Return to the small mountain village in 1983

Chapter 222 Ran away in despair
"Big fish, it's up again, it's up again!!"

Not long after the rod went down, Xiaoxia discovered it herself, pulled the fishing rod and ran back, cheering loudly.

With a crash, a large golden crucian carp was pulled out of the water, and the splash of water made the golden sunlight form a fleeting rainbow.

"Is this the novice halo?"

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 crucian carp's body 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 caught a fish too."

During this period, Lin Heng did not fish. Instead, he leaned on the rocks and looked at the mountains and watched Xiulan fishing.

"You can't say for sure when it comes to fishing. I estimate this fish must be at least five kilograms. It's quite strong."

Xiaoxia, on the other hand, only caught three fish. She had left her fishing rod by the river and ignored her. She was hungry and was sitting on a stone eating shrimp crackers.

In fact, he knew it was easier to fish now that the nest was established, but saying so would make his wife and children happier.

Fish are weak in winter, and the line Lin Heng used is very thick, so the fish surfaced in a short time.

His family has no shortage of fish to eat during the Chinese New Year. There was already a carp in the fish pond, as well as black fish and some yellow chili diced fish. Now that they have so many crucian carp, there is no shortage.

Xiulan blinked and realized the joy of fishing. I used to think people sitting by the river fishing were stupid, but now I feel really good about it.

The fish was just as Lin Heng expected, it was a beautiful big carp, its scales glowed with gold and red in the sunlight.

"Then I made a lot of money fishing today."

Xiulan said in surprise.

"Damn, what a big fish!"

Lin Heng smiled and didn't want to go home so early.

"Then watch carefully."

"Ok?"

Xiulan was also stunned. Before she could react, Lin Heng had already rushed out.

Lin Heng shouted, got up and rushed forward.

"Well, it looks like it's up to you two this morning. I'm useless."

He pressed the big carp with a smile on his face: "This fish must weigh five kilograms. It is thirty or forty centimeters long. Two fingers can fit into the fish's mouth."

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 eat it on her birthday."

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 the shore.

As soon as the fish tank was caught, Lin Heng felt a strong pulling force and the fishing line buzzed.

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 said as he fished. Fishing is so mysterious. Sometimes you can't say anything for a whole day, and the fishing rod is pulled away just as you turn around to go to the toilet.

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.

Lin Heng felt that she was very beautiful looking at her concentration right now, especially her profile.

Lin Heng laughed and ran over to help get the fish and take the bait along the way.

"Then let's play some more, it's quite fun by the river."

It seems that it is difficult for the gods to catch fish at noon. Now I am not very good at catching fish. I only catch a fish of half a catty every ten minutes, and occasionally there will be a yellow bone fish on the hook.

Hearing Lin Heng's words, Xiulan turned her head and looked at her, and said with a smile: "It's nothing important. You can play as long as you want."

Lin Heng slipped away for another two minutes, pulled him to the side and directly grabbed his cheeks and lifted him to the shore.

"Super big fish!!" Xiaoxia danced with joy. If Xiulan hadn't been watching, she would have jumped into the water.

In the next half hour, Xiulan pulled in five more crucian carp weighing nearly a pound, one every five or six minutes, which was very stable.

At this moment, the sun hit her face just right, and the fine hair on her forehead was covered with a layer of golden color. It was a bit hot, and she took off her coat and wore a white turtleneck sweater, which outlined her plump figure. It feels elegant.

"Okay." Xiulan nodded and looked at the fishing rod again. The joy of harvest is also addictive.

"not good!"

"So beautiful!" Xiulan said in surprise.

With a snap, he stepped into the water and finally caught the fishing rod.

"Can the fishing rod Xiaoxia left on the shore still catch fish?"

Occasionally, Lin Heng glanced and noticed that the fishing rod Xiaoxia left on the shore seemed to be moving.

And sometimes newbies have magical powers.

"Do you want to go back?" Lin Heng looked at Xiulan and asked.

"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.

