Chapter 10 Clamping the Bigger Boar
The boss suspiciously put the steel clips and chains into the snakeskin pocket, then sat on the stool and waited quietly for the customer to come to the door.
And Guo Qu also sat on the small steps in front of the door on the side, and the girl took Guo Qu's hand, carefully looking at the crowded street, and from time to time was frightened by some people to grab Guo Qu's hand, and then looked back at Guo Qu, and saw that her brother still had a smile on his face, and the girl looked at the crowd curiously.
It is estimated that in her memory, she has never seen so many people, so she is more curious, but because of her timidity and the experience of this year, she seems a little autistic, so she always lacks a sense of security, which can be seen from her holding Guo Qu's sleeve.
"Grandpa~" The girl suddenly shouted, Guo Qu hurriedly looked in the direction of the girl's finger, the old man really came, and he also carried a big back pocket.
When the girl shouted "grandpa", the old man also saw Guo Qu and Xiaojing, and squeezed through the crowd and came over.
Guo Qu also got up and walked to the stall owner on the side.
"How much is the total price?
"Forty-five dollars, that's ten dollars cheaper. ”
The boss was willing to send a clip, and then Guo cut off five yuan, which is not ten yuan.
"What?!"
But this price, the old man is still not satisfied, forty yuan, that is equivalent to him working for others for eight months, eight months......! Loser?!
"Ahem!" Guo Qu didn't want to be wronged, and hurriedly explained, "Five clips are five yuan each, and there are five iron chains, each of which is six yuan, which is indeed ten yuan cheaper." And I estimate that if it is less than forty-five dollars, this boss will not sell it to us. ”
But the old man didn't believe in evil, so he walked over and negotiated, but the owner of the stall refused to give in at all.
The reason given is enough to convince Guo: the price of the clamp is three yuan, and the price of the iron chain is five yuan, which is a total of forty yuan, and others have only earned five yuan in the past half a year, so they must be unwilling to reduce the price.
The old man had no choice but to compromise, and then after learning how to install the clamp again, he walked on the road without saying a word with the chain and the iron clip on his back with an unhappy face.
Guo went to walk behind the old man with the girl on his back, the girl was still young, and he had to carry it after walking a few steps, plus three packs of ice packs and five wheat baba in the girl's arms, and he had to walk two kilometers of mountain roads, anyway, except for the girl, no one was easy.
Back home, the sun was already setting in the west, but it was still three or four hours before it had set.
Out of distress for the forty-five yuan he had used at a time, the old man went home to drink a sip of strong tea and then went to the mountain to place the clips.
Guo naturally has to follow, and when they leave, the girl will cry, so naturally she has to take it with her.
It took the three of them nearly an hour to climb over the ridge, and another half an hour to walk to the moist black soil where Guo had thrown away sweet potatoes a few days ago.
The old man carefully attached the clamp, and Guo Qu tied the iron chain to the pine tree, the diameter of the tethered pine tree was at least ten centimeters, but it was still not enough for the powerful wild boar, so after Guo went to tie the iron chain to the tree, he used the wire he brought to pull a new one and tie it to another tree.
The old man had already finished the second clamp at this time, and Guo Qu began to quickly tie the chain again.
When all five were ready, the two of them used hoes to bury the chains deep in the ground, and then threw twenty or thirty sweet potatoes at random, and arranged five iron clips around the field specially used to trap wild boars.
Only then did I leave with peace of mind.
The water here is muddy every day with wild boars, so no one else will come here, and I'm not afraid of getting people in the middle.
However, the three of them did not go far, but returned to the ridge, standing on the edge of the cliff and looking at the black soil at the bottom of the cliff, thinking naturally: If you can catch a wild boar today, it will be good.
Unfortunately, the hottest time of the day has passed for a long time, and wild boars are unlikely to be there.
Unless it's water in the woods overgrown with vegetation, but Guo still doesn't dare to go to that kind of place, in this weather, there must be snakes in the woods, and if you are bitten again, you can't row.
However, the wild boars will definitely go to drink water in the evening, but who dares to stay in the deep mountains and old forests in the evening?
After waiting for about an hour, there was still no movement under the cliff, and he didn't even see the shadow of the wild boar, the old man was a little disappointed, perhaps, at this time, in his heart, he was still haunted by the forty-five yuan.
After returning home, the sun had completely set, and the old man hurried to hot the meal, while Guo went to accompany the little girl.
The girl was holding an ice pack to suck ice water at this time, the sweet ice pack, since she drank it yesterday, she had already captured her, and even the wheat baba was put aside by her and ignored it.
"Is it good?"
"It's delicious~"
"Do you still want ice packs?"
"I want to~"
"Oh, here you go. ”
Guo went to give the little girl the ice pack that belonged to him, this ice bag is really expensive, a dime a pack, so far he will only buy it when he goes to the street to sell wild things.
The most important thing is that for him, the ice pack is just used to cool down when it is the hottest, since the sun is setting at this time, then give it to the girl, anyway, the girl likes to eat, so let her eat happily.
The girl is indeed very grateful, her right hand cherishes the ice pack in her hand, and her left hand puts the ice pack in the corner of her mouth, and then takes a sip, and then her eyes are smiling.
Seeing this, Guo Qu seemed very happy, and he was also very satisfied, this kind of life was something he did not have in his previous life.
When he was a child in his previous life, when he was ignorant, he took his sister with him, thinking that she was dragging an oil bottle, and that she had wasted a lot of his time playing, so he would often beat her.
When he grows up and is sensible, his sister is gone. At that time, he was grief-stricken, really desperate, because he had committed suicide, but it didn't work out.
If you start over in this life, you can't let yourself regret it again.
So seeing the girl's happy smile, Guo Qu was very satisfied, as for whether he would make a lot of money after being reborn, for him, money was really nothing compared to his sister's happiness.
For those who have not experienced it, it is difficult to understand this small satisfaction, small happiness.
However, it doesn't matter, go your own way and let others say go!
Life is only a few decades, no matter how famous you were during your lifetime, how rich you were, everyone is the same after death, they are all a handful of loess, no, the future generations should say that it is a jar of ashes.
Money is enough for him, as long as he can make his sister happy, as long as he can make his family happy, this is his greatest wish.
The rice was quickly warmed up, and speaking of which, this was the third time I had eaten white rice since I came back from rebirth, and it tasted really good.
The girl ate another bowl and a half of rice, and also ate half a rice poop, this was the first time Guo Qu had seen the girl eat so much.
