The Rebirth of 88s Begins with a Carpenter

Wu Yuan fell into a deep sleep amidst the daughter-in-law's nagging about planning to get married for the two children.

Until I was awakened by a sudden autumn rain at midnight.

The autumn rain is not heavy, but it hits the yard and the windows, and the sound it makes is similar to white noise with moderate decibels.

Easier to hypnotize.

But Wu Yuan didn't feel sleepy at all.

Helplessly, he was entangled tightly by his wife like an octopus, unable to move.

Just keep your eyes open until dawn.

Even so, when Wu Yuan woke up the next Sunday, he was still in great spirits.

There was no reaction at all.

Liu Hui, as usual, came downstairs quietly after washing. Seeing the rainwater gradually stagnating outside, she muttered, "I'm afraid the water has risen a lot this night."

So after breakfast, Wu Yuan took the shovel and put on rain boots and went out.

When I went down to the lake and found my own land, I found that the field ridges had been ripped apart by others, and the accumulated rainwater was almost drained away.

When I turned around and met other acquaintances in the village, I stood in the field, exchanged greetings, and lit a cigarette.

Talk about the surviving life of rice this year, and then look at the rice fields exuding the fragrance of rice after the rain, and express a few words of emotion that resonate.

It's really "a good harvest in the fragrance of rice flowers".

Walking from the north end of his rice field to the south end, after confirming that there is generally no stagnant water, Wu Yuan went straight to a stalk in the south.

This stalk goes all the way to the east, and it goes straight to the rice field in front of my house.

And the canal to the south of Ganzi was the place where Xiong Wu, Zhong Wenqiang and the others had caught many big fish.

The water level of the canal has obviously risen a lot.

As a result, the paddy fields south of the canal were flooded, and the outflow was very slow.

This is also impossible.

I can only take care of it diligently and take a look.

Wu Yuan carried the shovel all the way to the east, and saw several places on the river, where big fish clearly hovered in the water.

That scene was like a big fish meeting.

Wu Yuan suddenly regretted that he didn't bring the simple fishing rod and hook at home and throw it.

Good pot of boiled fish fillets.

A good pot of pickled fish...

What a pity.

At this moment, Wu Yuan suddenly caught a glimpse of a big fish, a herring, stranded in the mouth of the rice field flowing into the ditch.

It looks like it weighs at least seven or eight catties.

This big herring probably took this opening as a dragon gate and jumped.

I didn't know that the dragon gate didn't jump up, but I stranded myself in this hole.

In addition, the water flowing out from the paddy field is getting smaller and smaller, and it can't move its huge fish body.

Once they came and went, they were deadlocked there.

This kind of cheapness is not for nothing.

Wu Yuan thrust the shovel into the canal to make a mark.

Then he walked back for a while, found the narrowest part of the canal, jumped over it, and ran back.

When I ran to the place marked by the shovel, I saw the big herring still turning its lovely belly, and I felt joyful all over my face.

I picked two weeds from the rice field by hand. If you don't distinguish them carefully, they are exactly the same as rice.

Then he held down the big herring in the mouth, passed the straw through the gills and mouth of the fish, lifted it out, and picked it up.

Unexpected harvest, it is quite heavy to start with.

Wait until you walk back and cross the canal, return to the marked spot, pull up the shovel, hang the big herring on the shovel handle, carry it on your shoulders, hang it on your chest, and go back.

It will inevitably be a little fluttering.

He didn't turn around suddenly until the bicycle bell sounded very fast and was close behind him.

Grabbing the car that was about to collide with him, he said in disbelief, "Why is it you again, Mr. Song?"

Song Chunhong was also speechless.

In order to prevent the car from malfunctioning and bumping into Wu Yuan from happening again, she tried not to take the village road today, and went directly from the second path to this one.

Who would have thought that it would still happen.

Fortunately, this time, she just changed a car bell recently, which came in handy temporarily.

"It was reported at the start of school yesterday that several children did not come. I thought about going home today to see and ask why."

Wu Yuan looked at the direction the other party was coming from and said, "This is home visit? How's the situation?"

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Song Chunhong couldn't help sighing: "There are good and bad."

This is normal.

It is not so easy to popularize compulsory education in rural areas, and there is a long way to go.

So Wu Yuan didn't ask any more questions, and changed the subject to ask: "Do you really want to be someone's godmother?"

Song Chunhong was taken aback for a moment, then understood, nodded and said, "Anyway, I don't plan to have children in the future, having a godson or a goddaughter is tantamount to making life perfect."

Some things have been said to the end, Wu Yuan will not say more.

Seeing that he was strolling to the edge of the rice field in front of his house, he gave way in a nonchalant way: "Come and sit at home and have a light meal. I happened to burn this fish and boil it in water."

Song Chunhong glanced at Wu's small building in the rain and fog, brushed her messy temple hair and said, "No, there are still two students who haven't finished running. I have to go back to prepare lessons early after running."

Wu Yuan stepped aside: "Then you go, I'll get off from here."

Song Chunhong pushed up the car, creaked the pedals, got on the car lightly and gracefully, and walked away.

Wu Yuan turned his head and stepped down a stalk, crossed the river ditch, and went straight to his small building along the field ridge.

In the vast rice fields, the sound of frogs rises and falls, accompanied by the sound of cuckoo birds from time to time, forming an interesting contrast. .

It wasn't until he reached the end of the field ridge and stepped over the low fence beside the rice field that Wu Yuan realized that his wife's figure was hidden in the vegetable garden at the door.

Seeing him appear, Yang Luoyan straightened up: "Why did you come back from the south?"

Wu Yuan said casually: "You're just strolling around, guess what happened?"

Immediately, he raised the big herring hanging on the handle of the iron shovel and said, "Today's lunch is ready!"

Yang Luoyan smiled and said: "There is no shortage of vegetables at home. Ming Dynasty just sent two of them, and they are in the basin by the well. They are no smaller than you."

Wu Yuan raised his feet and walked home and said: "By the way, I saw Teacher Song just now. I have already gone to several houses early in the morning."

The rain and fog dissipated, and the sky gradually brightened.

When it was nine o'clock, when Wu Yuan was handling the herring, the third sister and his wife came by bicycle.

As soon as Wu Xiuhua entered the yard, he asked Brother Yao, "Elder Sister made trouble with you last night? Why didn't you call me?"

Wu Yuan said casually: "If it's daytime, I'll call. Then your business will be fine, and it's not worth doing for her."

Then he added another sentence: "Afterwards, didn't you still get overwhelmed by me? Go back obediently."

Wu Xiuhua half-believingly said: "Are you all right?"

"It's okay!" Wu Yuan said without hesitation, and then turned to the living room and said: "Third brother-in-law, if you want to smoke, go in and get it yourself, I can't spare it."

As a result, Xiong Gang took out a bag of Huazi himself, stuffed the root in Wu Yuan's mouth, and ordered it by the way.

Then he said: "You don't have to take care of the big sister's house by yourself. This is one of the few things we can help you with."
