…………

Tang Liwei cut open the chicken's neck after listening to his grandma's words twice, and the chicken's blood quickly flowed into the bowl filled with water, and it turned red immediately.After the chicken was killed, Chen Chi helped grandma take away the knife and the blood of the chicken. Grandma held on to the killed chicken for a while before letting go.

Tang Liwei saw his grandma and Chen Chi were ready to kill the chicken without changing his expression, and he was immediately in awe, when he was in a panic, he saw the killed chicken rolling on the ground with its wings fluttering, and immediately ran away. While running, he shouted: "Grandma, grandma, the chicken is alive again, it is alive again."

Seeing Tang Liwei like that, Chen Chi burst into laughter. He knew that Tang Liwei must have never seen such things as killing chickens, ducks and pigs.Looking at him hiding from chickens with bare feet, he looks like a great dancer.

Grandma also found it funny looking at Tang Liwei who was alive and kicking.

The rooster flapped its wings a few times and then stopped moving after a few laps. Tang Liwei stood at the door of the main room and looked at the rooster lying on the ground in shock.

"Xiaowei, don't be afraid. Killed chickens will flap a few times. It's normal and normal. Don't be afraid!" The grandma came up and stroked Tang Liwei's hair a few times as she said, and made the last stroke Tang Liwei patted the back of his head hard, and Tang Liwei felt a little pain.

"I didn't see that you were so timid." Chen Chi was already laughing so hard that he couldn't see that Tang Liwei was a tall person who was afraid of a dead chicken. He would laugh his teeth out when he said it.

"Can I compare with you? I am a person who never kills, you really lack conscience for letting me see this!" Tang Liwei felt that Chen Chi was not righteous at all, and even laughed at him at this time.

"Okay, after grandma is done cooking, you should eat more." Chen Chi patted his shoulder with his hand, he felt that patting his shoulder was not as strenuous as during the winter vacation, and he grew taller again.

At noon, Tang Liwei ate the most. Grandma cooked braised chicken, scrambled eggs with chili peppers, stir-fried beans, and sweet tomato soup.It was Tang Liwei's first time drinking sweet tomato soup, and he drank three full bowls.

After dinner, grandma went to take a nap, Chen Chi washed the dishes, and let Tang Liwei go to bed after washing.Tang Liwei didn't do it, insisted on Chen Chi sleeping with him, Chen Chi gave him a blank look, and said, I love to sleep but I have something to do.So I ignored him and went about my own business.

Chen Chi took out all his eel cages and counted them, and checked which ones were broken. It took a lot of time to check them one by one. Fortunately, the sky was cloudy and there was no sun, otherwise it would be bad at noon in summer. no.

Tang Liwei was very serious when Chen Chi counted the ricefield eel cages, checking each one carefully over and over again, the more he watched, the more addicted he became.

"Xiaochi, are you going to catch rice eels with these?" Tang Liwei finally broke the silence, staring at Chen Chi.

"Well, let's see if there are any that can't be used. It's useless for a semester, and many of them are rotten and have to be thrown away."

"Then are you going to catch it in a while?"

"No, take it out and prepare it. I will dig earthworms later, and I have to go to the pond to catch some river mussels as bait at night."

"I'll help you dig the earthworms later." Tang Liwei volunteered.

"Are you sure?" Chen Chi looked up at him with puzzled eyes.

"Of course!" Tang Liwei promised, patting his chest.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you in a while, and tomorrow I'll catch eels and cook for you."

"It must be eaten!" Tang Liwei smiled, his face full of peach blossoms.

After Chen Chi counted the eel cages, he took out several folded shrimp nets and tidied them up, and then took the shovel and went to the vegetable garden.

He really asked Tang Liwei to dig the earthworms. At first, Tang Liwei dug irregularly, with one shovel and one shovel at a time.In fact, every time Chen Chi dug, he brought the vegetable garden to dig. Tang Liwei didn't know, so he just looked at the open space to dig, and Chen Chi didn't stop him, just stood aside, looked at and laughed at him.

"You're laughing!" Tang Liwei was in a hurry to dig, already sweating profusely. He saw Chen Chi standing aside and didn't come to pick up earthworms.

"I laugh at you for working so hard." Chen Chi still smiled.

