Chapter 48: Big Fish
Bian Rui returned to the village at dawn, and after washing up, he came to the small courtyard where his parents lived.
As soon as he leaned into the courtyard door, he heard a stranger talking in the courtyard, and when he entered the courtyard, he found Zhu Tongqiang sitting on the mazah, chatting with Bian Rui's father while helping with the work.
Bian Rui glanced at Zhu Tongqiang and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhu, you are really free, why did you come to our small village again?"
Zhu Tongqiang's careful thoughts, in Bianjia Village, that is Sima Zhao's heart - everyone knows it on the road. The children in the village all know that this person wants to dump the valuable things in the village, so no matter what he wants, others will not sell it.
Zhu Tongqiang's face is thick enough, if his face is thin, he can't do the work of collecting cultural relics, this job is to put it bluntly, he buys low and sells high with his eyesight, just at the time of reform and opening up, the people's hearts are simple and good. Now all of them are thieves, not to mention those who sell fakes, there are professional counterfeiters, and there are professional scammers, not only ordinary people, but also many experts who have suffered losses at the hands of scammers, not to mention that there are experts who are liars themselves.
"Take a look around, take a look, whether you receive something or not, you can also relax. Or is the air in your mountains good, no wonder many people in the nearby villages live a long life......" Zhu Tongqiang and Bian Rui began to talk nonsense.
The elders don't like Zhu Tongqiang too much, but the last time they returned things was very simple, although they also wanted Bian Rui's four Eight Immortals, but after all, there was no lion to open his mouth, and the older generation was particular about people, and it was not good to turn their faces directly.
Zhu Tongqiang took advantage of this, and came over from time to time with a cheeky face, and didn't care if others gave him a good face, anyway, he smiled at everyone he saw, and after a few trips, even young people were embarrassed to blow their beards and stare at him again, but everyone's wariness of him was still not eliminated.
"It's time to eat, Xiao Zhu, eat at home?" Bian Rui's mother walked out of the house at this time.
Zhu Tongqiang immediately put down the work in his hand when he heard this, clapped his hands and stood up: "No need, my food over there is fine, you can eat."
Where else can Zhu Tongqiang live when he comes to the village, he naturally lives in Bian Seventeen's house, Bian Seventeen's house is at the entrance of the village, because he wanders around all day, so his house is not big, it is an open room, commonly known as a big tile house, fortunately, there is no problem at all for two people to live in the house.
Waiting for Zhu Tongqiang to go out, Bian Rui asked, "Dad, when did he come over?"
"It's been two days since I came, and I've been spending it in our house," Bian Rui's father said with a smile, he was not stupid, and he naturally saw that this person who was going around his house all day long, it must be the idea of continuing to play the old piano in his son's hand.
Bian Rui's father and ancestors all care about how much the piano is worth, whether it is sold or given to Bian Rui's little daughter, they have no opinion, so they don't care how much the piano can be sold for. In fact, in the hearts of their older generations, a musical instrument has reached the top, two or three hundred thousand.
"Do you still want to enter my yard?" Bian Rui said with a smile.
"I think about it, but every night I take rhubarb to sleep, your mother and your grandmother are over there to help you take care of the vegetable garden, plus a group of children like to follow him like a thief when they have nothing to do, where does he have a chance," Bian Rui's father said.
Bian Rui nodded and smiled: "I want to take a strict look at him, this old boy is a thief."
"How about your trip into the mountains to harvest?" Bian Rui's grandfather opened his mouth to ask his grandson at this time.
Bian Rui sighed: "I didn't pick anything myself, but I still met Zhao Dayou from Linshan Village, so I bought some mountain goods from him."
"I said let me go with you, but you just don't listen, it's not that you are running the mountain now, what can you pick when you go into the mountain, that is, your relatives will tell you to pick a little, and ordinary people will pay attention to you," Bian Rui's father said.
Bian Rui said: "Then next time I will definitely go with my grandfather!"
"Zhao Dayou, whose child?" Bian Rui's grandfather asked casually.
Bian Rui saw that his father's face was also puzzled, so he opened his mouth and said, "He said that he is a classmate of yours and a ...... of the same grade."
"Oh, it's him!" Bian Rui's father patted his knee lightly, and then explained to Bian Rui's grandfather.
Bian Rui's grandfather was stunned for a moment and sighed: "Alas, he is a person with a hard life!"
Bian Rui listened to his grandfather and father talk about Zhao Dayou, and then he knew that this Zhao Dayou's experience was quite legendary, he was not originally from Linshan Village, he was asked to go to Linshan Village, and was adopted by the old bachelor surnamed Zhao, so he followed the surname Zhao, when he was ten years old, the old bachelor died, and he lived in Linshan Village alone, and finally married his daughter-in-law with a lot of strength and gave birth to a baby or something.
"This kid is so angry!" Bian Rui's grandfather sighed.
"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and clean up and eat! Xiao Rui will go to Mingzhu later," Bian Rui's grandmother said.
Bian Rui Ye and his wife immediately helped when they heard this, sat down, and the family quickly ate breakfast around the table.
