Chapter 338: Ten-pound fish

No matter how chaotic Old Lady Lin's family is, it has nothing to do with Lin Zhen and Song Wei.

We fed all the animals at home early this morning. Wolf One and Wolf Two sent little Lin Ping'an to school. Song Wei and Lin Zhen spent the whole morning digging the pond.

Lin Zhen went to buy a water pipe and brought in fresh water from the nearest stream.

“Finally it’s done.”

As the water in the pool slowly filled up, they built a circle of pebbles around the pool.

nice.

“When do we plant lotus roots?”

"It's almost time, how about we go fishing first?"

During this period, Lin Zhen and Song Wei have been renovating the courtyard of their home and arranging the soft decoration inside the house, and have rarely been to the riverside or the mountains.

Now it's almost done, the temperature outside has dropped, and everyone has put on thick clothes.

Seeing that it was about to snow, Song Wei was a little worried whether the fish fry could survive.

"Or maybe we should wait until the snow melts before raising the fish."

Lin Zhen held up a homemade fishing rod and said, "It's no problem to fish now. We can catch big fish and keep them in this pond. When we want to eat them, we can just fish them out and eat them fresh. We don't have to go to the river to catch fish during the New Year."

Hearing his words, Song Wei's eyes lit up: "That's right, if we don't catch small fish, we can catch big fish!"

They set off without delay, carrying their backpacks and fishing rods to the river.

They greeted everyone they saw on the street with a smile, and some even asked them if they knew about Mrs. Lin's family.

"You don't know, Lin Youfu got into a tantrum yesterday, threatening to commit suicide, saying that the Lin family had treated him badly and wanted him dead."

Song Wei and Lin Zhen really didn't know about this. They didn't deliberately inquire about the affairs of Old Lady Lin's family. They only found out the news from the old ladies who were gossiping with Song Wei.

After what happened yesterday, I guess those old ladies haven’t had time to find her to eat melons yet.

"You don't know what Lin Youfu has become now. His legs are broken and he can't even walk. He has lost a lot of weight and his expression and eyes are scary."

There is no need to explain this, you can guess it.

After saying goodbye to the aunt, Song Weilin Zhen headed straight for the reed forest downstream of the river.

The road is a bit far, but there are not many people in the reed forest now, and there are many fish in it, so it is easy to fish.

Sitting still while fishing is a bit boring and a bit cold.

Song Wei couldn't sit still after waiting for more than twenty minutes without any fish being caught.

"I'm going to go into the reed forest and see if I can find any wild duck eggs or anything."

There are many wild ducks in the reed forest downstream of the Ping'an Brigade River.

Sometimes children like to come here to pick up wild duck eggs, but it is also dangerous in the reed forest.

You never know which puddle is deeper and if you step into it you will fall into the water. It is especially dangerous when you are alone.

Moreover, there are often snakes in such reed forests, and a bite from a poisonous snake can be very serious.

Therefore, parents also remind their children not to go to the reed forest to play by themselves.

Wild ducks are also aware of the dangers, so they naturally will not build nests and lay eggs in areas where humans frequently move around. They always build nests and lay eggs deep in the reed forest.

And in this season, most wild ducks fly south.

But if you're lucky, you might be able to find some late-laid eggs by wild ducks.

Song Wei held a wooden stick in his hand and walked among the reeds, poking here and there, making sure it was safe before moving on.

She is strong, but it doesn't matter how strong you are if you fall into the water. Although she can swim, it was so cold in the water that day that she didn't want to try.

Several wild duck nests were found, but no eggs were in them.

When I found the fifth one, my luck finally turned.

"Really? I'm lucky."

Song Wei took out the green duck eggs from the nest, there were four of them!

I don’t know which unlucky wild duck it belongs to.

In the end, Song Wei found eleven duck eggs.

Duck eggs are larger than chicken eggs and are also green in color.

But it doesn’t taste as good as eggs, and it has a strong fishy smell.

But wild duck eggs are suitable for making salted duck eggs.

Song Wei didn't know about this reed forest before. She always went to the mountains and seldom went to the river to catch fish. The reed forest was not native to the local area. The first time she knew about this place was last month when Aunt Xinghua gave her some salted duck eggs. She asked and found out about such a place.

After that, I asked Lin Zhen to take me here twice. At that time, the wild ducks had already started to migrate, and I didn't find many duck eggs, so I just fried them when I took them back.

There are even fewer to find now, and I only found these ten after searching for so long.

It's better than nothing.

"Did you catch any fish?"

Song Wei took a look into the bucket.

“Two big fish!”

She was so happy that her eyes curved. She put the duck eggs aside and sat down.

Lin Zhen: "One of them was caught by your rod."

Song Wei: "I'll do the next one myself."

Perhaps luck was on her side, for not long after Song Wei sat down, her fishing rod started moving.

Her eyes lit up and she quickly began to pull up.

The fishing rod is made of solid wood and is a bit heavy. The line is fishing line and is also strong.

This fish was a bit big, and Song Wei’s fishing rod was bent a little.

