Chapter 14: Here Comes the Beard
The family is poor, no girl wants to take a fancy to us, even if it is also a girl from a poor family, we can't get into the eyes of others, they still want to change their fate through marriage.
Until now, no one has ever mentioned me to me, not once. I didn't think anything, but it became my mother's heart disease, she has found Zhang Matchmaker many times, if there is a suitable girl for me to worry about. Mrs. Zhang is very happy every time she agrees, but she has never stepped into my door.
"Mom, don't worry, my daughter-in-law will have it soon, I promise you. You're ready to see your grandchildren! ”
The mother threw the dumpling wrappers on the board and snorted, "Look at the grandson? I think you're pretending to be a grandson! ”
The father sighed, "Oh, it's really difficult to marry a daughter-in-law, we have to rebuild the house first, right?" In this dilapidated house, which girl wants to live in it? ”
My house is my father's heart disease, the three rooms are low and dilapidated, and the house is the old house where my grandparents used to live, which was left to my father. There are two more rooms next to the east side, which belong to the uncle, and the houses have collapsed. Many years ago, I only had the impression that my uncle's family went to other provinces, and they never came back after they moved away, even during the New Year's holidays, I never saw my uncle. ”
Someone persuaded my father to buy the uncle's two rooms and build a big house.
My father also had this idea, and I contacted my uncle by phone. Uncle asked him how much he gave?
Of course, my father didn't want to give more, but for a two-room place, 1,000 yuan was a lot. Uncle left a word, then let it go, there was no more news.
The two landlords are next to the hillside, and the place left by the uncle is not suitable for anyone except our family. My father couldn't come up with more money, and no one else cared about it.
"Dad, how much will it cost if this house is flipped?"
Whether I can get a wife or not and my parents live in this dilapidated house, I don't feel at ease, and it is necessary to flip it.
The father smiled bitterly, "At least 100,000." The salary is too high now, and it will be three years before you work to earn money. ”
"No, Dad, we'll cover it this year!"
I spoke firmly, not only to reassure my father, but also to make a decision for myself, and when I saved enough money, I arranged for my parents to live in a new house as soon as possible.
The dumplings were wrapped, my mother made a fire and boiled water to prepare for cooking, and my father wanted to drink with me and make a dish.
"You don't often say that the more you drink dumplings, the more you drink! Aren't fennel meat dumplings okay? There are a lot of dumplings, and you can't eat them if you get too many vegetables, it's a hot day. ”
The mother did not support the father's stir-frying.
"Dad, don't get it, I'll figure it out."
I got up to leave, and when I got to the back of the room, I knew that my dad had grown some vegetables there so that he could eat them for his own convenience. In fact, I didn't go into the vegetable patch at all, but into the space and picked a few cucumbers.
My parents saw that the cucumbers I had brought were thick and long, as if they had seen a monster.
"Where did you get it?"
"I picked them at the back of the room, and when I saw that these were bigger, I got them. Dad, shoot cucumbers and mix garlic, you can make dumplings, and you can also use them as snacks. Is that okay? ”
"Yes, yes!"
My father washed the cucumbers, and I peeled the garlic.
The meal was very refreshing. My father and mother said a lot, and it was all for my sake. I have to reiterate once again at the end, let them put a hundred hearts, and our family's small life will get better and better.
Mom said I was talking drunk.
After dinner, my parents went to rest, and I received a call from the bearded man, so I answered it outside the house for fear of disturbing my parents.
"Brother, the fish is sold out. Where's your friend's fish farm? I went to pull the goods, and there were no more sales in the afternoon. ”
This bearded man gave me a problem, I had already told him to go back to his hometown today, and he would deliver the goods once, and he would ask me where the fish farm was, how could I tell him.
He was in a hurry on the phone, as if he didn't sell goods for half a day as if he wanted his life. He was already on his way, driving a double-row to Shigou Village, and he had to pick me up and go to a friend's fishing ground.
He really came to the village, where can I find him a fishing ground?
I think of it, not far behind the village is the ditch where I used to play when I was a child, along the ditch to the west, there is a pond, the pond is not big, it is more than 50 square meters.
According to the village elders, the pond is bottomless, and even if the water in the ditch dries up, the pond never dries up. Because it is unfathomable, no one dares to go inside, and it is a mysterious area here in our Shigou Village.
The pond is surrounded by shrubs, and it is very hidden in this hidden place, which is difficult for outsiders to find. I'm going to use this pond as a cover to deal with the bearded.
I went home and found a thin rectangular wooden plank with a stick nailed in the middle, which was kind of a sign. I rummaged through the cabinets, found half a bottle of ink and a bald brush, wrote four big characters on the wooden board, and inserted the sign on the edge of the pond.
After doing all this, I entered the space. Bunches of cucumbers are hung on the shelves, and the small bamboo poles are in danger of being crushed. The dozen or so cucumber seedlings I planted later have already grown flowers. This cucumber has to be disposed of, and I'm worried that it will rot over time.
Ignoring these things for now, he took out the fish basket from the water, poured the fish into the bucket and basin, and then threw the trash fish and small fish back into the water.
I went back and forth a few times in and out of the space, and put the bucket on the edge of the pond, where I also dried the nets. This is intended to be shown to bearded people.
He took out a basket of fish that had not been picked from the space and poured them into the pond.
I made a phone call and learned that the bearded man had arrived in the township, and he would arrive in ten minutes, so I went to the village entrance to pick him up.
The songthaew swayed into the village, and I guided it in front of me, behind my house, until I reached the river, and could not go any further.
The bearded man got out of the car, followed me to the pond, and carried the fish bucket by bucket to the cart until it was full, and the bearded man took a breath and said to me:
"Oops! Brother, this is a special fishpond! The choice of location is so secret, if it weren't for your brother who brought me here and led me, I wouldn't have been able to find it. ”
"Big brother is right, this is the characteristic of the fish pond. Hahahaha! Big brother, you came in a hurry at noon, you must not have eaten yet, it just happened that there were a lot of dumplings at home, let's go, go eat with me. ”
I really didn't want him to stay by the pond any longer, so I politely got up with him, and if he didn't eat here at this time, he should go.
The bearded man seemed to be very interested in this fish pond, and hurriedly said, "Brother, I have already eaten it, and your sister-in-law bought me two baked cakes and ate them in the car." You don't know, this fish is so easy to sell. There is no fish to sell in the afternoon, I'm in a hurry! That's why I'm here. Don't blame my brother for being abrupt, I mainly recognize the place, and I can come directly to pull fish in the future, saving my brother from having to run around. ”
it! That's not going to work! Will he come here every day!
"Big brother, you don't have to worry about sending fish, my friend doesn't like others to come to his fish pond, let me tell you this, this fish pond is rarely known in our village. Big brother, do you know why? ”
I'm playing tricks.
