Chapter 52: Fishing
The warm and welcoming atmosphere in the morning soon came to an end as the village chief asked them to gather at the square and today’s activities were about to begin!
So, the program crew won’t be so kind as to let them have a comfortable vacation!
When taking care of a child, you naturally have to act like a parent.
"Brother, the village chief asked us to gather at the square!"
"It's too sunny outside, wear a hat!"
"Li Li is not afraid of the sun!"
"Even if you are not afraid of the sun, you should wear a hat, otherwise Li Li will be tanned like a little black cat!"
"No way, Li Li won't get tanned by the sun!"
Finally, Li Li put on the hat that Lu Qingsong prepared for him. This might be what Auntie meant when she said that male stars should take care of their faces!
Lu Qingsong applied three layers of sunscreen inside and outside. The three siblings wore the same sun hat. If they walked on the street, they would definitely get people turning their heads.
Li Li was a little excited and walked in front, skipping and jumping.
"Brother, are we going to play games?"
"Yes, we are going to start playing games today!"
Feeling the scorching sun, Lu Qingsong only hoped that the program crew could be more conscientious and not target the games at parents like them, which would really be a death sentence!
Soon, the three siblings arrived at the square, where the village chief Yang Bin was already waiting.
Looking around, they seemed to be the first group of guests to arrive at the destination.
"Good morning, Village Chief!"
"Good morning, village chief uncle!"
"Good morning, little ones!"
After a while, the remaining guests arrived one after another. When Yang Bin saw that all the guests had arrived, he clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention.
"My dear children, we meet again..."
After a lot of official talk, we finally got to the point.
"The program team will now assign everyone a task. This task is about the food you prepare for lunch. We hope that parents and children will actively complete the task!"
"Our mission today is to have a fishing competition!"
"Fishing contest?"
Meng Guanhe frowned and asked, "Where can we go to catch fish? It can't be in the river, right?"
"Village Chief, where can we go to catch fish?"
"Catching fish?" Lin Jiashu frowned. "Village Chief, you must be wrong. It should be fishing, right?"
The village chief curled his lips and shook his head with a smile.
"You heard it right, we were catching fish. There is a rice field behind the square. When the rice was planted, the villagers released a lot of fish fry. After the rice was harvested, they didn't have time to deal with the big fish in the rice field. So, the place where you caught fish is in the rice field!"
Raising fish on the surface of rice fields can not only produce fish products, but also allow the fish to eat pests and weeds in the rice fields, excrete feces, and turn the soil to promote fertilizer decomposition, creating good conditions for rice growth. Generally, it can increase rice production by about 10%.
This method is very popular in the south. For people in the village, raising fish in rice fields is also a very important harvest!
"Don't worry, no matter how many fish you catch from the rice fields, the program crew will buy them from the villagers at the market price!"
“So, don’t worry about the program crew getting something for free.”
"The more fish you catch, the better your lunch will be!"
"real?"
Zhou Xiyan's eyes lit up. The more fish he caught, the better the food. This was possible.
The water in the rice fields is shallow, and the fish are raised by the villagers, so the fish must be big, so catching them shouldn’t be too difficult!
"Of course it's true, but there is a time limit for catching fish. You only have 20 minutes. Within 20 minutes, the group that catches the most fish will be ranked higher and get better food!"
Looking at the guests who were ready to go, the village chief waved his hand and led the troops to the rice fields at the back. Their fishing competition was about to begin!
When we arrived at the destination and saw the vast rice fields, everyone was stunned. We had never expected that there would be such a large rice field here.
There is no rice left in the rice field, presumably it has been harvested. There are only fish fry put into the field when the rice was first planted. After a few months of growth, they have grown into big fat fish!
The production team thoughtfully prepared gloves, boots, and a backpack filled with fish for them.
"Okay, I'll give you five minutes to get ready. It's 8:55 now. The fishing competition will start at 9 o'clock!"
Li Li was very excited. She had never experienced this kind of activity before. She also wanted to catch fish!
"no!"
Lu Qingsong shook his head, "You are still young, you can't go into the water!"
Although the water in the rice field was not very deep, it was still too dangerous for a three-year-old girl. She was afraid that once she went in, she would get stuck in the mud!
Li Li pouted unhappily, "Stop looking down on me, Li Li is very good, Li Li wants to catch fish!"
"Li Li, you just stand on the shore with Brother Xiao Yan and help him get the fish basket. I'll throw the fish into the basket after I catch them. You can't go into the paddy fields!"
"don't want!"
Li Li pouted, looking unhappy. She was obviously the best, so why didn't Brother Song let her go into the water? He must be afraid that she was better than him, huh!
Seeing the unhappy look on the young guy's face, Lu Qingsong really had a headache. If the young guy became stubborn, it would be very difficult to correct him. There was really no other way!
"Do you really want to get in the water?"
Li Li nodded and said softly, "Li Li wants to help brother catch fish!"
Lu Qingsong's heart softened. His sister insisted on going into the water just to help him, but the rice fields were too dangerous. He thought for a moment and said, "You can go into the water, but you can't leave the shore. Xiaoyan, you watch over Li Li and can't let her leave the shore!"
"Know!"
The two brothers were helpless in dealing with Yu Li Li's stubbornness. They were reluctant to talk to her or hit her, so what else could they do? They could only compromise within a certain range!
Lin Jiashu had already put on his boots and gloves, rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the rice fields.
It’s just catching fish. He lived in the countryside for a period of time when he was a child, and he did catch fish, but at that time he caught fish in the river. Now it should be easier to catch fish in the rice fields!
Nan Nan followed her father obediently. She clenched her little fists and said that she would try her best to support her father. Her father is the best!
"Nannan, don't get too close to the shore. Watch the fish basket. Dad will go down to catch fish and put them in Nannan's fish basket!"
Nan Nan nodded vigorously, her face flushed, "Nan Nan must take good care of the fish basket, come on Dad!"
Then he added, "Dad, it doesn't matter if you lose. In Nan Nan's heart, Dad is the best!"
Lin Jiashu was deeply moved by these words.
His daughter is a little angel, so heartwarming.
Woo woo woo, he must give Nan Nan the best in the world!
