Chapter Twenty-Seven: Old Classmates
"Mouse, you guys are really good here, much stronger than our town, you don't know that we have recently opened a small paper mill there, all day long smoke and miasma, every time to open the furnace, the windows are closed, the financial office is more than a mile away from the paper mill, but the fish in the pond are dead." Pang Xu stood under the willow tree, and kept hitting the heads of the yellow eels sticking out of the ditch with small wooden sticks, as if it was getting more and more interesting.
"I said that you kid is not serious, is it, Lao Tzu's yellow eel is still sold for money," Seeing that he was getting more and more energetic, Liu Junhao hurriedly snatched the stick down, and his voice caused two girls who were watching watermelons under the tree to laugh quietly.
"Grandma, how about you give me a little face." Pang Xu muttered quietly, then sat on the big bluestone by the ditch and called again, "It's so cool"
The big bluestone has been thrown under the tree, there is no sun exposure, the bottom is wet and moss, and there is a large chrysanthemum lotus on the ground.
"You kid and Xu Xiaoli haven't hooked up yet, won't they?" Liu Junhao also sat on the stone opposite.
"Ahem, what are you talking about, what should I do if I let Xiaoli hear it" Seeing that the two girls didn't shift their attention here, he said proudly: "My buddy has already gone to Xiaoli's house, and his parents are still quite satisfied with me, saying that our affairs will be talked about until graduation, but you are also living a very leisurely life, when you just dropped out of school, I thought that when I saw you again, I must have become a standard mountain man, followed by a runny nose and a small child wearing open crotch pants." ”
"Fuck your uncle, you're going to be like this" Liu Junhao slapped him on the knee.
The two chatted like this, and they hadn't seen each other for several years, and they were a little emotional, and it was false to say that Liu Junhao was unhappy.
"By the way, are all those classmates in our high school okay?" After chatting for a while, Liu Junhao remembered other classmates.
"Even if you kid has a conscience, if you don't ask today, I will have to ruin your reputation when I go back, saying that you have no conscience." Pang Xu then sighed: "I went to college and went to college, I worked part-time, I had a party during the Chinese New Year last year, but the people were always uneven, and a few classmates asked you to come." But your kid left simply at that time, and no one had your contact information, if I hadn't come to Liujiagou this time, I'm afraid I don't know when I would be able to see you. But you kid is a character in the end, making such a big move, just like the book says, when the wind and clouds change. ”
", when did you kid learn to tell fortunes" Liu Junhao knew that he was joking, and he didn't care, "Damn, you hurry up and put on your sneakers, you have athlete's foot, I knew when I slept on your top bunk." ”
"It's okay, I'll wash my feet with the water from your ditch." Pang Xu said as he stretched his big feet into the cold ditch.
The flowing water is not rotten, although the water in Liu Junhao's yard is not living water, but those yellow eels often move back and forth, plus he deliberately threw some duckweed in the ditch, the water has always been very clear.
"Are you unwilling to kill Lao Tzu's yellow eel today, your feet are so stinky" Liu Junhao looked at this kid and gritted his teeth with hatred.
"Ah, there's something gnawing at my feet, what kind of fish is too bold, it's so comfortable, isn't this the legendary fish therapy?" Pang Xu was amazed, and then the big-footed board stirred in the water.
"You kid...... What kind of fish therapy is this" Liu Junhao knew that what gnawed Pang Xu's stinky feet was just the meat and wheat raised in the pool, this kind of fish was not too afraid of people but did not grow big, the largest was only seven or eight centimeters long, and the small one was less than one centimeter. In the summer, when you bathe in the river, as long as you stand still in the water, a large group of meat and wheat will swim over, bite your legs, and gnaw on the dander of the human body.
That feeling is very comfortable, and Liu Junhao likes to lie in shallow water when he is fine, letting the meat and wheat bite his old skin.
Pang Xu didn't stretch out his feet until he soaked the big feet white, shook off the water and asked: "Mouse, I said that you seem to be very profitable raising yellow eels, I heard from the people in your village when I came, it's not a problem to earn two or three thousand yuan a month, right?" ”
"It's okay, it's enough to live," he sells sporadically in Huangshan these days, and there is no accurate number, but there are still two or three thousand yuan a month.
"It's still you kid, I don't know where to find a job after graduation, I don't know where to find a job after graduation, I went to a broken college and didn't go to it" Pang Xu said with some disappointment, he is now worried about finding a job next year, now the university has been expanding, the employment situation is becoming increasingly severe, and many people have not found a job after graduating for a year or two.
