Chapter 23 ： do good

Chapter 23 : do good 

 Did you catch this fish in the river? Mother Li looked at the fish in Li Shaofan's hand in disbelief. You know, fishermen are not so easy to catch, usually have to use nets. But you went out for less than twenty minutes, and you caught such a big grass carp back. It really opened my eyes! 

 "Of course, Mom. What do you think of my cooking?" Li Shaofan smiled proudly and said," Hurry up and help me clean up the fish. We'll eat fish tonight." 

 "Okay, fish." Mother Li replied with a smile. 

 Scaling, chiseling, and eviscerating were all actions that Li Shaofan was familiar with. In a few minutes, the fish were cleaned up by him. 

 "It smells so good. Mom, your cooking is getting better and better." Li Shaofan inhaled the fragrance and said intoxicated," If you open a restaurant, business will definitely be booming." 

 "Hehe, don't flatter me." Mother Li smiled and waved her hand." If I really open a restaurant, the land at home will be deserted." 

 "But Mom, your cooking is really good. You have to teach me tomorrow." Li Shaofan looked at his mother expectantly. 

 "Sure." Upon hearing this, Mother Li nodded."There aren't many boys who can cook now." I saw on the news that many girls asked to cook when they were looking for a partner. If you learn how to cook, you'll definitely be able to find someone easier." 

 "Mom, I know how to cook since I was a child. I'm just not good at steaming steamed buns and making dumplings. I just want to learn these things. In case you want to go out and play one day, I can cook by myself when I'm not home." Li Shaofan couldn't help but admire his mother's associative ability. Anything could be related to finding a partner. 

 "Okay, I'll teach you when I'm done." Mrs. Li smiled and said," I didn't expect our son to be a big girl soon." When Li Shaofan heard his mother's words, he couldn't help but feel speechless. He gestured with his hands and said,"Mom, I saw a giant tortoise in the river! Do you think I should catch him?" 

 Mother Li listened and her eyes lit up."Then why didn't you catch it?" It's wild. If it's sold in the market, it'll definitely fetch a good price." 

 Li Shaofan explained helplessly: "Mom, think about it, if I grab it with my bare hands, what if the bastard bites me back?" Besides, what if that bastard has some virus on him?" 

 "Then go after you eat. Take a net bag and try it." Mother Li still refused to give up. 

 Li Shaofan sighed: "Mom, that bastard was scared away by me, and I don't think he will come out these days." Wait a few days to see, maybe then caught. When the time comes, I'll wait for my father to come back and kill him to stew." 

 Mother Li felt that it made sense and nodded." You're right." 

 Li Shaofan put forward his own idea: "Mom, actually I was thinking, can we keep fish?" Space water can make fish grow wildly, so keeping fish must be very valuable." 

 Li mother listened to but some helpless: "Shaofan ah, can we not be a demon again?" Many people are waiting to laugh at us about the wasteland. If you suddenly say that you want to keep fish now, do you know how many people will speak ill of us behind our backs?" 

 " But…" Li Shaofan wanted to say something else. 

 Mother Li interrupted him,"If you keep fish, where do you plan to keep them? It can't be in the south of the village, right?" Gee, that plot of land looks like a real mess now, pesticide bottles are everywhere, and the water stinks. How could you think of keeping fish there? ". Mom sounded worried."I'm all for vegetables, but we have to take it one step at a time, right? " 

 Looking at Li Shaofan's sullen expression, Mother Li couldn't help but tease him." What? Do you think I poured cold water on you?" She patted Li Shaofan's shoulder gently." Actually, after your vegetable plan succeeds, I definitely support you to raise fish." 

 Mother Li's worries were not unreasonable. Their family had invested a lot of money in that wasteland. If the vegetable farming failed and they rashly went to fish farming, once they lost money, the family would probably be in trouble. At that time, their entire family would probably be unable to lift their heads. 

 "Mom, I'm not angry." Li Shaofan raised his head with a smile on his face." You're right. After the vegetable project succeeds, it won't be too late for me to raise fish." 

 "Come, eat more fish. "Li mother smiled and gave Li Shaofan a large piece of fish in his bowl. 

