While the fish were still gathered together, Si Cheng and Yun Qi each took a large net and cast it together towards the area where the fish were most concentrated.
In the area covered by the net, many fish were seen trying to break through the net and escape, and the entire surface of the water began to boil.
There were just too many fish in the net. Yunqi could only pull it twice before she couldn't move it anymore, so she had to ask her husband for help.
"Don't move yet. I'll help you after I've finished catching this net."
Si Cheng pulled on the rope in his hand, thinking that the tens of kilograms of force here was something that ordinary people could not withstand.
Wild fish like these are incredibly strong fighters. Even when fishing outdoors, it's not easy to reel them in, let alone a net full of such a large catch.
"There are too many." When the fishing net got close to the shore, Yunqi saw that it was packed with all kinds of fish, and some fish were lucky enough to break free and return to the lake.
Si Cheng didn't bother to check what was inside. Once the fishing net was completely pulled away from the water's edge, he came over and took the net from Yun Qi's hands.
"These two nets must contain over a hundred or two hundred pounds of fish." Yun Qi squatted down and began untangling the fish in the nets, keeping the larger ones and throwing the smaller ones directly into the lake.
"The types of fish here are different from those in the lake at the entrance of our village. There are even some upturned fish here." Yunqi picked up a slender white fish. The texture of these upturned fish is also very good, and they are very suitable for children and the elderly to eat.
"Later, we'll release more earthworms, and if possible, we'll try to bring back as many mandarin fish as possible. As for the other fish, it doesn't matter whether we take them or not."
"Now that we've caught them, we can't just put them back. Besides, every kind of fish has a different flavor. And I don't have much stock left in my storage space, so let's take this opportunity to catch more."
Most of the stock in Yunqi Space consists of sea fish, and land fish like this are relatively rare. Moreover, after such a long time, they are almost depleted. Now that we have the opportunity, we should definitely replenish them.
Since his wife had spoken, Si Cheng temporarily stopped dealing with the wild boars and started casting his net along the lakeshore where fish gathered in large numbers.
Because Yun had a sudden idea, the two of them put down the wild boar they were fishing, and by the time they had finished processing all the fish and wild boar meat, it was almost dark.
"Today has been a very busy day. I'm so tired that I don't even want to move my hands anymore. I was thinking of having a barbecue, but now I have no appetite at all."
Yunqi found a clean patch of grass and lay down on it. She looked at her rough, calloused hands and resisted the urge to take out hand cream from her spatial storage to apply it. You see, in order not to be too different from the villagers, she has basically stopped using skincare products.
"Honey, will you ever grow tired of me, this old hag?" Yunqi asked Sicheng, who was still busy, as she propped her head up with her hand.
"Where are you going to find a 'yellow-faced woman'? Look at your face, it's whiter than anything else, you should be called a 'white-faced woman'!"
"You really are a pretty boy. Sometimes I even think your face is whiter than mine. I used to always wish my face was whiter, but now I realize that being white has its downsides. Look at how noticeable my acne scars and blackheads are."
Yunqi had somehow gotten a mirror and was looking at his face. He felt that his current pale complexion wasn't as pleasing to the eye as his previous healthy skin tone.
"That's why I said you're being too cautious. It's okay if you use more skincare products. Otherwise, what were you doing stockpiling so many skincare products from overseas?"
"I just impulsively bought them all, and now I think I should have stocked up on more practical things." Yunqi regrets it now, since those skincare products were expensive and not very practical.
"Since you've stockpiled it, you should use it. You can't just leave it there to go to waste."
"You always make me use those skincare products now, is it because you think my spots and acne are more noticeable now and you're starting to dislike them?" Yunqi looked at him with some suspicion.
"Alright, instead of wasting time speculating, you should just put these things away. You were the one who said before that there are no ugly women, only lazy ones, and that you should treat yourself better. I just told you to use some skincare products, and now you're being so suspicious. Besides, I've seen you in much worse shape before, and I didn't complain then, so why would I complain now?"
Upon hearing this, both of them couldn't help but recall their unkempt appearance in their previous lives, even emitting a pungent smell due to dehydration, yet they were still able to cuddle together back then.
Yunqi suddenly felt that the questions he had asked earlier were a bit silly, and he started to stand up and help tidy up the tools scattered around.
Si Cheng took the large intestines out of the pot of hot water and put them in a basin, finally finishing all his tasks for the day.
"Let's eat something light tonight. After all that fish and meat all day, I have no appetite at all." Although she felt nauseous, her stomach was protesting.
"Let's go back to the containers and rest." Si Cheng didn't want to stay here any longer; he felt there was still a foul smell of entrails lingering in the air.
The two of them moved away from the lakeside, and the air felt a bit better, but they still felt that their body odor was unpleasant.
Instead of returning to the container, they went to the cave they had discovered earlier. Yunqi brought out two buckets containing hot water that they had prepared at home.
"Take a shower first, or you won't be able to eat porridge later."
Si Cheng raised an eyebrow at her. "Together."
"Who's with you? You wash here first, I'll go unpack the stuff." After saying that, she turned around and ran quickly towards the container. Even though they've been married for a long time, I was still charmed by her.
Si Zhengwei's family, who had returned to Xin San Village from Pinghe Village, also welcomed their first matchmaker to propose marriage.
"Accountant Si, you've really made something of yourself. Look at the things in this room, they're much better than ours." As soon as she entered the room, Sister-in-law Wang started looking around, even taking a second look at an iron basin.
"Not at all, Sister-in-law Wang, your family is quite good too. Secretary Wang's family is so large that we are all envious." Si Zhengwei quickly and smoothly returned the compliment.
"Large families have their advantages, but they also have a lot of troubles." Sister-in-law Wang sighed as if she had thought of something.
Si Zhengwei didn't want to continue her conversation and pry into other people's privacy, so he quickly gave Huang Yun, who was sitting to the side, a look, signaling her to go and greet them.
Huang Yun had always accompanied Si Zhengwei on social occasions, and soon she started chatting with Sister-in-law Wang about other trivial matters at home.
Seeing that the two of them were chatting happily, Si Zhengwei stood up and wanted to go to the backyard to check on the chicken coop.
