Volume 4, The So-Called Impetuousness Chapter 48, When the Mountains and Rivers Are Exhausted
Xiao Hei pushed open the door, Xu Ying was opening the car door and getting into the car, and her silhouette came into Xiao Hei's eyes.
"Who is this man?" Zheng Juan asked behind Xiao Hei.
The taxi drove away, and Xiao Hei stopped and replied, "I don't know." ”
I don't know when Xiao Hei started to learn to lie.
He watched Xu Ying leave, and Mu Ran was expressionless.
Zheng Juan sent Xiao Hei to Qiming Town to buy New Year's goods that day, and Xiao Hei walked out of the house and went directly to the bank.
He transferred the money in the passbook to Xu Ying's name, and only left 1,000 yuan for himself. I went to the post office and sent a registered letter to Xu Ying, and then I went to inspect the market and buy New Year's goods.
He didn't expect Xu Ying to come to the door, and he didn't know what he should say when the two met.
Fortunately, Xu Ying was kicked out by Zheng Juan, and he also knew that Xu Ying had received the passbook, otherwise, Xu Ying would not have taken the initiative to come to the door.
"You don't really know this man." Zheng Juan walked up to Xiao Hei from behind him, stared at Xiao Hei's face and said, "He called you Xiao Hei." ”
Xiao Hei only thought that Zheng Juan did not exist, he dodged away from Zheng Juan and was about to go out.
"Stop." Zheng Juan blocked Xiao Hei's way again and asked, "Why are you going?" ”
"Pee." Black found a reasonable excuse, he took three steps and two steps, got into the toilet, and looked in the direction of the taxi.
Xiao Hei returned to the house from the toilet and saw Zheng Juan throw down the work in her hand and sit on the kang to think about her thoughts.
He got back on the kang, got into the bed, and went to sleep again.
"Blackie." Zheng Juan suddenly shouted.
Xiao Hei didn't take a stubble and closed his eyes.
Zheng Juan leaned over, lifted Xiao Hei's quilt and said, "I'm talking to you, why don't you ignore me." ”
"I'm sleepy." Xiao Hei's reason is very sufficient, he can imagine Zheng Juan's tearful expression with his eyes closed.
"Who is this man?" Zheng Juan was like being in an evil spirit, she opened Xiao Hei's eyes with her hand and whispered, "He's your woman." ”
"Don't make a fuss, let me sleep a little longer." Xiao Hei gently pushed Zheng Juan's hand away, turned around and closed his eyes again.
"I won't let you find another woman." This is Zheng Juan's true mentality, and she germinated a sense of crisis.
Blackie closed his eyes, waiting for sleep to strike again.
Zheng Juan stopped talking.
After a while, Zheng Juan's sobbing sound was heard, and Xiao Hei also snored.
From the thirtieth of Chinese New Year's Eve to the fifth day of the new year, Zheng Juan was always sullen. As usual, Hei sleeps during the day and goes to see the fish pond at night.
finally got through to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and he said to Zheng Juan: "Seeing that there is no money to eat, we should buy fish." ”
"You can do whatever you want." Zheng Juan burst into tears. It seems that Xiao Hei has made up his mind to leave this home.
This is something that Zheng Juan has always been worried about since she saw Xu Ying on the day of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
Xiao Hei didn't expect Zheng Juan to have such a reaction, and he didn't have the heart to think about it, Zheng Juan's emotions were related to Xu Ying's visit.
He really wants to make a living, and he wants to catch fish and sell it for money.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, for the residents living in the township, the year is basically over. The New Year's goods stored at home have been almost eaten.
When Xiao Hei heard that the market had already opened, he thought it was time to sell fish to make money.
Xiao Hei told Zheng Juan about his plans.
They don't need to hire people, just by himself, he catches hundreds of catties of fish every day and sends them to the market, and it is estimated that it will not take long to sell the whole pond of fish.
"After the river opens, let's bring in another batch of fish fry." Xiao Hei has already made a breeding plan for the next year.
"Let's talk about the fry later." Zheng Juan didn't tell Xiao Hei why she wasn't in a hurry to get into the fry.
Zheng Juan listened to Xiao Hei's tone, and did not have the idea of leaving after selling the fish, although she was skeptical, she still smiled and coaxed Xiao Hei to say, "Husband, then it will be hard for you." ”
When Xiao Hei heard Zheng Juan call him husband, he couldn't help but have a cold shiver.
This is Xu Ying's patent. Every time the two of them got into the bed, he called Xu Ying's wife, and Xu Ying replied to him with a husband.
At that time, he was so excited to hear this title.
At this moment, this title came from Zheng Juan's mouth, and he got goosebumps.
It is said that when spring grass sprouts, it is the estrus season of animals.
