Subversion of Rebirth

The cold wind was howling in the early morning, and Pan Lingjia huddled on the back seat of the bicycle, watching the dark and hazy scenery fly by on both sides.

The simple one-story house looked extraordinarily gray and gloomy under the dim street lights, as if something would jump out of the darkness of the lights at any moment.

Thinking of this, Pan Lingjia couldn't help but move his hands supporting the back seat to Lin Xiao's waist.The warm body temperature passed through the clothes, which made him feel inexplicably at ease, and the fear in his heart subsided a little.

Lin Xiao, who was riding a bicycle in front, froze for a moment, and couldn't help shivering. Although the clothes he was wearing were thick enough, but suddenly there were such a pair of cold hands on his waist, anyone would be shocked. .

Lin Xiao originally wanted to speak out against the guy who startled her, but felt that those cold hands were still trembling slightly, suddenly her heart softened, and she continued to ride forward.

The bicycle quickly drove out of the rural housing area, and came to the flat fields with a panoramic view, and the neat fish ponds in the middle were dotted, which seemed patchwork.

However, the cold wind that blows over the fish pond nearby is a bit colder.

The roads in the field were all dirt roads, which seemed a bit bumpy. Sitting in the back seat, Pan Lingjia felt the pain in his buttocks, and couldn't help but hugged Lin Xiao in front of him tightly.

When the bicycle arrived at the destination and stopped, Lin Xiao looked at Pan Lingjia who was still hugging her tightly, "Hey, how long are you going to hug me? Get off the car quickly."

It was only at this time that Pan Lingjia came to his senses. After blushing and saying sorry in a low voice, he jumped out of the back seat. He looked up and found that they had come to the next door to a simple brick house at some point.These brick houses only have a few simple walls and tiled roofs, and the wall in front is only half a person's height, so it will definitely leak air in winter.

He followed Lin Xiao as he approached the brick house. At this moment, a pungent smell came over, and there were some whimpering animal sounds. Inside the brick house, he quickly covered his nose, frowned and asked, "Little Xiao, where is this?"

"Pigsty." The pigsty here is usually built next to the fish pond, so that it is convenient to get water for feeding nearby.

On the other side of the fish pond, there was a figure pulling a thin rope to drag something. From the other end, Grandpa Lin called out: "Xiao Xiao, are you here?"

Lin Xiao waved his hand over there and replied, "Grandpa, here we come." After finishing speaking, he put the bicycle in the utility room next to the pigsty, took out a notebook and a pen from the basket, and took Pan Lingjia from the narrow Tang Ji walked to the opposite bank.

"Be careful with your feet. The base of this pond is usually planted with grass, and many mice make holes in it. It is uneven and difficult to walk. It is not good to accidentally fall into the water and go swimming in winter. This is not your tune. Warm up the swimming pool." If it really fell, Pan Tongxi, who was frail, would inevitably get sick.

After hearing this, Pan Lingjia stared closely at the narrow pond base, and walked tremblingly, startled every step of the way.

"Xiao Xiao, where are your grandfathers and the others?" At this time, the sky began to dim, and Pan Lingjia looked at the people pulling the rope around the fish pond, and asked suspiciously.

"They are pulling the fishing net. Do you see the white ball floating on the surface of the water? It is the buoy of the fishing net. Grandpa and the others pulled it from one end to the other bank, passing the whole fish pond and netting the fish in the water."

"Isn't the fishing net going to be huge?"

"That's right, that's why so many people are needed to pull it. Although the fishing net is very light, when it gets into the water, the more fish in the net, the heavier it will be."

Lin Xiao and Lin Xiao were chatting, and on the way they passed the adults who were in charge of pulling the net on the other side. They all smiled and greeted Lin Xiao: "Hey, Xiao Xiao, why did you get up so early to help grandpa? What a good boy. You Which family is the kid next door? She looks really handsome."

"Good morning, Uncle and Aunt! This is my classmate Ajia, please continue to work hard, let's go there first." Lin Xiao greeted the adults, and then continued to walk over to her grandfather.

When they finally got close to Grandpa Lin, Grandpa Lin also saw Lin Xiao and the others.

"Nonsense, Xiao Xiao, why did you bring Xiao Jia here? Be careful not to freeze her!" At first, Grandpa Lin thought that it was only Lin Jian who came with Lin Xiao, but he didn't expect that it was a child entrusted by relatives at his home. How would he explain to others what happened?

Lin Xiao stuck out her tongue in the bottom of her heart, pretending to be innocent and said, "Ajia himself asked to come over to see him, Ajia, don't you think so?" Then he gave Pan Lingjia a cross look, implying that, how dare you If you say no, I will make you look good.

Pan Lingjia couldn't help shaking, and nodded quickly: "Grandpa Lin, I was the one who rushed to follow, and it's none of Xiaoxiao's business."

Let him know the times.

Lin Xiao nodded in satisfaction.Now that Pan Lingjia has said so, it is natural for Grandpa Lin not to criticize Lin Xiao any more.

