Chapter 006: The Little Man in My Memory
The mother who was holding the five hundred yuan was very happy, but her face was still a little incredulous, "Wang Ba is really so valuable?"
"Really, really, why am I lying to you?" Wang Qiang said in an affirmative tone.
The mother showed a look of annoyance, "If I had known that it was so valuable, I would have caught those two Wang Ba in Xigou Beach two days ago." ”
Wang Qiang's eyes moved, and he asked, "Xigou Beach, next to the river to the west of our house?"
The mother put the money in her pocket, "Yes, I saw it two days ago, and I swooped back into the water, and now I don't know where to swim." ”
Indeed, whether it is Wang Ba or other river creatures, they will not stay in one place, today in Wang Qiang's Xigou Beach, maybe tomorrow to swim into the big river.
But he still remembered it.
The lobster was cut quickly.
Wang Qiang burned the fire, and now there are no gas stoves in the countryside, basically all of them are earthen stoves. Of course, each place is different, the earthen stove is also a little similar, Wang Qiang in other areas does not know, his own side of the earthen stove is two pots, the middle of a steel pot, specially used to simmer soup, but his family conditions are poor, this steel pot has hardly simmered soup, all used to boil water.
Pick up the straw and start the fire with a match.
Wang Qiang was cautious, waited for the straw to burn for a small half, and then put it into the stove, and then filled two handfuls of straw, until the flame inside was relatively strong, and then changed to the sun-dried rape stalks.
It was very hot, and after a short fire, he was sweating profusely.
The mother poured oil into the pot, waited until the oil was hot, put the seasoning down, sizzled, and then poured the cleaned lobster into the pot and stir-fried until it turned red, poured in water and boiled.
It didn't take long for the lobster to finish.
There is a cold meal left in the morning, and now in the summer, I am not afraid of eating a bad stomach.
The mother and son sat at the table of the four immortals, each sitting on a bench, and eating.
"Well, it tastes good. "Mother ate a lobster and was satisfied.
Wang Qiang smiled, "Eat more delicious." "Now poor families only eat lobster, unlike later, lobster costs dozens of dollars a catty. Seeing his mother happy, he calmed down a lot, and tried to find a way to earn more money before the year, and helped the family pay off the debts.
During the meal, his mother babbled about the poverty of the family, which made Wang Qiang feel wronged, and said that he should study hard at home and not go to the river to get any Wang Ba lobster.
"Alright, I'm done. The mother swept the lobster shell into the sea bowl and advised: "Parents have settled the tuition matter, don't go to the river, it's not safe." ”
Wang Qiang didn't speak, he knew his mother's worries, but since he decided to let his parents live a good life, how could he do it if he didn't work hard?
Looking at the red walls on all sides, his eyes gradually became confused, and he began to miss his wife and son again.
His wife's name is Yu Meili, and her personality is more lively.
In fact, his wife is not the kind of woman who looks amazing, but the kind of woman who is very delicate, Wang Qiang still remembers that when she first met, her bob attracted him, and in the era when the streets were full of long hair fluttering, it was rare to see a woman with a bob.
I have to say that his wife's melon seed face is very suitable for the bob, with eyes that seem to be able to speak, and there is a special spirituality.
It's just that as time goes by, her face gradually becomes wrinkled, she does housework all year round, her hands become a little rough, and her former activity is gradually replaced by gentleness.
It's not that I haven't talked about a beautiful girlfriend, and I have buried the girl who has made Wang Qiang's heart pound so far, but in comparison, she is still beautiful and more suitable to be a wife.
Perhaps, as a saying goes, life is destined to meet two kinds of people, one is amazing time, and the other is gentle time.
Wang Qiang clenched his fists, he must get his wife back, he was a husband and wife in his last life, and he will naturally be in this life.
At this moment, he determined a few things to make his parents live a good life, get his wife back, let his son be the rich second generation, and of course, get ahead himself.
Just thinking about things, my mother changed into old clothes and came out, "I'm going to the field, don't run around." ”
"Oh. Wang Qiang responded, but he was thinking in his mind, don't run around? How is it possible, I have to buy a fishing cage in the afternoon, and then go down to the river.
Wait until soon after the mother is gone.
Wang Qiang pushed his bicycle and walked out, locked the door, and went to Siyi Town next door.
Minqiang Town is relatively small, and there is no place to sell fishing gear, because the town is small, it will be merged into Siyi Town in a few years.
……
Siyi Town.
Farmer's Street, a grocery store at the east end of the street.
Wang Qiang stopped his bicycle, walked in, and shouted, "Is there anyone?"
"Later, I'll call my dad. A girl's voice came from inside.