After taking the fish to the shop, Lin Heng looked at Wang Zhou and said, "Go get a basin quickly. We caught a big carp."

"Caught?"

"I think you bought it, right? I don't believe you can catch such a big one while fishing."

Some people around him immediately looked over with some disbelief.

"Of course, what I caught in the river just now was caught by my daughter." Lin Heng said proudly.

When everyone saw Xiulan and Xiaoxia walking over with a fishing rod, they became even more disbelieving.

"Can this little girl catch such a big fish?"

"I'll definitely buy it. I'll eat shit if I catch it."

"Yes, it's not shameful to buy this. I even wet my shoes in order to act like one. You are so dedicated."

Lin Heng was speechless. Now he just wished he didn't have a mobile phone, otherwise he would slap these people in the face.

"It's just jealousy. I pulled it up with my own hands. Look at 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 halo is too scary. Fortunately, I held it back."

Lin Heng was so excited that he didn't feel anything even if his feet were cold.

"The little doll 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 home and invited him to celebrate the New Year at his home on the way.

But Uncle Gao expressed his unwillingness to go up. If Lin Heng wanted to, he could come down to his house at some time.

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, then returned home with Xiulan and Xiaoxia. . 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 Father Lin and the others to help move things, Lin Heng went on another trip and picked up all his elder brothers and sisters-in-law.

"Soak some soybeans and make some tofu for 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 which was normal tofu and half of which was 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 by the river. Would you like to go?" 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 that doesn't work, 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 little dogs."

I went to find two ropes to tie up the puppy and pull it out. If Xiongba obeyed, he didn't need to tie it up.

"Dad, I want to pull the dog~"

Xiaoxia saw Lin Heng holding the puppy and 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 squealing sound, its ears dangled in a very cute way, and then Xiaoxia also laughed happily.

Lin Heng locked the door and followed Xiu An to the river.

"Second brother, you are doing the laundry. I will go there later."

Caiyun, who was reading in the yard of his 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 pups 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.

"You're still too good at this. It's up to 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, isn't it awesome?"

Lin Heng showed off the fish and said that when it comes to fishing skills, in the village he said he was second and no one dared to say he was first.

"Brother Lin, your skills haven't deteriorated at all." Lin Hai laughed.

Next to them, Xiulan, Tian Yan and others watched the two competing like children and found it amusing.

After touching two more times, Lin Heng couldn't bear it any longer. He shook his head and said, "No, the water is too cold. It's bone-chilling."

Caiyun raised her head and said with a smile: "Second brother, if you know it's cold, why don't you light a fire quickly? 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?"

"Then my sister-in-law also wants to bake, right, second sister-in-law!" Caiyun winked at Xiulan.

Xiulan smiled slightly and nodded in agreement.

"Forget it, I'll light the fire. I'm the lowest status and I know myself."

Lin Heng grinned, got some firewood and started to light a 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.

Rumble!
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 wondered.

"You can definitely make some money. If you don't make any money, there won't be such a big fuss." Lin Heng said with a smile. Going out would definitely be much better than being in the village.

"That's right." Lin Hai felt a little nervous inexplicably. He also wanted to make money.

Caiyun Xiulan warmed 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 here."

Before Jin Hai could go far, he was stopped by his sister Jin Yan.

"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 as soon as possible."

Jin Hai was unconvinced: "What'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 could earn so much money. Of course he wanted everyone to know that he was rich.

Jin Yan shook her head and said, "I earned more than two thousand just to dig a fish pond. I even 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.

"seriously?"

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 can't afford them, so they can only watch them from a distance.

And even if Lin Heng has a household worth ten thousand yuan, he digs fish ponds and opens a shop. How did 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 hard to eat.”

After hearing this, Jin Hai felt like a deflated balloon being pulled back by her sister.

Zhao Hu looked at Lin Heng who had arrived not far away, looked embarrassed, and turned back dejectedly.

"how so!"

He couldn't figure it out and decided to go back and investigate. This was too weird.
