Chapter 27 Old Classmates
"Mouse, you are really good here, much better than our town. You don't know that we have recently opened a small paper mill, which is chaotic all day long. Every time we open the furnace, every family has closed the windows. The finance office is more than a mile away from the paper mill, but all the fish raised in the pond are dead." Pang Xu stood under the willow tree, constantly hitting the eel heads protruding from the ditch with small wooden sticks, as if it is getting more and more interesting.
"I said you boy has nothing to do, right? I'm still selling the eels for money," Seeing that he was getting more and more excited, Liu Junhao hurriedly took down the stick. His voice caused two girls watching the watermelon under the tree to laugh quietly.
"Grandma, you can give me some face at least." Pang Xu muttered in a low voice, then sat on the big bluestone beside the ditch and shouted again, "It's so cool."
The big bluestone was thrown under the tree without the sun, and there was moss growing wet underneath, and a large area of chrysanthemum lotus appeared on the ground.
"You kid and Xu Xiaoli have not yet become a gangster, won't you?" Liu Junhao also sat on the stone opposite.
"Ahem, what are you saying? What should I do if Xiaoli hears it?" Seeing that the two girls did not turn their attention here, he said proudly: "My buddy has already visited Xiaoli's house. His parents are quite satisfied with me. Let's talk about our affairs until we graduate. Are you living a leisurely life? When you just dropped out of school, I thought that when you saw you again, I must have become a standard mountain man, with a child with a runny nose and a crotch-open-crowned pants behind your butt."
"Go to your uncle, you're like this." Liu Junhao slapped his knee.
The two of them chatted indifferently, and they hadn't met for several years. They both felt a little emotional. It would be fake to say that Liu Junhao was unhappy.
"By the way, all the students in our high school are okay?" After chatting for a while, Liu Junhao remembered other students.
"You kid has a conscience. If you don't ask about it today, I will ruin your reputation when I go back and say you have no conscience." Pang Xu then sighed: "Those who go to college and those who work have a party during the Chinese New Year last year, but people are always there, and a few classmates are asking you. But you kid left at that time, and no one has your contact information. If I hadn't come to Liujiagou this time, I wouldn't know when I would have seen you. But you kid is a character, and you made such a big noise, just like the book said that Jin Lin is not a thing in the pool, but when you encounter a change of wind and clouds, you will be a dragon."
"Bad, when did you learn fortune telling?" Liu Junhao knew he was joking and didn't care. "Damn, put on the sneakers quickly. You have athlete's foot. I'll know when I slept on you."
"It's okay, I'll use the water in your ditch to wash my feet." Pang Xu said as he put his big feet into the cold ditch.
The flowing water does not rot. Although the water in Liu Junhao's yard is not live water, the eels often move back and forth, and he deliberately threw some duckweed in the ditch, so the water was always very clear.
"You kid won't kill my eel today? Your feet are so smelly?" Liu Junhao looked at the boy's teeth and bit them with hatred.
"Ah, something is chewing on my feet. What kind of fish is too bold. It's so comfortable. Is this the legendary fish therapy?" Pang Xu was amazed, and then the big foot board was stirred in the water.
"You boy... what kind of fish therapy is this?" Liu Junhao knew that the one who chewed Pang Xu's stinky feet was just the meat-grass raised in the pool. This kind of fish is not afraid of people but cannot grow. The largest one is only seven or eight centimeters older than one centimeter smaller. When you go to the river to take a bath in summer, you just stand in the water and don't move. In a short while, a large group of meat-grass will swim over, constantly biting your legs and gnawing on the human body's dandruff.
That feeling was very comfortable. When Liu Junhao was fine, he also liked to lie in shallow water, letting the meat and malt bite his old skin.
Pang Xu stretched out his feet until his big feet turned white, shook the water and asked, "Mouse, I said you seem to make money by raising eels. When I came, I heard from your villagers that it would be a problem to earn two or three thousand yuan a month, right?"
"It's okay, it's enough to live," he sold Huangshan in scattered days, and there was no accurate number, but there were still two or three thousand yuan a month.
"You guys are better. I don't know where to find a job after graduation. It's the same as not going to a college degree." Pang Xu said with some disappointment. He is worried about finding a job next year. Now the university has been expanding its enrollment, and the employment situation is becoming increasingly serious. Many people have not found a job after graduation for one or two years.
