"Hey, Sixth Uncle, do you know anyone who has a fishing rod?”Looking at the person who walked past his house, Gu Yu thought for a moment before calling out.
"Fishing rod? There should be some at the fish pond, right? What, you want to fish?”Hearing Gu Yu's words, the middle-aged man stopped smiling and said to Gu Yu.
"Yeah, I have nothing to do anyway.”Gu Yu smiled and said a few words to the man before walking in the direction that the man had pointed to, towards his third uncle's house.
Actually, looking at Gu Yu's attire, he was actually a little out of place in the current environment. To be exact, Gu Yu did not belong here.
Gu Yu was originally a young man from the city. The reason why he was here was mainly because of his grandfather's generation.
His grandfather was originally from this village. Later on, when he grew up, Gu Yu's grandfather and grandmother were no longer around, so he went to the city to work. After getting to know Gu Yu's grandmother, he stayed in the city. Later on, with Gu Yu's father, there was no need for him to come back.
Although he had always lived in the city, his household registration had never been changed.
When he was very young, Gu Yu would often come back to play with his grandfather during the winter and summer holidays, so many people in the village knew him.
However, the last time Gu Yu came back was probably ten years ago. That was when his grandfather passed away and he came back to rest in peace.
This time, he came back mainly because his father allowed it.
This matter had to start from last year when the imperial court ordered the construction of a new village.
At that time, the town had stipulated that the court would give a portion of the money to subsidize all the houses. All the families were required to pay for the repair of the houses. This was also a face project, but the effect was not bad. At least now, there were no houses made of soil in the village. Even the single-story houses were rebuilt with brick structures. The outside was also covered with ceramic tiles, which looked very beautiful. Although Gu Yu's family was registered in the city, his grandfather's homestead was still there.
The village found Gu Yu's father and told him that if Gu Yu's father wanted to repair it, the village would give them some money to take the land away.
Gu Yu's father, who knew how expensive the houses in the city were, naturally would not let them spend money to buy a homestead. So, he took out 100,000 yuan and added the imperial court's subsidy to completely renovate the houses here. The original mud house was turned into a two-story building. It looked very beautiful and comfortable. The construction of houses in the village was very fast. In more than a month, the houses were ready.
It had been more than half a year since the furniture was bought by someone familiar with the village.
Logically speaking, they should have come over to check it out a long time ago. However, Gu Yu's family of three did not have time. Gu Yu's mother was still busy with square dancing, cooking, and cleaning up the house. Gu Yu's father had not retired and still had to work.
As for Gu Yu, he used to work as well. However, he had just lost his job last week, so he was the only one free in the family. Furthermore, he was in a bad mood after losing his job, so his father sent him over to check out his hometown and take a break.
He had already returned yesterday, but on the first day, he had drunk too much at his second grandfather's house next door. His second grandfather was not his biological grandfather, but his grandfather's uncle's brother. He was considered a distant relative. His family had also helped to build this house and furniture.
Northeasterners were warm to begin with, not to mention that they had relatives.
Yesterday, Gu Yu came over and started drinking at noon. He finished the white stuff and drank the beer. If it wasn't for his good self-control, he might not have been able to go home.
After spending a night in this house in a daze.
This morning, he actually didn't sleep well at all because he was woken up…
In the northeast, the sun came out early. The moment the sun came out, the chickens in the village began to crow. The chickens woke up the dogs, and then the dogs began to bark. After the dogs barked, the cows and pigs began to bark.
Gu Yu stayed in bed until five o'clock. He couldn't take it anymore before he got up.
However, when he wanted to wash his face and brush his teeth, he realized that there was no water or electricity in his house.
Even though the water and electricity were connected, Gu Yu's house had never been used before, so naturally, no one would be able to transfer money. If they wanted to pay, they would have to wait until nine o'clock, when the town's electricity station and the like were open for business. Only then would the village be able to pay, so Gu Yu could only go to the well behind their house to get water.
It had to be said that Gu Yu's grandfather's house was really ancient.
There were no longer any wells in the northeast that could draw water directly. These wells were not safe and could not be used in winter. Therefore, they were all using pressure wells. Only Gu Yu's family still used these large wells.
However, the feeling of washing one's face and brushing one's teeth after getting the water out of the well was really refreshing. After boiling it, Gu Yu, who was originally a little tired and had yet to recover from the wine, instantly became a hundred times more energetic. At this moment, Gu Yu also discovered that there seemed to be the shadow of a fish at the bottom of the well.
When he was young, he heard his grandfather say that raising fish in the well was mainly to test whether the water was still usable and whether it was still running water. If the fish died, then the water could not be used. According to his grandfather, his grandfather had put the fish in when he was young. Until now, who knew how many fish there were in the well and how big they were.
Thinking of this, he wanted to get it out and see, but he couldn't get it out with water, so he prepared to fish. At the end of the day, he wanted to eat first before fishing.
However, when he went out, he realized that there was no one at his second grandfather's house. This was because the people here all went out to do farm work at three or four in the morning. After finishing the farm work, they would come back at seven or eight in the morning for breakfast. Then, they would start to do the chores at home, such as feeding the chickens, feeding the pigs, cleaning, and so on. Then, they would have lunch at noon. When the sun was not so strong, they would go to do farm work in the afternoon. It was not even six in the morning, so there was indeed no one there.
Hence, he wanted to borrow a fishing rod from somewhere. Since there was no one around, he might as well fish and take a look. After receiving the directions, Gu Yu breathed in the fresh air of the mountain village as he walked towards the third house that Sixth Uncle had mentioned.
This third brother was originally called Gu Yang. He was the third brother of Gu Yu's father's generation, so Gu Yu had to call him Third Uncle. His family had a fish pond, and two of the ponds were specially used for others to fish. If there was a fishing rod in the village, it was most likely from his place. He hummed along the way. Not long after, Gu Yu saw a fish pond in the distance and a couple who had woken up early to feed the fish.
The dark-skinned middle-aged man was Gu Yu's third uncle.
