Chapter 44: Deceived
Unconsciously, more than an hour passed, and Chen Yi finally arrived in the courtyard, where the old dean was collecting dried peanuts on the ground with several other older children.
It turns out that it is already October now, the weather is also cold, it is the season to harvest peanuts, there is no land in the yard, but the government does not prevent you from opening up the wasteland for farming, no, in order for the children in the yard to eat peanuts, the old dean will use the wasteland behind the yard.
There was an acre of land, and the old dean made great efforts for this acre of land, first pulling out the weeds, and then asking others to borrow a cow, and loading a plow and rake to turn the land back and forth three or four times.
At that time, there was no chemical fertilizer, and it was all fertilized with manure, after a spring of labor. The old dean finally turned the wasteland into fertile land, and the old dean planted peanuts in the first season.
Some time ago, when the peanuts were ripe, the old dean took the children to pull out the peanuts, spread them out on the small playground in the yard and dried part of them, leaving some of them undried, and boiled peanuts for the children to eat!
"Grandpa!" Chen Yi shouted at the old dean!
The old dean turned around and saw Chenyi coming back from school, and then looked at the sky, and Xiong Chenyi was far away: "Stinky boy, why are you only coming back now!"
Chen Yi ran to the old dean and made up a lie and said: "I haven't studied much some time ago, and I've been recuperating from my injuries, so I stayed in school with Fei'er when I got out of school today." ”
As soon as he heard Fei'er, the old dean was very rare, and said: "Okay, I'm relieved to be with Fei'er, let's go back to the dormitory if it's okay!"
Chen Yi put down his schoolbag, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Grandpa, I'll harvest peanuts with you, I don't have much homework today!"
"What should you do, what are you going to do, you are not in good health, don't mix blindly! There are so many people, there is no shortage of you. The old dean said sternly!
Chen Yi shrugged his shoulders, he knew that the old dean was concerned about his body.
"Grandpa, I'm leaving. ”
"Well, go ahead, study hard, and don't forget to eat in the cafeteria at night!" said the old dean.
"Got it, Grandpa!"
Chen Yi picked up his schoolbag and left!
As soon as Chen Yi returned to the dormitory, he saw Wang Bowen and Wang Gang squatting on the ground and sneaking around and not knowing what to do.
At this time, the older children are cleaning and helping in the yard, and few are in the dormitory.
Wang Bowen and Wang Gang felt that someone had entered the house, so they hurriedly hid the things on the ground, and when they turned around and saw that it was Chenyi, they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Xiaoyi, you're scared me to death, who do I think!" Wang Bowen patted his chest and said.
Chen Yi put down the schoolbag in his hand and asked suspiciously, "What are you two doing, squatting here." ”
Wang Bowen took out a long iron wire from his arms, about 30 centimeters long, and one end was folded into the shape of a fish hook, and the wire head was sharpened.
"Yo, yellow eel hook!" Chen Yi saw at a glance.
(The yellow eel hook is used to catch the yellow eel, insert an earthworm in front of the hook, find the yellow eel hole, poke the hook into it little by little, and then feel something bite the hook, and suddenly mention it, the yellow eel will be caught, but there is a danger here that it is easy to catch snakes, but ah, the price of the yellow eel at that time was very valuable, and it cost several dollars a catty)
Chen Yi took the yellow eel hook from Wang Bowen's hand, took a general look at it, made it good, and asked: "Yellow eel is a good thing, but fishing for yellow eel is a technical job, will you?"
Wang Bowen rubbed his hands and said a little embarrassedly: "Actually, the idea of fishing for yellow eels was not thought up by the two of us, but by one of our dormitory masters." ”
Da Shuo, full name Li Shuo, is in a dormitory with Chen Yi, Da Shuo is quite good, the whole body is dark, the body is very thin, to say that digging birds' nests, going down to the river to catch fish, catching crickets, and this Dashuo is the most slippery, but the only biggest problem is that this mouth is a little fast, and everything is said outside.
"You told him about it?" asked Chen Yi, turning his head.
Wang Gang smiled and said: "Xiaoyi, don't be angry, you said that we are the best at fishing in Dashuo, and you can't do it if you don't look for him, besides, he is in the same dormitory with you, and when the time comes, it should be no problem to watch him more." ”
"Hey, you said you, let me tell you what's good, if something goes wrong, grandpa, if they oppose it again, we will give up all our efforts!"
Wang Gang explained: "Mainly, we didn't plan to tell him, this little fat boy stuffed the net into his pocket and brought it to the dormitory, and happened to be seen by Dashuo, so he told him about the matter. ”
Chen Yi shook his head speechlessly and asked, "Put his aside in advance, little fatty, what about the net?" Take it out and let me take a look." ”
As soon as he heard this, Wang Bowen immediately became taller, and said boastfully: "Brother Xiaoyi, please okay, buy this network boss and give me five cents cheaper!"
As he spoke, Wang Bowen took out a snakeskin pocket from under the bed and pulled out a net from it.
Chen Yi walked over and squatted down, tried to pull the net, and opened a hole with a hard net.
