Chapter 10 Selling Fish

My third son hurriedly flipping over the wall of the backyard in the moonlight. After turning over the backyard, he was the private land outside the village. Generally, the private land of each household is divided behind the village to facilitate business.

After walking for a while, several people were about to leave the village. Li Wen had space and was more sensitive to his ears and ears. Hush! Don’t move, there are people in front of him.

When the two of them heard this, they immediately stopped and looked forward. They saw a figure working in the ground in front. When they heard the movements on Li Wen, they shouted: "Who is there?"

Li Wen swept his ears, picked up the soil and threw it at the grass in front. With a squeak, the figure lowered his head and continued to work. He beated, it turned out to be a mouse, which scared me.

"It's okay, it's not too late, it's getting home to bed, and you have to get up early tomorrow," the figure seemed to be frightened after a while, so he picked up the farm tool and carried it on his shoulders and left.

"You are still working in the middle of the night. Your sixth uncle is so diligent. His father Li Deyou heard the figure's voice and smiled softly.

"Haha, I was shocked just now, for fear of being discovered, but Xiao Wen was still shocked," Li Quan said with a slap in his chest.

"Go away quickly, and you still have to leave time to fish," the three of them hurriedly rushed towards the reservoir.

After a while, the three of them came to the reservoir. Because there was a village pumping station where Li Wen was fishing yesterday, and there were people stationed at the pumping station at night, the three of them did not dare to go there, but climbed down a remote slope.

"Dad, you and your second brother level the fishing place first." I went to find a fishing rod, and Li Wen found a suitable platform. It was relatively remote here, and there was a place with a suitable water depth, so big fish should be living underneath.

After running for more than 20 meters, I took out the small tree I folded yesterday from the space, and took a little luminous tape, and prepared to wrap it on the small wooden strips used to make fish floats, otherwise I would not be able to see the fish floats at night.

"Well, okay, dad and second brother lie aside and rest, no need to clean up anymore. Seeing my father and second brother digging a piece of dry land with their hands, Li Wen whispered.

"I'll watch you fishing, A Quan, you go to bed for a while. My father was worried that his son would smile alone."

Li Wen didn't say anything, took out the bait prepared in his pocket and sprinkled it on the water surface to prepare for a nest.

"Well, Xiaowen, what did you sprinkle? It smelled like a wine, Li Deyou asked in confusion."

"Dad, this is the bait I made, using the wine companion in your room, Li Wen smiled."

Li's father shook his head and said nothing, and quietly watched Li Wen's operation.

"You have to make a nest and sprinkle bait first. If you just hang an earthworm and wait for the fish to get hooked, you won't die slowly. This is my special bait. It has a strong smell. You can smell it when you sprinkle it in the water. Li Wendao."

"Oh, it turns out that there is so much knowledge to learn about fishing," Li's father nodded.

"This is all seen from the book!"

It was cool at night, and the fish swam to the water to find food. After a while, Li Wen had already seen fishes gather under the water through the moonlight.

The fish float wrapped in fluorescent tape in the dark night is very clear on the water surface. At this time, the fish float moves gently, which is the bait that the fish is eating on the hook.

When he got on the hook, he saw the fish float sinking and felt that there was a fish holding the hook. Li Wen immediately lifted the fishing rod. What a great guy with great strength. He almost pulled Li Wen into the water with a staggering stagnant, which scared him to stabilize immediately.

"Awen wants me to help you? My father said happily when he saw the fish take the bait."

"No dad, you need to use tricks to fish, otherwise it will be easy to escape," Li Wen said to his father while walking the fish.

After more than ten minutes of hard work, a big fish that was nearly twenty kilograms was pulled ashore by Li's father's net made of sacks.

At this time, Li Quan, who was sleeping on the side, was also awakened and was very excited to see the giant object taking the bait.

"Okay, dad, you and your second brother tie the fish's mouth with a rope and put it in the water so that the fish will not die easily."

