Chapter 437 Shaved Ice and Fish Collection

The little wild donkey was overjoyed to finally eat the fish it had been longing for.

It tilted its head and rubbed against Lu Fangfang's arm again.

"Just try it, don't steal any, there are a lot of bones in this fish."

Lu Fangfang rubbed the donkey's head helplessly, then carefully walked into the riverbed.

The other little ones had all gone to grill fish, leaving only Daya and Daniu picking up small shrimp in the frozen pit. She slowly walked over and picked them up as well.

"Sis, come pick them up here, there are lots of fish and shrimp here."

Xiuxiu stood on the ice and chiseled out another large ice hole.

Below is a large, deep pit, with more fish and shrimp than in the previous area.

Lu Fangfang stood up and glanced at it, then quickly called out to Da Ya and Da Niu and went over.

"Sis, look how big this fish is! It must weigh over a pound, right?"

Xiuxiu held up a frozen fish, full of excitement.

"It must weigh more than a pound."

Lu Fangfang was taken aback.

She had lived here for more than half a year and had never seen such a big fish in the river. She thought there were no big fish in the river.

Calling to Daya and Daniu, the group squatted down in the ice cave and quickly picked up the small shrimp.

Many of the small fish and shrimp in the ice hole were frozen together, and Xiuxiu used a pickaxe to pry them out.

With Xiuxiu's help, the group quickly collected a small basin of shrimp and a dozen or so fish weighing about a pound each. It was practically a huge fishpond.

"Sis, if you're not feeling well, stop picking them up. Go get something else and pack the frozen fish in. We'll take it home for Xiaohua and the little Tibetan fox to eat."

"Okay, then take your time picking them up. If you get cold, go warm yourself by the fire."

Lu Fangfang climbed out, supporting herself on the ice.

She casually grabbed a few fish and went back to the fish farm.

She threw the fish into the water to soak for a while, looked around, and then took a burlap sack that she had used to hold grass seeds before, and went to the river.

"Sister, don't come down, pick it up on the shore."

Xiuxiu called out, then bent down, picked up the frozen fish, and threw it onto the shore.

Lu Fangfang opened the burlap sack and started picking out frozen fish from inside, quickly filling it to about half full.

She was having a great time collecting fish and was getting excited. Just as she was thinking of asking Xiuxiu to throw in more, she heard a car horn behind her.

"Beep beep".

Lu Fangfang looked back and saw that the regiment's jeep was parked at the entrance of the breeding farm, and Comrade Wen Hui had already gotten out of the car.
