After saying goodbye to old classmates.

Wang Qiang bought some red earthworms and sesame oil in Siyi Town, and was about to ride home, but suddenly remembered that his mother had seen Wang Ba in Xigoutan, and he spent two yuan to buy pork liver.

In fact, the red earthworm can be dug by himself, but he was afraid of delaying the time to get out of the cage, so he bought it directly in the town.

Now the money is more valuable, pork is only 4.5 yuan a catty, except for the cage costs 90 yuan, the other three things only cost 5 yuan.

Even so, Wang Qiang only had seven yuan left in his pocket, and if he invested such a large amount of money, he would definitely hope to earn it back.

Pedal the 28 bar and go back.

Almost half an hour to get home.

Wang Qiang parked the car outside, took out the key to open the door, went in, and looked at the round clock hanging on the wall, it was only two o'clock in the afternoon.

Taking the cage off the car, he found a broken bowl, took out a small wooden stick from behind the stove, poured the red earthworm into it, mashed it with a wooden stick, and then mixed it with sesame oil.

After finishing it, Wang Qiang got up and went to the table of the four immortals, took out the cold rice that his mother put in the bamboo basket, mixed it with sesame oil, kneaded it into a small ball, and muttered: "If you want your mother to know, you probably have to say that you will kill me." ”

Because the family is poor and his mother is very thrifty, Wang Qiang knows that she usually cooks rice when she is at home, otherwise it must be corn flour and rice.

After the advent of the new century, eating corn flour is called nutrition and fashion, but eating corn flour now is not because it fills the stomach and is reluctant to give up rice.

Preparing the fish food, Wang Qiang propped up the round cage and the ground cage and placed the fish food inside.

Fish like fragrance, fishy smell and smell, so the bait must have the characteristics of fragrant, fishy, smelly, etc., and the most sensitive colors of fish are red, white, and yellow, so make bait as close as possible to these three colors.

Wang Qiang prepared properly, and then took the ground cage to Xigou Beach, which was not a few steps away from home.

Riverside.

Originally, he wanted to throw it out directly, but considering that there are more small shrimp on the shore, especially near the aquatic weeds, there are more lobsters, which is not conducive to fishing, Wang Qiang after careful consideration, he still decided to go into the water and put the ground cage in the middle of the river, so that not only has the opportunity to catch big fish, but also may catch black fish, the price of black fish is much more expensive than ordinary crucian carp and silver carp.

Taking off his clothes and pants, Wang Qiang slowly climbed into the water with the ground cage, hissing, a little cold.

"Acclimatize to the water temperature first, don't wait until you get cramps. Wang Qiang muttered to himself, and adapted to the water bare-chested for a while, then held the ground cage with one hand and paddled the water with the other, and slowly came to the middle of the river.

Wow.

The cage was thrown out, causing a splash that covered his face.

Wang Qiang wiped his face and hair, grabbed the rope of the ground cage again, swam back to the shore, found a thinner tree to tie it, and then concocted another ground cage a little farther away.

Finally, there was the round cage, which he lowered along the shore.

The cage went down to the river, and I will get up early tomorrow to collect it, and then rush to the morning market to sell it.

Standing on the shore, Wang Qiang shook the water droplets on his body, and was about to carry his clothes home, when he suddenly thought that his mother had said that he had seen Wang Ba here, so he simply squatted down and looked around.

Hey?

What kind of footprint is this?

Wang Qiang found a footprint very similar to a duck's paw next to the reeds, and then there was a burst of joy, it was Wang Ba's footprints, and the duck's paw was not so small.

It seems that he bought the right pork liver today, and he was a little itchy, but he knew that the probability of waiting for Wang Ba to take the initiative to climb ashore was relatively low, so he decided to take the initiative.

Wang Ba is more afraid of life, if there is any movement, he will dive into the water, and it is not easy to fish during the day, so Wang Qiang pondered that after dinner, this fishing is the best, and the fishing is not fun, this kind of thing is hard to find.

……

It is determined that there is indeed a king eight in Xigou Beach.

Wang Qiang's mind began to become active, and instead of going home directly, he came to his grandparents' house at the east end of the road.

Grandma's house is a three-room bungalow with white lime on the walls.

