Chapter 13, Old Man

At noon, the lunch for the five of them was steamed buns for many years, which was simple and convenient.

At around 3:00 p.m., the small puddle expanded again, and the fish inside was probably more than 80 kilograms.

An old man who passed by ran to the river and checked their catch.

The old man stayed by the river for more than half an hour and saw them fishing for many years that they had caught seven or eight kilograms of fish, which was so shocked that they couldn't stop talking.

I feel that the fish in the river are like those they have raised for many years, and they keep eating hooks.

However, the old man said nothing, and they didn't care for many years.

Just before leaving, I asked when the latter would go back?

"It's about five o'clock. If it's late, you won't be able to catch the bus."

"Then aren't you afraid that these fish can't be sold?"

Xu Xiaoqian and the others went straight to each other and told them about their feat of selling fish on the bus yesterday.

So the old man turned his head and ran away without saying anything.

"Uncle San, have we said the wrong thing and made the uncle angry?"

The children didn't understand very well, and they asked with a little aggrievedly.

"No, don't think about it, come and help Uncle San make a fishing nest." Many years responded, which directly made their mood turn into a sunny day.

As a result, when it was almost half past four, the old man and three big men rushed towards the river.

This scene scared Xu Wumei and the others to hide directly behind for many years.

But soon, they realized that they were worried in vain, because the old man said he wanted to buy fish, and he bought them all.

"Comrades, you are really experts. This is your catch for a day? It's so amazing."

The three people behind the old man were all very excited, staring at the fishing catch in the small puddle with their eyes shining brightly, and their saliva was almost flowing down.

I guess I saw the doubts that I had been thinking for many years, so the old man explained.

It turned out that the old man was a retired worker from a nearby mechanic factory, and the three big men were workers from the mechanic factory, one of whom was the old man's son.

The mechanic factory is a large factory in Beijing, and the supply of various materials would not be short of.

However, something happened recently in the canteen purchasing office, and the old man’s son was driving the duck to put it on the shelves.

Since I have only been on duty for a few days, many purchasing methods are not familiar with them, so the purchased fish is not fresh and the meat is also very average.

Some are transportation issues, while others are not very new when buying them.

Therefore, the people in the factory complained and suffered a lot.

The old man wanted to help his son, so he has been out for a long time recently to see if there is any possibility of finding a stable source of goods, or to respond to emergency response and survive this test smoothly.

Unexpectedly, I was really touched by the old man today.

There is no doubt that many years of fishing skills have been very powerful.

Let me put it this way, there are many fishermen in the capital, but this is the first time that the old man has seen a ruthless man who has discarded the river for many years.

The fish in the small puddle are very fresh. Isn’t this the fresh fish the machine wants?

So, I went back and called his son over, and also called a helper.

After understanding what happened, I suddenly realized it for many years.

But Xu Wumei and the others were excited.

If the old man directly pulled the fish from the small puddle away, wouldn’t he have to work hard to move to the bus?

"So, you want to buy the fish in the small puddle?"

However, the old man shook his head and said with his sister and niece in the dark face for many years:

"Aren't you going to catch until five o'clock? It's not until four o'clock yet. You can continue fishing. We will collect as much as you can."

Many years have been surprised by such a generous and generous old man:

"Now there are at least 100 kilograms of fish in the puddle. Can you eat it?"

"That's not. Not to mention a hundred kilograms of fish, even two hundred kilograms of fish can be eaten by the mechanics factory."

The old man's son smiled and answered, and said arrogantly that if you come to the nearby fish tomorrow or the next day, you can collect it.

Generally speaking, fish in the river will die after they reach ashore and cannot be kept for a few days.

However, there are many people in the mechanic factory, and a canteen can consume 50 kilograms of fish in a day.

Although fish worth 1 cents per pound is not very cheap, it is half cheaper than pork worth 30 cents per pound.

Although people nowadays like pork instead of fish.

But who would like to eat vegetarian food if you can eat meat?

The workers in the mechanics factory do heavy work. If there is no meat, the workers will probably be unhappy in their work.

"Wow, uncle, you guys are so generous!"

After giving them thumbs up for many years, Xu Wumei and the others also cheered.

Your uncle is indeed your uncle, so proud!

Not only that, I also help pull the hook when catching fish.

In this way, when it was almost five o'clock, the fish in the small puddle were completely full.

Finally, with the cooperation of everyone, the fish in the puddle were weighed.

After adding them together, it was confirmed that it was 122 kilograms, which was beyond everyone’s expectations. It was really a lot!

Regarding price, I have been trying to make concessions for many years, but who knew that the old man made a decision without saying a word and made a decision on a price of 10 cents or 5 cents.

This price is for his son to be less than a little bit of oil and water.

But the old man's son didn't say anything. After all, the most important thing for them now is to overcome difficulties, rather than get kickbacks and fish out of the water.

I took 18 yuan and 5 cents from my uncle's son, and I felt very moved for many years.

The fish he caught today were not moved in later generations without a thousand or two.

Xu Wumei and the others stared at the money with their eyes fixed on each other.

Even if I put it in my pocket, I can't help but fantasize.

After one day, he made so much income directly, which made Xu Wumei unable to help but naively fantasize:

"Brother Third, we will say something every day from now on, won't we send it?"

"Are you thinking about eating nothing? How can you catch so many fish in the river?"

For many years, I didn't think about it and just told the cruel reality.

If we could really make a living by fishing, the fishermen on the beach would not have lived a hard life now.

I saw the thief eating meat, but I didn’t see the thief being beaten.

We helped the old man and his friends transport the fish back to the car on the side of the road. Before leaving, the old man made an appointment with many years to meet tomorrow.

Because the old man has retired, he also wants to fish with him tomorrow.

For many years, I have not refused.

When I got home, I asked his sister for many years, where could I buy meat?

He had money in his pocket, and he was really greedy, so he wanted to buy some meat to reward himself.

"San brother, then you have to get up at 5 o'clock tomorrow morning, and there is pork sold in the supply and marketing cooperative."

"Don't you have beef and mutton?"

"I don't know, we haven't eaten it anyway."

I have been disappointed for many years.

The supplies are too scarce, and it is very troublesome to eat some good food.

However, at this moment, through the bus window, he saw the signature of the roast duck restaurant.

My stomach suddenly became dissatisfied.

Following his gaze, Xu Wumei and the others were drooling.
