Reborn in the red years, I am farming in space

Chapter 142 Siblings Stealing Fish

Luo Xuan hurried to the school in Hongxing Township very early.

I thought I had already left early enough, but unexpectedly, I saw two classmates on the road, a boy and a girl, who got up earlier than me.

In the morning mist.

Luo Xuan saw two figures from a long distance away.One of them stood by the side of the road.

But the other person was busy in a pond beside the road, feeling like he was washing his feet or face.

Now because I have been drinking the space spring water for a long time, my senses are extremely sharp.

Luo Xuan was far away, and heard the female classmate standing by the side of the road whisper, "Someone is coming, hurry up and hide."

Hide it?

When Luo Xuan heard this sentence, he couldn't help but feel very curious: hide and seek in the pond

So what are these two people doing?
When Luo Xuan came to the edge of the pond, he pretended to wash his hands and walked along the stone steps of the pond, preparing to walk down.

At this moment,

The female student who was standing on the side of the road and was in charge of watching the wind said: "Student, the water in the morning is very cold. You are getting hot after walking, so you can't wash your face in cold water right away. Otherwise, you will get rheumatism in the future." Hey, your name is Luo Xuan, right?"

The female classmate recognized Luo Xuan immediately before she finished speaking.

"Well, my name is Luo Xuan."

Luo Xuan nodded, and then asked her, "Do you know me?"

The female classmate smiled slightly, "Yeah, maybe you don't know me, but I do know you. My name is Qiu Guiying, and I live in the Hongguang production team behind your Zhengxing production team.

It's just that I'm in Class [-], so you probably haven't noticed me before, so you don't know me. "

Luo Xuan asked, "If you don't hurry up, what are you doing here?"

Qiu Guiying smiled softly, "My brother and I are running hot, and we are going to wash our feet here to cool off before we leave."

Hearing this, Luo Xuan snorted coldly in his heart: Just now you were persuading me not to wash my feet in cold water when I was hot all over.

Now you are.
There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Luo Xuan walked along the stone steps and was about to walk into the pond.

"Student Luo Xuan, don't dip in cold water in the morning!"

Seeing this, Qiu Guiying couldn't help crying out anxiously, "I also heard that there is a 'water monkey' in this pond! It, it will pull children into the water."

pull?
In the end is the 'water monkey' pull, or you pull?
Seeing the other party's expression mixed with anxiety and worry, Luo Xuan's doubts deepened.

"Puff-"

At this moment, I only heard the sound of water in the pond!
Luo Xuan turned his head to look, but saw ripples on the surface of the water, and a big splash.

And in the middle of the spray, a large grass carp with its belly turned over is very eye-catching.

Luo Xuan stared at the child who was also standing on the stone steps, looking at him nervously, and asked him, "Are you so good at catching fish?"

In the pond in summer, the water will lack oxygen due to the hot weather.

Therefore, there will be many fish floating to the surface of the water in groups to breathe.

morning,

These fish will also come out of the water to look for food. At this time, if you have a homemade bamboo pole javelin and stab it randomly into the water, you may be able to catch big fish.

But Luo Xuan looked left and right, but he didn't see Qiu Guiying's younger brother, Qiu Xiaogang, with a javelin in his hand.

"Can you catch fish with your bare hands?"

Seeing that Qiu Xiaogang didn't dare to answer himself, Luo Xuan asked him again, "The frog market is closed today, so even if you catch fish, where can you sell them?"

Qiu Xiaogang blushed, lowered his head and said cowardly, "I used a slingshot to catch fish, and then."

"Little Gang!"

Qiu Guiying, who was standing by the pond, stomped her feet anxiously, "We promised not to tell her name. If we say it, we will do it!"

"Even if the cadres of this production team beat him up, we can't say that! Mao Yun, do you know?"

Qiu Xiaogang trembled when he heard the words, "Sister, I know."

Qiu Guiying's scolding just now caught Luo Xuan's attention.

Because Qiu Guiying is very thin and thin, she is actually not short, and she is also very good-looking.

But on Qiu Guiying's dry face, due to long-term malnutrition, her nose bridge was abnormally strong and her eyes were particularly large.

He looked up at Luo Xuan standing on the stone slope by the pond, and looked at her pair of pure eyes.

Luo Xuan suddenly felt his heart soften.

Qiu Guiying and Xiaocao are so similar!
There is a soft place in everyone's heart.

There is no war, no hunger, no intrigues, no cruelty of the world.

It was full of flowers.

The water in the creek is clear, and all kinds of colorful fish swim leisurely in it.

The grassy hillside is full of small flowers of various colors.

