Li Changle and he carried the bamboo baskets into the store and began to weigh them, "Rice and fish are 45 jins and 8 taels, a pair of large flower dragons are 7 jins, and sea bass are 2 jins and 8 taels."
Chen Dong picked up the abacus and fiddled with it, "Rice fish 160, Dahualong 105, sea bass 1 yuan 4, a total of 266 yuan 1."
Then he handed him the list and said, "You can do the math, right?"
Li Changle took the order and looked at it and said: "Add a few dollars, give it to 268."
Chen Dong laughed awkwardly and said: "Ale, the price I gave is already very high. If I add more money, I will lose money." He felt a little strange. Wang Mazi always said that he was a pig, and he still helped others when they were sold. How come you are so good at counting money?
Li Changle smiled and patted him, "If you send me 268, I will send it to you as well. If I have good products in the future, I will send them to your home." It's pretty smooth!
Chen Dong hesitated for a moment, thinking that the goods he received from him would make a profit of dozens of yuan if resold, "Okay, we can't increase the price like this next time!"
"Alright!" Li Changle replied, but what he was thinking in his heart was, let's talk about it next time!
Chen Dong counted the money and handed it to him. After counting, Li Changle went into the shop and hid the money under the complicated looks of several women. He came out and said hello to Chen Dong, then strode toward the hospital with a basket on his back.
????????????
As I walked, I was thinking in my mind. I would pay the hospitalization fee first, and then go to Dr. Lin to ask about my father's condition. Is there any special medicine for treating snake venom?
Then I went to see my dad, then went home and waited for the tide to go out, then went to pry the oysters and search for pearls.
He also thought about his previous life, during the first few months after his father's accident, he was so confused that he didn't care about anything all day long. He didn't know how much medical expenses his father spent in the hospital, and he didn't even know how Nan paid for his own share. know?
Thinking about it now makes me blush. A grown man relies either on his parents or his wife. No wonder the villagers laughed at Anan behind her back, saying that she had raised a pretty boy who only knew how to make a living...
I arrived at the hospital before I knew it. I first went to the payment office to pay all the fees, then I asked Dr. Lin where he was seeing his doctor, and walked towards the outpatient department.
When he arrived at the clinic, there happened to be no one to see him. He put down his backpack and handed him the bill after entering. "Dr. Lin, the hospitalization fee has been paid in full. Has the snake venom in my father been cured?"
Dr. Lin took the order and looked at it, then realized who he was asking, "The barefoot doctor in your village did a good job. He removed part of the poisonous blood from the patient. After treatment, the damage caused by the snake venom to his body should not be serious." .”
Li Changle thought of his father in his previous life, when he had difficulty even walking after leaving the hospital. "Dr. Lin, are there any special medicines for the five-step snake? Drugs like serum, as long as they can remove the poison from my father's body." , I’m not afraid of spending money.”
"I used the five-step snake serum on him last night, but due to the special nature of this snake venom, if the family has the conditions, it can be used for three more days, but there will be an additional cost per day."
"Okay Doctor Lin, please give my father the medicine, and I'll pay the fee right away." Li Changle said without hesitation.
"You don't need to pay for the time being. When the fees you paid in advance are used up, you will be notified to pay."
"Okay." Li Changle turned around and wanted to give him two pieces of mackerel, but another patient came. He had to thank him gratefully and left the clinic. He felt much relieved when he thought that his father's condition was not as serious as in his previous life.
He came out of the consulting room and walked towards the inpatient department. Two young women carrying bamboo baskets who were wandering around the registration area ran towards him as soon as they saw him.
The round-faced woman with short hair looked worried and asked: "Ale, we came here when we heard the news when we got home. Is dad's injury serious?"
Li Changle was stunned for a moment before he recognized the two of them. The woman with short shoulder-length hair and a round face was his elder sister-in-law Wang Meifang, while the woman with a slightly square face and two pigtails was his second sister-in-law Zhou Yuzhen.
Li Changle told the two of them what Dr. Lin said, "I asked the doctor to use the medicine for another three days. I have already paid the money I owe. When dad returns, we will divide it equally according to the hospital's bill."
Of the two sisters-in-law, the elder sister-in-law is very economical and knows how to make ends meet. She often complained in private that her parents were partial to the third child, but even though her parents were sick and in pain, they never treated them badly.
Second sister-in-law is the kind of person who says, "If I don't take advantage of you, don't take advantage of me either."
Therefore, the person who dislikes him most in the family is also his second sister-in-law!
Li Changle used to hate her the most, she would not even say hello to her when he met her on the street.
It took me half a life in my last life to understand that a prodigal son who did nothing did nothing but fool around every day, either relying on his parents or his wife. If he just took advantage, how many people would be happy with him?
Seeing that Father Li was fine, Sister-in-law Li and Sister-in-law Li were relieved and said, "That's good. You can take us to see Abba first."
"It's in the inpatient department at the back." Li Changle led the two of them toward the back.
Sister-in-law Li saw him carrying a backpack and a net bag and said, "Ale, are you going fishing on the sea?"
"Yeah! I found a rice fish and a pair of large flower dragons... I kept the green squid, the mackerel and the conger eel without selling them."
Li Changle thought that even if he didn't tell, several women selling fish in the same village would spread the news about him selling fish, so he told them all.
Sister-in-law Li didn't believe it and thought he was bragging, "Ale, you really got the rice fish, the big flower dragon, and sold it for so many banknotes? You're not lying to us, are you?"
Sister-in-law Li didn't say a word, but the expression on her face was very obvious. She was bragging and didn't make a draft!
Seeing that the two of them didn't believe it, Li Changle had to take off the backpack and put it on the flower stand, "Look! I lied to you. If I didn't find a big deal, where would I get the money to pay for the hospital bills?"
"It's not that I don't believe you!" Sister-in-law Li explained nonchalantly, looking at the mackerel in the basket and feeling very distressed, "Ah Le, listen to my sister-in-law and just keep a few worthless fish at home to eat!"
She said, opening the fish gills and looking at it, "Such fresh conger eels can be sold for at least three or four cents per catty, and Spanish mackerel can be sold for two to three cents per catty. Nan is weaving nets at home, and only earns a few cents for a day's work." "A dozen or so kilograms of fish can be sold for several yuan. You can help me sell it later."
I have never experienced hardship and don’t know how important money is.
Li Changle picked up the basket and said, "No need, sister-in-law, I'll keep the conger eel for dad to replenish, the mackerel, and the green zhanpipi shrimp. We'll just keep them for ourselves."
Usually, when I buy fish and shrimp from the sea at home, I only take home the worthless ones such as shrimps and sand crabs to eat. I sell them for money like mackerel, which can be sold for a few cents per catty. .
Mackerel looks somewhat similar to Qingzhan at first glance. They are both good raw materials for making dried fish, but the meat quality is far inferior.
The meat of Qingzhan is also thick and fishy, ​​and the taste of Spanish mackerel is much better, especially the fish tail, which is known as "pompano mouth, mackerel tail".
After hearing this, Mrs. Li felt that this was the brother-in-law she knew. As long as he could eat it, no matter how expensive it was, he would eat it.
After thinking about it again, I felt that he was much better than before. At least he didn't sell gold to Wang Mazi as rice straw, and he still knew how to shoulder his own responsibilities.
