Ning Xiyue was panicked, but her hands were faster than her brain. She picked up the fishing rod and pulled a crucian carp the size of four fingers out of the water.
"Ah, I finally caught a fish myself, second brother."
Ning Xiyue was so happy that she jumped up when she caught the fish and felt its slipperiness in her hands.
"Sister, you are awesome. You are much better than my first time fishing." Ning Qingyuan praised her as if he was coaxing a child, and gave her a big smile, almost giving her a little red flower as praise.
Finally he said, "There's too much slime on the fish, brother, let me help you remove it."
"No need for your help, I can do it myself."
Ning Xiyue felt even more pleased after receiving the compliments, and was filled with energy and motivation.
She tucked the fishing rod under her armpit, held the fish in one hand and removed the hook with the other. After taking the fish off, she made an empty fish basket to hold the fish she caught.
After putting the fish in the fish basket, I would squat there and watch it for a while before washing my hands contentedly and continuing fishing.
With this crucian carp as a base, Ning Xiyue fished more seriously. Her eyes seemed to be fixed on the float. She didn't blink or make a careless glance, for fear of missing the fish.
Ning Qingyuan saw how serious she was and didn't want to disturb her, so he simply let her fish by herself while he looked at the float in front of him seriously.
The two siblings sat down quietly to fish.
Ning Xiyue had experience and was more confident. She didn't ask her second brother to help her see when to lift the fishing rod, but relied entirely on her own feeling to pull the rod.
"Ah, another fish."
I pull up one rod after another. Although not every rod holds a fish, there is an 80% chance of catching a fish every time I pull up the rod.
As Ning Xiyue caught fish one after another, she began to exclaim in surprise, then to joy, then to ecstasy, then to gradual obsession, then to complete obsession, then to forgetting everything else, then to immersing herself in fishing, until only the fish were in her eyes.
Fish fish fish fish!
Ning Xiyue was completely immersed in the joy of fishing and was unable to extricate herself. She was completely unaware of the surrounding environment and reached a state of selflessness.
It was only when Ning Qingyuan was releasing the fish that he found that both fish baskets were full and the net bag he brought was also full that he stopped and reminded Ning Xiyue.
"Little sister, the fish basket is full. Let's go back. These fish will last us a long time. The crucian carp in it can make one or two jars of sour fish."
"Ah, why is it so fast here? It feels like I haven't been fishing for long, but it's already full." Ning Xiyue looked at the full fish basket in surprise, and looked down at the large lump of bait left in her hand with regret.
This bait is really durable. A small piece can be used for a long time and can catch a lot of fish. Ye Chu's bait is really easy to use.
Ning Xiyue lowered her head and sniffed the dough in her hand. There was a strange fragrance. It must be that fragrance that attracted the fish. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was fish mint.
"Come on, sister, let's go back and fry some fish." Ning Qingyuan packed up his things and handed the remaining dough to Ning Xiyue: "This bait is really useful, sister, keep it and use it in the afternoon."
"good."
Ning Xiyue took the dough left by her second brother, kneaded it a few times, and rolled it into a ball with the remaining dough in her hand, and put it into the system backpack. Such good bait cannot be wasted.
I don't know how many fish I can catch with this pile.
As Ning Qingyuan and Ning Xiyue were carrying their fish and packing up their gear, someone nearby asked loudly, "Yue girl, aren't you going to fish anymore? Is that spot open for us to fish?"
"Uncle, I'm not fishing anymore. Anyone who wants to fish here can come and do it."
If she didn't agree, others would come and occupy it, so it would be better to give her face now.
"Okay, thank you."
When the anglers around who had already set their eyes on their location heard Ning Xiyue's answer, they stared at the two ice holes where Ning Xiyue and her brother were fishing with green eyes, waiting for the two to leave so that they could run over and occupy this Feng Shui treasure land for fishing.
Ning Xiyue saw that the people around were getting restless, so she picked up a basket of fish and urged them, "Brother, let's go quickly. There are a lot of people waiting for us to leave."
It was quite scary to see a group of people looking at them with green eyes.
"Well, let's go."
The two siblings quickly picked up their things and left. When they reached the shore and looked back, they found that their place had been taken by two older members of the team. They had both taken the initiative under the protection of their elders.
The one among them was the uncle who asked her the question at the beginning. He held his head high and chest out with great pride, looking at the people around him who were trying to lose with a pout.
Those who failed to grab a seat were like defeated roosters. They returned to their original seats with their stools in shame, shaking their heads. Two people moved to the seats of the two uncles and sat there to fish.
It seems that I can't go fishing in the afternoon. If I go again, I will attract people's jealousy. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I have to go out separately.
Ning Xiyue looked down at the fish in the basket. This basket was all caught by her. The basket was big and there were many fish in it.
But compared to eating fish, she prefers fishing. The feeling of constantly catching fish is great and addictive.
Aunt Liu was sitting on the shore and was about to get up to go home and cook when she looked up and saw Ning Xiyue coming over with a pair of fish. She exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, Yue girl, you caught so many! You're even better than your uncle."
"Aunts, please bring the food here quickly so I can serve some for each of you. My brother Ye and I can't finish all this." Ning Xiyue waved to the aunts in their gossip group with a smile on her face.
She came here on purpose. Instead of distributing it to other people in the team, she decided to distribute it to the aunts who were on good terms with her. The aunts would really help her if she had any problems. Most importantly, they had a wide range of information, and any remarks that were not favorable to her would be refuted by them in the first place. She kept them in mind.
"Thank you, Yue girl."
The four aunts were holding a string of fish in their hands, their eyes were smiling, and they were busy expressing their gratitude.
Ning Xiyue waved goodbye to the aunts and said, "You're welcome. The aunts are busy, so my brother and I will leave first."
"Goodbye, aunts." Ning Qingyuan called out sweetly and followed his sister's footsteps to leave.
After returning to the team, Ning Xiyue sent some to Aunt Yang Liu and Aunt Qiu Ju's homes, and also sent some to Goudan's home, which meant that she had distributed all the fish in the basket she caught.
I received a lot of thanks and some dried vegetables. I was able to save some gossip and get more praise. I also had a lot of fish left.
After dealing with the social etiquette, Ning Xiyue and Ning Erge happily carried the fish and dried vegetables back to the Youth League Home to cook the fish.
