Chapter 84: Fishing
Say goodbye to Xu Fucheng and go back to the store, the old man is pretending to do his homework in the room, and the door is open a crack, facing the outside.
Xu Xuecheng entered the door with his front foot, and the old man pounced out, hanging on Xu Xuecheng like a sloth, "Brother, you said that you took me to the reservoir to fish, don't cheat!"
"Okay, okay, then you clean up, let's go back to Xujiawu to sleep tonight," Xu Xuecheng raised his hand to surrender, and Eleven promised Lao Mo to take her to play, this Nizi remembered it firmly, and she grabbed the gap and pestered Xu Xuecheng.
He called Sister Ye again, "Sister Ye, you can go with you, I haven't rested for so long, let's take a holiday today!"
Sister Ye also wanted to ask Mother Ye, but was pushed back to her own room by Xu Xue, "Hurry up, I'll let Brother Dajun send us later, and sleep in Xujiawu tonight!"
The 212 jeep was driving fast on the road, and there was nothing to do in Li Dajun's troops, and now he had been successfully promoted to company commander, with an extra star on his shoulder.
"Chengcheng, this place is good."
The place where Xu Xuecheng took them was a reservoir in Qingshantou Commune next door, three mountains surrounded the water, and a dam blocked the blue waves at the exit, Xu Xuecheng had come here to fish several times in his previous life.
At this time, the fish in the reservoir are all wild, no one raises them, and no one cares, Xu Xuecheng took a few fishing rods made of water bamboo, the float was made of duck feathers, cut into a row and tied to the kind of brown line tied to the sole of the shoe, the hooks were burned and bent with embroidery needles, put on earthworms, move a stone and sit there, quietly waiting for the fish to take the bait.
People who often fish know that when fishing, the most annoying thing is that someone is yelling next to him, Xu Xuecheng now wants to plug the old man's mouth with a stone, this girl is very wild, the float moves, and the ghost screams next to it.
Li Dajun stayed for a while and left, after all, the army has its own rules, even an officer like him can't spend the night outside for no reason, Xu Xuecheng didn't stay, it's only two miles to get home here, and he can walk back in the evening.
In fact, the best time to fish is in the early morning and dusk, it will be three or four o'clock, the sun is very hot, the water surface is warm, how can there be fish bite bait, Xu Xuecheng simply threw the fishing rod aside, took a stone to press, and plunged into the water to swim.
"Plop~" Lao Mo also jumped down, at this time, there are really few children in the south who can't paddle, after all, there are only two kinds of entertainment at this time, up the mountain and down the river.
Sister Ye was helping Xu Xuecheng look at the fishing rod, her face was tanned, and she was sweating hard, Xu Xuecheng was lying on the water with her back, he called his posture a "floating zombie" and didn't need to move, it was very cool.
"Sister Ye, come down and play together!" Xu Xuecheng greeted.
"No, no, you can play with the swallows, I'll be on the shore. ”
Sister Ye was still wearing a green shirt with a stand-up collar on this hot day, and at first glance, it was the short-sleeved shirt of Mother Ye's long shirt, Xu Xuecheng estimated that she was afraid that the scar on her shoulder would be exposed.
Don't look at the sun on your head, people have been soaking in the water for a long time, they still tremble, Xu Xuecheng played once, and went ashore, and by the way, he also brought Lao Mo ashore, this Nizi is crazy and doesn't want to die, her lips are blue and she still says it's not cold.
Xu Xuecheng directly carried her on a stone slab, stripped her naked, and put on her the undershirt he dragged on the shore.
"Huh~ stinks to death, a smell of sweat" Lao Mo pinched his nose and said in disgust.
Xu Xuecheng has been running outside for so long today, and there is a little smell on his clothes, which is inevitable, "It stinks, then take it off and be naked, anyway, you are a little brat"
"What's the matter, how can people grow up?" argued with reason, Xu Xuecheng changed to an earthworm, looked at the float, and ignored her.
"Hey, it's on, hurry up, take the net~" The float was black and floated, Xu Xuecheng carried it, and the end of the bamboo pole was bent into a semicircle.
It was a carp in its early stages, which was pulled out of the water by Xu Xuecheng, and Lao Mo took the net and fished it directly and raised it in the water.
"Look, it's still your brother cow, it's a big one" Xu Xuecheng was very proud, he used to fish mostly with a white fish one or two fingers long, but he didn't expect to be a big guy today.
