Chapter 117 Don't Leave It to Me
"Why not? Come on, I'll give you some more. Eat it quickly and bring it back to your mother!"
"No, no, Auntie, this is enough for me." Half of the noodles in Ah Ji's bowl were untouched. This time he did not wait for Aunt Xu to come over and take his "bowl". He quickly stood up and ran away.
Xu Ning glanced at his back curiously, and the next second he continued to eat.
"Kid, why are you running so fast?"
"Chunhua, please sit down and eat. Don't worry about it. Let the children worry about it themselves."
"I know, I know……"
On the other side, Ah Ji walked past the gate of the village chief's yard with a smile on his face, holding the bowl carefully. Just at this moment, Qin Xianglan walked out of the yard.
"Aji, what are you carrying?" Qin Xianglan and Aji are of the same generation. Although Aji is more than ten years older than her, Qin Xianglan never takes the initiative to call outsiders.
"Nothing." As soon as Ah Ji saw Qin Xianglan, he immediately put away his smile and quickly covered the bowl with one hand.
Because Qin Xianglan was much shorter than Aji, and Aji intentionally raised the bowl, Qin Xianglan did not see what was in Aji's hand.
Although she couldn't see it, the smell in the air let her know what it was.
"You're so stingy. Do you think someone is going to steal your things?" After saying that, Qin Xianglan turned her face away and walked into the yard.
Aji didn't know why the girl was angry again. He shook his head and quickly quickened his pace to go home.
The sun rose above the top of the mountain, and people from the village who were helping to build the house came to the Xu family one after another.
"Xu Da, why did you move here?" Qin Da didn't know that the Xu family had moved here. He came to the Xu family after having breakfast at home after finishing his work.
"When materials are shipped in from the city later, my mother is worried, so she decided to build a shed here and live here for a few days."
"This shed is too flimsy, Xu Da, why don't you live in my house!" Qin Da didn't believe Xu Da's explanation. He was not stupid enough to think that the Xu family really moved here for this reason. It seemed that something happened in his uncle's house.
Now was not the time to dwell on this matter, as more and more villagers were coming over. Xu Da said a few perfunctory words and ran off to help.
Xu Ning and his little friends looked at each other, rubbed their bulging bellies, and went to the beach with their bowls.
Qin Da didn't know what to say. Seeing Old Lady Xu handing the bowl to Zhang, he quickly went over to her and said, "Auntie, I counted the seafood in the village today. There are about 500 to 600 kilograms, mostly fish. Are you sure you want to take all of it?"
"Yes, I will accept seafood that is not necessarily fresh. I will also accept dried seafood. Have you asked the price in the city? I will charge you two cents more than the price you charge me."
"Two cents? That's too much, ma'am! One cent! Please don't persuade me, one cent is a lot!" If there are several hundred kilograms every day, and he earns one cent per kilogram, he can earn several hundred cents every day. This is something he had never dared to think about before.
"Then it's one cent. You can work harder and put the seafood you collect on the boat over there on the beach, and Xu Da will transport it to the boat."
"Row!"
……
"Aji, you can't be paid today. You have to work harder, okay?" Aji brought the bowl home. After persuading his mother for a long time, his mother finally agreed to eat the noodles that Aji brought back.
Before eating, Aji's mother poured the noodles in the bowl into her own bowl, carefully cleaned the bowl, and urged Aji to go back to work.
"Mom, you must finish eating, don't leave any for me, I've already eaten a lot!"
