"Qiaoying, how can your family get a red branch?"

Now it seems to be an honor in the village to hold the "ghost drawing talisman" red stones and red branches.

Whoever has more hands in his hands means that his labor force is more bullish, and the fish he gets is destined to be more.

No, Qiaoying's father lined up on the dam to press his handprint.

This handprint, according to not only the responsibility to carry together, the opposite village to find fault together, but also agree to the way of dividing the fish. I am afraid that the "distribution of spoils" will be uneven and cause infighting.

Qiaoying deliberately snatched the branch from her mother's hand, and pretended to be waiting for her father to press the handprint and go home for lunch. ”

The little daughter-in-law who asked Qiaoying was in a hunch.

I thought: Look at your little wrecked boat, what does it smell?

If my father-in-law's boat hadn't split and burned, your little broken boat would have been a younger brother in front of my ship.

The little daughter-in-law regretted it very much.

In the second year after she entered the door, she disliked that her broken boat took up too much space, and she didn't let the fish in the river keep it, so she was stunned to use her man as firewood.

At first, I thought that she would be able to carry less firewood by splitting her, but now she regrets that she can't do it, and she can divide a lot of fish with a small broken boat top.

The little daughter-in-law wanted to say a few more sour words, but her mother-in-law urged from behind: "Didn't you see the smoke coming from the chimney of the person in front of you?" Everyone is going to eat their food, and you're still there. Go back to cooking, do a bunch of work in the afternoon, and see what you're going to do! ”

Yes, at this time, many villagers went home to eat after pressing their handprints.

But Mrs. Xu is still surrounded by people on the dam, and she can't go back if she wants to go home.

Wang Yusheng: "Auntie, I asked the two families in the village that have boats, and the tall bamboo poles are gone, so you have to arrange for two people to get bamboo poles." ”

"Done. However, Yusheng, you choose someone, go back and tell my granddaughter, she will remember not to deduct the two artificial points. They don't have to work on the dam either. ”

The village mother-in-law's name is Da Hongzi, and she can't grab the words in line, and finally after Wang Yusheng finished speaking, she was caught empty, and she still pulled an eight-year-old boy by the neck collar and said: "Sister, no, anxious people, this is my grandson's name Budai, don't you have something to tell him, I dragged it for you." ”

Mrs. Xu looked at the famous and powerful baby in the village, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Budai, Grandma Xu wants to give you a task, can you complete it?" ”

The boy snorted: "Grandma, do you want to lead your younger brothers and sisters to dig worms, I know." After a while, after lunch, he dug and never let his younger brothers and sisters sleep and pick up mud. ”

"And tomorrow morning, if people from our village come to other villages, you will shout all the way to the dam, there is a situation, remember. The gong will be given to you tomorrow morning. If you do a good job, grandma will let your grandma pick the fish first, and your milk is rare crucian carp and melon seeds. ”

The little baby's chest straightened: "Guarantee to complete the task!" ”

Mrs. Xu waved her hand, next.

The next one is the Cao family with the four surnames who are reporting: "Old girl, I'm done looking for Jiang Chazi." You can rest assured that the current is suitable for going to the net, and the old man of my family went to see it in person, and it happened that the artemisia that was still old in front of him could cover the boat. At least when the net is lowered after dark, it is not easy to see the opposite village. ”

Mrs. Xu knew that in fact, this was not the work of the Cao family, and she didn't have to count more than any work, so she helped her experienced father to find Jiang Chazi who went to the net at noon, and the old man of the Cao family had not good legs and feet, so he had to rely on someone to support him, and he probably didn't eat: "Brother Cao, I have to trouble you to lead the way at night, so I bother." ”

"The affairs of the village, don't bother, then I'll tell you when I'm gone."

Next.

As soon as Mrs. Xu turned around, she saw the old men of the fourth uncle and the seventh uncle, as if they were muttering something.

She took the initiative to go over and ask, "Have you collected the fishing nets?" ”

The seventh uncle said that all the fishing nets left by each family were collected.

I thought: It's just too many years to use it, and it's so bad that it can't be done.

Let's not mention this, they old guys, even if they are tired and confused, they will fix it today.

It's just that there are only two broken boats left in the village, and those two have no firewood, no matter how big your net is, it's useless, why can't you drag up many catties, and you can't put it in the boat.

The old men made a calculation based on experience, and according to the size of the two ships, there were at most thirty or forty baskets. (more than 1,000 catties)

Thirty or forty baskets, a total of 114 households in Erdaohe Village, you can only divide the number of fish according to the household.

The fourth uncle coughed: "Didn't we guys say it, if you want to do it, you can do it." ”

Look at this old man, this is obviously said by Mrs. Xu, but the fourth uncle is very particular about conversation skills, so it became said by the whole village.

Mrs. Xu nodded, yes, there are only two boats of six or seven meters, and it is really not interesting to be beaten in case of being beaten.

The fourth uncle said what he thought in his heart: "Eldest niece, if we want to go to the opposite village to borrow a boat, it is impossible." ”

That's what you steal, right, you should know what it means.

"A few of us have just discussed, let's go to the town to rent a boat by household pooling money, and send someone to hurry up while it's just noon. The idea of us old guys is that we have to rent two more ships back. ”

In other words, they plan to steal at least three or four thousand catties once.

"And how much does it cost to rent two more ships?" Mrs. Xu has never rented it.

"Let people get up early in the morning, and if you don't bring it tonight, you don't care if you get a tael of silver for dinner."

