Wei Youliang agreed and led the children to stand at a distance, eagerly watching Zhong Wanwan operate the machine.
In Wei Youliang's view, if Zhong Wanwan said she could use a tractor to help pull the fishing nets, then she definitely could. His trust in Zhong Wanwan had reached the point that if she pointed to a donkey by the roadside and said it was a horse, he would doubt whether he had called it wrong before.
But Brother Wei said somewhat uncertainly:
"Master Zhong, is this okay? Don't drag the tractor into the water!"
Zhong Wanwan explained:
"The tractor has been treated with anti-skid material, so there shouldn't be any problem!"
"Besides, how strong are those kids? They can't possibly keep up with these four tractors!"
That's true. A tractor can haul several thousand kilograms of cargo, and its strength is something these kids can't match!
Since he had never seen anyone do this before, Brother Wei was unsure of himself.
However, Master Zhong repairs tractors and knows much more than him. If she says it can be operated, then it must be fine.
Bai Yueyao and the other two, except for Tang Zihao, went over to help pull the fishing nets.
The other two were standing aside, waiting for Director Wei to beg them. This would not only highlight their importance, but also allow them to take the opportunity to make a request for a share of the fish.
The two had a great plan, but unexpectedly, a problem arose: Zhong Wanwan wanted to use a tractor to pull the fishing nets.
Knowing that Zhong Wanwan was the same person he was used to, Tang Zixuan's heart sank. It seemed that his idea of getting a share of the fish today was out of the question!
Bai Yueyao, however, failed to grasp the situation and scoffed:
"She's using a tractor to haul the fishing nets? Why doesn't she just say she'll use an airplane? She's got some nerve!"
"Brother Zixuan, let's wait here. If she doesn't work out, then Director Wei will have to beg us even more!"
Tang Zixuan didn't speak. He was now hoping that Zhong Wanwan wouldn't succeed. He nodded with a bad expression.
These two were destined to be disappointed, as Wei Erge and his companions quickly boarded the tractor.
Following Zhong Wanwan's instructions, Brother Wei tied the ropes to the four tractors.
Then, following Zhong Wanwan's instructions, the four tractors pulled the fishing net in the same direction, and the net was quickly pulled up by the tractors.
The hunting party cheered, and Brother Wei excitedly said:
"Dad, Uncle, this net is too big! Just this one net will weigh nearly 2,000 jin!"
Fortunately, the fishing nets at Hongxing Farm were made by Uncle Maisui, and they are quite sturdy; otherwise, they would have had a hard time supporting the weight of the net of fish!
Thanks to the help of the tractor, Wei Youliang and his children didn't have to come over at all.
Wei Youliang and the other child were naturally not dragged into the water, and the two children were spared the suffering of being put into the ice water and getting a fever from the cold.
Unlike in the original book, Wei Youliang's mental capacity was not reduced to that of a child under ten years old due to the severity of his fever.
The following nets also yielded huge catches, with the smallest net yielding nearly 1,000 jin (500 catties) and the largest nets yielding about the same as the previous net.
When the last net was pulled up, not only the hunting team but even the little kids standing by could see that there were many more fish.
Everyone was overjoyed, and Wei Youliang even imitated the quacking of a goose to express his excitement.
However, the little ones didn't forget their exchange with Zhong Wanwan, following behind the uncles and grandpas to pick up small fish and shrimp.
When he couldn't carry it all with his hands, he ran over to Wei Youliang and threw it into the sack that Zhong Wanwan had prepared.
To be honest, these small fish and shrimp may not seem like much when scattered around, but when put together, they actually make quite a lot.
