He pulled a bamboo fish trap from the water; inside, two or three small fish were jumping around.
"The fish trap that Liu Qing and I invented together can catch a big bowl of fish in a day. Enough for Hu Zi and me to eat."
"Oh, you and Xiao Qingzi have this skill? Let me see."
As he spoke, Xiao Weiguo took off his leather shoes and socks, rolled up his suit trousers high, jumped into the knee-deep river water, and walked towards Xiao Jian.
After taking the fish trap from Xiao Jian, Xiao Weiguo examined it carefully.
In fact, the fish traps that Xiao Jian made didn't require much technical skill.
It's made by weaving bamboo into an upside-down bowl, about one meter in diameter, sealed at the bottom, with small holes on all four sides large enough for a crucian carp to squeeze in. The holes get smaller as you go in, making it difficult for the fish to get out once it's inside.
Dig up some earthworms or worms from the ground, or something with a slightly fishy smell, and throw it in to lure the fish.
The principle and process are very simple, yet very useful, and the effect is many times stronger than touching it with your hands in water.
"Yes, yes, this is good."
Xiao Weiguo looked at it over and over again, praising it as he went.
"Can't we just throw this thing in the water and wait?"
"Yes, but we need to take it out and check it after a while, otherwise, if it's left for too long, the fish will find their own way out and be able to crawl out."
When talking about his masterpiece, Xiao Jian gradually became more talkative.
"Okay, I'll try this thing out and see if it works."
Xiao Weiguo walked around in circles, found a suitable spot, and prepared to go over and put the fish trap down.
Who knew that he would slip and lose his balance, falling into the river with a splash, his whole body getting soaked.
When he frantically thrashed himself out of the water, wiping the water off his face, he saw Xiao Jian and Gao Hu laughing so hard they were doubled over.
Xiao Weiguo blushed and threw away the fish trap in his hand.
"I'll make you laugh."
With that, he pounced on both boys, knocking them both into the river.
The joyful sounds of laughter echoed for a long time in the small river.
