Chapter 224 A beating before school starts
Li Changle and the other four picked up the fat-eyed herring on the beach and put it into a net bag. Then they tied the two ropes together, tied a slip knot, and squatted down to hang them on their shoulders.
Li Changle held the net bag on his shoulder steady with one hand and held the sack with the other, "Look at me like this, do I look like I'm on the run?"
"How can anyone escape with two bags of fish on their back?"
"Hurry up, it's almost twelve o'clock."
"What are you afraid of at twelve o'clock? Are four grown men afraid of ghosts?"
"Nothing else but a glutton."
"..."
The four of them walked into their yard talking and laughing, and Li's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law heard the sound and came out. They were surprised to see how many people were carrying the thing on their backs, and they quickly stepped forward to help.
"There are so many fish, but another fish overturned the pond?"
"No, A Le and the others..." Brother Li rushed to tell several people where the fish came from.
"No matter whether Ah Le and Ah Wei go fishing or swimming in the sea, it seems like the fish are just there waiting for him to pick them up every time."
"It's true, every time I go out at night and come back, I'm full of fish."
"That's what happens to people who are good at shipping. I remember I went fishing at the fishing ground last year. Among the three ships I was traveling with, the one with good luck had not even arrived at the fishing ground. The cabin was filled with fish caught."
Li Changle felt the same way. In his last life, when he went to sea, when his luck was good, those fish seemed to be waiting for you to catch under the net. When his luck was bad, he could catch dozens of kilograms of small miscellaneous fish in one net, and he didn't even have enough money for diesel.
Precisely because fishing at sea depends entirely on luck, people in fishing villages are extremely superstitious and have so many taboos.
"Mom, you guys go to bed quickly. We will put the fish away and take a shower."
"Okay, remember to bring a few buckets of water and put them in the house to avoid stuffiness."
"I know."
Several people poured the fish in their bags and baskets into rubber buckets, then fetched a few buckets of water and placed them nearby to cool down. Then they took the buckets to the well for a shower, and then went back to their houses to rest.
When Li Changle came home, Zhou Ruonan handed him a dry towel, "I told you, don't wash your hair at night. You'll get a headache when you get older."
"My hair is wet with sweat, and it smells sour if I don't wash it."
Li Changle looked at her pitifully, "Honey, help me wipe it. I caught more than a dozen nets in one go, and my hands are so sore."
Zhou Ruonan glared at him angrily, pulled a bamboo chair over and said, "Sit down."
"Okay!" Li Changle sat down on it, straightened his legs and leaned lazily on the back of the chair, "The blue tears tonight are so beautiful. I have little education and I can't describe the feeling. It's like a dream.
Fantasy, like a dream."
Zhou Ruonan looked yearning after hearing this, "I have only heard of it. I have been coming here for more than ten years and I have never seen it once."
"Big brother said that it happens occasionally in August. I will come back and call you when I see it next time."
"Well!" Zhou Ruonan changed into a towel, "You have thick hair. Next time you go to Lucheng, buy a hair dryer from the black market."
Li Changle nodded comfortably, "The hair dryer is good, you can wash your hair at night from now on."
As he spoke, he remembered something again and turned to look at her with a smile, "There is also good news. A Dongbo said that you should be able to become a full-time employee this semester."
Zhou Ruonan looked at him in surprise, "Really?"
"More true than pearls. A Dongbo heard from Principal Zhou that you work diligently in school and both students and teachers like you."
"How can it be so good? One teacher said that I took my children with me to class and used the school as a nursery."
"Who?" Li Changle's voice suddenly rose, "Which bastard..."
"Are you seeking death?" Zhou Ruonan slapped him, hurriedly went over to close the door, and then went back and pinched him angrily, "Why are you so loud in the middle of the night? My son was woken up by you."
Li Changle looked back at her and lowered his voice: "Who said that to you? Why didn't you tell me? I know I can't beat him to death!"
"Why are you yelling?" Zhou Ruonan pinched him again, "You've already scolded me once for this, and you still want to hit me?
Originally, my position belonged to her sister. As soon as I arrived, the school did not hire her sister. When she complained a few times, you stopped her at the entrance of the village and scolded her, even making her cry. She did not come to school for two days.
.”
After she told him, Li Changle remembered that such a thing had happened. It had been so long, and he had already forgotten about scolding the teacher.
"We went through the back door, but it's true that her sister's test scores are not as good as yours. If the school doesn't hire her, it can't all be blamed on us!"
"If I don't step in, it's her sister who's in trouble! Why don't you give me some weird words? If I want to become a full-time employee this semester, I'll poke her lungs again."
"Then there's nothing we can do. We can't just change her job just to make her feel better, right? We just have to live our own lives. What happens to her lungs and tubes has nothing to do with us."
Zhou Ruonan nodded, "I definitely want to be transferred to a full-time position, but we are not responsible for this matter. It is a fact that I took my child to class before, and they are not talking nonsense. Let her say a few words behind her back to vent her anger.
.”
Li Changle looked at her apologetically, "They all blamed me for not making enough money to support the family before. Xiaohai is in the first grade, so let Xiaozhou stay at home with my mother-in-law, so you don't have to take them to class."
"My mother-in-law wants to help dry the fish. I have made an agreement with my second sister-in-law to send Xiaomei and Xiaozhou to kindergarten when school starts. The children have gone to school, and my mother-in-law can have some leisure time."
Kindergarten costs five yuan per semester. They used to be reluctant to part with it, but now that their family conditions are better, they are willing to send their children there to be locked up.
