Chapter 37 I Have Potatoes and You Have Meat

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

Now it seems to be a kind of honor in the village to hold the "ghost painting charm" red stones and red branches.

The more the family has more hands, the more aggressive the labor force of the family, and the more fish they get.

That's right, Dad Qiaoying lined up on the dam to press his fingerprints.

This handprint is not only to carry the responsibility together, but also to agree on the method of fish sharing when the village from the opposite side comes to find faults together.Anything is afraid of uneven "distribution of spoils" and internal strife.

Qiaoying snatched the branch from her mother on purpose, and pretended to wait for her father to go home for lunch together after having her fingerprints pressed. She held the red branch high and said, "Because my family has a boat. "

The little daughter-in-law who asked about Qiaoying's words felt blocked.

I thought to myself: Look at that little broken boat in your house, what does it smell like.

If my father-in-law's boat hadn't been split and set on fire, your little broken boat would be a younger brother in front of my boat.

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

In the second year after she entered the house, she hated that her broken boat took up too much space, thinking about what to do with fishing river fish and keeping it, so she urged her man to use it as firewood.

At the beginning, I thought that splitting her would save firewood, but now I regret it, because I can divide a lot of fish with the work points of the small broken boat.

The little daughter-in-law wanted to say something more sour, but her mother-in-law urged her from behind: "Didn't you see that the chimney in front of you is smoking? People are going to eat their food, and you are still there. Hurry up and cook. , there is a lot of work in the afternoon, I think your score will be lowered!"

Yes, at this time, many villagers went home to eat after finishing their fingerprints.

But the old lady Xu was still surrounded by people on the dam, and she couldn't go home even if she wanted to go home. She was blocked tightly, one thing after another.

Wang Yusheng: "Auntie, I asked which two villages have boats, and the bamboo poles for the height are gone. You have to arrange two people to get the bamboo poles."

"Success. But, Yusheng, you choose someone, and tell my granddaughter when you turn around, she will remember not to deduct the labor points of those two people. The two people don't have to work on the dam."

The village woman's name was Da Hongzi, and she couldn't get a word in the queue, so she finally caught up after Wang Yusheng finished speaking, holding an eight-year-old boy by the collar in her hand, and said, "Sister, no, I'm in a hurry. It's my grandson named Bu Dai, didn't you have something to tell him, I dragged it here for you."

Mrs. Xu took a look at the famous and powerful little boy 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 sucked his nose: "Grandma, are you going to let the younger brothers and sisters dig for worms? I know. They will dig after lunch in a while, and the younger brothers and sisters will never be allowed to sleep and pick up mud."

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

Xiaowa's chest puffed up: "I promise to complete the task!"

Granny Xu waved her hand, next.

The next one is the head of the Cao family with four surnames reporting: "Old girl, I've found Jiang Chazi. Don't worry, the current is suitable for netting. My old man went to see it in person. It just so happens that the tall Artemisia can block the boats. .At least when it’s dark, the village on the opposite side is not easy to see.”

Mrs. Xu knew that this was actually not the work of the Cao family. A little work was not extraneous. At noon, she helped her experienced father to find Jiang Chazi, who was off the net. Relying on someone's back to support him, he probably didn't eat: "Brother Cao, I have to trouble you to lead the way at night, I'm sorry."

"If you don't want to worry about the affairs in the village, then I will tell you when I leave."

next.

As soon as Mrs. Xu turned around, she saw the old men like Fourth Uncle and Seventh Uncle, who seemed to be muttering about something.

She took the initiative to go over and asked, "Have the fishing nets been brought up?"

Uncle Qi said that all the fishing nets left by each family were collected.

I thought to myself: It’s too many years of use, it’s too bad.

I won't mention this, these old guys, even if they are tired and confused today, they will be repaired.

It's just that there are only two dilapidated boats left in the village, and those two didn't chop firewood. No matter how big your net is, it's useless, and you can't drag a lot of catties, and you can't put it in the boat.

The old men got together and calculated based on experience. According to the size of the two boats, there were at most thirty or forty baskets. (more than 1000 kg)
Thirty or forty baskets, Erdaohe Village has a total of 110 four households, how much fish can be divided even if you divide it into households.

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

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

Mrs. Xu nodded, yes, there are only two boats of six or seven meters, so it really doesn't matter if they get beaten up.

The fourth uncle and the others expressed their thoughts: "Niece, it is impossible for us to go to the opposite village to borrow a boat."

How can you steal it, right? You should understand what that means.

"The few of us had a discussion just now. Let's collect money from each household in the village to rent a boat in the town. While it's only noon, send someone there quickly. The idea of ​​us old guys is that we have to rent two more boats. .”

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

"Then how much will it cost to rent two more boats?" Mrs. Xu had never rented one before.

"Have people wake up early, and specify whether to bring them tonight, regardless of the meal costing one or two silver dollars."