The breeze is coming slowly, and the wind is blowing.

Countless colorful butterflies and bees are flying among them, and the heaven and the earth are filled with all kinds of charming flowers and the ripe taste of wheat fields.
The breeze is not dry, the sun is just right.

Luo Xuan sighed slightly, "You brothers and sisters, are you planning to catch a few fish and bring them to the Red Star Township market, where they can be exchanged for food?"

"I didn't catch a few! I only grabbed one, which is enough for my sister and I to have lunch at noon today."

Qiu Xiaogang raised his head stubbornly, "If you go to the production team to complain, go ahead. I just beg you, don't go to the school and don't let the teacher know about it, okay?"

He deliberately didn't say "steal", but said "catch fish", Luo Xuan didn't want to hurt the self-esteem of Qiu Guiying and his brother.

In fact, often the poorest people have stronger self-esteem.

Because it is also one of the few things they have left that is worth defending desperately.

Luo Xuan nodded, "Don't worry, I won't say anything. However, stealing is always bad, and it won't last long."

"Although you have caught a fish now, sold it, and exchanged it for grain, which can give you something to eat at noon."

"But after a long time, if you get used to doing this, you will develop dependence. Over time, you will feel that it is right and natural to take other people's things. This is not good, and it will destroy you sooner or later."

Luo Xuan stretched out his hand and pulled Qiu Xiaogang up, "Let's go, I'll pay for your lunch today at noon."

Qiu Xiaogang put away the slingshot, and then pointed to the grass carp with white belly in the water.

It is estimated that this kind of fish that was injured by Qiu Xiaogang's slingshot will hardly survive.

He really hated that fish.

Luo Xuan shook his head, "That's not your thing."

Qiu Xiaogang took a look at his sister, then followed Luo Xuan up the stone steps with a slumped head.

Then, Luo Xuan, Qiu Xiaogang, and Qiu Guiying, who was blushing with embarrassment, walked into the school together.

along the way,

Luo Xuan asked the two siblings: How do you usually solve the food problem during your school days?
Qiu Xiaogang glanced at his sister Qiu Guiying timidly, and then said in a low voice: "If it rains in summer, we will go to the woods by the roadside to see if there are wild mushrooms, wild fungus, etc., and exchange them for money on the street. food.

If it doesn't rain, we'll dig out bird nests and catch voles.But how can there be so many bird eggs and voles for me to catch?
So, I occasionally get a fish in this pond and go to the street. "

Luo Xuan asked him, "How much can you sell for a fish?"

Qiu Xiaogang shook his head, "I can't get any money! Where do I go?"

Speaking of which,

Qiu Xiaogang timidly glanced at Qiu Guiying, who was only busy on the road, and saw that she didn't respond, so he dared to continue: "I took the fish and went to exchange half a catty of cornmeal with them for lunch with my sister."

"One fish, half a catty of cornmeal in exchange? Besides, you don't eat vegetables at noon?"

Luo Xuan was a little surprised, "You are so good at catching fish, why don't you cook a fish for yourself?"

Qiu Xiaogang smiled bitterly, "Those people bullied us as children, and they also knew that our fish came from a wrong place, so they only gave me half a catty of cornmeal. If the fish they caught weighed less than two catties, they would blame me a lot. Sentence!"

"We use this as a dish at noon."

As he said that, Qiu Xiaogang took out a pitch-black small glass bottle from his schoolbag, and there were two pieces of wilted salted radish in it.

The glass bottle in Qiu Xiaogang's hand looked like a small medicine bottle used to hold atropine in the clinic.

The two siblings picked it up, washed it, and used it as a bottle for vegetables.

Luo Xuan felt a little curious, "Then why don't you catch an extra fish and eat it as your dish?"

"My sister won't let me."

When Qiu Xiaogang said a word, he always glanced at Qiu Guiying who was walking in front.

Then he whispered, "My sister said that we catch fish to solve our lunch problem, not for our own enjoyment."

It's late summer and early fall.

The corn on both sides of the road is lush and lush, and the harvest season is almost here.

These two siblings have never had the idea of ​​hitting those corn cobs.
And between the rows of corn, there are countless sweet potatoes.

In this season, the sweet potatoes are not too big, but there is no problem in using them to satisfy hunger.

It seems that the two siblings still have something to do.

While hurrying, Luo Xuan asked Qiu Xiaogang, "Then how do you solve the problem of your lunch in winter?"

In winter, the fish will basically not float to the surface. With the simple slingshot in Qiu Xiaogang's hand, it is no longer possible to catch fish for food.

"In winter we get up earlier and walk along the field where the production team has already dug sweet potatoes, looking for sweet potato seedlings among the rows of wheat seedlings."

