Chapter 07 Someone wants to learn to fish with Zhang Zhun
(0007)
Yang Ruifeng came back from collecting firewood, and when he heard that Zhang Zhun had caught so many fish, he was also very happy, and praised Zhang Zhun rarely: "Yulin, good job, our father didn't see the wrong person!" ”
He is a stuffy gourd, and he rarely speaks, and it is even more difficult for him to praise others than to ascend to the sky. Today is unprecedented. Indeed, he was starving. Eat wild vegetables every day, eat grass roots, have no meat to eat, have no oil and water in the stomach, and prepare hundreds of catties of firewood every day. From Laoshan to Yangjiatun, the distance is not close, carrying more than 100 catties of firewood, going back and forth twice a day, in fact, tired enough. When I heard that there was fish to eat, I couldn't help but have an appetite.
When the father and son were talking, Yang Yinghan and Huang were already busy by the well, fetching water and killing fish. The little girl Yang Lingxue and the little brother Yang Gansheng were also on the side to help and help. Because there was only one well, the neighbors who were given the fish also killed the fish at the well. A group of women gathered together and whispered happy words, which temporarily diluted the sad atmosphere
Because the money and grain have been in arrears for too long, last year's New Year and Lantern Festival, Yangjiatun was lifeless, and there was no laughter at all. The worst thing was yesterday's Lantern Festival, I went to make trouble in the morning, and I came back scarred in the afternoon, and three people died, and the women were crying, which was really miserable.
Zhang Zhun noticed that when Yang Kaide saw this scene, the corners of his eyes were actually a little moist. To be honest, I haven't seen such a scene for a long time. A few fish are happy to be like this, the life of the military households is still too bitter! However, Zhang Zhun didn't expect that more tearful things were still to come. If he had come to this world to experience it himself, he would never have believed it.
After receiving two fish, the three dead military families actually put one of them together with the corpse, and then swept it with grass, and buried it hastily. Yang Kaide, who was in charge of burying them, said to the sky with tears in his eyes: "Li Laowu, Wu Xiaoqi, Zhang Ying, I'm sorry for you as an elder brother." There's nothing to accompany you on your way, so take this fish with you. ”
The scene was full of crying and mourning.
Zhang Zhun really couldn't stand it, so he carried a bamboo gun, went to Red Rock Beach, and came back with more than a dozen fish, and handed them over to Yang Kaide.
In the end, every soldier who was killed took five fish on the road.
It is said that this is the "most grand" funeral in Yangjiatun for many years.
In the past, when a military family died, they were all buried with strips, and it was impossible to have anything to accompany the burial. Even the clothes on their bodies must be stripped off and left for their children and grandchildren to continue to wear, and they cannot be easily wasted.
This is the true portrayal of the Yangjiatun military household.
This is the true portrayal of the poor people of the Ming Dynasty.
After returning from the funeral, Zhang Zhun always felt that his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't vent his emotions. Eventually, he came to Redrock Beach again, stood on the rocks, roared at the waves, and finally ran two laps along the Red Rock Beach, and then jumped into the icy waters for half an hour to swim a little better.
Back in the shantytown, Zhang Zhun stood in the middle of the clearing, not knowing what he was thinking. All this in front of me is really uncomfortable, what I see and hear, it is heartbreaking and tear-jerking. However, he faintly felt excitement. Because, the rebellious thoughts hidden in his heart became active again.
In order to achieve the goal of changing the course of history, direct rebellion is undoubtedly the most effective way. If you want to rebel, you need people, you have to have a team, and you have to have a base. This is the experience that Zhang Zhun summed up after reading a lot of history books. No one, no base, at most can only become a short-lived rogue, and absolutely cannot become a big thing.
Aren't these people in Yangjiatun the best team?
Isn't Fushan a good base?
Yang Yinghan appeared beside him and said softly, "Yulin, what's wrong with you?" ”
Zhang Zhun reluctantly lifted his spirits and said in a deep voice: "I'm fine, I'm fine." ”
Yang Yinghan looked at him with some concern, and stopped talking.
Zhang Zhun barely squeezed out a smile and said, "I'm really fine, really." ”
Yang Yinghan glanced at him deeply, and then turned around.
Zhang Zhun rubbed his palms vigorously, and broke each other with both hands, bending all the joints to a snapping sound, as if only by torturing himself like this could he vent his inner depression and grievances. rebellion, he was already a little impatient.
Well, Zhang Zhun admits that he is indeed in a bit of a hurry. However, the grievances he suffered in his previous life were so great that he lost his mind a little. Now, as long as he grabs any straw that changes his fate, he will refuse to let go.
The rat didn't know where to go, and it took a long time to come back. When he returned, he was followed by five young men. He brought the five of them to Zhang Zhun and said with an unnatural expression: "Brother, a few of them want to learn how to fish with you!" ”
Zhang Zhun glanced at the five young men, they looked okay, their height should be more than one meter seven, but their faces were hungry and their eyes were a little yellow. No way, there is a general lack of oil and water! A fish makes the neighbors happy like this, which shows that the usual life is difficult.
"Yulin, I'm Yang Zhiyuan, nicknamed Tiger Head ......"
Because the mouse greeted him in advance, saying that Zhang Zhun had forgotten a lot of previous things. The five people each reported their names, respectively called Yang Qianqiang, Yang Junjie, Yang Zixuan, Yang Hongwen, and Yang Zhiyuan, all of which were given by the family. Usually they don't call names, they are all nicknames.
Tiger Head is Yang Zhiyuan's nickname, and he is one of the more powerful of the five. He also participated in the day's troubles, and he was hit on the left shoulder, and now there are large bruises. His father was also injured and hit on the back, and he is still unable to fully straighten up. However, he didn't lose anything, and he also pressed one of the other party's family members to the ground and beat him up.
