Chapter 90: The troubled child
Li Changle looked at it for a while and thought about his eldest son who had only grown up to listen to him. "Every day he is like a little adult. I am worried that he thinks too much and will not grow taller in the future." Chen Yongwei said with a smile: "What's the good thing? I’m worried, my grandma said I’m taller than my dad, Xiaohai will definitely be taller than you when she grows up.”
Ge Changfa: "That's right, I think you have nothing to worry about. You are worried about the lack of sun in June. Xiaohai's leg bones are so long, and I will definitely be taller than you in the future."
Li Changle couldn't tell the two of them that he had seen with his own eyes in his previous life that he was not as tall as him, so he thought about buying more things for his eldest son to help the children grow taller.
A few young people were fishing in front, and the three adults gave instructions from time to time. They guarded the bamboo poles for catching crayfish, picked up the crayfish here and bit the bait again, and were very busy. Until the two they brought were The bucket was filled to the brim, and the crayfish in the bucket kept crawling out of the bucket with claws and claws. Only then did the three of them stop.
Li Changle took out his net bag to cover the crawling crayfish, and he and Chen Yongwei carried the bucket and placed it on the reed swamp to prevent the crayfish from being sunburned to death. Ge Changfa put away the bamboo pole and said with a smile: "It's still fun to catch crayfish. You can catch one or twenty pounds in a few hours."
Li Changle thought the same thing, "Go back and pick out a few pounds of fat ones, add more ginger and garlic, pick a few peppers, add more oil and stir-fry, it will taste good." "You can pick as much as you want."
"Brother, please pick some more. My grandma can't bear to add oil. The fried crayfish is not delicious at all." "Okay, I'll pick some more, and grandma, you can come and eat too."
"What's wrong with crayfish? If you want to eat them, just eat big lobsters from the sea." "It's quite mouthy!"
"That's right, if people at the beach want to eat, they can eat seafood!" Ge Changfa said, taking out the fishing rod for fishing eels and sharing it between the two of them. "I will come to collect the eels tomorrow morning, and I will send some to you then."
"OK!"
The hook used to catch eel is a large fishing hook. It is tied with a fishing line and one end is tied to a small wooden stick. Thread earthworms on the fishhook. Find an eel hole next to the ditch or rice field, and insert an eel hole at the entrance of the hole. Roots, and just harvest eels the next day.
Li Changle and the other two people put all the fishing hooks in and returned to the ditch. They looked at the children in the ditch who looked like mud monkeys with laughter and tears. Li Xiaozhou dragged a net bag filled with small fish and shrimps and showed it to him, "Abba, Look, we caught a lot of fish!"
Li Changle wiped the mud on his face and said to Li Xiaoyang and others: "Okay, one or two of them don't mind the sun." Li Xiaobo held two three-finger-wide crucian carp in his hands, "Third uncle, look , the little crucian carp we caught!"
"Abba (third uncle), we also caught a few crabs with paste." Li Xiaohai, Li Xiaotao carried two crabs tied with straw ropes in one hand and climbed up from the ditch. Li Changle took them He pinched it and said, "It's not bad. I can have a meal when I go back."
"Uncle Third, there are many crab holes in the ditch. Please take us to catch crabs at night." Li Xiaoyang, whose head and face were covered with mud, also got up. Li Changle thought of the overwhelming mosquitoes beside the pond and ditch at night. , "Is it enough that my balls hurt?"
Li Xiaoyang curled his lips, "Then why are you here now?"
"I'm happy!" Li Changle pointed to the mud on his head and face, as well as the dirt on his clothes, "If you don't get beaten when you go back like this, I'll take your last name!" "Mom, you're so dirty!" Li Xiaoyang hurriedly said I ran to the ditch to wash myself, not caring that the mud from the wash made my clothes black.
Li Changle looked at him and shook his head, "Let's go! Go back."
The group of people headed back with a few clay monkeys. When they entered the village, smoke was already curling up from the cooking pots. They went to Gechang Fajia first, put down their buckets, and squatted down to pick lobsters.
Li Xiaoyang asked several people carefully and said that he had to go home to get money before buying them prizes. He was impatient to wait for them, so he left Li Xiaozhou and went home with the small fish and shrimps in the bucket. Ge Changfa took a wooden basin and came out. , "Ale, the ones left behind are all for feeding the ducks anyway. You can pick some more and go back and have some wine."
Li Changle slapped away Li Xiaozhou who was rushing to catch the lobster, "You said, if you want to eat, just eat the big lobsters in the sea. I just pick some and it will be enough for a meal." "I like hearing this, hurry up and buy it." I bought a big lobster and bought me a drink."
"You bring old wine, we bring lobster."
"Old wine is not that simple. I still have a vat of wine made last year!"
After hearing this, Li Changle looked at him with shining eyes, "Hurry up, find a wine flask and fill it up for me." "Then you wait." Ge Changfa stood up and walked towards the house.
After Li Changle and Chen Yongwei picked the lobsters, Ge Changfa came out with a pot of old wine, "Just drink it and drink it again." "I'm still polite to you!"
Li Changle took the wine bottle, took his youngest son, and walked back with Chen Yongwei. When they walked to the alley outside his house, they happened to meet Accountant Chen.
"Hey, Ah Le, where did you go to play with your clay monkey?"
Li Changle smiled and said, "We've gone fishing for lobsters. Where do you plan to go, Uncle A Dong?"
