Rebirth breaks you straight

Soon after the summer vacation, chatting began to think about how to make money. Selling popsicles, collecting fungus, and cicada sloughs are too slow to make money. It is okay to earn some pocket money, but it is not easy to earn tuition fees.

Although Yu Bilian is helping at Chen Zan's house now, she still earns 300 yuan a month, but the family's expenses are also high. The three children go to school, dress and shoes, which one doesn't cost money.After chatting and thinking for a long time, I finally decided to learn fishing from others.

This fishing is not fishing with a fishing rod, but fishing with a line.A thin cotton rope thousands of meters long is hung with a fish hook tied with a thin nylon rope at a distance of more than one meter. Earthworms are hung on the fish hook, and the long line is lowered along the river at night to eat. Most of the bait is omnivorous fish such as yellow bone fish, catfish, carp, crucian carp and so on.This method is mainly used to catch yellow-bone fish, and the price of yellow-bone fish is not low, and can be sold at the price of pork in the market.

The fishing method of platoon fishing was introduced from Fujian. The only person in the village meeting is the old man Chen who lives on the edge of the back mountain.Every spring, after the flowers bloom, old man Chen would carry a hoe and a bucket to look for earthworms everywhere, then go home to bait the hooks, and when it gets dark, he will go to the river to set fishing lines.

Chat took a fancy to this method because he took a fancy to the price of the yellow-bone fish.If a catty of fish costs two or three yuan a catty, if you catch several catties a day, it will be at least a dozen yuan.He heard old man Chen say that if he is lucky, he can catch more than ten catties or even tens of catties a day, which is tens of dollars.This temptation is still quite big, much faster than selling popsicles in the streets.

Chatting brought two bottles of wine to see old man Chen, and worshiped the old man as his teacher.

Chen Zan knew that in his previous life, the price of yellow-bone fish was rising steadily, and in the end it could be sold for more than ten yuan a catty.With the increase in the price of yellow-bone fish, many people in the village have learned to cast row fishing from old man Chen, but that was after [-].In order to make money, chat unexpectedly thought of this method in advance, it can be seen that if you are really poor, you want to change.

Chen Zan knew how hard it was, he and Tan Tian had often visited old man Chen's house to watch the excitement.Look at the old man Chen hanging earthworms on each fishhook, and then hanging the fishhooks on the wet mud paste on the edge of the small wooden basin to fix them.There are hundreds of hooks, and it takes several hours to finish, and sleep is delayed at night. To put it bluntly, it is a time-consuming and labor-intensive task.

After a week, Chat ran to find Chen Zan, wanting some money to buy equipment and a new wooden boat.

Chen Zan said: "There is no need for a boat, let's get an old car inner tube, inflate the tire, put the big foot basin inside the tire, and it should be able to be used as a boat." Inflated tires are always lighter than wooden boats .

After chatting, he slapped his thigh suddenly: "This is a good idea, Xiao Zan, you are so smart!" The tires are not only light, but also much cheaper than wooden boats.

In this way, the chatter was busy non-stop, and the equipment was ready in two days.In order to improve efficiency, Tan Tian began to hire Tan Yang and Tan Wei to help him dig earthworms. There are two hundred earthworms for one yuan, and there are [-] hooks on his fishing line. It costs three yuan to buy earthworms each time.

There is no way, he is too busy to dig earthworms with no one to help him, he has to load the bait by himself, go fishing at night, and catch up on sleep during the day.If there is no one to help, he will have to work one day and one day off, and he will not be able to earn a few days' money in a summer vacation.

Chen Zan was a little worried: "Tanzi, you are too tired like this, and you are still growing."

Tan Tian grinned: "It's okay, my sleep quality is good. I go to release the line at eleven o'clock in the evening, and I can sleep until five o'clock before retrieving the line. I can come back to sleep after selling the fish. I don't sleep every day. Doing this, I take a day off every three or four days."

Chen Zan thought for a while and said, "Why don't you sell popsicles?"

Tantian has caught fish twice, and each time the income is 30 yuan: "I still don't sell popsicles. Although I don't lack sleep, I still get too hot. I can't make a few dollars a day, and I have to think about whether I can sell them." What to do if you drop it."

Chen Zan said: "Then I will help you, I will help you put bait." Although the earthworm is soft and slippery and disgusting, at least it does not bite.

Chatting waved his hand: "No, I can do it myself, be careful not to catch your hand on the fishhook." How could Chatting be willing to let Chen Zan's hands touch these dirty things.

