In the dark night, Luo Xuelei couldn't see the second brother's face clearly, and spoke boldly.

"As long as one hundred and sixteen, the taro family bought one, and he rode to the market every day, which was majestic."

The name of taro is Cao Zhengwen, his father is a well-known head in Sili and Eight Townships, and when the policy has not yet been determined and how to go is still hotly discussed, his father has the courage to transport the green onions and other vegetables grown at home to the city to sell secretly.

By the way, I brought some needles and threads, tin toys and other gadgets back to the countryside to peddle, back and forth to save a lot of money, and so on this year after the complete release, his father is not hidden, directly to the family to add a 28 bar, riding a bicycle to run the business generously.

"I really dare to think, one hundred and six plus tickets, do you know how many yellow eels you want to sell?"

"It's only a few hundred pounds."

Luo Xueyun rolled his eyes: "Then you can catch it well, when you earn enough one hundred and sixteen, I will pay for you." ”

"Second brother, don't." Luo Xuelei hurriedly said, "I don't want a bicycle anymore, you can buy me a piece of clothing, you want it to be really good." ”

"You kid is reading Lu Xun, so you can compromise."

"Huh?"

To tell the truth, it is true that good clothes are not comfortable to wear, wet in the rain, sweating as if they are attached to the body, but there is no way, it is popular among young people, and young men don't see others have it, and they want it too.

Luo Xueyun groaned slightly: "It's okay to buy it for you, but you have to promise me something." ”

"I promise, I promise." Luo Xuelei said happily.

Luo Xueyun was speechless.

"Catch yellow eels these days, you help me dig earthworms, plant vegetables in a while, you help me sow seeds, water and pick, and when the first season of vegetables is harvested, I will buy you clothes, how about it?"

"It's been too long......"

"Then you catch your own yellow eels and buy them yourself, don't mix with me."

"Don't, second brother, I promise you."

The terrain of Huanggang is hilly, undulating, very much like the convex ulnar styloid process and joint cavity after clenching a fist, so the paddy fields are all terraced fields, arranged in layers from high to low, looking down like a circle of ripples.

Irrigation water can easily run from ponds or canals at high places to the terrain along the ditches and into the fertile fields.

In spring, the ridges on both sides of the ditch are full of flowers and plants, and the half-shallow water of the ditch is full of hibernating yellow eel loaches.

Seriously, the best time to fish for eels is after May, when the weather warms up, and the eels swim out of their burrows to feed, accumulate energy, grow fat, and wait for June to mate and reproduce.

But Luo Xueyun couldn't wait for that time.

He threaded the iron hook with an earthworm and let Luo Xuelei shine a flashlight along the ditch.

"Second brother, that yellow eel ran out."

Luo Xuelei lowered his voice, but the flashlight couldn't stop trembling slightly.

The phototaxis of the yellow eel is not strong, and it mainly relies on vibration, so the yellow eel is not moved at the moment, and is still half-floating on the surface of the water, preying on the small flying insects among the aquatic plants.

The early insects were eaten by the yellow eel, and the early yellow eel was caught by Luo Xueyun!

said that it was too late, it was fast, Luo Xueyun's eyes were like a sword, he shot out like lightning, and the fire tongs were clamped and collected, half clamped, half shaken, and accurately brought the yellow eel out of the water and threw it into the bamboo basket.

Luo Xuelei was dumbfounded.

"Second, second brother, why are you so fast, I didn't even have time to take a photo."

As a long strip of fish, the yellow eel is extremely slippery, and if you catch it empty-handed, you may have to relay it back and forth several times, even if the tongs are rough, it is not easy to pick up the yellow eel.

However, the second brother just stretched out the tongs and caught the yellow eel lightly, and his flashlight was even shining on the surface of the water at the entrance of the cave, how could he not let Luo Xuelei gasp.

Luo Xueyun smiled faintly.

Zhou Tianfu Qigong has been introduced, refining and refining qi in the past few days to improve him is not false, it is true that because the diet can not keep up, let him describe the haggard body empty, but the true qi wanders around the body, but let him reach the state of essence deficiency and qi.

It is manifested that the eyes are fast and the ears are clear, and the ears and eyes are clear.

"I'm a little thin, I'm afraid it's not even two."

