After everything was done, Chen Jingshan still guarded the yellow eel pond and kept adding water, the newly made pool absorbed water very much, and it would be able to suck the water dry after a while, if the yellow eel did not add water in time, the yellow eel would die.

Seeing that Chen Jingshan regarded these yellow eels as if they were golden treasures, after Chen Dahai washed his hands, he took a cigarette stick and lit it, sat aside and smoked a cigarette and asked:

"Jingshan, are you really not going to go to school? No one has ever sold this thing, and I'm afraid it's unrealistic for you to sell it for money. ”

"Dad, don't worry, I know it." Chen Jingshan touched his head and said, "Not only can you sell it for money, but you won't have to work in the future, I'll go to the town to open a commissary for you." ”

"You kid, you haven't even scratched the eight characters, so you're thinking about how to spend it," Zhao Xiuzhi walked out of the house and glared at him angrily, with a little blame and doting in his eyes.

Chen Jingshan sneered and didn't answer anymore, he hadn't experienced this kind of look from his mother for a long time.

As the saying goes, parents are at home.

In his previous life, he only cared about working hard outside, so busy that he neglected his father and mother at home, but at this moment, he felt that as long as he was at home, it was a great happiness.

"Jingshan, don't guard your golden baby, hurry up and eat," Zhao Xiuzhi urged again.

"Here we are."

After filling the eel pond with water again, Chen Jingshan walked into the house.

Stir-fried bacon with dried chili, stir-fried shredded potatoes, vegetable tofu, and simple meals are particularly fragrant to him.

"Brother, you eat slowly, I won't rob you," Chen Lingyan pushed the plate containing the meat in front of Chen Jingshan as he spoke.

"You also eat more meat to grow your body,"

Now Chen Jingshan doesn't like meat very much, he smiled and sandwiched a few pieces of meat for his sister, as for his parents, he didn't clip it, and they wouldn't want it.

When parents are like this, when there are few things, they will always leave them for their children to eat under the excuse that they don't like to eat and are tired of eating, unless they have a big meal of fish and meat.

"Jingshan, why don't you go to school, you and Changgui's baby have been admitted to college in the past few years, if you don't go, I'm afraid that Changgui and his daughter-in-law will have their noses tilted to the sky in the future." Zhao Xiuzhi looked at him with pity on her face.

"Mom, don't worry, at most two months, you will be a big celebrity in the village."

"You kid!"

The family didn't get too involved in this topic and began to eat quietly.

……………………

This year, there were no incandescent lights in the countryside, and all light bulbs were used like glass balls, and the brightness of the dim yellow lights depended on the wattage.

Chen Jingshan's room was a twenty-watt one, emitting a dull yellow glow, and he sat at his humble desk, constantly calculating the profits from selling yellow eels with a pen in his hand.

This year, pork is only three yuan a catty, if the yellow eel sells for a piece of five pounds, one hundred catties is one hundred and fifteen, and the people in the village occasionally go to help others to do work for only more than ten or twenty yuan, if they sell two hundred catties at a time, they can be worth the wages of others for fifteen days.

It was also last year that Zhao Xiuzhi fell ill and went to the county hospital for 13,000 to be cured, and basically borrowed all the places that could be borrowed in order to treat the disease.

The family owes more than 10,000 yuan, and Chen Jingshan has always kept it in his heart.

In three months, I have to let my sister go to school first, and then pay off the family's debts, 13,000 yuan, if you just sell yellow eels, you have to have eight or nine thousand catties of yellow eels to have so much money, of course, you can also do some other business, but you can't be in a hurry when you have to go step by step.

Putting down the ballpoint pen in his hand, Chen Jingshan rubbed his eyes before returning to the bed.

"Today is August 15th, and there are still fourteen days before Yun Na goes to school, so if you go to the county seat early, you may be able to meet Yun Na."

Thinking of this, Chen Jingshan felt a little more steady, he seemed to sleep a lot better when he was younger, and he slept on the bed.

…………

Early the next morning, Chen Jingshan got up and began his eel fishing plan, sacks, buckets, and salt.

When I walked out of the door, I saw Zhao Xiuzhi sitting next to the yellow eel pond with a bench and watering it, and her sister Chen Lingyan was also playing with the yellow eel that crawled out with a stick.

Chen Jingshan smiled helplessly and said, "Mom, you don't have to stay there, just change the water three or four times a day, as long as the water doesn't dry up, it's not so easy to die,"

"Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I should take a break, I also threw some earthworms into it in the morning, and you will only weigh the scales when you eat too much,"

Zhao Xiuzhi ignored Chen Jingshan, still sitting next to the pool and watering, although she was a countryman and couldn't read big characters, she also had her own little cleverness.

