Li Laifu used his mind to follow the fishing line to find fish. It was not that there were no fish, they were only one or two fish. However, his fishhook was really hit by the old man, and it was difficult to put it into the fish's mouth.
The old man's mouth was foaming with foam, so he simply lifted the tip of the fish up to the fish's mouth.
"I'm telling you, if this kid catches a fish, I'll just wipe it off..."
Li Laifu did not move the small fish weighing two ounces, but brought the wooden board in front of him and said, "Go on, what did you say to wipe just now?"
"Holy shit, show me? How did you catch such a small fish with your fishhook? This is a blind cat that killed a mouse. I guess the mouse was also blind. He twitched before he died and hung up your fishhook. superior."
"Uncle, you should go home and wipe your neck. If you wipe it here, no one will fish here at night, and you will have to find someone to carry you," Li Laifu said happily while holding the small fish.
Sitting on the stone without moving, he brought the small fish to Jiang Tao and Jiang Yuan. The two boys picked the fish off and asked, "Brother, what should I do with this fish?"
Dig a hole under the root of the tree and cover it with grass. "Boy, put your fish in my bucket. I'll give it to you when I leave. You put it in the soil. It's so hot today and it won't be fresh in a while." ," That old man Chang is much better than the old man Li next to him.
"You little brat, just wait until you go back and get beaten for stealing such a good cigarette from your father," Old Man Li was still chatting there.
Just when I was about to quarrel with the old man, I suddenly saw a folding knife hanging on the old man's waist. This kind of thing was rare in this era.
"How do you know I stole my father's cigarettes? You just said that I couldn't catch fish, but now I've caught them all."
"You're like a blind cat that killed a mouse. With such a big fishhook, you can catch a lot of fish."
The old man is about to take the bait.
"What should I do if I catch it again?" Li Laifu asked.
"If you want to catch me again..."
Li Laifu interrupted him directly and said: "Don't tell me that you wiped your neck? Your words don't count. Let's bet on the folding knife on your waist."
"What if you can't catch it?"
Li Laifu took out a complete box of Daqianmen cigarettes from his pocket and said, "Did you see it? I can't catch it... This Daqianmen cigarette is yours."
"Then we have to set a time limit. You can tell me how long it will take. Otherwise, if you keep using it up, my body won't be able to use up you." Old Man Li is really not stupid.
"I still don't believe you? Just now you said you wiped my neck when I caught a fish?"
"Okay, I'll find a witness," Old Man Li shouted to the side: "Old Chang, come here."
"Old Li Tou, you have nothing to do. Why are you arguing with a child?" Lao Chang said after listening to the two people talking.
"Uncle Chang, don't worry about it. You just need to be a witness and don't let this old man cheat." Li Laifu had already taken a liking to his knife.
The two finally agreed for an hour that if Li Laifu caught a fish, the old man would give him the knife.
Can't catch it? Of course Lillieford gave him cigarettes.
The fish here are too small. Li Laifu carefully felt in the water. Damn it, he finally saw a fish weighing two or three pounds. The fishhook controlled by Li Laifu moved closer to the fish. The fish here were obviously caught by many people. Well, you didn’t bite the hook? I controlled the fishhook to reach my mouth and pulled it hard. There was no buffering, and the string would not break no matter how I pulled it.
"You little bastard is going to become a sperm, and you're not afraid of tearing the fish's mouth open,"
Li Laifu didn't look at the carp jumping on the grass, but stretched out his hand towards the old man.
The old man was obviously a little reluctant, "Uncle Chang, this old man is going to cheat," Li Laifu shouted loudly.
"Fuck you, who's cheating?" The old man angrily took off the knife from his waist and threw it to him.
He picked up the knife with his fingernails, dug a groove in the wooden board, and tied the fishing line on it again.
Seeing Li Laifu cutting a wooden board with a knife made Old Li feel very distressed.
Li Laifu didn't even know how to change the earthworms, so he kept throwing the same one into the river. At this time, he was no longer as poor as the old man, and he started fishing seriously.
He could catch a fish weighing two or three pounds every half an hour. He didn't like small fish at all. By noon, he had caught six fish.
There were many people around. Old man Chang's bucket could no longer hold Li Laifu's fish. He held the bucket and asked, "Boy, I've become your witness. Can you sell me a fish?"
This group of people are all retired cadres, and they must have tickets in their hands. Li Laifu shook his head and said, "I don't sell anything. You must have tickets, and we can exchange them."
"This guy is not well-dressed, he understands the policies quite clearly, and he doesn't want to sell anything." Old man Chang took out a food stamp from his trouser pocket and said, "This is two kilograms of food stamps, can I exchange you for a fish?" ?”
Li Laifu also knew that food stamps were of little use to the poor. Only in this world did he realize that food stamps could only be used to eat in restaurants, or buy steamed buns or steamed buns. How could he really buy food at a grain station? The grain station collects food stamps based on the household registration book. The amount of food is the amount. How about you just take the food stamps? You can't even buy it.
Li Laifu received the food stamps and said, "Uncle Chang, please pick a fish!"
Hula la, a bunch of old men came over and exchanged another two kilograms of food stamps. Li Laifu said loudly: "I want other tickets, and I won't exchange the food stamps."
There are four fish left. The cheapest cigarette ticket is one fish, which is exchanged for ten B cigarette tickets. After all, the ticket is only 8 cents in large production and only one cent. A box of cigarette tickets in Daqianmen is only 37 cents. The cigarette ticket is only 10 cents in Pigeon Market. , his fish weighing more than two kilograms only sold for one yuan at the purchasing station.
Old Man Li couldn't help but said: "Boy, I'll give you a pound of meat. How about you give me those three fishes?" He already had a chance to win. No one can resist the temptation of pork these days.
Li Laifu said without thinking, "You can keep it for yourself, I don't want it."
Li Laifu thought that his grandfather must have run out of wine, so he shouted loudly: "Who has the wine ticket to exchange first?"
There are not many men in this era who don't drink or smoke. At this time, someone asked: "Boy, I have a drink ticket? How can I change it?"
Bulk wine costs 60 cents per catty. How can one dollar be exchanged for a ten-catty wine ticket?
"Ten pounds of tickets are exchanged for a fish. The one who takes out the drink ticket first picks first."
Two fish were exchanged for 20 kilograms of wine tickets, and one fish was exchanged for three feet of cloth tickets.
After the crowd dispersed, Li Laifu saw a corner by the lake where no one was fishing, so he put away his fishing rod and walked towards that corner, not changing it until he caught a fish.
"Brother, why did you replace all the fish and not leave any to eat?" Jiang Yuan whispered.
"It's okay. Brother can still catch it in a while. Don't worry, I'll have your fish to eat." Li Laifu touched his head.
There happens to be shade from trees and weeping willows in this corner, which blocks everyone else. You two go play under the roots of that tree, and I want to have a good time fishing.
Li Laifu kept fishing until about four o'clock in the afternoon, and finally pulled up a fish weighing five kilograms. He only ate two meals a day, not to mention that he was full in the morning, and the two boys didn't quarrel.
The harvest in one afternoon was four fish weighing one pound, six fish weighing three pounds, and one fish weighing five pounds.
