Jiang Mengxue didn't know that her cousin had changed so much.
"By the way, aunt, did my cousin write back after he went to the army?
Did you tell me how he is doing in the army? When will he have time to come back?
Da He just joined the army. New recruits will definitely not have any vacation to go home and visit their families for at least three to five years.
Jiang Mengxue has been with Gu Qingbei for a long time and has some understanding of the army.
"I wrote back saying that life in the army is good and that the meals I get three times a day are more filling than at home.
I just have to train every day, and I may not have any vacation to go home and visit my family in the near future.
Since he joined the army, he became a member of the country.
What he should do is to train well and serve the motherland.
He doesn't need to worry about things at home. Your uncle and I are not old, so it's not time for him to fulfill his filial duties.
Besides, I have three sons and two daughters at home, so I don’t need a son by my side.”
Aunt Jiang said this with great confidence.
Who made her have so many children?
There must be one son who stays with you, right?
Jiang Mengxue changed the topic and chatted with her aunt for a while.
Afraid of delaying her aunt's work, Jiang Mengxue only sat for a while before leaving.
"Aunt, you're busy at home, so I won't bother you any more. My mom is taking care of the child at home, so I have to go back and take a look."
Aunt Jiang wanted to keep Jiang Mengxue and play for a while longer.
But considering that the child was still at home, she didn't say anything.
"Okay, go back quickly. Tomorrow, Erhe will bring his relatives and you can bring the children over. We will have lunch together at noon."
Jiang Mengxue said goodbye to her aunt and turned to walk towards the lake where the team was.
She had fish hooks and lines in her bag.
I casually broke off a slightly longer trunk from a big tree, tied the fishing line to it and planned to go fishing by the river.
Although Jiang Mengxue is a girl, she is very interested in fishing.
In her previous life, she had collected countless fishing rods, fishing lines, and fishing baits.
But now, due to limited conditions, I can only make do with it.
The bait is earthworms dug up from the river.
There are not many people by the river now. As the weather gets colder, the children don’t dare to go into the river anymore.
Since they can't go into the river, they naturally don't want to play by the river.
So Jiang Mengxue is the only one around here.
Since there was no one around, she was brave enough to take out some spiritual spring water from the space and dig a nest first.
The spiritual spring water is very attractive to animals.
Soon a group of fish swam to the place where Jiang Mengxue hung the fish hook.
The fishing float was bitten, and judging from the force, it must be a big fish.
Jiang Mengxue slowly pulled the fishing rod back, worried that if he used too much force, the rod would break.
After a while, a grass carp weighing four or five pounds was pulled up.
She didn't bring a fishing net or a bucket, so she could only pass a rope through the fish's gills and hang it in the water, intending to catch a few more before returning home.
While the effect of the spiritual spring water was still there, Jiang Mengxue immediately threw the hook down again.
She had never experienced such a situation where fish were pulled up in a swarm.
Not far away, Jiang Daqiu was pulling a flatbed cart towards them. On the cart was the firewood they had chopped all afternoon.
It will be delivered home and spread out in the yard to dry, and used as firewood in winter.
He saw a person squatting by the river fishing from a distance, but the distance was too far for him to see clearly who it was.
When I got closer, I found that it was actually a woman. The more I looked, the more familiar she looked. When people turned around, I realized that it was my own sister.
"Second sister, why are you here?
Do you know how to fish? Don't let the fish catch you in the end, will you?
There's no one near the river right now. If you accidentally fall in, no one will notice. You're really brave."
Jiang Mengxue gave him a look of contempt. Who was she looking down on?
Have you ever fished? Can you catch a fish? How dare you look down on me?
"Wait, I'll show you my skills in a moment.
I guarantee there will be so many fish you won’t be able to lift them all.”
Jiang Daqiu didn't believe it. He had been there for a long time and hadn't seen her catch any fish.
There is a lot of firewood waiting for him on the mountain, so he doesn't have time to stay here and play with his sister.
"Okay, stop playing. Come home with your brother. Dad and the others are waiting for me to go back and get firewood."
Jiang Mengxue hasn’t had enough fun yet, so she’s not going home.
He picked up all the fish thrown into the river.
I have caught twelve fish, and the smallest one weighs two kilograms.
"Take all these back with you. I'll wait for Dad and my older brothers to come down the mountain and then go back together."
Jiang Daqiu didn't expect that she would really catch so many fish and was worried about being seen.
He struggled to unload the first few bundles of firewood, and then placed the fish at the bottom.
Because now everything is publicly owned.
Every blade of grass and every tree on the mountain, even every drop of water in the river, does not belong to an individual.
However, some places are not so strict.
If a person goes up the mountain to catch a pheasant or rabbit, or goes down to the river to catch a fish, and can take them back with him, he is considered lucky.
But if the quantity is too large, it will not work and must be handed over to the brigade for processing.
Regardless of whether it is sent to a purchasing station or distributed to everyone in the team, it cannot be owned by an individual.
"Third brother, please bring me a bag when you go back, otherwise it will be difficult to take the fish out later."
The corner of Jiang Daqiu's mouth twitched, and he wondered if his sister was particularly lucky today?
Otherwise, how could you catch so many fish?
It was not until noon when Jiang Mengxue decided to stop and go home to eat.
There were about twenty more fish trapped by the river.
At this time, several men from the Jiang family also went down the mountain and prepared to go home.
They had originally planned to ask Jiang Daqiu to bring them some steamed bread and pickles at noon so that they would not go down the mountain.
But when they heard that their daughter and sister had caught a lot of fish, they were very curious and wanted to come back to take a look.
When he saw Jiang Mengxue pulling up a string of big fish from the river with his own eyes, his eyes widened.
If the fish in this river were so easy to catch, they wouldn't have survived until now.
"Second sister, how did you do it? Can you catch so many fish with just earthworms?"
This river is not particularly big. Although it is a bit deep inside, it is fine as long as you don't go in.
In the summer evenings, after dinner, they would come here to bathe and swim.
There were also children who went into the water to catch fish, but they rarely caught any.
But you can't use fishing nets. You need tools to fish, and you have to spend money to buy fish hooks and lines. You may not even catch fish, so it's definitely not cost-effective.
So no one tried to fish in the river.
I didn't expect to see so much today. I found that I could catch so many fish with such a small amount of money. It's really worth it.
Jiang Mengxue was worried that her brothers thought anyone could catch the fish, so she quickly dissuaded them from doing so.
"Of course it's not because of the earthworms, the bait was specially prepared by me.
If you want to go fishing, come to my house next time you come back and I'll make some for you. The bait needs to be fresh; it's useless if it's been sitting around for too long."
Thinking that several of my sisters-in-law are about to give birth, it would be nice to drink some fish soup regularly.
As for the special bait, it is just catching some earthworms and feeding them some spiritual spring water.
Just marinate it until it is flavorful, the fish will definitely like the smell.
