In his previous life, Li Xia had suffered a lot that ordinary people had never experienced.
Initially, Li Xia had thought that those miscellaneous skills that he had honed through hardship were useless.
Only after his rebirth did he realize that it had no use for him. It had come in handy, and it was really fragrant!
In his previous life, Li Xia had also learned how to weave bamboo. He made bamboo baskets and birdcages and sold them at the flower and bird market.
Li Xia was very familiar with this skill.
He looked at the two little fellows running over with admiration in their eyes.
Li Xia smiled and patted the heads of the two kids."
"Carry the fish basket into the house.”
"Alright ~!"
The two little fellows used all their strength to carry the fish basket and walked away.
The fish basket did not have much weight, so the two little fellows could definitely carry it.
It was just that the two children could not balance themselves well, so when they carried it, they swayed back and forth. They looked silly and silly, as if they were drunk.
Li Xia smiled and shook his head.
After making the fish basket, there were still some strips and thin bamboos left.
Li Xia thought for a while and made two bamboo cages for catching prawns, crabs, and eels.
The design of the cage was ingenious. There were a total of three layers from the outside to the inside. After the fish and prawns entered, there was nowhere to escape.
He relied on the mountain to eat the mountain, and the water to drink the water.
Shangrong Village relied on a river with such rich water resources. Li Xia had no reason not to dig up as much as he could.
Furthermore, there were no competitors at the moment.
The others didn't have Li Xia's rich experience and impressive skills.
Finally, there were still some materials left. Li Xia did not want to waste them.
He could make a bamboo ball for the two little fellows as a toy.
The bamboo ball with a diameter of 20 centimeters was extremely elastic.
During the production process, Li Xia found a bell and stuffed it inside.
When the bamboo ball was thrown into the air, it would make a tinkling sound.
When the two little fellows saw the toys that Li Xia made for them, they were so happy that they danced around.
"Thank you, Daddy!"
" Papa is awesome!"
The two children immediately started playing in the courtyard, having a great time.
……
Li Xia carried the two cages to the river.
Along the way, many villagers cast sidelong glances.
They all looked at Li Xia curiously, their eyes filled with doubt.
What was that thing on Li Xia's shoulder?
The bamboo basket did not look like a bamboo basket, and the vegetable basket did not look like a vegetable basket.
None of them thought about the cage.
Nowadays, the cages used to catch fish were all made of simple nets and could only catch some small fish.
The little fish didn't have any meat to eat, and it also consumed a lot of oil to cook, so no one would bother.
After Li Xia had walked far away, Old Zhao carried his hoe and walked to the ridge next door. He said to Jiang Shunwang, who was busy,
"Hey, Old Jiang, look at that street punk. He doesn't do any proper work all day. His wife and children are almost eating chaff and swallowing vegetables. He only knows how to fool around outside.”
Jiang Shunwang raised his head and glanced at Li Xia's receding figure. He frowned and shook his head.
"God knows what that is. It's just something fun.”
"This fool is always away from home. There are two children at home. He doesn't know how to take care of them.”
" Sigh." Old Man Zhao nodded." I pity that beautiful girl, Chu Mengxi. She married the wrong man…"
Jiang Shunwang spat on his palm and raised his hoe to continue working.
Speaking of which, he was also a little envious of Li Xia's street life.
Although he was heartless, he knew how to enjoy himself.
Jiang Shunwang still remembered the taste of the braised fish at noon. It was really fragrant.
……
On the ridge, Li Xia caught some frogs and dug out some earthworms.
The frog's stomach needed to be cut open, and its intestines and other things were exposed, emitting a fishy smell.
The earthworms were alive, twisting and turning to lure them.
Li Xia stuffed the bait into the innermost layer of the cage.
The water by the river was about one and a half meters deep. There were many aquatic plants and river shrimps.
Li Xia sank the bamboo cage into the ground. The cage was held down by a green neon rope. He nailed a small wooden stake into the soil by the river and tied the other end of the neon rope a few times to secure it.
The cage was done. Li Xia clapped his hands and walked back.
Shangrong Village's folk customs were pure, so there was no need to worry about the villagers stealing.
Not to mention this relatively hidden cage.
……
He returned home.
The two children were happily playing with bamboo sticks.
