Miao Xiuying was a person who could not sit still. She cracked some melon seeds in her mouth and gave some to Nian A-niang. She said in a disdainful way, "Having too many children is not good for women's health. Why do we need a 28-meter bicycle when we already have a son and a daughter? As long as the children are safe and healthy, we as parents can rest assured, right?

"If you have five children, most families can't afford to raise them. If they grow up, they will make the old man poor. My family is almost eating tree bark."

During the famine in the 1960s, you could still see people eating each other. If she hadn't been involved in the black market, she really wouldn't have been able to support several tall and strong sons.

They only see how strong Zhou Zhengjun is now, but have no idea how difficult it is for her to be a mother.

Nian A Niang thought about it and agreed. She propped her chin with one hand and said leisurely, "The kids have grown up and don't care about those things anymore. My sister has a boyfriend, and if she finds one for her brother, her father and I will have something to go to sea with."

Miao Xiuying came closer and asked quietly, "Sister, how much money can you make from pulling a boat to the purchasing station every day? Have you ever thought about going to the black market?"

When Nian A Niang heard this, she subconsciously looked around to make sure there were no other fishing boats around, then she lowered her voice and said, "Of course we'll go if we have good goods, otherwise it would be a loss to sell it to the purchasing station. Those people will see that you have a lot of goods and try to push the price down.

We fishermen also need to eat. It doesn’t matter if I get old, I still have to save some money to find a wife for my son!

What, do you have any ideas? The Red Guards are chasing us closely, so be careful when you go there, or you will lose both your money and your life, and you will have to spend a few days in jail."

Miao Xiuying spoke ambiguously: "If there is goods, we will go. If there is no goods, forget it. My son is an officer, and I am afraid that he will be caught and punished."

Nian A Niang said with a serious expression: "Then you'd better not go. Those with a keen sense of smell are like a dog's nose. Several of them were caught on our fishing boat.

Little Red Soldier Zhang went door to door to warn people, and now everyone is quiet and no one dares to show up.

Miao Xiuying learned a lot from her, and she also thought of a way to deal with the situation.

Humph, you have a plan, but I have a ladder. If you want to make money, nothing is easy.

The fishing boat sailed for a while. Jiang Yan was bored as he looked at the sparkling sea. Then he saw something silver flashing.

She looked closely and stood up involuntarily. Her eyes gradually widened and she said in a trembling voice, "Hairtails, schools of hairtails."

Her loud voice attracted the attention of everyone on the deck, including A'die who was driving the boat. He asked A'niang to steer the boat and rushed out with the net in hand as if he was picking up money.

It was only when Nian A'niang drove the boat to chase after them that everyone saw the school of fish that Jiang Yan had mentioned. Wow, it almost blinded the titanium dog's eyes.

Under the sunlight, the sea surface is sparkling with countless silver lights. If you have trypophobia, it will make your scalp tingle.

Nian Adie's hands were shaking with excitement. He had been going to sea for so many years, but he had never seen such a large number of cutlassfish.

The hairtail is chasing after edible hair shrimp and octopus.

It happened so quickly that before Father Nian had time to think, he threw the net out. The fishing net spread out and caught the fish.

Jiang Yan quickly cast the net she brought with her. After catching the fish, she looked at the struggling fish, and Miao Xiuying pulled with her.

Her heart was pounding so hard that it was about to jump out of her chest. She looked at Lu Jianguo who was standing there in a daze and called out, "Old Lu, come and help me quickly. This fish is too heavy. Why are you standing there in a daze? You are going to die!"

The Nian family’s fishing boat is not small and can carry several thousand kilograms of fish. Jiang Yan caught a lot with this net.

Lu Jianguo reacted when he was called. He grabbed the fishing net, and Lu Li and Lu Yan also came to help.

Miao Xiuying shouted: "One, two, three, get up, one, two, three, get up."

Several people were pulling with their buttocks sticking out, sweating profusely. Nian A Niang was so excited watching this that her voice was trembling a little, "How many pounds are there? It seems that you can hardly pull it up. My God, I have never seen such a huge school of hairtails.

That silver light almost blinded me. Lao Miao, you guys are rich now. If we send this boat to the purchasing station today, we can sell it for a lot of money."

She was skeptical about what A-mei said, but now that she has seen it with her own eyes, she believes it. Jiang Yan is really lucky.

Otherwise, how could they see this school of hairtail? It would be great if they could catch a few when they go out to sea.

These densely packed people in groups are no joke. If we pull them back, I wonder how many people will be envious to death.

The main hairtails live in the middle and lower water layers of the open sea and have migratory habits. They only come out at night and rarely appear during the day.

Everyone used all their strength and finally caught the 200-pound hairtail.

The silvery-white hairtail has a laterally flattened body like a ribbon, a smooth and scaleless body surface, a long tail fin, and short and pointed pectoral fins in light gray.

Breeding is not popular nowadays, and what is caught in the net are all wild ones. You can sell them at a good price at a purchasing station.

Nian Adie's hand-cast net was even bigger, and he caught about 400 kilograms. He was so happy that he almost jumped up, "Come and help me, if you don't pull it, the hairtail will jump out."

Before everyone could recover, they were busy pulling the net. Nian A'mei was almost exhausted from pulling.

Miao Xiuying's eyes were full of excitement, as if she had seen money. "Hurry up, there are more fish in this net. Oh my God, we are going to get rich! How much do so many fish sell for?"

Lu Jianguo panted and said, "You only care about money."

Miao Xiuying asked back: "How can you compare with money if you don't have money?"

In her heart, besides Jiang Yan, money is the most important thing.

Jiang Yan, on the other hand, was thinking about how to eat hairtail fish. It could be made into hairtail fish with pickled pepper, braised hairtail fish, or pan-fried hairtail fish.

Hiss, just thinking about it, she couldn't help but drool. Hairtail is nutritious, the meat is tender, and it melts in the mouth when cooked well. I wonder how delicious it tastes!
