Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 12, Keeping the net and waiting for the fish (seeking investment)
He came directly to the farmland and found his father, Yang Guangzhi, beside a piece of rice.

The other party was wearing a straw hat and was working.

Seeing him coming, Yang Guangzhi felt strange for a while: "Why are you here? It's so hot? Go back quickly."

"Father, I'm going to visit Teacher Luo's house in the village. I don't understand some homework, so I may come back later at night. If I can't come back at night, I will stay at Teacher Luo's house for one night and come back tomorrow afternoon."

Luo Jinping is his homeroom teacher, a part-time Chinese and mathematics teacher, and has visited here before.

Very optimistic about him.

So he was not worried that his father would not agree.

Hearing this, Yang Guangzhi didn't think too much, after all he didn't understand anything about studies.

He just explained: "Okay, you can go, if you don't come back, bring some food, they don't have much food."

"Hey, good."

With permission, he hurried towards the house.

Definitely bring food!
Otherwise, what would he eat tonight.

Passing by the production team, he quietly touched the side of the team committee.

He wants to take something out of it.

Fishing nets!

Also known as push net, it is a thing for catching fish, which is triangular in shape.

Now is not the time for fishing. Only in autumn and winter, when the farming is slack, will the village organize people to clean up the ponds in the village.

Pushing the net is also useless now.

Just come back tomorrow.

Looking inside, there was no one in the compound, so he went in directly.

Strolling around inside, making sure no one was there, he came to a grain warehouse with a locked door, where grain seeds and emergency grain reserves were stored.

Except for a few people, no one can get in.

His goal is not the food here, which is the foundation of the village and cannot be moved. His goal is the warehouse next door where farm tools are stored.

Usually, no one in the village steals anything, and the door of the sundries warehouse is also open.

After he went in quietly, he found a push net with a long bamboo pole in the innermost part.

After touching it, the fishing net disappeared in place.

He hurried out of the warehouse.

Don't let people think that he came to steal something.

After finishing it, he was relieved.

"Hey, Xiao Le, what are you doing here?"

Just when he went out, he happened to see the deputy captain Yang Qingwen coming in, and asked him strangely.

"Uncle Qingwen, I have nothing to do, I'm just wandering around!"

Hearing the words, the other party looked at him, and it didn't seem like he had taken anything, thinking that he probably came to the courtyard to beat dates.

Because there is a jujube tree in the compound, many dolls often sneak in to beat dates with bamboo poles.

Yang Qingwen didn't care.

Nodding his head, he went straight into the room.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole left the compound and walked towards home.

Back home, he took a few sweet potatoes and potatoes, got some firewood and matches, and then he went straight to the commune.

The commune is on the opposite side of the river. I usually take a detour through the bridge two kilometers away to go to school, but in summer no one goes there, it’s too far away.

When he came to the river, he didn't cross the river.

Instead, go upstream along the river, because there is a big river there, that is, the Yongding River, which is seven or eight kilometers away from here.

But that was not his destination.

It's too far.

He was going to go to the deep end of the river to see if he could get some big guys.

Now it seems that catching fish quickly can improve the food at home.

Eating is part of it. He has to earn some money quickly, otherwise he won't be able to buy anything he wants.

And if you catch a big fish, you have to go to the commune tomorrow morning to sell the fish to the fish collectors in the supply and marketing cooperative.

In fact, there are some flea markets nearby, where there are some deals, the prices are higher, and some things that are in short supply can also be bought.

But with his small body, you have nowhere to reason if he robbed you.

It's better to be more stable.

Those who can go to the flea market in this era are either those who are forced by life to trade for something, or those who don’t like doing farm work and want to take a shortcut to get rich.

If it's the former, it's generally fine.

If the latter, it depends on your luck.

However, the supply and marketing cooperatives on the commune can't go all the time, and it's a problem after a long time.

Now he doesn't think about these problems.

That's all for the future.

Half an hour later, he touched the river near the production team, which was obviously deeper than the other side.

Yang Xiaole touched the sweat on his forehead.

At this time, his body was completely soaked.

It's too hot right now.

After looking around, he took off the straw sandals and jacket, leaving only a stitch monster version of flowery pants.

He slid down the slope.

After getting into the water, Yang Xiaole was alerted by the cool water, as if he shook after sighing just now.

comfortable.

Originally, he was not tall, so he fell short of his chest in an instant.

But he wasn't worried.

In his previous life, he knew how to swim, and he would never forget this kind of thing engraved in his memory.