"This way she won't be able to find anything to say. If she wants to say anything, I'll go find her and give her a few kilograms of fresh food to stop her mouth."
Zhou Ruonan rolled her eyes at him, "You know how to give away fresh goods? I'll be happy if you don't curse people."
"Don't worry, I'm in my twenties now, and I'm not a greenheaded person before." Li Changle carried her to the room, "Go to bed early, you will be busy again tomorrow when school starts."
"You should also go to bed early. You were busy until two or three o'clock last night, and it's almost one o'clock tonight. You have to get up early tomorrow morning." Zhou Ruonan looked at the green shadow in his eyes and said distressedly, "Why don't you just rest at home?
Two days?"
"I don't dare to rest now. When I earn the money to buy the boat, I will take a good two days' rest."
Li Changle yawned several times in succession. He had been so busy since he opened his eyes. He was really tired. He fell on the bed, hit his head on the pillow and fell asleep.
Zhou Ruonan looked at the man who fell asleep in the blink of an eye, smiled and turned off the light, listening to the sound of deep sleep in his ears, he also fell asleep.
It started to rain just before dawn. Li Changle woke up and listened to the sound of raindrops on the tiles. He yawned and lay down again to sleep.
When he woke up again, Zhou Ruonan had already gotten up, and his two sons had also gotten up. There were two schoolbags on the bed, a small blue cloth bag and a military green schoolbag.
"What are you doing up so early?"
Li Xiaohai said crisply: "We have to go to school."
Please...you...collect_(Six\\\Nine\\\Books\\\!)
Li Changle reached out and slapped him on the head, "Study hard, future college student!"
Li Xiaohai put his schoolbag on his back and said to him: "Abba, I can pass the exam!"
"Abba believes you can pass the exam." Li Changle said as he got out of bed and put on his clothes.
"Abba, I don't like this little schoolbag, I like my brother's kind." Li Xiaozhou picked up his little schoolbag and said with a pout.
"If you are in kindergarten, you should carry this kind of thing. If you carry my brother's kind, you should carry it almost to the top of your feet. I will buy it for you when you are in first grade."
The little guy twisted his butt and folded his hands, "I don't like it, I don't want it."
"If you don't like it, don't carry it. What kind of schoolbag does a kid want?"
As he spoke, Li Changle rubbed his curly hair a few times, pulled on his shoes, and hurried out. He had been holding back all night, so he had to drain the water quickly.
Li Xiaozhou licked his messed up hair and shouted at his back: "Abba hates me! I want to be like my brother."
"Li Xiaozhou!" Li Xiaohai glared at him, "I told you to buy it after you enter the first grade..."
"No!" Li Xiaozhou cried and ran towards the kitchen, "Mom, I don't like my little schoolbag. I want my brother's schoolbag."
"If you don't like it, just give it to Sister Xiaomei!" Zhou Ruonan said without looking back.
"Then you buy me something like my brother's!"
Zhou Ruonan looked back at him, "I told you yesterday that I would buy it only after the first grade. If you don't obey, don't go to kindergarten. I'll just help grandma dry the fish at home."
"I don't want to hang out at home, I want to go to school!"
"When you're not drying fish at home, you just carry your little schoolbag and go to school." Zhou Ruonan walked outside with a bowl of rice in her hands, "Xiao Hai, ask dad to get up and eat."
"Abba went to the latrine." Li Xiaohai came out with his schoolbag, and saw Li Xiaozhou standing there with a pout, "Come here, put your schoolbag on your back, and go to school after dinner."
"Brother, give me your schoolbag to carry for a while, and then I'll eat."
"Okay, let me carry it for you for a while." Li Xiaohai took off his schoolbag and put it on his back. The two brothers went over and climbed on the stool to sit down, waiting for the meal.
Li Changle came back from the latrine and washed his hands in the ditch. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Li Xiaotao running out of the house crying.
Mother Li, who was sitting on the eaves killing fish, raised her head and said, "Xiao Tao, you are really ignorant. I heard your mother-in-law asking about your homework the day before yesterday, and you said you had finished it."
"I didn't mean not to write it, I really didn't see it..."
"Stay stubborn!" Sister-in-law Li pointed at him with a bamboo stick, "I told you two days ago that I was going to sign up, so hurry up and finish your homework. When I came back yesterday afternoon, I ran around outside without even checking my homework.
You're going to register today, you're still doing your homework, and you've turned a deaf ear to what I'm saying. You have to make me angry to death, right?"
Li Changle added fuel to the fire, "Well done, you can't even finish a little homework after two months of leave, so you deserve the beating."
"...I did it!" Li Xiaotao looked at him with a look of resentment.
"Yes, then what were you doing just now?" Sister-in-law Li became more and more angry as she spoke. She rushed up to pick up the bamboo stick and swiped it again.
Li Xiaotao rubbed the painful hand while running, "I really did it. I didn't mean not to finish it. I didn't see there was another page on the back..."
"You have so many reasons that you can't register, so just stop studying and help dry the fish at home." Sister-in-law Li said and pointed at Li Xiaoyang, "What about you? Have you finished your homework?"
"I finished it the day before yesterday. If you don't believe me, just ask Xiaoqing." Li Xiaoyang hurriedly pulled Li Xiaoqing, fearing that the flames of war would burn to his head.
Li Xiaoqing nodded hurriedly to testify, "It's done!"
After Zhou Ruonan looked at Li Xiaotao's homework, he said to Sister-in-law Li: "Xiaotao didn't lie, there really was only one page left to do. He wrote carefully and finished it quickly. Let him make up the homework quickly and do it later.
Go sign up."
