Chapter 1807: So Happy He Forgot Home (Part 3)
Miao Fengqin was carrying her family’s wooden bucket and came with Wang Fengqiao to wait for the fish distribution. Just as she got close, she overheard the conversation between Wang Zhenguo and Lu Erxiong, and immediately burst into laughter, "Oh my, Erxiong, your Auntie hasn’t spoiled you for nothing. When Auntie gets her share of the fish, she’ll give you a big carp and make sure you’re completely satisfied."
"Thank you, Auntie!" Lu Erxiong quickly expressed his gratitude, but then continued, "Auntie should keep the fish for herself because if you give it to me, Auntie won’t have any left to eat."
Wang Fengqiao couldn’t help but comment, "Erxiong is such a good kid; listen to how beautifully he speaks. Brother, can you really have the heart not to give them some fish?"
Wang Zhenguo was both amused and a bit exasperated by this.
"Sure, sure, sure, every kid will get some, and Comrades Cheng Baoguo and Wang Cuilan will also get a share. Our brigade spent so many industrial coupons on these two comrades, who isn’t aware of this?" Even Guan Yu and Lu Tianzhi’s industrial coupons, which were two or three per month, were used by fellow villagers when they didn’t purchase industrial goods.
Today, a total of six nets were collected. Carp, silver carp, white carp, grass carp, snakehead, catfish, and other fish were categorized and tallied. Each person could get around five jins, and everyone quickly took out the buckets and bowls they had brought from home.
Wang Zhenguo stopped the clamor among the crowd and said, "The kids have been waiting patiently for a long time; shall we give them their share first? Any objections?"
"None, none, no objections."
"It’s only right to give the kids their share first since they’ve just come back. We won’t say anything against it."
"Captain, hurry and distribute them. The sky looks overcast; it might snow."
Since there were no objections, Wang Zhenguo called up Xibao.