In the next two hours, Li Wen caught more than a dozen fish, ranging from 20 kilograms to 20 kilograms, which made Li's father and Li Quan watching the side excited.

During this period, a large catfish with a height of more than 30 kilograms was also taken to the hook, but due to the strength, the fishing rod was almost broken, and finally the hook was broken and ran away.

In fact, the most valuable thing now is not the fish hook, but the fishing line with full pull. After all, the nylon fishing line has only been invented and used by Meiliguo for a short time, and it is rare to appear in China.

"Walking home, there are already a lot of these fish. If you catch them, you will have nothing to fill them. Li's father said with a smile." The two sacks were filled with fish, and the harvest of 200 kilograms made several people very happy.

Li's father carried a large sack, and the second sack was carried home by Li Wen and the others.

Li Wen flipped over the back wall and asked his second uncle to pull the fish from the wall. Second aunt and mother all rushed to help.

"Good guy, this is a net, so many fish, Uncle Second was shocked!"

"Put the fish into the sink first, otherwise they will die soon. It will not smell bad if you take them to the city tomorrow night, Li's father shouted."

Several people hurriedly carried the fish into the cellar. The cellar of Li Wen's family was not small and three meters in size. The sink dug by the second uncle and his two men were not big, but it was only 1.5 meters in square, but it was enough to put these fish.

The fish in the sack was poured into the water, and the fish tail slapped the water surface and splashed a splash of water.

There were only two or three pounds of fish floating on the water surface, while other big fish had strong vitality and jumping around in the water.

Wang Chunmei picked up the dead fish floating, looked at the big fish in the sink and looked at the face of joy, grabbed Li Wen and kissed him, "My son is so awesome, haha!"

"Okay, I'll go to bed, I'll have to go to work tomorrow, and I'll have to rush into the city at night tomorrow. I'm so sleepy. My father was relieved at this time and walked out of the cellar and stuttered."

"I'll go marinate the fish, otherwise it will break tomorrow. You can go to bed. My old lady is sleepy, and grandma Guo Xiuyun said as she walked, smiling towards the kitchen.

When she returned to the room, Li Wenshuan went to the door to return to the space. When she looked at the watch in the lounge, she found that it was already past two o'clock in the morning, but Li Wen had been sleeping in the afternoon these days, so she was not particularly sleepy.

One night fishing, he was sweating a lot and his body was sticky. He walked into the bathroom and took a shower, drank a box of milk and ate chicken legs, which was considered a solution to today's midnight snack.

Because she was afraid that she would not rest in the space after oversleeping, Li Wen, who returned to the room and lying on the kang, applied some ointment to her sore arms, which could relieve muscle pain.

His life these days made him feel very fulfilled, and he went to chat with Zhou Gong in a daze.

Dongdongdongdongdongdong! Awen got up to eat, and grandma's voice came in from outside and woke Li Wen up.

"Get up, Li Wen shouted hurriedly!"

This morning, the cornmeal and vegetables were still muddy, but there was no steamed bun anymore. Each person divided a small steamed sweet potato.

"Awen, after two days of rest, my health should be almost good. I'm going to work today. Today you and your mother and you went to the wheat farm to grind wheat, and my father said with a smile."

"Well, I know Dad, my body has recovered," Li Wen nodded with a smile.

At six o'clock in the morning, everyone had already arrived at the Maichang. At this time, many people were already sitting in the Maichang, chatting and spanking.

Ding, Ding, Ding! The gong of the work was ringing. Li Wen and his second aunt were pulling the mill today, while his mother and second sister Li Xia were turning the wheat straw. This year, the production team was afraid that the members would be lazy and they all worked together.

I worked hard in the morning, and the work I had been working halfway through the sun, so I was working more than half as the sun came out. At this time, I was cooler and easier to work.

At noon, the sun began to climb up to the top of your head, and everyone put on straw hats, stopping and stopping, otherwise it would be prone to heatstroke.

Lunch time was coming soon, and several people sat under the shade of the trees to cool off and waited for the little guys to deliver their meals.