It's just that I have been limited by my physical fitness in this life, so I can't swim freely.

And in the past two years, he also secretly swam.

It's just a little rusty.

After swimming in the river for a while, he plunged into the water.

You can't waste your energy like this.

After entering, he directly entered the space.

Wipe the water off his face, and with a thought, a long pole pushing the net appeared in his hand.

Long poles are somewhat inconvenient.

After thinking for a while, I untied the bamboo pole and supported it with a stick to form a triangle.

Think back to your actions in the water.

He crouched down.

Hold the push net in front of you and prop it against your chest.

Prevent the fishing net from being messed up for a while.

After confirming the location, he took a deep breath, and with a thought, he appeared in the water.

Suddenly appearing in the water, the oppressive feeling made him want to gasp, but he held back.

He held his breath for dozens of seconds before he entered the space.

"call!"

As soon as he entered the space, he took a big breath of air.

Glanced into the fishing net.

There are only three or two small shrimps and small miscellaneous fish.

Disappointed, I threw the small miscellaneous fish into the water tank. There are too many of these things, and it is not bad to make a miscellaneous fish hot pot.

But what he needs are big fish.

However, he also knew that fish in flowing rivers were difficult to catch, and there were not many of them. Yesterday it was because they were on the kidnapper's side, so it would be better.

But I can no longer go there.

After thinking about it for a while, I felt that there was no need to hold back in the water every time!
When people come out, it’s okay to put the fishing net in the water. If people show their heads, if someone comes over, they will think they are catching fish.

Thinking of this, he went out of space again.

"call!"

After fixing the fishing net still, he sneaked out his head and looked around, but no one was around.

But far, far away, someone was playing.

I didn't care, after all, it's far away!
After waiting for a few minutes, he quietly submerged his head in the water and entered the space again.

This time the effect is not bad.

Palm-sized crucian carp, as well as some dried shrimp and small finger-sized miscellaneous fish.

Putting the fish into the tank, he continued the action.

More than 2 hours have passed.

Finally some good gains.

Dozens of palm-sized crucian carp, sticklebacks, dried shrimps, ginseng, loach, crabs, and various small fishes were harvested so much that the water tank would not be able to hold them.

In desperation, I had to use another tank, which should be a grain tank.

However, these fish cannot be sold.

The supply and marketing cooperative has regulations that no fish weighing less than half a catty will be accepted.

Few can meet the standard.

On the contrary, three large carp of two to three catties and four large catfish of more than two catties were dried, and only these can be sold for money.

It's a pity that there is a small reservoir in the commune, and he dare not go there because there are patrols.

Putting things into the water tank, he continued to do so.

"thump!"

After waiting outside for a few minutes, he entered the space again, and there was a sound of thumping.

Yang Xiaole knew it was a big fish from the sound.

After wiping the water off his face, he took a closer look and immediately smiled.

A big carp weighing six to seven catties was lying in the fishing net and flopping.

No matter what, this thing is worth seventy or eighty cents.

nice one.

As for the big carp weighing six to seven kilograms, with his small body, he might not be able to hold him.

Fortunately, he has the final say in space.

As his thoughts moved, the big fish fell into the water tank and fluttered there.

After finishing it, he came to the side of the big water tank, looking at some fish swimming in it, Yang Xiaole was very happy for a while.

But when he calculated the price, he was not very happy.

All the big fish add up to more than one yuan, not even two yuan.

There was a sudden burst of disappointment.

The fish in this flowing river are really hard to catch. I really don't know how those fishermen caught big fish in the flowing river.

After thinking about it, he was not discouraged. What he had done for more than two hours was worth more than a day's wages for urban workers.

Thinking of this, he smiled again and prepared to continue.

When I got out of the space, I looked around to make sure there was no one there, so I went into the water and entered the space.

"Swish!"

Just as he was about to go down, the sound of footsteps stepping on leaves came from above, which made him stop his movements immediately.

"Yang Xiaole? Why did you come here?"

Yang Xiaole looked up, then laughed: "Zhang Liuer, why are you here?"

I saw a ten-year-old girl standing there pretty on the shore.

He was wearing light gray coarse trousers on his lower body, and a plaid one-inch shirt on his upper body. Because of the plaid, the patches were not very clear.

An oval face, with two long ponytails.

The skin is a little rough.

The other party was the consignment point of the Red Flag Production Brigade, Zhang Laohan's daughter.

But Zhang Laohan was alone, and this daughter was also picked up.

