Back to 78: My Leisurely Country Life

Chapter 39



He Qiang took out the boots from home, which immediately caused dissatisfaction among Sun Jifa and the other two.

""Fuck, you want to eat alone, don't you? Why don't you ask your brothers for this kind of thing?"

Sun Jifa yelled at He Qiang.

Tian Jun was dissatisfied and said,"Everyone is working, and you are slacking off?"

Liu Quan didn't care about that.

If you can slack off, why can't I?

He started to take off his pants with He Qiang.

""Fuck it, take turns!"

He Qiang said with a smile, and went down into the pond first.

The water in that shallow area was not even knee-deep at this moment. Although that corner was overgrown with weeds, He Qiang knew that there were many eels and loaches, and there were also some snails.

Bang!

Liu Quanyou jumped directly into the water, splashing water.

He Qiang touched the water on his face and cursed:"Why don't you keep your noise down? The water is all over my mouth."

Liu Quanyou didn't care, and smiled as he fished in the water.

He had limited intelligence and couldn't learn any skills. He seemed to be wandering around in the water, scaring away a lot of small fish and shrimps.

But He Qiang didn't care. Anyway, the water in the pond was turbid, and he wasn't afraid of being discovered by these guys because the water plants in the water had done nothing.

"Be careful, don't go into the pond, the water is quite deep over there, I won't play with you if you go over there."

He Qiang warned Liu Quanyou.

This guy had to be serious when talking to him, otherwise he wouldn't take it seriously.

Liu Quanyou pursed his lips and agreed honestly:"Okay, I won't go into the pond, I'll go fishing with you."

What kind of fish can you catch? It's just trouble.

He Qiang didn't say this, he just bent down and groped in the pond.

There were quite a few snails in this area, and He Qiang picked up a handful and threw them into the fish basket around his waist after a few bends.

""Qiangwaer, what did you catch?"

Liu Quanyou asked curiously.

"Snails, lots of them."

"Snails, snails are not good to eat."

Liu Quan said with a look of disgust.

Many popular delicacies in later generations are now disliked by rural people because the conditions are not good and the taste is not good.

Things like crayfish and snails are usually chopped up as feed, and people rarely eat them anyway.

After all, if you don't use heavy ingredients, it won't taste good.

People these days are reluctant to use oil, let alone stir-frying.

"You just pick up yours, do you want me to play with you in the future?"

He Qiang said casually, and suddenly he sensed a palm-sized crucian carp swimming through a patch of water plants, and immediately he activated his ability to tie it up.

""Don't move, I saw a fish!"

He Qiang said in a pretentious manner.

Liu Quanyou really didn't move, and shouted,"Where is it, where is it?"

""You shut up!"

He Qiang said, and took two cautious steps forward, then pounced.

Then he grabbed a crucian carp with both hands and lifted it out.

Sun Jifa was confused when he saw this:"Fuck, you are so fierce?"

We grew up together and fished in the pond every year, but I have never seen one so easy to catch!

It is easier to catch when the water is shallow.

"Am I awesome or not?"

He Qiang put the crucian carp in the fish basket, put his hands on his hips and asked proudly.

Liu Quanyou gave a thumbs up:"Awesome!"

""Fuck, Liu Quan, stop wasting resources, come up and pump water, let me go down and catch fish."

Sun Jifa felt that it didn't make sense that he couldn't do it, maybe the fish in the pond were particularly stupid this year?

Tian Jun saw this and said,"Okay, I'll do it, you go down and take a look."

Sun Jifa was not polite and took off his shoes directly on the shore.

In such activities, Tian Jun is usually the one who keeps watch on the side, which is also related to his personality. He doesn't like to go into the water, and usually waits for food.

But soon, Sun Jifa began to doubt his life.

Seeing that He Qiang caught three crucian carp in a short while, Sun Jifa didn't even touch the tail of the fish.

""Shit, how did you catch them?"

Sun Jifa was puzzled.

He Qiang spread his hands and said,"How else can I catch them? I caught them with my hands!"

Liu Quanyou said disdainfully,"Why are you so stupid? Don't you know how to touch the snails?"

As he said that, Liu Quanyou handed the three big snails in his hand to He Qiang.

Sun Jifa rolled his eyes.

He was actually despised by a fool.

""Can you do it? If not, help me find the snails quickly."

