Chapter 6 Fishing
After sleeping on his stomach for a while, Li Wen still felt panicked. He got up, went to the door, bolted the door, and returned to the warehouse.
In his previous life, he often moved goods in a warehouse, and bumps and bumps were inevitable, so Li Wen always kept a variety of trauma ointments in case of emergencies.
Li Wen took out the trauma ointment from the home medicine box and smeared it on his back. A chill came over his back. This was because the mint contained in the ointment could relieve pain and disinfect it.
Seeing that the time was only nine o'clock in the evening, which was still early, Li Wen walked to the cargo area, took out a few ham sausages and bread and returned to the lounge to eat.
In fact, Li Wen was not full from the porridge at night, and the nutrition was limited, so he had to go back to the warehouse to replenish it. After eating, he drank a bottle of yogurt, and Li Wen was completely full.
I picked up my phone and looked at it. I couldn't access the Internet, so I could only use the basic functions. Fortunately, Li Wen had downloaded hundreds of novels in the files on his phone, just in case of emergencies. The old bookworm's ration was indispensable.
After reading for a while, he felt sleepy. His body had not recovered yet. He went to sleep. Taking good care of his body can help him fight better. After setting the alarm clock, Li Wen turned over and fell asleep.
The alarm bell rang at five o'clock in the morning on time, and Li Wen hurried back to the room.
By this time, it was already dark outside the house, and my parents and grandma had already gotten up to pack and prepare for work.
In his previous life, due to the development of the Internet, people were all mobile phone users. He had never gone to bed before twelve o'clock. When he woke up early this morning, he felt refreshed and not sleepy anymore, so he did not sleep again.
I opened the door and saw my father and second uncle polishing sickles. I said hello, "Dad, you didn't even call me when you got up!"
"Hi! It's still early in the day. You guys are growing up and taking a nap. I'm calling you when the meal is ready. And Awen, didn't I ask you to rest for a day today? Why did you get up so early? Father Li said.
"Hey, Dad, I'm used to getting up early for school. Besides, I slept all afternoon yesterday and didn't sleep early. I woke up very early this morning. What do you want me to do?"
"Well, I see you look pretty good. Now, there are your brother's and his others' scythes over there, so you can help them sharpen them, and be careful with your hands," Li's father looked at Li Wendao.
Okay! In his last life, Li Wen also sharpened kitchen knives, scissors, and sickles at home, so he was familiar with the road. He walked to his father and picked up a piece of bluestone, dipped it in water and tilted the blade to sharpen it.
Isn't it good? It's polished in a decent way, not bad, it looks like a farmer, the second uncle said with a smile.
Hehe, didn’t I learn this from you two? Li Wen touched his head and said with a smile.
"Awen told your brother and the others to get up and get down to the floor as soon as they finish eating, otherwise their work points will be deducted if they are late," his mother, Wang Chunmei, came out of the kitchen and said.
After sharpening a sickle, Li Wen stood up, stretched and walked towards the room. After a while, little guys came out rubbing their eyes and pouting.
After everyone had washed up, breakfast consisted of wild vegetables and cornmeal paste, and the only dish was a pickle, each of whom had a steamed bun.
After dinner, the adults have already set off to work one after another. It is cooler to work in the morning and you can earn more work points.
After dawdling at home for a while, under the urging of grandma, the little ones also carried bamboo baskets and went to the fields.
Today, all the little ones went out to pick wheat. It is easier to earn work points during busy farming periods. The wheat picked is calculated according to the weight of the work points. It is suitable for children to do it. They can pick it up faster than adults because of their weak waists.
There are only three grandma Li Wen and little Lijuan left at home.
"Po! Xiaojuan and I are going out for a walk, and if there is any pigweed, we can get some pigweed." Li Wen raised his backpack and shouted to his grandmother Guo Xiuyun.
"Didn't I tell you to rest? Can your body handle it?" the old lady shouted as she was cleaning up the kitchen.
Okay, hunting hogweed is not a heavy job, and the weather is cooler in the morning, so I went out for a walk to get some fresh air.
"Then go ahead and come back early when the sun is shining!"
"Let's go, Brother Xiaojuan will take you out to play," Li Wen pulled Xiao Lijuan out of the house with a backpack on his back.
Let's go!
Walking out of the gate, half of the village comes into view. The village where Li Wen lives is called Sanxing Village. All the surnames in the village are Li, passed down from one ancestor. The village is divided into two rows, front and back, one row is about 200 meters long, and the whole village is about 1,000 meters long.
The people are all in a big village.
Most of the buildings in the village are mud houses like Li Yong's, and a few are mud and brick mixed houses. They are families with workers and troops in the city. Only one brick house belongs to the original landlord, but after liberation the whole family ran away.
It was used as a village office, and now it is used as a production team.
There is no pollution in the air now. When I wake up in the morning, the air is particularly fresh, mixed with the smell of wheat. This is because wheat is being ground in the brigade field.
Brother, where should we go to play? Xiao Lijuan took Li Wen's hand and raised her head and asked?
"Let's go, I'll take you fishing in the river," Li Wen said with a smile!
"But mom doesn't let us play in the water. If we find out, we will be spanked," Li Juan frowned and covered her butt.
The little guy just went to the village reservoir with his friends in the village some time ago, and was caught and beaten by his mother Wang Chunmei. Now he is a little scared.
Children at this time were very wild and had poor awareness of prevention. Every few years, a child would fall into the water in the village reservoir.
Don't worry, we won't go into the water. My brother has fishing business to do. Li Yong took out the fishing line and fishhook in his pocket and flashed them.
