Although Zhang Xing caught fewer fish than Xiao Yunfei and the others, he still caught quite a few. Moreover, he was quite relaxed, catching fish for a while and then taking a break, and sometimes catching other fish for fun.
Clams, prawns, crabs... just catch whatever you come across, and be casual and free.
In contrast, Hu Dazhuang caught the least fish.
He tried very hard to catch fish, but he just couldn't catch as many as Wu Feng and the others.
But he has been fishing for so many years, he knows what he is like and has long been indifferent to it.
He is already very satisfied with himself for being able to catch so many fish with Wu Feng this year, and he is quite happy overall.
Xiao Yuhong picked up a wooden stick and stuck it into the pit to test its depth.
"Wow, this pit is so deep! It's almost full of fish. How many fish must have been caught?"
There was excitement in her tone as she continued.
"It's not even noon yet, and they've already caught so many fish. I can't imagine how many they'll catch if they keep fishing until night. Now we can eat as much fish as we want."
Zhang Feifei continued, "Yes, haha, our mother loves eating fish. Before, when we caught less, she was reluctant to eat more than a few bites. If she knew that Xiaowei and his friends caught so many fish today, she would definitely be very happy."
Chu Xiangxiang and her sister also chatted excitedly.
Chu Xiangxiang said, "Looking at this situation, your brother-in-law should be able to break the record today."
Chu Yunyun said, "My brother-in-law is really good at catching fish. Unlike my Hu Dazhuang, who works hard all day but still can't catch as many fish as my brother-in-law does in half a day."
"My brother-in-law isn't very good at fishing, but he has a good eye and is better at picking mountain products than any of us."
"That's right, haha. My Dazhuang also has his merits."
After they finished talking about their own families, they turned to Su Miaomiao.
Chu Xiangxiang said, "Brother Yunfei is also very good at catching fish, on par with your brother Feng from my family."
Chu Yunyun continued, "I didn't expect Brother Yunfei to be so powerful. After all these years, my brother-in-law has finally met a rival besides Yao Dazui."
Xiao Yuhong said, "Brother Zhang Xing is quite capable, you see he has caught quite a few too."
Zhang Feifei said, "Yeah, I saw his skinny arms and legs and thought he couldn't do it, but I didn't expect him to catch so many."
Su Miaomiao listened to them praising Xiao Yunfei and Zhang Xing, and her lips curled up happily.
It was still a long time before lunch, and several puddles were about to fill up, so she said.
"It's still early, and we're not in a rush to cook. How about we dig a puddle for each of them to catch some fish?"
Chu Xiangxiang had exactly the same idea, and she was the first to agree.
"Okay, I see the shovel is over there, I'll get it right away."
"Sister-in-law, I'll go with you!"
Almost instantly, the women took action and began digging the hole.
The soil by the river is soft, so digging the hole is not that tiring.
Soon the five of them had dug the pit.
At this moment, Xiao Yuhong put down the shovel, clapped her hands and said.
"The pit that Feifei dug is for Xiaowei and his brother, and I dug this one for Zhang Xing."
Su Miaomiao was originally thinking about digging two holes, but when she heard Xiao Yuhong's words, she instantly became happy, wiped the sweat off her forehead and said gratefully.
"Thank you, Yuhong. As Zhang Xing's sister-in-law, I'll thank you. You'll be the first to taste the dish when it's ready."
Xiao Yuhong immediately smiled and nodded.
"Okay, thank you sister-in-law!"
Soon they worked together to fill the five newly dug pits with water and told the children that they could also put fish in these five pits.
After doing all this, Xiao Yuhong asked.
"Sister Miaomiao, what should we do now? Do you want to go fishing in the river with them?"
Su Miaomiao said in a gentle tone.
"It's all right. I'll go prepare lunch. You can do whatever you want."
When Xiao Yuhong heard this, she looked at Su Miaomiao with bright eyes and asked.
"Sister-in-law, are you going to start cooking? Can I help?"
"sure."
"Then I won't go fishing. I want to help."
Even if she went down, she wouldn't be able to catch many fish, and her new clothes would get dirty. It would be better for her to help Su Miaomiao share some of the burden.
The other three people had the same idea as Xiao Yuhong and also expressed their willingness to prepare lunch with Su Miaomiao.
In this way, Su Miaomiao first led everyone to cut the meat and skewer it.
The reason was simple: Xiao Yunfei said before coming that he wanted to eat barbecue skewers in the wild, and she planned to satisfy him a little.
Chu Xiangxiang and the other three worked very efficiently and without much talk. They just did whatever they were told to do.
They chatted while working, feeling relaxed and comfortable.
All the necessary skewers were prepared. Su Miaomiao asked everyone what dishes they wanted to eat, and then assigned everyone tasks based on the dishes they wanted to eat, asking them to help prepare the side dishes.
To ensure the freshness of the fish, she plans to save it for last.
At this moment, they were preparing side dishes, and Zhang Xing came behind her without her knowing when.
"Sister-in-law, what do you think this is?"
Su Miaomiao put down the kitchen knife and took a closer look. It turned out to be a pearl the size of a peanut.
She asked in disbelief.
"Is this a pearl?"
"Well, I give it to you. You keep it, sister-in-law."
Zhang Xing was about to hand it to her. Su Miaomiao quickly wiped her hands on her apron and took the pearl.
This pearl is very full, with a bright and even luster, a regular and symmetrical shape, and a light pink glow in the sun.
Su Miaomiao asked excitedly.
"Where did this pearl come from?"
pearl?
Isn’t this thing called a mermaid pearl?
Maybe the name will change between now and in the future.
