"Luo Jin? That name seems familiar. Let me look for it..."
The postman started rummaging through the mailbag, but he couldn't find Luo Jin's name on any of the letters.
He smiled and said only after looking at the package register:
"Yes, you really are something. Yours is a package, and you need to pick it up at the town post office yourself."
"I knew it! Okay, I'll go to town to pick it up this afternoon too." Luo Jin nodded in satisfaction.
As soon as the postman left, the group went inside one after another.
Fang Yuan went into the bedroom, opened the letter, and found that it was actually sent to her by the original owner's younger brother, Fang Bei.
This kid remembers very clearly the place where she went to the countryside.
Fang Bei told her that after he went to the countryside, his father and stepmother had a conflict.
And his stepmother's younger sister, who dared to take things from him, he beat her up.
"This kid..."
Fang Yuan was both amused and exasperated. Fang Bei was her younger brother, thirteen years old, and had just started junior high school.
That stepmother's younger sister is only five years old, how can she fight like that?
It was clearly because of her going to the countryside that this kid blamed his stepmother and Wang Qingqing's group, and beat up his half-sister along with them.
The conflict between her biological father and stepmother was mostly fueled by this kid's exaggeration, and Fang Yuan said that the kid did a great job.
As for what happens to her stepmother and that younger sister, that's none of her business.
She remembered that her original father found this stepmother to take care of her and her younger brother.
As it turns out, the stepmother, who had initially agreed to everything, changed her mind once she became pregnant.
This time, he even went so far as to bring Wang Qingqing to the countryside.
If this woman hadn't given Wang Qingqing her family's household registration book, how could she have gotten Wang Qingqing to register for the exam?
You need a household registration booklet to register for rural residency. Without it, your family won't know which household you belong to. And you can't just transfer your household registration anytime!
With this in mind, Fang Yuan wrote three letters.
The original owner's father, eldest brother, and younger brother each received a letter.
Her younger brother sent her a letter to school with five yuan inside; she didn't want her stepmother to see it at home and confiscate it.
Her father's letters were sent to the factory; she would never send anything to the home address anyway.
After writing the letter, she took out a few soaked corn kernels and a small ball of gray dough mixed with sesame oil and water from her spatial storage.
"Alright, let's try the bait. Let's have lunch early so we can go to town to pick up the package."
Holding his homemade bait, Fang Yuan called to the group.
"OK."
Luo Jin was carrying a basket on his back, inside which was a rabbit waiting to be slaughtered.
Zhou He was holding the fish basket he had just borrowed.
Zhou Jiahui carried a large wooden basin containing a kitchen knife, small bowls, and other tools. The four of them went out the door from the back.
Fang Yuan glanced back at the group, thinking that if she really couldn't catch any fish, she would find a secluded spot and go into the water to try and catch some.
"This little river looks so clean, the water is so clear, are there any fish in it?" Zhou Jiahui asked curiously as she stood by the river.
"Isn't this actually a stream?" Luo Jin said somewhat uncertainly.
He had seen rivers that were quite large before, but this little ditch seemed to be only a few meters wide. Are there any fish in it?
“This is the source of a tributary river. The water comes from the mountains, so there must be fish here,” Zhou He said after looking around.
Fang Yuan and the others looked at the rolling hills behind the house; it was indeed a beautiful place with clear waters and lush mountains.
"As long as there are fish, let's try this bait."
Fang Yuan put some bait in the fish basket and asked Luo Jin to find a place to put the fish basket.
Zhou He killed the rabbit a little behind, and put the inedible internal organs aside to throw into the fish basket later.
After setting the fish in the basket, Luo Jin found a bamboo pole somewhere and started threading a line through it to make a fishing rod.
Watching him deftly thread the fishing hook and line, Fang Yuan asked curiously, "You really know how to fish?"
"I know a little bit. I've fished with friends from the neighborhood before. You've already made the bait, so we're sure to catch a big fish this time."
He used to go fishing almost without ever getting caught, but he believed in Fang Yuan's bait and her good luck.
Seeing Luo Jin preparing to fish, Fang Yuan turned to watch Zhou He kill a rabbit.
Unexpectedly, before Zhou He had even finished dealing with the rabbits, Luo Jin had already caught a fish, and a big one at that.
"Quick, there's a fish! A big fish! This fish must weigh several pounds! My fishing rod is about to give way, quickly get the basket over there and go into the water to catch it!" Luo Jin shouted excitedly.
He was right; Fang Yuan's skills were so exceptional that even the fish in the river craved them.
"Quick, quick, here's the basket." Zhou Jiahui hurriedly handed over the basket.
Fang Yuan caught it and said, "You watch, I'll go down and get it!"
She rolled up her trousers and went into the river. The fish, which had been struggling, seemed to be so desperate to survive that they swam in the wrong direction.
It charged straight toward Fang Yuan, who took the opportunity to scoop it into his basket.
"What a big grass carp! It must weigh five or six pounds." Fang Yuan smiled as he looked at the fish in the basket.
It seems my bait is really good; I can now say I have a secret recipe.
"Let me see, this is really great, we're so lucky."
Zhou Jiahui hurriedly ran over and couldn't stop smiling when she saw the big fish in the basket.
Braised fish, fish with pickled cabbage, boiled fish...
She has already thought of many ways to eat it.
"Jiahui, there are fish here too, quickly bring the basket over."
Just then, Zhou He, who had finished cleaning the rabbit, called out to the two of them in a low voice.
"What? There's more? Coming right away."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Jiahui brought over a large wooden basin and asked Fang Yuan to put the fish in it. Then she picked up a basket and ran off.
She also wanted to try catching fish directly from the water.
"Slow down, I'm not going to take it from you," Fang Yuan said irritably.
In her past life, she was so tired of catching fish that she wouldn't have bothered trying to catch Luo Jin's fish if she wasn't afraid he would get away.
But through the clear river water, you could see several large fish swimming around the fish basket from afar.
Even Zhou Jiahui's loud commotion couldn't make them leave; there seemed to be quite a few small fish still swimming around in the basket.
The opening of the fish basket was too small for the large fish to get in, yet they were reluctant to leave, which shows that the bait was indeed very effective.
"Watch me, I want to catch fish too." Zhou Jiahui rolled up her trousers and carefully went into the water.
"Put the basket in the water from behind first, then slowly move closer, don't make any big movements," Zhou He could only instruct her.
"Um!"
Listening to Zhou He's words, Zhou Jiahui cautiously approached, spotted a spot, and took the opportunity to dig.
"Haha, I caught a fish too."
It was a carp weighing about three pounds.
Seeing the other fish scattering in all directions, Fang Yuan went back into the water and quickly caught a large one.
Get up now!
"Wow, Yuanyuan, you're amazing! You can catch fish in the water with your bare hands."
Zhou Jiahui looked at the five or six-pound silver carp in Fang Yuan's hand and almost worshipped her to death.
"Um... how about... you eat mine first!"
Fang Yuan looked at the fish in his hand, whose body he had almost broken, and asked somewhat awkwardly.