"That's right, I'll do it for you, of course I will work hard. I won't do it if others beg me." Tang Liwei was proud.

"..." Chen Chi was speechless.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Tang Liwei mentioned the relationship between the two of them knowing that he might have said something intentionally or unintentionally. He forgot his agreement with Chen Chi.

"Just kidding, I want to wait to eat rice field eels. Hehe." Tang Liwei stopped his hands.

"..." Seeing that he was talking quickly, and seeing that he was digging really badly, Chen Chi grabbed the shovel from his hand and dug by himself.Tang Liwei wanted to take it back and let him dig it. Chen Chi said, "How much have you dug?"

He looked at the soil he had dug, and there were very few earthworms.I never asked for the shovel back.

Chen Chi specifically found some land that had not been touched for a long time to dig, and none of them grew vegetables. After a few shovels, there were basically several earthworms under each shovel, some of which were cut off by the shovel and writhed desperately.Tang Liwei looked at the place where the two-part earthworm squirmed and left bloodstains, and thought of the same thing with the chicken that was still rolling after being killed at noon, and felt a little sick in his heart.

Chen Chi stopped after digging a few shovels, picked up the earthworms with his hands and put them in the big mouth bottle he brought.

Tang Liwei just watched from the sidelines and didn't speak or help him. In his heart, he felt that Chen Chi in the past was well-behaved, sensible, quiet and introverted, with a refined appearance. He didn't blink, he felt that he really didn't see through Chen Chi.

Chen Chi had been busy for more than an hour in total, and more than half of it was filled in the big mouth bottle.Tang Liwei didn't dig earthworms with him any more during the period, so he couldn't help much, so he went to the vegetable bushes alone to observe those vegetables.

When Chen Chi left, he saw him bending over and sticking his buttocks to look at the almost red tomatoes under the tomato shelf.

"Do you want to go back? I'm going back." Chen Chi called Tang Liwei.

"Yes." Tang Liwei replied without even raising his head.

After the two of them went back, Chen Chi arranged the earthworms one by one and put them on the bamboo sticks in the eel cage, and then put each bamboo stick with earthworms into the prepared eel cage.

The eel cages are all made of bamboo, a round barrel, 40 centimeters long, one end is big and the other is small, both ends have wooden plugs that can be installed and disassembled at any time to block the cage.The cork with the big head will only be removed when bait is loaded, and the bamboo skewer with earthworms on it is fixed on the cork.The cork with the small head will only be covered after the eel is caught, and it will be covered when the eel gets into the cage to prevent the eel from crawling away.And each cage is tied with a striking red cloth strip.

Chen Chi installed all the cages with earthworms and put them in order with a special wooden stake. There were many iron nails densely arranged around the wooden stake, and each cage had a long rope just hanging on the wooden stake. You can pick up many cages by picking up wooden stakes with a pole.However, Chen Chi could only pick less than 60 each time. He was small and not tall, and those cages were very heavy after being soaked in water. Chen Chi counted his steps every morning when he collected the cages and went home.

Chen Chi changed into waterproof rubber shoes, wore long-sleeved trousers, and planned to put all the cages down before it was too late, otherwise the mosquitoes would eat people.

Tang Liwei saw that Chen Chi was going to leave, but he didn't call him.

"Xiaochi, are you going to catch eels and not take me?"

"You want to go too? Let's talk about it when you catch it back. Now it's just going to put a cage."

"I want to go. I haven't seen it. I'm curious." Tang Liwei was about to pick up a stacked cage and put it on his shoulder, but he didn't know how to put it on his shoulder, and it kept shaking.

When Chen Chi saw him like that, it would be impossible not to take him there, so he had to let him wait for a while and went into the house by himself.

When Chen Chi came out, he was holding a long-sleeved coat for Tang Liwei to put on.

"Put it on. You'll have to wear the grass when you put the cage in. It's very painful to cut the big thatch. Maybe you're allergic, so you need to wear a pair of rubber shoes. It's not good if you encounter a snake." He searched again. A pair of rubber shoes for him to wear, the clothes and rubber shoes are worn by my uncle for farm work, so it is just right for him to wear.

Tang Liwei got dressed without saying a word, and was about to set off full of confidence.Seeing that he looked confident, Chen Chi thought that he would know after a while that he would not regret it after seeing you, so he smiled unkindly.