Yang Zixuan, nicknamed Xiucai, is said to know a few words and knows arithmetic, and is the most weak. Yang Qianqiang's nickname is parallel goods, I don't know why he has such a nickname. Yang Junjie is nicknamed the grasshopper, but he is actually quite handsome, and he doesn't know how to get involved with the grasshopper. Yang Hongwen is actually quite Sven, nicknamed General, I don't know if it's sarcasm or praise.
The four of them also participated in the day's troubles, and some people in the family were also injured. In terms of relationship, the elders in their family are the most familiar with Yang Kaide, and they are the main force of trouble. They all migrated from Huguang, and they are all surnamed Yang, and in this foreign land, it is unlikely that the relationship is not close.
"Okay!"
"Each of you prepares a bamboo gun, six feet long and one inch wide, with one pointed end and one blunt, and wait for me at Red Rock Beach tomorrow morning."
Zhang Zhun said briskly.
Brothers on the same front, I can't ask for it!
He was originally a martial arts school fighting instructor, and he was specifically responsible for teaching students fighting skills. From the perspective of rebellion, these people are the most primitive team! As long as you guide and incite them a little, you can guarantee that they will all become howling man-eating tigers!
"Thank you, Yulin!"
Yang Zhiyuan and the other five went with great expectations.
The mouse waited for the five of them to walk away before he lowered his voice and said, "Brother Yulin, are you really willing to pass on this craft to them?" ”
Zhang Zhun said strangely: "Why don't you want to?" ”
The mouse said with some concern: "In that case, you may have fewer fish." ”
Zhang Zhun understood, and said with a smile: "You, you are really a small farmer. ”
But we can't blame the rattle, we Chinese are used to keeping a hand when teaching the craft, so as not to teach the apprentice and starve the master to death. If Zhang Zhun tried to make a living by tying fish, or even make a fortune, the mouse's advice was not unreasonable.
The question is, how could the rat know what Zhang Zhun really thought? He feels that having fish to eat every day is already a very happy thing. However, for Zhang Zhun, will he be satisfied with eating fish every day? Satisfied with only the dead fish to be buried?
"Eat fish every day......
Zhang Zhun really couldn't imagine what it was like.
Why can others eat big fish and meat, but they can only eat fish?
Why can others wear silk and satin, but they can only wear torn cotton wool?
Why did he owe his money and food, and beat himself rudely?
If you don't give me an explanation, I'll give you an explanation!
That's what the sages said, and that's what they did.
Zhang Zhun is ready to do the same!
"It smells so good!"
When night falls, the whole Yangjiatun is filled with the fragrance of stewed fish.
"It's time to eat!"
The little girl Yang Lingxue screamed happily.
Yang Ruifeng helped his father Yang Kaide up, sorted out the kang, put it on the small table, and prepared to eat. In poor families, it is definitely impossible for a dining table or something like that to exist, and meals are all on the kang. After eating, remove the table, tidy up, and go to bed again.
Zhang Zhun and the rat also sat down. There are eight people in the family, just four on each side. Yang Kaide is the head of the family and sits in the innermost. Below are Yang Ruifeng, Zhang Zhun, and Mouse, Yang Dangsheng and his mother Huang, sister Yang Yinghan, and sister Yang Lingxue sat on the other side. Zhang Zhun's position happened to be facing Yang Yinghan, I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional.
The first choice is fish head mushroom soup.
When the military families caught a big fish, the most important thing was to boil fish head soup. For military households who have been lacking nutrition for a long time, fish head soup is very replenishing. Of course, it would be nice to get some tofu. Unfortunately, the Yang family does not have soybeans, and they have no money to buy soybeans, so there is no need to think about tofu.
In the end, Yang Yinghan put some mushrooms picked back in the morning, added a little herbs, and mixed them to cook together, although the taste is not as good as the fish head tofu soup, the nutrition is to win. It is also a good match for the injured three.
There are still a lot of soup made by two big fish heads, and each person has at least two sea bowls, so everyone can drink it with an open stomach. It may have been a long time since I had drunk such a thick fish head soup, and everyone except Zhang Zhun drank it with relish. The rat is the most exaggerated, and after pouring two bowls in a row, he was not satisfied, and a third bowl came. Looking at him, he was ready to support himself to death.
Yang Kaide drank a bowl of soup comfortably, put down the sea bowl, and said with emotion: "Yulin, Uncle is a blessing to you for this meal!" ”
The people of the Yang family all held bowls and looked at Zhang Zhun.
Yang Yinghan's gaze was even more focused.
Zhang Zhun smiled and said, "Uncle, don't say that, if you hadn't taken me in, Uncle, maybe I would...... Anyway, as long as our family wants to eat fish in the future, come to me! ”
After a slight pause, Zhang Zhun raised the sea bowl and said in a deep voice: "I am stunned to thank each of you!" If it weren't for your care, I wouldn't be stunned today! Therefore, I will definitely try my best to repay you for your kindness! I believe that we will get better and better in the future! ”
When Zhang Zhun said this, his tone was unusually sincere, and there were even faint tears in the corners of his eyes. A manly man, who bleeds without tears. However, at this moment, Zhang Zhun didn't care about his tears. Because, Zhang Zhun seems to feel that he has returned to the afterlife, back to his old father's side. The long-awaited feelings finally got a little catharsis. With relatives and without relatives, it's two different worlds!
The corners of Huang's eyes couldn't help but be a little moist.
The Yang family originally had five children, and with Zhang Zhun, it was six. Zhang Zhun's amount of food is larger than that of ordinary children, she and Yang Kaide are two, and it is not easy to pull all six children together! The military households are already poor, and money and food are often in arrears, how many people know about the hardships in the middle?
