Wang Ye was playing in the yard with his younger brothers and sisters. The eldest son of Uncle Li’s family, Li Weiguo, the second youngest girl, Li Fengzhi, and the three sons of Uncle Liu’s family, Liu Long, Liu Hu, and Liu Bao, also joined in one after another.

Listening to the contemporary songs playing from the speakers on the street, Wang Ye knew it was six o'clock, because most homes now don't have clocks.Generally, there are two ways to estimate the time, one is to look at the sun, and the other is to listen to the broadcast on the loudspeaker.

After a while, Wang Tiezhu, Uncle Liu, and Grandpa Zhao returned to the courtyard together.The women of each family also called their children home for dinner.

In this day and age, no one would politely ask others to come over for a meal, because the food is all rationed, and if someone else eats an extra portion, it means someone in the family will be hungry.

Wang Tiezhu walked straight towards Xiaoxiao as soon as he entered the yard, turning a blind eye to his two sons: "My dear daughter, do you miss your father?"

Wang Ye looked at his father's face as if he were a daughter-in-law. If he hadn't been his biological father, he would have looked down upon him no matter what he said.

"Think about it, think about it!"

The little girl patted her belly as she spoke.Wang Ye didn't know if it had anything to do with his stomach.

Wang Tiezhu carried his daughter back to the main room, followed by Wang Ye and Wang Jianghe.Qin Wan has already put the rice on the table.Wang Tiezhu looked at the ten big steamed buns on the table and asked in surprise: "My dear, what kind of happy event is this? The food is so good?"

Qin Wan pulled Wang Tiezhu's sleeve: "Sit down first and I will tell you slowly."

Wang Ye and Wang Jianghe sat down and ate by themselves. Wang Ye didn't understand what was going on. He only ate three big steamed buns at noon, and he was so hungry after six o'clock.

Qin Wan whispered to her husband about her eldest son's great achievements today.Wang Tiezhu looked at Wang Ye in surprise: "Okay! The eldest son has grown up and knows that he can help reduce the burden on the family, but he must also pay attention to safety when going out."

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ away from home.It would be quite responsible if I could just tell you something.In the countryside, all young men of this age are already married.Wang Ye nodded and said nothing.

After the meal, the whole family went to the gate to enjoy the cool air.Wang Ye returned to the house by himself and continued to think about future plans.The short-term plan is to find a way to get more food at home. This family is all malnourished.

The mid-term plan is to find a job. The epidemic will start in a few years. By then, those without jobs will have to go to the mountains and countryside. People like Wang Ye who have no jobs and no registered residence are collectively called blind migrants. They will be deported by then. Think about this big family. If he is deported back to his hometown, he will not be able to come back for ten or eight years. By then, he will not be able to keep up with the heat of eating shit.

The long-term plan is to work hard for a happy life in the future. Learn from the predecessors who collected antiques and bought a few courtyard houses. After the 1990s, they became a wealthy generation.

Short-term planning is not difficult. If you have space, you just need to find a way to clean up the materials in the space.Medium-term planning is not easy. Wang Yejia doesn't have much background. If he wants to find a good job, he has to spend a lot of money to buy other people's indicators. This has to be random.

But it’s better to count on Wang Tiezhu. His salary can at most ensure that Wang Ye and his family will not starve to death.Long-term plan: Recalling the memory of the original owner, coupled with Wang Ye's knowledge, he sadly found that he was dumbfounded. He knew everything about antiques, but knew nothing about them.

Don’t even think about the courtyard house.Now they are all national assets. If you want to buy them, I ask if you are qualified?Not to mention the second generation, even a street office worker, he can't afford to offend him!

It’s so frustrating!Don’t think about it anymore, just let it happen!It’s better to think about how to get food.First of all, you must establish a personal profile for yourself, a fishing expert and a hunting master.These are the experiences summed up by our predecessors.These two characters are nothing more than three conditions, technology, equipment, and luck.

Technology is assisted by space. Wang Ye discovered that simple processing can be done in space. Things like wood can be compressed and changed in density, but not stone and metal.I don’t know if it will be possible in the future.

How can you say that luck is ethereal?All that's left is the equipment, just do it and find a way to make a set of magical fishing gear.

Wang Ye recalled the fishing gear from his previous life. It was so high-end, made of glass fiber and carbon fiber.If this thing could be produced, it would not be a problem to enter the Academy of Sciences.

“Besides, Wang Ye, a loser in his previous life, knows how much it costs at most. As for the craftsmanship, I can only guess.

Then we can only make fishing rods based on the existing conditions.What to use?It must be bamboo.Nowadays, most people use this kind of fishing rod, which is sold by supply and marketing cooperatives. The best one is the Lizhu fishing rod, which has three sections and four sections. Generally, three sections cost 3 yuan, and four sections cost 3.5 yuan. A pair of four sections is the best match.

This thing is not something that ordinary people can afford, and it also cannot highlight Wang Ye's difference.Besides, if you use the best fishing rod, you will be lucky if you can catch a fish weighing ten or eight pounds.When I came to the yard, I saw a bundle of moso bamboo piled in the corner. This thing is quite thick, with a diameter of more than ten centimeters and a length of more than ten meters. This was used to build sheds in previous years. Page (1/3)
