Chapter 51

The family were quietly discussing how to deal with the money and jewelry behind closed doors when pan Wenhua knocked on the door. He moved quickly. After long Jianhua came home, he rode his bike to the team and drove back.

Grandma and mother quickly put away the money and jewelry, while long Jianhua looked for baskets and empty buckets.

Seeing long Jianhua opening the door with three empty baskets, pan Wenhua said with a smile, "so many?"

Long Jianhua thought of the small fish, snails and shrimp in the river when pulling Banlangen, and said with a smile, "there are also two baskets, a bucket and a dustpan. Do you have a dustpan? "

Pan Wenhua nodded again and again, "yes! Then I'll take two more baskets. "

After long Jianhua threw all his belongings into the car, pan Wenhua and Wen Jun went out with baskets, buckets and dustpans.

After Wenjun mentioned his belongings to the car, he didn't get down. He sat directly in the car body. Pan Wenhua scolded, "you don't go to work this afternoon?"

Wen Jun said with a smile, "temporary workers don't have much money. It's boring. No, I'll play with you. "

He's lucky. After graduating from junior high school, others were going to the mountains and countryside. His father's unit happened to recruit temporary workers. As a result, he went and didn't go to high school.

After arriving at the destination, long Jianhua checked the situation of Liuyang River. Now entering the dry season, the water depth was not higher than the knee, but he still explained the safety matters to their brothers.

The three had only two chopsticks, one for long Jianhua and one for Pan Wenhua.

After going down the river from the downstream backwater bend, long Jianhua put the dustpan under the water, and then slowly went up along the grass. More than 20 River shrimps appeared in the dustpan, the longest of which was no less than five inches.

After seeing him operate once, pan Wenhua quickly walked across the river with a dustpan and a basket, picked up a dustpan under a cluster of grass and laughed, "Jianhua, how can there be so many shrimp?"

At this time, there are many fish and shrimp in rivers and streams, and there are more snails; The reason is that there are frogs, eels and loaches everywhere in the countryside. There is no oil and water and no time; So few people will think of this. It's also fishing. There's a lot of meat in fish.

Riverside people want to eat, fish a meal or two and stop; If you want to get some money, you can only sell it secretly, and there are not many people who buy it.

Wen Jun picked up snails. There were a lot of snails at the bottom of the river. He bent over and threw them into the basket while picking them up. He kept yelling.

When long Jianhua dragged the baskets full of shrimp ashore for the first time, Wen Jun had picked up a basket of snails for a long time. When he saw that his brother was still pouting his ass and fishing, he shouted, "brother, brother Jianhua has fished a basket full. You're too slow. Let me come!"

Pan Wenhua poured the shrimp in the dustpan into the basket, untied his coat pocket, took out his watch and looked, "it's less than 50 minutes. I'll change it when I fill the basket."

Long Jianhua took the second basket down the river and continued to fish upstream. He was very fast and his action was very standardized.

After walking 400 meters, they filled a basket.

Simple and repetitive work is pleasant to long Jianhua now, because shrimp will come up every time he goes down. Each more shrimp will have more protein at home; Now there is plenty of time, but what is missing is protein.

Time is not worth money, but protein is hard to buy.

When the third basket was half loaded, long Jianhua reached the downstream of the backwater bend. The water here suddenly became deeper and deeper, and deeper and deeper mud appeared at the bottom. He tried to go forward and fished a dustpan. He found that there were more shrimp than before.

Continue to fish forward. When the water reaches half of his thighs and the mud reaches half of his legs, he picks up a bucket of shrimp and says to himself, "if you still fish three buckets, go pick up snails."

After putting the shrimp into the basket, he returned to his original position. When he took a step forward, he was surprised to find that he stepped on the ground, flat; Then he took his left foot forward and stepped into the mud. The mud was deep to his knees and the water overflowed to the root of his thigh.

He was so frightened that he quickly took back his left foot and stepped on the "stone".

Soon, he found that there was something wrong. It was not a stone under his feet, but something else. When testing this "flat land", he found that it was small, square and not high, like square wooden piers or boxes.

"What the hell is it?"

Carefully retreat to the downstream and slowly pick up things. It's a small box made of aloes, because you can also see that there are only small rusty loose leaves in the mud.

The box is not big, about one foot five wide, about two feet long and one foot five high; The box is very heavy, no less than 50 Jin.

Long Jianhua's heart fluttered, "have you made a fortune?"

Even if there is nothing in it, fifty kilograms of aloes wood will be worth money in the future.

Wash the mud on the surface quickly, and the more you wash, the stronger the flavor.

After washing the top half, he found that the seam of the box cover was sealed with wax.

"Well prepared. It's a time to escape. I can't run. I just lost it... Maybe someone was afraid and buried it here at night... In any case, I'm sorry, it's mine from now on. "

He slowly cleaned the box upside down and felt something sliding inside.

After washing, carefully put it into the basket and cover the box with shrimp; When taking out the shrimps on both sides, many shrimps jumped into the river again. Long Jianhua said with a smile, "it's this box that saved your life."

When long Jianhua carried the basket to the car, the pan Wenhua brothers were lying in the grass in the sun.

"Jianhua, it's too cold to soak in the water for too long. Take a break and fill up the remaining two baskets. "

Long Jianhua said with a smile, "have you filled four baskets? fierce! I just have to pick up a bucket of snails and finish the task. "

"Brother Jianhua, shrimp is easy to say. How do you eat so many snails? "

"It can be dried or fried. You won't do it, aunt will do it; But go home and study with me and tell you a new way to eat. "

At this time, there were too many snails. Long Jianhua quickly picked up a large bucket and loaded it into the car. When he saw that Pan Wenhua and his two were still fishing for shrimp and snails, he continued to go down the river, filled the dustpan and helped them fill the baskets.

When he got home to unload, Wen Jun tried his best to pass the bucket to long Jianhua, then picked up the basket with wooden cases and said with a smile, "brother Jianhua, did you pick up a few stones in it, so heavy?"

Long Jianhua said with a smile, "if there are stones, they are also very valuable stones."

After grandpa and grandma carried two baskets of shrimp in, they came to carry this one again. Grandma tried and said, "they are all shrimp. Why is it so heavy?"

Long Jianhua was picking up the bucket and hurriedly said, "it's only a little heavy. I'll come later."

It takes a lot of finger strength to grasp the two sides of the basket and lift it.

Wen Jun shouted, "brother Jianhua, there are only half of the snails in the dustpan. I'll sweep them up for you later."

Long Jianhua said, "then give me the dustpan first and I'll sweep it later."