The seventh uncle answered: "One or two silver coins sounds like a lot, but each household in our village only needs to pay ten yuan, and you can make up two boats." ”

This made everyone collect firewood and the flame was high, and when they caught up with the people with a large population and a large share of work, they sold them Wang Lizheng's sparse and cheap price according to the villagers opposite, and the two fish were also returned to ten yuan.

"Everyone will agree, as long as you collect it."

The old men looked at Mrs. Xu, don't say ten words, anyway, at least a few of their old guys will take out more money. Because this is the opportunity to tear apart from the opposite village after how many years they have been looking forward to, they don't want to close their eyes in confusion.

Mrs. Xu simply said: "Cheng, then I'll collect the money when I go home for lunch." After collecting it, I asked Meizhuang to pull me to rent a boat with a donkey cart. ”

She went in person.

But Mrs. Xu still didn't go to town.

Because she was burning hot bone broth and thinking about ordering noodles, the corners of Liu Jingdong's mouth were bruised.

"What's the matter, you didn't just leave this morning, you want to go outside to study, why did you come back, your father and mother don't know."

Liu Jingdong thought to himself, can that let me know.

He guessed that his father and mother seemed to be in the town, so he didn't dare to go to his uncle's house and went back to the village directly.

He didn't dare to tell his father that he had a fight with his classmates, and he would wait until he went back to the village to hide for two days to heal from his injuries. Anyway, his father won't be able to find out for a while, and he used to live in the academy.

"Auntie, I heard that you are in charge of the village right now, I want to come to your house for dinner at night, I don't know how to cook."

Why didn't he go to his father's villagers' houses, he was afraid that those families would praise him when they ate, and then they would let the children in the family ask him for words. It used to be so annoying.

Liu Jingdong handed over the pork and grain he brought over: "Don't worry, I won't eat in vain with rations", and looked at Xu Tianxin: "It's just stewed meat, you and my niece will eat together." ”

Xu Tianxin: "......" would be sad if he knew that Brother Jing was called his niece. You must know that in the past, everyone covered their ears and stole bells, after all, Liu Jingdong was only two years older than her, and he was fifteen years old.

I heard that Aunt Pepper has not been pregnant for many years, so the old Liu family can treasure this son.

"It's not that my aunt doesn't want to, I really don't have time to cook for you, so I have to go to the town to rent a boat. Go at this hour, and you may be able to come back at night. Don't delay your meal, I'll find you another home. ”

"Where to rent a boat?" Liu Jingdong was puzzled.

Mrs. Xu first considered that this kid had already returned to the village, and some things could not be hidden at all, so it was better to tell the truth. The second is to calculate the time, and he is not afraid that this kid will send a letter to his father.

Liu Laozhu rushed back at the earliest, and it would be evening at the earliest.

That's right, take out the paperwork, if you can't take it out, the villagers are excited, let's catch it every day.

What's more, look at the silly boy in front of him, he has a naïve temperament.

It is estimated that his father will not tell him if he is really tired, otherwise this stupid boy will not have a special sense of collective honor.

"If you don't go anywhere, it's around here."

Liu Jingdong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then you don't have to go to the town, just cook." What else is there to rent nearby, auntie, the three boats of my uncle's house are parked by the Wangjiagou River, the boss boat, row over and use it. ”

"What?!" No one in the village knew about it.

Liu Jingdong was afraid that Mrs. Xu would not believe it: "Really, I have heard my father and my uncle drink and say, collect fish from Wangjiagou Village, and sell them in the county." ”

Mrs. Xu immediately took the meat: "I made you this meal, it just so happens that my family stews potatoes at night, my aunt doesn't take advantage of you, stew potatoes and roast meat, and take the meat away for you." Now come into the house with me, and I have something to say to you. You have done it for your aunt, aren't they three ships, and your aunt will count you as thirty centimeters. ”

And you have to ask for a boat to say.

They just want to build the dam, and they want to build the dam on the ship.

In the afternoon of the same day, Liu Jingdong took a group of young men who loved to catch fleas and put them on their bodies to the opposite village.

A group of boys went to the Wangjiagou River and shook their legs and squinted at people.

Liu Jingdong even coaxed and said: "Take the boat, what, I see who dares to stop it, my uncle's boat, I can stop wherever I want, get out!" ”

No one in the ordinary villagers of Wangjiagou dared to provoke this son of Lizheng, although he was not as grand as the young master of the Zhengjia family in their village, but if he offended this kid, his uncle would not accept them in the future.

It is also a coincidence that Wangjiagou Village is not at home, and no one dares to stop it.

……

And before the three big boats more than ten meters long rowed over, the villagers of Erdaohe had already begun to look at each other from the other bank.

Two small broken fishing boats in your own village, do you know what it is like? I haven't used it for many years, and I have to use putty and hemp to plug the seams of the boat in advance, and even putty is not easy to make. Because it was made of lime and oil.

Lao Zhai didn't eat lunch for a long time, for that little putty oil, trembling and trembling to go from house to house, each old lady used the oilcloth to rub the pot on weekdays to twist two drops for him, it was this kind of oil, to block the gap in the boat, that is really for fishing step by step.

Looking at the three big ships again, there is the sound of swaying oars in the distance, and the sails are fluttering very magnificently, which is really different.

At this time, Xu Tianxin heard that even the background music in the live broadcast room became:

Is there a ship?

Don't bark, the ship is coming!

"There is a crooked river in front of my brother, and my sister is singing a sweet song opposite me......"

Liu Jingdong stood on one of the boats, waving to everyone.

Even the background music became cheerful.
