Catch the sea: start with a sand shovel and take over the entire beach

The dock is lively all day long, and it is also the place where gossip spreads the fastest.

"Aqin, I heard that you beat up the boy from the Gu family. Why?" Lao Zhu from the canteen asked curiously as he watched him pass by.

"It's nothing, I don't like him."

Maybe he left after beating the person that day, and Luo Tian and the others didn't want to publicize it, so no one knew about his rescue.

"That's a good beating. Let me tell you, I've been unhappy with Gu for a long time, but I don't have the courage like you. I heard that you beat him up. I was very happy yesterday."

Zhao Qin paused and looked at Lao Zhu, who was still very happy.

"Lao Zhu, do you have a grudge against the Gu family?"

"Oh, it's nothing. My family owns a piece of land next to his family. This family is so unscrupulous that they often put water from my land into his family's house at night. I told his family twice, but he refused to admit it."

Zhao Qin said softly, "I've avenged you by beating the guy named Gu."

Lao Zhu smiled and nodded, completely unaware of Zhao Qin's persuasiveness.

"I'll help you get revenge. It's not too much to treat me to a bowl of noodles, right? Let's go for a walk, let's go together, Peng Laoliu's beef noodles?"

The smile on Lao Zhu's face suddenly froze, and he had the urge to slap himself in the mouth. He raised his hand and nodded Zhao Qin, and then he laughed again.

After locking the canteen department, the two of them walked to the noodle shop arm in arm.

"Boss, please have two beef noodles. Add more beef and more noodles."

"You say this every time, how much will Peng Laoliu give you?" Lao Zhu felt that Zhao Qin was just trying to keep his mouth shut.

But when the two men's noodles were served, he clearly felt that Zhao Qin's bowl had more meat, and he was quite dissatisfied. "Lao Liu, we don't see each other at the dock every day, so why does he have more meat than me?"

Peng Laoliu sat aside, took out a cigarette and lit it, and smiled, "Lao Zhu, you come to my noodle stall ten times in a month, and you come to my noodle stall once in ten months. Who do you think I should give more to?

Also, every time I go to your store to buy something, you don’t say that you give me a [-]-[-] cent discount just because we are neighbors. "

Zhao Qin laughed loudly and said to Peng Laoliu: "Lao Zhu is just a profiteer. There is nothing wrong with what you said."

"Hey, Aqin, I'm treating you today. Believe it or not, I'm going to leave right now out of anger?"

"If you leave without paying, believe it or not, I will go to your store to buy something for zero yuan later."

“What is zero-yuan shopping?”

"A way of shopping for poor people in the United States..."

Zhao Qin explained the zero-yuan purchase, and the two of them were stunned for a while.

"I'll go, it'll be great. I heard people say that the old and Americans are living a good life. It turns out it's such a good way to get everything for free." Peng Laoliu said with emotion.

"Just listen to A Qin's nonsense. People have guns, and the law is a joke." Lao Zhu thought Zhao Qin was talking nonsense, and Zhao Qin didn't bother to explain.

After eating, Zhao Qin patted his butt and pointed at Lao Zhu, telling Peng Laoliu that the other party would pay the bill.

I strolled to my eldest brother’s house and saw my eldest sister-in-law sitting at the door knitting a sweater. “Sister-in-law, where is my brother?”

"I went to the mountain. I went to check it out yesterday and said that the mango trees were ready for picking. I went with my things today."

"Then I'll have a look too."

"You don't have to do much, it's not much. Your brother will probably be done in one morning."

Seeing that Zhao Qin ignored him, Xia Rong said again: "If you really go, bring a pot of tea. Your brother forgot it when he left. It's such a hot day."

"to make."

After taking the kettle, he walked towards the back mountain.

The so-called back mountains are not high, and there is not just one, but three or four, all belonging to their village. In the past, the Communist Party was big, but now young people go out to work, study, and study.

The remaining older ones couldn't go up the mountain anymore, so Zhao Ping had the opportunity to take over the contract.