He Qiang asked with a smile.

Sun Jifa said nothing and simply walked to the bushes beside the fish pond in front.

If he couldn't catch any fish, he could catch crabs and lobsters, right?

Sure enough, he walked over and pushed aside the weeds hanging over the water, and found a lot of mud holes on the earth dam beside the pond.

He Qiang continued to catch fish and snails, letting Sun Jifa dig holes.

Anyway, they all belong to him in the end, hey!

After almost catching all the snails in this shallow water area, He Qiang walked over to Sun Jifa.

While he was catching snails, this guy also caught some loaches and eels, as well as a few lobsters, and the earth dam was dug a big hole for him.

But it was useless. Compared with He Qiang's harvest, his harvest seemed mediocre.

"Okay, let's call it a day and come back after the water is drained."

He Qiang said, looking at the sky, it's time to go home for dinner.

"Let's go to my house for dinner."

He Qiang said as he climbed up the fish pond.

Tian Jun watched Sun Jifa and Liu Quanyou climb up the ridge and prepare to go to He Qiang's house, cursing:

""Fuck, Liu Quanyou, you’ve been fishing for so long, I’m pumping water, why don’t you come and carry the water raft?"

Liu Quanyou scratched his head after hearing this, and felt that it seemed to be true, so he went over to carry the water raft.

The water raft borrowed by Sun Jifa was much lighter than the one made entirely of wood in the village, so Liu Quan would not feel tired carrying it alone.

He Yong came over and threw the water raft where it was. The water rafts in the village did not need to be put away. After all, no one would steal such a big thing, and it was impossible to hide it if you took it out and used it, and you couldn’t sell it.

Sun Jifa asked with a licking face:"What are we eating tonight?"

"What else can we eat? We haven't finished the sausages made by roe deer yet. Keep eating. If you feel it's not enough, just get two more bowls of dried rice. Anyway, there are enough kimchi."

He Qiang said with a smile.

Tian Jun muttered,"You are a fucking rich man and you treat us with these things. Do you have any shame?"

He Qiang rolled his eyes and said,"If you have money, you can buy things. Then I would have eaten meat every day."

This sentence made several people silent.

Even if their family is as well-off as theirs, they can only eat rice to fill their stomachs, but if they want to eat well, it depends on chance.

With the scarcity of materials these days, it is difficult for even families like theirs to get good things.

It's really too little.

"Damn, you got a bargain! I'll eat what I caught today tonight!"

Sun Jifa felt that he had lost a lot.

"Stupid, if you don't soak the snails for two days, you'll have nothing to eat, and your mouth will be filled with sand."

He Qiang complained

"Aren’t there still a few fish? There are also eels, loaches, and crayfish!"

Sun Jifa said dissatisfiedly

"I'm afraid it's less than three pounds in total. There are so many people eating it, so there's not much to share."

Tian Jun sighed and said,"Qiang, you should raise fish quickly, at least you won't have to worry about fish in the future."

He Qiang smiled and said,"I'll sell it to you for ten yuan a pound. You can buy as much as you want.""

"All right, I'll owe you and give it to you in the next life."

Sun Jifa didn't care at all, with a heroic look on his face.

He Yong whispered on the side:"Qiangwaer, is it really okay not to sell the fish to the supply and marketing cooperative after raising them?"

The unified purchase and marketing has allowed the country to survive these years, but it has made the people suffer.

Every household raises pigs, and a part of them are handed over, and the rest must be sold at the official guidance price. It is a luxury to eat meat.

But fortunately, it will only be in the next few years, and the unified purchase and marketing will be gradually cancelled, and then the supplies will be abundant.

He Qiang said with a firm face:"Sell it, come to me if you have the guts! If you want to buy my fish, you have to step over Sun Jifa's dead body!"

Sun Jifa laughed and scolded:"Go to hell."

Tian Jun comforted:"Brother Yong, don't worry about this. The county supply and marketing cooperative has no objection, and our village has no objection. No one can say where Qiangwaer wants to sell the fish?"

He Yong then realized that their family is not an ordinary family!

Who has nothing better to do than to cause trouble for them?

Have they asked the opinions of the village cadres? Have they asked the opinions of the county supply and marketing cooperative?

Thinking of this, He Yong finally smiled.

His cousin has become rich, not to mention the distant ones, it should be okay to eat two fish in the future, right?