Qiu Xiaogang replied: "If we can find the sweet potatoes dug up by the members, we will have food at noon. If we can't dig them out, we will have to drink some cold water to satisfy our hunger at noon that day."

After hearing this, Luo Xuan couldn't help sighing secretly.

In this period, everyone is really too poor!

Situations like Qiu Guiying's siblings are actually very common.

Just like yesterday, when I passed by the school kitchen, I saw two or three classmates lying on the water tank outside the kitchen to drink water.

At that time, I thought they were just thirsty.

Thinking about it now, it is actually the kind of student whose family is really difficult, where they rely on drinking cold water to satisfy their hunger.
These two siblings actually live farther away than themselves.

But they may be because their families are too poor to live in school.

Just take a little food to school at noon, steamed rice to eat.

Qiu Guiying and his brother had to walk twenty miles to go to school every morning and evening, which was hard enough.

How can the body cope with being full and hungry every meal?
Looking at the thin figure of the two siblings.

Luo Xuan suddenly screamed, "Oh, hiss~"

Qiu Guiying, who had been walking in front of Luo Xuan and Qiu Xiaogang, five or six meters away, suddenly turned her head when she heard Luo Xuan's exclamation!

All of a sudden, he rushed to Luo Xuan, grabbed Luo Xuan's arm, and asked with concern on his face, "What's wrong with you?"

Luo Xuan bent down, clutched his ankle, hissed in pain, "Oh, I may have sprained my ankle."

"Then sit down quickly and let me rub it for you."

There are a lot of gravel on the roadside.

Qiu Guiying and his brother supported Luo Xuan to sit on a rock.

Qiu Guiying knelt down and rubbed Luo Xuan's ankle with her skinny hand.

After rubbing it a few times, Qiu Guiying raised her head and asked, "How is it? Do you feel better now?"

Seeing the sky is getting late.Luo Xuan stood up limping.

He tore off the schoolbag on his shoulder and handed it to Qiu Xiaogang, "My feet hurt, so please help me carry it."

Done.

Luo Xuan limped ahead and hurried towards the school.

Wait until school.

Luo Xuan asked Qiu Xiaogang's two siblings to help him back to the dormitory first.

Then take out about a catty of rice from the bamboo tube rice tank.

Luo Xuan stuffed the rice into Qiu Xiaogang's lunch box, "This is a little reward for helping me just now."

Qiu Xiaogang was full of surprise, "Wow, so much rice?"

But Qiu Guiying smiled lightly, "Xiao Gang, give it back to me. Let's help a classmate along the way, how can we get paid by him?"

When Qiu Xiaogang heard the words, he was full of reluctance, and he just refused to take it out!

"Go back!"

Qiu Guiying's face darkened, "Otherwise, next semester, I won't help you pay the tuition!"

When Qiu Xiaogang heard this sentence, even though he was unwilling in every possible way, he had no choice but to slowly take out the lunch box, preparing to return the rice inside to Luo Xuan.

The tuition fees for him and his sister were all paid by Qiu Guiying who went to the mountains to pick mushrooms, pick lichens, collect medicinal materials, and even secretly went to coal mines to collect coal in the gangue to sell.

It just accumulated little by little.
Seeing that his good intentions were not appreciated, Luo Xuan couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

Hey!
Did you encounter a bar head? ?

Luo Xuan stretched out his hand and stopped Qiu Xiaogang from pouring rice into the bamboo tube, "How can there be any reason to take back the things that have been taken out? Xiaogang helped me walk so far in the morning, I will not let him help for nothing of."

Standing at the door of the dormitory, Qiu Guiying said calmly, "Okay then, Xiaogang, you just accept the 2 meters, which is regarded as receiving the favor of classmate Luo Xuan."

Qiu Xiaogang obediently poured the rice in the lunch box back into the bamboo tube, leaving only a little bit in the lunch box.

Standing at the door of the dormitory, Qiu Guiying carefully looked at the rice left by her brother, which was about 2 taels, and the expression on her face was relieved.

Then Qiu Guiying gave Luo Xuan a meaningful look, turned around and left.

Just leave a sentence: "In the future, when your ankle is not red or swollen, don't say that you have sprained your ankle."

Luo Xuan asked Qiu Xiaogang in a low voice, "You two, how can this little rice be enough?"

"It's all right!"

There was rice to eat at noon today, and Qiu Xiaogang's face flushed with joy, "I'll add a little more water, my sister and I will have rice porridge for lunch today!"

After finishing speaking, Qiu Xiaogang ran to the kitchen, "Come on, sister, let's steam the rice."