When Wang Qiang walked in, his grandmother was sewing the soles of his shoes, and his grandfather was lying on the recliner and squeaking because his eyes were not clear because of diabetes.

"Who's coming?" asked Grandpa, who had good ears.

Grandma looked up and said with a smile, "Qiangzi." ”

Grandpa immediately sat up and touched his hands indiscriminately, "Qiangzi, I haven't been here for so long during the summer vacation, come over and let me have a look." ”

He said to look, but in fact, he couldn't see it, Wang Qiang still walked over, "Grandpa, grandma." ”

Grandpa grabbed his hand and said with emotion: "I'm thinner, thinner than years ago, what about your mother?"

Wang Qiang squatted beside the recliner, "I'm going to plant a small vegetable field, she has to go to work in the textile factory tomorrow, I'm afraid it's too late." ”

Grandma put down the soles of her shoes and said with concern: "Is the tuition fee enough? It's not enough for me and your grandfather to have some savings, so I'll give it to you first." ”

Although the grandparents took the initiative to ask their parents to split up, they were actually very good to Wang Qiang, after all, the uncle was not married, and the cousin was not very talkative, Wang Qiang's mouth was sweet, which was very happy with the grandparents.

"It's done, it's done. Wang Qiang hurriedly said.

"Who borrowed the money this time?" Grandpa sighed and patted the back of Wang Qiang's hand, "Your family is not easy, I know, at the beginning, I shouldn't have let the second child go out so early." ”

Grandma interjected, "What if we don't split up? The third child is thirty years old and not married, so we have to think about it." ”

Indeed, if there is no separation in the countryside, the girls may not be willing to marry, and the grandparents have no choice, they must always think about the younger son, the eldest son and the second son are married, and if the younger son does not get married again, he must not give jokes to the village?

Even so, if the uncle is not married in his thirties, there are people who chew the root of his tongue behind his back, anyway, it is not a nice word.

In the past, Wang Qiang didn't understand this, and he often didn't come to his grandparents' house when he was angry, but if he did it again, those unpleasant memories would have long since disappeared, and it was not easy for his grandparents.

After chatting for a while, the grandfather was worried again: "The second family still owes two or three thousand yuan from the outside, right? Now I borrow tuition for Qiangzi, and it is estimated that I owe four or five thousand." ”

Grandma said worriedly: "Four or five thousand, the second child has to work for a year and a half without eating or drinking on the construction site, how can this be done?"

Wang Qiang was silent, 5,000 yuan is not a small number, his father only earns 10 yuan a day on the construction site, and he can earn more than 3,000 yuan without stopping for 365 days a year.

But fortunately, my parents haven't made up for their tuition for the time being, so they actually only owe about 3,000 outside.

Even so, it is a huge pressure on Wang Qiang now, and it is very difficult to get 3,000 yuan in a short period of time in the countryside.

If I have two or three thousand yuan in my hand, maybe there is a way to make more money with money, Wang Qiang secretly thought in his heart, as for the debt, I am not in a hurry for the time being, just wait until the end of the year to pay it off, other creditors are different from the third aunt, not so anxious.

Grandpa said: "Qiangzi, have dinner here at night, and call your mother by the way, it happened that the meat was burned yesterday." ”

Wang Qiang hurriedly said: "No, no, I came over to ask you if you have bamboo poles and thick nylon threads, and then give me a box needle." ”

Grandma wondered, "What do you want these things for?"

Of course, Wang Qiang can't say that he is going to fish for Wang Ba, otherwise they will tell his mother that they can't sneak out at night, and the best time to fish Wang Ba is at night, "Oh, I'll get something." ”

"What are you doing?" asked Grandma.

Grandpa said impatiently: "Why do you ask the east and the west, don't you just give it to the strong son." ”

As the head of the family, grandpa was very majestic, grandma didn't say anything, found a few long bamboo poles, took a roll of nylon thread, and finally turned out a box of sewing needles in the cabinet, about twenty or so.

After getting the things, Wang Qiang was slightly excited in his heart, he could make a fishing rod for Wang Ba, but he was worried about Wang Ba for hundreds of yuan a catty, but he didn't know if he could get a harvest tonight.
