Chapter 12, Waiting for the Fish (Seeking Investment)

came directly to the vicinity of the farmland and found his father Yang Guangzhi on the edge of a piece of rice.

The other party was wearing a straw hat and was working.

Seeing him coming, Yang Guangzhi was strange for a while: "What are you doing here?" So hot? Hurry back. ”

"Dad, I'm going to go to Teacher Luo's house in the township, I don't understand some homework, and I may come back a little later in the evening. If I can't come back in the evening, I'll stay at Mr. Luo's house for one night and come back tomorrow afternoon. ”

Luo Jinping is his homeroom teacher, a part-time Chinese and math teacher, and has visited his home here before.

Very optimistic about him.

So he wasn't worried that his dad wouldn't agree.

Hearing this, Yang Guangzhi didn't think much about it, after all, he didn't understand anything about learning.

just explained: "Okay, you go, if you don't come back, bring some food, people don't have much food." ”

"Hey, okay."

With permission, he hurried to his home.

You must bring food!

Otherwise, what does he eat at night.

Passing by the production team, he quietly touched the side of the team committee.

He's going to take something out of it.

Fishing net!

It is also called pushing the net, a thing that catches fish, and it is triangular.

Now is not the time for fishing, only in autumn and winter, when the farming is slack, the village will organize people to clean up the pond in the village.

Now I can't use the push net.

I'll just come back tomorrow.

Glancing inside, there was no one in the compound, so he went in directly.

After wandering around the room to make sure there was no one, he came to a grain warehouse with a locked door, which was where the grain seeds and emergency grain reserves were kept.

Except for a few people, no one could get in.

His goal is not the grain here, this is the foundation of the village, which cannot be moved, his goal is in the warehouse next door where the farm tools are stored.

Usually no one steals anything in the village, and the door of the utility warehouse is also open.

After he crept in, he found a push net with a long bamboo pole in the innermost part.

After a touch, the net disappeared in place.

He hurried out of the warehouse.

Don't let people think he's here to steal.

After getting it done, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, Xiaole, what are you doing here?"

As soon as I went out, I happened to see the deputy captain Yang Qingwen come in, looked at him and asked strangely.

"Uncle Qingwen, I have nothing to do, wander around!"

When the other party heard this, he looked at him, and it didn't seem like he had taken something, thinking that he probably came to the courtyard to make dates.

Because there is a jujube tree in the compound, many dolls often sneak in to beat dates with bamboo poles.

Yang Qingwen didn't care.

He nodded and went straight into the room.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole left the compound and walked towards home.

When he returned home, he took a few sweet potatoes and potatoes, got some firewood and matches, and went straight in the direction of the commune.

The commune is across the river, and usually the school is detoured from the bridge two kilometers away, but in the summer no one walks from that side, it is too far.

When he came to the river, he did not cross the river.

Instead, they walked upstream along the river, because there was a big river there, which was the Yongding River, seven or eight kilometers away from here.

But it wasn't his destination.

It's just too far.

He was going to go to the deep waters of the river to see if he could get some big guys.

Now it seems that catching fish quickly can improve the food at home.

Eating is part of it, and he has to make some money quickly, otherwise he won't be able to buy anything he wants.

And if you catch a big fish, you have to go to the commune tomorrow morning to sell the fish to the people who collect the fish from the supply and marketing cooperative.

There are actually a few flea markets nearby, where there are some trades that are a bit more expensive and you can buy some in-demand items.

But with his small body, if he robs you, you have no place to reason.

It's better to be more stable.

In this era, those who can go to the flea market are either people who are forced by life to change something, or they are the kind of people who don't like to do farm work and want to take a shortcut to make a fortune.

If it's the former, it's generally fine.

If it's the latter, it's up to your luck.

However, the supply and marketing cooperatives on the commune side can't go all the time, and it's a problem after a long time.

Now he doesn't think about it either.

That's all for later.

Half an hour later, he touched the river near the production brigade, which was obviously deeper on this side than on the other.

Yang Xiaole touched the sweat on his head.

By this time, he was completely soaked.

It's too hot now.

After looking around, he took off his straw sandals and blouse, leaving only a quilted version of his floral pants.

I slid down the slope.

Entering the water, the cool river water made Yang Xiaole smart, as if he had just sighed and shaken.

Comfortable.

Originally, he was not tall, and he suddenly disappeared over his chest.

But he wasn't worried.

In his previous life, he could swim, and he would never forget this kind of thing engraved in his memory.