However, wood is not tough and heavy objects can easily break it.

Song Wei didn't even play with the fish, he just gathered strength in his arms and lifted it up.

With a snapping sound, the fishing rod in his hand broke into two pieces.

But the fish was also thrown ashore due to the powerful force.

It just...flew a little far.

Lin Zhen: …………

I've never seen fishing like this.

Song Wei held the broken wooden pole and said, "My fish!"

He got up and chased after him.

When she came back again, she had a smile on her face that she couldn't hide at all.

He was holding a big fish in his hand, which was as long as Lin Zhen's arm.

Fat and heavy.

"Lin Zhen, look at the big fish I caught. It must weigh ten kilograms!"

"It's three scales!"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Lin Zhen was also a little surprised. The fish was really big.

If Song Wei hadn't used brute force to pull the fish up at once, and had waited until the fish was exhausted before pulling it up, their broken fishing rod would probably have broken first.

At this time, Lin Zhen's fishing rod also moved.

He caught a crucian carp, about four pounds, which was considered big, but not as big as the one Song Wei pulled up.

"Let's go back and put the fish in the pond before it dies. We have to treat each other when we move. This big fish is great."

The guests were only those acquaintances, so Song Wei was willing to use this big fish to entertain the guests.

Lin Zhen nodded: "Okay, let's go."

They had originally wanted to gather some dry reeds to start a fire, but now they were afraid that the ten-pound fish would die, so they didn't care about the reeds.

A ten-pound fish cannot fit in the bucket alone, with its big tail sticking out.

It's quite energetic.

This thing can't cover anything at all, but it doesn't matter when it comes to fish. Everyone can fish in the river, and whoever catches the fish owns it, so there's no need to worry about them being divided up. At most, others will be jealous of you.

Except for things that were discovered and had to be shared away, or things that he wanted to keep a low profile, Song Wei was always open about the food he could eat and never hid anything.

Because even if someone is jealous, those petty calculations and petty thefts are nothing to her! This is the confidence that her strong strength brings her.

Song Wei's fish attracted a lot of attention on the way back.

"What a big fish! Where did you catch such a big fish?"

"Wow, I've been in this Ping An Brigade for half my life, and I've never seen such a big three-scaled fish. It must weigh ten kilograms!"

"I'll go wherever they catch me!"

This fish is so tempting, it weighs ten kilograms of meat.

Lin Zhen did not hide it: "I fished it over in the reed forest."

As soon as he finished speaking, some people immediately prepared to go fishing in the reed forest.

Of course, some people are jealous.

"Song Zhiqing is so lucky. She found a good man and caught such a big fish in our river."

In response, Song smiled and took Lin Zhen's arm: "Yeah, who wouldn't want my luck~"

I'm just trying to piss off all of you jealous people. If you have the guts, come and fight her!

I definitely wouldn't dare to fight, it's not like no one has experienced this before.

The fish were still alive when I brought them back and put them into the pond, and soon they began to swim leisurely in it.

Wild fish are quite resilient.

Any news can spread very quickly in the village, and the news that Lin Zhensongwei caught a big fish weighing about ten kilograms spread in a short time.

Compared with the miserable life of Old Lady Lin's family, Lin Zhen's life is thriving.

The jealous cricket said: "They live such a good life, but they only give three yuan a month for their grandparents' retirement, and only give them sweet potatoes as food. They are too stingy."

"I see there's more than just that big fish. There are three more fish, and although they don't weigh ten pounds, they're still not a small amount. Aren't you going to give one to Old Lady Lin and Old Man Lin?"

"Since you're so worried, why don't you go and tell me?"

If he dared to speak out, he would not just whisper behind others' backs.

How come he didn't catch such a big fish? Many people were thinking this, including Lin Laosi who got the news.

He also craves meat. It has been a long time since he last tasted meat.

But he didn't dare to go, so he went to pick up Lin Laoer.

Lin Laoer was carrying a hoe and working silently, ignoring him completely.

He now sees clearly that if he doesn't provoke Lin Zhen, he can still live in peace. But if he provokes him, he will be the only one who suffers.

He no longer expected to ease the relationship with Lin Zhen, and just treated them as strangers from now on.

Seeing that this man was like a blockhead and ignored him at all, Lin Laosi became furious.

Then he sent his children away.

For the sake of the child, Lin Zhen shouldn't be so ruthless.

In fact, Song Wei directly let two wolves guard the door, and Lin Laosi's children were scared and ran back before they could get close.

After school, Heidan ran to the backyard pond to look at the fish. He was shocked to see a big fish splashing water with its tail in the pond and screamed.

There were three fish in the pond. One was almost dead when he brought it back, so Lin Zhen quickly cleaned it up and cooked it for the table.

After eating, they sat in the yard and roasted some snacks over the charcoal fire, while Lin Ping'an, a little classmate, was working hard on his homework.

A furry free-range chicken fluttered out of the house and nearly set its own white feathers on fire.

Fortunately, Song Wei was quick and picked up the fat free-range chicken.

That’s right, this furry free-range chicken is the eagle cub.
