Thinking that the ferocious fish still had some use, Wen Shishi's nosebleed stopped again, and the Song brothers felt a little better.
Finally, the eldest brother was held down by his younger brothers, who forced him to drink every last drop of the fish soup.
"you!"
The older brother was forced to drink a lot of soup, and he couldn't say a word while pointing at them.
The younger brothers, worried that their eldest brother would hold them accountable, ran away laughing.
After daybreak, the Song family courtyard was visited by fishermen and their wives one after another.
I heard a noise in the early morning and was about to get up and check, but after listening carefully for a while, the sound faded away...
Worried about coming over, the Song family felt embarrassed and woke everyone up...
When they arrived in the morning, no one came empty-handed.
Some carried a fish, some held a few clams, and some carried several oysters...
Wen Shishi was being held in her third brother's arms when fishermen and fisherwomen came over and asked the siblings what was going on...
Wen Shishi had already become familiar with them and answered the questions on her own initiative.
"I had a fever last night!"
"Oh dear! Poor thing, how are you feeling? Are you any better?"
"I'm all better! My sixth brother is amazing!"
"Okay! Let brother stew this fish, uh, to nourish Shishi's body!"
Song Chengxin helped take the fish and thanked the visitor with a smile.
The second person to immediately join the queue.
What's wrong with Shishi?
"I had a fever last night, but Sixth Brother is amazing, and my brothers took good care of me, so I'm all better now!"
"Wow! That's amazing! You'd better listen to your brother!"
Come on! Here, let the older brothers cook these purple shellfish for you, and you can play with the shells...
"Thank you, Uncle!"
"You're welcome! You have such a sweet tongue!"
Song Chengxin smiled and took the purple shell. He couldn't hold it in one hand, so he had to put Wen Shishi down and put the purple shell into the pool.
When the people who were bringing gifts came out, Song Chenghou politely declined, pointing to the small pond and laughing that he had enough to eat and that everyone should keep the rest.
But the fishermen and fishermen simply wouldn't listen, and skipped the greeting step, since they had already heard the people in front of them communicating.
They simply hold the seafood in their hands, or carry a net or bucket, and place it into the pool...
The aquatic creature fell in, creating a splash, and the existing fish thrashed about, making quite a scene.
"Oh my!"
Wen Shishi's eyes widened, and she clapped her hands repeatedly, extremely happy.
Those who came later, encouraged, quickened their pace, as if it were a harvest season...
Buckets and handfuls of seafood were poured in.
"That's enough, really enough, thank you everyone!"
The older brother tried to persuade him, but couldn't stop him at all.
"Really, thank you everyone, the pond is full!"
The fishermen and their wives paid no heed; they simply entered the yard, poured the contents into the pond, smiled, and turned to leave...
The last family to enter found that the water in the pool had overflowed and was being drained through the ditch; there simply wasn't enough room...
He walked up to Wen Shishi and asked her, "Shishi, do you have a water bucket at home?"
Wen Shishi thought they wanted to borrow a bucket, so she readily nodded, "Yes!"
He turned and ran into the house.
Song Chenghou, feeling embarrassed, explained, "My younger sister is still young, I'm sorry..."
The fishermen and their wives smiled warmly, "We genuinely came to visit; we weren't just being polite..."
With her small arms and legs, Wen Shishi staggered over carrying the wooden bucket. Her brothers wanted to help, but she refused...
"It's okay! I can do it!"
Her earnest and unpretentious demeanor brought smiles to everyone's faces.
Fishermen and fisherwomen put the fish in their hands into buckets.
Wen Shishi looked down and couldn't help but exclaim "Oh!" with a face full of joy.
"Look! They're so beautiful!"
It turned out that among the several palm-sized fish, two had golden lines covering their bodies.
It was just being held in the fisherwoman's hands, and because her body was blocking the light, no one noticed...
Now, when placed in water and illuminated by the light, its radiance shines through...
From its face to its body, parallel gold lines run throughout, shimmering in the sunlight.
The gold lines on the tail fin outline the shape of the fish's tail, making it particularly eye-catching.
Seeing how much Wen Shishi liked it, the fisherwoman smiled and explained, "I just overheard you telling the people in front that you have enough fish at home..."
However, we thought that you might not have seen or eaten this kind of small fish before.
They're not easy to catch often; we call them goldfish. Their flesh is very sweet, it should be just right for Shishi!
Hearing Wen Shishi's excited shouts, the Song family members all gathered around.
Upon seeing the shape of the small fish, everyone exclaimed in amazement, never expecting such beautiful little fish to exist.
As for what it tastes like, fishermen and their wives have tasted it, so it must be pretty good.
The Song family smiled and saw them off. Then they saw Wen Shishi tilting her head, staring at the little fish, looking thoughtful.
"Shishi, do you know what kind of fish it is now?"
Third Brother Song Chengxin asked with a smile. Second Brother, who was busy cleaning up the messy fish pond, and several other brothers who were helping stopped and waited for Wen Shishi to answer their questions.
"Golden thread fish, they are called golden thread fish."
