"Ah? Little sister, I'm here, wait for me." In his haste, he threw the plastic bucket aside and rushed to her.
He grabbed the handles of the large net from her hands, thinking to himself that it was indeed very heavy. He and his second brother had never seen it this heavy when they came to catch fish and shrimp before.
"Fifth Brother, let's pull the net ashore together." With his help, An Wan breathed a sigh of relief.
If he had been a second slower, the net would have fallen into the river from her hands.
It's really heavy.
She used all her strength but almost couldn't hold on.
The two of them used all their strength and worked in perfect harmony to pull the fishing net ashore little by little.
When the fishing net surfaced, An Wan saw many small fish and shrimp in the mud and sand, and even a large fish weighing two or three pounds.
Lu Zhili saw it too and jumped up with joy. "Ahhh! There's fish! There's a big fish! Wanwan, we'll have meat to eat! Hahaha—"
"Yes, we have meat to eat! Fifth Brother, you're amazing!" She finally felt relieved, as she had been afraid of not catching a single fish.
My body is only five years old right now, so it's too difficult for me to make money.
Even if Lulu makes her own pastries, I don't know if Yunping will believe her.
Moreover, the Lu family is currently broke, and she has no money at all, making it extremely difficult for her to open a pastry shop.
Now all we can do is try our best to catch some fish and shrimp, and catch some pheasants to treat the Lu family.
Thanks to An Wan and Lu Zhili's efforts, the fishing net was finally pulled ashore. Countless fish and shrimp were jumping around in the mud and sand, splashing mud and water everywhere.
She wasn't angry; instead, she smiled happily. "Fifth Brother, quickly bring the bucket; we need to collect fish and shrimp."
After saying that, she grabbed it with both hands.
"Wow, so many shrimp, little sister! How come there are so many?" Lu Zhili was curious. In the past, whenever he and his second brother came to catch fish and shrimp, they could only catch a little bit, not even enough to fill their teeth.
He sees others doing the same thing.
But when it reached my sister's hands, she caught a huge amount of fish and shrimp.
That's really strange.
"Oh, Fifth Brother, don't think too much about it. As long as we have meat for dinner, that's fine. Maybe it's because not many people have come to catch fish and shrimp lately that I was able to catch so many today."
An Wan looked up at him and smiled, holding up a large carp weighing two or three pounds to show him. "A big fish! Fifth Brother, we've had a great harvest this time! Hahaha—"
She didn't care about all that; as long as she had a harvest and meat to eat, that was enough.
"Oh, oh, yeah! As long as there's meat to eat, that's fine." Lu Zhili was called out by her words; he had been trying too hard and stubbornly to think things through earlier.
My sister is right. As long as we have meat to eat tonight, we shouldn't worry about anything else.
Braised fish and boiled shrimp—they sound delicious!
With drool dripping from his mouth, he ran to a spot not far away to find the plastic bucket he had thrown into the bushes.
"Little sister, the bucket's here! Quick, put the big fish in! Hahaha—"
"Um."
An Wan threw the big fish in. Luckily, the plastic bucket was big enough, otherwise it would have been troublesome if it couldn't even fit one big fish.
Lu Zhili also squatted down and picked up small fish and shrimp with An Wan.
The two competed to see who was faster and who could collect more, and had a lot of fun.
Both of their faces were dirty.
They didn't mind that their hands were covered in mud, black and grimy, even under their fingernails.
If it were anyone else, they would definitely be disgusted to the point of vomiting.
Finally, they caught all the small fish and shrimp in the net. When An Wan looked up, she saw that Lu Zhili's face was so dirty that she couldn't recognize him. He looked like a little beggar.
He chuckled, "Fifth Brother, you look like a little beggar, hahaha—"
He looked up and saw several black marks on her face, making her look just like a little kitten.
He couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Little sister, your face is dirty too, like a big tabby cat. Hahaha—"
"Really?" An Wan rubbed her face with the back of her hand, but the more she rubbed, the dirtier it became. "Hehehe—"
Seeing Lu Zhili smiling so happily, she no longer cared about whether her face was dirty or not.
As long as he's happy, that's enough.
The two laughed for several minutes before stopping, almost laughing until their stomachs hurt.
