As the couple chatted, they finally came to an agreement, which was that Qiao Xiazhi had indeed changed, but not a lot. At least his attitude towards his family had changed a lot, and that was a good thing.

Thinking about what her daughter had just said, Xu Li said:

"It seems that she also knows that it is wrong to lead Jasmine astray. If she can bring Jasmine back, then I can forgive her for what happened in the past. After all, we are a family."

Qiao Xiaoshan yawned and replied, "Well, let's see what happens first. Let's go. It's too late. I'm going to sleep first. I have to be busy all morning tomorrow. I should be done by the afternoon."

After finishing the spring planting, the time will be much more relaxed before the summer harvest. During this time, those who have time can go up the mountains or down to the river.

But it didn't take too long, just ten days or half a month.

After that, we will be busy with weeding, fertilizing, summer harvest and summer planting.

The next day, Qiao Dashan and his wife took Qiao Daguo and Qiao Dongzhi to work.

Today's task was not heavy, so Qiao Qiping and Zhu Shizhen did not go. Basically, the elderly in every household did not go to work today.

But they were not idle at home. Some went to the mountains, some went to the river, some dug wild vegetables, some broke bamboo shoots, some caught fish, and some caught eels.

Suddenly, the mountains and rivers became lively.

In the morning, Qiao Qiping and several cousins of the same generation chose a location in the river where there seemed to be more fish, and then blocked half of the river. When the water on the blocked side became shallow, it would be very convenient to fish in it in the afternoon.

"Let's all go fishing after dinner." Qiao Qiping said at the lunch table.

Qiao Xiazhi: "I'm not available these days, so I'll carry the bucket for you on the shore."

After agreeing on this, after lunch, the Qiao family carried buckets and bamboo winnowing baskets and went to the river.

In order to prevent others from slacking off, the people who were arranged to watch at noon have already started slacking off.

"How is it? Are there many fish in this area?" asked Qiao Qiping.

"It's OK. It shouldn't be a problem if each household gets three to five kilograms."

"There is a nest of yellow catfish in this area. It's not easy to touch. My hands have been pricked several times."

When they heard about the yellow croaker, Qiao Daguo and Qiao Erguo immediately became excited, "Leave it to us, we are the best at catching this thing."

At this time, Qiao Xiazhi looked at Zhu Shizhen and said, "Grandma, do we have quicklime at home?"

Before Zhu Shizhen could answer, Qiao Moli said, "I have that thing at home. What do you want to do with it?"

Qiao Xiazhi said, "Go get me a basin. I can use it. How long will it take you to get through this?"

Qiao Xiazhi remembered that when he was a child in the real world, he saw his grandmother and others go fishing in the river by blocking the water like they do now, and then sprinkle some quicklime on the blocked side. After that, the fish would jump up by themselves, and they only needed to use a bamboo dustpan to scoop them up.

If you really can't catch the fish, just pick it up after it chokes you unconscious.

When you have picked up most of the fish, remove the plug and the remaining fish will slowly recover.

However, the amount of lime must be controlled properly. If too much is added, the fish will easily die.

While Qiao Moli went back to get the lime powder, Qiao Xiazhi asked his eldest brother and others to move all the big rocks inside.

After a while, Qiao Moli came running over with quicklime.

"Here, the quicklime you wanted."

Qiao Xiazhi mixed lime with water in a bucket, then asked Qiao Daguo to pour the prepared lime water in, while the others got ready with bamboo dustpans.

After a while, the fish jumped up immediately due to being choked by the lime water, and everyone tried their best to scoop them up with bamboo winnowing baskets.

Everyone had a great time catching the fish as they watched them jump non-stop.

"Hahaha……"

"Come this way."

"This way."

"Hurry, hurry, hurry and fish it out."

“Lots of fish.”

"Xiazhi, bucket, bring the bucket, this bamboo dustpan is full, hurry up."

Qiao Xiazhi quickly handed over the bucket. Fang Mei poured the fish in the bamboo basket into the bucket and continued to fish.

However, the lime water also has a time limit. After a while, the fish stopped jumping, but they were also choked and passed out.

Then everyone started picking up.

It is much faster to pick up the fish than to touch it, because the fish is dizzy and lies motionless on the rock. You can just reach out and pick it up when you see it.

When you fish, the fish will run away, and you need to drive the fish into the bamboo winnowing basket before you can catch it.

After a while, the fish recovered and they had almost picked up all the fish.

The afternoon was almost over.

"Let's go, let's go, it's almost time, let's release the water and go home to divide the fish."

After that, grandpa and others started to release water. Once the water was released, the fish caught in the net were able to get fresh water and came back to life.
