But it was very good of the four children not to do it themselves.
"I'll go ask Comrade Cheng Yue."
Since the children want to eat winter fish, they have to satisfy them.
She told Cheng Yue about this, and Cheng Yue also became interested. "I haven't broken the ice to catch fish for many years. When I was a child, I often went fishing when I had nothing to eat. My elder brother and I have experience in this. I'll go find my elder brother, you guys wait."
After discussing for a while, the two brothers took their tools and called Su Qianqian and the five children.
"You must be obedient and don't run around, otherwise you may fall into the ice hole. If that happens, you will get seriously ill even if you are rescued, and you may not be able to be rescued. I'm not trying to scare you, I'm saying this seriously." Cheng Yue said to the three kids.
The three little ones immediately nodded seriously. This was the way the four of them, father and son, got along with each other. As long as Cheng Yue spoke seriously, they would not make trouble and would listen carefully.
Chu Luo and Chuan Chuan also immediately promised not to run around.
"Take the hot water bottle with you. You'll be out for a long time and it will be cold." Cheng Yue was most concerned about his wife. He handed a hot water bottle filled with hot water to Su Qianqian and said, "These gloves are not thick enough. Change them to thicker ones. And wear a hat too."
Soon Su Qianqian was wrapped up like a dumpling by Cheng Yue. It was difficult for her to walk because it was so heavy.
"I'm not that cold." Su Qianqian said helplessly.
"You'll know in a moment."
A group of people set off in a mighty procession.
Many rivers here are frozen, but the ice on some of them is too thin to walk on, and there is a risk of falling in.
Cheng Song and Cheng Yue are more professional in this area. They know where the ice is thicker and can also see it.
Su Qianqian couldn't see anything, so she just followed behind.
When she arrived at the place, she became excited when she saw the thick layer of ice. She had never seen such things in her previous life.
"Do you want to try ice skating first?" Cheng Yue asked Su Qianqian.
Su Qianqian nodded repeatedly. The natural ice rink was very attractive to her.
"Try these skates on and see if they fit you."
"It's a little small, but I can wear it if I squeeze it tight." Su Qianqian said.
"That's fine. It's okay if it's small. Two laps will be enough."
"But, I, I don't really know how to do it." Su Qianqian was trembling and could hardly stand. She had to hold on to Cheng Yue all the time, otherwise she would fall.
"I'll take you."
After changing his shoes, Cheng Yue helped Su Qianqian onto the ice.
"Ah!" Su Qianqian lost her balance and almost fell, and was caught by Cheng Yue.
Her heart was pounding with fear. “It’s a good thing, otherwise I would have fallen badly.” My butt would have been broken for sure.
"I'm here, so you won't fall. Don't worry, even if you fall, I'll be your cushion."
In the sunlight, his eyes were dark and bright, which made Su Qianqian feel at ease immediately. She could completely give herself to him and he would never let her get hurt.
Under Cheng Yue's guidance, Su Qianqian gradually found the feeling. She used to need to hold on with both hands, but later she only needed to hold on with one hand to slide. She was very happy.
Several children also went skating under Cheng Song's leadership and had a lot of fun.
After waiting for almost everything to be done, we started digging the hole.
"The ice here is quite thick, so it's safer to break it here. You can't jump next time, and you have to be careful when you walk." Cheng Yue warned.
They dug four holes. The ice caves were cold, but it couldn't stop the children's excitement. They couldn't help but lie down at the entrance of the hole to see if there were any fish below.
"Fish, I saw fish, there were really fish." Erbao said excitedly.
"I have some fish food here, throw some down and see." Chuanchuan brought the fish food over. They put some down and saw the fish coming to eat. They were very happy to see it.
"Okay, come here, let's get the net down." Cheng Yue and Cheng Song put the fishing net down, "These two holes are for the fishing net, and these two holes are for fishing."
Fishing in winter has its own unique flavor.
At this time, Su Qianqian finally understood what Cheng Yue meant by "You'll know in a while". It was really cold after staying here for a long time. Even with the hot water bottle stuffed inside her clothes, it was no longer that warm. Fortunately, the gloves she wore were thick enough, otherwise she would have frozen to death.
He quickly took out the thermos and poured a cup of hot water for everyone, and added spiritual spring water to the hot water to keep out the cold.
After everyone drank a cup, they immediately felt warmer.
"It's only an hour. Catch whatever you can. If you can't catch anything, leave. Otherwise, everyone will freeze to death. As for the two nets, leave them here and come back tomorrow to get them."
Cheng Yue and Cheng Song were fishing, and the five children were looking on eagerly.
"Do you think it was my uncle or my dad who fished it out first?" Erbao asked.
"Let's make a bet, fifty cents," Chuanchuan suggested.
"Okay, okay, I'll bet on uncle!" Erbao did not support his father, but supported Cheng Song instead.
"I bet on Dad." Daya and Sanya chose Cheng Yue.
Chu Luo thought about it and chose Cheng Yue, and Chuan Chuan chose his father, so it was two to three.
"You can also bet on who catches more fish," Su Qianqian suggested.
The five children continued to raise the bet.
About ten minutes later, Cheng Song caught the first fish. Everyone cheered, "It's caught, it's caught!"
"Brother Chuanchuan, we won!" Erbao hugged Chuanchuan happily.
Originally we planned to fish for an hour, but it was really cold, and Cheng Yue and Cheng Song were doing pretty well, so we caught several fish in half an hour, so we didn't need to fish any more.
"I have three here." Cheng Song said.
"Four!" Cheng Yue said with a smile.
Cheng Yue won the quantity competition, and Erbao and Chuanchuan lost all the money they had just won, and all their work was in vain.
They hurried back, their eyebrows and eyelashes covered with white frost, looking like old grandfathers.
"Seven fish! You guys are awesome!" Cheng Youmin regretted not going. He hadn't gone fishing for a long time.
"I'll make two fish tonight." Su Qianqian smiled, "I'll make pickled fish for you. Mom, make some pickled cabbage and pickled radish."
"good."
There were seven fish, several of which were black carp. Black carp is very good for making sauerkraut fish, as it has few bones and delicious meat.
"Warm yourself up first, don't rush." Cheng Yue was worried that Su Qianqian would catch a cold, so he pulled her over to warm herself by the fire. He didn't feel relieved until they had warmed up for a long time.
The three little ones watched helplessly as their dad tried to keep their mom warm in various ways, completely ignoring them.
Alas...it turns out that mom and dad are true love, and the three of them are accidents.
Erbao couldn't help but start making trouble, "Dad, I'm so cold too, please warm me up." He said coquettishly.
Cheng Yue frowned, "Your sister and younger sister haven't said anything, why are you saying you're cold?"
Oh no! What a mistake!
"My elder sister and younger sister are so cold. Dad, please warm them up. It's okay for me. I'm just a little man." Erma immediately changed the subject.
Daya and Sanya were suddenly called out, and they didn’t know how to react. Should they disrupt Erbao’s show or argue with their mother? They were so embarrassed!