Luo Xuelei said indifferently: "A little bit is a little smaller, with the skill of the second brother, I will definitely be able to catch a lot tonight, let's take a walk, let's find it again." ”

There was no watch, and the two of them didn't know the exact time, so they could only look at the sky, and they felt like they were almost going home.

Back in the yard, pour a basket full of yellow eels into the jar that has been prepared long ago, and add some shallow water to raise the eel.

Worried that the yellow eel would die too much, he also secretly dripped a few drops of the accumulated spiritual liquid.

The aura of heaven and earth, nurturing all things, the true liquid of aura gathered by Luo Xueyun Yungong has the effect of promoting the growth of animals and plants and improving their physique.

Looking at the yellow eels that crowded the bottom of the altar and stretched out their heads layer by layer, Luo Xuelei was even happier than Luo Xueyun, dancing and wiping his hands and face.

"Second brother, you are so powerful, I'm afraid that if you catch ten catties of yellow eel, you can sell it for money tomorrow."

"Catch some more, and if you don't save enough money, you'll have to make two more trips."

Luo Xueyun covered the bamboo basket at the mouth of the altar, took half a stone and pressed it, washed a little and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, as soon as Luo Xueyun got up, his sister Luo Xia said happily.

"Second brother, you are so good, you caught so many yellow eels in one night."

Luo Xuelei, who hadn't gotten up in the house yet, heard it and hurriedly shouted: "I'm going with my second brother." ”

"The third brother is also powerful."

The eldest sister smiled when she heard this.

Luo Xueyun said: "Eldest sister, you can pick some big yellow eels in the jar, fry them at noon, and give them to my eldest mother to taste." ”

The eldest sister stopped laughing and said in surprise: "Brother, aren't you going to sell the yellow eel to buy vegetable seeds?" This matter is important, not for one or two mouthfuls of greed. ”

"It's okay, I'll catch it again."

"Not really."

Father Luo walked in from the courtyard, raised his eyebrows and said: "The yellow eel is very fishy, how much oil and salt do you have to fry it well, what to eat this year, and it will be a moth." ”

The eldest sister spread her hands and said that she was helpless.

Luo Xueyun didn't want to have another dispute with his father, so he could only hold back his appetite for the time being and wait until he had money.

After fighting for two or three more nights, there were so many yellow eels that they had to be replaced in the broken vat, Luo Xueyun weighed it, there were twenty-five catties, and none of them died because of the spiritual liquid.

Luo Xueyun was very satisfied, and planned to scrape together thirty catties and go to the town to sell them.

"I'm going to plow the land."

He shouted.

When the package arrived at the household, the brigade's ploughing cattle and large farm tools were paid to the households, and it was Luo Xueyun's uncle's family who added money to Luo Po and distributed a buffalo, and he was called the uncle according to the local dialect.

Taking advantage of the fact that the wheat and rape have not yet been harvested, Luo Xueyun plans to borrow cattle to plough the land first, so as not to queue up after a while.

Resisting the iron plow, Luo Xueyun walked to his uncle's house, successfully borrowed a buffalo, and after plowing the two plots of land, he borrowed a rake to level the land.

The harrow is a kind of rectangular wood connection with a rectangular head and a full of teeth below, and people stand on it and are pulled by ploughing oxen, which can plough the land more flatly.

After finishing it, Luo Xueyun couldn't return the buffalo immediately, but had to lead it to eat enough grass, go to the pond to drink water and bathe, and return it comfortably.

When he returned the cow, he caught up with the meal, and the uncle had to keep him to eat, so Luo Xueyun had no choice but to eat with him.

"Yourself, don't see outside, eat vegetables and eat vegetables."

Uncle Luo Shitang was very welcoming.

Luo's father has five brothers and sisters, just a younger brother, as the saying goes, the emperor loves the eldest son, and the people love the eldest son, Luo Xueyun's grandfather has a preference for the child, and left more family property not to mention, and sent him to read for a few days.

The Huanggang Brigade is a remote mountain village, except for the educated youths who don't see people, there are few who can read and write, and Luo Shitang can have a place in the brigade just by knowing three or five words and reading notices.

Because he also offered his only son to graduate from junior high school, he wrote a handful of handwriting, and whoever got married and funeral in the four miles and eight towns asked his son to keep accounts, and mix some towels and soap cigarettes casually, I have to say that there is a reason why people are better than Luo Xueyun.

"I heard that you've been having a lot of trouble with you lately, what's wrong?"
