Because Xu Tongdao was angry, when the three of them had breakfast together, Xu Tonglu didn't dare to say anything about him going out to earn money.

He only lowered his head and drank porridge silently.

In other words, although his family has been having a difficult time recently, the dishes on the table these days are not bad, in addition to pickles, there are also braised fish, and shrimp paste made with chili sauce and small river shrimp.

These dishes are very good to drink porridge, and the brothers and sisters are all drinking in a hurry.

"How much did the river shrimp sell yesterday?"

When picking up vegetables, Xu Tongdao casually asked his sister.

"Oh, because we sell aquatic products wholesale, the price is cheaper, six yuan a catty, a total of 26 yuan, and the money is here. ”

Ge Yuzhu explained as she pulled money out of her trouser pocket.

After speaking, a few crumpled banknotes had been placed in Xu Tongdao's hand, Xu Tongdao glanced at it, mumbled, and grabbed it and stuffed it into his pocket.

Although it was only sold for 26 yuan, he was not disappointed, after all, those river shrimp yesterday were only harvested yesterday afternoon, in addition to those that were sold for money, they also had some small river shrimp left, not only did he keep some for his own family to make shrimp paste, but also gave half to Xu Tonglin.

And today he can go and put the shrimp stretch all day, and the harvest may be doubled.

In this era when ordinary laborers can only earn about twenty yuan a day of work, if he can earn forty or fifty yuan a day, it will be very good.

After stuffing the money into his pocket, Xu Tongdao casually asked again: "Did you make an appointment with others by the way, and all the river shrimp we get in the future will be wholesaled to him?"

Ge Yuzhu hurriedly replied: "Well, it's okay to make an appointment." ”

"Well, that's good!"

Xu Tongdao smiled with satisfaction.

......

After the meal, Xu Tongdao accompanied some bait, and then went out with his younger brother and sister with shrimp bandens, buckets and other things, and at present, the capital of his skewer business is still a little worse, so he plans to go to river shrimp every day during the day in the next few days.

Along the way, people in the village who saw them made jokes from time to time.

For example: "Huh, Xiaodao, Yuzhu, are you going to release shrimp? Are you going to go to Xihe to release it?"

"Hey, Yuzhu, do you still have fish to sell today?"

"Yo, you three are going to get shrimp, right? If you get it, can you sell me half a catty? ”

......

Along the way, Xu Tongdao rarely spoke, usually just a smile back, and most of the time, it was his sister Ge Yuzhu who responded to those villagers with a crisp voice.

When passing by the door of Ge Xiaoyu's house, Ge Xiaotian, who was squatting at the door and playing with marbles, saw the shrimp taper that Xu Tongdao was carrying, and his eyes immediately lit up.

Ge Xiaotian, who has not had a lot of brains since he was a child, has an extremely enthusiastic personality and is quite curious, no, he saw Xu Tongdao's shrimp tightness, he immediately got up and trotted over, and came to Xu Tongdao's side with great interest, and asked curiously: "Xiaodao, Xiaodao, are you going to put the shrimp bandage? Where are you going? Can you take me with me? I'll help you, okay?"

Because the two families live relatively close, because of Ge Xiaotian's enthusiastic personality, and because Xu Tongdao used to be interesting to his sister Ge Xiaoyu, Xu Tongdao's relationship with Ge Xiaotian has always been very good.

Even now, when Xu Tongdao came back from rebirth and saw the enthusiastic Ge Xiaotian again, he still smiled and nodded: "Okay, then you can come together!"

Maybe people with deep thoughts like people with simple thoughts! Xu Tongdao saw the enthusiastic and simple Ge Xiaotian, and his mood became inexplicably relaxed.

Along the way, Ge Xiaotian's mouth barely stopped, asking this for a while, asking where for a while, for example, he blinked curiously and asked Xu Tongdao if he really didn't plan to go to high school?

For example, he asked Xu Tongdao if it was very dangerous when Xu Tonglin fell into the water the night before yesterday......

successfully made all the brothers and sisters laugh at Xu Tongdao.

Not long after, several of them came to the place where the shrimp bandages were put yesterday, and then the two of them cooperated to put the shrimp bandages, and about half an hour later, Xu Tonglin also came over like yesterday.

More than a dozen shrimp were stretched under the operation of five people, and the harvest was gratifying, and every time he saw the big river shrimp caught, Ge Xiaotian shouted happily.

In the bucket brought by Xu Tongdao, there were more and more large and small river shrimps, so gradually, Xu Tongdao also had more smiles on his face.

At about 10 o'clock in the morning, a hang-up boat with a diesel engine installed suddenly sailed through the middle of the river, this is a black canopy wooden boat, Xu Tongdao, who grew up by the West River, is no stranger to them, and they have all sat before.

In these years, the roads in the countryside are not easy to walk, they are all dirt roads, not wide and uneven, especially on rainy days, and countless deep footprints have been stepped on on the muddy road, so it is even more difficult to walk.

And from them to the county seat, there are more than 20 miles of road, like the recent weather that is always raining, if you want to walk to the county seat, you can exhaust people to death halfway.

Fortunately, the West River on the edge of their village is wide and deep, and it also goes straight to the wharf of D County.

So, hanging the diesel engine, driven by the propeller of the black canopy wooden boat came into being, in this West River to carry people and goods, take this boat to the county seat, fast and stable, along the way can also enjoy the scenery on both sides of the river, deeply loved by many children.

For example, Xu Tongdao liked to take this wooden boat with his mother to the county seat when he was a child, he really liked to take this boat, every time he followed his mother to the county seat, he didn't want anything, he was hungry, his mother asked him what he wanted to eat, and he always only needed a bowl of noodles.

But more than ten years before his rebirth, this kind of black canopy wooden boat in the West River was almost extinct.

Because at that time, the road from their village to the county seat had been repaired, and the whole process was a flat and clean cement road, at that time, people had preferred to take the bus to the county seat, fast and cheap, and gradually, this kind of boat was no longer seen in the river.

So seeing such a boat passing by the river at this time, Xu Tongdao smiled with emotion, and he missed the feeling of taking this kind of boat with his mother to the county seat when he was a child.

"Huh, Cao Xin, Cao Xin, Cao Xin!!You're here again......"

Xu Tongdao suddenly heard Ge Xiaotian beside him yelling at the black canopy wooden boat.

Cao Xin?

He was not unfamiliar with this name, the moment he heard this name, Xu Tongdao thought of a girl with a petite figure, delicate facial features, and two deep dimples on her cheeks when she smiled, and he still remembered that this girl's skin was particularly white, and it was the whitest girl he had ever seen before he went out to work before he was reborn.

Not one of them!

And this girl Cao Xin ...... is the niece of Xu Weizu's wife Cao Xiaomei.

The morning before yesterday, when he sold black fish and turtles to Xu Weizu, when he saw Xu Weizu's wife Cao Xiaomei, he also thought of her niece Cao Xin.

I didn't expect her to come today?

Xu Tongdao squinted slightly, followed Ge Xiaotian's line of sight, and sure enough, he saw Cao Xin, who was wearing a black dress, standing on the bow of the wooden boat, her skin looked fairer and fairer against the background of the black dress, looking at her, Xu Tongdao subconsciously turned his head and glanced at his sister Ge Yuzhu.

One is dazzlingly white, the other is shiny black, and they are simply two extremes.
