Walking back along the gravel road between the two rows of red-walled and black-tiled bungalows, the smell of green grass exuded from the half-large rice not far away, which was not very good.

But Wang Qiang still took a deep breath, this is the real fresh air, which smells much more comfortable than the exhaust air in the city in later generations.

A person walks a lot faster, rubber shoes on the sticky gravel road, a little sticky, said to be a gravel road, in fact, the dirt road is paved with a very thin layer of stones, every rainy day and muddy road is no different.

Twenty minutes later, I got home.

At the door, I saw my mother squatting on the ground tinkering with the bicycle, muttering to herself, "When did the tire break?"

This 28-inch permanent brand bicycle is said to be the mother's dowry, and it is precisely because the tire is broken that the father can only carry the burden to the side of the road this morning to wait for the car.

Wang Qiang walked next to his mother, squatted down, "Take it and fix it." ”

The mother didn't notice him coming back, she was startled, and patted her heart sideways, "Oh, you kid, why don't you walk silently?" Her eyes were still red and swollen, and she cried a lot last night, "I will plant a small vegetable field later, you can take it to Daniel Zhang to repair." ”

Speaking of which, this person named Daniel Zhang is not related to himself, but he is half a relative. In the countryside now, there is a popular thing called foster care, and Daniel Zhang's sister is the grandmother's foster daughter, so it is also considered a relative, he is a car mechanic, but he is very short-tempered, so that he has not yet found a wife at the age of thirty-seven or eight.

"Oh. Wang Qiang stood up, "I'll go now." ”

The mother stood up on her knees, thought for a while, reached into her trouser pocket and took out two green bills and handed them over, "Give money after repairing, you know?" She is a sincere peasant woman who does not like to take advantage of others, although she knows that Daniel Zhang may not accept it after making up the pregnancy, but she still asks her son to give money.

Wang Qiang, who knew his mother's personality very well, didn't speak, took the money and stuffed it into her bag, she once taught herself that it was okay to be poor, but she had to live with backbone.

……

It's hard to walk with a bicycle pushed.

What's more, it's a heavy 28 bar.

Wang Qiang was not in a hurry, he pushed slowly, and along the way, he gradually felt the breath of this era, whether it was clear waves and green water, or overgrown farmland, or sporadic grass houses, they were all traces given by the years, and they would not be seen in a few years.

Walk through the vegetable market in the middle of the town to Daniel Zhang Car Company.

"Uncle Daniel Zhang. Wang Qiang pushed the cart in and shouted.

The man squatting on the ground was busy sweating, several bicycles were parked next to him, business was good today, Daniel Zhang looked up, "Ah, Qiangzi, the car is broken?" later, wait until I finish repairing this car to help you get it." ”

The aunt in the red plaid dress was not happy, "Xiao Zhang, I've been waiting for half an hour, and you will let you cut the queue if you come to an acquaintance?"

Daniel Zhang glared and said, "Don't fix the fuck out, who I like to cut in line, who do you care?"

He has this temper, but he doesn't have any bad intentions, Wang Qiang knows, seeing that his aunt is going to be angry, he hurriedly said: "Uncle, you help her repair first, lend me two lead buckets, and I'll go lobster fishing." ”

Since he decided to let his parents enjoy Qingfu, he must work hard to make money, Wang Qiang is shy in his pocket, and he can't even take out two yuan and five, let alone use money to make money, two yuan in his pocket, or his mother asked him to pay for car repairs.

It's not that he didn't think about fishing, but he vetoed, because fishing first has to prepare a fishing rod, many people use dry bamboo rods to make their own homemade, but the fishing line has to spend money to buy, Wang Qiang has no money, so he can only retreat to the next lobster fishing.

Now the lobster is very cheap, not like the later fried to dozens of yuan a catty, there are not many people in the countryside to eat, there may be people in the town will buy, Wang Qiang has no other way, no capital to buy and sell this for the time being, catch the best can be sold, can't sell it and take it home to eat.

