Love lasts a lifetime

The students were surprised to see how good He Yu was at mowing grass. How could someone who has been studying every day since he was a child do farm work so efficiently?

He Yu told them:"My family is very poor. In addition to studying, I have to do all kinds of farm work.

During the holidays, I have to go to the production team and do various farm work to earn work points. On Saturdays and Sundays, I chop wood in the mountains or go fishing."

"how? Is fishing also farm work?"A classmate asked

"Although it is not farm work, the fish you catch can be sold on the street for money"

"How many small fish can you catch at most? Who will you sell them to?"A classmate interjected

"Don't tell me, my father taught me my fishing skills.

When I was seven or eight years old, I followed my father to fish in the river, Dagouli and Ou Pond.

Not only did I learn to fish, but I could also use a sewing needle and hold the fishhook myself after burning it on fire."He Yu said

"Can you fish with all the hooks you hold? You are not Jiang Ziya fishing with a straight hook. Moreover, the fish you catch may be a blind fish that you will catch!"A classmate joked

"Don't underestimate the fishhook I hold. I caught a lot of fish, and they were all half a catty in size. I sold them for a lot of money. My textbooks and homework books were all bought with fishing money.

Once at a bend in the river outside the north gate, I caught a large pot of fish in the morning.

I happily took it to the street to sell it.

Some people saw that all my fish were half a catty in size, and they were still alive and fresh. They were quickly bought for a total of 50 cents."

"What does it cost to sell for five cents?"A classmate said

"At that time, an egg only cost one penny. Do you think five cents was worth it?"He Yu explained

"Be good! Then it means that you have been able to make money since you were a child." Xiaozhuang said

"Not to mention this, when I was in the third grade, my mother fell ill with a high fever and was bedridden.

But my father went to Luliang to help people drive pigs to sell, and the family didn’t have any money.

I went to the rice field ridge and cut a lot of young grass, tied it into handfuls, and carried it with a dung bag to Ma Cao Street to sell it.

The horse driver saw that my grass was tender and fresh, so he bought it all.

I cut grass three times in a row, and all of them were sold out at once.

I quickly used the money from the transaction to buy medicine for my mother. When my father got home the next day, my mother's illness was already cured."He Yu said

"how? You were only eight or nine years old at that time, and you were able to cut grass and sell it? I don't quite believe it. I'm afraid you are bragging and deceiving us, right?"A classmate said in disbelief.

"He didn't lie to you at all. I went to his house with my mother, and his parents told us about this." Xiaoqin added after listening on the top of the mountain

"It turns out that you and your mother have already been to his house, which shows that the two of you have already established an unusually close relationship.

So it’s no exaggeration to say that you two have been destined for a long time."

"No matter what you say, our two families have been in contact for a long time. Isn't this strange? This is an open secret."Xiaoqian said

"Our families both lived in Yiliang City, and we went to Luxi Normal University to study together. It's normal for classmates to come and go, so you don't have to make excuses and make exaggerated claims."After He Yu explained, he went on to say

"My family raised a horse to sell wheat noodles. When I was in second grade, I would come home from school every night and start cutting grass to feed the horse.

Unlike you, I'm afraid you have to lie to your parents about memorizing it in the second grade."He Yu said with a smile

"You're not very good at fishing, so why don't you go fishing and sell it to buy medicine for your mother to treat her illness, but why do you go to cut grass and sell it?"A classmate asked.

He Yu replied:"That fish is not something you can catch if you want to catch it for a long time. First, it depends on the season and the weather.

If it’s cold weather, or it’s windy or rainy, you won’t be able to go fishing."

"You turned out to be a fishing expert."

They said as they had cut the grass enough.

Everyone carried the grass on their backs and went back to complete the task.

Really:

He Yu showed off his skills in cutting grass, and then told his life experience.

At the age of eight, he could cut grass and sell it for money, and buy medicine to save his mother. The disease is cured.