Thump thump.
When they heard footsteps, they turned around and saw that Li Xia had returned.
"Daddy!"
"Papa! Come and play with us!"
The two little fellows started to stick to Li Xia.
Although Li Xia had been very cold to the two children in the past, he had never been kind to them.
But the child was young and could not remember anything.
Today, Li Xia cooked delicious food for them, picked wild raspberries, and made toys for them.
The image of a good father was immediately established in the hearts of the two little fellows.
Li Xia squatted down and pinched the smooth and tender cheeks of the two milk dumplings. She smiled and said,"
"Daddy wants to go to the county town to earn money. After earning money, I'll buy you guys delicious food.”
Earning money?
The two little kids had no idea what this word meant.
However, when they heard the words " buy delicious food," their eyes immediately lit up.
"Dad, go quickly. We'll wait for you at home!”
"Daddi, we'll wait for you to come back obediently!”
Li Xia shook his head and smiled when he saw the two little ones blinking their big eyes at him.
He caught two live fish from the tank, picked up two pieces of dry straw, and put them on before carrying the fish out of the door.
She turned left and knocked on Jiang Shunwang's door.
Inside.
Aunt Wang was a little tired after chopping the pigweed and tidying up the house.
She was napping on the rattan chair when she heard the knock on the door. She got up reluctantly.
"Who is it?"
At this time, everyone was working in the fields. Who was free to disturb her afternoon nap?
She muttered to herself. She had been sleeping soundly and dreaming. She was about to eat a mouthful of delicious braised fish.
However, he was interrupted by a knock on the door.
Aunt Wang opened the door.
She opened her blurry eyes. When she saw the person standing outside the door, she instantly woke up.
It was Chu Mengxi's husband from next door, the street punk she disliked the most, Li Xia.
"You…what do you want?"
Aunt Wang looked at Li Xia in confusion and then sized her up.
When she saw Li Xia holding two big fat fish in his hands, she was stunned and her eyes widened.
Where did these two live fish come from?!
Didn't they already have braised fish for lunch? There were still two more?!
Li Xia didn't stand on ceremony and went straight to the point,""Auntie, I'm looking for you."
Aunt Wang's eyes were still fixed on the two live fish that Li Xia was carrying. She subconsciously asked,"
"What is it?"
"Do you have a handcart at home?”
Hearing this, Aunt Wang moved her eyes away from the fish. She looked up at Li Xia and said warily,
"Ah…we don't have a handcart at home. You're mistaken.”
Aunt Wang knew Li Xia's character.
This little rascal, he used to borrow money from the village and never paid it back.
Why, now this street punk has designs on my family's cart?!
Aunt Wang hurriedly waved her hand. Although the handcart was placed in the courtyard, their family only used it a few times a year.
But even so, she definitely wouldn't let Li Xia, this street scoundrel, borrow her money.
Aunt Wang said "No" as she closed the door.
Li Xia was still smiling.
He blocked the door with his foot.
"Auntie, I saw it. Isn't your family's handcart in the courtyard? Just lend it to me for a few days.”
Aunt Wang was shocked. The cart had been seen by this street punk.
Borrow it for a few days?
I'm afraid I won't be able to repay you!
Aunt Wang shook her head and was about to speak…
Li Xia smiled and said," Auntie, I won't lend it to you for free. Here, these are two fresh live Crucian Carps. I caught them in the river this morning. I'll give them to you to try."”
What?
Aunt Wang's eyes lit up. Li Xia was giving her the two big fat fish?
This was very tempting…
After all, leaving the cart in the yard to mold was not of much use to their family.
These two fish were good stuff!
At noon, Aunt Wang and her husband, Jiang Shunwang, were extremely hungry.
It was very cost-effective to borrow a handcart for two fresh and fat fish!
Aunt Wang estimated that these two big fat fish were at least one catty each.
It would cost 70 to 80 cents per catty at the market in the county town!
These two fish were worth 1.5 or 1.6 yuan!
Although the handcart that was left in the yard all year round was worth four to five yuan, if it was really sold, no one would want it even for two yuan.
Aunt Wang's heart raced. She stared at the two live fish in Li Xia's hands again and swallowed her saliva.
This was a matter of taking advantage!