Tang Liwei was carrying the cage. Although it was shaking violently, it was not too bad. He changed his left shoulder and then his right shoulder. Chen Chi saw him changing it back and forth, thinking that his shoulder was hurting from the weight of the shoulder pole.

"Give me the cage, you can't bear it if you haven't picked it before." Chen Chi took the pole after finishing speaking.

"No, I can do it." Tang Liwei felt that this was just the time to fulfill his promise to Chen Chi, and a small cage was not easy to choose, so he didn't give it.

"Your shoulders are starting to hurt, don't you feel more and more that your back is going to be bent?" Chen Chi was not in a hurry, he walked slowly and said slowly.

Hearing what he said, Tang Liwei felt that it was true. He originally thought that dozens of cages were nothing, and he could carry them with his hands. Later, he found that walking with them was not easy, so he changed to a shoulder. It hurts from the pressure, and the flesh on the shoulder hurts like a strangle, so he changed his left shoulder and his right shoulder for a while.

"Okay, just give it to me, I'm used to it, let me do it." Chen Chi pulled Tang Liwei to stop with a pole.

Tang Liwei couldn't refuse anymore, so he gave the cage to Chen Chi. Chen Chi put it on his shoulders and walked away, telling him to follow.

The two of them walked to the paddy field one foot after another.Yellow eel cages are usually placed in shallow water rice fields. There will be no rice field eels in deep water. There will be many unseen caves on the edge of rice field ridges. At this time, you need to check the caves to see how to put the cages.Chen Chi came to a paddy field and lay down on the ridge to look at the cave by the water.

"The cages are not placed randomly. Some caves contain nothing but crabs and snakes. We must not misplace them." Chen Chi looked at the caves for a while and said to Tang Liwei.

"Then what kind of hole is the eel hole." Tang Liwei also followed him to look at the caves in the water. He saw many densely packed small caves, the size of his little finger.

"Slightly irregular round shape. Don't be too round. Those that are too round may be snake holes, those that are too flat or too big are crab holes, and some are empty. The small holes you see are nothing." Chen Chi pointed Tang Liwei said to him when he saw Xiaodong.

"Oh, you're still so particular." Tang Liwei was full of curiosity.

"Other people told me about it. I started to catch with them, and they taught me." Chen Chi explained, and the two continued to look for the cave with their poles.

Chen Chi hasn't caught it for a semester, and he won't catch those places he used to catch. After a winter, most eels will find their holes again, so Chen Chi has to change places every year.This requires shuttling through large rice fields every day, so you have to be fully armed with long trousers and long clothes.

Chen Chi changed another place to observe for a while, took out a cage, opened the small end of the cage and placed it next to the hole, but it didn't block the hole, but left the hole intentionally.

Tang Liwei was puzzled, so he asked him why.

"Sometimes the eel in the cave went out to look for food but didn't come back. It was blocked and there was nothing in it. It could neither enter the cave nor the cage when it came back. It was a waste of one." Chen Chi explained.

"Oh, it's too difficult. I can't catch it if I don't find it right, and I can't catch it if I don't put it well. I see, I won't be able to find it after I put it away. There are all big pieces here. The rice fields are all the same, so how do I find my cage." Tang Liwei looked around and saw that the dark green was all the same.

"So it's time to test your memory. We all know who owns the fields here, and there are marks on each cage. Look, there is a red cloth strip on my cage. If someone else gets mine If the cage is not his, he will put it back." Chen Chi said while holding a cage and pointing to the cloth strip on it.

"If you take it wrong, you will put it back. What if there is a rice field eel in it and someone else takes it?" Tang Liwei thinks that others will be so conscious?

"Just try not to let others get it, or let it go in a hidden place, or take it earlier than others." Chen Chi shrugged.

"How early?"

"As early as you can, but I usually collect around 03:30."

"So early? I'll go, how can I get up." Tang Liwei felt that not sleeping well was a punishment.

"It doesn't matter if you can't afford it, or you'll be taken in by someone else or the eel will die." Chen Chi said the same thing.

"Have you been like this every day during your summer vacation?" Tang Liwei didn't believe it.

"Well, it's been several years. Anyway, there's nothing to do during the summer vacation. After collecting the cages and going home, you can dump the eels and sell them. You can sleep as long as you want when you come back. Anyway, you have nothing to do all day."

