"Haha!...Who knows what?" A group of bored men yelled evilly.
Father Chen laughed for a while, then he looked at Chen Zishen and said: "What are you doing here in tattered clothes? You have to look good in everything you do. When you catch fish, you need to wear fishing clothes. A waterproof jacket like mine will do.
, I’m so muddy on my body, and I have to waste washing powder and time to wash it. It’s not enough for success, but more than failure. Go back and read, if you can’t get into college, don’t think about letting me buy it again.”
"It's okay, it's okay. What do children know? Just be in the right mood." The person next to me said in a good-natured way.
Chen Zishen was in high spirits just now, but now it was as if he was suddenly hit by frost, rain, and snow. Although he was crying with sadness in his heart, he still tried his best to squeeze out a smile on his face and said:
"I don't have any waterproof clothing at home, so I came here wearing tattered clothes. It seems useless to wear clothes, haha!..."
"If you don't have one at home, why don't you go to the house next door and borrow it? You're so stupid, no wonder you can't get into high school!" Chen's father stood in the water and roared.
A well-meaning person comforted him and said: "We have already worn the ones next door, haven't we? How can we borrow them?"
At that time, Chen Zishen held back the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine tears that were about to well up in his heart, and said silently in his heart: "I am a big boy, a pure man, strong, strong, I can't let others look down on me, Sister Xiaowei, Sister Xiaowei
, Haha, Sister Xiaowei, haha!..."
After reciting it nine hundred and ninety-nine times, he actually held back the tears that were about to break out. In the end, only one tear of dissatisfaction fell quietly. However, due to the splashing of water during the fishing process, everyone, especially his father, did not
He didn't see it, so no one despised him.
"Haha!..." Chen Zishen laughed several times. He wanted to resolve all the unhappiness with a bright smile. Then he jumped into the cold water and shouted cheerfully: "I'll come, I'll catch fish. This water
It’s not that cold, I feel very warm.”
Several fellow villagers looked at him in surprise and said, "You can still laugh even though you are doing this?"
Chen Zishen continued to giggle and said: "It's very funny, of course I have to laugh."
"Isn't the water cold? It's winter! The adults are all wearing waterproof clothes, but you are catching fish in the water without wearing anything. You will be able to bear it when you get old, and you will get rheumatism." The kind fellow said.
said.
"Let's talk about the future later. How can I care so much? I'm drunk now!" Chen Zishen picked up his sleeves and wiped the corners of his eyes twice. It might be that cold water splashed into his eyes, or it might be more chilling than cold water.
A drop or two of tears probably oozed out.
Father Chen glanced at him and said, "Who will wash the clothes you are wearing? You got sick from being soaked in the water. Don't lie in bed at night and scream that it hurts here or there. No one will care about you."
Chen Zishen didn't hear these harsh words at all. A red carp attracted his attention. His eyes followed the cute carp around. He suddenly quickly reached out and dug into the fish, using both hands to clamp hard.
Live that fish.
He laughed and raised his hands, wanting to take a closer look at the red fish. As a result, what he caught was actually a black fish. The beautiful red carp seemed to have taken advantage of the chaos and got under the fish layer.
I wonder if she broke out of the net?
…………
Mother Chen ran over in a hurry with more than ten fish baskets. He threw the fish baskets into the water hard, and the fish picker immediately picked up the fish baskets and caught the fish.
Chen's mother and Chen's father reminded: "There is no need to catch the small ones. Let them grow in the pond and sell them next year. If they are too small, it will not be profitable to sell them."
There is a big difference between small fish and big fish.
When customers buy fish, they usually choose big fish, because big fish are good-looking and have more meat, while small fish are ugly and have less meat. Therefore, the price per catty of big fish is generally higher than that of small fish. This does not mean that the price of small fish is higher than that of small fish.
Do fishermen make money by selling them among the big fish? Because if the small fish are sorted out, the price per catty will be lower.
When fishermen sell fish, the fishmonger must know the specifications of the fish. Basically, more than 90% of the fish are within the specifications he requires. Those few small fish have nothing to do to the fishmonger. They
How much should you earn or how much should you earn?
For fishermen, the small fish can grow up next year. If the price is the same, they can definitely earn more. It is definitely better to keep them and sell them when they grow up.
Another point is: when fishermen buy small fry, the fry are very expensive, more expensive than the fish that are just sold when they grow up, so keeping smaller fish can also save a lot of money on buying fry.
While everyone was busy collecting fish, a woman in her forties, about the same age as Chen's father and mother, ran over excitedly. The woman had an average appearance, a strong body, wore a green cotton-padded jacket, and held a red book in her hand.
ledger and a black ballpoint pen.
