Wei Mo put the woven hat on the eldest sister's head. The eldest sister, who was focused on fishing, only then realized that Wei Mo was right next to her, and then touched the hat on her head.
"Big sister, it's hot, so I knitted you a straw hat."
Erjie, who was standing nearby, happened to see this and ran over. Wei Mo handed the straw hat to Erjie. Erjie seemed to be conflicted. If she put on the straw hat, the flower in her hair would be hidden. Wei Mo understood his older sister's thoughts.
"Getting a tan makes you look even uglier."
Wei Xiaomin glared at her younger brother, then obediently put on the straw hat.
Li Fu and the others standing nearby also wanted it, but they didn't dare to speak up.
The captain's return had no impact on the group; they continued doing what they were doing as usual.
Around noon, Wei Mo went to the willow thicket to collect all the traps, as he was leaving soon and didn't want to be discovered.
However, this time the harvest was quite good: a hen, three chickens, and three blue pheasants.
I guess it was paired with the previous male pheasant, so it's like the couple has been reunited.
Back in front of the dilapidated temple, Wei Mo told everyone to stop.
"Pack up your fishing rods, go home for dinner, pack everything up, hurry up!"
Wei Xiaomin and Wei Xiaohui happily handed the fishing rod to Wei Mo. The others were somewhat reluctant, but after all, it belonged to Wei Mo.
They dawdled and handed over their fishing rods.
Because of his long fishing rod, Li Fu had an advantage. After Wei Ma left, he caught two carp and three crucian carp, weighing about five or six pounds.
The Shan brothers were not bad either; after all, there were two of them, and they also harvested four or five kilograms.
Only Tian Boguang caught less than two pounds of fish.
Wei Mo took five crucian carp from the ones his sister had caught and gave them to Tian Xue.
"This is your reward for catching bugs! Here, it's yours."
Tian Xue and Tian Yue happily accepted the fish, and everyone was reluctant to leave, but Wei Mo said there was nothing they could do.
"Wei Mo, are you coming again this afternoon? If you are, I'll come find you after lunch."
Li Fu spoke up from the side, followed by the Shan Zhenhai brothers.
"Wei Mo, come again this afternoon. My brother and I are coming to see you too."
The three Tian siblings also clamored to go find Wei Mo.
Wei Mo frowned. How should they divide the fishing trip this afternoon? Would they object if they took too much? Maybe it's better to let them know the benefits of fishing rods first.
"Go and try it yourselves this afternoon, so you won't be unwilling to accept the fish later. I decide what kind of fish you catch. Only those who are willing can come with me. Think about it yourselves."
The children were just kids, after all, and they couldn't possibly understand these things. Wei Mo didn't care; if they couldn't understand, they could just go home and ask the adults.
Wei Mo didn't rush to leave. Instead, he waited until all the children had left, then called his two older sisters, put the fish basket into the water, and threw in some fish offal.
I caught five in a row, securing them all with transparent fishing line. I left a small stick on the bank, stuck it in the mud, and then covered the stick with thin mud, leaving only a small mound.
I washed my hands on the shore, picked up my fishing rod and the fish my sister had just caught, and ran home. My little bird, don't worry, I'm coming.
Since she wasn't at work, Wei's mother had already prepared dinner and was waiting for her child to come home. There were also many crucian carp drying in front of the door.
When the three siblings returned, Wei's mother took the broken fishing rod from the children's hands, and the eldest sister went into the house and threw the fish directly into the broken jar.
There was a burning smell in the room, and Wei Mo was very anxious when he smelled it.
"Mom, is it ready?"
Wei Xiaomin and Wei Xiaohui looked at their younger brother in confusion. What was that? What were you burning? It smelled so strong.
"It should be about ready, let me check."
After Wang Zhenhua finished speaking, he picked up a fire poker and started poking at the stove pit.
Seven black objects came out, and then they were picked up and gently tapped on the ground to remove the charred ash.
After removing the remaining feathers, the small bird meat inside was revealed, and a fragrant aroma wafted out, making the family of four swallow their saliva.
There were two large chickens and five small birds. The family squatted in front of the stove and started eating.
It smells so good! You can even chew on bird bones. The more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes.
It ate everything in no time, but afterwards its little hands and mouth turned black.
The whole family was licking their lips, seemingly savoring the moment. Wei Mo decided to continue that evening!
The Dragon King's secret could only be told to his mother, so after his two older sisters came into the house, Wei Mo threw all the little birds he had shot in the morning on the ground. He didn't need to eat dinner that night; eating the birds would be enough.
Wang Zhenhua glanced at it without saying a word. Without a doubt, it was the Dragon King appearing again!
The whole family had little interest in the sweet potatoes for lunch. Oh no, they've spoiled us with their tastes!
I've forgotten the agony of eating wild vegetable dumplings the day before yesterday! But I ate a lot of birds, so my stomach is almost full.
Wei Mo was still thinking about hunting birds, after all, he was still missing a pheasant to trade tomorrow! After eating, Wei Mo planned to go fishing at the dilapidated temple, and at the same time hunt birds and weave fish baskets, killing three birds with one stone!
"Big sister, older sister, I'm going to the river, do you want to come?"
Upon hearing that they were going to the river, Wei Xiaomin jumped off the kang (a heated brick bed), staring at her mother as if asking if she could go. After all, her two older sisters used to gather wild vegetables every day, but now that they had more fish than they could eat, who would eat wild vegetables?
"Go ahead, go ahead, you and your older sister go first, I need to talk to your younger brother about something."
Wei Mo was somewhat doubtful, but he still followed his mother's instructions. After his two older sisters went out, Wei's mother looked at Wei Mo.
"Son, can you contact the Dragon King?"
Upon hearing this question, Wei Mo hesitated for a moment before nodding.
"Is something the matter, Mom?"
Wei's mother seemed a little embarrassed to speak.
"Could you ask the Dragon King to get some cotton so I can make winter clothes for you? Last year it was so cold that you and your sister both fell seriously ill."
Wei's mother seemed to recall the scenes of her children being sick before, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Wei Mo initially thought Wang Zhenhua had become greedy, but he didn't expect it was still for the sake of his children. Wei Mo nodded.
"I'll ask when I see it."
Wei's mother nodded in satisfaction and said, "Okay."
Seeing that his mother had nothing else to do, Wei Mo quickly ran after his two older sisters, taking all the fishing rods with him. There were already six fishing rods, and they had developed some minor problems, so he could take them over to get them repaired.
Wei Mo kept his mother's words in mind and selected the cotton coat in the trading system. The cheapest one was only 12 yuan, but it was obviously not suitable to wear in this era.
Continuing my search in the trading system, I found a camel hair cotton-padded jacket for middle-aged and elderly people. Judging from the picture, it looked like a floral cotton-padded jacket, and it was only 17 yuan. However, there were no small sizes available; it was only for middle-aged and elderly people. I could buy it and have Wang Zhenhua alter it.
Buying a child's child separately would be much more expensive. But children of future generations are treasures, while children of this era are just grass.
I clicked to buy 4 items, all of them with small red plum blossoms. This is the most outdated thing Wei Mo has ever bought, but it's hard to say whether it still exists in this era.
I originally spent 80 yuan learning knitting skills, and had 36 yuan left. I sold two turtles and got 120 yuan. After buying clothes, I still had 88 yuan left. This number is good! Auspicious!