"Master, I'll ask Uncle Wu later, see if he has any fish, I want a few tiger stinging fish" Bian Rui remembered the fish, so he mentioned it at the dinner table.
"Your fifth uncle didn't get off the net yesterday, wait a minute, when I'm done eating, I'll go to the river in the west to cast a few nets for you and try your luck!" said Bian Rui's father.
When Bian Rui heard that Wubo did not go to the net, he suddenly felt a little lost in his heart, and secretly blamed himself for a few words, feeling that he should have notified Wubo earlier, so that the tiger stinging fish would be stable.
The family was eating when they suddenly heard the voice of a child outside.
"Oh no, no, the fish is turning over the pond!"
Bian Rui's family immediately put down their chopsticks when they heard this, hurriedly walked to the door, and found a half-old baby talking to Bian Lao Wu out of breath.
"Little dog, what kind of fish has turned over the pond, we don't have any fish ponds here, which one is the pond to turn!" Bian Rui's grandfather asked the child.
"Fifth Ancestor, it's not me talking nonsense, I don't believe you can go and see it yourself, a lot of fish have turned over!" the little dog said loudly.
When Bian Rui's grandfather heard this, he immediately said to his children and grandchildren: "Let's go, go over and have a look!"
After speaking, he frowned with his hands behind his back and walked all the way to the west of the village.
There is a pond in the west of the village, the pond is not small, like a lake, the area of 30 acres of narrow and long type, around the foot of the mountain, it is the mountain that flows down several streams to gather together, and the river used for washing in the village is not a waterway, but the fish turn over the pond is not a good thing, the fish eaten in the village are all in this pond.
Generally speaking, when turning over the pond, either there is less oxygen in the pond, or something inappropriate flows into the pond.
The temperature in the mountains in winter will not be too low, like today is minus three or five degrees, freezing is impossible, less than minus seven or eight degrees, the ice on the river surface can not be knotted with Ben, not waiting for the ice to freeze, the sun came out, the little Xiaoice chips were sunburned to the night and disappeared.
There is no ice on the pond today, and from a long distance, I can see a tail of fish jumping on the pond, as if it is a competition to see who jumps high.
"What is this little dog talking nonsense, is this a fish turning over the pond!"
Seeing the fish jumping up in the lake, Bian Rui's grandfather sighed, now this situation is not a fish overturning the pond, but more like the fish were frightened by something, jumping out of the water one by one to escape the danger.
"This fish seems to be frightened by something, what's the big thing in the water?" asked Bian Rui's father.
"Don't talk about that, Xiao Rui, you go back and let the villagers come over with buckets and pots to catch the fish," Bian Rui's grandfather finished speaking and walked towards the small wooden boat parked next to the pond.
When Bian Rui's father heard this, he immediately followed.
Bian Rui turned his head and trotted back to the village according to his grandfather's instructions, and asked everyone to bring things over to serve the fish.
Before he got to the village, Bian Rui found several sisters-in-law and aunts coming over with large and small pots.
"Little Nineteen, go back and get the pot?"
The faces of the aunts and sisters-in-law were as happy as if they were blooming.
"Well, by the way, I informed everyone," Bian Rui said.
"Do you still need to inform me, now that the village already knows, you hurry up and go home and get the pots, and wait for the fish to be shared," the thirteenth sister-in-law said with a smile.
The two groups of people passed by, and soon Bian Rui met another group of people, and needless to say, the old and young in the village gathered around the pond and watched the strange scene of fish jumping over the pond.
At this time, Bian Rui carried a red plastic bucket and stood on the edge of the pond like the crowd, watching his father and grandfather row a small wooden boat and catch the fish that jumped out of the water with a sounding net.
There are two small wooden boats in the pond, except for Bian Rui's grandfather and father, and Bian Rui's two uncles are standing on the other one.
The fish in the pond jumped very happily, and as long as one stretched out the net and drew a circle in the space, it was easy to catch seven or eight fish, and some even jumped into the cabin automatically.
A village of people gathered around the edge of the pond, buzzing like a swarm of bees, all in high spirits waiting to divide the fish.
At this moment, someone suddenly exclaimed, "Look, look, what's that?"
Everyone's eyes cast on the water surface, and suddenly found a herringbone water mark on the pond surface, according to the size of the water mark and the height of the splash, it can be seen that the underwater thing is not small, at least there must be 20 catties of big fish to stir up such a water mark.
"A big fish, a big fish! I said there must be a big fish in the pond!"
One of the children immediately screamed with joy and showed off his foresight to his friends.
But all the adults present were not so optimistic, and everyone's eyes were on Grandpa Bian Rui, who was on the boat.
"Old Five, do you see anything under the water?" asked Bian Rui's second grandfather.
"Second brother, I can't see clearly, oh, I can see clearly, it's a fish, good guy, look at the head, this fish is at least dozens of catties bigger! It seems to be a tiger thorn fish, but it's not like it, how is it a round head, and the tiger thorn fish hasn't grown so big...... Bian Rui's grandfather frowned.
At this moment, the big fish in the water stuck its head out of the water, and I don't know if it was ventilation or what, and the huge fish head stood on the surface of the water like a monster.
