Chapter 42

Li Hongwei also found a big iron bucket to hold the scorpions in the daytime, and he also prepared enough dry batteries, so he planned to have a big fight at night.

With last night's experience, it's easier tonight.

Mei Xiaoran is like a strategist general. When the fluorescent lamp in his hand shines on the scorpion, Li Hongwei and Mei Xiaolei rush to catch him, just like a soldier in front of him.

Mei Xiaolei was a little afraid at first, but after catching a few, he became more and more bold and skilled.

"Brother in law, Lei Lei, when you catch a scorpion, you must pay attention to it. You must not be stung by it!"

Although we have taken protective measures, Mei Xiaoran still reminds us that Scorpions are poisonous and can stung.

A few hours later, the three returned with full loads.

Li Hongwei, holding a big iron bucket, was so excited that he wanted to scream. Tonight, at least, he also caught five Jin scorpions. This is 50 yuan!

How much can workers earn in a month? They can earn 50 yuan a night for a few junior high school students.

In the evening, Li Hongwei saw Mei Zhonghua when he sent the Mei family back. Mei Zhonghua could not help asking, "what have you three done in the middle of the night? Look at the mud on your feet

"We're playing in the wild. There must be mud on our feet."

"Xiao Wei, you are an uncle. Why do you want to lead them running around. The autumn vacation in school is to ask you to help with farm work at home. As a result, the three of you are crazy? " Mei Zhonghua saw the big iron bucket in Li Hongwei's hand and asked curiously, "what are you doing with such a big iron bucket? You didn't steal, did you? "

"Dad, you look down on us, too. Do you think the three of us are thieves?"

Mei Xiaoran felt that if she went out to catch scorpions every night until midnight, she would not be able to hide it from adults. She might as well take advantage of this opportunity. If you talk to her mother, you can't, but if you talk to your father, you have half the chance to rebel.

"Dad, I'll tell you the truth. My brother-in-law's bucket is full of scorpions. The three of us went up to catch them in the evening."

"Catch a scorpion? Not afraid of stung you? "

Mei Zhonghua was surprised at first, but also felt dangerous. Then he looked at the big iron bucket and couldn't help frowning, "how many scorpions can you catch? How dare you use such a big bucket? " I'm going to open it.

"Big brother!"

"Dad

Mei Zhonghua has opened the iron barrel. A big scorpion climbs up the back of his hand. He is scared to throw his hand and the scorpion falls to the corner.

The three children couldn't help laughing.

"Angry meizhonghua put on a solemn face," just how dangerous, you still have the face to smile? "

"Dad, you see, we've got so many scorpions."

Mei Zhonghua thought for a while and asked, "what method do you use to catch so many scorpions?"

Without waiting for Li Hongwei and Mei Xiaoran to speak, Mei Xiaolei, the traitor, betrayed everyone. He not only took out the tools for catching scorpions, but also demonstrated them in person to prove how capable they were to catch so many scorpions.

"This little fluorescent lamp can make such a big difference?"

Mei Zhonghua thought it was incredible, but it made his heart itch. He immediately said, "from tomorrow night, I will catch scorpions with you."

"Dad, you are robbing our business!"

Mei Xiaoran doesn't want to have her father as a partner. Based on her father's experience, catching scorpions without fluorescent lamps is also an expert. If there is a fluorescent lamp, it will be more like a fish in water. What's the matter with the three of them?

"I'm going to buy a fluorescent lamp tomorrow too. Let's divide it equally after we catch it, so it's all right?"

Mei Zhonghua did not ask the children why they caught scorpions, but he also guessed that his brother-in-law was so active that it must have something to do with money.

But scorpion is valuable. Why can't he join in? Recently, there is no shortage of food in every family. His small business is really hard to do. It took him half a month to earn the ten yuan and eight yuan. If he can catch scorpions to take out, he can earn dozens of dollars in that day. Maybe he can make more profit than the watermelon business at the end of summer. If he doesn't do it, he will lose too much!

The next day, Mei Zhonghua went to help his father-in-law collect the crops. After that, he rode a permanent car to the Department of wujiaohua to buy a fluorescent lamp.

By the end of the night, the scorpion team has become four people with more complete tools.

One night, he caught two whole iron barrels of scorpions.

Mei Zhonghua also went to sell it. When Mei Zhonghua finished selling and took out the money, everyone was shocked.

Mei Zhonghua put the money on the table, showing a sad look, "the drugstore boss is really black hearted, bullying you are all dolls, do not understand the market! I went to the drugstore today and found out that the price of dead scorpions is 10 yuan, and that of living scorpions is 15 yuan. We caught more than 8 Jin scorpions last night and sold them for more than 100 yuan. "

Li Hongwei a listen, heartache of random jump, will go to the pharmacy account.

"Xiao Wei, even if you go there, you won't admit it. Don't sell that price in the future."In fact, Mei Zhonghua doesn't know what kind of beauty has become in her heart, but she still has to pretend to be serious and give everyone a share of "dirty".

Li Hongwei and Mei Xiaoran's brother and sister are one, and Mei Zhonghua is one of them. They are very excited when they get more than 60 yuan.

After getting the money, Li Hongwei made an account in his mind. In the past three days, his income was more than 100, which was not far from buying a bicycle. If he caught a few more days, he would be able to earn tuition and pocket money for the next semester.

But he did not dare to say it. He had to calm down and wait until he had enough to put it in front of Sister Li. He had to give her a big surprise.

Mei Zhonghua, who earned more than 60 yuan a night after catching scorpions, was also very excited. However, in front of the children, he wanted to protect the dignity of adults, and told them that they should not spend money indiscriminately and not be too ostentatious to let others find out.

Or Mei Xiaoran told him the truth, "Dad, my brother-in-law wants to buy a bicycle for my aunt. If we catch scorpions like this, we can save enough money in a few days. But my brother-in-law doesn't have bicycle tickets. You have to think about it."

"I knew that you three dolls must have an idea for catching scorpions. They wanted bicycles..." Mei Zhonghua thought, "if your little aunt rides a bicycle, you should buy it as a light-weight one. It is estimated that this kind of ticket is a little easier to get."

At that time, the most popular bicycles were permanent, Phoenix, flying pigeon and red flag. Among them, the more high-end ones were permanent and Phoenix, as well as light and heavy ones.

Even so, at that time, bicycles were an extremely high status that was hard to obtain. Not everyone could afford a bicycle, and not everyone could get a bicycle ticket.

But Mei Zhonghua thinks that since he has promised the children, he must try his best to get tickets. Otherwise, what prestige does he have as an adult?