Hearing that he wanted to fish for lobsters, Daniel Zhang said happily: "Remember to help me catch a spot." "Personality is very childlike.

Wang Qiang sighed, turned out a dozen lead wires in Daniel Zhang's repair box, found a thread ball, and filled the plastic bottle with soapy water, and then carried two lead buckets to the small river not far away.

……

Come to the river.

Pushing aside the reeds, Wang Qiang found a good position, poured soapy water on the ground, and after a while, several large black earthworms came out of the ground, which was a small trick, and he used to play with it when he was a child.

He was not afraid of getting dirty, so he grabbed the earthworms and skewered them into the lead wires, a series of more than a dozen, and finally broke the lead wires into loops. Looking at the reed pole beside him, Wang Qiang heaved, broke it hard, broke it in response, removed the branches, and then tied the thread.

Ten pairs of rods were made in no time.

Wang Qiang began to put the fishing rod, one at a distance of one meter.

There is a little trick of lobster fishing, that is, it will pick a place, there are generally fewer in the big river, it is better to find the kind of small ditch with a slight smell, and when the fishing rod is put down, the lobster will be very stupid to catch it by itself, and even if it is lifted out of the water, it will not let go, unless you tear it off with your hands.

Obviously, Wang Qiang's position is very good, the ten pairs of fishing rods have just been released, and the first pair of fishing rods has already been hooked by lobsters, why are you so sure? Because the lobster is relatively strong, when eating earthworms, it will slightly drag the fishing rod placed on the shore.

When he saw that the rod was moving, he immediately ran over to pick up the fisherman, good fellow, and slapped a lobster clip on it.

Pulled to the side, Wang Qiang grabbed the back of the lobster, ripped it off and threw it into the lead bucket, then put the fishing rod down again, walked to the second pair of fishing rods and picked it up, and there was another lobster on it.

Some people may be tempted to say, lobsters are your home-raised, start a pair of fish?

Hey, don't really say it, the lobster flood this year is almost like home-raised, if you go back to 94 and put the fishing rod hanging with earthworms in the stinky ditch, you don't have a lobster in three minutes and you look for me.

Wang Qiang immediately changed one pair after getting up, and he was very busy.

In about an hour, a lead bucket was full.

At this time, the sun is very high.

Fortunately, it was relatively cool under the reeds, Wang Qiang didn't feel any heat, but kept repeating the action of the fishing rod, sometimes starting once, there would be two or three lobsters in a pair of fishing rods.

Another hour passed.

Even under the reeds, Wang Qiang felt a hint of heat, and looked at the two large lead buckets that had been filled, and he was ready to stop.

Suddenly!

With a sigh, I don't know what touched the reed leaves on the ground.

Wang Qiang's heart tightened, thinking that it was a water snake, although the water snake was not poisonous, but it would still bite, he hurriedly looked around, wanting to be careful.

Well?

What is it?

Two or three steps ahead, the shellfish on the shore has been slowly moving its body and climbing up the shore.

Wang Qiang suddenly breathed and suffocated, Wang Ba!

I didn't expect to see a big king eight here!

You must know that the price of Wang Ba is very high now, if Wang Qiang is not mistaken, before 96 years, the unit price of wild Wang Ba was as high as 500 yuan per catty. (Note 1)

However, in the future, because of the maturity of artificial breeding technology, the price of Wang Ba will become very low, and around 2000, the market can be seen everywhere in the artificial breeding of Wang Ba, the price is only 27 yuan per catty.

But that's an artificially bred king, not a wild king, not to mention that it's not yet 96 years later, and the wild king's eight is definitely valuable.

The one in front of me is estimated to weigh a pound.

Wang Qiang's eyes flickered, if he could catch this Wang Ba, he would have money, he couldn't even afford a fishing line for a few cents a piece before, and now there is a Wang Ba worth a few hundred yuan in front of him?
