Ning Qingyuan became more and more excited as he spoke. Before he even caught any fish, he had already thought of how to use and cook it.
"If there's a lot, we can also get salted and sour fish."
Ning Xiyue also cooperated very well and imagined having a field full of fish: "Okay, if there are a lot of fish, we can cook it, and we can also send some to our families."
The widest section of the river was occupied, so they had to settle for the next best thing and walk to a relatively wider part of the river, to the middle of this section of the river, which was still unoccupied.
Ning Qingyuan stared at the ice in the river. Based on his experience, he chose a thick spot to stop and poked the ground with his ice pick: "This is it. This is a good spot."
"Okay, here it is."
When it comes to fishing, Ning Xiyue only listens to her second brother, and whatever her second brother says is what she does.
She put down the small stool and the fish basket, and waited for her second brother to dig a small hole. Then she took a brick to help him dig it. After the hole was expanded, she took another ice pick and started digging downwards.
The ice was nearly one meter thick. The two siblings worked together and finally dug two ice holes for fishing after more than an hour.
"Wow, this ice is really thick. It's so hard to dig."
Ning Xiyue sat down on the brick in sofa mode to catch her breath, rubbed her red and hot hands, looked at the hole in front of her and said:
"It will be a waste of effort if I don't catch a few fish today."
"Then I'll try to catch more fish and not waste all the effort and time we spent chipping away at the ice."
Ning Qingyuan smiled when he heard this, sat on a small bench and drank a sip of water. After resting for a while, he started fishing with a fishing rod and bait.
The bait they used was made by Ning Qingyuan himself. He used a little flour and boiled sweet potatoes to make a small dough. Ning Xiyue put away the red dough given by Chen Yechu for the time being.
Ning Qingyuan put bait on the fishing rod, taught Ning Xiyue how to see if there was a fish on the hook, and how to fish, then handed the fishing rod to Ning Xiyue and let her do it freely.
Ning Xiyue excitedly took the fishing rod and started fishing in the ice hole in front of her.
As time went on, Ning Xiyue's excitement faded because she didn't catch a single fish.
Ning Xiyue looked at her second brother who was staring at the ice cave calmly like an old monk in meditation. She was really impressed. She had never seen her second brother so calm and composed.
But she couldn't sit still anymore, so she stood up and looked around. There were already quite a few people fishing, and she became interested: "Brother, I'll go around and see how other people are fishing."
"Go ahead, and be careful." Ning Qingyuan continued to stare at the float without even raising his head.
Ning Xiyue put her fishing rod next to her second brother, patted her butt, and walked around with her hands in her pockets. She really wanted to find out what was going on and see how the educated youth in the Youth League were fishing.
Hehe, what she wanted most was to go diagonally across the street to see how Chen Yechu was doing.
