Chapter 11: Catching Fish
Back in Chujiazhai, the fifth uncle had already organized people, a total of three people came, plus the fifth uncle a total of four. Seeing that Chu Jiaqiang pulled the materials back, several people came over to help unload the goods.
"Ouch! And the floor! These floors aren't cheap! A man said.
"Old house flooring?" Another person expressed confusion. He wondered in his heart, would it be a waste of extravagance to lay the floor in the old house?
"It seems that you kid really wants to stay in the village." The fifth uncle smiled.
Regarding why Chu Jiaqiang stayed, the fifth uncle also knew something inside. In fact, it is not an insider, although Chujiazhai is backward and the communication is not developed, the place is not big, and if you fart at the head of the village, you can smell it at the end of the village. In addition, the villagers have a little bit of gossip, and the news spreads quite quickly. Big things can spread throughout the village in a while.
He actually admired this kid's courage in his heart, he didn't do the high-paying job in the city, and ran back to generate that dusty income, and ordinary people really didn't have the determination and courage to do it.
"By the way, I can live more comfortably in the future." Chu Jiaqiang didn't feel anything wrong.
It's just that when these words fall into the ears of others, it's wrong. In order to be more comfortable, the idea of throwing so much money directly down is a bit crazy. I'm afraid it will be the most luxuriously decorated house in their Chu family village in the future, right? What makes people feel panicked is that this is still an old house.
Everyone unloaded the materials and moved them into the house. Chu Shengyi immediately set off and went to the next village to pull a cart of sand back.
The second uncle and others in the house were also confused, and one by one ten pieces of exquisite flooring were moved in, what was going on? Seeing Chu Jiaqiang coming in, the second uncle immediately asked, "Ah Qiang, are you going to lay the floor for this old house?" These floors aren't cheap, are they? ”
"Hmmm! I thought, since it's renovated, let's just fix it. The floor did use some money, but don't worry, second uncle, I know it in my heart. Chu Jiaqiang knew that the second uncle and second aunt would blame, and he was ready to be criticized.
"Alas! Forget it, now that it's pulled back. Hold your kid's money tightly in the future, and according to your kid's current usage, you don't need to marry a daughter-in-law directly. You haven't done anything to generate income yet, so this time you're going to make a big deal and see what you do in the future? The second uncle criticized him face to face, thinking, if you don't knock this kid now, you can save money in the future?
"Wow! Brother, I also want a room, come to live in the old house in the future, I ......" Chu Jiawan's little girl immediately became excited, but before she finished speaking, she was immediately knocked by the second aunt.
"You minx! You know that the enjoyment is what your brother is used to. The second aunt scolded and scolded, and scolded Chu Jiaqiang as well.
"Hee-hee!" Chu Jiawan made a grimace and squeezed her eyes at Chu Jia. Chu Jiaqiang suddenly touched his head in embarrassment, a little weak-hearted, he had indeed spoiled that girl before.
"Huh? Cuong: Why don't you buy a smaller TV? It's going to be boring here in the old house. The second aunt asked suddenly.
"Not for the time being, I'm going to move the computer back, by myself, there's no need to buy a TV." Chu Jiaqiang had already thought about it, and after he was ready to resign and come back, he would get a wireless network card by the way, and now a desktop computer can do the same.
When Chu Jiawan heard this, she was even more determined to live here for a while. First, although it is an old house, it is beautifully decorated and comfortable to live in. Second, there is Internet access here, and to be honest, until now, she has only seen a computer, and she has not really used it. In fact, the school also has a computer room, but those computers are all used for decoration, and I have never seen that computer room open in the two years of enrollment. Third, there are parents in charge of the family, and the old brother here can't take care of it, how free is it?
Chu Jiaqiang was also helpless, he also wanted to pull the network cable, but it was obviously unrealistic. The nearest Xiangzhu Village is a big village and quite wealthy, so it has opened a telecommunications point, but it is also five or six kilometers away, and it is impossible for people to pull a network cable for you as a guest.
