The passionate years starting from the college entrance examination

Chapter 9, tell the number
The winter sunset comes quickly.

The villagers on the Yongding River gradually became rare.

Not everyone can endure loneliness or temperatures of more than ten degrees below zero.

However, when Chen Guohua's morning's catch was sold for four yuan, four cents and four cents, the Yongding River boiled again.

A lot of people came, and within an hour, there were fewer people again.

But when night fell, Chen Guohua carried a kerosene lamp and took Chen Xiaoyue to the Yongding River.

"Brother, if we come to catch fish at this time, can we really catch it?"

The weather was very cold, so Chen Guohua had no choice but to make this decision.

In the afternoon, the four brothers and sisters were on their way home.

Chen Xiaoyue said she still wanted to continue catching fish.

When they saw many villagers on the Yongding River, they immediately retreated.

So I went home to have dinner and prepare the sacrifices for the first seven days of the next day.

At this time of night, when everyone was asleep, we started to fight again.

"You'll definitely catch fish, trust me!"

Chen Guohua said very firmly.

The reason why he was willing to bring his sister over to catch fish at this time.

I just want to make more money before he goes to school.

In order to prevent Chen Xiaoyue and the others from running to the river to catch fish after he went to school.

If something unexpected happened, he would definitely regret it.

At the same time, I also took this opportunity to tell Chen Xiaoyue that fishing requires skills and even more timing, and cannot be followed blindly.

Soon, the two brothers and sisters came to Yongding River and began to search for the holes that had been punched through.

Today is a daytime, except for the holes made by Chen Guohua and his brother and sister.

There are also holes made by other villagers.

In many holes, there may not be fish immediately, or there may even be no fish all the time.

But at this time, if there are fish holes, they are definitely frozen.

But the ice is not very thick and can be easily broken through.

Under the illumination of kerosene lamps, the two brothers Chen Guohua searched for several holes and finally found the fish.

"Brother, there are really fish!"

Chen Xiaoyue pointed at the entrance of the cave very excitedly.

"You are so awesome. Why are there fish when you come here at this time?"

"Because after the hole is opened, it will not be easy for the fish to find the hole."

After saying a few words, Chen Guohua had already started to break open the broken ice and fished out the fish.

Just throw the frozen fish directly into the dustpan.

In the next hour or so, the two brothers and sisters had walked a lot.

While walking, Chen Guohua taught his sister some science knowledge.

For example, the riverside at this time seems very safe, but in fact it is not safe at all.

If you accidentally fall into a hole or even into a river, something could easily happen.

Therefore, you need to be very careful when walking on the river.

When it was close to eleven o'clock, the two brothers and sisters left the Yongding River carrying more than 40 kilograms of catch.

Xiaomei and Xiaomin at home were already fast asleep.

Silent all night.

The next day, Chen Guohua was awakened by his two sisters.

"Brother, you and your second sister are so awesome. You caught so many fish last night."

It was already getting slightly brighter outside, and Chen Guohua hugged his two sisters into his arms.

The two little guys suddenly acted like quails, too shy to speak.

"Do you dare to catch your eldest brother again?"

Chen Guohua wrapped their thin bodies in quilts and said 'viciously'.

They immediately shook their heads, their pretty faces turning red.

Obviously, they had rarely been so close to their eldest brother before.

At this time, Chen Xiaoyue's voice calling for dinner came from outside.

The two sisters suddenly struggled to get up and ran out quickly.Looking at their backs, Chen Guohua suddenly smiled.

Hey, a movie about two little girls!
After breakfast, the four brothers and sisters Chen Guohua once again took last night's catch and went to the supply and marketing cooperative to sell fish.

The villagers who had just woken up were shocked when they saw this scene.

When did you catch the fish?

At the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative, when Qian Dongsheng saw the four brothers and sisters Chen Guohua, his mouth opened wide and he was speechless for a long time.

He praised Chen Guohua and the others several times in a row.

I also want to ask Chen Guohua when they caught the fish.

As a result, Chen Guohua did not say anything, but just asked Qian Dongsheng to seize the time to weigh himself.

As for Chen Xiaoyue and the other three little guys, they had been warned by their elder brother long ago, so naturally they would not leak the news.

The catch was similar to yesterday, weighing 39 pounds.

The total was four dollars and sixty-eight cents.

There was also a big fish left at home, weighing about two kilograms.

It is a sacrifice that will be used to pay homage to Lao Chen later.

During this New Year, pork, chicken and fish are all prepared, which is already very good.

After getting the money, the four brothers and sisters Chen Guohua went home happily.

Today is the seventh day of Lao Chen's life, a day that should have been very sad.

As a result, the four brothers and sisters were not very sad.

In just two days, the four brothers and sisters had earned nine yuan. Chen Xiaoyue and the three of them were full of hope for the future.

In the morning, all the sacrifices at home have been prepared, and they are ready to go to the tomb to pay homage to Lao Chen.

There was nothing to say about the whole process, except that the three little ones shed tears.

Chen Guohua, on the other hand, had an expressionless face, but he didn't look too sad.

But none of the three little ones noticed it.

When I got home, two people were already at the door.

"Guohua, you guys are back."

The visitors were a father and son, and the old man who spoke was Han Yougen, the more powerful man in Majiafen.

"Uncle Gen, you are here. Sorry, we just went out."

Chen Guohua showed a faint smile:

"Xiaoyue, go get the bowl quickly and pour water for Uncle Gen and Brother Ce."

There is no tea in the countryside, but hospitality must be provided, and a bowl of water is still available.

Han Yougen had three brothers, and he gave birth to eight children, seven of whom were sons.

During the land reform, their family was allocated the most land.

During the First Five-Year Plan, Han Yougen and his two sons also became miners.

Because of this, the Han family has become the family that Majiafen, and even the entire production team, cannot afford to offend.

And Han Yougen is the person Chen Guohua is waiting for.

After saying a few polite words to Han Yougen, Chen Guohua and the other party sat down and chatted.

Rural people don't have that many tricks up their sleeves.

Not long after sitting down, Han Yougen immediately got straight to the point.

"Guohua, we also know that Lao Chen left suddenly."

"I know you told your second uncle that you want to seal this job."

After some preparation, Han Yougen expressed that he wanted Lao Chen's job.

Next to him, his son Han Jice was as silent as a piece of wood.

After being kicked by his father, he stammered a few words in a daze.

Chen Guohua listened with a smile, but just waited for words of agreement.

Nothing substantial to say.

Seeing Chen Guohua like this, Han Yougen secretly cursed a little slippery man and said with a smile on his face:

"Guohua, look, you transfer the work, this is the best."

"Now that you have money in your hands, you four brothers and sisters will no longer have to be so rigid in their lives. Moreover, it will be easier for Xiaoyue to find a job when she becomes an adult."

"How about you tell me the number?"
