Watching Ye Jun's retreating figure, Fu Wan could tell that he was eager to go back.
"I never expected Brother Ajun to take raising chickens so seriously!"
Speaking of this, Ye Lin couldn't help but smile.
“He now devotes all his energy to the chickens and ducks at the chicken farm. When Amin came over a while ago, he gave him the phone number of the county slaughterhouse.”
Ah Jun called and asked, and they said that once these chickens and ducks weigh about five pounds, they can be sent to the slaughterhouse.
So Ye Jun now spends all his time raising chickens, ducks and geese, afraid that if they don't eat enough, it will affect the quality of the chickens and geese he sells.
Fu Wan understood immediately. She also knew that Fu Ming had given the phone to Ye Jun; she had asked Fu San about it herself.
However, seeing Ye Jun's current ambitious appearance, Fu Wan was also happy for Ye Jianguo.
“Great. After the New Year, we’ll go to town and get a batch of piglets to raise. Brother Lin, just you wait and see. Brother Jun is sure to make a lot of money.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Lin laughed.
"If they really make a lot of money, then I'll be at ease."
As the eldest brother, Ye Jun grew up following in Ye Lin's footsteps. Although they had disagreements after starting their own families, Ye Lin still hoped that his younger brother could live a good life.
"Brother Lin, believe me. In this day and age, people who work hard will not have a bad life."
Fu Wan took the fishing net from Ye Lin's hand and then looked at the water.
Because it hadn't rained recently, the river water wasn't very murky. Plus, the sky was clear and blue, giving the river a light, pale blue hue.
At first glance, it looks like seawater.
"Brother Lin, how long have you been fishing in these waters?"
Fu Wan walked forward with the fishing net in her hand. The grass was wet, and judging from Ye Lin's appearance, he must have been there for quite some time.
"It's probably been about an hour!"
Ye Lin didn't have a watch, so he could only roughly estimate the time.
Fu Ming followed with his fishing net. He rarely fished by the river, but this time he was just trying his luck.
"May the Goddess Mazu bless us, let us catch a big fish to take home!"
Fu Ming gave a soft shout, which made Ye Lin chuckle.
They live far from the sea, so fewer people here believe in Mazu, and more people believe in Bodhisattvas.
However, having faith is better than having no faith.
Thinking this, the next second, a white figure suddenly jumped out of the water and then quickly fell back down.
This commotion immediately attracted the attention of Fu Wan and the others.
"Wow, there really is a big fish! Mazu is truly amazing!"
Fu Ming hurriedly pulled back the fishing net and ran towards it. Then, near the ripples on the water, he forcefully threw the fishing net out of his hand.
Seeing this, Fu Wan was not to be outdone. However, she did not stay by Fu Ming's side, but instead went to the point upstream from Fu Ming and casually picked a lot of tender grass from the riverbank and threw it into the water.
These aquatic plants are also one of the fish's foods.
Four or five minutes later, the grass floating on the river surface stirred, and ripples appeared on the water. Fu Wan then chose a spot and cast her fishing net.
"Huh? Something's not right!"
The fishing net had only been thrown out for less than two minutes when the line in Fu Wan's hand was immediately pulled taut.
Seeing this, Ye Lin immediately stopped smiling and came over to help. Sometimes it really is that strange. He and Ye Jun had been searching for more than an hour, but they still hadn't seen a trace of the big fish.
Not to mention the sound of fish jumping out of the water just now.
"Hey, I really do have fish here!"
At this moment, Fu Ming began to pull his fishing net back. With a slight pull, the water made a splashing sound.
Meanwhile, Ye Lin gripped the rope of the fishing net and pulled desperately toward the shore. The fish in the net immediately sensed the danger, and the splashes of water from their struggles even sprayed Ye Lin and Fu Wan's faces.
"I have two bighead carp here!"
Fu Ming's overjoyed voice rang out, but Ye Lin didn't even have time to take his eyes off the fishing net in his hand.
Fu Wan only glanced at the commotion on Fu Ming's side before the immense force in her hand brought her back to her senses.
"Splash!"
A huge splash of water erupted instantly. Fu Wan was alright because she was farther away, but Ye Lin, who was at the very front, was drenched by the river.
However, he didn't mind at all; instead, he burst into excited laughter.
"Hahaha, it's a grass carp, a big grass carp!"
"Ah Wan, we have to hurry, or it will get away!"
After Ye Lin finished speaking, he began to grit his teeth and strain again.
Because they were standing on the shore, they couldn't get a good grip on the fishing net ropes.
Seeing this, Fu Ming didn't even have time to untangle the fish in his own net. He simply threw the net and the fish aside and joined Fu Wan's side.
When Ye Lin saw Fu Ming coming over, he simply handed the rope to Fu Ming and took off his shoes and jumped into the water.
"Brother Lin, there's that fish over there!"
Fu Wan nodded in that direction, and Ye Lin also saw the fish's back protruding from the water, so he immediately approached quietly.
The closer you get, the bigger the fish becomes. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's a piglet that's only a little over a month old. It weighs more than ten pounds.
No wonder they'd been pulling for ages and the net had only moved a little bit.
As the old saying goes, "like a fish in water," meaning that a fish is at least two or three times stronger in water than on land.
Just as Fu Ming and Fu Wan had finally managed to pull the fishing net forward a bit, the fish suddenly started to struggle violently, as if it was about to break free of the net.
Fu Ming and Fu Wan's hearts jumped into their throats. In the blink of an eye, Ye Lin pounced on them with a powerful lunge.
Then he held the struggling bluefish tightly in his arms and wouldn't let go.
"Brother, pull it! Pull it now! Brother Lin's face is about to be swollen from being hit by the fish tail!"
In this situation, Fu Wan couldn't help but laugh. Ye Lin was truly willing to risk his life for the fish.
With such a big fish, it's no wonder Ye Lin was so excited.
With someone holding the big bluefish, even if the big bluefish wanted to struggle, it would be in vain.
Ye Lin carried the big bluefish ashore, but the fishing net was still quite heavy.
Fu Wan and Fu Ming immediately gritted their teeth and pulled hard, and with Ye Lin's help, the fishing net was finally pulled out of the water.
"Hey, there's another fish in the net!"
Although it wasn't as big as that big bluefish, it still looked to weigh about five or six pounds.
Fu Wan thought to herself, no wonder she had been arguing with Ye Lin for so long, it turns out there was more than one bluefish.
This giant bluefish even brought along some underlings!
After finally managing to drag the fish and net onto the grass, Fu Wan and the others were exhausted and collapsed onto the lawn, panting heavily.
"Ah Wan, you really are amazing! We haven't seen a big bluefish in the village for so long!"
Ye Lin gave Fu Wan a thumbs up. Bighead carp, grass carp, and crucian carp are common, but such a large black carp is truly rare. "A big black carp? We call it a grass carp where I'm from," Fu Wan said modestly, waving her hand. "Well, I can easily handle hundreds of pounds of fish from the sea, so this little river fish is no problem at all!"
