Chapter 31 Fishing by the River (Please recommend and collect)
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Li Hongbin and his family came to Zhang An's house as guests.
I came here to pay New Year greetings to Zhang An and Zhang An’s parents, and I also brought the elderly at home with me.
In order to accompany the guests, Zhang An invited his second grandfather, second grandmother, and fourth grandfather. After all, there were no old people in his family, so he couldn't lose his courtesy. Only old people could talk to old people.
Zhou Lan should have taught him, and Li Yao kowtowed to Zhang An and Zhang An’s parents as soon as he came.
Zhang An took out the red envelope he had prepared and handed it to Li Yao, but he knew in his heart that according to the way Zhou Lan was able to treat his father obediently, it is estimated that Li Yao would only be able to fill the red envelope today and not have it when he gets back. .
When Li Yao was four or five years old, he was at the stage when people disliked dogs. As soon as he came, he went towards the three tigers lying in the courtyard.
He actually likes the big tiger the most, because among the three tigers, the big tiger is docile and obedient, the second tiger is a bit naughty, and the little tiger is a bit demonic.
Every time he played with the three dogs, the two tigers would run away when they saw him.
No matter how much trouble he made, Xiaohu would not pay attention to him, and Xiaohu would also act very scary, so the little guy would not bother Xiaohu at all.
Only the big tiger worked hard and never complained. Every time he played wildly with him, he even carried him around on his back.
No pain, no gain, and because of this, the little guy will bring some delicious things to Dahu every time he comes.
The ducks at home don't like this little guy either. Every time he is caught, his feathers are plucked. Fortunately, the ducks went out early today and have already gone to play on the river.
Li Hongbin’s parents are also from the mountains, so he chatted with his second grandfather and fourth grandfather very quickly.
The fourth grandfather took out the leaf tobacco he grew and shared it with a few people, and he was praised by Father Li.
Grandfather Four was very attentive in growing tobacco leaves. Not only would he visit them frequently, but he would also go to the street to buy oil residues for fertilization.
So we can collect a lot of tobacco leaves every year and sell them in the town.
The old people have their own circle. After Zhang An greeted the two old people, he did not let Zhang An accompany a group of old men and women.
On the contrary, it was Li Hongbin who took Zhang An to play in the river.
"Zhang An, let's go fishing. I've been craving for this river in your village for a long time. I brought all the fishing rods today."
Li Hongbin was a little excited. He didn't stay long the last few times he came here. This time he was going to stay at Zhang An's house for a whole day. It would definitely be a fun experience. They all said fishing is a romance for middle-aged men.
After the guy finished speaking, he went out and came back with a square box in his hand.
Zhang An opened it and took a look. Good guy, there are a lot of fishing rods, line sets, floats, bait, fish guards, and nets. Zhang An is not that enthusiastic about fishing, so he is not that familiar with it. But when I looked at the material, I knew that these things were not cheap, and I silently cursed the rich guy.
Zhang An took a look and realized that there was nothing he needed help with now. It would be better to accompany Li Hongbin to the river to play and kill some time.
"Okay, I'll go over and watch you fishing. I don't have a fishing rod here, so I usually lower my net."
Zhang An doesn't have a fishing rod at home. In the past, Zhang An only used to fish in the river. It is fished with bamboo poles tied with fishing lines.
The conditions at home do not allow spending money to buy these things.
"I have several fishing rods here, you can just take them over and use them."
That's right, Li Hongbin brought several fishing rods, "Wait for me then, I'll dig some bait . ”
“Oh, what kind of bait are you digging? Didn’t I bring any bait?”
"Hey, I'm still used to using earthworms."
Ignoring it, Li Hongbin took a hoe and dug in the vegetable field for a while, and got dozens of earthworms.
Zhang An also put earthworms into the space and soaked them in spring water. He didn't have any skills, so he couldn't be looked down upon by Li Hongbin later. As the saying goes, the rich rely on technology, and the poor rely on mutation.
The two of them carried their equipment and walked out of the courtyard. Li Yao stopped playing with the dog after seeing it, and wanted to follow them to the river to play. This was a place he had always wanted to go.
So Zhang An called Zhang Tie and asked Zhang Tie to look at this little guy later.
No reason, just because Li Yao listened to Zhang Tie especially, and what Zhang Tie said was more effective than what Zhou Lan said.
The two of them walked down the river bank and finally found a satisfactory fishing spot.
After putting down his things, Li Hongbin took out a small basin and started mixing bait. Zhang An thought he was a professional fisherman.
But the next process of throwing the rod made Zhang An laugh. This guy has learned everything, but his throwing ability is not very good. He has thrown the hook on the reeds several times.
"You should just laugh out loud. I'm afraid you're holding it in. I don't go out fishing often. I haven't been out for a long time. My hands are raw."
Li Hongbin looked at Zhang An's hair, which was holding back laughter. Red face, a little dark.
“Okay, okay, I actually don’t know how to fish, but I saw that you were so well prepared, and I thought you were very professional.”
“That’s right, we don’t have the skills. , so you don’t want to lose the equipment.”
Both of them are novices, and they don’t have much experience in making nests. They just throw the rod after hanging the bait.
Zhang An saw that Li Hongbin had already thrown two earthworms out, so he took out his earthworms, adjusted the weight casually, picked one out, hung it up, and threw it out.
"Are you really not considering using my bait? I spent a lot of money to buy this bait. I heard others say that this bait is very powerful in a place like this."
Li Hongbin looked at Zhang An Hanging Earthworm still asked.
"It's okay. We use earthworms a lot. We use them when we lower the net. We can also use them when fishing."
The two chatted while looking at the floats in the water.
After a while, Zhang An saw the float on his pole swinging up and down. When he came to his senses, the tail of the float had been pulled under the water.
At this time the fish took the bait. . .
Zhang An raised the pole and saw that the fish in the water was struggling quite fiercely. It was not a small fish, but it was not very big either.
Lift the pole and slowly reel in the line. After a while, the fish in the water were pulled ashore.
The fish is not big, grass carp weighing more than a pound.
The two little guys, Zhang Tie and Li Yao, quickly came over with buckets to fill it.
Li Hongbin watched Zhang An catch the fish in a short while, his eyes widened. After a while, he looked back at his rod, but there was no movement at all.
"You got a fish biting the hook so soon?"
Zhang An chuckled and said luck.
After hanging another earthworm, I threw the rod out, but it still landed at the original spot.
But not even a few minutes passed before the fish bobber began to fall again.
This time the force coming from the fishing rod was stronger than before. I reeled in the line and lifted the rod and caught the fish.
A crucian carp weighing more than two kilograms is not bad. Crucian carp has more spines, so many people don’t like it and they usually use it to make soup.
Such a big wild crucian carp is rare, because crucian carp grows very slowly, and can only grow to a maximum of about three pounds.
Of course, if Zhang An seizes the space to raise it, that would be a different story.
As soon as they arrived in the river, Zhang An connected his two rods, but Li Hongbin still had no fish.
But he didn’t expect that the fun would begin next.
Every time Zhang An just throws it out, a fish takes the bait after a while. Do the fish in this place also accept fish?
Do you bite like crazy when you see an acquaintance’s hook?
In half an hour, Zhang An had already caught seven or eight fish, each one bigger than the last.
Li Yao was still standing by and asked: "Dad, why are there no fish on your fishing rod?"
Li Hongbin was embarrassed. Are earthworms really so magical?
Fortunately, it also started to open. As soon as Li Yao finished asking, there was a fish biting the hook on his side.
The operation was as fierce as a tiger, and when I saw two, two, and five on the hook, it was a small crucian carp.