Tang Liwei felt that he got to know a new Chen Chi, who was completely different from Chen Chi who worked regularly at school every day.

Along the way, Tang Liwei followed Chen Chi to stop and go, and the two of them made a big circle in the rice field. When the last one was put away, Tang Liwei felt that it was more tiring than running and playing basketball every day.

"Xiao Chi, you are so awesome!" Tang Liwei admired Chen Chi from the bottom of his heart.

"This is awesome. Have you ever seen people who come to put cages twice a day, and they also go to catch shrimps. I just catch eels, and the shrimps are only eaten in the nets. They are not sold. They are better than me. They are better than me. A month equals my income for a summer vacation.”

"Then how much can you earn in one summer vacation?" Tang Liwei got excited when money was mentioned.

"Look at luck, I'm probably around 2000 yuan. Others have more than me. When luck is good, sell more. If luck is bad, it's a thousand yuan." Chen Chi is doing the math for him, " But I’m already pretty good, I spend all of it myself, they want to make a fortune, I’m different from them.”

Tang Liwei heard him calculate the income from selling eels and couldn't help but think of his father's business. He once heard that Tang's father's annual net income was more than 90 yuan, but it was small, and sometimes it was 200 million yuan. , he thought it was a good way to make money.This time, thinking of Chen Chi's income, he immediately compared it.He has never had a big concept of money. Firstly, he is young and secondly, he has no shortage of money to spend. However, since he confessed to Chen Chi and started doing business with his father, he has begun to form a concept of money.However, Chen Chi's small amount of money is really not to him, but it is already a huge windfall to think of having extra income in a rural area where people live entirely on crops.So Chen Chi said that there are people who earn more than him, because they know that money is important.And Chen Chi's purpose of earning money is to go to school, and he doesn't think too much about life. The rice, noodles and grains that his family eats are all grown by himself, unlike his family's need to buy.

He felt that Chen Chi didn't like it when he ran around carrying those dozens of cages to earn that little money every day.Fortunately, it’s not hot when it’s raining. If it’s sunny and the sun is basking in the sun, it’s unbearable.The heat wave in the rice field is coming layer by layer, even if you are living in the heat, you can’t bear to pick the cage and turn around. He also thought of the first time he went to see him in their dormitory. At that time, Chen Chi took off his clothes and was about to take a bath. The color of the neck and body was immediately clear.

Tang Liwei let out a long sigh in his heart.With such a small body, Chen Chi has been catching eels for the past few years. He must have suffered a lot. Compared with him, he is enjoying the enjoyment in heaven.In the first few years, he would go to Tang's father every summer vacation. When it was hot, he would turn on the air conditioner and eat watermelon in the house. Only at night would he go out and ask his elder sister and father to take him to the supermarket.While he was blowing on the air conditioner, Chen Chi was putting cages in one paddy field after another.When he woke up in the morning, Chen Chi had already sold the rice field eels, and not counting the time to collect the cages, it was enough work to find the cages in their original places one by one.

He felt that he was really inferior to Chen Chi.

"Xiaochi, don't come and arrest me in the future!" Tang Liwei didn't know why he said this, but he actually wanted to say in his heart: Xiaochi, I will make money to support you in the future.

"If I don't come, why don't you come?" Chen Chi said jokingly.

"I'm not coming either." Tang Liwei answered immediately.He thought he was already a money maker. Although he called his father to ask about his business and his father only said that it was still in its infancy and not very profitable, but he was never as tired as Chen Chi.He really didn't know the situation in the countryside and couldn't see Chen Chi suffering.

"Then it's over. I'll come if you don't come, but I won't have a chance in the future. I probably won't be able to catch me after I go out to school." Chen Chi said thoughtfully, carrying an empty pole, The wooden stakes hanging on both ends swayed from side to side as he walked, which looked very funny from a distance.

Tang Liwei followed behind him, walking back across the field ridge.

After this incident, he became more determined to make money, the importance of money to him.He is not a greedy person, but without money, how can he promise Chen Chi to fulfill his good promise to him, and how can he make Chen Chi no longer suffer at a young age, and his shoulders don't hurt like him.He sincerely admired and felt sorry for Chen Chi.
