Chapter 10: Father

Later, Ma Xiaodong rode with his cousin Yang Hailong every day to school, and Yang Hailong rode with his cousin Ma Xiaodong after school. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Uncle and aunt didn't say anything, an old bicycle, if it breaks, you can fix it at home. Recalling the past, Ma Xiaodong's depressed mood just now improved a little better.

"Little brother, why did you just come out, I've been waiting for you for a long time, let's go home and fix the fishing nets, or we won't be able to catch up." As soon as Yang Hailong saw his cousin come out, he immediately complained. He has been looking forward to going to fish at night, and if it doesn't happen because of an accident, he will cry so much that his heart will be full.

When Ma Xiaodong heard his cousin's words, he just nodded, "Don't worry, there is enough time, let's go." As he spoke, he sat on the back seat of the bike.

"Okay!" The excited Yang Hailong didn't notice that his cousin was a little depressed at all, happily pushed the bicycle, swished a few steps, and then rode and rushed home.

Ma Xiaodong didn't have the heart to see the scenery along the way, and was always immersed in inexplicable hurt and indignation. Suddenly, with a "bang", Ma Xiaodong only felt a pain in his buttocks, and the bicycle under the seat was turned upside down and fell again.

"Oh, why are you kid riding? You don't even see such a big pit?" The two almost fell on the side of the road, startling Ma Xiaodong, although the bicycle can't kill people, but if you fall at such a fast speed, it will definitely be uncomfortable.

"Hehe, I'm not in a hurry to go home, I didn't hide from that pit just now. ”

"Slow down, there is time, in the afternoon, what are the few small fishing nets that can't be finished? After being reprimanded by Ma Xiaodong, Yang Hailong was silent, and continued to ride with his head bored, but the speed was much slower than just now.

However, this thrilling encounter also made Ma Xiaodong come out of his low mood, and laughed at himself, he is really unproductive, is it worth worrying about such a thing? In the future, if you have the ability, you can help your hometown more. After figuring it out, Ma Xiaodong's mood improved a lot.

A few kilometers of road, it only took ten minutes to arrive by bicycle, and when he returned home, Ma Xiaodong first asked Yang Hailong to go home to find the No. 8 wire, which was used to make the Teng ring in front of the fishing net. Ma Xiaodong himself returned home, and as soon as he entered the house, he saw his father coming back. "Dad, have you bought the fishing nets back?"

Ma Hongguo was changing his boots, and he was going to go to the field to release water, "I bought it back, I bought it for you for a total of eight yuan, and I talked about the half-sky price with the seller of fishing nets, 4 cents a meter, a total of 20 meters." ”

Ma Xiaodong was happy when he heard it, but he didn't expect his father to buy him twice as much, but then he recalled that he seemed to be very afraid of his father when he was a child, but his father was really doting on him, no matter what he wanted, as long as he could do it, he would try his best.

I remember when I was in middle school, my family didn't have the money to buy a bicycle for myself, because at that time a permanent bicycle cost more than 300, and when I went to middle school, it was about the same as this month.

The parents discussed it and decided to let themselves ride a car with their cousin first, which is now a 28-year-old carry, and they didn't want to, feeling too embarrassed, because everyone in the same dormitory had bicycles, and finally my father went to build a ridge in the newly opened land for others, and it only took three days to earn a bicycle for himself, and finally he was so tired that he rested at home for a week.

At that time, in Ma Xiaodong's hometown, if you can earn 100 yuan a day, there are only two kinds of work, one is planting rice in the paddy field, and the job of planting rice gives people the feeling that Ma Xiaodong and their school teacher corporal punishment students pout, think about pouting for dozens of minutes can make people's tired legs tremble, planting rice is a day, and you have to keep walking in the mud that is not up to your knees, and your hands have to keep breaking seedlings and planting seedlings. This is basically the most uncomfortable kind of farm work. Therefore, if a person is fast and has good physical strength, he can earn a hundred yuan a day. Of course, there are only a dozen days of opportunity in a year.

The second is the ridge of the field, the paddy fields are all one by one, and there are ridges in the middle of the ridge to divide well, if there are many such field stalks, they must need to hire people. One meter and one dime, one hundred yuan, proves that it took my father three days to build a full 3,000 meters with a spade.

Ma Xiaodong has clearly remembered this incident all his life, and now he recalls that time, when his father was tired and lying on the kang and humming, he couldn't help but feel a throbbing pain in his heart. However, until his father was old, he was unable to make him happy, and his sister was taking care of his parents.

Looking at the fishing net in his hand, Ma Xiaodong secretly decided in his heart that he would never let his father suffer again in this life, he loved to drink, and he bought Moutai for him every day, he loved to talk big, he loved to show off, and he made him the envy of the whole village.

Ma Xiaodong looked at his father who lowered his head and sorted out his boots with red eyes, and said with a smile: "Dad, thank you." After saying that, he turned to leave, he didn't want his father to see his red eyes, because it would be embarrassing. With a fishing net, the first pot of gold in this life starts here.

Ma Hongguo looked at his son's back differently, smiled, and thought, 'When did this kid become so polite?' Thinking of his son's love letter of early love, he really couldn't cry or laugh.

Holding the fishing nets, Ma Xiaodong measured them, one meter each, a little shorter, and finally decided to have one meter per fishing net. The extra 10 centimeters are used as a pouring mouth, so that the fish cannot get out after getting in, and can be used even in places where the current is not very turbulent.

A total of 18 fishing nets were cut with scissors, and some wires were found at home, but it was not enough, it depends on the cousin's, if he found it was not enough, then there was no need to worry, you can use wicker, although it is a little soft, but it is not delayed to use, of course, it is best to be bamboo, but there is no such thing in the Northeast.

Fishing nets are sewn out, in fact, this thing is very simple, one by one, a round iron ring is sewn on one end, and tied at the other. In less than 5 minutes, Ma Xiaodong can make one. Yang Hailong was also angry, and the wire he brought was enough. Ma Xiaodong sewed the net, and he folded the wire into a loop.

The two worked together, had another meal in between, and finally made all the nets at about two o'clock in the afternoon. In addition to the 4 fishing nets that the family already had, the two put the 22 fishing nets into a fertilizer bag and went into the house to sleep.

Because the fish is done at night, it is best to get some sleep during the day. As for why the fish must be at night, there is a reason for this.
