The woman didn't expect that the other party not only didn't panic, but actually asked about herself. At this moment, he became a little panicked.
So, when you are falsely accused, never prove yourself, but learn to fight back - the person who framed you will most likely not react so quickly, and then you can respond calmly. Let him get messed up, and you won't get messed up.
At this time, the crowd of onlookers also became polarized. Some people believe Li Long and the others, while some are still doubtful.
"Auntie, do you want us to go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau together?" Li Long knew that he had to firm up his position at this time. He said loudly, "I will pay to have my fish appraised. If it is You bastard, I accept the punishment. If not, I don’t want you to compensate me for the damage to my reputation, so how about you just pay for the appraisal fee?”
Li Long’s words were so grand that he immediately won the prize. There was support from many onlookers present.
"That's right, go and let us open our eyes too!"
"The young man is very generous. As long as you pay for the appraisal fee, you don't have to pay compensation. If you think you are a sewage fish, then go?"< br>
“When the young man said this, I felt that he was confident and had no regrets. I think this fish is good!”
“That’s right, if it were a sewage fish, how could it be so beautiful? No matter how clean it is, it still has a smell, right? This fish just has a fishy smell...”
The audience’s attitude gradually changed Turning towards Li Long, the "aunt" who could at best be Li Long's aunt was a little anxious. How could she pay for the appraisal fee?
After all, she originally wanted to get Li Jianguo to give her a cheaper price in the name of being a sewage fish.
“You guys are messing around here!” The woman became a little bit rude, shouting at the top of her lungs: “You all know that the sewage fish comes from Ma County, and the sewage fish eats smelly water. That fish They are all dirty and cannot be eaten at all - do you dare to eat this fish?”
Some people were encouraged by the woman and retreated from the urge to buy fish.
Li Long was not afraid even if the woman did not respond directly. He stepped on the plow and said loudly:
"The sewage fish was indeed found in Ma County. I am not afraid to tell you that catching sewage fish The fish guy was arrested by people from our village at the police station!
We earn clean money, and we won’t use this to ruin our jobs! "
He randomly took out a grass carp weighing more than one kilogram from his pocket, pulled open the gill cover and showed it to everyone:
"Do you see it? The gills inside the gill cover of this fish are all red! If it is a sewage fish, when the gills filter the water, they will be covered with black mud! Is there any on this? Everyone, take a look, are there any? Also, the sewage smells fishy. Can you smell the fish smell? ”
When you drive a woman crazy, and then present strong evidence, you will be convincing.
After speaking, Li Long looked at the woman again:
"What's going on? I'm a fish and you still call me a sewage fish? If you want to frame me again, then go and go to the industrial and commercial or police station, it's up to you!"
The woman couldn't resist and pushed her way through the crowd, shouting. Li Long bullied her and ran away.
Obviously, she does not have the confidence to go to the industrial and commercial appraisal. After all, I just want to take advantage of it and don't want to involve myself.
The woman left, but the crowd of onlookers was still hesitant, wondering whether to buy Li Long's fish.
Li Jianguo is also in a bit of a dilemma. He has never encountered anyone like this before when selling things. Even if he did, he would usually face someone like this.
Difficult women are trouble.
At this moment, an old lady suddenly squeezed through the crowd and walked to the fish stall. She looked at Li Long and asked:
“Young man, have you been here these two years? The one selling small crucian carp and small loach?”
“It’s me!” Li Long was overjoyed and said hurriedly when someone helped break the situation. Said: "It's me, it's me. I have been selling fish since the market opened in the old street last winter."
"Then I know, my wife and I bought a lot of fish from you the year before last. I My wife said that your fish are good and fat, unlike those from other reservoirs, which are thin and meatless. Why didn’t you come last year? It was an old man who came?”
"That's my dad." Li Long was delighted. This was really a regular customer. He explained, "I got a tractor and had to do farm work, so my dad and my friends came over to sell fish. Our little Haizi , there are many aquatic plants and fish inside Just fat. There is no grass in many reservoirs now, so the fish will be thin!”
“That’s right, that’s what my wife said. You said your friend. It's the tall guy who doesn't talk much You’re tall, right? I remember... Come on, weigh some fish for me... You don’t have any small crucian carp or small fish?”