It's just that I'm limited by physical fitness in this life, and I can't swim freely.

And in the past two years, he has also secretly swam.

It's just a little rusty.

After a leisurely swim in the river for a while, he plunged headlong into the water.

You can't use your stamina like that.

Once inside, he went straight into the space.

Wiping a handful of water from his face, his mind moved, and a long pole push net appeared in his hand.

The long pole is somewhat inconvenient.

After thinking about it for a while, he untied the bamboo pole and supported it with a stick to form a triangle.

I think back to my movements in the water.

He crouched down.

Place the net in front of you and hold it against your chest.

Prevent the nets from getting messed up for a while.

After determining the location, he took a sharp breath, and as soon as his mind moved, the person appeared in the water.

Suddenly appeared in the water, and the feeling of oppression made him want to gasp, but he held back.

Holding his breath for dozens of seconds, he entered the space.

"Whew!"

As soon as he entered the space, he took a big breath of air.

Glancing into the fishing nets.

There are only three or two small shrimps and small trash fish.

Disappointed, I threw the small trash fish into the water tank, this thing got too much, and it was not bad to make a trash fish hot pot.

But what he needs is big fish.

However, he also knew that the fish in the flowing river were difficult to catch, and there were not many of them, and yesterday it was because it was on the crutch side, and it would be better.

But there is no way to go there.

Then I thought about it for a while, and I felt that there was no need to hold it in the water every time!

When people come out, it would be good to put the fishing nets in the water, and if people come over, they will think they are catching fish.

Thinking of this, he walked out of space again.

"Whew!"

Fixing the nets and not moving, he sneaked out with his head out and looked around, but no one was nearby.

But there were people playing in the distance.

I don't care, after all, it's far away!

After waiting for a few minutes, he quietly submerged his head into the water and entered the space again.

This time it worked out pretty well.

Crucian carp the size of a palm, and some shrimp and trash fish the size of a little finger.

Placing the fish in the tank, he continued the motion.

More than 2 hours have passed.

Finally, there are some good gains.

There were dozens of crucian carp with a big palm, ang stinging fish, dried shrimp, ginseng, loach, crab, and all kinds of small fish, and the water tank couldn't fit it.

In desperation, I had to use another tank, which should be a grain tank.

But these fish can't be sold.

The supply and marketing cooperatives have regulations that fish under half a catty are not accepted.

There are few that can meet the standards.

However, it was dried to 3 large carp of two or three catties and 4 large catfish of more than 2 catties, and only these can be sold for money.

It's a pity that there is a small reservoir in the commune, and he does not dare to go there, because there are patrols.

Putting things in the tank, he continued the operation.

"Plop!"

After waiting outside for a few minutes, and re-entering the space, there was a fluttering sound.

Yang Xiaole knew that this was a big fish when he heard the voice.

wiped a handful of water on his face, looked at it, and immediately smiled.

A large carp of six or seven catties was lying in the fishing net and fluttering.

This thing is worth seven or eight cents anyway.

Good stuff.

Just these six or seven pounds of big carp, with his small body, he may not be able to hold him.

Fortunately, in the space, he has the final say.

As his thoughts moved, the big fish fell into the tank, where it fluttered.

After getting it done, he came to the big water tank, and looking at some fish swimming in it, Yang Xiaole was happy for a while.

However, as soon as he calculated the price, he was not very happy at once.

All the big fish add up to just over a dollar, not even two dollars.

Suddenly there was a burst of disappointment.

The fish in this flowing river are really too difficult to catch, and I really don't know how those anglers can hang big fish in the flowing river.

Then he thought about it, he was not discouraged, he worked for more than two hours, which was worth the wages of more than a day of workers in the city.

Thinking of this, he smiled again and prepared to continue.

Out of the space, I looked around to make sure that there was no one, and I was about to go into the water.

"Rustle!"

Just as he was about to go down, there was a sound of footsteps stepping on leaves from above, which immediately stopped him from what he was doing.

"Yang Xiaole? How did you get here? ”

Yang Xiaole looked up, and then laughed: "Zhang Liu'er, why are you here too?" ”

I saw a teenage girl standing there on the shore.

The lower body is wearing light gray coarse cloth pants, and the upper body is wearing a floral plaid shirt, and the patches on the top are not very clear because of the checkered.

An oval face with two long ponytails.

The skin is somewhat rough.

The other party is the consignment point of the Hongqi Production Brigade, Zhang Laohan's daughter.

But Zhang Laohan is alone, and this daughter was also picked up.

