My family is poor, and no girl is willing to fall in love with me. Even girls from poor families cannot stand in their eyes. They still want to change their destiny through marriage.

Until now, no one has proposed marriage to me, not even once. I didn't think anything of it, but it became a worry for my mother. She has asked Matchmaker Zhang many times to keep an eye on me if there is a suitable girl.

I agreed readily every time, but never stepped through my door.

"Mom, don't worry, your daughter-in-law will be here soon, I promise you. Just be ready to see your grandson!"

The mother threw the dumpling skin on the panel and snorted, "Look at the grandson? I think you are pretending to be a grandson!"

The father sighed, "Oh, it's really difficult to find a wife. We have to renovate the house first, right? What girl would be willing to live in such a shabby house?"

This house in my house is my father's concern. The three rooms are short and dilapidated. The house is the old house where my grandparents once lived and was left to my father. There are two rooms next to each other on the east side, which belong to my uncle. The house has collapsed.

Many years ago, I only had a vague impression that my uncle's family went to other provinces, and they never came back after they moved away. Even during holidays, I never saw my uncle."

Someone advised my father to buy his uncle's two rooms so that he could build a big house.

My father also had this idea and contacted his uncle on the phone. The uncle asked him how much he would pay?

Of course my father didn't want to spend more, but 1,000 yuan was a lot for a place with two rooms. The uncle left a message, just leave it alone, and never heard from him again.

The two houses are adjacent to the hillside. The place left by my uncle is not suitable for anyone except our family. No matter how much money my father can afford, no one else will care about it.

"Dad, how much would it cost to flip this house?"

Regardless of whether I can find a wife or not, I am not worried about my parents living in this dilapidated house and it is necessary to renovate it.

My father gave a wry smile and said, "It's at least 100,000. The salary is too high now. It will take at least three years for you to make money by working part-time."

"No dad, we will build it this year!"

I spoke firmly, not only to reassure my father, but also to make a decision for myself. After saving enough money, I would make arrangements for my parents to live in a new house as soon as possible.

The dumplings were wrapped, and my mother lit a fire and boiled water to cook them. My father wanted to take a few sips with me and prepare a dish.

"Don't you often say that the more wine you drink, the more dumplings you get! Can't you make dumplings with fennel and meat? There are a lot of dumplings. If you make too many dishes, you won't be able to eat them. It's a hot day."

My mother doesn't support my father's cooking.

"Dad, don't do it, I'll figure it out."

I got up and left, and when I came to the back of the house, I knew that my dad had planted some vegetables there for my own convenience. In fact, I didn't go into the vegetable patch at all, but into the space and picked a few cucumbers.

When my parents saw that the cucumbers I brought were thick and long, they seemed to be seeing monsters.

"Where did you get it?"

"I picked them behind the house. I saw these ones were relatively big, so I brought them here. Dad, mix the cucumbers with minced garlic. You can make dumplings or use them as a meal. Is that okay?"

"Ok, Ok!"

My father washed the cucumbers and I peeled the garlic.

This meal was very enjoyable. My father and mother both said a lot, all for my sake. I had to reiterate it again in the end, letting them rest assured that our family's life will get better and better.

Mom said I was talking drunkenly.

After dinner, my parents went to rest. I received a call from Big Beard. I was afraid of disturbing my parents, so I answered it outside the house.

"Brother, the fish are sold out. Where is your friend's fish farm? I'm going to buy some. There's nothing left to sell this afternoon."

This bearded man posed a problem for me. I had obviously told him to go back to my hometown today and deliver goods once, but he still asked me where the fish farm was. How could I tell him?

He was urging me urgently on the phone, as if not selling for half a day would cost him his life. He was already on the road, driving a double-cab car to Shigou Village, and insisted on taking me to my friend's fishing ground.

If he really comes to the village, where can I find a fishing ground for him?

Come to think of it, not far behind the village is the river ditch I used to play in when I was a child. Following the river ditch to the west, there is a pond there. The pond is not big, only about 50 square meters.

According to the elders in the village, this pond is bottomless. Even if the water in the small river ditch dries up, the pond has never been dry. Because it is unfathomable, no one dares to go inside. Here in our Shigou Village

It is a mysterious area.

The pond is surrounded by shrubs. It is very hidden in this nook and it is difficult for outsiders to find it. I plan to use this pond as a cover to deal with the bearded man.

I went home and found a thin rectangular board with a stick nailed in the middle to make a sign. I rummaged through the box and found half a bottle of ink and a bald brush, and scrawled four big characters on the board.

"Special Fishing Ground", put the sign next to the pond.

After doing all this, I entered the space. Strings of cucumbers were hung on the racks, and the small bamboo poles were in danger of being broken. The dozen or so cucumber seedlings I planted later have already grown flowers. This cucumber needs some thought.

Processing, I'm worried that it will rot over time.

I couldn't care about this for now, so I took the fish basket out of the water, poured the fish into the bucket and basin, and then threw the miscellaneous fish and small fish back into the water. I didn't stop until I thought it was enough for the bearded man to pull a cart.

I went back and forth in and out of the space several times and put the fish bucket on the edge of the pond. I also dried the fishing net there. This was intended to show the bearded man.

He also picked up a basket of unsorted fish from the space and dumped them into the pond. If the bearded man looked at the pond, he couldn't let there be no movement at all. He released a few fish to try to catch the fish.

I made a phone call and learned that the bearded man had arrived in the countryside and would arrive in ten minutes, so I went to the village entrance to pick him up.

The double-cab car drove slowly into the village, and I guided it from the front. From behind my house to the river, we could no longer move forward.

The big beard got out of the car and followed me to the pond. He carried the fish bucket by bucket to the car until it was full. The big beard took a breath and said to me:

"Oh! Brother, this is really a unique fish pond! The location is so secret. If you hadn't brought me here and led me, I wouldn't have found it."

"Brother is right, this is the characteristic of the fish pond. Hahahahaha! Brother, you are here in a hurry at noon. You must not have eaten yet. I just happened to make a lot of dumplings at home. Come on, come and have dinner with me.

."

I really didn't want him to stay by the pond any longer, so I became polite to him. If he wasn't here to eat at this time, he should leave.

The bearded man seemed to be very interested in this fish pond and said hurriedly: "Brother, I have already eaten. Your sister-in-law bought me two sesame cakes and ate them in the car. You don't know, this fish is so popular."

.There was no fish for sale in the afternoon, so I was anxious! So I came. Don’t blame me for being abrupt, I just know the place, and I can come directly to fish in the future, saving my brother the trouble of traveling around.”

Damn it! This is not okay! How can I let him come here every day?

"Brother, don't worry about sending fish. My friend doesn't like people coming to his fish pond. Let me tell you, few people in our village know about this fish pond. Brother, do you know why?