Wang Bowen and Wang Gang were also a little dumbfounded next to them, why couldn't they help but drag this good net.
Chen Yi was annoyed and stared at Wang Bowen.
Wang Bowen was a little stunned by Chen Yi's staring, and he didn't understand, it stands to reason that this kind of blocking net is woven with fine hemp rope, and an adult will not pull the net to break it if he uses the strength to eat, this is not enough, why is this net rotten?
"Little fatty, did you buy this kind of net?" Chen Yi asked.
"Brother Xiaoyi, I picked it myself at the time, I was afraid that I would break it, and I didn't want to drag him, and when I gave the money, the boss also said that I had a good vision. Wang Bowen was afraid that Chen Yi would get angry, so he hurriedly explained.
"How much is this net?" Chen Yi asked coldly.
Wang Bowen knew that he had made a mistake, and said a little dejectedly: "This is a six-meter net, a net is three pieces of five, a total of three, and the boss let me five cents, a total of ten yuan." ”
"What? These three broken nets are worth ten yuan!" Chen Yi was not yet popular, and Wang Gang was in a hurry.
Ten yuan, what kind of concept, it's enough for them to eat and drink at school for a month!
Wang Bowen was murdered, and he didn't dare to speak, and he was very aggrieved on the side.
Chen Yi thought about it calmly, he knew that Wang Bowen was not to blame for this matter, it was estimated that he had been deceived.
"Where is Dashuo now?" asked Chenyi.
"He should be helping in the cafeteria now!" Wang Gang said, because he knew that it was usually time to eat at this time, and many friends were in the cafeteria to help choose and wash vegetables.
"Well, just now, you go and call him, I'm looking for him. ”
"Okay, I'll go!"
Wang Gang went.
"Brother Xiaoyi, I'm sorry, I'm to blame for this. Wang Bowen said aggrievedly.
Chen Yi waved his hand: "I don't blame you, don't take it to heart, this matter is boring!"
"What's the greasy?"
"I'll know when Dashuo comes. Chen Yi said in a deep voice.
Actually, Chen Yi probably knows what the catty here is, but he is not so sure, Dashuo has been playing this since he was a child, and it is estimated that he will be able to understand it at a glance as soon as he comes.
It didn't take long for Wang Gang to bring Dashuo back.
"What's the matter, Xiaoyi, I heard Gangzi say, you bought a fake network?"
After all, Chen Yi and Dashuo are in the same dormitory, and the relationship is not bad, pointing to the barricade on the ground and saying: "Look at it, I don't think it's a problem of quality, I guess it's been blinded." ”
Dashuo listened, and had a score in his heart, walked to the net, looked at Chen Yi's torn hole, he saw that there were a lot of pieces around the torn hole, he rubbed it with his hand, and then stood up.
"Have you got a result?" asked Wang Gang on the side.
"Well, you have been deceived, this net is an old net, there is no damage to the previous net, maybe the boss wants to dump the second-hand net, recycle the old net, clean it with dish soap, dry it, and sell it again, this old net has been exposed to the wind and sun for a long time, and it has long lost the tenacity of the past, not a veteran of playing the net, and it is not very easy to see the cat greasy here. ”
After listening to Dashuo's explanation, Wang Bowen's lungs were about to explode.
"I'll go to his uncle's, dare to play Lao Tzu on a dog day, Lao Tzu will go and smash his store now!"
Wang Bowen scolded, picked up the wooden stick under the bed and was about to go to the store, but was stopped by Wang Gang.
"Little fatty, calm down, if you go now, people won't admit it!" Wang Gang persuaded.
"Gangzi, don't stop me, Lao Tzu has to smash his shop today, don't smash his shop today, Lao Tzu has your surname today!"
"Little fatty, you listen to Gangzi, if you go to someone now, they will definitely not admit it, you have no packaging, and there is no evidence. Dashuo also dissuaded on the side.
"No, no one can stop me today, whoever stops me will be in a hurry!"
"That's it!"
Chen Yi spoke at this time, he was really a little impatient, he knew that Wang Bowen was not to blame for this matter, but to blame them for not having enough experience.
"Brother Xiaoyi, this matter can't be counted like this, I must go to him today to ask for an explanation!" Wang Bowen was really angry.
Chen Yi said impatiently: "You go to find someone, what evidence do you take, just rely on this broken net? People bite to death This is not his net, what can you do with him! Beat him? With your physique, it is estimated that it is not enough for others to beat him, and besides, you picked this net yourself, and you can't blame others!"
"Brother Xiaoyi, what do you say, when did we let the family cheat, that's ten yuan, the ten yuan you worked so hard to save, ten yuan is enough for us to live for a month, just let the family cheat away, I'm unwilling!" Wang Bowen scolded cryingly.
Chen Yi walked to Wang Bowen's side, patted him on the back, and said comfortingly: "Eat a trench and grow a wisdom, isn't it just ten yuan, what's the big deal, let's find a way to make it without it, don't worry, I don't have time to clean him up these days, and the most important thing now is to think about how to get fish first." ”