"Don't worry, take your time, when will you leave?" Liu Junhao often sees the problem of difficulty in employment for college students in newspapers. He knows that the more he talks about this topic, the more depressed he becomes, so he changes the topic.
"Why, your kid wants to drive me away so quickly. Let me tell you, my buddy is not leaving today, you must be poor." Pang Xu said with a smile.
"You are leaving today and you are grandson. I was going to ask you when you left and bring you a few kilograms of eels back. Looking at your grandson's villainous look, I will tell Xu Xiaoli about your high school affairs in a while. When you can take the exam, you run to the girls' bathroom to peep." Thinking of his scandal, Liu Junhao couldn't stop laughing.
"Hey, mouse, you are too unrighteous, brother... Brother Liu, you can't frame me." Pang Xuxia was immediately anxious when he heard what he said.
Speaking of which, this matter is quite interesting. At that time, they went to the county No. 1 Middle School to take the exam. The school toilet did not put a sign on it and wrote a man and a woman, but instead used a portrait of a villain instead. Of course, there was also English next to it. Pang Xu was very anxious at the time and did not pay attention to the sign. He just rushed in with his pants in a hurry. Liu Junhao didn't even have time to hold him back.
After a while, a girl with eyes also went in. Then she heard a scream. The girl ran out, and Pang Xu walked out leisurely, which shocked Liu Junhao.
After his repeated questioning, Pang Xu was about to come out of the scene. It turned out that he was washing his hands on the faucet. Suddenly, he was shocked when he saw a woman coming in. He noticed that he had actually run into the women's toilet. At that time, he said without changing his face, "Classmate, you entered the wrong toilet, this is the men's toilet."
The woman was probably a student from another school who took the exam. She couldn't tell the difference in desperation and ran out with a blushing face.
Afterwards, Pang Xu proudly claimed that he had a wise mind, and that if ordinary people were probably regarded as hooligans at that time.
"No, you wronged me just now. I will expose you no matter what I say." Liu Junhao just wanted to see how he was defeated.
"My buddy is afraid that you won't be able to do it. At worst, how about you introduce a girlfriend to you. How about Zhang Qian?"
"You'd better get your Xu Xiaoli done first," Liu Junhao knew that he was changing the subject, so he didn't care.
At this moment, the hairy child shouted in the front yard: "Uncle, I'll pick the black melon I want for you."
"I'm here, send it here." Liu Junhao responded, and saw the hairy child walking over with his hands in the carriage, while Xiaopi followed behind him, constantly sticking out his tongue.
"So many, don't I just want you to pick seven or eight?" Liu Junhao saw him carrying a large basket of black melons, and hurriedly met him and caught it. It was 17 or pounds. "Give ten yuan, it's money, and take it to the bald Lao Ba in the village to buy candy."
Originally, there were no shops in the village, but since the number of people in the city has increased, Tu Laoba’s agency sales point has emerged and is still quite prosperous.
"No money, my mother said that I often go to your yard to pick vegetables, but you have never asked for money. This black melon is for you to taste."
"Good boy, uncle has guests here at noon. You will have dinner here later. Let me accompany you." Liu Junhao stopped paying money after hearing this. He picked up a handful of vegetables, fruits and melons in the yard. He never said anything. He couldn't finish it anyway. Instead of rotting it in the field, it would be better to give it to the villagers. The rural people are really good and remember some favors, so he often doesn't want money when he buys some things in the village.
"No, I'm going home, my mom won't let me bother you." The hairy child turned around and was about to leave.
"Don't leave, why don't you listen to your uncle? If you leave, don't cook dates in your uncle's yard." People send so many black-skinned melons, it's not reasonable to leave them for a meal.
When I was talking about this, Pang Xu had washed a few black melons in the ditch and called Xu Xiaoli and the others to come and eat it.
Black-skinned melon is a local specialty of Daqingshan. It looks a bit like a watermelon, but in fact it is a type of melon. It is very large and the flesh inside is very sweet and fragrant, but the skin is very thick.
"Well, this melon is delicious, it's so sweet." Pang Xu had already cut a large piece with the knife on the key chain and hugged it and chewed it.
