"Brother, brother, you guys get ready. I'll go back to prepare things. Godfather, godmother, goodbye." Qiao Mo stood up and said goodbye to Wu Yuanxin and his wife.
"Go ahead, be careful." Wu Yuanxin waved his hand at her and asked her to go ahead.
"Got it, don't worry, godfather. I'm a good swimmer."
Qiao Mo returned home and first took out the net from the bungalow in the space. Then he went back to his room to change his clothes. He put on an old cotton jacket and a pair of work pants, and changed his shoes into Liberation shoes.
"Little sister, we are here." Qiao Mo was ready and about to go out when he heard Wu Weijin's call.
"I'm coming." Qiao Mo responded loudly.
“We brought buckets.”
"I understand." Qiao Mo put down the metal bucket in his hand and picked up the net.
Half an hour later, the three siblings took a shuttle bus to the river.
"Brother, brother, let's go downstream." Qiao Mo saw many old men sitting on the river bank fishing and didn't want to disturb them.
Brother Wu Weiqian nodded and followed her downstream until they came to a river bend with a slow current.
"Let's put a net here and see how it goes." Qiao Mo took out the net from the bag, straightened it out, pulled the net, spread it out, and then pulled it up.
"Wow, so many small fish and shrimps." Wu Weijin shouted in surprise when he saw the fish and shrimps at the bottom of the net.
"Hurry, hurry up and put these into the bucket." Wu Weiqian didn't expect that he could actually catch fish, so he quickly squatted down and caught the fish and shrimp into the bucket.
"Little sister, you have a good skill in casting the net."
"When I was a child, I watched my father cast a net." Neither Qiao Mo nor the original owner had ever cast a net. It was just that materials were scarce in this era. In order to provide nutrition for his wife and daughter, Qiao Chengsong specially made a net. Whenever he had time, he would come to the river to catch fish. She figured out how to use the net from her memories, and she just tried it today. She didn't expect it to really work.
"Little sister, please teach me." After catching all the fish and shrimp into the bucket, Wu Weijin was eager to try.
"Pull the rope with your left hand, and then pull the net..." Seeing his enthusiasm, Qiao Mo carefully explained to him how to cast the net and what he needed to pay attention to.
"Let me try." Wu Weijin said he understood and cast the net according to Qiao Mo's instructions. Unfortunately, the net didn't spread out and he couldn't catch any fish. "How could this happen?"
Qiao Mo pointed out his mistake and asked him to continue casting the net. After repeating this four or five times, he finally caught a fish.
In Wu Weiqian's next practice, he was calmer than Wu Weijin, and having learned from his brother's lessons, he succeeded on the first try. He not only caught a lot of small fish and shrimps, but also a big eel.
"Brother, catch a few more and let's go back to ask Dad to cook soft eels for us."
"You are too fanciful. You are lucky to have caught one." Wu Weiqian glanced at his brother and said.
"It doesn't matter if it's gone. This eel can be used to make stir-fried eel slices." Qiao Mo said with a smile.
"If nothing works, just make stir-fried eel slices." Wu Weijin also knew that it was unlikely to catch eels again, so he could only settle for the next best thing.
Then the three brothers and sisters took turns casting the net, and they played until the sun was about to set before they returned home with a bucket of small fish and shrimp.
