Chapter 250 Return journey
The villagers wearing thick cotton coats on the shore were all trembling by the cold wind, and the two wet people were steaming all over their bodies. This scene was really strange.
"Da Shuan, hurry up and take Ji Dong home to take a hot bath and change your clothes. Don't worry about it here, just let the young people stay here. There is nothing to do during the day, but I'm afraid of the evening. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and those short-lived ghosts are going to come out to get New Year's supplies again." Zhou Yushu said hurriedly.
The two gates of Zhang Maoqun and Yang Yunao are lame, so they naturally cannot come out to do bad things. But there are definitely more than these two people in this village. There are always a few villages that are lazy and delicious.
Zhang Jidong's house built a building with a fish pond, and life became more and more prosperous. Many people saw it. Now this fish pond needs to be dried, and the fish inside is more expensive than meat. If you can steal the fish from Zhang Jidong's house, you can sell it at a good price in the town.
When the water in the fish pond is deep, the fish are basically concentrated in the middle depth of the water. Generally, small fishing machines are not easy to reach electricity. However, now that the culvert is opened, the water level will soon fall. Once the water becomes shallow, the fish will slowly concentrate all the water at the deepest position. At this time, it is easy to be caught by the electric fisherman in one go.
"I will build a shed here to stay in the evening. I don't believe it. If I stay here, others will dare to steal fish." Zhang Dashuan said.
"You are so old that you are prone to wind and cold after staying all night. I think you should hire two young people in the village and give some money, and the young people are happy." Zhou Yushu said.
"Grandpa, don't have to guard it. I'll let our big dog guard here. Whoever steals the fish, I'll let the dog bite him to death." Zhang Jidong said.
It’s not that no one has ever made any decisions about Zhang Jidong’s big dogs. It is a habit in the countryside to beat dogs and eat dog meat in winter. Some second-rate people in the town often go to the countryside to steal dogs at this time. The people who feed them in the countryside are usually local dogs, usually over 20 or 30 kilograms. Unlike the people in the city who feed them mostly small dogs, it seems that most people can’t speak.
Many dogs in the village were thrown away at this time. There are many ways to steal dogs. Some things use poison needles, some use poison baits, and some use fishing tools.
The dogs of Zhang Ji Dong’s family are much bigger than native dogs. They are also fat and look a lot of meat. None of the people who came to beat Zhang Ji Dong’s family’s dogs succeeded. Instead, they could steal chickens and lose rice. They were bitten by the big dog so much that they cried and called their parents.
"This is also a solution," said Zhou Yushu.
On the streets of Huacheng, the migrant workers who had been working hard for a year began to pack their bags and leave the city, returning to the place where they set out, and were in a hurry all the way.
Zhang Hongbing and Liu Chuntao have been shopping these two days and bought various items for their two children. The two children bought two sets of clothes each. The winter in Huacheng is warm and there are not many styles such as cotton coats. I chose them and finally bought clothes that satisfy both of them.
Zhang Hongbing made some money this year, and at the boss's advice, he went to take the driver's license exam so that he could drive his boss's pickup truck to run to various construction sites. He also saved him going out with the boss and the boss was the driver for him.
Xue Huashun is a good boss in China, and he really has nothing to say to Zhang Hongbing. Zhang Hongbing is going home for the New Year, and Xue Huashun said that you can drive one of my car back. Zhang Hongbing did make a lot of money for Xue Huashun, but Xue Huashun was also very nice to Zhang Hongbing.
If it weren't for driving the boss's car home, Zhang Hongbing wouldn't have dared to buy so many things. Bus tickets had already been sold to New Year's Eve. Train tickets were probably sold short even on New Year's Eve. Zhang Hongyu didn't know that Zhang Hongbing would drive back at first, and he didn't buy bus tickets, nor did he buy train tickets. All the workers concentrated on the days before the New Year to rush back. Almost all the means of transportation were paralyzed.
When Zhang Hongbing called, Zhang Hongyu cried while laughing. She hadn't seen the children at home for almost a year.
"Check out the things quickly, I'll drive to your factory to pick you up." Zhang Hongbing was like he was a brother for a while.
"Hey." Zhang Hongyu hung up the phone and said proudly to the man, "Why are you still standing there? Clear things quickly, my brother will drive to pick us up later."
He Guiquan didn't think about anything else, so he ran to clear the things. In fact, where should the things be cleared? Zhang Hongyu had already cleared them many times, and He Guiquan just took the luggage up.
Not long after, Zhang Hongbing drove over, and Liu Chuntao was also sitting in the car, and they brought all the things they wanted to bring.
"Why are you still standing there?" Zhang Hongbing shouted at He Guiquan who was squatting on the roadside.
"Brother, who is your car?" Zhang Hongyu walked forward with a smile.
"Our boss's. I said that I would go back for the New Year, and the boss asked me to drive a car back. Fortunately, I got my driver's license this year." Zhang Hongbing said.
Zhang Hongbing drove a pickup truck. The rear box of the leather truck was equipped with a high cover, which could accommodate a lot of things. The luggage of the two families still had a lot of spare space inside.
"Brother, drive to the supermarket and stop for a while. I'll go to the supermarket to buy some food and eat on the way." Zhang Hongyu said.
"Hongyu, no need. I've bought it all. Now you probably don't have the time to make a meal, so we'll just drive all the way back and wait until the rest on the way before eating." Liu Chuntao said.
"Or why should I buy some more things?" Zhang Hongyu felt a little embarrassed. In fact, there were a lot of snacks in her bag, but those were prepared for the children. She was reluctant to take them out and dismantle them.
"We are all a family, why are you doing so? Don't waste time. I don't know if there is traffic jam along the way." Zhang Hongbing said.
Zhang Hongbing drove back to his hometown for the first time. The route was not very familiar. It took him a while to leave the city just for a while. It took him a long time to get on the highway.
At night, Zhang Jidong directly brought ten big dogs to guard the fish pond. There were some fields around the fish pond with radishes planted in the radishes. The big dog hid in the radishes, and it was impossible to see if it was not carefully looked at.
As the Spring Festival approaches, many weddings are held everywhere, and the sound of firecrackers sounds from time to time. The sky shines from time to time.
The fish pond became dark around it, and only the fish pond shone in the sky. The sky was gloomy and there was no star in the sky.
After dark, Zhang Jidong and his grandfather went to the fish pond to see if the drainage culvert was blocked, and used a hoe to clean up the residue silted on the bamboo sieve.
From time to time, fish jumped out of the water, making a rustling sound.
"Grandpa, are there many fish in the pond?" Zhang Jidong asked.
"I don't know. I'll know when the water is all dry after tomorrow." Zhang Dashuan said.
"Are you still selling the fish in the fish pond to fat uncle?" Zhang Jidong asked.
"Sell it first. At the price of ordinary fish, leave it to your fat uncle." Zhang Dashuan said.
"Why do you find the price of ordinary fish? My fat uncle always costs twice the price of ordinary fish. Then aren't we losing a lot?" Zhang Jidong said.