"I'll sell it tomorrow, and I won't lose much weight," After speaking, Chen Jingshan looked at his sister who was still playing with the yellow eel: "Don't play, hurry up and review, and I'll send you to the county seat to go to school in a few days, and my brother will provide you with study." ”

"Brother, my mother said that there is no money at home." Chen Lingyan said weakly, Zhao Xiuzhi looked at Chen Jingshan, he always felt that his son seemed to be different, and she couldn't tell what was different.

Then he said to Chen Lingyan: "Listen to your brother, if he really makes money, he will provide you with education, and we will provide for you when the family debt is repaid." ”

"Thank you, brother, Mom, then you are watching here, whether I can go to school or not depends on this." Chen Lingyan had a smile on her face and immediately ran back to her room.

"Mom, don't worry about it, I'll sell it tomorrow, this yellow eel really doesn't die so easily." After speaking, Chen Jingshan walked straight towards the paddy field.

He will not shout at his parents without saying a word like the stunned young boy in the past, as long as there is no big problem, as long as it is what they like to do, then it is up to them, not only is it not good to talk too much, but it is easy to quarrel.

A flat land at the foot of the mountain was transformed into a paddy field, and Xiaohu and Tielin, two little boys, sat on the ridge and waited boredly, and the two big oxen were tied to the mountain not far away.

Chen Jingshan looked at the cow, and guessed in his heart that these two little guys helped him catch the yellow eel today, if he didn't put the cow full, he would probably be beaten again.

However, Chen Jingshan had already prepared a good idea to save them from the pain of flesh and skin.

Seeing Chen Jingshan's arrival, Xiaohu and Tie Lin shouted that they had to see the spicy strips before they started working.

Chen Jingshan smiled dumbly, and only after giving a brain melon collapse did he take out the spicy strips from his pocket and give them to them.

"If you do a good job, you will have two packs per person tomorrow!"

"Brother Shan's atmosphere!"

"Brother Shan, don't worry, don't underestimate us children."

The shallow water in the paddy field was trampled on with a dull sound, and there were splashes everywhere, and three figures, one large, two small, and three figures shuttled through the fields.

From morning to night, the three of them caught about 120 catties of eels, the snakeskin bag was full, plus half a bucket, and even some yellow eels crawled out of the bucket directly with twisting and twisting.

Chen Jingshan is not a good person, and he has never been in the habit of releasing things when he catches them.

This didn't make it difficult for Chen Jingshan, only at the cost of two packs of spicy strips, Xiaohu volunteered to take off his pants, cover the bucket with the waist of his trousers, and tie two dead knots on his trouser legs, this method is very reliable!

It was still early, Chen Jingshan glanced at the shriveled belly of the two little farts and children, and they didn't eat much grass at all, so he took out a handful of salt from his pocket and motioned for the two little ghosts to reach out and take it.

"Brother Shan, is this white sugar?"

"Salt, fill the cow, and lead it to the river, remember, don't let it drink too much."

"Hehe, Brother Shan is really a college student, there are all kinds of methods!" Tie Lin grinned.

"Bullshit, the teacher doesn't know how to herd cows, how can these moves be the third brother's own way!"

Xiaohu and Tie Lin walked towards their cattle and began to pour salt.

Chen Jingshan grinned, this method was actually taught to him by his fellow playmates in the same village who were older than him, as long as the salt was appropriate, the cow would not be thirsty when it was full, and the adults would not say anything when they saw the cow's belly bulging when they went home, but if the cow lost weight too many times, it would be in trouble......

There were too many yellow eels and they couldn't help, the two little guys led the cow home, Chen Jingshan began to pour the yellow eel, and tossed twice before getting them all back.

With today's yellow eel, the pool is already full, but it has also been improved by Zhao Xiuzhi, she used a small wooden stick to insert a circle around the pool, and then surrounded a layer with tiles.

Looking at the solid pool, Chen Jingshan decided, if this is the case, he will still crawl out, and immediately disembowel, wash it and prepare to go to the pot.

"Jingshan, you watch here, I'll cook."

Zhao Xiuzhi was not worried that there was no one next to the yellow eel pond, and she had been here for almost a day, and now that Chen Jingshan was back, she was relieved to leave.

Chen Lingyan walked out with the textbook, squatted beside Chen Jingshan and pointed to a question on the book and said, "Brother, I don't know this question, can you tell me about it,"

As a high school student who has just graduated, it is naturally difficult for Chen Jingshan to speak clearly in a few words.

Originally, Chen Jingshan was going to go to his eldest brother's house after eating, but Zhao Xiuzhi's meal was not ready, but he waited for Xiaohu's mother Zhao Erniang first.

Before anyone could see her, I heard her voice: "Chen Jingshan! You bastard out for the old lady! Did you fool Xiaohu into taking off his pants and pretending to be a yellow eel for you? ”

Hearing this voice, Chen Jingshan was stunned for a moment, and reacted this time.

It seems that the pants haven't been returned to Xiaohu yet......
