Go back to the prosperous days and become a layman

Chapter 400 399 Fishing Man

The next few days were dull and fulfilling.

The Cable Department organized each class to conduct labor practice in batches. Each class weeded and watered the carrot fields they were responsible for. With carrots hanging in front of their mouths, everyone was very active in the work.

In addition, Tang Zhitong either did homework or drew pictures in class.

However, Tang Zhitong did not rush for success this time, but continued to perfect it in his mind.

It is not easy to spend money once, and you must not make mistakes. Tang Zhitong plans to build a brick oven model later to verify the effect before looking for someone to process it.

There are some changes. Out of care for the residents of Sijiu City, radishes occasionally appear on the dining table at home.

Radish is a good thing in season. There is a saying in Weixian County: "Apples from Yantai and pears from Laiyang are not as good as radish skins from Weixian County."

When I encounter delicious radish, it is not only not spicy, but also crispy and sweet. However, Tang Zhitong is not interested in any radish. The reason is that it is too breathy after eating!

Although the weather is getting a little cold now, everyone still kept the windows open during class, because not only the residents of Sijiu City ate radish, but also the students of the College of Posts and Telecommunications.

"No, does it hurt our feelings to talk about money?" Tang Zhitong didn't intend to ask for money as a favor.

After riding on the car, he walked out the door and walked through the alley to Chongwenmenwai Street. The fishing rod entered the space, and there were two more pig's trotters wrapped in newspapers in Tang Zhitong's bag. The reason why they were wrapped in newspapers was because I was afraid that the blood would stain the bag.

"Eat, eat, eat, and I'll give it to you if I catch it." Tang Zhitong has never refused to improve his life, but he has never said it in front of his family.

Tang Zhitong borrowed "tiger skins" from the construction site when he was stocking up last year. The purchase volume was large. Although he wanted all the front hooves, the price was indeed less than a cent. After all, the cooked pig's trotters sold in delis outside were only a dime at that time. one!
Of course, neither the size nor the meat content of pig's trotters can be compared with the improved varieties of later generations.

This is why Tang Zhitong wore a belt, otherwise he would be pulled down by rocks.

"Are you kidding me? You can buy it for a dime?" Fangyuan refused to believe it, so he withdrew half of the two yuan and gave the rest to Tang Zhitong without any hesitation.

"Brother Yuan, I found two pig's trotters for my sister-in-law, the front hooves." Tang Zhitong took out the pig's trotters from his bag after entering the house.

October 1959, 10, the 18th day of the ninth lunar month, Sunday, sunny.

"Go, go, we don't know when, how can your Uncle Tang get some candy back?" Fearing that Tang Zhitong would be embarrassed, Fangyuan slapped each of his own children, one in each hand.

As a result, during class, the noise was a little pleasant, but more often than not, it was a slight lift of the buttocks and a quiet exhaust, not to mention the smell, which was refreshing and refreshing.

"Okay, I'll charge you as much as I want to get it. Just give me 20 cents." Tang Zhitong couldn't refuse the kindness, so he quoted a price to Fangyuan. The 10 cents each was still the price after adding the "storage fee".

"What? Is this something you raised at home? I know how difficult it is to buy something like this now. Just take it if I ask you to." Fang Yuan said firmly.

Today is the day that Tang Zhitong promised Wang Jingmin to eat fish. Tang Zhitong got up early.

"Okay, don't worry." Tang Zhitong happily agreed. Fortunately, he was not a purebred fisherman. If he was in the Air Force, he would have to buy a big fish and pretend to have caught it himself, otherwise he would not be able to save face!
"Brother, brother! I want to eat fish too!" Fengzhi saw Tang Zhitong holding a fishing rod, and heard her sister-in-law say that her annoying brother wanted to eat fish, so she stepped forward to join in the fun.

Although pig's trotters are apparently not expensive nowadays, it is not easy to get them. Favors are required, but more often than not, you can't get them even with favors.

"Oh, that's a good relationship, but I have to give you money." Fang Yuan was overjoyed, took the pig's trotters, took out the money, and gave Tang Zhitong two dollars.

"Hehe." Tang Zhitong laughed twice and made no excuses. The dollar given by Fangyuan included the money for the pig's trotters, and also included the extra "favor money" that Tang Zhitong paid for the two pig's trotters.

"If you can't catch it, you won't catch it. Don't buy it. We don't have to do everything by respecting the people." After breakfast, classmate Xiao Wang faced Tang Zhitong who was getting ready to go, straightened his collar and told him.

He was a stone and an iron egg, and he didn't care about the Wuzhishan gifted by his own father. When he got the candy, he peeled off the wrapper and stuffed it into his mouth, then ran away with a smile.

After watching their father and uncle exchange greetings, Shitou and Tiedan leaned forward and pulled Tang Zhitong's trouser legs to call their uncle.

"It's true this time, but that's it." Tang Zhitong happily took out two hard candies, one for each person, and dismissed the two little brats.

Fangyuan sat down Tang Zhitong, passed cigarettes and poured water in one go, and then chatted with him: "Last time you talked about adding more people, I went to see Lao He, and he personally tended to agree. Lao He is doing the work over there. Work, I guess there will be news in a few days.”

