Chapter 1657

~14 min read 2,675 words

The 12-meter fish trap had an extraordinarily astonishing harvest.

Everyone worked together, big and small, and it took a full half hour to release the fish that weren't enough in number and those that were too small back into the river.

Even so, the two large plastic basins Chen Xi brought were filled to eighty percent capacity.

Lu Chuan laughed: "It seems there won't be a shortage of fish to eat today and tomorrow."

Looking at Qin Yun and He Kuang again, he kindly comforted them: "With such a harvest, you won't have pressure when fishing, and you won't have to hide it if you come back empty-handed."

Hearing this, the anglers glared:

With their level, how could they possibly come back empty-handed?

Besides, who fishes for food these days? It's all for dignity!

Everyone snorted coldly, deciding that they must bring their equipment at four o'clock in the afternoon to wash away their previous shame.

The sun gradually rose; although the morning sun wouldn't make the body hurt, the temperature was gradually becoming unbearable.

What's more, the golden sunlight was very dazzling. Everyone put on their hats and stared at the two basins of fish and shrimp that were still jumping:

"How are we going to move this back?"

Should two or three people carry one basin?

Chen Xi had just finished cleaning up, and couldn't help but be happy, his increasingly dark face full of smiles.

He waved his hand: "You guys just have fun, there are people to do this work."

He also greeted casually: "Chen Chi, ride the tricycle to transport this over."

"Okay!" Chen Chi responded loudly, and soon rode a date-red tricycle from the shed on the river beach.

When Qin Yun and the others came last time, Chen Chi wasn't there. Now, seeing this tall and sturdy guy over 1.9 meters, they couldn't help but marvel.

Seeing the other party pick up the large basin with extra agility:

What great strength!

Everyone was even more impressed. He He Tuoluo was followed closely by Xiao Shi, and the disappointment from the tug-of-war had vanished, replaced by worship:

"I want to grow up like this too!"

He rushed to He Kuang's side: "Dad, did you hear that? I want to grow up like this too!"

He stood on tiptoe and gestured: "So tall, so strong, and good-looking!"

However, He Kuang, who had an average build, was over 1.7 meters tall, and was already starting to gain weight in middle age:...

He said sincerely to his son: "Otherwise, you should practice playing basketball in the future, and I'll buy you more calcium tablets."

He wasn't tall, and his wife wasn't tall either. Although He He Tuoluo was growing very fast now and his height was shooting up, who could say if he would stop growing after puberty?

Sigh.

He couldn't bear to use genetic probability to hit his son, so he just looked at Chen Chi and envied him again: "Really tall."

The women's perspective was different.

Chen Chi looked as likable as Song Qiao Song Qiao. Almost no one would feel ill will toward such a big boy with clear eyes and obedient behavior.

After inquiring, they learned that they were brothers—

Oh my, Lu Chuan has a good heart, and the girlfriend he found also has a good heart!

Such a simple child with great strength, if placed in the hands of a black-hearted boss, who knows how he would be exploited!

When He Kuang's family was renovating before, it was like this when they needed to knock down walls.

A boss brought five or six mentally disabled children, making them use hammers and carry construction waste. Clearly, that job took most of the day and earned several thousand, but for these employees, he only bought two steamed buns from the supermarket at noon.

Those buns were neither solid nor fresh, and could be squeezed into a small ball with one hand. It would be strange if they could be full!

He Kuang's mother was stingy during the renovation, wanting to save money here and there, but facing several big guys who couldn't eat their fill, she went downstairs and bought a roast duck for each of them.

A roast duck in a local ordinary electric rotary oven could be bought for twenty-something yuan. While hot, it was quite fragrant.

The few big guys doing hard labor were happy and had a rare full meal.

The boss pretended to sigh to them: "It's not that I'm cruel, if I gave them such good food casually, they wouldn't work well."

He also said: "Children like them, if they don't come out to work with me, they have no way to survive in their hometown. Either their parents can't take care of them and abandon them, or they are disliked by their brothers."

"They follow me, and the ten miles and eight villages know that they can have a meal in the future, so they won't be abandoned as soon as they are born."

If this was said to Chen Xi, he would be very familiar with it.

At home, Chen Chi was almost sold to such a person by his mother.

No matter how high-sounding the boss's words were, and whether there really were such benefits, it was a fact that he mistreated these people doing hard labor.