Chen's father lowered his head and muttered in a low voice: "No, the debt collectors are here. The news about fishing has spread so fast. They haven't even received the money yet, and they are here. It's really difficult."
Father Chen had no choice but to raise his head, walked up from the water, and greeted the debt collector with a smile: "Hey! Miss Wang is here, rich people are different, you are the best dressed in the whole village.
After seeing it, let’s go inside and have a cup of tea.”
Miss Wang said: "No matter how rich you are, no matter how nice your clothes are, there is no way that Boss Chen can play so coolly. The whole village and town know your reputation as Boss Chen, and all the gambling dealers are done by you, Boss Chen. Even if we have a little
I went over to play with a small amount of money, but others didn't take it seriously. I think you, Boss Chen, are the only ones who can control the casinos in the entire village and town."
Father Chen was originally a very face-conscious person, but when he saw Miss Wang's compliments, he immediately became very proud.
He laughed and said: "As long as you tell me my name wherever you go to gamble, whoever doesn't give Miss Wang face will turn the world upside down. Can I take you to gamble with me when you have time?"
"Oh, we can't afford it. Boss Chen, you should just go on your own."
"Little money, small money, it's all small money. I remember when I was young, I never played with how much money I had. Once again, I won more than 100,000 in one night. At that time, I thought that I would stop after winning 200,000.
In the end, after only one hour, I lost more than 80,000 yuan. Now that I am married and have a child, I am very tired and timid, and I don’t have that much money on hand.”
Father Chen was so proud that he talked about his great achievements back then.
"That's for sure. It's all small money. Even if it's more than 100,000 yuan, Boss Chen wouldn't even blink an eye. He just paid back the 8,000 yuan he borrowed last year. It's all small money." Miss Wang said shrewdly.
Asking for money is not sentimental and is very appropriate and appropriate.
"Ah? Me?... This is all in the past, hasn't the fish been sold yet? The fishmonger hasn't paid me yet." Father Chen immediately reflected that he seemed to have let something slip, but the words he said were spilled out.
water, we can only think of other ways to save it.
"Then I'll just sit and wait. After you sell all the fish, the fishmonger will give you money, right?" She responded forcefully. Anyway, her intention to collect the debt has been expressed, and there is no reason to back down. This time
If you can't ask for it, you have to ask for it next time. You have to lose face once. It's better to do it at once to save trouble.
"It will be a while yet. The fishmonger may not give you the money tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. The wind is blowing cold in winter. Miss Wang, please go sit inside first." Father Chen racked his brains and said.
Miss Wang also understands the truth. If she really went back to the house to drink tea, it would be hard to say so harshly. She would definitely not be able to get the money. They are all from the countryside, and Miss Wang is also someone who likes to play around.
, she often meets Chen's father on weekdays, and it's not good to be too disrespectful, so she won't drink some bullshit tea anyway.
"I won't drink tea anymore. I'm not a big shot. You guys are all busy, but I go to drink tea alone. It's too shameful. I was also born in a rural area. This is reasonable.
I still understand. I'll just stay here and watch the harvest at Boss Chen's house. You won't just drive me away." Miss Wang said wisely.
Chen's father was so worried. After selling the fish, he agreed that the money would be returned to one creditor. If she took it away, what would be Chen's father's credibility with another creditor?
Many times when he loses money in gambling and playing cards, he secretly borrows money from the family without letting anyone else know. If he doesn't pay it back, how can he borrow money in the future? It's very important to use credit outside. What should I do?
"In that case, I'll pay back the three thousand yuan first and give the rest at the end of the year. I've been very lucky in poker recently. If I win in a few days, I will definitely pay you back Miss Wang. I have been hanging out for more than 20 years, and I only heard that
I've never heard of anyone not paying back money they owe me. Miss Wang! We all grew up together in the village, and it's not like you don't know my character, Brother Chen." Father Chen said with a smile.
.
Miss Wang thought: That's right. He is indeed not a bad character. He likes to play, but he never bullies others and never fails to pay back money. He is also very capable. For many years, I heard that he lost tens of thousands at once.
I can actually turn the money around, and now my child can play so freely while studying. I really don’t have anything to worry about. It’s better to show off my face so that he can be embarrassed to talk to me when I see him in the future. Besides, it’s better than nothing. It’s not bad to get back 3,000 yuan.
of.
"Haha!... Everyone has difficulties during the Chinese New Year. I am also a sensible person. We have been playing together in the countryside for decades. I am definitely accommodating on this matter. Okay, let's just say that."
Miss Wang said with a smile.
"Zishen!...Hurry and catch a fat-headed fish for Miss Wang. It's best to make soup with radish in winter." Father Chen immediately said happily.
If you want to know what happens next, please listen to the breakdown next time.
