Before Li Qiming left, he said meaningfully to Zhao Xue beside him:
"Zhao Xue, you are also an old educated youth. Lin Ranran has only been here for a year and doesn't understand many things. Don't you understand them either?"
Zhao Xue came to the countryside in the same year as Li Qiming and has been in Lianhua Village for five years.
I may not understand the other person's temper and personality 100%, but I have a rough idea of it.
Li Qiming was deliberately trying to make trouble for Zhao Xue, telling her not to cause trouble.
Zhao Xue was a person who valued face very much. How could she bear to hear Li Qiming say that? She directly said:
"Li Qiming, if you want to be a peacemaker, that's your business, don't involve me.
Besides, the mouth is on a person's body. Besides eating, isn't it used for talking? Stop being so sarcastic."
After saying that, Zhao Xue deliberately taunted Li Qiming loudly.
Seeing that Zhao Xue was a lesbian, Li Qiming didn't want to argue with her in public, so he sighed and went back to work.
Mai Sui knew nothing about what was going on here.
In just over ten minutes, she had caught three grass carp.
The largest one weighs seven or eight kilograms, and the smallest one weighs three or four kilograms.
To be precise, it was not caught by fishing, but by the wheat ears being hooked by throwing the hook hard.
The cotton hanging on the fishhook is just for show; the real skill lies in the "internal skills" of the wheat ears.
Thinking that three fish would be enough to eat, Mai Sui stuck one end of the fishing rod into the soil and threw the hook into the river, hoping that someone would take the bait.
He lay down on the bamboo chair, rocking comfortably while reading a dictionary.
The cool river breeze blowing in your face is so pleasant.
Suddenly, a group of children from the village came to Wheat Ear.
They were tired of picking rice, and when they saw the wheat ears over here, they came over to join in the fun.
As a result, they saw three fish in the bucket and the children cheered immediately.
"Oh, look, there's a fish! The fool really caught a fish!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mai Sui gave the kid a big slap: "Who are you calling a fool? You are the fool!"
The child rubbed his head and pouted in grievance, but ultimately he couldn't resist the temptation of the fish. He stood stubbornly beside the bucket, unwilling to leave.
When the other children saw this, they were a little scared, fearing that Mai Sui would go crazy and hit people.
But after hitting the child, Mai Sui lay back on the bamboo chair.
Only then did everyone feel at ease to watch the fish.
Someone else reached into the bucket to try to catch the fish: "I caught it, I caught it, hahahaha."
"I caught one, too. This one is the biggest. Look!"
Mai Sui looked at the little kids playing with her fish and said nothing.
These fish will die in a few hours anyway, so it doesn’t matter if you play with them now.
The six-year-old Maoqiu bravely asked Mai Sui: "Did you catch this? How did you catch it? Can I catch it too?"
When the other children heard this, they all turned around and looked at the wheat ears expectantly with their big round eyes.
They also want to eat fish. If they can learn how to fish, they can eat fish every day in the future.
Since he had nothing to do, Mai Sui stood up and demonstrated to them how to "fish".
"Children, watch out!"
She just cast the hook and quickly pulled it back, and a fish was caught.
This time, what was caught was a catfish, which looked to weigh more than ten pounds.
The children jumped up and cheered excitedly:
"Wow! That's amazing! Can you do it again? I couldn't see it clearly just now."
"Okay, I'll show you one more time. Watch it carefully this time. This is the last time!"
It was agreed to be the last time, but amid the children's sincere flattery, Mai Sui cast the rod three times in a row.
The wheat ears did not stop until the bucket was full.
The children were very excited and their cheers were getting louder and louder.
Mai Sui also gave them bamboo poles and taught them how to fish.
But they were young and didn't have much strength, let alone the magical skills like Mai Sui, so naturally they couldn't catch any fish.
But everyone was very excited and enjoyed learning. They only stopped when their arms were sore.
Seeing this, Mai Sui said, "Kid, you can't do this."
The children accepted it humbly: "Well, I can't do it. I'll go get my dad."
"By the way, call Mai Laosan and Mai Hongcai to come over and ask them to take these fish back."
"Great~"
The children are now full of admiration for Mai Sui. It is just a small matter to ask someone to run errands.
It was time to get off work.
The children ran happily in the fields, shouting loudly as they ran:
"Dad, come with me to the river. Sister Mai Sui has caught a lot of fish. Catch one for me too."
"Dad, you should go too. If Sister Mai Sui can do it, you can do it too!"
"Mom, I want to eat fish, too. Why don't you try it too?"
"Uncle Mai San, Sister Mai Sui wants you and Brother Hong Cai to go to the river to get some fish. There are a lot of them."
When Mai Laosan and Mai Hongcai heard the news, they ran away very quickly.
The children have learned their lesson now and no longer call Wheat Ear a fool.
Maoqiu: Sister Mai Sui is so powerful. If she is a fool, then what are we?
After hearing the children's shouting, some villagers became curious and followed them to the river.
Li Qiming and the others also heard it, and since they were so close, they naturally wanted to take a look.
If the fish are really that easy to catch, they will come fishing tomorrow when they have time.
God knows how much they crave meat.
During the past six months, Mai Sui picked up a wild boar last time, and the village distributed a pound of pork to the educated youth.
Otherwise, the last time I ate meat was during the Chinese New Year last year.
Soon, people surrounded Mai Sui.
To be precise, there were people crowded around the bucket.
As soon as Mai Laosan arrived, he acted like a big shot: "Make way, this is my fish, let me go first!"
There were nine fish in the bucket, which was almost full. Some of them were flapping their wings violently, splashing water all over the people around them.
But everyone was happy and didn't mind.
Mai Laosan and Mai Hongcai were overjoyed, as they indeed got to eat meat by following their daughter (sister).
Seeing this, Ma Weimin, a barefoot doctor in the village, said with a smile:
"Mai Lao San, can you finish all these fish? Why don't you give me one and I'll trade it for your eggs."
As the only doctor in the village, Ma Weimin is still very prestigious.
Mai Laosan didn't want to refuse him, so after asking Mai Sui's opinion, he agreed.
Ma Weimin took the lead, and the others followed suit, changing three at once.
No one exchanged the remaining ones because everyone thought that since wheat ears could catch fish, they could too, so there was no need to waste eggs.
The children also said, "Fishing is easy. I saw Sister Mai Sui just cast the bait twice and the fish took the bait. Dad, why don't you try it now!"
At the children's request, Mai Sui demonstrated it again to everyone.
I saw a big, lively crucian carp being easily caught by the flick and pull of the wheat ears.
This time, not only the children cheered, but even the villagers were amazed.
So Maoqiu's father went up to try it.
Naturally, nothing was caught.
Maoqiu comforted him: "Dad, it's okay, you may not be familiar with it yet, just try a few more times, Sister Mai Sui said, you have to swing it hard!"
"Okay, I'll try harder!"
Maoqiu's father tried more than ten times, and finally used all his strength, but still didn't catch anything.
Maoqiu finally accepted the reality and said with disgust: "Dad, I didn't expect you to be useless. You are not even as good as Sister Mai Sui."
Maoqiu's father: ...
"You bastard, I think you're looking for a fight!"
