21. Catch fish
"What nonsense are you talking about? How do I go to a deep pool to catch fish? Zhou Aiguo saw that Zhou Aiqin reacted so much, so he hurriedly defended.
"Really?" Zhou Aiqin's eyes couldn't help but look at Zhou Aiguo's left hand.
Zhou Aiguo has a habit that as long as he lies, his left little thumb will subconsciously tilt up.
"I didn't go into the water, I fished with a fishing rod on the shore." Zhou Aiguo was afraid that Zhou Aiqin would not believe it, so he added: "He Dazhu asked me to help get a fishing rod, and he invited me to his house for a meal after he caught the fish." ”
Zhou Aiqin could see clearly, and when Zhou Aiguo said this, his left little thumb was upturned.
Zhou Aiqin's heart sank.
The brothers of her mother's family are Zhou Aiqin's "dependent"! But nothing can happen.
Thinking of this, Zhou Aiqin said anxiously: "Big brother, you can't go into the water to catch fish!" In that place in the deep pool, there is an evil door! You shouldn't have forgotten, right? Twenty years ago, Uncle Xiangle ······"
"Okay, okay, don't mention Wu Xiangle's bad luck, your eldest brother and I are lucky!" Zhou Aiguo said unhappily.
Wu Xiangle is the former captain of Dahuang Village, who took people to the deep pool to catch fish 20 years ago and drowned in the deep pool.
The current captain Wu Youtian is Wu Xiangle's eldest son. After Wu Xiangle's death, Wu Youtian repeatedly ordered that the villagers of the Great Wilderness Mountain were not allowed to go to the deep pool to catch fish. Otherwise, it will be dealt with as the crime of stealing collective property.
Zhou Aiguo saw Zhou Aiqin yelling at him not to catch fish, and his face turned black.
Fortunately, only their family lives in this mountain col, and it would be strange if others knew that he and He Zhuzi had "stole" the fish in the deep pool, and they would not be caught by the militia and criticized.
Zhou Aiqin saw that Zhou Aiguo lowered his face, and he didn't dare to continue to talk crookedly, so he had to tell Zhou Aiguo about his plans: "Big brother, I'm planning to get you and your second brother a good house to live in!" When the time comes, you will live in a bright blue brick house, and the good days are still ahead, but don't be dazzled by a few fish fans. ”
"Blue brick house? The Lin family's? Sure enough, Zhou Aiguo's attention was attracted by the blue brick and tiled house. Zhou Aiqin's words of exhortation were directly ignored by Zhou Aiguo.
In the entire village of Dahuang Village, only Lin Susu's family has a blue brick house. Even the captain Wu Youtian's house was only an adobe wall with a roof covered with tiles. Compared with the blue brick house of Lin Susu's family, it is a grade lower.
"Yes! Su Xiaoqiao is not a good girl of my dead old woman! Now that she is dead, she will leave a ten-year-old girl, and she will not rely on my Su family to live in the future? Don't worry, big brother, I will definitely find a way to get you the house. Iron hammer and copper hammer The brothers have grown up, and there is no place to live at home, how can they say about their daughter-in-law in the future? Zhou Aiqin is really heartfelt to her mother's family, and she directly said her plans.
Listening to Zhou Aiqin talk about his two sons, Zhou Aiguo's only remaining bit of alcohol has flown away.
Oh, yes! The iron hammer is eighteen this year, and the copper hammer is sixteen. In the countryside, an eighteen-year-old boy should have said goodbye a long time ago. It's because the family is so poor that they don't even have a place to live, the hammer is so big, and there is no matchmaker to come to the door!
By the time the hammer was eighteen years old, the hammer would be twenty. This marriage can't be delayed, Zhou Aiguo's two younger brothers, just because they have been delayed again and again, and they are in their thirties, and their families are poor, and they can't even be said to be widows.
The Lin family's house is ready-made, with those six blue brick houses, are their two sons afraid that they will not be able to marry their daughters-in-law? If you really want to make money by catching fish to build a house, I don't know what year and month it is!
Thinking of this, Zhou Aiguo asked eagerly: "Little sister, how do you get it?" Let your mother-in-law ask the daughter of the Lin family to let us live in the house? Will she? When Su Xiaoqiao was alive, your mother-in-law was more considerate to her than her own children and grandchildren! ”
"Alas! That's it! The dead old woman didn't know what medicine she had taken wrong, and she refused to open this mouth, no? I'm also out of line, so I want to go home and ask my dad for an idea! Now that the words have been said, Zhou Aiqin didn't hide it anymore, and told Zhou Aiguo about the "confrontation" between Lin Susu and Wu Fengjiao when he just went to Lin Susu's house.
"Little sister, your mother-in-law is unwilling to do this, it's really a bit difficult to do." After Zhou Aiguo listened to Zhou Aiqin's words, his brows furrowed.
"Big brother, you wait for Dad to come back and tell him about it, he is an old man with a lot of knowledge, and he will definitely be able to think of a good way. I won't delay, I have to go home and cook for Xiaohui Xiaoxia! Zhou Aiqin saw that the words had been brought, and she didn't want to stay any longer.
There are still a bunch of housework waiting for her to go back to do at home, and Zhou Aiqin feels upset when she thinks about it.
"Okay, you can take the time to come back tomorrow and see if Dad has anything to say." Zhou Aiguo actually had an idea in his heart, but he didn't say it.
The woman's hair is long and her knowledge is short, and Zhou Aiguo is afraid that after Zhou Aiqin hears his plan, she will be shocked and ruin his big thing.
After Zhou Aiqin left, Zhou Aiguo hummed a little song and walked to He Zhuzi's house.
Zhou Aiguo rubbed it at He Zhuzi's house at noon, and felt that the bottled liquor He Zhuzi brought back from the town was really good.
Anyway, there is no food at home tonight, so he might as well go to He Zhuzi's house to rub it again, and discuss with He Zhuzi by the way, how the two of them should "share the spoils" if they catch fish in the future.
This morning, Zhou Aiguo and He Zhuzi went to the deep pool together, not to fish, but to take a stun gun and poke the fish.
There are so many fish in the deep pool, but no one dares to fish in the big desert village, Zhou Aiguo feels that it is a pity. Can't get into the water? Can't he still stand on the shore and "poke" a couple of fish with an electric gun?
The stun gun was "getted" by Zhou Aiguo when he went to the town.
The idea was thought of by He Zhuzi. To be exact, it was He Zhuzi's brother-in-law Liu Jiansheng who thought about it.
He Zhuzi's younger sister He Shuilian, her mother-in-law's family is from Liuhe Town.
He Zhuzi's brother-in-law, Liu Jiansheng, is a teacher and a college student. Liu Jiansheng has a rather reluctant temperament, I don't know if he reads too much, and his brain is a little rigid. Usually everyone talks and brags, but Liu Jiansheng also likes to be more serious and analyze things from a scientific point of view.
Dahuang Village, when the road to the town was not repaired a few years ago, was really remote.
But such a remote village is blessed with a few lush green hills at its back, and a small stream flows through the entrance of the village.
The water of the creek is formed by the water of mountain springs on several mountains, and the volume of water is not large, but it does not dry up all year round. The water used by the people of Dahuang Village is all taken from the water in the creek.
This creek is called Peach Blossom Creek. From the direction of the Great Wilderness Mountain, it flows to the side of the Great Wilderness Village. Then it flows to the direction of Liuhe Town and joins the Qingshui River.
The width of this section of the river that Peach Blossom Creek flows through in Dahuang Village is only about two meters. The stream is not deep, and when an adult stands down, the deepest part is no deeper than his knees.