Although every boss would complain that work is hard to do nowadays, or that there is often no work, etc., recruiting such disabled people not only saves taxes but also uses others' sympathy to attract business or report high prices...

The government itself also has various subsidies.

In short, Song Tan is willing to recruit such brothers, and seeing them raised tall and strong with sufficient nutrition, her character is truly good.

With this secret appreciation, everyone had a better impression of this ordinary mountain village.

It's just that now their bodies and hands were inevitably stained with fishy smell, and if they continued to sigh, they would be pickled into a fish.

Everyone washed vigorously at the faucet while laughing:

"If we go to the clinic like this, will we smoke Dr. Guo?"

"That's right, isn't she having an interview today? What if the new employees see that our rural patients are so unkempt and don't want to stay?"

Lu Chuan laughed: "Wouldn't that be better for screening suitable employees?"

Villagers aren't necessarily sloppy, but coming to the clinic is likely something they did while working on the mountain or in the fields.

This kind of heavy physical labor, no matter the weather, always results in a body full of sweat.

If they can't even stand this smell, then they are truly not suitable for this place, and it saves them from resigning after working for a period of time.

He Kuang said embarrassedly: "There are so many of us, you don't have to accompany us all the time. The matters are arranged, the places can be found, we will play by ourselves. You should go do whatever you need to do, otherwise how boring."

Lu Chuan didn't actually feel bored.

He was someone who could sit in the vegetable market for a whole day with a small stool when he was young. Observing people, listening to people talk, and watching people's expressions were just daily routines for him.

What's more, this group of people in front of him had friends, elderly, and children. The words spoken were innocent and romantic, naturally also mature and steady, and at the same time intimate and familiar.

For him, it was also very rewarding, and he didn't feel bored because of it.

"Even if you don't come, my daily itinerary is to walk here and look there."

"Besides, if I really have something to do, I will handle it myself and won't force myself."

That's true.

Everyone was familiar with his personality, and now they had no burden.

It's just that Editor Yun Feng remembered the big fish and meat every day, so he said "Oh my" again!

"The things we prepared for Song Tan's family, haven't we taken them over yet!"

Good guy!

Everyone came to their senses and found it was true!

They forgot yesterday noon, it was too hot in the afternoon, and they ate and slept at night, and didn't drive again, so they couldn't remember it even more.

And Lu Chuan laughed, looking at the weather again: "We can go to Dr. Guo's for a consultation in a while. There are many of us, so it's better not to delay."

Gifts, it's the same whenever you send them.

Oh my!

Everyone felt very embarrassed in their hearts. How can sending gifts be so insincere?

They had eaten several meals, and hadn't expressed it.

Editor Yun Feng thought about it, and suggested: "The sun is still okay, and it's still early, why don't we send the things over."

Otherwise, if they come back from fishing in the afternoon, maybe it will be dark, isn't it inconvenient?

Dragging it to tomorrow would be too unreasonable.

"Okay!" The river beach is right here, they can come anytime, everyone agreed quickly.

Three households, each bringing different things with different focuses.

Those cigarettes, alcohol, health supplements, and various gifts go without saying, but Editor Yun Feng became the focus of the audience.

Nothing else, the 100 sets of books that were heavy and weighed down the car body by several degrees were truly a heavy gift!

The weight is heavy, and the importance is also heavy!

Not to mention Song Qiao Song Qiao, even Wu Lan exclaimed in surprise.

Especially since there were several sets of complete large books inside. Although they were stock books, buying them in a bookstore would still easily be three or four digits.

Such a big gift, although Song Qiao Song Qiao hadn't seen the content yet, he already liked it very much!

He actually had e-book resources and courses, but how could these be as shocking as a set of books?

Song Tan heard the exclamation and came downstairs to see, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Bringing so many books, isn't it overweight?"

Editor Yun Feng saw that everyone liked the gift he prepared, and said reservedly: "It's okay, it's okay."

The load is heavy, and the fuel consumption along the way is actually a lot, but now, it can finally be sent out.

He hurriedly stretched out his hands: "Where to put it, I'll move it."

Completely unnecessary!

I saw Song Tan had already brought two ropes from the warehouse, and wrapped and tied the neatly stacked books, and then easily lifted ten or so books with each hand.

"Send these to the 3rd floor and put them in Song Qiao Song Qiao's study."

