Chapter 222 Ran away in despair
“Big Yuyu, up again, up again!!”
Not long after the pole went down, Xiaoxia discovered it herself. He ran back with the fishing rod and cheered loudly.
With a crash, a large golden crucian carp was pulled out of the water, and the splash made the golden sunlight form a fleeting rainbow.
“Is this the novice aura?”
Lin Heng caught the fish in his hand and was extremely envious. This big golden crucian carp weighed over a pound and was the largest one so far this morning. Xiaoxia's small body could hardly pull it, but fortunately the fishing line was thick enough.
“I want to eat this big fish!”
Xiaoxia poked the body of the crucian carp with her finger and said in a sweet voice.
"Okay, okay, I'll make braised crucian carp for you when I go back."
Lin Heng nodded in agreement, put the fish in the bucket, and gave her an earthworm.
"I also caught a fish."
At this time, there was movement from Xiulan's side. Lin Heng looked up and saw that Xiulan had already excitedly flew a silver-white crucian carp directly out of the water and pulled it to ashore.
"Well, it seems that I have to rely on you two this morning. I am useless."
Lin Heng laughed and ran over to help get the fish and take the bait.
Actually, he knew it was easier to fish now that the nest was established, but saying so would make his wife and children happier.
And sometimes newbies have magical powers.
"Then watch carefully."
Xiulan blinked and realized the fun of fishing. I used to think people sitting by the river fishing were stupid, but now I feel really good about it.
In the next half hour, Xiulan pulled in five more crucian carp weighing nearly a pound each, one every five or six minutes, very stable.
Xiaoxia, on the other hand, only caught three fish. She had left the fishing rod by the river and ignored her. She was hungry and was sitting on a stone eating shrimp crackers.
Lin Heng also took a pack of biscuits, ate half of it himself, and fed the rest to Xiulan. It's already past twelve o'clock now, and I'm already starting to get hungry after setting out to eat in the morning.
Lin Heng counted the fish, and there were already 15 in total. The harvest this morning was not bad. He felt that his rice wine was very successful.
"Do you want to go back?" Lin Heng looked at Xiulan and asked.
The sun was hitting her face right now, and the fine hair on her forehead was covered with a layer of golden color. It was a little hot, and she took off her coat and wore a white turtleneck sweater, which covered her plump figure. Outlined, the whole person looks smart and graceful.
Lin Heng thought she was very beautiful looking attentive right now, especially her profile.
Hearing Lin Heng's words, Xiulan turned her head and looked at her, smiling and said: "It's nothing important. You can play until as long as you want."
"Then just play for a while longer. Well, it’s quite fun by the river.”
Lin Heng smiled and didn’t want to go home so early.
"Okay." Xiulan nodded and looked at the fishing rod again. The joy of harvest is also addictive.
It seems that it is difficult for the gods to catch fish at noon. Now I am not very good at fishing. I only catch a fish of half a catty every ten minutes. Occasionally, there will be a yellow bone on the hook.
During this period, Lin Heng did not fish. Instead, he leaned on the rocks and looked at the mountains and watched Xiulan fishing.
"Huh?"
Occasionally, Lin Heng glanced and noticed that the fishing rod Xiaoxia left on the shore seemed to be moving.
“No!”
Lin Heng shouted, got up and rushed forward.
With a snap, he stepped into the water and finally caught the fishing rod.
“Holy shit, it’s a big fish!”
As soon as the fish tank was caught, Lin Heng felt a strong pulling force and the fishing line buzzed.
"Can the fishing rod Xiaoxia left on the shore still catch fish?"
Xiulan was also stunned. Before she could react, Lin Heng had already rushed out.
"You can't say anything about fishing. I estimate that this fish must be at least five kilograms, so strong."
Lin Heng said while sliding the fish away. Fishing is so mysterious. Sometimes you can't say anything for a whole day, and the fishing rod is pulled away when you turn around to go to the toilet.
The fish are weak in winter, and the lines Lin Heng used are very thick, so the fish surfaced in a short time.
The fish was just as Lin Heng expected, it was a beautiful big carp, its scales glowed with gold and red under the sun.
“So beautiful!” Xiulan said in surprise.
"Super big fish!!" Xiaoxia danced with joy. If Xiulan hadn't been watching, she would have jumped into the water.
Lin Heng slipped away for another two minutes, pulled him to the side and directly grabbed his gills and lifted him to the shore.
Pressing the big carp, he said with a smile on his face: "This fish must weigh five kilograms, it is thirty or forty centimeters long, and two fingers can fit into the fish's mouth."
< br>"Then I made a lot of money fishing today."
Xiulan said in surprise.
Lin Heng also nodded repeatedly, looked at his daughter who was fishing with her little hands and said: "This carp caught by Xiaoxia, let her keep it for her birthday."
