Chapter 22: Fishing in the River, Xinyi Complains



After beating the man, Tang Xinyi left with the bucket.

It felt pretty satisfying when I was beating people, but now I’m a little worried. Will there be a commotion at Cai Xiaofen’s house?

But what does it matter if she makes a fuss? No one saw it anyway. She refused to admit it, so who would dare to do anything to her, the daughter-in-law of the village chief?

Who made Cai Xiaofen be so mean?

If she hadn't said those words, I wouldn't have lost my mind and beat her so badly.

I found a relatively flat spot upstream, pulled aside the aquatic plants growing by the river, and looked at the situation in the river.

“Oh my! There are crayfish!”

This was really a surprise. I didn't expect to find a few crayfish lying in the shallow water as soon as I arrived.

Tang Xinyi immediately put Cai Xiaofen behind her and concentrated on picking up crayfish in the river.

By the way, I also put the screws I saw into the bucket.

But the water here is a bit deep, so it is a bit difficult to catch fish.

So she took off her shoes, put them in the bucket, then rolled up her trouser legs and went into the river.

I didn't go deep into the river, but just touched the snails and crayfish on the river bank.

While feeling around, he walked further upstream.

Hoping to find a good place to catch fish.

People who have not experienced it may not understand that touching screws is really a very stress-relieving thing.

After touching one, I want to touch the second one.

One after another, there is no way to stop.

What's more, many crayfish are hiding in the water plants.

Whenever Tang Xinyi saw a hint of red, she would quickly grab the crayfish and put them into the bucket.

After more than half an hour of work, her bucket was already filled with most of the river goods.

During this period, Tang Xinyi's mind was completely immersed in the joy of touching the screws.

Before I knew it, I came to a bend.

The water here is relatively shallow, and she can see the rocks at the bottom of the river clearly even when she stands there.

You can also see the small fish swimming around at the bottom of the water clearly.

Look at the fish in the water and then look at the weeds on the shore.

Why did she feel that the water plants on this shore were more lush?

Could there be a snake in here?

I didn't notice it when I was touching the screws before, but now that I've come to my senses, I realize that this environment is a bit scary.

But just as she was wondering if there was a snake on the shore, a flash of red suddenly appeared before her eyes.

“I didn’t expect there was Buddaria here?”

"I thought I wouldn't catch any fish today, but I didn't expect to have this much luck!"

Tang Xinyi picked up a branch from the side and started slapping it against the shore.

Then I dared to climb ashore.

He picked the few Buddaria plants that he liked, rubbed them in his hands for a while, and placed them upstream of the bend.

There is a small bay in this place. The bay is not big but looks quite deep, unlike the shallow water in other places.

Throw in some Buddaria japonica and you might catch a slow-moving fish or two.

After observing for a while, I found that the fish was still swimming in the water and was not drunk at all.

Tang Xinyi continued to touch the screw with a bit of disappointment. She planned to return the same way after touching this place.

It was impossible to let her walk on this lush shore. Not to mention whether there were really snakes, even those insects with colorful hairs were scary.

But just as she bent down to touch the screw again, she suddenly felt something touching her calf.

When she looked down, she saw a fish with its white belly turned up, sliding past her legs and floating downstream.

"Huh?"

Tang Xinyi reacted quickly and chased after it and picked up the fish.

I smelled the fish and found that it was very fresh and was still opening and closing its mouth to breathe.

She put the fish into the bucket, then looked towards the place where she had just thrown the Buddlejaw, where there were already several fish floating.

Tang Xinyi was worried that if too much time passed, the fish's intoxicated state would wear off, so she quickly put all the floating fish into the bucket.

Now I can have fish soup at noon.

Although most of these fish are only the size of a palm, this small crucian carp is the most delicious when used to make soup.

Plus the screws and crawfish in the bucket.

Today I will definitely give my family a delicious meal.

Seeing that the harvest was almost done, Tang Xinyi took out the Buddaria that she had thrown into the water earlier and threw it back to the shore.

Even if more fish are intoxicated, they will wake up on their own when the time comes.

She didn't want to stay here any longer, probably because she had been in the water for too long.

Or maybe this place is relatively shady, and when looking at the surrounding environment, people feel inexplicably uneasy.

Carrying the bucket, he followed the way he came back to where she had entered the water.

There are quite a few stones in this stream, but my feet are quite clean.

I knocked the weeds to the ground and stood there for a while until my feet were dry before putting on my shoes and going home.

On the way back, I passed by the river and took a look, but Cai Xiaofen was gone.

I wonder if that family will go to her house to make trouble at noon.

When Jiang Yanzhi comes back, I must tell him about this.

I looked at the sun above my head again, immersed my mind in the space, and glanced at the time on my watch. It was already 10:30.

Tang Xinyi didn't dare to hesitate any longer and quickly walked towards Lao Jiang's house.

When I got home, the people from the Jiang family who went to the fields to earn work points had not returned yet.

She first poured the snails and crayfish into a large wooden barrel and added some water to keep them.

If you want the snail to taste good, you have to spit out the sand, and the same goes for crayfish.

Let’s make some fish soup for lunch today. Just clean the fish. It’s not as troublesome as crayfish and snails.
