Chapter 406: There are more fishermen



After sending the little girl to school, Chen Wang returned home and took a nap with his wife.

After sleeping for less than an hour, they were still woken up by the crying of the little one.

Lin Xiuqin went over and picked up the child to feed him. Seeing Chen Wang staring at her without any hesitation, she glared at him in embarrassment and turned her back to him.

"Really? It's not like you haven't seen it before. There's nothing to be shy about."

Chen Wang muttered softly.

Not only did he watch it, he also had to make sure he slept well every night.

After my wife gave birth to the baby, she became much bigger and it was a little difficult to hold her in one hand.

Lin Xiuqin's pretty face flushed, she turned her head and pouted at him, and drove him out.

"Okay, okay, I'll go out."

Chen Wang smiled, stood up and walked out of the room.

After arriving in the yard and stretching, Chen Wang looked around, thinking about what to do today.

He has tidied the yard up very beautifully, with the flowers and plants growing neatly.

"Woof!"

“Woof woof!”

Three dogs came over and wagged their tails at his feet.

The little monkey and the little fox also followed.

Now that there is no little girl to play with them, they usually chase and play with each other in the yard, and more often they find a place to lie down and take a nap.

Chen Wang squatted down and stroked the dogs' heads, then went into the house to get some dried meat and fruit to feed them.

"Awang, do you want to go fishing?"

Suddenly, Chen Dazhuang's voice was heard from outside.

Chen Wang was stunned for a moment, then responded loudly: "Go, wait for me, I'll be right there."

After that, he turned around and walked quickly into the house, and said to his wife who was holding the little guy to sleep, "Wife, Da Zhuang and I are going fishing. We'll get you some crucian carp to make soup."

Lin Xiuqin smiled and nodded.

In fact, she was a little tired of drinking fish soup, but she knew that Chen Wang was bored staying at home, so she gave him a chance to go out and play.

In the past, Chen Wang and Lao Lutou cooperated to sell fish, so their family never lacked fish to eat. During this period, Chen Wang was idle at home and would go fishing every now and then to kill time.

Nowadays, the river is rich in fish and shrimp resources, so it is very easy to catch a few fish.

Chen Wang went to the utility room to get his fishing tools, told the three dogs and the little monkey to stay at home with their mistress, and then went to the river with Chen Dazhuang.

"Why do you want to go fishing today?"

"My wife wants to drink fish soup."

Chen Dazhuang answered with a smile.

Chen Wang smiled and nodded, "You have to get some good crucian carp to nourish your wife. Look at my wife, she was so well taken care of by me during her ten months of pregnancy."

When he said this, a hint of pride appeared on his face.

"Yeah, so my dad told me to learn more from you."

Chen Dazhuang grinned.

"Ahem... there's nothing much to learn. Just stay at home and spend more time with your wife and make more nutritious meals."

Chen Wang said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Then when we go fishing later, if I don't catch a good crucian carp, can you give me two in exchange if you do?"

"Let's see if there is more. My wife hasn't recovered yet, so she needs more nourishment!"

"That's true."

The temperature in this season is suitable, which is the golden period for fishing.

Like many animals in the mountains, fish need to eat a lot to store energy in order to survive the winter, so they are active frequently and more easily caught.

After the two arrived at the river, they found that in addition to a few common fishermen including Old Man Lu, there were many other people.

The better fishing spots are almost all occupied.

"Why are there so many people today?"

Chen Dazhuang frowned slightly, looking a little surprised.

"That's normal. There's almost no work in the fields at this time of year. I'm just sitting there doing nothing anyway. I might as well go fishing to improve my life."

Chen Wang said with a smile.

In fact, it is more than that.

Now with the transformation of the market economy, many people in several nearby villages have gradually come to their senses. They no longer think that doing business is speculation and are trying various ways to make money.

Fishing is one of them.

Speaking of which, this is also related to the fact that they purchased a large number of crayfish in the past few months.

There were a lot of rumors in several villages that they made a lot of money selling crayfish.

Many villagers have also seen it in the town market. There are several stalls selling crayfish, selling them for one or two yuan per pound!

The villagers are not stupid. Since they can make money from crayfish, selling fish can definitely make money too!

Moreover, many people had witnessed Chen Wang and Lao Lutou’s previous cooperation in selling fish.

Therefore, many villagers who have nothing to do at this time will come to the river to fish.

If you catch a lot, you can find a way to sell it. If you catch less, you can feed your family. After all, it’s meat!

The arrival of Chen Wang and his companion attracted the attention of many fishermen.

People from several nearby villages now basically know them. They envy and hate them for making a lot of money and living a better life. They also take them as examples and follow their example.

Even the number of idlers in several villages has decreased a lot because of these two people.

In this era, there is never a shortage of hardworking people.

But in the past, there was no way to make money and you might even get into trouble.

It’s different now. The news says that the country encourages the development of individual economy.

There are also people in the village like Chen Wang and Chen Dazhuang who have already made money.

With such a living example right before their eyes, how could they be content with the status quo?

They don't have the ability to hunt, but fishing is possible, right?

"Awang, Dazhuang, why don't you go hunting in the mountains today and come fishing instead?"

A middle-aged man asked curiously.

"Who goes into the mountains every day? It's too tiring. Let's go fishing today."

Chen Wang replied with a smile.

"Hahahaha...you guys have made enough money!"

"That's right, if I had your hunting skills, let alone going into the mountains every day, I would even stay there and not come out."

"Stop bragging, okay? Why don't you go to the mountains for two days and try it out?"

"Awang, come here. I'll give you this place. The fish are biting well here. I've already caught half a bucket of fish."

"No, no, we're just having fun, let's just find a place anywhere."

Chen Wang quickly waved his hand and declined.

The two of them quickened their pace and walked forward.

They have become accustomed to this situation.

Now both of them are popular in the village. Many villagers flatter them when they meet them and try to find various ways to get in touch with them.

When they passed behind Old Man Lu, he turned his head and looked at them.

"Master, how was your harvest today?"

Chen Wang asked with a smile, as if nothing had happened.

Old Man Lu's eyes flashed with gratitude, and he smiled bitterly and said, "The harvest is not bad, but there are more and more people fishing, so it's still not as good as before."

"It's okay, as long as I can make some money."

Chen Wang smiled and said comfortingly.

"Well, you guys can fish right here. I've made a nest."

"No, let's go over there."