"That's great." Tang Zhitong was also happy to see the result, and at the same time he told Fangyuan: "There is a teacher from the logistics department in my school who came to me two days ago and asked me if I could occasionally use our escort department. I'll transport some supplies in my own carriage. We won't have to work in vain. We can settle the freight and distribute some things. I don't dare to agree. Come and ask for instructions."

"Everything about asking for instructions or not is a system. If something like this happens again, you should respond first. Just let me know when we meet." Fangyuan is now more and more relieved about Tang Zhitong and decentralizes power.

"That won't work. Brother Yuan praises me, but I have to know how much I weigh and I can't let it fly." Although Fang Yuan was reassured and what he said was very considerate, Tang Zhitong's attitude was very correct.

"Okay. Our escort department will probably be upgraded at the end of the year, and I will sign you up for a deputy department at that time." Fangyuan was very satisfied with the general knowledge of his little brother. Since he had always been very harmonious in both work and personal relationships, he promised road.

"Brother Yuan, isn't this bad? I'm still young and haven't been working for a long time. To rise so high all of a sudden will have a bad impact on you." Tang Zhitong was stunned for a moment and said tactfully.

Secondary subjects may not seem very big at first glance, but students in the system must understand the value in them. Many people have been suffering from "secondary subjects" for ten years, but they may not be able to get what they want.

"Just keep it in your heart. I know it well. No one can stop this." Faced with "progress", the first reaction of the little brother is not to dance and express thanks, but to stand from his own perspective and think for himself. , Fangyuan felt that Tang Zhitong was even more considerate.

"Hey, thank you Brother Yuan, can you get a salary increase?" Having said that, Tang Zhitong thanked Fangyuan, but he was more concerned about whether he could get a salary increase. After all, in a few years the salary increase channels will be basically eliminated. Locked...

"Don't worry, let's adjust together." Many people are shy about talking about money these days. They feel like they are owed a salary increase when they ask for a raise from their work unit. Faced with Tang Zhitong's generous question, Fangyuan did not hide it.

"That's a good relationship, thank you, Brother Yuan!" After Tang Zhitong finished speaking, he cupped his hands towards Fangyuan Gong with a somewhat quaint air and thanked him.

The two chatted for a few more words. Tang Zhitong drank some water and stood up to leave.

Fishing was just an excuse, and the fishing rod was just a cover-up. After leaving Fangyuan's house, Tang Zhitong went straight to the small courtyard rented by Gu Yong.

Tang Zhitong's time was very tight. Seeing that four or five days had passed since the small courtyard he borrowed from Gu Yong, the matter of the wooden cabin must be completed as soon as possible.

After entering and putting away his bicycle, Tang Zhitong sensed the inside and outside of the house. After making sure there was no one there, he took out the wooden boards, nails, and claw hammer from the space and started working.

There is a saying that "a man will remain a boy until he dies." Tang Zhitong feels that this sentence can be applied to men of any age.

After the Internet developed, both boys and men may not necessarily like to watch young ladies who love to dance, but most of them like to watch knife forging competitions, living alone in the wilderness, old object restoration, container treasure hunting, Odebola bananas, and donkey hoof repairing. , carpet cleaning, Batigu method repair, etc.

Except for Oudebiao's brainwashing melody, the other items all have one thing in common, that is, they all contain handwork. No, Tang Zhitong's chance to get started is here.

In fact, these days, it is very common for boys to make a mineral radio, and for men to repair something at home, make a bench, a sofa, a bed, etc. Because they are poor, they often cannot afford to hire anyone.

Well, there is another reason and that is the lack of supplies, such as sofas and beds. For a long time in the future, I will not be able to buy tickets. In order to prevent the bed from screaming at night, so the home Men will find ways to obtain drawings and data, then purchase materials and process by themselves.

Tang Zhitong borrowed the ability of space to first find a few suitable pieces of wood, put up the frame of the cabin, and then hammered the wooden boards up with nails.

Tang Zhitong did not plan to build a century-old project. The materials used were relatively modest, and the appearance was not aesthetically pleasing. It just needed to be habitable and not collapse.

Even with the existence of the space cheating device, Tang Zhitong couldn't do much in the morning. It was already eleven o'clock. Tang Zhitong threw the things into the space, then drank some water from it, cleaned up his personal hygiene, and took out the fish. Hang the pole on the bicycle, then push it on the bicycle and rush to Shichahai.

Of course, the yard gate still needs to be locked.

The army of fishermen in Shichahai has expanded again.

Originally, Tang Zhitong only planned to go through the motions, but for some reason he felt the urge to take a shot when he got here.

While consoling himself that he had enough time, Tang Zhitong found a place with few people to park his bicycle, squatted by the river with a fishing rod, hung bait and swung the rod in one go.

Forget about making a nest, no one dares to waste food like that, except Tang Zhitong.

In order to satisfy his addiction to the handle, Tang Zhitong got the fish to take the bait as soon as possible, turned on the cheat device, crushed some small fish and shrimps and secretly threw them next to his bait.