"Before the sand arrives, I'll find someone else. Now that there is more flooring work, these people may not be able to finish it in two days. Originally, I wanted to pull Jiaxiong's kid over, but seeing that he got married yesterday, I let him go. The fifth uncle looked at the floors and calculated in his heart.
"That's troublesome Uncle Five." Chu Jiaqiang said with a smile.
Seeing that he couldn't help, Chu Jiaqiang carried the hoe to the orchard behind to hoe the grass. Chu Jiawan rolled her eyes, and she also followed, helping her eldest brother hoe the grass with beautiful words. The second uncle asked the second aunt to go home, catch a big rooster, and come here to kill the head of the stove.
"Oops! Brother, look! There are a lot of fish in this ditch, as well as yellow eels and river crabs. Chu Jiawan went out of the back door, and when she passed the ditch, she found that the one-meter-wide ditch was full of fish, which was very surprising.
"Don't scream, make a fuss, I saw this the day before yesterday." Although Chu Jiaqiang said this in his mouth, he was also very shocked in his heart.
"Brother, you wait! I'll go back and get a net, and we'll catch some big fish. Chu Jiawan immediately ran back to the old house, when she was cleaning the house with her parents just now, she found a net, which should still work.
Chu Jiaqiang nodded, he saw a few grass carp weighing five or six catties at a glance, wild grass carp, such a big is rare. He lowered the hoe slowly, approaching a river crab half the size of a palm. This river crab is also common in the Chujia River, but it is rare to see that big.
It is red all over its body, and its two pliers, one large and one small, are habitually raised. This thing is also quite arrogant, seeing Chu Jiaqiang's hoe stretched out, not only did not hide, but clamped the hoe.
Chu Jiaqiang immediately brought it up, it was too easy to catch this kind of river crab. As long as you put anything close to what its big pincers can hold, the river crab will be fooled without hesitation. Of course, if you are accidentally pinched by them, the consequences will be quite serious, and the wound will immediately be red and swollen like this river crab, which can hurt you for two or three days.
Chu Jiaqiang concocted the same method, caught five or six river crabs of that size in a row, and prepared to eat at noon. When I was a child, my favorite thing was to eat this kind of river crab, and thinking of the delicious crab paste inside, Chu Jiaqiang also swallowed his saliva. Chu Jiaqiang put them all on the ground, and those river crabs opened their teeth and claws, but they just couldn't run away.
His heart moved, and he received some small fish, shrimps, and crabs in the ditch, as well as some yellow eels into the mountain and river map, and threw them all into the stream.
As soon as she finished doing this, Chu Jiawan came over excitedly with a net bag.
"Huh! It seems to be a lot less. Brother, did you alarm them? ”
"No! In order to catch these overbearing guys. Chu Jiaqiang pointed to a few big river crabs on the ground and said.
"Wow! It's all that big! I want two at noon. "Chu Jiawan also likes these river crabs, they must be delicious when they are so big. After speaking, she took the net bag, walked lightly behind a grass carp, and quickly put the net bag in front of the grass carp.
Fishing is also very skillful, and it is easier for ordinary people to stand behind the fish and put the net pocket in front. When the fish sees movement behind them, they will immediately flee to the front, and rarely turn around and run away. Even if they find a trap ahead, most of them will only avoid it slightly. This is not to say that they are stupid, and many times the fish that will turn around and run away are more likely to fall into the net.
"Ahh What a big fish thief! Brother, you come to fish. ”
Chu Jiaqiang took it over and quickly scooped up the largest ones. To catch these fish, you must move quickly, otherwise, not only will you not be able to catch the fish, but you will be thrown in the water by it. They are wild and wild, and even though they have been diluted, they still benefit immensely. This can be seen from the fact that they are reluctant to leave even when they are in danger.
The two brothers and sisters took the big fish and river crabs they caught back to the old house, and the second uncle and others were surprised again. There are so many big fish hidden in the big ditch? Everyone speculated that maybe the few acres of land behind the house had not been gone for too long, and the ditch was naturally much safer, and it became the world of these fish.
Chu Jiaqiang asked everyone to take one back when they finished work. Those people naturally applauded, and it was cool to help this owner work, not to mention the artificial height, and there were still things to bring back.