He is 13 years old, one year older than himself, but he and he used to be classmates.

Since last year, I have dropped out of school to look at the sales agency for Zhang Laohan.

Going to school is also for consignment points.

Zhang Liu'er pouted her chin and said with a smile: "I saw some dark ones coming up and going down in the water from afar, and I thought it was something! I just came over to have a look, but I didn't expect it to be you!"

For this elementary school bully, everyone in the same grade knows him, let alone in a village.

There are seven production teams in the entire village, and as long as they have been to the consignment point, there are very few people she does not know.

What's more, the two are in the same class.

Then he thought of something, and his expression became serious: "Hmph, I was the one who asked you first, and you haven't said what you are doing here!"

Yang Xiaole chuckled: "What else can I do here? On such a hot day, I'll go for a swim and see if I can catch any fish. I'll go back to the toothbrush festival. Aren't you looking after the shop for your father? Why are you here? "

Hearing these words, Zhang Liuer let out a cry.

"You can swim with your body?"

The other party was suspicious for a moment, and then said: "Help my father go to the supply and marketing agency to get the notice."

Yang Xiaole raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, and then asked: "Are you going to collect something again?"

The consignment point is a consignment agency set up by the supply and marketing cooperative in the production team. The place is very small, that is, it sells some daily life salt, soy sauce, vinegar, matches, cigarettes... and the like.

There are very few types of things.

But it is closely related to the basic life of ordinary people.

Let the common people run to the countryside without buying anything, after all, some places are far away from the village.

Occasionally, some agricultural and sideline products will be collected.

Things like eggs and dried fungus.

In addition to hard currency such as eggs, the supply and marketing society appropriately adjusts the types of purchases according to the situation in the city.

At this time, Zhang Liuer went to the supply and marketing cooperative, probably to get this kind of notice.

really.

Zhang Liuer nodded: "Well, it's the season for beans to go on the market, and the supply and marketing agency has sent a notice to buy some now."

Yang Xiaole nodded.

Vegetable farmers in the suburbs grow seasonal vegetables with their own indicators, and rarely make dried vegetables.

The rest will need to be acquired by the vast private land.

At this time, he was thinking about a problem, that is to establish a good relationship with the other party, and then he can deal with some things secretly in the future, as long as the amount is not particularly exaggerated, there will be no problem.

"Okay, I won't tell you. I have to go back."

While thinking, Zhang Liuer said to him, then turned and left.

Yang Xiaole watched the back of the other party leaving, and did not enter the space in a hurry.

Feeling that the other party was far away, he quietly buried his head in the water and entered the viewing space again.

"Crash!"

As soon as he entered the space, Yang Xiaole felt happy for a while. There were three big fish inside, but unfortunately they were all weighing one or two catties.

I didn't care about it any more, and continued to be busy.

I was hungry in the middle, so I baked some sweet potatoes and potatoes in the space and started working again.

At dusk, Yang Xiaole finally called it a day.

Worked for five or six hours.

At this time, he came to the space, and the space is also at dusk at this time.

I sigh that it would be great if this thing is bright all day long!
It seems like he can't change it.

After finishing it, he rushed to the village, and when he got up tomorrow morning, he had to get up early and go to the supply and marketing cooperative to sell the fish.

This night, there are many graves around, so he doesn't want to stay here.

Dare to say that he is not afraid of this kind of environment, he feels that he is basically bragging.

Get an oil lamp and quilt later, and sleep in it again.

An hour and a half later, he groped his way to the school, and it was completely dark at this time.

"Xiao Le, why are you here at this time? To see Teacher Luo?"

He was seen by the gatekeeper at the door.

Yang Xiaole looked at the other party and smiled: "It's Uncle Liu, um, I have something to do with Mr. Luo."

The other party was smoking a dry cigarette and holding a banana fan to blow the wind.

Wen Yan waved the cattail fan in his hand: "Okay, let's go in, Mr. Luo probably hasn't slept yet!"

"All right, I'll go in, Mr. Liu."

After speaking, I said hello and went in.

The school is just a few big tile-roofed houses, carrying the educational problems of the entire township, and there are only 7 teachers for five grades.

I heard about the expansion, but there has been no movement.

Teacher Luo heard that he came from the city, and it is the third year here. He said that he will go back after 2 years of supporting the countryside, and he has not gone back until now.

So now I still live in the dormitory of the school.

When he came to a room, Yang Xiaole took a look with his head.

"Who?"

Before he could speak, a voice came from inside.