These days, when people are hungry, so are the fish. It is estimated that the fish in Shichahai have never seen such a arrogant buffet since they were young.

When they smell the fishy smell of meat, the fish in the lake rush for food like crazy, and they gather together in a short time.

People die for wealth and birds die for food. There is always a greedy biter, so Tang Zhitong caught the fish very quickly.

In order to add some fun, Tang Zhitong threw some small fish and shrimps and didn't have the space to sense them, so he didn't know what kind of fish they were before he caught them.

Feeling the force coming from the fishing rod, Tang Zhitong knew that this guy was quite big.

After fishing with this fish for a while, Tang Zhitong almost threw the fishing rod away when he caught it. At first glance, he thought it was a snake!

The uncle next to him with Juan Yin in his mouth almost stared out of his eyes with greed, and muttered: "Good guy, no wonder there are no fish here today. With such a guy here, what kind of fish dares to come here?"

Tang Zhitong smiled at him and didn't say anything. He picked up a stone next to him, put it on the head of Heiyu who was still struggling on the ground, and gave it a friendly blow and two greetings.

After the black fish felt Tang Zhitong's enthusiasm and lay down, Tang Zhitong unhooked the fish and threw it into the net bag, then hung a piece of small shrimp on it and threw the hook out.

This time I was not as lucky as last time. There were fish floating on the surface, but no fish took the bait.

Tang Zhitong opened the cheat device and took a look. Oops, a catfish was enjoying shrimps as if no one was watching.

In this case, let’s fish with precision at a fixed point!

Tang Zhitong pulled the pole, but it was empty.

The uncle next to him took a look, and after confirming that there was no catch, he lost interest and concentrated on staring at his fish float, waiting for the fish to take the bait.

Tang Zhitong saw that no one was paying attention, so he used his space to pull a small loach out of the water, and then while it was confused, he directly hung it on the fishhook and threw it out. The destination of the delivery was right next to the catfish.

With the food in front of them, the catfish swam around the struggling loach without daring to take a bite.

Because the loach struggled, the fish float swayed accordingly. Seeing that Tang Zhitong did not make any movement, the uncle next to him couldn't help but kindly reminded him: "The float is coming, young man, pull the pole."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Tang Zhitong smiled at him. He was monitoring the situation. The catfish hadn't bitten the hook yet, so he definitely couldn't pull the rod.

The catfish hesitated, but other carnivorous fish that came after smelling the scent did not have the patience.

Seeing that other fish were about to take a bite, the catfish finally couldn't hold it any longer and opened its mouth to swallow the small loach. Tang Zhitong then pulled the rod.

Two fish came out after three poles, and they were both big fish. The uncle next to me was so greedy that he almost turned his mouth.

Tang Zhitong happily beat the catfish upright and put it into his net bag. He raised his wrist and glanced at the time. He had no intention of fishing anymore and had to hurry back to cook.

Just give it up when it's good, and Tang Zhitong doesn't use the space to collect fish from Shichahai anymore. You have to leave some room for the fishing guys in Sijiu City, right?
"Comrade, would you like to roll up a cigarette?" The uncle next to him saw that Tang Zhitong was about to leave. He threw down his fishing rod and walked forward. He wanted to take out a cigarette to get close to Tang Zhitong, but he didn't have any on him, so he had to ask Tang Zhitong with the shredded tobacco.

"Thank you, no need." Tang Zhitong hung the net bag on the handlebar and waved his hand. The tobacco was strong and not very friendly to a "newbie" like him.

"Little comrade, do you want to change this fish?" Perhaps because he had never had such dealings with people, the middle-aged uncle took back his hand, a little embarrassed.

"No, my family has a large population, so I just want to go back and improve my life. I'm leaving now, uncle, see you later." Tang Zhitong smiled apologetically at him, without any intention of entangled.

The middle-aged uncle looked at Tang Zhitong's clothes, and he did not look like he was short of money. He waved to Tang Zhitong, then rolled a cigarette and lit it, shook his head, sighed, and returned to his seat to continue fishing.

Since it was the weekend, there were a lot of people by the river, including people fishing, buying fish, and some children playing among the crowd. Tang Zhitong did not ride fast to avoid the pedestrians.

The road was not long, but Tang Zhitong's bicycle attracted a lot of people's attention. To be precise, it was the two fishes on the handlebars that attracted a lot of people's attention.

Tang Zhitong felt the envy and admiration in his eyes, and he understood a little bit about those people who caught big fish and put them on their bicycles and walked around the city without returning home, who were fined for covering their license plates with fish but still smiled and looked happy, and who asked everyone when they met, "What are you doing?" You know I caught a ten-pound fish” fishing guy.

The sense of satisfaction gained from the fisherman's eyes is like the shy young women of various types praising afterwards: Enemy, you are so powerful, you have hit the nail on the head...

Understand the angler, become the angler, and go further and further on this road.

Of course, Tang Zhitong will not embark on this road of no return, let alone any young women or girls who can dance. There is a classmate Xiao Wang in the family who is good at singing and dancing. Not only is he good at dancing, but he can also often After a sip of wine, what else can you not be satisfied with?
