Chapter 52 Fish in the River



"Can you help me with the laundry?"

Looking at the person who said these rude words in front of her, Lu Xia was speechless. Who gave her the courage to say these words to her? Did he treat her as a servant?

It's totally insane!

Lu Xia refused coldly, "No!"

It seemed that he didn't expect her to refuse so straightforwardly. She looked like an easy target.

Cheng Yujiao paused for a moment, but still didn't give up, "I won't let you help me for nothing, I'll give you ten cents!"

But Lu Xia still refused, "No, find someone else."

Then he just left.

This made Cheng Yujiao behind him feel very angry.

However, after lunch, the female educated youth went to the river to wash clothes while the weather was hot. Then everyone discovered that Yu Fang was washing Cheng Yujiao's clothes, the same ones she wore in the morning.

...

...

Lu Xia raised her eyebrows when she saw this. It seemed that Cheng Yujiao turned to Yu Fang after being rejected by her. Well, she only paid one dime for washing clothes. No wonder Yu Fang agreed. She must have met a sucker.

The reason why Lu Xia refused was that she was not short of money, and secondly, she did not want to have too much contact with Cheng Yujiao, who was obviously a troublemaker. .br>

So I shook my head and stopped thinking about it.

She looked up at the small river in front of her. The river was not big, but not small either. It was about 20 to 30 meters wide, but not deep. She estimated that the deepest part was only up to her thighs.

I don't know if there are any fish in it.

Thinking of this, he directly asked Shen Qingqing next to him.

Shen Qingqing thought for a moment and said, "There should be some. I saw some children in the village catch one, but it wasn't big."

Lu Xia was surprised after hearing this and looked carefully into the river. He saw a school of fish as long as thumbs and as thick as chopsticks swimming by. There were quite a few of them, in groups.

"Is it this?"

Shen Qingqing shook her head. "No, this is a willow root fish. It's too small to catch without a net. I haven't seen anyone in the village with a fishing net, and there's not much meat on it. The fish I saw was the size of a palm. I don't know what it's called, but at least it's big."

"It's so big?" Lu Xia was surprised. "This river is so shallow, but it can still produce such a big fish!"

Shen Qingqing smiled, "Only this section of the river looks shallow. There are very deep places upstream and downstream. It is said that people have drowned there before!"

Shen Qingqing was afraid that Lu Xia would be scared, so she continued the previous topic, "I heard that there are big fish in the deepest part upstream, but no one has ever caught them."

Lu Xia listened thoughtfully.

She didn't dare go to the mountains because she didn't have the halo of a heroine, but she should be fine in the river since she could swim anyway.

When there is a chance, she will try to catch a fish to improve the situation. Otherwise, her mouth has no taste after eating these things every day at the educated youth camp, and she has almost eaten up all the food in the previous space.

She wants to eat meat!

There was some meat stored in the space before, but not much, just a few pounds of pork. She was reluctant to eat it, but now she had already set her sights on the fish in the river.

Lu Xia didn't expect that she would have the opportunity to implement her plan so soon.

Because they had finally finished their weeding work, the next day when they went to work, except for Su Man and Cheng Yujiao who were cutting grass for pigs, everyone else was assigned some odd jobs.

The men probably do physical work like fetching water and watering the fields, while the women help plant and tidy up the village's collective vegetable fields.

There's not much work to do, and there's nothing to do after you finish it.

The work ended early in the afternoon. Some of the educated youth rested in the house, while others went out for a walk. Lu Xia thought of his previous plan and also went out for a walk.