“Yes!” Li Long hurriedly picked up a bag from the sledge. Open it and pour it into the stall while saying, "This is about digging holes in the ice to get fish. We thought that everyone likes to eat big fish during the Chinese New Year. It's festive. This small fish doesn't have much. Auntie, you can take your pick!"
"Okay." The old lady Slowly squat down and start picking fish.
The onlookers understood after listening to the two people’s questions and answers. This young man turns out to be an old man in this market. People have been selling fish here for a long time. There is a special Haizi with aquatic plants. This fish is extraordinary!
It turns out that some people think this fish is expensive. If you say so, it is normal for the fish to be more expensive. This fish is fat!
Anyone with some common sense knows that most fish eat grass, and fish naturally thrive where there are aquatic plants, so someone immediately squatted down and started picking fish.
Seeing that the crisis was almost over, Li Jianguo wiped his sweat and looked at Li Long, feeling quite relieved.
If it were me or my father, I might not be able to settle this matter.
Next, several regular customers recognized Li Long and chatted with him about home affairs while others were picking fish. This made some people suspect that the old lady was asked to give up her worries and join the ranks of picking fish.
These old men and women are frequent visitors to the market and appear frequently, so it is unlikely that they will be trusted by others. Moreover, not one person knows Li Long, which shows that Li Long is right.
Actually, Li Long was sweating just now. When he came over, there were people watching, and the market manager was already walking this way.
If there is really a big quarrel, or if he is suppressed by the woman's momentum, there is a high probability that the market manager will remove his stall and take him out to the office to solve the problem.
Then it will be difficult to sell this car of fish.
Thanks to the old lady, when Li Long weighed the fish, he weighed the fish high and gave a few more crucian carp.
After that, the business went smoothly. The big fish was beautiful and everyone liked to see it. Those who had some money also liked to buy it.
Soon the sledge fish was almost sold out, so Li Long went to buy it again. He found that small crucian carp and small fish were also quite popular - of course, they were also cheap, at one dollar and two, which was more expensive than before, but much cheaper than big fish.
Unfortunately, we didn’t catch many big fish, so we couldn’t sell many.
Li Jianguo was carrying a yellow schoolbag to collect money. Because it was all change, the schoolbag soon became bulging. Li Long prepared another yellow satchel for him.
The bags of fish in the bucket of the tractor truck became less and less. By the time Li Long and the others had almost sold the fish, it was almost afternoon.
Only then did Li Long feel hungry. He slapped his thigh:
“Hey, you forgot to tell my sister that we were coming and didn’t ask her to prepare food!”
Li Jianguo looked at the stall and smiled. He said with a smile:
"Then don't talk about it now. The rest is Order the fish to sell, and then we go to dinner. After dinner, we take the fish to see them. By the way, ask your sister if you can take the red piano back. We just happen to play with Juan and Qiangqiang. . ”
In the past, when my siblings were in my hometown, the adults were OK, but the younger generation didn’t even know them. The distance is not far now. People like Li Jianguo not only hope that their generation will be harmonious, but also hope that the next generation will also have a good relationship.
"Okay." Li Long smiled.
"Hey, young man, I heard that you came here to sell fish. Come here quickly. Is this the only fish you have left?" An old man came to the stall and spoke.
Li Long saw that the old man looked familiar and knew the old customers, so he smiled and said:
"Old man, there are not many fish left. Which ones do you want to eat?"
"I want to stew some small crucian carp, but you don't have any more... Okay, let's have a carp, just that one." The old man looked at the stall full of big fish and felt a little regretful.
"Old man, there are big fish now. After the New Year, the fish and small fish will come to sell."
"Okay, I will come back then." The old man came over with a cloth bag and put the fish After putting it in, he carried it and walked away slowly.
"Xiaolong, there are many people who know you." Li Jianguo said with a smile.
“That’s when Daqiang and I first went to the factories’ courtyards to sell fish, and then went to the market to sell fish. There were quite a few people who knew me, but I didn’t know them.”
Later, he added: "Actually, they don't know me, they just know that the fish I sell is delicious - Brother, to be honest, the fish in our Xiaohaizi is just better than the fish in other reservoirs."