After a period of recuperation, Zheng Juan's body has improved significantly, and her enthusiasm for Xiao Hei has gradually recovered as before.
Every day after dinner, she wants to put the child to sleep. As soon as the child fell asleep, she clinged to Xiao Hei to "coo".
Xiao Hei was full of unhappiness, seeing Zheng Juan's thirsty and begging, he just coaxed Zheng Juan to be happy, and every time Zheng Juan felt fluttering.
Zheng Juan's attachment to Xiao Hei became more and more serious.
According to Zheng Juan's arrangement, Xiao Hei first went to the markets in Qiming Town to contact the sales business. He is now well-known in the fish stall, and he will kill two people with a bump and kick, and he will not have to bear any responsibility, and people will be in awe of him from the bottom of their hearts.
He also hired a walk-behind tractor with a water tank and an oxygen pump for short-distance transport.
He had a word in advance, and he had no cash in his hand, so he could only settle the car money after selling the fish.
People used this as an excuse to raise the fare by 100 yuan. With Zheng Juan's consent, Xiao Hei reached a verbal cooperation agreement with the car owner.
In the morning of breaking the ice and fishing, Zheng Juan specially offered incense to the family protectors, praying that the treasurers would appear and let them have a good harvest.
Zheng Juan also deliberately changed into a set of clean clothes and went to break the ice and fish with Xiao Hei.
Spring in the Northeast is not much warmer than winter. Catch up with the windy day, the cold wind swishs and swoops, drilling straight into the cracks of people's bones.
Despite this, the ice surface was blown out by the spring breeze with honeycomb eyes. The area around the fish pond and in the eye of the ice also began to melt when the sun hits it.
Xiao Hei pokes ice eyes every night, and today is no exception. He came to the ice eye, waved the ice pick with only one hand, and after a few punctures, the thin ice in the ice eye began to gurgle and seep.
Walk-behind tractors are already waiting on the shore.
He pulled out the sorghum straw inserted in the ice eye, took a fishing net called a fishing net, stirred it in a circle in the ice eye a few times, fished out the broken ice floating on the water, and prepared to catch fish.
Xiao Hei is not afraid of the cold, and he has to make great efforts to catch up, for fear of getting his clothes wet. He took off his shirt, put on his pants, spit into the palm of his hand, took the stirrger and began to fish.
He put the fish into the water, stirred it a few times, and felt that there were fish nets, so he lifted the full net of fish out of the water with both arms, and ran all the way to the walk-behind tractor.
"Wait a minute." Zheng Juan shouted, and Xiao Hei stopped.
Zheng Juan ran over and flipped a few times in the agitator, but there was not a single live fish.
What's going on.
Xiao Hei splashed the fish on the ice, Zheng Juan squatted down to check the fish one by one, and couldn't help but smack her tongue: "It's stuffy." ”
"Impossible." Xiao Hei immediately retorted: "I have to poke my eyes at least four or five times every night, how can I be deprived of oxygen." ”
This is a matter of common sense.
Ice holes are set up in the fish ponds and sorghum straw is inserted into the ice to supply oxygen to the fish ponds. In the winter, it is enough for other fish farmers to break the ice hole once a day.
The empty core of sorghum straw can also transmit air to the fish pond in time to ensure that the fish have enough oxygen.
"I'll see." Xiao Hei returned to the ice eye and waved the agitator again.
One net, two nets, he fished four or five nets in a row, and fished out dozens of big fish more than three feet long, and there was not a single live fish.
How could this be.
Drive the handlebar type of the walk-behind tractor, and deliver fish for short distances all year round. He walked over and stepped on a dead fish, and with a little force, the fish's belly burst, and a thick black organ flowed.
Suddenly, a strong fishy smell permeated the surroundings.
The fish was drugged to death, and the handlebar style made a judgment based on experience.
Zheng Juan seemed to have been hit on the head, and she sat on the ice all of a sudden, and stopped talking.
Xiao Hei was crazy, he put the agitator into the ice hole, desperately fished up, left net, right net, less than an hour, the ice of the fish pond was covered with dead fish.
Guo Jun received the report again, and he rushed to the scene with technicians.
A strong fishy smell made him nauseous. He covered his nose and walked up to Zheng Juan, without waiting to ask about the situation, Zheng Juan grabbed and said, "I know who it is that poisoned the fish pond." ”
The man who was kicked into the fish pond by Xiao Hei was surnamed Hu, and people called him Boss Hu.
There were three brothers in his family, the eldest and the second, one drowned, and the other was charred, and only the third child was left in the family.
Zheng Juan insisted and said: "This must have been done by Hu Laosan." ”
Hu Laosan is also Zheng Juan's family that contracted the fish pond. Since the death of his two older brothers, they have not been in touch.
It stands to reason that it has been almost a month since the rent was due, and he should have come to collect the rent, but he has not shown up yet.
