Chapter 4

There is a hook made of wire at one end of the bamboo pole. Hook the thread under the foam and lift it up, and the water will come out in a while.

"Lobsters, so many, so many lobsters." Su Ran shouted excitedly.

At the time I mentioned it, there were four lobsters!

Su Xing poured the lobster into the plastic bucket and walked to the next stage.

Every attempt was successful, with as many as six lobsters and as few as at least two. One of them actually contained a finger-long crucian carp.

In just one morning's work, Su Xing's two snakeskin bags were filled with lobsters. Su Xing spent a lot of effort to get them back.

"You caught so many lobsters in one morning? There is no place to put them at home." There is only a plastic basin for laundry at home, which cannot hold so many lobsters. Wang Chunlan is in trouble.

"Put it in a snakeskin bag, tie it up, and put it on the ground. Just burn some rows of holes on the bag with incense for ventilation." Su Xing said, "Mom, do you know who has a bicycle in the village? I can borrow it and ride it tomorrow.

Take the car to town."

"Can you ride?" Wang Chunlan asked.

"Yes, no problem. Who has it?" Su Xing didn't want to carry dozens of kilograms of lobsters to the town, as that would probably make him very tired.

"Qiang Min has it at home, I'll borrow it tomorrow morning." Wang Chunlan lit a stick of incense and held the snakeskin bag, feeling a little heartbroken, "Such a good snakeskin bag, it's hard to put things in if you poke holes in it, it's a waste.

"

Su Xing has long been aware of my mother's frugality: "How much is a bag? If you don't poke holes in it, the lobster will be suffocated to death and it won't be worth anything."

"You only need to do it for a few days. Don't do it all the time. You should study hard and read books. This is not serious business." Wang Chunlan muttered.

"I know." Su Xing responded, "Please prepare a few more snakeskin bags for me. I'll need them in the afternoon."

The lobsters in the river were a disaster. Su Xing remembered that one summer when he was walking by the river, due to the hot weather, piles of lobsters crawled into the shade of the water plants on the river bank, and he could pick them up directly with a bucket.

But not many people do it, most of them are some children in the village fishing for fun and passing the time.

This is exactly what Su Xing wants. It would be best if he catches all the lobsters in the river before others react. Then his tuition will be paid for. But this is just a thought. In a few days, Su Xing will make money by fishing for lobsters.

The news will definitely spread in the village, and many people will flock to the river to fish for lobsters.

"Mom, please put my two bags of lobsters into four separate bags, or put some holes in the bags. I'll go to Mouse's house to borrow a car." In the evening, Su Xing came back from catching a lot of lobsters and said to Cheng Wang Chunlan.

The rat is Su Hao, and Su Qiangmin is his father.

"It's not too late to go tomorrow morning, why are you in such a hurry?" Wang Chunlan said.

"It's too late in the morning. I have to get up at four or five o'clock." Su Xing had already run out of the door and headed to Su Hao's house.

There are only over 90 households in the village. It is not a big village. It only takes five or six minutes to get there from the beginning to the end of the village. When they arrived at Su Hao's house, his family was having dinner.

"Have you eaten? If not, just eat some at my house." Su Qiang saw Su Xing and said with a smile.

Su Hao had already run to the kitchen to serve Su Xing a meal. When Su Xing saw it, he quickly stopped him: "No, stop the rats. I've already prepared food at home. I'm here to borrow your bicycle. I'm going to town tomorrow morning."

Is it convenient?"

Su Hao had already served the rice and some vegetables: "I've already served it for you, just eat it at my house."

"I really don't want to eat it." Su Xing declined politely.

"Why, is it that your food is better than mine, and you don't like my food, so you don't eat it?" Su Qiangmin said with a straight face.

"How come? Then I'll eat here. I'm sorry for bothering my second father." Su Xing would offend others if he delayed it any longer, so he had no choice but to take the bowls and chopsticks and squat at the door to eat with Su Hao.

There is a draft at the door, which is cool.

"What are you doing on the street?" Su Hao asked Su Xing while putting food in his mouth, "Can you ride a bicycle?"

"I know how to ride." Su Xing nodded, "If you have nothing to do at home, come and go fishing for lobster with me tomorrow."

Su Xing caught a lot of lobsters today. He was very busy. He ran back and forth six or seven times. Su Ran was still too young to be of much help. Su Xing was not worried about letting her stay alone by the river. If there was a helper,

It would be much more convenient. Su Xing wanted to bring Su Hao along with him.

"I've wanted to go out to play for a long time, but my dad didn't let me go, saying he wanted me to study hard." Su Hao said, looking back at Su Qiangmin behind him.

"Go if Su Xing tells you to go, but don't play wild. Bring your homework. If you happen to understand something, just ask Su Xing. He is much smarter than you. You will definitely get into a good high school in this exam. You

If you don't pass the high school entrance examination next year, then go home and farm with me. Later, you can divide half of the field into transplanting rice seedlings and harvesting rice, and see if it's harder to study or harder to farm." Su Qiangmin said.

After eating, Su Hao pushed the bicycle out of his house. The 28 bars were a bit high. He squeezed the front and rear tires, filled up some air, and handed it over to Su Xing.

"Second father, I will push the car away." Su Xing greeted Su Qiangmin.

People in a village, regardless of whether they are in the fifth server or not, must be called according to their seniority.

People from the same village would call them uncle, and people from the next village would call them cousins. There must be nothing wrong with calling them cousins.

"Can you ride such a high car?" Wang Chunlan saw Su Xing pushing back the 28-inch big bar and felt a little worried. "There are cars everywhere on the road. Why don't you let your dad take you to town?"

"If I don't give them away, these things are only worth a few dollars, and they ask me to send them to the town to sell them, so that people in the village can see them. What will others think of me? They think that my family can't open the pot, and I have to catch fish and shrimps to buy rice."

Pot." Su Changmin walked in from outside. Hearing Wang Chunlan's words, he immediately objected, "Go and peel two kilograms of lobsters and fry them. I got some dried chili peppers and will put them in together later."

"This shrimp is for sale. I ate it yesterday, so don't eat it today." Wang Chunlan was reluctant to part with it.

"How many bites did you have yesterday?" Su Changmin was dissatisfied, "It's so much trouble to get some shrimps to eat."

"The dishes are already cooked, what else to do?" Wang Chunlan said.

"Then I'll save a few pounds for tomorrow at noon." Su Changmin went to the kitchen and served himself a bowl of rice, then sat there minding his own business and ate slowly.

Su Xing took the unfinished wire and white mesh bag in the morning and went to the door to continue working on it for a while.

"Stop it, come over and eat first." Wang Chunlan shouted.

"I'm eating at Mouse's house. You guys can eat." Su Xing continued what he was doing. The two of us could fish for lobsters for a while longer.

At around 4 o'clock in the morning, the alarm clock rang, and Su Xing got up. There were many mosquitoes on the roof, and he was bitten by several large patches. Su Xing made a cross mark on it with his nails, got dressed, went to the kitchen, and packed up the lobsters.

Wang Chunlan yawned and followed.

"Mom, go to sleep, I'll do it myself." Su Xing said.

"It's impossible to sleep on such a hot day. The mosquitoes are so big that we can't sleep on the roof. All the food we eat is full of mosquitoes." Wang Chunlan helped Su Xing hang the snakeskin bag containing lobsters on the back seat of the car.

He put it on and tied it up tightly. Not feeling very relieved, he said, "I'll go with you."

"It's okay, I can do it, you just stay at home." Su Xing pushed the cart to the village road, stepped on the pedal and slid for a distance. After getting used to it, he quickly passed the other leg under the Henggang.