Looking at her walking like flying and lifting heavy things as if they were light, it seemed as if she wasn't carrying heavy books, but two balls of cotton.

The moment she stepped on the stairs, Song Tan looked back at Lu Chuan:

"Don't move it, wait for me to do it, this rope is easy to hurt your hands."

Lu Chuan:...

After long-term training, he could now keep his face unchanged.

The people around were looking at him with strange expressions. Qin Yun and He Kuang knew a little about his current fragility, but the parents had complex eyes—

This Lu Chuan looks handsome, and is upright and responsible. Who would have thought he would become like this now?

When working before, I clearly saw his muscles. Could it be that there is a gym in the countryside that plays useless tricks?

Looking at Song Tan, who had already quickly turned to the stairs, the women sighed secretly in their hearts:

Lu Chuan is a very good person, and everyone trusts his character.

But no matter how much they trust him, how could this girl become a love-struck brain?

Sigh!

Lu Chuan silently endured everyone's strange expressions, and acted as if nothing happened:

"There are probably hundreds of duck eggs to be sent over at the river beach. After sleeping at noon, if there is nothing to do, do you want to take you to the factory on the mountain to make salted duck eggs?"

"There is air conditioning there, and workers working, and making salted duck eggs is a bit dirty..."

Oh my, they have come to the countryside, who cares if it's dirty?

The women were excited: "Definitely go!"

How many years has it been since they made salted duck eggs: "Are you using soaking, or yellow mud wrapping?"

This time without Lu Chuan answering, Song Qiao Song Qiao had already skillfully answered loudly: "Wrapped in yellow mud!"

"I'm going to dig yellow mud on the mountain in the afternoon!"

Wu Lan heard it and sighed again: "Really a silly boy who doesn't know how to be tired."

Unlike her, moving a stool to sit there and clean fish, she was impatient after cleaning only five or six.

Aunt Lianhua and Seventh Grandma also cleaned together, skillfully digging out fish internal organs while sighing:

"Recently, this small white fish sells very expensively. I heard from villagers that it cost 10 yuan a jin when they went to town two days ago."

"What?!" Wu Lan said in surprise: "Where is the small white fish in this season worth 10 yuan? It's not winter!"

They need to put more fish fry to raise this kind of fish locally to have enough harvest. Relatively speaking, the cost is a little bit.

But summer is the time for crazy growth. If you copy a net casually, maybe you can get a lot.

She muttered: "No matter how you put it, small white fish is small white fish, how can it be sold at this price?"

Of course, except for their family's.

Boss Chang loves the fish they get every time. Not to mention this kind of braised small white fish that is delicious, it is called covetous!

Young men are at the time of being energetic. Not to mention sunbathing, in this weather, they are full of sweat and don't want to rest at all.

Not to mention these hundreds of salted duck eggs, Song Qiao Song Qiao has to take a few large plastic baskets to dig yellow mud one by one, and then carry them to the car on the side of the road.

But the little girls have different questions: "Digging yellow mud from the mountain, won't there be no soil on the mountain?"

"Brother Song Qiao Song Qiao, I want to go too! Can I go too!"

"My dad bought me a small bucket, a small shovel, and small gloves. Let's go together, can I help you carry yellow mud?"

"I also want to make salted duck eggs! But using so much yellow mud, what if it gets on the mud when eating?"

Yun Yun Danqing looked at the large plastic frames Song Qiao Song Qiao pointed to—so big!

And Song Qiao Song Qiao said proudly:

"We dig the soil of the barren mountain first, and there are several composting places there. When we compost more nutritious and loose humus soil to return to them, the soil will not only not be less, but will become powerful, and vegetables will grow very fast."

Everyone discussed enthusiastically, and had already begun to look forward to the taste of the salted duck eggs they made themselves.

And Lu Chuan sorted out the car and gifts in the trunk, Song Tan came down again and cleared the books that were hardest to move.

As for the remaining cigarettes, alcohol, health supplements, etc., there is no need to consider them. Let Wu Lan clean them up slowly later. I guarantee that she will be very happy while cleaning them up.

And Song Qiao Song Qiao frowned distressingly again in everyone's joy: If it is arranged like this, can his game plan be finished!

?? Sleepy head to the ground, almost fell asleep several times in the middle, fortunately it was written.

? Yeah(='.'=)?