This is also the main reason why Zheng Juan is not in a hurry to enter the fish fry, she is worried that Hu Laosan will not contract the fish pond to her anymore.
Guo Jun quietly listened to Zheng Juan's explanation of the situation, and his gaze always stayed on Xiao Hei.
Guo Jun remembered the robbery and murder that happened here before the Spring Festival.
According to his visual distance, Xiao Hei's position at that time was at least five meters away from the burned shack. This half-grown child actually knocked an adult man into the shack, kicked Boss Hu away, and fell into the ice cave ten meters away.
Where did this kid get so much energy?
Xiao Hei was holding back a fire in his heart, he never expected that the 3,000 yuan he invested in it would really be wasted.
Sometimes he waved an ice pick to break the ice, and sometimes he picked up a stirring knife and fished out dead fish.
He didn't want to stop, he couldn't stop, he couldn't accept that all his dreams and hopes were completely shattered.
Guo Jun calmly listened to Zheng Juan's account, and he did not raise any objections. For example, why do you suspect that the fish was poisoned by Hu Laosan, whether Hu Laosan came to you before the crime, and what words or actions did he threaten you?
However, Guo Jun agrees with Zheng Juan's suspicion of Hu Laosan, and he has to find a factual basis for this suspicion.
The technician took the water samples and a few dead fish and walked away with Guo Jun.
Xiao Hei threw away the agitator, and shouted again: "Ah-"
The fish in the whole pond died, and a strong fishy smell could be smelled within more than ten meters around.
Xiao Hei and Zheng Juan stayed at home all day, relatively silent, and they didn't know what to do next.
Fortunately, Zheng Juan's family still has some vegetables stored in winter, and they can fill their stomachs with vegetables and rice every day.
Xiao Hei heard Zheng Juan's suspicion of Hu Laosan, and also dispelled the idea of cleaning up the puddle and re-releasing the water to throw fish fry.
"We can't stay home all day." Xiao Hei wanted to go outside to work to earn money, Zheng Juan shook her head silently.
The fishpond was the only reason she could keep Blackie.
The fish pond is gone, and Xiao Hei goes out to work, so he has nothing to do with Zheng Juan and his wife. Zheng Juan's loss of Xiao Hei is equivalent to losing all the support left in Qiming Town.
Xiao Hei gave Zheng Juan 300 yuan, but Zheng Juan was never willing to spend it, but it was cheaper for the tractor handlebar.
This is Xiao Hei's idea, since he has reached a verbal agreement with others, although the fish is not sold, the car money still has to be paid.
Fortunately, the handlebar style is also a particular person, he only charged 100 yuan for gas, and let Zheng Juan have 200 yuan to maintain the daily life of the three people.
Zheng Juan didn't want Xiao Hei to go out to work, but Xiao Hei didn't go out to earn money, and the three of them were about to go hungry.
What to do?
Zheng Juan thought about this matter over and over again for several days.
Xiao Hei has no fish pond to worry about, so she can only stay at home obediently at night, which provides Zheng Juan with an opportunity, she wants to get pregnant with Xiao Hei, which is her only hope to keep Xiao Hei.
That morning, Xiao Hei said that he would go out for a walk, but he disappeared as soon as he left. Zheng Juan doesn't have to guess to know that Xiao Hei went out to find a job.
When I thought of Xiao Hei leaving this home, no matter where he went, he would inevitably come into contact with other women, and with his charm, any woman who saw it couldn't help but come to him.
Xiao Hei has a weakness, no matter what kind of woman he is, as long as the other party takes the initiative, he will not refuse to come. This is Zheng Juan's personal experience, and she regards this as Xiao Hei's Achilles' heel.
The more Zheng Juan thought about it, the more scared she became, the more angry she became, she held her breath, and wanted to wait for Xiao Hei to come back and have a big fight with Xiao Hei.
If Xiao Hei knows that he is wrong, he will obediently stay at home, not knowing his mistake, or not thinking that he is doing it wrong, then simply drive him away.
This is Zheng Juan's special psychology in a special period, she is afraid of losing Xiao Hei, and she wants to use this extreme way to force Xiao Hei to bow down to her.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Zheng Juan opened her voice and shouted: "You still lick your face and come back!" ”
She turned her head to look and saw Guo Jun and a public security officer walking in, she hurriedly accompanied the smiling face and said, "I'm sorry, I thought it was ......."
"Where's Blackie?" Guo Jun asked Zheng Juan with a flat expression.
"Little ...... Xiao Hei, who is called Xiao Hei. Zheng Juan hesitated a few times and asked Guo Jun rhetorically: "...... you are?"
"Your husband's case is solved." Guo Jun took out an envelope, handed it to Zheng Juan and said, "This is your family's 14,000 yuan deposit. ”
