The Red Era: Starting from a Truck Driver

Chapter 5 Fishing
This time when he went out, Jiang Cheng planned to take a stroll by the river.

The origin of the name of Jinhe Commune is actually related to a very long river under the jurisdiction of a nearby commune, but the name of that river is not Jinhe, but Qingshuihe.

Jiang Cheng's brother drowned in the Qingshui River while trying to save a child, and the child was not rescued yet.

According to his memory, Jiang Cheng came to the Qingshui River. The river is about 10 to 20 meters wide, and the water flow is very fast in some places. It is now mid-June. Changcheng is a southern city, and June is the rainy season. It rains frequently and heavily. The Qingshui River floods every year in this month.

Now the Qingshui River is flowing fast and the water level is high, which is caused by the plum rain season.

Jiang Cheng strolled along the river. He was not here to hang out, nor to pay tribute to his deceased brother Jiang Quan. He would go to his grave tomorrow to pay tribute, and Jiang Cheng had to pay tribute to Jiang Quan before he started working.

After strolling along the river for a while, Jiang Cheng found several slow-flowing water outlets. He then stopped at one of the slow-flowing water outlets and looked around. There was no one by the river at this time. During the rainy season, the river was rushing, and few people strolled along the river.

Jiang Cheng first squatted down, then lay on the river bank, put his hands into the water, and then he had an idea.

"It's done~." Jiang Cheng said to himself excitedly. Just now, with a thought, a large area of ​​water disappeared. However, the disappeared water area was instantly filled with rapids.

In the space of the sea of ​​consciousness, Jiang Cheng saw the cube of water that had just been emptied and was still in the space. Jiang Cheng walked several meters away from the river and released the water that had just been put into the space.

With a "splash" sound, a large body of water appeared out of thin air and then fell to the ground. The water quickly flowed to the lower part, and then Jiang Cheng saw a lot of various fish, shrimps, clams, crabs, etc.

“Haha~.”

Jiang Cheng couldn't help but laugh as he watched everything in front of him. Fish meat is a good source of protein, although it can't compare to fatty pork, but it's free meat. And there are also river shrimps, wild and pollution-free river shrimps, which cost about 80 yuan per pound in Jiang Cheng's later years.

However, only those who know about wild river shrimp can buy them. If you don't know, you can't tell much difference between farmed and wild ones. As for river clams, they are actually good, but there are leeches in them, so you need to clean them with salt.

Jiang Cheng put the fish and many other things back into the space, and ignored the remaining mess. There were already many kinds of insects and other things on the riverside at this season.

After finishing one place, Jiang Cheng went to find the next place to "fish" things in the river. Unfortunately, the range he could fish was limited. Through this fishing, he also realized that although his portable space was large, he could only take about 5 cubic meters of things at a time. If he was really awesome, he could collect the whole river, then he could imitate Bai Suzhen and flood Jinshan.

He fished several times in a row, and the harvest was quite good. Jiang Cheng heard that in this era, there are big fish in many reservoirs, but there are no reservoirs in Jinhe Commune. If you want to catch big fish, there may be a lot in the lower reaches of Qingshui River.

After playing for an afternoon, Jiang Cheng made a few ropes with grass by the river. This was also due to the memory of the original owner of the body, otherwise he would not have been able to make ropes. Then he used the ropes to string a few larger fish, and walked home leisurely with them in his hands.

It's a pity that he didn't catch it while fishing in the future, otherwise Jiang Cheng would have walked around the street for a few times, passed by his home three times without entering, and showed off for a long time before going home.

Kaiyang Village, Jiang Changhe’s home, kitchen.

"Mom, how are we going to prepare dinner today? How is my brother-in-law going to eat?" Li Xianglan asked Zhao Yuxia. At noon, they had cooked some thin porridge, so thin that you could see the bottom of the bowl. This was how people in the countryside used to eat, except that those who went out to work would get an extra one or two steamed buns to eat.

Because Jiang Cheng went home, the porridge at noon was put away in a bowl, and Zhao Yuxia asked Li Xianglan to cook white rice again. Now the porridge made at noon must be used as dinner, but everyone can eat it like this. Jiang Cheng came back not to earn work points in the team, but to be a driver, so he must have rice every meal.

"Didn't Chengzi bring flour? You can roll some flour and make some noodles for him. We can just eat this porridge." Zhao Yuxia responded.

If Jiang Cheng came back, he would just go to the production team to earn work points. If he didn't go to work that night, even if he came back that day, it would be fine to drink porridge at night. But now the second son of the Jiang family is going to be a driver, so he can't go hungry.

Jiang Cheng is out for a walk. If he were at home, I would have to ask him what he is going to eat tonight.

After hearing what Zhao Yuxia said, Li Xianglan immediately nodded and went to get flour and dough to roll out the noodles. But after working for a while, she couldn't help but ask, "Mom, my brother-in-law is back now, but he's going to work as a driver in the city. How can we do what we talked about before?"

"Xianglan, this is not a easy matter to handle, but mother will talk to Chengzi and see what he thinks. Do you think it's okay?" Zhao Yuxia responded with a somewhat embarrassed look on her face.

When Li Xianglan heard her mother-in-law say this, she could only nod.

In fact, before Jiang Cheng came back, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had discussed some things after he came back, mainly the three children left by their eldest son Jiang Quan.

As the saying goes, brothers should settle accounts clearly. At that time, they discussed that if Jiang Cheng came back, even if he was willing to take care of his brother's children, what about the wife Jiang Cheng would marry in the future? Would she be willing?

But the son of a biological brother is not his biological son. What if Jiang Cheng is unwilling to raise him after he comes back?

Therefore, Zhao Yuxia and Li Xianglan had discussed before that it would be best if Jiang Cheng could help raise the three nephews and nieces out of brotherly love. If that was not possible, they could adopt the children under Jiang Cheng's name. This way, it would not be in vain, as the adopted children would also have to provide for Jiang Cheng's old age.

In addition, Jiang Cheng has not married yet, so in order to prevent his future wife from objecting to the child's adoption, they plan to find a willing wife for Jiang Cheng.

This kind of woman certainly doesn't want to be someone else's mother and help raise someone else's children right after getting married, so she has to find a girl with poor conditions.

What does it mean to have poor personal conditions, such as female educated youth?

In fact, there are two types of educated youth: one type has identity problems, and their entire family may be arranged to live in the countryside. The other type is educated youth who responded to the call and have no problems with their own or their family background.

Both were educated youth, but there was a big difference between them. The former might live in a shabby thatched house in a cowshed, while the latter might live in an educated youth dormitory. The houses were newly built and divided into male and female educated youth dormitories. There were also public kitchens and toilets. And the educated youth groups in the commune and the county paid great attention to and took care of them.

Therefore, Zhao Yuxia, as a mother, wanted to find a female educated youth with a bad status for Jiang Cheng if he came back. This way, she would definitely be willing to listen to their family's arrangements and would have no objection to adopting her nephew.