Accountant Chen glanced at the three of them, chuckled, and said to Li Changle: "Wang Mazi's family has leased four hundred acres of tidal flat land, and they also roped in A Biao to lease two hundred acres."
Li Changle smiled and said, "Uncle A Dong, how many acres does your family own?"
Chen Huiji raised a finger and said, "One hundred acres! It's not easy to make money. It's better to learn the skills first and then talk about it later."
After hearing this, Li Changle understood what he meant and said with a smile: "When I make money, I will try to cover dozens of acres. Then I will come to you to learn skills. Don't hide your secrets!" Accountant Chen pointed him out. After a few moments, he said with a smile: "You're such a sneaky guy!"
"I'm a good comrade and a good member." Li Changle said, thinking about the rewards, "Uncle A Dong, when will our brother's prizes come?" Accountant Chen said with a smile: "Captain Zhou will go back to report, and we have to wait for the boss. After verification and approval, it will take another ten days and a half to send it out." Li Changle shook his head in disgust, "The work efficiency is really slow. In my opinion, they should strike while the iron is hot and stimulate everyone's enthusiasm."
"You guy, you always talk in the same way." Accountant Chen smiled and patted his shoulder, "I'll let you know after I tell you." "Thank you for your age."
After Li Changle and Chen Yongwei broke up, they took their young son home. When they saw Li Xiaoyang and Li Xiaotao standing upright under the eaves, they smiled unkindly. "Hey, I haven't eaten the soda yet, let's eat fried bamboo shoots first." Is the meat sliced?"
Sister-in-law Li came out of the house when she heard the sound, "I just washed a big basin in the morning, and before it got dark, I was covered in mud. I am a teenager, not even a child of several years old."
Li Xiaoyang said unconvinced: "Xiao Bo, Xiao Hai are also dirty, why didn't Aunt tell them? You are the only one who demands more every time!"
"You are so stubborn!" Sister-in-law Li was so angry that she picked up a piece of bamboo and brushed it twice on the buttocks of the two brothers, "Eat firewood, the younger ones, which one is not more obedient than you..." "Oh~ Grandma, I am Mom is going to beat someone to death, oh... oh..." Li Xiaotao covered his buttocks and ran towards the house of Li's father and mother.
"If you don't fight, you won't be successful. Your mother-in-law is busy all day long and has to wash your clothes. Look at your clothes. I think it will take a few more beatings before you remember." Father Li scolded in the room. road.
Mother Li came out and grabbed him. She raised her hand high and lowered it gently, "Hurry up and change your clothes and wash off the mud on your head." Among the children in the family, the two elders were the most naughty and could not be beaten. The one who suffered the most.
Li Xiaotao hid behind his grandma and looked at his eldest brother who turned around and hid behind Li Changle. He was lucky to have escaped. "I won't go, my grandma is holding bamboo pieces!" Li's mother looked at her eldest grandson who was being beaten outside and felt distressed. The corners of his mouth twitched, "Just hit it twice..."
"Okay!" Father Li said to Mother Li: "Afang, please teach your children not to talk too much. The children are spoiled. Will you help them raise them in the future?" "I..." Mother Li sighed and turned around. Entering the house, out of sight, out of mind.
"My brother was beaten again." Li Xiaohai and others ran out of the house, and they all crowded at the door to watch the boss being beaten. Li Xiaoqing shook his head, "Why is my brother so stupid, every time he provokes my mother-in-law to beat him?"
Li Xiaobo: "Brother, why don't you run away?"
Li Xiaohai nodded, "That's right, run away and hide behind my father, so my aunt won't hit him."
"Uncle, help me..." Li Xiaoyang heard the instructions and hurriedly ran behind Li Changle and moved left and right to avoid Mrs. Li's fried meat with bamboo slices. Sister-in-law Li took the bamboo slices, pointed at him and said: "Point it out honestly, I won't fight. You, let me catch you..."
"Just a little bit, I'm not that stupid!" Li Xiaoyang made a face at her as if she was trying to kill him.
"Do you think that if you hide behind your third uncle, I won't be able to hit you?" Sister-in-law Li raised a piece of bamboo to give him a cold blow and hit him. "Mother~" Li Xiaoyang ducked and rushed. She smiled proudly, "Hehe, it didn't hit!"
Sister-in-law Li took a deep breath and tried her best to suppress the sudden anger, "How long can I hide you?" Zhou Ruonan: "Xiaoyang, be obedient and come out and admit your mistake to your mother-in-law!"
Li Xiaoyang: "I'm not wrong. Xiaohai and Xiaotao also went there. Auntie, why didn't you beat them?" Li Xiaohai: "Brother, we all admitted our mistake. You talk back every time. I'm the uncle." Hit you."
"Look, he has the nerve to say that every time he says I hit him, why don't he think about how irritating his words are." Sister-in-law Li said that the circles under her eyes were red.
A person is at home taking care of the fields, and also has to scour the sea and weave nets to earn money for the family. The older the children are, the more disobedient they become. Sometimes I really want to find a place where no one is and cry. "Xiaoyang, look, you are making your mother-in-law angry. Cried..."
Li Xiaoyang turned his head and glanced, frowning, "I'm not angry with her..."
"Shut up!" Li Changle looked at Li Xiaoyang and said angrily, "If you dare to talk back again, I don't need to beat you. I'll deal with you first!" "..." Seeing Li Changle's anger, Li Xiaoyang lowered his head and dared to talk back. .
