There are more people fishing on the banks of the Yellow River than fish in the river, so the catch is really poor.
By the way, I took my child with me today. My son was probably luckier than me; we caught two turtles today.
I sold one, but I still have one left. I'm planning to go to the early market tomorrow morning to sell it.
My cousin and her husband exchanged a glance and nodded to each other, knowing that what Dazhu and his wife said was credible.

I'm hoping to catch a few more before the ground freezes so I can sell them for more money.

Cheng Ge and Xia Jie, a married couple, exchanged a glance and stood up. "Chen Hong, don't bother. We have a dinner appointment tonight. We were originally planning to introduce you to someone."