There are several small rivers at the foot of the mountain with little water, but they are almost dry all year round. He stopped and took a look, and saw not only groups of small crucian carp, but also crayfish.

The locals don't eat freshwater fish very much because they think it has an earthy smell and is not as tasty as sea fish.

Well, if you have nothing to do some other time, you can come here to play in the wild. He still likes crucian carp soup and mochi.

Zhao Ping planted the most loquats and grapefruit trees, right after he went up the mountain. Zhao Qin had not come here much before, so it took him a long time to find his eldest brother.

"Why did you come up?"

"Come and see, how many more are there?" He said, passing the kettle over, Zhao Ping took it with a smile, and drank a few sips at the spout.

"There are still about ten trees. There is enough sunshine this year, there is no drought or waterlogging, and the mangoes are growing well. I wonder what the price is like?"

The local mantra is that planting a few trees means planting less. It does not mean just a few trees. Zhao Ping probably planted more than half an acre, about [-] trees.

"No fruit seller came to your door?"

"With these few trees, who would be willing to visit us?"

Zhao Qin watched what his elder brother did and learned to pick it too.

Seeing that he really wanted to help, Zhao Ping smiled silently and did not stop him.

It was much faster for two people to do it, and they had almost finished picking it before noon. Zhao Qin looked at the basket on the ground and estimated that it weighed a thousand kilograms.

While sitting and resting, Zhao Qin found that his merit score had actually increased again. Although it only increased by 10 points, it was enough to make him happy.

It's surprising that the luck value hasn't changed.

Regardless of this, he got up and helped his elder brother, and the two began to carry the mangoes down the mountain.

The eldest brother could pick up 150 kilograms in one trip, but he didn't dare to pick up that much, just enough for about a hundred kilograms. After picking up, Zhao Ping had nothing to do, he was as tired as a dog.

"What's next?"

"I called a small truck. There is a factory in the county that makes dried mangoes. They collect them, but they don't know what the market will be like this year. Last year, the price was 2 yuan per pound, and the price was very good."

After a while, the minivan arrived. The driver was Tu Min, who was also from the same village. He was a fat man who could hardly squeeze into the driver's seat of the car. He stood there squeaking and breathing very heavily.

"Hey, Ah Qin also helped go up the mountain to pick fruits?"

"Experience it." Zhao Qin didn't want others to talk about him all the time, about reforming his old ways, so he would reply without hesitation every time.

Tu Min smiled and said no more.

Before the goods were loaded, my sister-in-law brought food. Two large bowls of rice, and the dishes were quite rich. There were not only pickled salted fish, but also cucumber scrambled eggs and a small pot of seaweed and shrimp soup.

The two of them finished the meal quickly, and then finished loading the goods.

"Brother, if you are tired, I will follow you to sell it. I just plan to go to the county town to have a look."

Tu Min sneered in his heart, thinking that Zhao Qin had changed his gender. It turned out that he was waiting here because he wanted to swallow the money from selling mangoes. He thought that Zhao Ping would definitely not agree. Even if Zhao Ping agreed, Xia Rong Will also refuse,

Without thinking, Xia Rongdang spoke first: "Okay, let's go to Aqin hard. Your brother happened to be digging the vegetable patch at home in the afternoon."

Seeing Tu Min's mouth wide open with a look of disbelief on his face, Zhao Qin said angrily: "Let's go, it's so hot."

The car happened to pass by the door of the old house. Zhao Qin asked Tu Min to stop. He entered the house and stuffed the money into his pocket and put his ID card on it.

"Lao Tu, how much does it cost to go to the county?"

"It's 50 yuan for a round trip. It's from this village, so I think you're higher than that. It's [-] kilometers one way, and the oil is so high. I added it yesterday and it went up to [-] yuan, [-] liters. I can't even live anymore." .”

Zhao Qin:......

One liter of 2.36 will stop people from living? I didn't see eight or nine yuan.
