When he got home, Huang Daozhou was already tying things to the bicycle. Huang Han looked at it for a while and felt that his skills in tying rope buckles were basically non-existent.

Not only is it clumsy and inefficient, but there is also a high chance that the rope will loosen before reaching the end of the field.

Huang Han had to teach Huang Daozhou step by step how to tie ropes such as trailer knots, sailor knots, double rope buckles, etc.

Huang Daozhou was stunned. He stared at Huang Han who was demonstrating with wide eyes, his face full of disbelief, and asked:

"Huang Han, where did you learn these techniques? They are really practical."

What will this mean in future generations? There are many step-by-step instructional videos online!

But it was really hard to answer Huang Daozhou's question. Huang Han thought for a moment and said, "Dad, these knots are actually very easy to master. You don't need to learn them from anyone. I just played with the ropes myself."

If you don’t believe it, just find a piece of rope and figure it out on your own while you’re sitting idle in the unit’s storage room, and you’ll probably be able to create a more practical knot with your cleverness.”

"Well! This technique seems simple, but it has great benefits if you use it well. I will spend time practicing it in the future, and I will have nothing to do in the storage room."

Having mastered the rope knots taught by Huang Han, Huang Daozhou tied the two tin buckets, one large and one small, to the back seat of the bicycle very firmly.

Huang Han was too weak to tighten the rope, so he could only give instructions verbally. The big white iron bucket belonged to Chengwenge's family, and the smaller one was one of the two buckets used by Uncle Wu's family to carry water.

Fortunately, I prepared three broken jars, and they were broken in half, so they could be placed upside down to save space. If the jars were complete, the three jars would not fit into the large tin bucket.

Of course, the clay pot containing the smelly chicken offal was stuffed into a small tin bucket, and the surroundings were tightly padded with straw to prevent the pot from being broken by the bumps along the way.

Huang Daozhou refused to waste a rest day. He did not put all his hopes on using Huang Han's method to catch turtles. He still tied the fishing rod after tying the shovel.

Of course I will not forget the small red earthworms used as fishing bait. They are packed in a small open glass bottle. This bottle is the most common medicine bottle in this era.

Zhang Fangfen made noodles for the father and son, and also prepared four glutinous rice cakes as dry food.

Huang Daozhou has already filled a pot full of cold water from a military kettle.

This military kettle was a gift specially given by my sister who has settled in Shanghai for more than thirty years to her brother Huang Daozhou, who loves fishing.

After getting this military kettle, Huang Daozhou felt like he had found a treasure. Once when he was fishing, he forgot it by the river. When he got home, he found that the kettle was gone. He actually rode for fifteen miles in the dark and searched for it for half the night before he found it again.

After this fright, Zodiac Zhou always carried the water bottle across his body when he went fishing.

Huang Han has always firmly believed that his parents were hard-working and had no bad habits, and that he who smoked, drank, and played cards was far inferior to him. If it were not for the constraints of the times, they would of course be able to achieve a higher-than-average living standard.

Well now, the tide of reform and opening up is about to come, and with the guidance of Huang Han, the prophet, parents who work hard and don't complain will definitely be able to live a prosperous life early.

Huang Han didn't take anything else, but carried the packed quilt on his back.

The father and son left the city and walked three or four miles along the national highway, then turned onto the county road and walked another five miles. After getting off the county road, they rode on a rural dirt road for one mile and then had to get off the car and walk.

The place in my memory is indeed very different. It is full of desolation, but it will be placed in a pristine wetland in later generations.

It is estimated that there are dozens or hundreds of wetlands like this in Sanshui County today, but the countless graves make people feel a chill down their backs.

In fact, the wetlands of later generations were also full of graves, but they were just flattened. Tourists were having fun, and there was no chance that they would see bones one meter below their feet.

Fortunately, in the past two years, the government has promoted dog hunting, which has resulted in fewer and fewer dog owners. Huang Han, the wild dog running around in the fields, has not yet been seen.

When using stinky bait to deceive old turtles, they are most afraid of wild dogs nearby, because dogs’ noses are so sharp that they will definitely eat up the bait when they smell the stench, and the turtles will naturally not fall into the urn.

Huang Han has already spotted a drying ground about three miles away from the planned trap digging area. There are more than a dozen haystacks there. At this time, the land has not yet been contracted to each household, and those haystacks should be owned by a certain production team.

It was best not to see anyone. Huang Han was worried about meeting some idle rural people following behind like a fool to watch the fun, so he didn't dare to coax him to leave. He was from the local area, and if he was offended, he would be in big trouble.

Huang Daozhou likes to tell stories about his fishing days, and often tells embarrassing stories about his colleagues who went fishing in the countryside and were beaten by locals and their fishing rods were broken.

Huang Han judged that since most of his colleagues who liked fishing had the experience of being beaten by locals, Huang Daozhou might not be immune. It was possible that he wanted to save face and was embarrassed to talk about his experience of being bullied by locals.

Huang Daozhou does not smoke. It is a Chinese characteristic that when asking someone to do something, he has to hand him a cigarette. I don’t know when this bad habit started.

The work unit at this time was also very unique. There was always some tinkering work being done, and there was endless work to do for months and months. The people doing bricklaying, carpentry, and small labor were all rural people.

Of course, they do not receive monthly wages according to salary levels. They are all part-time workers, and the required materials are obtained from the custodian after being signed by the factory director.

It stands to reason that Huang Daozhou's job as a custodian is still very popular, but unfortunately, Huang Daozhou never takes things from the government home, and he doesn't know how to exchange the conveniences in his hands for actual benefits.

He always said that living one's duty is the most peaceful life. I don't know how many people can't sleep at night, but he can sleep soundly.

Huang Han couldn't understand why Huang Daozhou's hands and feet were so clean?

I don’t know whether he was honest and selfless, or whether he was frightened out of courage by his unfortunate fate.

But if Zodiac Zhou is really timid, how can he explain that he dared to grope along a wild river full of graves late at night?

To be honest, Huang Han thought he was brave enough and could not walk alone by a wild river in the middle of the night where there was no one around for several miles.

Of course, in later generations, places like this will almost never be seen again.

Regardless of whether you smoke or not, the Chinese people's bad habit of passing cigarettes is irresistible. No one will throw down a whole pack of cigarettes. It is quite common for Huang Daozhou to throw a few cigarettes on his desk.

Huang Daozhou certainly didn't smoke himself, but put away these cigarettes, went to the bathroom to take a shower and handed one to the waiter, gave two cigarettes to the waiter when he went fishing, and stored his bicycle at a local's house.

The most important thing is to hand a cigarette or condom to the locals who may be looking for trouble.

Sometimes it is self-defeating. Farmers who have nothing to do can watch the zodiac boat fishing by the river for several hours in order to smoke a few good cigarettes.

Huang Daozhou knows human nature very well and knows that even if he can catch fish in this place, he can only catch a few fish and then stop. If the catch is big, he may not be able to take it away.

When the locals ask for a few, do you give them or not? Give them a try!

They will say that in which year and month the brigade released fish fry in this river. You are stealing fish from the public. Not only will the fish be confiscated, but the fishing rods will also be disarmed. If you don't cooperate, you will get a good beating.