Chen Zan sighed: "Then be careful yourself." He once told Tantian that he didn't have to worry about tuition fees, and he would help him, but Tantian refused politely.Chen Zan knew that when Tan Tian grew up, he had his pride and self-esteem, and it was normal for him not to accept help from others.

Tantian caught fish, and the vegetables on the dining table at home have also become more abundant. From time to time, he can eat fresh fish. Even Chen Zan's family often has fresh carp, crucian carp and other fish, which are all given by chat .

Chen Zan loves fish, and he is especially good at making crucian carp soup. He can boil the fish soup into milky white, the fish meat is crispy and tender, and the fish soup is delicious.

Chatting loves to drink the fish soup made by Chen Zan. Whenever he catches a big crucian carp, he would take two fish home to make fish soup for Chen Zan. Two fish, one pot of soup, enough for two families to drink.According to chatting, Chen Zan did it together by the way, saving time and effort, and saving firewood.So every time Chen Zan prepares a bowl and brings it to Chat's house.

Fishing is not the same as selling popsicles. Fishing occasionally has additional harvests, such as soft-shelled turtles.

In the early 90s, artificial breeding of soft-shelled turtles had not yet developed, and most of the wild soft-shelled turtles were on the market. However, the number of wild soft-shelled turtles was limited, and the supply was always in short supply, so the price was very expensive.A pound of soft-shelled turtle can be sold for dozens of yuan.

Chen Zan found that Chat's luck was not bad. He just went fishing for a week and caught a soft-shelled turtle weighing one catty and one tael.But it spoiled the chat, this is really a windfall, old man Chen said, now the soft-shelled turtle can be sold for about 40 catties.He went to the town to inquire about the price, and they were only willing to give [-] yuan a catty. He was reluctant to sell it cheaply, so he took the soft-shelled turtle back.

Chen Zan volunteered to go to the county town to help him sell the soft-shelled turtles. With his perseverance and sharp tongue, he finally sold 51 catties.

He also specially found an oxygen bag for chatting fish at the fish and shrimp market, because the weather is too hot, and once the fish leaves the water, it is very easy to die.With the oxygen bag, it can guarantee that the fish will not die within a few hours.As for where the oxygen comes from, I have my own way of talking. He went to the hospital to buy it from someone else. A tire of oxygen costs two yuan and can be used for two days.

When he handed over the money to Tantian, he was so happy that Tantian really wanted to pounce on him and kiss him.

Tan Tian looked at the yellow-green 50 yuan banknotes, which were so beautiful that he couldn’t see them. After being intoxicated for a while, he raised his head and said to Chen Zan: "Xiao Zan, do you see that this is much faster than selling popsicles? I want to sell them." It takes only six or seven days for the popsicles to earn this point. It’s a pity that there are fewer soft-shelled turtles now, if only we could catch them every day.”

Chen Zan was also happy for him, looking at his dark red face, his heart was still uncontrollably sad.He staggered his eyes: "Think beautifully, if there are so many, then it's not rare, and the price is the same as cabbage."

Chatting with a smile: "That's true. I heard from my mother that she had a lot of soft-shelled turtles when she was a child. My grandfather could pick up one or two when he went out for a walk in the evening. But it was really worthless at that time. Thank you You haven’t eaten soft-shelled turtles before, so next time I catch one for you to try.”

Chen Zan only took him as a joke: "Come on, I've already received my wish. If you catch a soft-shelled turtle, let's sell it for money."

Unexpectedly, what Chatting said would be fulfilled soon.That day when Tantian went fishing under the river dam, he caught a whole family of soft-shelled turtles. There were five big and small turtles in total.

Tan Tian put a bag of soft-shelled turtles in front of Chen Zan proudly: "Xiao Zan, choose which one you want to eat!"

Chen Zan opened his mouth wide and looked at the turtles, looking at Chatian in disbelief.Tan Tian tried his best to hold back his laughter, but his brows were already raised high.Chen Zan bumped Chat's stomach: "Come on, laugh as much as you want!"

Chatting finally showed his true colors: "Hehehe, hahaha, I got rich today, and there are so many, let's kill one and eat it."

Chen Zan shook his head: "If you don't eat it, sell it all, or should I sell it for you?" When you need money, how can you be willing to eat such a precious thing by yourself.

Chatting anxiously: "No, you catch one first and take it home. I will sell the rest with you."

Chen Zan is not willing.After chatting, he reached out and grabbed the biggest one and stuffed it into Chen Zan's hand: "This is for you! Try it for you and your parents."