Uncle Qi answered, "One tael of silver sounds like a lot, but each household in our village only needs to pay ten renminbi to pay for two boats."

This makes everyone collect firewood with high flames. When they catch up with families with a large population and more work points, they will be sold to them at Wang Lizheng's cheap and cheap price by the villagers on the opposite side.

"Every family will agree, as long as you collect it."

The old men looked at Mrs. Xu, not to mention ten pennies, anyway, at least a few of them old guys would give out more money.Because this is the opportunity they have been looking forward to for many years to be able to tear apart from the opposite village, they don't want to close their eyes in a daze.

The old lady Xu simply said: "Okay, then when I go home and have lunch, I will collect the money. After collecting, I will let Mei Zhuang take me in a donkey cart to rent a boat."

She goes in person.

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

Because when she was cooking hot bone soup and thinking about ordering noodles, the corner of Liu Jingdong's mouth was bruised.

"What's the matter? Didn't you just leave this morning to study outside? Do your parents know why you came back?"

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

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

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

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

Why not go to his father's villager's house, he is afraid that those families will praise him during the meal, and then let the boys in the family ask him.It's been so annoying before.

Liu Jingdong handed over the pork and food he had brought over: "Don't worry, I'll take the rations for nothing." He looked at Xu Tianxin and said, "It's just stewed meat. You and my niece will eat it together."

Xu Tianxin: "..." Yuanshen would be so sad if he knew that Brother Jing was calling him his niece.You must know that in the past, they were deceiving their ears and stealing their bells, after all, Liu Jingdong was only two years older than her, fifteen years old.

I heard that Mrs. Pepper hadn't been pregnant for many years, so the old Liu family has a baby boy.

"It's not that my aunt doesn't want to. I really don't have time to cook for you. I'm going to rent a boat in the town. I'm leaving at this time, and I don't know when I can come back at night. Don't delay your meal. I'll find you another place."

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

Mrs. Xu first thought that the kid had already returned to the village, and there were some things that she couldn't hide, so she might as well tell the truth.The second is, counting the time, I am not afraid that this kid will send a letter to his parents.

It will be night at the earliest when Liu Laozhu rushes back.

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

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

It is estimated that his father would not have told him if he was really tricky, otherwise this silly boy would not have a special sense of collective honor, and he would say "I'm Erdaohe".

"Nowhere to go, just near us."

Liu Jingdong heaved a sigh of relief: "Then you don't have to go to the town, let's cook. Why don't you rent the one nearby, auntie, the three boats of my uncle's house are parked by the Wangjiagou River, the old one, let's row over and use it. "

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

Liu Jingdong was afraid that Mrs. Xu would not believe it: "Really, I once heard my father and my uncle drink and talk about collecting fish from Wangjiagou Village and selling it in the county."

Mrs. Xu immediately took the meat: "I made your meal for you. It happens that my house is stewing potatoes at night. My aunt will not take advantage of you. After stewing the potatoes and roasting the meat, I will take the meat for you. Now you come into the house with me, and I will take advantage of you." I have something to tell you in detail. You have done it for your aunt, isn’t that three boats, and my aunt will count [-] centimeters for you.”

And it is necessary to give some instructions to take the boat.

They just want to repair the dam, and they are standing on the boat to repair the dam.

That afternoon, Liu Jingdong took a group of young men who liked to catch fleas and put them on their bodies, and went to the opposite village.

A group of boys went to the Wangjiagou River, shaking their legs and squinting at people.

Liu Jingdong coaxed even more arrogantly: "Get the boat, what's the matter, let me see who dares to stop it, my uncle's boat, I can stop wherever I want, get out!"

None of the ordinary villagers in Wangjiagou dared to offend this son of Li Zheng. Although he was not as grand as the young master of the Zheng family in their village, if he offended this boy, his uncle would not take fish from them in the future.

It was also a coincidence that Wangjiagou Village was not at home, and no one dared to stop him.

……

And before the three big boats more than ten meters long came over, the villagers of Erdao River had already started watching eagerly from across the bank.

Two small broken fishing boats in my village, do you know how miserable they are?It has not been used for many years, and the seams of the boat must be blocked with putty and hemp in advance, and even the putty is not easy to get together.Because that thing is smashed out of lime and oil.

Old Zhai didn't eat lunch at noon, so he trembled and went from house to house for the little putty oil. The old lady in each family gave him two drops with the oilcloth that he used to rub the pot. It was the oil that was collected like this to block the gap in the boat. , That is really a step by step for fishing.

Looking at the three big ships again, there is the sound of oars swaying from a distance, and the sails flutter very magnificently, which is really different.

At this time, Xu Tianxin heard that even the background music in the live broadcast room changed to:
Is there a boat?
Stop shouting, the boat is coming!
"There is a winding river in front of my brother, and my sister is singing a sweet song opposite..."

Liu Jingdong was standing on one of the boats, waving to everyone happily.

Even the background music became cheerful.