"Oh! Young people are so strong that I don't have the strength to do your second aunt anymore. You kid are desperate to work. Pull your second aunt away, and second aunt Cui Yanzi wiped the sweat from her forehead and said."

Although the food at home was not good in the morning, Li Wen secretly took a few braised eggs from the space when he came out, so he was full and had a lot of energy.

Li Wen has eaten and drunk well these days, and he is a child again, and his body has recovered quickly. Now he can't feel weak except for losing weight.

My mother looked at Li Wen, whose face was blushed by the sun, and complained, "You kid is just a fool to work, so you fainted from heatstroke a few days ago. Don't be too anxious when working in the future. You can't get off work even if you finish your work in advance, and you will offend others, so do you understand the same way?"

Li Wen knew what his mother meant, nodded and agreed.

After a while, the little guys brought lunch. At noon this time, there were cornmeal soup and two cornmeal cakes for each person. It can be seen that there is really not much food at home. Some time ago, I also saw some gray noodles and gray cornmeal erkan steamed buns.

Gray noodles refer to the nine-one noodles. The wheat flour is ground into nine parts of flour and one part of bran. Because it contains a lot of bran, the flour produced is gray and the steamed bun noodles made turn gray.

However, Li Wen saw that his family's conditions were quite good. He saw that many villagers nearby ate sweet potato buns and potato cakes, and drank very thin corn batter.

After lunch, everyone rested and slept under the shade of the trees for about an hour, and the gong began to ring!

The temperature could reach 40℃ at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was so hot that it was so hot that Li Wen's body seemed to adapt to this temperature and did not feel too much discomfort. Second aunt and mother took turns to pull the mills, and he never changed his hand with his second sister, which made Second aunt praise Li Wen for growing up.

Ding, Ding, Ding! The gong was ringing in the afternoon. It was already past seven o'clock in the evening. The crowd in the wheat field heard the gongs and stopped their work one by one. The farm work of the day made everyone exhausted physically and mentally. After packing up the farm tools, they started to return home in groups of three or five.

As soon as Li Wen arrived at home, Li Shoucai was already waiting at the door of his house. When he saw everyone greeting him, "Second Aunt, Thirteenth Aunt, Awen and others are off work."

Mother and second aunt greeted her with a smile!

"Brother Shoucai, come in too. I'll take you the fishing line and hook. Li Wen nodded with a smile."

This is a five-meter fishing line and two fish hooks. I said in advance that my classmate gave me a clear price for this thing. The fishing line costs 1 meter and 30 cents and the fishing hook is 20 cents. Brother, be careful when fishing. The fishing line is very expensive, and if it breaks, it will cause a lot of losses.

"Well, don't worry, if I lose it, I will compensate you according to the price, and it won't make you embarrassed, Li Shoucai patted his chest and said."

"You lend the fishing line to Shoucai. What should others do if they ask you to lend it? Brother Li Wen doesn't want to lend the fishing line to others and ask."

"I just said that the fishing line is precious, and this thing needs to be used. Then they will be compensated if they lose it. Naturally, others dare not borrow it, Li Wen said lightly."

"Awen is right. If you don't borrow money, you will make enemies. Don't say anything. Hurry up and wash up and eat. After you finish eating, you should rest. There is still something to do in the evening, my father Li Deyou said."

I still ate wild vegetables and corn paste with sweet potatoes at night, but there was one more fish. This was the fish that died last night. The old lady took out one tonight and gave it to everyone to share it.

After dinner, my mother and second aunt cleaned the kitchen and everyone went back to the room to sleep because they had to get up in the middle of the night to rush to the city.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, everyone got up and went to the cellar.

"Try half of the fish tonight. The second brother, you and my eldest brother are walking in front and looking at the wind. A Quan and I are carrying fish behind us. A Wenwen, don't go, right? He said that and looked at Li Wen?"

"Dad, I'll go together, too. I want to learn how to trade with you, Li Wen said calmly."
