Chapter 1286 Rescue at the Riverside 1

When everyone heard that they were allowed to catch fish in the river, they were very enthusiastic.

Even if it is not a festival, even if you can get a bowl of plain rice balls and pickled salted fish, it will be enough to eat for the whole summer.

Not every family is like Lu Jiang's family and Wang Zheng's family, who take advantage of Zhang Yuejin's convenience to buy some meat skin, offal and bones for free from time to time to satisfy their hunger. Most families can only eat meat during festivals.

So, before the rain stopped, men, women, old and young all went out.

The rivers, ditches, canals and puddles were all crowded with people.

Guan Cheng was quite clever. Relying on the fact that his home was closest to the reservoir, he took Lu Tianzhi and Guan Yu to the upper reaches of the river to go swimming. This was closest to the reservoir's sluice gate, but the water flow was also quite turbulent.

Come early, no one else is there.

Xibao, Fubao and the twins all love to watch the fun. The older ones are better and ran to the river by themselves, stepping one step deep and one step shallow. The younger ones babbled for a long time and couldn't speak clearly. The four elders and Lu's father in the cowshed helped to look after them and brought Ding Hailan with them. She followed behind Xibao and kept calling him "brother".

Ding Hailan looks only six or seven years old, but in fact he is two months older than Xibao. He was born in March. May is Xibao's seventh birthday. While eating longevity noodles, Ding Guofeng suddenly realized that his grandson had called Xibao brother for several months in vain.

The old man was wearing a straw raincoat, holding an umbrella for his child, and standing on the shore looking into the river.

The river swelled to waist depth.

The three brothers from Guancheng carried large rocks in the turbulent river and blocked the river. They placed a nylon net with rattan circles in the gap in the middle. Feng Qingxue had woven it with nylon ropes, and the mesh was not big.

Lu Tianzhi and Guan Yu each held down one side of the rattan circle to prevent the nylon net from being washed away by the water.

Before long, the two brothers worked together to lift the net and brought a bag of lively fish to the shore, causing a group of kids to clapped and shouted with joy.

"Fish! Fish!" Xiongxiong was talkative. He pointed at the fish in the net bag and shouted, and Dundun also shouted.

Fubao held his little face in his hands and said, "There are so many fish. I want to eat the fish balls made by my mother!"

Several children immediately gathered around the bucket and looked at the fish being put in. Their smiling faces blossomed like flowers.

Carp, crucian carp, grass carp, whitefish, black carp, and catfish, large and small, filled the three wooden barrels they brought. The brothers quickly collected the nets, carried the buckets home, and let the river water carry the large and small fish down through the gap in the rocks.

They cannot be greedy and have to leave some for downstream, so the gaps left by the rocks are not blocked when they are pulling the nets in.

When leaving, Guan Cheng was about to dig up the rocks, but Xi Bao shook his head fiercely, "Don't dig, don't dig!"

"Why?" Guan Cheng asked.

Xi Bao didn't say, "Just don't peel it open, just don't peel it open!"

It was not a big deal, so Guan Cheng and others did not dig up the stones on both sides.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

When they got home, the brothers sorted the fish according to their species and put them into buckets and basins. The largest black fish weighed more than four pounds, and the smallest white water fish was no bigger than a finger. Most of them were still alive and kicking.

Except for the head and spine, the meat of black carp and catfish has no bones and is delicious. When cooking them for children, adults don't have to worry about them getting choked by fish bones. White water meal and small crucian carp are more troublesome to handle, so Feng Qingxue separated two big carps and three larger grass carps and asked Guan Cheng to send them to the relocated elderly people as snacks. The black carp, catfish and remaining live fish were kept in water tanks and buckets, and the dead fish and white water meal were handled first.