"That's right." Li Jianguo was quite proud. "After eating fish from Xiaohaizi, I don't want to eat fish from Dahaizi anymore. It doesn't taste good! I don't want to eat it after two meals. Your sister-in-law is different. Don’t worry about eating, hey!”
The remaining fish were sold out in a short time. Li Long and Li Jianguo closed the stall and pulled the sledge to the car park.
Li Qingxia was warming himself in front of the stove with the old man at the car park. There were two roasted potatoes on the stove.
Looking at the brown color and the aroma of burning, it is very appetizing.
Hey, I can do it.
"Okay, our sons are here, and I have to leave too. Take this fish, we are close friends, you can take the fish back to celebrate the New Year." Li Qingxia stood up with a smile, "Let's go, Xia Tian I'll come again, and we'll talk to each other then. ."
"Okay." The old man picked up the two roasted potatoes and put them into Li Qingxia's hands: "Brother, see you later."
The old man is quite honest. No more fare.
In the car, Li Long told his father what he had just said to Li Jianguo. Of course, his father had no objection.
Although I ate roasted potatoes, my stomach was really not full. At this time, I really need a fried pork noodle to fill it up.
Li Qingxia has always had a good appetite. The main reason why he can live to be over 90 years old is that he can always eat. He can still eat a lot of food into his 80s. If you can eat and think clearly, then there is basically no serious problem with your body.
Driving the tractor to the canteen, Li Qingxia wanted to watch from outside, but Li Long refused and directly put the fish for his sister in a bag and carried it into the canteen. He chose a seat by the window and sat down so he could look at the tractor.
Besides, there is only the sledge left in the tractor. The big brother has brought in the bags and scales, as well as the crank handle, so there is no need to worry about the tractor.
Li Jianguo went to order three noodles with oily pork, and also asked for three noodles with extra noodles, and three bowls of noodle soup. After paying the money and food stamps, I walked back and sat down.
It was already past meal time, and there were not many people in the cafeteria. Li Long and his friends' meals were served quickly.
The three people put the peeled garlic into the bowl, mixed it, and ate it.
I’m hungry, so I don’t have much to say.
The rice in the cafeteria tastes pretty good, and the portion of meat is sufficient. The meat of the luxurious noodles that cost 35 yuan in later generations is just like this.
The noodles were brought to the table, and the three of them poured the noodles into the bowl together in a tacit understanding, stirred a few times to coat the noodles with vegetable juice, and then continued to eat.

I hardly chew it.
In a hurry, I added one more noodles to one portion of noodles, and I finished the meal in less than fifteen minutes.
There was no pizuna left in the bowl.
Pour the noodle soup into the bowl, shake it to spread all the vegetable juice into the soup, then blow on it and drink it slowly.
This is called scraping oil. From the mouth to the stomach, everything is covered with vegetable juice. Drinking the noodle soup not only dissolves the original food, but also flushes the esophagus.
Very refreshing.
The feeling of not wanting to move.
It was delicious.
Half an hour later, the three of them went out and Li Long drove the tractor to the yard where Li Xia lived.
When the tractor entered the alley, she saw Hongqin and two children playing in the snow. Hongqin had sharp eyes and recognized Li Long at a glance. She shouted loudly:
"Brother-in-law! My brother-in-law is here. ! Brother-in-law!" He threw down the snowball and rushed over.
Li Long then saw clearly that they were building little snowmen there.
Li Long hurriedly slowed down the tractor and shouted:
"Slow down, slow down, go open the gate and tell your mother that your uncle and uncle are coming. ”
"Okay!" Hongqin turned around and ran away.
On the carriage, Li Qingxia and Li Jianguo looked at each other. Li Jianguo said with some annoyance:
“I forgot to bring a few pieces of candy.”
“Me too. I didn’t take it.” Li Qingxia was equally regretful.
"Hey, I brought it. I brought a lot when I went out." Li Long drove the tractor and said with a smile, "I'll give it to you later."
Two children playing with Hongqin leaned against the walls on both sides and looked at the tractor.
Li Long took out a few pieces of candy from his pocket and sprinkled two on the side:
"I am Hongqin's uncle. You can take it and eat it. Hongqin can't play with you right now." "It's gone!"
After the tractor passed by, the two children picked up the candy and shouted loudly and headed home.