He is 13 years old, one year older than himself, but he used to be a classmate.

Since last year, he dropped out of school to look at the sales point for Zhang Laohan.

Going to school is also for the consignment point.

Zhang Liu'er pouted her chin and smiled: "I saw from afar that there was a black one coming up in the water for a while, and going down for a while, I thought it was something!" Just come and take a look, I didn't expect it to be you! ”

For this primary school bully, there is no one in the same grade who does not know, let alone in a village.

There are seven production teams in the whole village, and as long as she has been to the sales agency, there are very few people she doesn't know.

What's more, the two are in the same class.

Then he thought of something, and his face turned pale: "Hmph, I asked you first just now, and you haven't said what you're doing here!" ”

Yang Xiaole smiled: "What else can I do here, on such a hot day, I'll swim, by the way, see if I can catch a fish, and go back to fight the tooth sacrifice." You don't look after the store for your dad? How did you get here? ”

Hearing this, Zhang Liuer sighed.

"Can you still swim with your body?"

The other party was suspicious for a moment, and then said: "Help my father go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to get the notice." ”

Yang Xiaole raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and then asked, "Do you want to receive anything again?" ”

The consignment point is a consignment agency set up by the supply and marketing cooperatives in the production team, and the place is very small, that is, it sells some salt, soy sauce, vinegar, matches, and tobacco for daily life...... Something like that.

There are very few types of things.

But it is something that is closely related to the basic life of the people.

Let the people run to the countryside without buying anything, after all, some places are far away from the township.

Occasionally, some agricultural and sideline products are harvested.

Things like eggs, dried fungus, etc.

In addition to the hard currency of eggs, the supply and marketing society appropriately adjusts the types of purchases according to the situation in the city.

At this time, Zhang Liuer went to the supply and marketing cooperative, and she should have gone to get this kind of notice.

Really.

Zhang Liuer nodded: "Well, it's the season for beans to go on the market, and the supply and marketing cooperatives have sent a notice, so let's buy some now." ”

Yang Xiaole nodded.

Vegetable farmers in the suburbs all grow seasonal vegetables, which have their own indicators, and rarely make dried vegetables.

The rest needs to be acquired by the vast number of self-reserved land.

At this time, he was thinking about a problem, that is, to have a good relationship with the other party, and he could secretly deal with some things in the future, as long as the amount was not particularly exaggerated, there would be no problem.

"Okay, I'll not tell you. I have to go back. ”

In the middle of his thoughts, Zhang Liu'er said to him, and then turned to leave.

Yang Xiaole looked at the back of the other party leaving, and did not rush into the space.

Feeling that the other party had left far away, he quietly buried his head in the water and looked into the space again.

"Whoa!"

As soon as he entered the space, Yang Xiaole was happy for a while, there were three big fish in it, but unfortunately they were all one or two catties of things.

I didn't care anymore and continued to be busy.

Hungry in the middle, I roasted some sweet potatoes and potatoes in the space and went back to work.

At dusk, Yang Xiaole called it a day.

It was five or six hours of work.

At this time, he came to the space, and the space was also dusk.

I wonder if this thing was bright all day long!

It seems that he can't change this.

After he got it, he went to the township, and when he got up early tomorrow morning, he had to get up early and go to the supply and marketing cooperative, and give the fish to him.

There were many graves around him this night, and he didn't want to stay here.

If he dares to say that he is not afraid of this environment, he feels that he is basically bragging.

Later, get an oil lamp and quilt, and then sleep in it.

An hour and a half later, he groped his way to the school, and by this time it was completely dark.

"Xiaole, why are you here at this time? Looking for Mr. Luo? ”

At the door, he was seen by the janitor.

Yang Xiaole looked at the other party and smiled: "It's Uncle Liu, well, I came to find Teacher Luo for something." ”

The other party smoked dry cigarettes and flashed the wind with a banana fan.

Wen Yan waved the pu fan in his hand: "Okay, let's go in, Mr. Luo probably hasn't slept yet!" ”

"Okay, I'm in, Uncle Liu."

After saying that, I said hello and went in.

The school has only a few large tiled houses, which carry the education problems of the entire township, and there are only 7 teachers in the fifth grade.

I heard about the expansion, but there has been no movement.

Mr. Luo heard that he came from the city, and it was the third year here, and he said that he would go back after 2 years of supporting the countryside, but he has not gone back until now.

So I still live in the dormitory of the school.

Coming to a room, Yang Xiaole took a look.

"Who?"

Before he could speak, a voice came from inside.