Wow, brother, where did you get the fishhook and fishing line? In our village, the village chief’s grandpa’s family is the only one who has it, or he secretly burned it with Aunt Hua’s sewing needle.
Shhh! Don't be too loud, it won't be good if others hear you. This was given to me by a classmate.
Li Wen loved fishing in his previous life, so there were a lot of fishing gear in the warehouse. Because the fishing rod was too eye-catching, he only took out a roll of fishing line and a fishhook.
Let's go. Li Juan didn't need Li Wen to take her with her now, and ran directly towards the reservoir outside the village.
Walking all the way from the village, I didn't meet an adult. Most of them were children under five or six years old playing. Some wanted to follow Li Juan after seeing her, but Li Wen drove them back.
Less than two miles out of the village, we descended a slope and a reservoir came into view. The reservoir in the village was not small, covering an area of about fifty acres. It was a fork of a large river and was usually used to irrigate farmland in the village.
Although the temperature is lower in the summer morning, it is still sultry. The breeze blows in the reservoir, causing ripples on the water. The temperature drops instantly, which makes people feel comfortable.
At this time, there were already several children under the reservoir cutting pigweed on the shore, picking up snails and fishing for loaches in the reeds near the shallow water.
Li Wen had been observing and searching since the reservoir, and finally found a thin twig more than two meters long on the slope of the bank and broke it off.
A small tree more than two meters long can barely make a fishing rod. Moreover, there is water in the living tree, and the bark is very tough, so it is not easy to break when fishing.
After tying up the fishing line and hook, and using a small hollow wooden strip as a float, a fishing rod was ready. When little Li Juan saw it, she clapped her hands and cheered, attracting children on the side of the reservoir to look sideways.
Li Wen found a bank extending deep into the reservoir and leveled the land in preparation for fishing.
He took out the prepared bait and spread it into the reservoir to create a nest. He soaked cornmeal and corn kernels in wine in the morning. The bait was good and the smell was sufficient.
The weather was cool in the early morning and the water surface temperature was not high. The fish swam up to breathe. In just a few minutes, the fish float started to move.
"Wow! Brother, the little wooden stick is moving. It's moving. There's a fish on the hook. Come on, pull it up quickly." Li Juan, the little girl squatting next to her, shouted excitedly after seeing it. The children mowing the grass on the shore also started to shout.
Run over and watch.
Seeing the little girl yelling, Li Wen had a headache. Fishing is a quiet and patient job, and you can't yell. He felt in his pocket and took out a few candies.
"Little sister, I'll give you something to eat. Come on, open your mouth," Li Wen said with a smile.
Little Li Juan opened her mouth obediently, and Li Wen stuffed a candy into it!
Wow, what is so sweet? Is it candy? Little Li Juan tasted it and shouted in surprise.
Oops, the candy fell out of his mouth because he was so excited. The little guy quickly picked it up, looked at it, stuffed it into his mouth, and spit out the dirt stuck to the fruit candy.
Li Wen was very happy when he saw it, this little guy was so greedy.
Brother, where did you get the fruit candy? It’s so sweet. I’ve never tasted anything so sweet. It’s sweeter than honey water. The little guy was afraid that the candy would fall out, so he covered his mouth and said with a smile.
This is what my brother gave me when I was helping my classmates review their homework. I brought it back to you to eat!
Brother, you are so kind, Xiao Lijuan is smiling!
At this time, all the children who were mowing grass on the shore ran over. When Li Wen took a look, several little guys were staring straight at his fishing rod and smiled.
Aqiang, you came to cut the grass so early. Li Wen saw that one of the little boys was a neighbor's child. The boy's name was Li Qiang. He was eight years old. He had bare feet and a long nose.
"Brother Wenzi, I came looking for the snails early, but I came late and others couldn't find them," the little boy said with a smile as he sniffed and sniffed.
Brother Wenzi, you don't need this fishing rod anymore. Can you lend it to me? I want to fish for food too. This little guy is so smart.
Haha! Li Wen smiled and said, "I dare not give this to you. This is my classmate's fishing line and hook. They cost only a dollar, and you are too young and can easily be pulled into the reservoir by the fish. It will be over by then."
"One dollar, oh my god, I can't afford it," the little guy opened his mouth wide and exclaimed!
"I haven't eaten meat for a long time. Can you give me some of the small fish that Brother Wenzi will catch when he arrives? Please, I will help you with the work." The little guy is very good at it.
Looking at the skinny little guy, Li Wen didn't refuse. He looked at the five or six children in front of him and took out candies for Li Juan. Xiaojuan, please share with a few brothers and sisters.
Several children were shocked. They were actually candies wrapped in colorful paper!
Brother, why are you giving them food? I won’t give it to them, Xiao Li Juan couldn’t bear to say!
After touching the little guy's head, Li Wen stuffed two more pills into the little guy's pocket and whispered: "These two are yours. You share the others with your brothers and sisters. Don't you usually play together? Good friends want
Know how to share!" Brother will give it to you when you finish eating.
"Oh well!"
The little guy still reluctantly agreed.
The little guys couldn't wait, and hurriedly took the candies, opened the packages and stuffed them into their mouths. For a moment, happy expressions appeared on their faces.
"Brother Wenzi, your candies are so delicious that I can't even describe them. They taste better than meat after all," Aqiang said flatteringly!
After eating the candy, I carefully flattened the colorful candy wrappers one by one and put them away. I can show off such beautiful candy wrappers when I go home.
