Chapter 4: We are all wanderers in this vast world

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

"Don't! Uncle, be a good person to the end!" Ling Er pretended to be packing his rod, not caring to tie the frog bait. If he were truly around ten years old, he would definitely not hold back, but now, he had long passed the age of ignorance and fearlessness.

Not everyone is willing to spend it

Ling Er was so delighted that his teeth were showing

Water seedling cultivation is the primary method of seedling raising currently used in rural areas. Once the seedlings have grown to a certain extent, they can be pulled up and then transplanted.

However, Liu Guangxing did not dare to easily confront him, as it would undermine the reputation of the Huang family, which would bring no benefits.

Regardless of whether Huang Guoyu agreed or not, the iron shovel was seized from his hands, and then the shrimp net was pulled up from the water.

Huang Guoyu is the youngest in the Huang family and is the one who has achieved the least among them. He is a person who values his pride and is unwilling to get too close to his older siblings

Huang Guoyu said, "Hey, you little rascal, you did that on purpose"

He is still a child

"You child, you only know how to command others." Although Huang Guoyu said this, he still helped Ling Er to gather the fishing rods, and after catching the fish, he also assisted in placing them into the bucket

The shrimp were being caught one after another, and Ling Er was simply too busy to keep up. Before long, he became frustrated and sighed, "The earthworms are not lasting long enough."

Huang Guoyu, feeling a surge of anger, said, "If you have the ability, prove it by coming in first."

The two families share the same plight

Ling Er, with a playful grin, said, "Uncle, why don't you help me catch a few?"

"My grades are not bad at all. You can ask around at school; I am definitely in the top ten." Ling Er was not lying at all; his grades were indeed quite good. Although he could not be considered top-notch, he could still barely make it into the top ten of the entire school.

He discovered a problem; the earthworms used as bait were too soft. Before he could catch a few shrimp, they were usually torn apart by the claws of the lobsters, cut into pieces, rendering them unusable, necessitating the re-tying of the bait.

"It is impossible to borrow money, and I have no money either," Ling Er said, shrugging his shoulders. "As long as I have time, I can tell you how I have been getting by without money, especially recently."

Before long, Ling Er saw Huang Guoyu approaching with a dozen or so toads by their hind legs

"Don't, uncle, this shrimp is worth money. How about I give you a pack of cigarettes instead?" Ling Er hurriedly stopped him and said, "Hong Sanhuan!"

Huang Guoyu did not go to the fields either; he merely took a stick and poked and prodded along the ridges of the rice paddies. From time to time, small frogs would leap out from among the rice seedlings, and with quick reflexes, he caught them one by one.

There are plenty in the seedling fields, just go and catch them.

"The key issue is that you have no money." Ling Er said disdainfully, "Your family just welcomed a newborn, right? The pressure is immense. What will you do when both children need to go to school in the future? Can you just rely on words? We all live in the same village, and we see each other often. If you run out of money in the future, just let me know."

"I don't care at all!" Huang Guoyu thrust the shovel into the ground and walked towards the seedling field not far away

If someone gets annoyed, they will not take it too seriously with him

"You think too highly of yourself!" Huang Guoyu turned to leave

This is particularly experienced

Riding on the coattails of the Chinese women's volleyball team's three consecutive championships, Hong Sanhuan is nonetheless a renowned cigarette brand from Anhui Province! Smoking Hong Sanhuan is also a symbol of status

"What nonsense." Huang Guoyu scoffed, "Why don't you go catch some frogs? Frogs are tough to bite."

"Where am I supposed to go to catch a frog in broad daylight?" Ling Er rolled his eyes at him

He lamented that being young is convenient, as one can speak without reservations

I didn't notice, when did you become so sharp-tongued, child? Huang Guoyu was so angry that his teeth itched, saying, "Would it kill you to say some nice words?"

"Boasting does not incur taxes, so feel free to brag!" Huang Guoyu gave a disdainful glance.

"Don't just stand there, help me fish for a while." Ling Er did not respond, focusing on reeling in his own line.

Huang Guoyu is one of seven siblings, with three older sisters and three older brothers. Some work in hospitals, some at grain stations, some in the military, and others are teachers. In the surrounding ten miles, they are a well-known and respected family.

"Do not look down on others; the road is winding, the journey is difficult, but the future is bright. One must view problems with a perspective of development. My eldest sister is 16, I am 15, and my younger brother is also 14. Do you see? Soon we will have three strong laborers. To put it bluntly, even if we have to pick up scraps, there is no reason for us to starve. " Ling Er said with a smile, "Moreover, my brother is going to university in the future, to become an official or a lawyer, and he will earn a living with his intellect."

"Give it to me." Huang Guoyu reclaimed his shovel.

Ling Er sighed and said, "I do not have an easy life either, and there is no need for me to please you"

"Hey, don't be so disrespectful, who do you think you're talking to?" Huang Guoyu realized for the first time that this child was different from his perception. Although the child spoke in a disjointed manner, he exhibited a maturity that was not typical of ordinary children. He continued, "Stop wasting time on useless things; with this effort, you might as well delve into your studies and strive for good grades!"

Huang Guoyu did not know whether to be angry or embarrassed, as a rough man was made to blush and his neck thickened from the humiliation. As the saying goes: "One should not hit the face when striking, nor should one expose the shortcomings when scolding"

"What is there to boast about? The high school entrance examination is just around the corner. Whether it's a donkey or a horse, I'll run for you to see, won't that suffice?" After Ling Er finished speaking, he suddenly exclaimed, realizing that the shrimp pole had been dragged into the water by the lobster. "I was so busy talking to you, lend me the shovel to use."

In the morning, after leaving his home, Liu Guangxing went directly to the house of Huang Guoyu before him

Why does Linger II always bring up the wrong topic

If learning is not as good as a group of unruly children, he might as well find a piece of tofu to crash into

He remembers that there were indeed many frogs in the seedling fields at this meeting

Huang Guoyu asked with a strained neck, "I am telling you, can you lend it to me?"

He can only unleash the power of the Red Three Rings

"Did Liu Guangxing take your house?" Ling Er asked curiously

It is precisely when he is in a flurry that he currently has no time to seize.

Ling Erdao said, "I am presenting you with facts and reasoning. You say you are in a dire financial situation, and I cannot bear to see it. Speak up, for a person, if they have no money, what is the point of maintaining their dignity?"

He dares! Huang Guoyu glared with wide eyes, raising his eyebrows, clearly feeling wronged by the team leaders just now. Seeing Ling Er laughing there, he felt a bit uneasy all over and said irritably, "What are you laughing at? They can't do anything to me anyway; even if I have money, I won't give it to them."

How well can your family do? You should take care of your own family first before discussing others

Uncle, you are truly impressive

"What a nuisance!" Huang Guoyu complained incessantly, yet his hands moved swiftly, as he hurled one toad after another onto the ground, all of them meeting their end at the hands of the King of Hell.

Give it to him. Huang Guoyu wants to hold it himself

Two and a half per pack

Although his family is poor, at least the couple is working hard, they are diligent and able to endure hardships. They have managed to get through the current days, and by the autumn harvest, they will be able to catch their breath. Unlike the Ling family, who are still struggling with their pickled vegetables, the hard days are still ahead for them

"Just wait, if I want to, I will definitely be the first." Ling Er is full of confidence; he is now a person who has been reborn with a cheat!