The fish his family eats during the New Year There is no shortage at all. There was already a carp, black fish and some yellow peppercorns in the fish pond. Now that we have got so many crucian carp, there is no shortage.
“Yes, this fish does have commemorative significance.” Xiulan had no objection to this.
With this pole-retracting fish, the three of them stopped fishing. There was little water in the bucket, and the big carp struggled wildly, splashing water.
Bringing the fish to the shop, Lin Heng looked at Wang Zhou and said, "Go get a basin quickly. We caught a big carp."
"Fishing?"
"I think you bought it, right? I don't believe that fishing can catch such a big one."
Some people around immediately looked over, a little unconvinced.
"Of course, my daughter caught what was caught in the river just now." Lin Heng said proudly.
Everyone looked at Xiulan and Xiaoxia walking over with a fishing rod, and they became even more disbelieving.
"Can this little girl catch such a big fish?"
"I'll definitely buy it. If she catches it, I'll eat shit."
"Yes, it's not shameful to buy it. It's for acting. He looks so good that his shoes get wet, he is so dedicated.”
Lin Heng was speechless. He just wished he didn’t have a mobile phone, otherwise he would have slapped these people in the face.
“It’s just jealousy. I pulled it up with my own hands and saw how nice the fish’s fur is.”
After saying that, Lin Heng went to share the joy with Uncle Gao very happily.
“I envy this lucky old man.”
Uncle Gao did not question Lin Heng’s statement at all. He believed that Lin Heng was a principled fisherman like him.
"I'm envious too, the novice aura is too scary, but luckily I caught it."
Lin Heng was so excited that he didn't feel anything even if his feet were cold.
"The little baby is amazing."
Uncle Gao praised Xiaoxia and looked at the big carp again.
Then he said: "Where is your nest? I'll try again."
Lin Heng knew that Uncle Gao's hands were itchy, so he took him to his On the way, he even invited him to his home to celebrate the New Year.
But Uncle Gao expressed his unwillingness to go up. If Lin Heng is willing, he can choose a time to come down to his house.
In this regard, Lin Heng could only say that he would find a time to come down, and there was no way to give an accurate time during the Chinese New Year.
Back at the shop, Lin Heng saw his elder brother looking at the big carp there. After chatting for a while, he loaded the things into the car, and finally put the fish into the bucket and covered it, taking Xiulan and Xiaoxia returned home first. Crucian carp and carp are not easy to die, especially in winter. They are still alive when they go back. Lin Heng put the carp into the fish pond, while the crucian carp was raised in a bucket and eaten during the Chinese New Year.
Asking Lin's father and others to help move things, Lin Heng went for another trip and picked up all his elder brothers and sisters-in-law.
"Soak some soybeans and make some tofu to eat during the New Year. Mom just said they will grind tofu tomorrow too."
Lin Heng entered the room and looked at Xiulan and said.
"Okay." Xiulan turned around and soaked ten pounds of soybeans.
The next day, these soybeans were made into tofu, half of them were normal tofu and half of them were mugwort tofu.
After making tofu at one o'clock at noon, Lin Heng finished his meal and sat comfortably in the yard to bask in the sun.
"The sun is not bad. I'm going to wash clothes at the river. Can you come?" Xiulan walked over with a bamboo basket and winked at him.
Lin Heng stretched out, touched her belly, and said with a smile: "Is it okay if I say not to go?"
"Of course not, then you have to follow me." Xiulan pursed her lips and smiled.
Lin Heng was naturally happy to go with her, so asking like this made him more important.
He stood up and said with a smile: "Then let's go, I'll go to Yoyo Xiongba and train the two puppies."
I went to find two ropes to tie the puppies. When you go out, if Xiongba is obedient, there is no need to tie him down.
"Dad, I want to pull the dog~"
When Xiaoxia saw Lin Heng pulling the puppy, she ran over and stretched out her little hand.
“It’s for the little wolf dog.” Lin Heng gave her the green wolf dog’s rope. This pup looked too much like a wolf.
Xiaoxia held it, and the little bastard rushed forward with a whimper, its ears dangled in a very cute way, and then Xiaoxia also let out a cheerful laugh.
Lin Heng locked the door and followed Xiu An to the river.
"Second brother, you guys are doing the laundry. I'll go there later."
Caiyun, who was reading in the courtyard of the old house, saw Lin Heng and Xiulan and said quickly.
After they waited for a while, Caiyun came over with a basket of clothes, touched the puppy Lin Heng was holding, and started talking to Xiulan.
A few people walked to the river talking and laughing. The slate river water was much smaller in winter and was extremely cold.
While Xiulan and the others were washing clothes, Lin Heng was training two puppies on the river bed, while Xiaoxia watched curiously.
Training must start from the most basic, you must first understand the instructions. Lin Heng took some dried meat as a reward.
