Looking at the two big turtles in the bucket, Tian Xiaohai smiled happily and snapped his fingers: "Sister, we are rich. This turtle is probably sold for four or five thousand yuan! With two bags of pine mushrooms, it is estimated that it can be sold for more than 15,000 yuan. You have the tuition fee. For the remaining money, I will buy some delicious food for our family and then buy you clothes and shoes."

He hadn't bought clothes and shoes for his sister for a long time, and he couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

"Brother, I don't need clothes and shoes. I still have to wear them. Our family still owes debts!" ​​Xiaolan replied sensiblely. When she said this, her little feet were unconsciously shrank back, for fear that Tian Xiaohai would see it.

Seeing her sister retreating, Tian Xiaohai was surprised and looked down, and soon saw that her sister's white feet were covered with mud.

He couldn't help but be surprised: "Sister, what's wrong with you? Where are your shoes?"

"I'm at home! I don't wear it!" Xiaolan replied in a low voice.

"Why don't you wear it? There are grass and thorns on this mountain. What if it's pierced to the feet?" Tian Xiaohai cursed angrily: "Don't do such stupid things in the future."

"Brother, I'm not stupid!" Xiaolan's eyes were red, and she bit her lip and said, "I... I'm afraid of wearing my shoes! I'll still wear them to school in the second half of the year!"

Seeing her sister's aggrieved and sensible look, Tian Xiaohai's heart was about to break.

He knew it was not that his sister was stupid, but that his family knew that his family was poor and he was afraid of wearing shoes, so he saved some wear. This would not be easy to break, and he could continue to wear old sandals to school in the second half of the year.

"Sister, I blamed you wrongly." Tian Xiaohai landed his hands on his sister Xiaolan's shoulder.

"Brother, you are right! I know you feel sorry for me." Xiaolan said "moan" and couldn't help crying.

"Okay, okay! Sister won't cry. Looking back, brother will buy you new sandals." Tian Xiaohai gently patted Xiaolan's shoulder.

"No need! My sandals can still be worn." Xiaolan wiped her eyes with her white and tender little hands and said to Tian Xiaohai with a smile: "Mom said, you still have to marry a wife in the past few years, and there are many places to spend money!"

"Silly girl, no matter how much money you spend on marrying a wife, you can save it by saving a pair of sandals." Tian Xiaohai used his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then helped her to stroke the hair that was messed up due to her crying nose. He comforted her with a smile: "I can earn more than 10,000 yuan this time, I am not short of this little money. After selling turtles and pine mushrooms, I will buy you clothes and shoes."

"Brother, you are so nice! You are my dear brother!" Xiaolan smiled and hugged Tian Xiaohai, then pouted playfully and said, "Okay! I agree that you will come out to buy clothes and shoes for me with 100 yuan. However, it will be counted if you sell it for 15,000 yuan."

"It will definitely be sold for 15,000 yuan." Tian Xiaohai replied confidently: "I will go to the market to ask tomorrow morning."

"Brother, don't hurry up on clothes and shoes. Pine mushrooms are prone to breakage and cannot be delayed for a long time. You have to take action as soon as possible. Sell these two things first." Xiaolan frowned and thought, "By the way, brother, why don't you call Akai's cousin? He is not a chef in a restaurant? He must have a sales presence."

"What are you doing with him?" Tian Xiaohai shook his head and said, "Now their family is not here to pay New Year's greetings. Besides, my parents had a car accident before and asked their family to borrow money, but they didn't lend a penny. I will definitely not help us with this matter. Forget it!"

"Brother, please try it! Last month, I saw cousin Akai and a middle-aged fat man go to Yangcun next door to collect dried bamboo shoots! Maybe their hotel is just in time to ask for mountain goods! If you don't borrow money from him, what are you afraid of!" Xiaolan advised.

"Okay, I'll try calling now." Tian Xiaohai took out his cell phone on the spot and called his cousin Akai's phone number.

"Hey! Who are you?" The other party's tone was a little bad. Obviously, he didn't have the number of Guan Tian Xiaohai at all.

"Cousin Akai, it's me Xiaohai!" Tian Xiaohai replied with a smile.

"Xiaohai, what do you call me?" Akai on the phone was extremely shocked and immediately explained: "Don't borrow money from me! I have already paid the salary this month, and I owe money to Huabei! By the way, if you don't have money, you can borrow money from Huabei!"

Upon hearing this, Tian Xiaohai sighed in his heart: This cousin still looks down on him after all.

"I won't lend you money!" He smiled bitterly and shook his head, ready to hang up the phone.

At this time, my sister Xiaolan shouted to the other end of the phone: "Cousin Akai, is my brother trying to ask you, do you collect turtles and pine mushrooms?"

"What? Are there turtles and pine mushrooms? Receive, collect, of course!" Akai said to Tian Xiaokai excitedly: "Xiaohai, are you sure there are turtles and pine mushrooms? If there is, please bring them quickly. I will say hello to our manager tonight. Our hotel is short of this thing!"

Seeing that his cousin was so anxious, Tian Xiaohai didn't want to worry too much, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll come after dinner. I rushed to the county town before 8:30. By the way, which hotel are you in?"

"Me! In the most awesome hotel in our county, Grand Hyatt Hotel. When you arrive, call me and I will tell the security guard and they will let you in." Akai replied with a sense of superiority.

"Grand Hyatt Hotel?" Tian Xiaohai was slightly stunned. He remembered that Tang Lingling told him in the afternoon that the day after tomorrow and she and Yang Fang would hold a birthday dinner in the private room of Grand Hyatt Hotel.

"What's wrong? Xiaohai, have you never been to Grand Hyatt Hotel?" Akai asked curiously.

"No, I've been to such a high-end place." Tian Xiaohai replied embarrassedly.

"It just so happens that you can see what high-end, elegant and high-end quality is." Akai replied proudly: "Xiaohai is not my cousin. I said to you. You are over 20 people this year. If you haven't been to such a place, it will be considered in vain. However, if you come tonight, it will not be in vain. Haha! Okay, let's not say much, come after dinner! I'll wait for you!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Tian Xiaohai didn't like his cousin's attitude, but he still tolerated it.

He put away his cell phone and shouted to his sister: "Let's go! I'll go to the river to catch two fish."

After saying that, Tian Xiaotian carried the bucket and ran quickly towards the river bank.

He opened his eyes and glanced around. He soon saw two grass carp weighing three or four pounds in the aquatic plants on the bank of the river, eating water plants in the river.

Tian Xiaohai put down the bucket and walked over lightly.

Just two meters away from the river, he suddenly jumped into the water, reached out to fish the river, and then put two grass carp weighing three or four pounds into the net pocket.

"Let's go home, one will be given to your parents and you, and one will be given to Sister Xiuyun's house." Tian Xiaohai smiled and poured one of the grass carp into the bucket, while the other was in a net bag.

Ten minutes later, the two siblings came back and forth.

Tian Xiaohai changed into clothes and told his sister to make supper.

After explaining the matter at home, he carried the grass carp to Sister Xiuyun's house.

When he arrived at the backyard of Sister Xiuyun's house, Tian Xiaohai smelled a strong chicken fragrance from afar.

He stretched his neck and was about to look inside, but the wooden door opened with a creaking sound.

"Xiaohai, you're finally here. Come in quickly!"

Gao Xiuyun's face is like the spring breeze, slightly red.

She grabbed Tian Xiaohai's hand and walked into the yard.

"Bang!"

The gate of the courtyard is closed.
Chapter completed!