"Grandpa, how many times has it been?" Lin Xiao asked.

"It's the second trip. We'll start loading the fish when we've gathered them. You'll count them on the sidelines." Grandpa Lin replied panting while pulling the rope.

"it is good."

"Xiao Xiao, what time is it?" The problem baby Pan Tongxie continued to ask.

"In order to clean up all the fish, generally dry pond trawls will be dragged more than once."

Pan Tongxi looked at Grandpa Lin and the others bent over, pulling the rope with veins in their hands, walking forward step by step with difficulty, and couldn't help asking: "Don't we need to go up and help?"

Lin Xiao glanced at him with a half-smile and said, "You can go to the end and help pull it together." His tone and eyes told Pan Lingjia that even if you go there, you won't be able to help.

Naturally, Pan Lingjia refused to admit defeat, carefully avoiding the adults who were walking by, walked to the end of the rope, took a deep breath, touched the fiber rope and pulled it back vigorously.

Then, unsurprisingly, without exerting any effort, his foot slipped and fell on the foundation of the pond.

"Puhaha!" The people pulling the rope couldn't help laughing, "Little boy, it's good that you want to help, but wait until you grow up ten years before coming here. It's better for you to stay on the sidelines now."

Pan Lingjia, who was so ashamed, had no choice but to run back to Lin Xiao's side in embarrassment.

Grandpa Lin also stared at Lin Xiao at this time: "Xiao Xiao, stay with Xiao Jia and don't make trouble."

Lin Xiao shrugged, it was not her who made the trouble.

When the adults couldn't easily gather the fishing nets together, Lin Xiao and the others stood on the foundation of the pond, watching the backs of the blue and black fish squeeze and swim in the nets.From time to time, white water splashes appeared in the fishing net, and the densely packed fish made people feel the joy of harvest.

After fixing the fishing net, Grandpa Lin led a few people in waterproof suits and jumped into the water, pulled a plastic bucket, and started throwing fish into it.

Bang bang bang, each fish was thrown into different pods.

A fierce big fish flicked its tail vigorously, and even Lin Xiao and the others who were standing on the shore could feel the splash.

After the first round of plastic buckets were filled, Grandpa Lin shouted to Lin Xiao, "Xiao Xiao, start counting!"

"it is good!"

"245 catties of side fish, 261 catties of bighead carp (scientific name bighead carp), 195 catties of carp..."

Lin Xiao jotted it down in his notebook.

Halfway through the pretense, Grandpa Lin took time out to ask, "Xiao Xiao, how many catties does the side fish weigh now?"

"452 catties." Lin Xiao replied without raising her head.

Pan Lingjia who was on the side noticed that Lin Xiao was counting very fast. A series of numbers were recorded in the notebook, and the total was written on the side.

"Haha, Lao Lin, it seems that you have gained a lot this trip, which can be regarded as a bumper harvest." An old man on the side joked.

"Hehe, it's okay. Remember Liji Restaurant tonight, we two have a good drink." Grandpa Lin said happily when he saw that the harvest was good.

After the netting and harvesting of fish came to an end, the sky was completely lit up.

Lin Xiao and the others followed Grandpa Lin and him into the fish cart, bumping towards the fish wholesale market in the town.

"Old Lin, are you here? Oh, it looks like this year's harvest is good." A seasoned middle-aged man joined Grandpa Lin and the others.

"Haha, TOEFL TOEFL, the harvest is not bad, what is the price of fish today?"

"Let me see, the side fish is 2.1 yuan/catties, the big head has increased by 3.3 yuan/catties recently, the carp has dropped, and now it is only 2.5 yuan/catties..."

After the price was reported, Grandpa Lin turned to look at Lin Xiao: "Xiao Xiao?"

“侧鱼912斤，共1915.2元；大头893斤，共2946.9元；鲤鱼675斤，1687.5元。”林潇继续报数。

Pan Lingjia was already standing beside her with a sluggish mouth, and Lin Xiao could count so fast, and it seems that the multiplication of decimal points should only be learned in the sixth grade, right?hitting...

At this time, Lin Xiao took the time to smile at him: "Once you count too much, you will naturally get familiar with it."

Pan Lingjia finally understood that what Lin Xiao learned came from the practical application in life, not from the textbooks they memorized by rote, that's why he learned so quickly.

Pan Lingjia felt a sense of frustration. She felt that she had lived for so long that it seemed to be in vain...

He never knew how much rice, grain and oil sold for a catty now, nor did he know how much the clothes he was wearing were sold for, let alone how hard it would be to make money. Usually, he never looked at the price when buying things. My parents spend their money so righteously, but I never thought about how hard it is for my parents to make money...

(--I would like to declare here that when capitalist funds have accumulated to a certain extent, it is basically money that generates money. So I am not sure whether your parents have worked hard to make money. But Pan Tongxie can understand that it is not easy to make money, This is a good thing.)
