When they arrived at the fishing grounds, it was already nine o'clock. They had been waiting at the usual spot all day.
Bai Jiu said excitedly, "Brother Tian, we went to the Tongcheng base last night."
Bai Shuang nodded, "We traded fish for a lot of things. We'll bring some back for you this afternoon."
That's all for now, I'm going to go fishing. I'll let you know when I get back this afternoon.
More and more people know that they can fish on the frozen surface of the Yellow River. When hungry people see even the slightest hope, they flock to it, let alone the plump and delicious fish from the Yellow River.
The number of people on the ice is increasing exponentially every day.
Despite the government's snowplows constantly expanding the area, it is still very crowded due to the large number of people trying to clear the snow.
Bai Shuang could clearly feel that the number of fish was decreasing. Before, every time he pulled the net, it would get stuck in the ice hole, but now he could scoop out half a net without getting stuck.
Although the catch was less each time, the fish food was infused with the spiritual spring water, so the two trucks still returned fully loaded each time, maintaining their top position, only with a few more nets caught than before.
But Bai Shuang and the others had a premonition that the fish would soon be all gone, so they had to hurry and catch as many as possible.
Returning in the evening, Bai Shuang told Bai Tian about all the information she had seen at the base the night before.
"Let's go get some fuel. It's expensive, but we'll run out of it more and more often. Food is precious, but without fuel, we can't go far or get any food. Luckily, we can still catch fish every day."
During the day, they naturally knew the importance of fuel. If it weren't for the car and fuel, how much could they have carried by themselves through their hard work on the dozens of miles of mountain road?
"This is a new toy for Niu Niu; it has already been disinfected."
These two sets of children's cotton-padded clothes are still in the packaging and can be worn by children.
These vegetables were also obtained from the base; we're sharing some with you.
Also, take these two cans of formula back to the child. Don't exchange any expired formula from the base.
Here's also this can of fuel; the three of us exchanged three portions yesterday.
Apart from the children's toys, everything else mentioned above belongs to the White Frost Space. I'll find an excuse to give them to them.
"Thank you, miss. Fishing isn't easy for you either."
If it weren't for Miss, where would they have gotten so many fish?
He accepted the goods, but insisted on leaving behind 500 catties of fish, otherwise he wouldn't accept them.
Alright, let it go. It's a good thing that you don't want to rely on others. Bai Shuang accepted the fish.
The next afternoon, after they finished fishing during the day, they went to the base. Before leaving, Bai Jiu and the other person joked with him.
"Brother Tian, you'd better cover your face well when you go, and don't let your brothers-in-law bother you."
"I wouldn't even acknowledge them if I saw them."
I have no choice but to keep an eye on my in-laws. It's out of humanitarian considerations. Who would support those few heartless lazybones?
The next morning, when they came over, Bai Jiu asked.
Did you run into your brother-in-law and his family yesterday?
Seeing the wry smiles on their faces, everyone knew what was going on.
Unexpectedly, Bai Jiu and the others were right. As soon as they entered the base's points exchange hall, they were recognized by several of their older brothers and sisters-in-law who had gone there to enjoy the warmth.
When they are hungry, they are particularly sensitive to food.
As soon as they saw that it looked like his son-in-law, they swarmed over like leeches, trying to snatch the fish...
"Tell me quickly, tell me, what happened next?"
Bai Jiu wanted to see how his usually steady older brother would react when faced with his unreasonable brother-in-law and his family.
Seeing Bai Jiu's excited expression during the day, she thought, "Are you deliberately trying to make me look foolish?"
"No, no, I just wanted to check on Tian-ge, I was worried that they might have beaten you up."
Bai Tian glared at Bai Jiu, "Do you think they can beat me?"
"We can't beat them, but they outnumber us. Won't they resort to underhanded tactics?"
Bai Shuang smiled as she watched them bicker.
Bai Chang laughed and said, "Even their underhanded tactics can't outsmart Brother Tian."
Of the four, Bai Tian was the most capable, possessing both courage and wisdom, but unfortunately, he was dragged down by Bai Di's family.
As a result, Bai Jiu and Bai Chang later became hesitant to date.
Bai Jiu still wanted to know the truth, so he looked at his brother from the daytime and asked, "What happened next?"
"What could they do? They were simply told they didn't know them, and the security personnel chased them away."
At the base, many people resorted to unauthorized family connections in order to obtain supplies.
"Is it really that simple?"
She glared at him again during the day, "Then how complicated do you want it to be?"
"Shouldn't they fight for three hundred rounds?"
During the day, he was both amused and exasperated; his younger brother's thinking was a bit unconventional.
Bai Chang burst out laughing.
"You've been reading too many martial arts novels. Three hundred rounds of fighting? If it were a real fight, all of them combined, Brother Tian could take them down like throwing sandbags in a minute."
"That makes sense, but the problem is they are Bai Di's family, and Brother Tian can't bring himself to do it."
This is what is known as emotional blackmail.
"That's because they've left now and no longer pose a threat. If they were to stay, Brother Tian would definitely resort to extreme measures."
Bai Chang's words were also a message to Bai Tian, meaning that if he wanted to come back and cause trouble again, he would have to use extraordinary means.
Everything was fine during the day, but the handling of the matter with the elderly couple's relatives was not decisive enough. Otherwise, the brothers-in-law wouldn't still be taking food from the elderly couple.
I heard from Bai Tian that yesterday, they not only exchanged some of their fuel for fish, but also some rice, flour, salt, and oil. No matter how delicious fish is, you'll get tired of eating it every day; you still need to eat it in a variety of ways.
The idea of exchanging items at the base opened up a new avenue for them. They decided to go there every other day to exchange items, so they could find whatever they needed at home.
Unlike in the past, when everything was disorganized and there was no way to replace those who were missing.
"You don't need to go so often. You can focus all your energy on fishing. When you can't catch any more, you'll have plenty of time to change your fishing methods."
"Miss is right, it was my oversight."
Although the young lady was five years younger than him, she had always been a god-like figure in their hearts since childhood, and they would absolutely obey her orders and suggestions.
It seemed as if everything she said was the truth.
She said there would be a natural disaster, and that the disaster would definitely come, and that the timing was so precise. She said that fish could be caught in the Yellow River. When Bai Jiu informed him, his brother said, "How can we catch fish in snow that's nearly ten stories thick?"
But he and Bai Di were absolutely convinced that if the young lady said she could catch fish, she definitely could.
Sure enough, the first day was a great success. The young lady added medicine to their fish food, and it didn't take much effort to catch a whole cartload of fish.
As truckloads of fish were hauled back, income brought improvement to everyone's lives, and everyone was all smiles, especially Bai Di and Xiao Niu Niu, whose health improved day by day and who became more energetic after the young lady arrived.
He and Bai Di privately suspected that when the young lady mentioned going to Shanxi on business, she might have meant fishing in the Yellow River.
It's not impossible that the young lady is capable of divination.
If Bai Shuang knew they were thinking this way, she would definitely say, "You're overthinking it."
Getting back to the point, no matter what, if you want to exchange supplies, you need to have supplies to exchange with others. The main task right now is to hurry up and catch fish.