“Sit down!”
Lin Heng gave the order. The two puppies looked confused and were still fighting with each other. Only Xiongba sat down obediently.
Lin Heng gave Xiongba a piece of dried meat, and then asked him to demonstrate it to the two puppies again. After repeating it for more than ten times, the two little guys sat down for the first time.
“There is such a big difference between dogs and dogs.”
Lin Heng shook his head. Smart dogs like Xiong Ba were too rare.
After practicing for half an hour and with Xiong Ba's demonstration, the two puppies understood the two most basic commands of sitting down and shaking hands.
During this period, two more people came to the washing place by the river. They were Tian Yan and Lin Hai who came to play. These two people were now very upright.
"Brother Lin, I caught two creek groupers!"
Lin Hai held up the two small fish in his hand to show off. If he caught two fish, it would be known to the world.
"Your skills are still too good, it depends on me."
Lin Heng smiled and ran to the river to perform.
In winter, fish are too cold to move and are not as active as in summer, so they are very easy to catch. Lin Heng caught three fish by touching two rocks.
"How about it, is it awesome?"
Lin Heng showed off the fish and said that in the village, he said that in terms of fishing skills, he was second and no one dared to say first.
"Brother Lin, your skills haven't deteriorated at all." Lin Hai laughed.
Xiu Lan, Tian Yan and others next to them watched the two competing like children, and they also found it amusing.
After touching two more times, Lin Heng couldn't hold it anymore. He shook his head and said, "No, the water is too cold. It's bone-chilling."
Caiyun raised his head and said with a smile: " Second brother, you know it’s cold, why don’t you hurry up and make a fire? My sister-in-law’s hands are all red from the cold.”
Lin Heng looked at her: “I guess you can’t hold on and want to warm yourself up?”< br>
"Then my sister-in-law also wants to bake, right, second sister-in-law!" Caiyun winked at Xiulan.
Xiulan smiled slightly and nodded in cooperation.
"Forget it, I'll light the fire. I have the lowest status and I know myself."
Lin Heng grinned, randomly got some firewood and started to light the fire.
Lin Heng also smiled and went to pick up some firewood. After a while, a fire was burning brightly, and Xiulan Caiyun came to warm his hands by the fire.
Boom!
At this time, there was a roar of motorcycles on the road in the village. Lin Heng and others looked up and recognized that Zhao Hu, Jin Hai, Liu Sheng and the others were back.
“Zhao Hu and the others, I don’t know if they have made any money out there.” Lin Hai looked at the three people on the road and said doubtfully.
"You can definitely make some money. If you don't make money, there won't be such a big fuss." Lin Heng smiled and said, going out is definitely much better than being in the village.
“That’s right.” Lin Hai felt a little nervous for no reason. He also wanted to make money.
Caiyun Xiulan heated up the fire for a while and washed the remaining clothes. Everyone played by the river for a while and then got up and went home.
As soon as they walked onto the road, several people saw Zhao Hu Jinhai walking towards them, obviously coming to show off.
“Jin Hai, come back.”
Jin Hai was stopped by his sister Jin Yan before he could go far.
“What are you doing, sister?”
Jin Hai asked impatiently. He still wanted to show off the money he had earned in the past six months.
Jin Yan glanced at Lin Heng in the distance and said to her brother: "Don't go out and embarrass yourself with the little money you have, go back quickly."
Jin Hai was unconvinced: "What? It’s so embarrassing. Why can’t I show off that I’ve made more than a thousand yuan in half a year?”
No one in the village can make so much money. Of course he wants everyone to know that he is rich.
Jin Yan shook her head and said: "I have more than 2,000 yuan just to dig a fish pond. I also bought a three-wheeled motorcycle a few days ago. Why are you showing off?"
"While... while riding a three-wheeled motorcycle!" Upon hearing this, Jin Hai couldn't help but stutter.
“Is it true?”
Zhao Hu, who had prepared all kinds of bragging rights, also stopped, turned his head and asked in disbelief.
They have seen a lot of the market outside, and they have naturally seen three-wheeled motorcycles. Even if they are second-hand, they cannot afford to buy them, so they can only watch them from a distance.
As for Lin Heng, even if he has a household worth ten thousand yuan, he digs fish ponds and opens a shop, how can he get so much money?
"I've seen it with my own eyes, how can it be fake?" Jin Yan looked at Jin Hai and said again, "A few days ago, someone driving a jeep came to his house in person, and they didn't know what they were talking about. Don't go asking for it. It’s a bitter taste.”
After hearing this, Jin Hai was like a deflated balloon, being pulled back by her sister.
Looking at Lin Heng who had arrived not far away, Zhao Hu looked embarrassed and turned back dejectedly.
“How could this happen!”
He couldn’t figure it out and decided to go back and investigate. This was too weird.