"Don't worry, take your time, when are you leaving?" Liu Junhao, who often saw the problem of college students' difficulty in finding employment, knew that the more he talked about this topic, the more depressed he became, so he changed the topic.
"Why, you kid wants to drive me away so soon, tell you, buddy won't leave today, you have to eat poor kid." Pang Xu said with a grin.
"You are leaving today is your grandson, Lao Tzu was going to ask you when you are leaving, bring you a few catties of yellow eels back, look at your grandson's villainous heart, I will tell Xu Xiaoli about your high school for a while, and I will go to the girls' toilet to peep when I take the exam." Thinking of his ugly deeds, Liu Junhao couldn't stop laughing.
"Hey, rat, you're too unrighteous, big brother...... Brother Liu, you can't frame me. When Pang Xu heard him say this, he suddenly became anxious.
It's quite interesting to talk about this matter, when they went to the county No. 1 middle school to take the exam, the school's toilet was not a sign written on the top of the board with men and women, but replaced with a villain's head, of course, there was English next to it. Pang Xu was very anxious at the time, and he didn't pay attention to the brand, but rushed in with his pants in a hurry, and Liu Junhao didn't have time to hold him behind him.
After a while, I saw a girl with eyes also go in, and then I heard a scream, only to see the girl run out, and Pang Xu walked out leisurely, which made Liu Junhao stunned.
Under his repeated questioning, Pang Xu was about to come out of the scene at that time, it turned out that he was washing his hands on the faucet, and he was surprised to see a woman come in, only to notice that he actually ran into the women's toilet, at that time he said without changing his face and heartbeat, "Classmate, you entered the wrong toilet, this is the men's toilet." ”
The woman was probably also a student from another school who took the entrance examination, and she couldn't tell the difference in a hurry, so she ran out with a red face.
Afterwards, Pang Xu proudly declared that he had quick wit, and if ordinary people were afraid that they would be regarded as hooligans at that time.
"No, you wronged Lao Tzu just now, and I will poke you out of this matter." Liu Junhao just wanted to see how he looked deflated.
"Dude, I'm afraid you won't be able to make it, it's a big deal, how about buddy introduce you to a girlfriend, what do you think of Zhang Qian?"
"You'd better get your family Xu Xiaoli done first," Liu Junhao knew that he had changed the subject, so he didn't care.
At this time, the hairy boy shouted in the front yard: "Uncle, I picked the black melon you wanted." ”
"I'm here, send it over" Liu Junhao responded, and saw the hairy boy walking over with a basket in both hands, and Xiaopi followed behind him, sticking out his tongue incessantly.
"So many, didn't I just let you pick seven or eight?" Liu Junhao saw that he was carrying a large basket full of black peeled melons, and hurriedly greeted him and caught it, which was seventeen or eighteen pounds. "Give ten yuan, which is melon money, and take it to the consignment point of the bald old man in the village to buy sugar."
Originally, there were no shops in the village, but since there were more and more people in the city here, the consignment point of Bald Eight came into being, and it was quite prosperous.
"Don't want money, my mother said, I often go to your yard to pick vegetables, and you haven't asked for money, this black peeled melon is for you to taste."
"Good boy, uncle has a guest here at noon, you will eat here in a while, accompany me to the guest." Liu Junhao didn't give money anymore when he heard it, whoever came to the yard picked a handful of vegetables and fruits, he never said anything, anyway, he couldn't eat it himself, rather than rotting in the ground, it was better to give it to the villagers. Rural people are real, and they remember a little bit of human affection, so they often don't want money when they go to the village to buy some things.
"No, I'm going home, my mother won't let me bother you" The hairy boy turned around and was about to leave.
"Don't go, why don't you listen to your uncle, if you leave, don't make dates in your uncle's yard." People send so many black peeled melons, and it can't be said that they don't stay for a meal.
Speaking of this here, Pang Xu had already washed a few black melons in the ditch and called Xu Xiaoli for them to come and eat.
The black melon is a native product of Daqingshan, which looks a little like a watermelon, but it is actually a kind of melon, which is very large, and the flesh inside is particularly sweet and fragrant, but the skin is particularly thick.
"Well, this melon is delicious, it's so sweet" Here Pang Xu had already cut a large piece with the knife on the key chain, holding it and gnawing it.