Wang Qiang stood at the door and waited, glancing at the hanging fishing nets, but unfortunately he didn't know how to fish with fishing nets, so he could only retreat and buy a few fishing cages.
Footsteps came, and out came a shirtless middle-aged man, very strong, and his voice was very loud, "What do you want to buy?"
There was also a girl behind him, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, Wang Qiang glanced at it, vaguely felt a little familiar, didn't think much about it, and opened his mouth to say: "Boss, is there a fishing cage?"
As soon as the words fell, the girl asked, "Wang Qiang, what do you want a fishing cage for?"
Wang Qiang looked at the girl in surprise, very familiar, but to tell the truth, he really couldn't remember, he said with a smile: "I have nothing to do at home, catch two fish." ”
The girl sighed, didn't speak, just stared at him.
"Lijuan, do you know?" said the middle-aged man.
The girl nodded, "My classmate." ”
Listening to the conversation between the father and daughter, Wang Qiang suddenly remembered who this girl was, Jiang Lijuan, a classmate in junior high school for three years, but the two had little intersection when they were in school, no wonder they couldn't remember.
Father Jiang said: "Since you are a classmate, then I will give you a cheap price later." ”
"Thank you. Wang Qiang thanked him, now people are more simple, since he said that he gave himself a discount, then there would be a discount in seven or eight out of ten, unlike many people who did business later and dominated acquaintances.
Father Jiang bent down and rummaged through the pile, "I have two kinds of fish cages here, which one do you want?"
Wang Qiang said: "I'll take a look." ”
With the help of Jiang Lijuan, Jiang's father quickly turned out two kinds of fishing cages, one like a fly cover covering leftovers, but the bottom was sealed with nylon wire, and seven or eight barbed holes were opened on all sides, so that the fish could swim in and out, and the second was the ground cage, this thing should not be explained, it was powerful and amazing, and it was later banned in the national fisheries law.
"How much does a ground cage cost?" asked Wang Qiang.
Father Jiang: "Thirty." ”
"What about this?" asked Wang Qiang, pointing to another cage.
Father Jiang: "Ten pieces." ”
Wang Qiang thought for a while, "Give me two ground cages and four round cages." After saying that, he bargained, "Ninety lines in total, can't you?"
Father Jiang waved his hand, "No, no, no, this thing doesn't make much money." ”
Wang Qiang was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "You can earn more than ten yuan for a ground cage, and you can earn two or three yuan for a round cage, I buy so much, it is cheaper than ten yuan, and I will come to patronize it next time." "He's not a shy young man, he has a soul in his thirties and forties, and he's not embarrassed to bargain.
Jiang Lijuan blinked her eyes on the side, and she seemed to be a little unaware of her junior high school classmate, as if she was a little different from when she was in school.
was called to break the profit price, Jiang's father didn't look embarrassed, and said bitterly: "How can you have such a high profit as you said, I really don't make you any money, yes, for the sake of your daughter's classmate, ninety is ninety." ”
Wang Qiang was secretly amused, but since the goal was achieved, he still happily took out a hundred yuan.
Father Jiang asked him for two five-yuan ones.
went up to get the cage, Jiang Lijuan had already bent down to help get the two cages, "I'll help you." ”
Wang Qiang was stunned, "Thank you." ”
The two took the cage outside, he put it on the back seat of the bicycle, and Jiang Lijuan took a plastic wire from inside.
"I heard that you were admitted to Siyi High School?" Jiang Lijuan accosted.
Wang Qiang, who was tying up the cage, hummed and said casually, "What about you?"
Jiang Lijuan sighed, "I didn't do well in the exam, but my dad helped me apply for the university." ”
Wang Qiang raised his head, "Go to school in the county?"
"Otherwise?" Jiang Lijuan looked a little distressed, "I heard that there are a lot of bad embryos in the electric university, and I don't want to go." ”
Wang Qiang was relieved: "It's not the same everywhere. ”
Jiang Lijuan pouted, "I'm worried about my future in the future." ”
Wang Qiang, who was in a good mood, quipped, "If you marry a rich man in the future, you will have any future." ”
"Phew, I didn't expect you to become flamboyant, so I don't want to rely on men. Jiang Lijuan snorted, but her eyes were curved like crescent moons.
Wang Qiang laughed, didn't say anything more to her, and had to prepare the bait later, and the time was a little rushed, so he said, "I still have something to do, so I'll go first." ”
Jiang Lijuan nodded and didn't speak again.
Wang Qiang turned his bicycle around and pedaled hard.
Jiang Lijuan's voice suddenly came from behind, "I have the opportunity to call to see me, and I will introduce you to the object at that time." ”