At this time, the attractiveness of fruit candies to children is no less than that of various blind bag cards in later generations.
Probably more attractive than that.
The tractor drove into the yard, and Li Xia was already waiting in the yard. She was very excited to see her father, eldest brother and younger brother coming together.
As soon as the tractor turned off, Li Xia's first sentence was:
"Dad, brother, Xiaolong, have you eaten? I will cook it for you now."
< br>"I've eaten, I've eaten." Li Jianguo said, holding the bag containing the fish, "This is the fish I took out from the ice cave in the past two days, big red carp, for you to eat during the New Year."
Li Xia took the fish and let the person into the house:
"Come in and warm yourself up, come in quickly!"
Li Long took out a large handful of fruit candies from his pocket and handed it to Hongqin:
"Hongqin, here, eat some candy! Remember to brush your teeth sooner or later!"
"Hey, I got it, uncle!" Hongqin took the candy and put it in her pocket, then followed Li Xia After entering the house, she was very curious about the big fish.
Although a big carp weighing three to four kilograms is not as big as a silver carp that is over one meter long, it will have a stronger visual impact.
The fish has a red head and a red tail. Although it is frozen solid, the fish is very wide. It is about fifty centimeters long and nearly twenty centimeters wide. It is very fat!
The scales were as big as a five-cent coin. Hongqin was curious and wanted to pick at it, but Li Xia patted her:
“Don’t touch it, it’s very fishy. You’ll have to wash your hands again later. . ”
Although Hongqin was bitten by her mother, she was not sad at all and still squatted there and looked at the fish.
"Sister, ask Hongqin to follow us back and stay with eldest brother for two days." Li Long went to the kitchen and said to Li Xia, "Youjuan and Qiangqiang will take her with her, so Hongqin can have some fun."
"Wouldn't that bother sister-in-law?" Li Xia was worried.
The eldest brother is definitely fine, and so is the child, but the sister-in-law has to take care of her parents. Would she be happy if another child was allowed to go there?
“Hey, it was my sister-in-law who brought this up.” Li Long said with a smile, “My sister-in-law said that Hongqin is here alone and there are no familiar people to play with. My brother-in-law is busy, so you have to take care of her. Home, why not take her over there, and youjuan and qiangqiang will watch. She can't suffer."
"Okay..." Li Xia actually wanted to get acquainted with Hongqin and her cousin. Let's play together. She had thought before that it would be good if her family was in Team Four.
But since her husband chose this profession, she had no choice but to follow.
Fortunately, it’s not very far. I can see my father often, and my little brother also comes over often, which is good.
As for life, it is better than before, but there are fewer familiar people, which is not important.
The matter was settled, and Hongqin herself was very happy. She was already thinking about how to go to her uncle's house to play with her sister and brother.
Then I went to pack my own things.
Although children don't know many things, they have their own understanding and their own world.
"Hey, this yard is nice." Li Qing and Li Jianguo both said, "It's weird. You can grow vegetables in the summer. You don't need to buy them."
"When will the country be prosperous? Come back?" Li Jianguo asked.
“It’s evening.” Li Xia said, “The Chinese New Year is approaching recently, and the food factory has sent a lot of meat.
There are many people shopping here, and the food factory is getting more and more popular. I’m looking forward to the butcher stall here. I also plan to build a butcher shop here.”
"That's a good thing!" Li Qingxia was very happy after hearing this. "That shop is better than a stall. I think from now on, houses will be built on both sides of the old street, and they will be shops. There are many more people here than in the county."
Li Longxin said, Dad, you are really prescient.
He was also thinking about whether he could build a shop here. Even if it didn't open, he could still make a lot of money by renting it out for food and rent, right?
Think about it, the basic plan is not here, but I can mention it to my brother-in-law.
Li Long came over occasionally, but Li Jianguo and Li Qingxia rarely came over. After Li Xia poured the water, they started chatting. The main thing is to ask each other about the situation on both sides and whether life is good.
Because Chen Xingbang sells meat, Li Xia naturally has no shortage of meat. Although we don’t talk about eating good meat every day, the scraps and bones are enough for a family of three.
It can be seen from Li Xia's face that she is obviously much better than when she first came from her hometown. (End of this chapter)
