At 7:30 in the morning, Ning Xiyue and the others from the Youth League Institute had already arrived at the river. They originally thought they were the first group, but unexpectedly there were people who arrived even earlier.
There were quite a few enthusiastic people. Looking around, there were nearly ten people sitting on the thick ice, scattered here and there.
Either they hold a net bag filled with bait to lure the fish, or they sit on the ice and fish.
The ice is too thick to make a hole, so it seems most people are fishing.
Walking onto the ice, Zhao Jianshe looked at the educated youth and said:
"Let's each find a good spot first, don't stray too far. If anyone needs help, just shout. The men from our Youth League will help with digging the hole. You can also go fishing together in groups, it's safer."
After Zhao Jianshe finished speaking, everyone in the Youth League Institute began to look for people to form teams, and after forming the teams, they left to find a place to fish.
Of course, there are also those who don’t want to form a team and just want to fish quietly by themselves.
Ning Xiyue was the first to say, "I'll be with my second brother later, so don't worry about me."
After she said this, no one asked her to form a team anymore.
Liu Yao and Yu Zhiyu, brother and sister, turned their eyes to Chen Yechu.
Liu Yao, understanding her cousin's intention, walked over to Chen Yechu and invited her: "Yechu, how about the three of us fishing together? I can also let my cousin help us."
"I think it's hard to fish with too many people standing together. It's easy to scare the fish away. So I prefer to fish alone."
Chen Yetu looked at the brother and sister apologetically and said.
It wasn't that she didn't want to team up with the brother and sister, but she had some different ideas about fishing today. For convenience, she just wanted to find a place to fish alone.
But after Chen Yechu finished speaking, he noticed Yu Zhiyu's slightly lost look, so he added another sentence and looked at Yu Zhiyu with expectation.
"However, Comrade Yu, I would like to trouble you to help me dig a hole in the ice. I am not strong enough to dig it open, and I really need your help. Is that okay?"
When Yu Zhiyu heard this, the disappointment in his eyes disappeared instantly, and there was no trace of sadness at all. He took a few steps forward and stood in front of Chen Yechu, like a child who had received candy, and immediately responded happily.
"Okay, leave it to me. I'll definitely dig a good ice hole for you. Let's find a location now, and I'll help you finish it before we leave."
"Thank you, Comrade Yu."
Chen Yechu smiled at Zhiyu, who was so fascinated that he lost his way in an instant, his head dizzy, and gave Chen Yechu a half-cooked sweet potato in his hand. The tips of his ears turned red.
"You're welcome. This is bait. It's easy to catch big fish with this."
Ning Xiyue, who was sitting on the side, was waiting for her second brother on a small stool. She happily ate the bowl of dog food with gusto.
How come the relationship between these two people is still so interesting? They have known each other for more than half a year, but they are still so simple and innocent, which makes her, who is watching from the sidelines, very excited.
Watching other people fall in love is fun.
At the same time, I express my deep sympathy for your kindness.
It seems that Yu Zhiqing is completely controlled by Chen Yetu. He listens to her in everything and can be brightened up by a little sunshine. He will definitely be a henpecked husband in the future, and he will enjoy it and do it voluntarily.
Looking at Chen Yechu again, she took the sweet potato and put it into the bag of bait, and then she pinched a piece of dough made of flour and added special bait to it and gave it to Yu Zhiyu.
He turned around and pulled off another piece of food and handed it to Ning Xiyue: "Xiyue, I'll go find a place first, you take your time."
"Okay, go ahead, don't worry about me." Ning Xiyue waved her hand.
She sat there alone and watched Yu Zhiyu and Liu Yao follow Chen Yetu towards a less crowded place.
The location Chen Yechu finally chose was very quiet, far away from where other people were fishing, and he was all alone.
Ning Xiyue suddenly understood why Chen Yechu was fishing alone. He wanted to use a cheat and find a secluded place where he wouldn't attract attention.
She reasonably guessed that if Chen Yechu couldn't catch any fish, would he buy some fresh fish to replace the fish he caught?
At this time, Ning Qingyuan came with a fishing rod and tools. Seeing the back of a figure that looked like his sister, he shouted, "Sister."
"Second brother, here."
Ning Xiyue withdrew her gaze when she heard the familiar voice, immediately stood up, waved her hand, turned around and shouted.
Ning Qingyuan ran over happily, "Sister, come on, today I'll let you see my fishing skills. I guarantee you'll catch a lot of fish."
Ning Xiyue believed what he said. When it came to fishing, her brother was a professional, so she just came to join in the fun today and leave professional matters to professionals.
"Brother, I'll leave the task of choosing a spot to you. You did it last year, so you're more familiar with the areas in this river where there are lots of fish."
"Okay, come with me. Let's go to the widest and most central location."
Ning Qingyuan gave her some scientific knowledge about fishing as they walked.
"In winter, there's a lack of oxygen underwater, and the temperature in the middle of the river is higher than at the edge, which makes fish feel safer. Most fish gather in the middle of the river."
He waved the ice pick in front of Ning Xiyue again.
"We can use this to make a hole in the ice. Oxygen will rush in, and the fish below will swim over. This will make it easier for us to fish. It's a rare day without snow, so the hole won't freeze over quickly, so we're sure to catch some fish."
Ning Xiyue listened to her second brother's clear and logical explanation, and her anticipation for today's fishing trip was high: "Then I'm looking forward to eating fish. Today I want to eat spicy boiled fish fillets."
"Okay, today, Second Brother will definitely let you eat boiled fish. I'll be in charge of fishing and cooking. I'll make you a spicy and numb fish fillet, and also steamed fish. It'll be a whole fish feast."