 After lunch break, Li Shaofan picked up his woven bag and prepared to go to the ground. When his mother wasn't looking, he grabbed a plastic bucket by the door. After a round in the field, I couldn't find any ripe apples. However, he noticed that the apple tree that had been watered with spatial water earlier was obviously growing better than the other trees. Even the grass under the tree was especially lush. 

 "Alas, these things are not for you. "Li Shaofan muttered while pulling out the weeds, and then carrying the bucket quietly into Liu Zihan's orchard. He chose the six trees with the most fruit and poured half a bucket of water under each tree. After that, Li Shaofan ran to the apple tree in his field and waited expectantly for the apple to turn red. He thought it was interesting, so he went to other fields and watered a few trees. Then, he thought, others would think it was the fertility of the land, and their doubts would be dispelled. 

 At four o'clock in the afternoon, Li Shaofan hurried home with a bucket. He shouted all the way: "Fifth Uncle, Fifth Uncle, go and see quickly, the two apple trees in your home are red!" He shouted to the others," Second Uncle, your apples are ripe. If you don't pick them, they will fall to the ground." He said to them,"Brother Jian, your apples are also good." Xiao Fan, is this true?" A few people asked excitedly. 

 Li Shaofan rolled his eyes and replied,"What good is it for me to lie to you?" If I'm lying to you, come to my house. Worried that I ran away?" Then he said," You guys go to the fields first. I have to go to Aunt Liu's house. Her apples are ripe." 

 When everyone heard this, they immediately ran to the ground. Li Shaofan ran all the way to Liu Zihan's house and shouted breathlessly,"Zihan, Zihan, open the door!" How many apple trees are ripe in your orchard!" Liu Zihan opened the door and saw that Li Shaofan was exhausted. She quickly asked him to come in and drink water. But Li Shaofan waved his hand and said,"I just came back from the field. Go pick apples quickly." 

 And so everyone got busy picking ripe apples. And Li Shaofan's wisdom and enthusiasm, let everyone harvest a beautiful autumn. Brother Shaofan, are you kidding me?" Liu Zihan's big eyes sparkled with doubt. Yesterday, I went to the orchard to take a look, but there was nothing there." "It's not just your family. Fifth Uncle, Second Uncle, and Brother Jian's apples are also ripe. Maybe God heard your prayer, this time your apples ripen best, better than ours. You've made a big profit this time." Li Shaofan smiled and said. "Mom! Mom! Our apples are ripe. Let's go pick them!" Liu Zihan rushed into the house excitedly and held her mother's hand." Brother Shaofan said, hey, where's Brother Xiaofan?" "Zihan, you're not lying to me, are you?" Liu Chunrong looked at the excited daughter asked. "Of course not." Liu Zihan immediately repeated what Li Shaofan had said to her just now." Let's go quickly." Okay, okay, okay. The apple was ripe, and the news soon spread throughout the village. Almost all the villagers flocked to Liu Zihan's orchard, marveling at the sudden harvest. "It's really God's manifestation!" Looking at the trees full of red apples, several families are grateful. They did not know that this was actually Li Shaofan's credit. In the joy of harvest, everyone is full of energy. Within an hour, all the apples had been picked. Looking at the smiles on their faces, Li Shaofan also felt extremely satisfied, especially when he saw Liu Zihan's excited look. His heart was even more happy. "Brother Shaofan." Liu Zihan ran over. Although her face was red from exhaustion, she was excited. "This time, your family has the most apples. It's really great!" Li Shaofan said with a smile. Hey, we're going to make a fortune this time!" Li Shaofan said with a smile. 

 " Brother Shaofan, I actually came to ask you for a favor." Liu Zihan said shyly," Can you contact that buyer and see if he can take away our apples as well?" 

 "Haha, what's so hard about that?" Li Shaofan patted his chest generously."Now this apple is a hot commodity. I promise to help you sell it." Men can't say no!" 

 Relaxed, confident and calm, this was Li Shaofan's style. No matter what difficulties he faces, he always faces them with optimism and always finds a way to solve them. His attitude also infected the people around him, allowing them to remain calm and confident in the face of difficulties.
