Although Wei Mo said he wouldn't interfere, he still gave an idea, and Li Dazhuang left excitedly.
I'm going to talk to the old village chief about this, since Wei Mo has already given us a plan, and we just need to follow Wei Mo's plan.
Wei Mo continued fishing by the river. The five children had a good catch, and looking at the fish strung up, Wei Mo felt that it was enough for both families to eat, and even more than enough.
However, the group was clearly intrigued and didn't want to leave, so Wei Mo had no choice but to stay and keep them company.
Not long after, Li Fu, Tian Boguang, Shan Zhenhai, Shan Zhenjiang, and a large group of others arrived at the riverbank and found Wei Mo. The children were chattering and calling out Wei Mo's name.
"Brother Wei Mo, can I fish for a while?"
"Wei Mo, can you make me a fishing rod too? I'll give you all the fish I catch."
"Brother Wei Mo, I want one too."
Because Li Fu was familiar with Wei Mo, he took the fishing rod from Wei Mo and said to him:
"Brother Wei Mo, I'll fish for a while too, and it's all yours after I'm done."
Wei Mo waved his hand, looking at such a large group, almost a dozen or so young boys, he was a little overwhelmed.
Now that all the children listen to him, as the eldest brother, he naturally has to take care of them.
Helpless, Wei Mo could only sit on the ground and begin making fishing rods for everyone.
He then instructed all the children to find wooden sticks. He took out fishing lines and hooks and began to tie them together to make a fishing line set. Then he found a wooden stick and tied it to the line to make a float.
After the children brought the sticks, Wei Mo tied a string to them. Since the children didn't have any earthworms yet, they borrowed a few from Wei Mo. Wei Mo didn't say anything, after all, it was just a few earthworms.
As each handmade fishing rod was completed, the shallows in front of the Dragon King Temple were filled with children with baby heads.
However, the children were unusually quiet, for fear of scaring the fish away. Whenever someone caught a fish, it would elicit cheers.
It was almost noon when Li Xiuxiu finally arrived. Seeing so many children, she couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. She walked over to Wei Mo and then called out to Wei Xiaomin and Wei Xiaohui:
"Xiaomin and Xiaohui, come home for dinner."
After Li Xiuxiu finished speaking, Wei Xiaomin and Wei Xiaohui turned around and saw Li Xiuxiu. Then Wei Xiaomin called out to Li Xiuxiu:
"Okay, Aunt Xiuxiu, we'll be right there."
The two quickly packed up their fishing rods and ran to Li Xiuxiu's side. Li Xiuxiu patted Wei Xiaomin and Wei Xiaohui's heads.
After looking around the riverbank, I saw the two sisters, Tian Yue and Tian Xue, but not Tian Boguang.
Tian Boguang arrived late and was quite far away when Li Xiuxiu called out to the two sisters:
"Xiaoyue and Xiaoxue, you two should hurry home too, your mother is still looking for you."
Tian Yue and Tian Xue reluctantly put away their fishing rods and walked towards Li Xiuxiu.
Just as Li Xiuxiu was about to leave with the children, Wei Xiaomin tugged at Li Xiuxiu's sleeve and said to her:
"Aunt Xiuxiu, we have so many fish!"
Li Xiuxiu realized what was happening. She slapped her forehead, walked to the shore, and lifted the rope on the fishing line. Good heavens, it weighed about 20 kilograms.
However, for Li Xiuxiu, carrying this little thing was no effort at all. She simply tossed it behind her back and carried it on her back, getting herself soaked.
However, she didn't mind. After carrying the fish on her back, she took her four children and headed home.
They hadn't gone far when Tian Xue, who was beside her, shouted at Tian Boguang, who was standing next to her:
"Brother, hurry home, Mom is looking for us."
Tian Boguang had already heard Li Xiuxiu call him "sister," and he was thinking of hiding and playing a little longer.
But his younger sister was calling him, so he had no choice but to reluctantly start reeling in his fishing rod.
At the same time, he was carrying several fish. Wei Mo glanced at the children on the riverbank, frowned, and shouted to everyone:
"Go home and have lunch, come back this afternoon. Otherwise, return the fishing rod to me and I won't lend it to you."
Hearing Wei Mo's shout, the children reluctantly put away their fishing rods and walked towards Wei Mo, some pleadingly saying:
"Brother Wei Mo, please let me fish a little longer, I haven't had enough yet."
"Brother Wei Mo, can I borrow this fishing rod for a few more days? I'll go home right now, just like you said."
A chorus of "Wei Mo!" rang out, giving Wei Mo a headache. He then shouted at the group of children in front of him:
"I can give you the fishing rod, but you have to be good. Go home and rest first, and we'll come together again in the afternoon. Don't go to the river alone. If I find any of you going to the river alone, I won't let you play with me anymore."
The children nodded happily and answered Wei Mo:
"Okay, Brother Wei Mo, we'll listen to you. We'll go back now and dig up some earthworms. We'll come back together this afternoon and visit you at your house."
Wei Mo had no objection to this. After seeing that there were no more children on the riverbank, he walked home with Li Xiuxiu and the others.
As soon as she entered the house, Qian Manman saw it. She stared intently at the fish on Li Xiuxiu's body. Qian Manman walked happily to Li Xiuxiu's side, took the fish from Li Xiuxiu's hands, and exclaimed:
"You've prepared so much! That's wonderful. I'll have a whole fish feast for everyone at noon today."
Just as Qian Manman was feeling happy, the two sisters, Tian Yue and Tian Xue, seemed to want to speak but didn't dare. Wei Mo, who had sharp eyes, noticed this and said to Qian Manman:
"Aunt Manman, take some fish out and bring them to Aunt Chunhua's house later. After all, Tian Yue and Tian Xue also helped out; they caught a lot of the fish here."
Qian Manman nodded upon hearing this, then untied the fishing line, went back into the house, took out a basin, and put about one-third of the fish into the basin.
Then he stepped forward and patted Tian Yue and Tian Xue on the head before speaking to them:
"Take the fish back with you and let your mother cook it for you."
Tian Xue and Tian Yue were overjoyed to hear this. They nodded and then carried the basin outside.
Tian Boguang had already gone home; after all, he had just been showing off several fish to Li Chunhua.
"Mom, look how many fish I caught! Aren't you amazing?"
Seeing her son showing off, Li Chunhua went over, patted his head, picked up the fish, and praised him:
"Amazing! My son is the best!"
Then she saw the two sisters, Tian Xue and Tian Yue, carrying a large basin as they walked in.
The fish in the basin continued to struggle, and occasionally one or two would jump out and fall to the ground, but the two sisters didn't pay any attention to them.
After all, there were more fish in the basin, and they could just go back and collect them when they got home. Upon seeing this, Li Chunhua immediately ran to the two sisters and praised them:
“My two daughters are amazing. Look how many fish they caught. They’re much better than your brother.”
Tian Boguang was saddened to hear this, but it was the truth. He looked at the fish that had fallen to the ground and quickly picked it up.
Then he heard his younger sister, Tian Yue, say to him:
"Brother, there are still many ahead. Several have fallen. Keep looking ahead."
Tian Boguang could only nod, then left his house. When he got to Wei Mo's house, he picked up five or six of them, wrapped them in his clothes, and headed home.