Chen Zan was so frightened that he quickly withdrew his hand: "No." Such a big one, even bigger than the last one, probably worth a hundred bucks, what a pity to eat it for himself.

The turtle fell to the ground with a snap, startling both of them.Chen Zan hurriedly squatted down to check, the guy was startled, and retracted his head and limbs.Chen Zan poked it with his hand worriedly, and the guy shrunk in even more. He was relieved that it was fine, thanks to the thick shell.

Chen Zan picked it up and put it in the chat fish pocket: "Don't make trouble, jar. I'll catch a small one, and sell the big one for money. Let's taste it." He said and grabbed the smallest one , about three or two weights, small soft-shelled turtles are cheap, 20 yuan a catty, this one is only a few yuan, Chen Zan doesn't feel so guilty.

Chat wanted to insist on giving him a bigger one, but Chen Zan refused, and said with a smile: "I said it was just a taste of something new, can this thing still fill me up?"

He didn't understand why Tantian insisted on giving him a turtle. Could it be because he sold the turtle for him?How did he know that Tan Tian wanted to give him all the best things in the world.

Chatting himself also kept another small one for his family to try out, and two of the other three big ones were taken to the county town to sell, earning a total of more than 200 yuan.

They were going to the county seat by car that day, on the way home, Chen Zan and Tan Tian sat side by side in the seats, Chat Tian was so happy that he couldn't see his teeth, he was still giggling when he got in the car.

Chen Zan couldn't stand it anymore, so he patted him: "Come on, if you laugh any more, you'll be stupid."

Leaning on the car seat, chatting with his fingers, he counted: "Recently, I have been very lucky. The soft-shelled turtle sold for almost 300 yuan, and there are at least 30 yuan of yellow-bone fish every day. Xiao Zan, I have already paid my tuition for the next semester. It’s out. Hehe, I still have to work hard to earn back the tuition fees of Tan Yang and Tan Wei. It’s best to earn some for the next semester, because fishing is not allowed in winter.”

Chen Zan's heart suddenly felt a little sour again. No matter how hard he was in the past, no matter how bad his family's conditions were, he never worried about tuition fees.But chatting has to earn tuition fees for himself and his younger brothers, and he is only 14 years old.

The conditions for chatting in the previous life were even more bitter than this. For a man as poor as Tan Weimin, when his wife left, he would only beat his children to vent his grievances.Chat even the most basic food and clothing is a problem, who has cared about his food and clothing, who has cared about his thoughts, who has cared about his future.nobody.

At that time, didn't I also feel that he was falling into an uncontrollable abyss, and I was afraid of dragging myself down and gradually alienated him.Chen Zan felt that he was very hateful. If he had cared more about him at that time, he might not have gone that way, and there would have been no tragedy later.

Chat is actually such a simple and kind child, he shouldn't have such a gloomy teenage years.Fortunately, I did it all over again, and I still have a chance to make amends, thank God!Thinking about all this, Chen Zan couldn't help but get red eyes.

After chatting for a long time, I didn't hear Chen Zan's words. I turned to look at him and bumped into Chen Zan's red eyes.Chatting suddenly panicked: "Xiao Zan, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying? Did I say something wrong?" He was at a loss and didn't know how to comfort Chen Zan.

Chen Zan shook his head, lowered his eyes, and calmed down his emotions: "Ah, no, I'm not crying. There was a burst of sand outside the window just now, and the sand blinded my eyes."

"Oh." Was it windy just now?Tan Tian raised his head suspiciously and looked out the window, but the leaves didn't move much.

Chen Zan said, "Aren't you going to sleep?" Tan Tian went fishing at night, and every morning when he got home, he had to catch up on two hours of sleep before he started baiting the fishing line.

Chatting was originally exciting, and I didn't feel sleepy. Suddenly, my eyeballs rolled around and I yawned: "Okay, I'll squint for a while, call me when we arrive."

He leaned his head on the back of the chair. After a few minutes, he seemed to have fallen asleep. Slowly, his body began to lean to the right. As the car suddenly braked, he suddenly leaned forward and almost fell into the aisle. , startled Chen Zan next to him, and quickly stretched out his hand to grab it.

Tan Tian opened his eyes, wiped the corners of his mouth, looked around innocently, then started yawning again, closed his eyes, and continued to sleep.After a few minutes, his head began to tilt to the left, slowly approaching Chen Zan's shoulder.

Chen Zan stiffened for a moment, then slowly relaxed.Chatting found a comfortable position on his shoulders, this time he slept peacefully, sleeping all the way to the station.
