Chapter 16
The three of them were a little confused and anxious for a moment. This was probably the first time they had encountered such a thing and they didn't know how to deal with it.
"Uncle Ma, it's the first time for the three of them to come here. They came from the city. They didn't know that this lake was contracted by you. If they knew, they would definitely not fish here. This time, it's my fault. I didn't remind them." Su Xing left.
passed.
Su Xing has been fishing here these days, greeted Ma Guoqiang several times, and even gave Ma Guoqiang a pack of cigarettes.
After all, the lake is contracted by Ma Guoqiang. Although he doesn't care about fishing for lobsters in the lake and won't chase people away, it would be better to be more polite and say hello every time he sees Ma Guoqiang wake up.
"It's so hard for Uncle Ma to come out on such a hot day."
"Uncle Ma, come up and have a drink of water and rest for a while."
"You came out so early. Uncle Ma said I have two buns here. You can take them to fill your stomach."
It’s not surprising that you are polite to many people. This saying of our ancestors still makes sense. As long as you are polite and considerate to others, they will definitely feel your kindness and will naturally greet you with a smile.
In fact, Ma Guoqiang is also very good at waking up.
"Do you know the three of them?" Ma Guoqiang smiled after hearing Su Xing's words, "How was your day? How many lobsters did you catch?"
"No, it's much less than before. There are too many people fishing, and lobsters have become extinct. From morning to night, even the grandson of lobsters has been caught. How can we catch more." Su Xing said with a smile,
"Uncle Ma, how about I buy the fish they caught? Calculate how much it costs and I'll give it to you."
"Forget it, just take back the few fish you caught and eat them, and help me keep an eye on them." Ma Guoqiang gave Su Xing the net bag in his hand.
There were four or five crucian carp and one grass carp. Su Xing weighed it and took out 20 yuan and gave it to Su Guoqiang: "Uncle Ma, take this money. I made some money fishing for lobsters. I can't ask for your fish in vain. These fish must be
Not only is it 20 yuan, but I haven’t eaten fish at home for a long time, so I can save money on going to town to buy it.”
"I said I don't need money and I'll give it to you, so I'll give it to you. Don't get these for me. You can keep the money yourself." Ma Guoqiang didn't accept Su Xing's money. He was a little annoyed and wandered away.
Su Xing put the money back in his pocket, thinking about buying some more breakfast tomorrow morning, and bringing one to Ma Guoqiang. He turned around and said to Chen Jin and the others: "If you want to fish, find a place to fish in the river. There are also some in the river."
Lots of fish.”
Su Xing returned the fish pocket to the three of them.
"Thank you." The more mature boy among the three expressed his gratitude to Su Xing.
"It's nothing. Uncle Ma is actually quite easy to talk to. Just explain it to him a little. You can continue fishing." Su Xing waved his hand carelessly and ran to Su Hao's side.
In August, the sun was very hot and scorching, the air was a little distorted, the sun-dried soil was emitting smoke, and even the layer of lake water on the surface was a bit hot to the touch.
After giving up for a while, Su Hao took off his clothes, put on a pair of underpants and jumped into the lake to dissipate the heat from his body. Su Hao also took off his clothes and jumped in.
On such a hot day, and the lake water is so clear, it would be a waste not to take a swim or take a bath.
A few years later, many ponds were dug around the lake. After the villagers started raising fish in droves, the quality of the water changed and it smelled bad. No one wanted to take a bath, let alone drink it.
After a fierce plunge, Su Xing swam more than ten meters away in one breath. When he reached the center of the lake, he stepped on the water. The water quality here was better. Su Xing rubbed the sweat on his body and glanced at the shore. He found that at some point, Dai
The girl in the sun hat actually stood on the shore, watching him swim.
Su Xing leaned up and swam over: "Would you like to come down and play? The water here is not deep, so there will be no problem."
The girl seemed to be interested in moving, but she thought of something and did not go down. She shook her head and walked away, but she did not go far, but took a detour to a shallow beach by the lake.
There are more sand and rocks here, like a beach, and the lake is crystal clear. From time to time, you can see some small fish waving their tails, pausing for a moment, and then suddenly darting out.
The girl took some water, washed her face, carefully took off her shoes, took off her socks, rolled up her trouser legs to her knees, dropped her delicate white ankles into the lake, and walked slowly along the shallows.
Su Xing seemed to have stepped on something under his feet. He stopped without moving his feet. He slowly immersed his body in the water. He moved his hands down his feet and picked up the thing he stepped on. It was a turtle not much bigger than an orange.
.
The girl wearing a sun hat looked over. Su Xing simply swam over and waved the turtle in the water: "If you want it, I'll give it to you."
The girl hesitated for a while and didn't dare to answer.
I woke up and went ashore, picked up an ice cup, washed it in the water, filled it with some water, grabbed a handful of sand in it, stuffed the turtle into it, and handed it to the girl.
The girl continued, staring at the turtle in the ice cup with interest.
After cooling off for a while, he woke up and went ashore, and went back with Su Hao.
During dinner in the evening, Wang Chunlan came out of the room and panicked: "There was a thief at home."
"What's wrong? Why was the house robbed? Is there anything missing?" Su Xing was a little surprised. There were always people at home, and the village was still some distance away from the provincial road, so the probability of being robbed was not high.
Although most of the people in the village are not rich, there are very few cases of petty theft. At most, they pick up a bowl of vegetables when passing by the vegetable field. I have never heard of anyone entering a house and stealing anything directly.
"The thousand yuan I hid in the house disappeared. After you gave me the money that day, I wrapped it tightly in a plastic bag and hid it in the cupboard, weighed down with clothes. When I looked for it just now,
Gone." Wang Chunlan said, "My home must have been robbed."
"Could it be that I didn't see it hidden in some clothes? If I look again, it might be inside. There are always people in the house. How could there be a thief?" Su Xing said.
"I've just looked through it, and there's nothing there. I'll go look for it again." Wang Chunlan was worried and felt that she hadn't looked carefully enough, so she wanted to look through it again.
"What are you looking for? Let's eat first." Su Changmin brought the dishes out from the kitchen and helped Wang Chunlan fill a bowl of rice.
The sun came out in the west.
Su Xing glanced at Su Changmin strangely. He could actually help others with serving food. In the past, he had always eaten by himself without caring about anything. Occasionally, when he wanted to eat something, he would do it only when he had some temperament, even the bowl.
I didn’t wash it. It was a bit unusual today, and I actually took the initiative to help Wang Chunlan with the rice.
