Waited until 4:20 pm.

Xu Dahai, dad Xu Houtian, Xu Hu, Shen Feng, plus Li Cai and his son.

Six people finally smashed the dry pit.

Don't take fish that are too small.

Several people loaded the fish onto the tractor. Father Xu Houtian climbed onto the tractor bed, spread the frozen fish like stones evenly in the tractor bed.

Li Cai smiled and said:

"Houtian, you guys have made a fortune this time! With so many fish, I'm afraid I can sell them for hundreds of dollars!"

"Haha, I can't sell it. I can't sell it. There are too many small fish. Buyers only want more than one kilogram."

Father Xu Houtian was also very happy. The red light of the setting sun shone on his face, and some wrinkles smoothed out.

"Hey, that being said, these three- and four-pound ones, as well as these six- and seven-pound ones, won't be thrown away anyway.

At worst, sell it at the lowest price. "

There are not many big fish in this kind of dry pit, because when the river water recedes, the big fish realize something is wrong and retreat with the river water.

Only the fish that are insensitive to the crisis remain.

After a while, the water flow becomes smaller and smaller, the water level becomes lower and lower, and with the ice forming, it will be too late for the remaining fish to swim away.

Eventually he was completely frozen in the ice.

The smallest fish they took away was three or two pounds, no matter how small it was, they didn't want it.

When leaving.

Father Xu Houtian said to Li Cai:

“We came in a hurry and we didn’t have any money with us.

A pound of fish costs 2 cents, and 6 yuan is 30 pounds of fish.

For something like this that weighs almost 2 kilograms, if you pick up 15 of them and take them away, it will be worth the 6 yuan you agreed on before. "

Li Cai hesitated slightly, but finally shook his head.

He felt it would be too troublesome to take the fish away and sell the fish.

Moreover, there was no scale here, and it was difficult to control the weight. He always felt that he was more likely to suffer losses, and finally decided to ask for money.

"Okay, come over tomorrow afternoon to get the money! We'll have a drink together then!"

Father Xu Houtian didn’t say anything more.

After tightening the tractor, click click click click click click click. As the black smoke emitted by the tractor merged with the red light of the setting sun in the sky, Xu Dahai drove the tractor and left first.

Xu Hu, Shen Feng, father Xu Houtian, Li Cai and his son and others followed on the [-]th pole.

As everyone gradually went away.

The wilderness ice pit that had been bustling for the whole day was quiet again.

But the originally smooth ice surface has been smashed into a mess, with broken ice, sludge, weeds and some discarded small fish everywhere.

There are also some ashes left after burning corn straw, which slowly drift away when the wind blows.

All this seems to tell that everyone has been here.

……

On the way back, we walked together for a while.

Li Cai and his father Xu Houtian were riding bicycles side by side and suddenly said:

"Houtian'er, do you want to make money?"

"Of course I want to, but if I'm too tired, forget it."

"I'm not tired. As I told you before, my eldest son lost 200 yuan playing cards. The more I think about it, the more reluctant I am.

I know you are good at playing cards. How about you help me?I'll let my son save another game, and you come and play with them!

If I lose, it's all mine.

If we win, we get [-] cents! "

The Li Cai family is usually very careful with their budgets, and would like to break a penny in half and spend it.

200 yuan!

It was a huge sum of money for his family.

This matter has almost become a problem for him. He can't eat, can't sleep, and smokes more and more.

squeak~

The wheels rolled over the snow and turned rapidly, but my father Xu Houtian had a look of horror on his face and kept urging:

"Get out of here! Didn't I suffer a big enough loss?

I finally climbed out of the pit, how could I fall in again?Caibianzi, I advise you to give up this idea and just treat it like spending money to buy a lesson. "

"I...hey~~"

Separate at the intersection.

Li Cai and his son rode the [-]th pole to the northwest, while Xu Dahai and the others headed northeast.

After returning home.

It was getting dark, and Shengli's mother's goose ran out and was driving it away with a stick.

"Weier~Weier~"

The big white geese were so proud that they stretched their necks very long. The children on the roadside were playing with each other, but their butts were pinched several times by them.

It doesn't hurt to wear it thickly in winter, but the momentum is too scary, and the children are frightened and run away.

"Let's smash the fish! Oh, there are so many fish!"

Shengli, her mother, was wearing a floral cotton-padded jacket and a blue headscarf, looking into the tractor bed.

After seeing the fish in the cart, his eyes were full of envy.

Shengli also went fishing today and caught about ten kilograms of fish. I was quite happy at first.

But now it is insignificant compared with Xu Dajia.

"Auntie, do you want to eat fish?" Father Xu Houtian is quite generous to outsiders.

"If you don't want to eat it, I have it at home."

"It's okay, take it and eat it!"

Father Xu Houtian directly handed the two fish to Shengli and his mother. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the fish scales refracted little rays of light, dazzling the eyes.

Shengli's mother also liked to take advantage, so she pretended to decline and happily took the fish.

This time so many fish came back, and the family was very happy.

The snow in the yard has been swept away, and the little girls Xiaotingzi, Xiaohua, Xiaoxiang, Sanxi and others were dancing rubber bands in the yard.

"Two eight two five six, two eight two five seven, Malan blossoms 21..."

Like little nimble and happy butterflies.

Now they no longer jump on the rubber band, and they are looking at the fish with their hands in the car, talking about which one is bigger.

"Mom, is the meal ready?"

Xu Dahai got off the tractor and took a few little girls off the side of the truck.

"It's cooked! Come inside and eat! Look at how you guys are doing it."

My mother was also very happy to see the fish in the car, but she still disliked them.

After entering the house, I ate and fed the dog.

After chatting and eating for a while, Xu Dahai returned to his courtyard with Shen Feng, Wang Xiuxiu, and Xiao Tingzi in the cold wind that gradually became louder.

"Meow meow meow~"

As soon as the door was opened, the big orange cat, who was already hungry and anxious, jumped out of the house.

The screams were loud and urgent as they circled around the crowd.

"What a lazy cat. He sleeps and eats every day. He eats for free."

Wang Xiuxiu was holding a basket on the crook of her right arm. She broke off a piece of steamed bun from it, broke it into small pieces and threw it into the cat's bowl. The latter quickly ran over and took a big gulp of the rice.

After finishing the meal like a pig, he jumped on the pot table, carefully drank some water from the basin, and then leisurely went back to the inner room to sleep on the kang.

Willow head on the moon.

The night owl flew over, and its unpleasant cry of "Gah~" crossed the night sky, and the surroundings soon fell silent again.

I watched TV for a while and chatted about the fish-breaking experience today. After washing my feet, I quickly turned off the lights and went to bed.

The next day.

When Xu Dahai walked through the crunching snow to his mother's yard, he found that the fish on the tractor had been loaded with a large number of fertilizer bags.

"Dad, have you finished eating? Let's go!? Go early and come back early."

Xu Dahai opened his mouth and let out a long stream of white air.
