Chapter 28: Really changed
Li Changkuan was the youngest of his cousin's family and one of his closest friends. After getting married, the two became estranged.
He is the kind of person who likes to toss and has been forgotten by the God of Wealth. He makes no money from anything he does. After a year of tossing, he can barely make ends meet for his family.
Li Changkuan was itching to see it, "Hurry up and lend me your copy net."
.......
Li Changle thought that he had not picked up all the fish in the salt-alkali land, so he gave him the net, "I picked up the fish in a pile, so you give them back to me."
"Don't worry, I'll pay you back right away!" Li Changkuan took over the net and started working impatiently. When Chen Yongwei saw a competitor coming, he secretly pointed at the valuable fish to catch.
Li Changle picked up a pile of fish in the salt-alkali land and went to get his net. Li Changkuan held on to it, "Ale, I will pay you back if I catch two more nets!"
"Just two networks!"
"Yeah! Just two nets." Li Changkuan replied, and without stopping, he caught two nets and walked forward with the copy net.
"Go away, two nets, how many nets have you caught? Go home and get it yourself!" Li Changle snatched the net, thought about it and warned, "Go back quietly, wait for the people to come, just It’s none of your business and mine.”
"Oh! Keep an eye on my fish, don't let them escape." Before Li Changkuan finished speaking, he had already run away.
"Ah Wei!" Li Changle shouted to Chen Yongwei quickly, "Hurry up, Ah Kuan will definitely call his brother and the others with his big mouth when he comes back, and then the seven aunts, eight aunts, and the fish in the pond will have nothing to do with us. .”
"Okay!" The two brothers sped up and took advantage of the fact that it would take a while for him to get back, so they both pointed at the expensive fish.
It is said to be expensive, but it only costs one or two cents, or two or three cents. It makes me heartbroken just thinking about it!
What Li Changle and Li Changle didn't know was that half an hour later, countless flashlight lights were pouring towards the bank of the pond closest to their home.
For a time, the pond bank was bustling with people, as lively as when people fished for water chestnuts during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
After more than half an hour, both sides of the long pond were crowded with people.
Chen Yongwei saw more and more people coming over with flashlights, and cursed: "Why do we encounter A Kuan's big mouth? Brother, we should give him a piece of the net and let him fish it out."
Li Changle smiled and said: "That boy, even if you give him the net, he will still go back and call his brother and the others."
Chen Yongwei recalled that when he was a child, the three of them went to the mountains to cut firewood and found a few wild chestnuts. They agreed to pick them up together the next day. However, the guy went home and called his three brothers to pick all the wild chestnuts.
"You're right, that guy has no sense of loyalty at all! Brother, work harder and get as much as you can!"
"Abba, Abba, we are here to help you."
"Abba, there are many fish in the pond, how many have you caught?"
Li Changle turned around when he heard the shouting and saw Li Xiaohai holding a flashlight, and Zhou Ruonan following him carrying a backpack. Li Xiaozhou was standing inside, and the mother and son were pushing through the crowd and walking towards him.
The villager fishing for fish said to Zhou Ruonan enviously: "Teacher Zhou, your little guy is still worried that his father didn't catch the fish. A Kuan said that he and A Wei were the first to find out. They have been fishing here for who knows how long. , look at the fish over there, they are all piled up into hills."
Zhou Ruonan said with a smile: "They originally planned to go to the pond entrance to put down cages, but they happened to meet them."
The two brothers Li Xiaohai ran to Li Changle and saw the fish piled up on the salt-alkali land. They asked excitedly: "Dad, did you catch all of these?"
"Abba and Uncle Awei caught it together." Li Changle proudly took Li Xiaozhou out of the basket, "Fortunately you are here, I was worried about how to get back so many fish!"
Zhou Ruonan looked at the pile of fish and said happily: "Fortunately, my sister-in-law asked me to bring two oilcloth bags and sacks, otherwise I wouldn't be able to put them in."
"It's not just here, there are also in the pond." Li Changle proudly pulled up the net bag tied to the shore, "We put the bass, mullet, and eels in the net bag and raised them in the pond, so as not to kill them and not sell them at a high price. "
Li Xiaohai began to admire his father and felt that since he started making money, he has become smarter than before.
"Wow! So many!" Li Xiaozhou stretched his neck and looked at the fish in the net bag, and asked curiously, "Abba, how many net bags did you bring?"
"Abba brought two, Uncle Ah Wei brought one, and all three were filled." Li Changle took the oilcloth bag from Zhou Ruonan's hand, filled half a bag of water from the pond, put it on the backpack, and then put the net bag The fish inside were poured into the basket.
The second net bag was half empty before the basket was filled. The basket was packed with fish, which looked like seventy or eighty kilograms.
Zhou Ruonan handed the flashlight to Li Xiaozhou and took Li Xiaohai to put the fish in the saline-alkali land into the net bag. Chen Yongwei came over with the net bag, "Brother, we won't squeeze with them. Let's take the fish in the net bag to A Dong's house first." Sold."
"Okay!" Li Changle handed him the oilcloth bag, "Bring your basket over and put the oilcloth bag on it to contain the fish."
"Okay!" Chen Yongwei took out the ground cages and bait from his backpack, and a stinking smell instantly spread in the air, "Brother, what should I do with these ground cages? If they don't go down tonight, the bait will be gone It can’t be used anymore.”
Li Changle thought for a moment and thought that if he went back to sell the fish and then put them in underground cages, it would be better to go to the beach to put them in. "We will send the fish to the pier and sell them, and then go to the reef beach to put them in underground cages."
Zhou Ruonan interjected: "Ale, it's already past nine o'clock, and the tide has already risen. How about forget it?"
Li Changle thought that it was still early after nine o'clock, "It would be a pity not to use these baits. After selling the fish, we'd better go to the entrance of the pond."
Zhou Ruonan glanced at him and felt that this man had really changed. In the past, when he said this, he immediately agreed.
"Okay!" Chen Yongwei started working happily. The fish in the three net bags just filled two backpacks. He tied the sacks filled with fish with hemp rope and placed them horizontally on the backpacks. "Brother, I will put these first." Carry it back and pick you up later."
"You go back and put the dead fish at my door, and send the live ones to A Dong's house first. I will come back after you."
"Okay!"
Li Changle helped pick up the fish from the salt-alkali land and put them into sacks. The two of them lifted the sacks onto the baskets and put them away. They squatted down and carried them hard, "You guys wait here for Ah Wei to come get the cage."
Zhou Ruonan saw that all the fish had been taken away, "No, you tell Awei to stop coming, and I will take the cage and net home."
"It stinks..."
"It's okay!" Zhou Ruonan picked up the ground cage and bait and said to Li Xiaohai, "Take your brother and follow my mother."
"Oh!" The two brothers quickly followed.
Along the way back, the villagers they met looked at them with envy, "Ale has good luck today! All good things have happened to him."