"Cut, look at me to have a bigger one than you" The old man's float didn't move for a long time, so angry that she jerked it and picked up a crab hanging in the air.
"Ha~ Look, I caught a crab," Lao Mo pressed its back cover, pinched the two big claws of the crab, and asked Xu Xuecheng to show off.
Xu Xuecheng is also happy, this crab is still head-scratched, what a stupid crab must be this to be able to get on the bait of the old man!
Girls fishing is impatient, less than ten minutes, Lao Mo pulled Sister Ye up the mountain to play, this will be the mountain camellia pieces (scientific name tea fungus) is happy, big flowers, you can pick a lot of them by drilling on the mountain.
Lao Mo came into the mountain, that is a monkey, up the tree is very slippery, no matter how high the tea knots are, brush it and go up, and after a while a lot of it comes back.
Xu Xuecheng picked a piece of molten skin and put it in his mouth, and after swallowing it, he left a fragrance of camellia between his mouth.
I ate at home that night, and after dinner, I burned all the fish I caught today, and then picked a small pumpkin in my grandmother's vegetable field and made a soup, which was simple and delicious.
When I arrived at Xujiawu, there were many people who greeted Xu Xuecheng along the way, and when they saw Sister Ye leading behind them, they all laughed and said if the little daughter-in-law took it home to show grandma.
At night, Lao Mo still slept in his own room, and pulled Sister Ye over to sleep with her, saying that she was afraid, in fact, Lao Mo had long been used to sleeping alone, Xu Xuecheng estimated that it was two little girls, what kind of whispers.
The next morning, I went to my grandmother's house for breakfast, white rice porridge with dried pumpkin, it was very delicious, grandma also specially fried a few poached eggs, and put two in Sister Ye's bowl.
At noon, grandma left Xu Xuecheng to eat at home, slaughtered all the old hens that laid eggs, boiled boiling water and prepared to soak the feathers, Xu Xuecheng did not force him to go, and simply pulled a small bench to help pluck the feathers.
The freshly boiled water was very hot, Xu Xuecheng pinched his fingers and pulled them out one by one, Sister Ye couldn't stand it anymore, pulled him aside, rolled up her sleeves and shaved the chicken's head.
Grandpa used to work in the society, and then went to the county to help for a while, and after coming back, Xu Shigui Wang Meilan did not stop filial piety, and he didn't worry about eating and drinking, so he simply stayed at home.
Pulled over the small bench and put tobacco on the grandfather's smoking pot, and the old man took two sips, which seemed to be passed on by Xu Shigui from him.
It's not that Xu Xuecheng hasn't given his grandfather a cigarette, he still feels that the dry cigarette is powerful, and the cigarette is boring and light.
"The eldest (Xu Xuecheng is the eldest son in the family), how about your uncle wrapping a pond at the entrance of the village to raise fish?"
Now there are few people in the family who treat Xu Xuecheng as a child, but as the backbone of the family, people outside don't understand, and their own family members can not be clear, that restaurant, vegetable shop, which is not Xu Xuecheng's drumming, Xu Shiguiwang has no horn, at most, even if he is a helper.
"Is it possible to pack a fish pond now?" Xu Xuecheng remembered that his uncle in the previous life went out to work, and he didn't have the idea of packing a fish pond at home.
"Yes, it's not that there are so many collective fish ponds in the commune, and now they are all idle, the last time I heard my in-laws talk about it, I thought about letting your uncle go to Baokou fish pond, and it would save me all day at home."
Uncle Xu Xueliang now lives with his grandmother, he has just been married for two or three years, and his family has not opened a new house.
"Okay, it's good to build a fish pond, my uncle is willing to give him some capital first, and the fish can be pulled to the vegetable garden to sell, which is better than making money in the production team!"
Hearing his grandson say this, his grandfather was relieved, "You don't have to pay the money, I'll let your uncle go to the commune tomorrow, and you can help your uncle when the time comes!"
The old hen at noon, with mushrooms, stewed in a big pot, the aroma wafted everywhere in the room, smelling it and knowing that it was better than the feed chickens of later generations, I don't know how much.
The big chicken leg must be for the grandson, and the other is for Sister Liye, the old man's mouth is sky-high, and the grandfather knocked her and gave him a wing.
