We worked on it until three in the afternoon, when we finally found some rocks and blocked the two ice holes. We were worried that someone might accidentally step on them and break a bone.
Actually, after the extensive autumn fishing, there really weren't many fish in the river. Anyway, after tinkering for so long, and with Ye Zhiqiu having made so much food for the nest, he probably caught about ten kilograms of fish.
For lunch, Ye Wubing and his friends went back to get some steamed buns. Since they had caught so many fish, everyone wanted to catch more. However, they were out of fish. They hadn't caught anything in an hour, so they went home so early.
After returning home, everyone was very happy to see that although the fish were not big, there were a considerable number of them.
Wang Xiaolan picked out the fish and wanted to get two better ones, and asked Ye Zhiqiu to send them to Feng Xiaomei.
But after selecting the fish, Ye Zhiqiu was not ready to set off.
She asked curiously, "Son, didn't you say you were going to send some fish to Xiaomei? Why aren't you leaving yet?"
Ye Zhiqiu chuckled and whispered, "Mom, I'll leave later. I don't want to rush back tonight. It's not good to go too early."
Wang Xiaolan immediately understood what he said and smiled happily. She seemed to have seen her grandson waving at her!
The mother and son spoke so quietly that no one could hear what they said. They just thought she was laughing out loud because she was happy about Ye Zhiqiu's good catch.
The fish was frozen solid, so a group of people went to the kitchen to thaw the fish, and then processed the fish. In the evening, they fried the fish with chili sauce and had it.
Fish are valuable now. What surprised Ye Zhiqiu was that neither Wang Xiaolan nor the people from the Qian family had any intention of selling the fish!
He just divided the fish and let Qian Dafu and the others take it home.
When he returned to the living room, Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but be curious and asked Qian Dafu, "Uncle Qian, what are you going to do with these fish?"
Qian Dafu said happily, "Let's take a basket or bucket and hang the fish at the door. That way we can store them and protect them from rats!"
Ye Tianya agreed and said, "Yes, this method is quite suitable. We will also store ours this way."
Wang Fugui warned: "Remember to cover it well, otherwise something will come to it and scratch it. If you cover it well, you won't be afraid."
Ye Zhiqiu asked curiously, "No, you haven't thought about selling fish?"
Ye Tianya waved his hand and replied, "Well, what are you selling? Supplies are so scarce right now. No matter how much money you make, you can't buy anything that can replenish your nutrition. Why bother selling it for money?"
Unexpectedly, Qian Dafu also thought so. He smiled and said, "That's right, things are not easy to get these days! Nephew, I'm not like you, who knows so many friends who are good at tinkering. I'll keep this fish to cook from time to time, and it can also provide nutrition for the reinforcements and Xiaofang. How can I bear to sell it!"
Ye Zhiqiu realized that he was wrong, and extremely wrong!
He always thought that people who were short of money or poor would sell anything that could make money.
If it were in the past, the Qian family would definitely sell the fish they were given, because they were short of food and had to make money to exchange for food in order to survive.
But now they have a ration. I can't say they are not short of food, but at least they have enough to eat and wear! So naturally, what they pursue is no longer money, but the health of their families.
In this day and age, if you want to be healthy, you simply have to get enough nutrition, and fish is a way to supplement protein. Naturally, I was reluctant to sell it, but kept it for my two children to use to nourish their bodies.
After figuring this out, Ye Zhiqiu smiled and nodded, saying, "Hey, I was obsessed with money. I really should save it for nutrition!"
Wang Fugui laughed heartily and said, "Haha, if you're not a father, you don't know how a father feels! He would want to pick all the stars and the moon in the sky for his children..."
Father's love is like a mountain, mother's love is like water. Ye Zhiqiu had heard these words before, so he didn't think they were wrong.
But Wang Fugui was once the one who wanted to pick the stars and the moon for his children...
At five o'clock, Ye Zhiqiu rode his bicycle out in the cold wind. There were two fish and ten eggs wrapped in a sack in the basket.
This was something Wang Xiaolan strongly requested Ye Zhiqiu to bring over, and she also reminded Ye Zhiqiu to tell his future daughter-in-law that it was his mother who asked him to send it over.
It was normal to take credit for something, and Ye Zhiqiu understood and supported it. Wang Xiaolan simply wanted to have a better relationship with her future daughter-in-law and be more attentive to her.
So after Ye Zhiqiu left Sanlitun, he put the things into the space, and then prepared other things. When the time comes, he will say that Wang Xiaolan asked him to send them over to help his cheap mother improve her favor.
However, whether it is her girlfriend Feng Xiaomei or her mother-in-law Chen Yuqing, they both get along very well with Wang Xiaolan!
Because Wang Xiaolan was eloquent and good at reading people's expressions in the countryside, she could chat harmoniously with them. Moreover, her enthusiasm made Feng Xiaomei a little flustered.
The cold wind was blowing, and this awful weather was really exhausting. Ye Zhiqiu, who had been riding his bike enthusiastically when he set out, now slowed down because of the cold.
The faster you ride, the colder the wind becomes like a knife, and no matter how thick your clothes are, they can't withstand it.
By the time Ye Zhiqiu arrived at the gate of the compound, his teeth were chattering from the cold. When he went to register, the guard recognized him.
"Hahaha, what were you thinking, brother? Riding a bicycle in this kind of weather, you're so smart! Come in and warm up, I really admire you. After all, we all come to work on our legs...hahaha"
It took Ye Zhiqiu a while to recover. He took off his rabbit leather gloves, took out a cigarette tremblingly, and after passing it around to the four of them, he lit it with the help of the fire.
"I didn't expect it to be so cold today... I was riding a bike yesterday, and it wasn't this cold..."
"Are you stupid? The snow is melting today, so it's definitely going to be a little colder. There's more moisture in the air, so the wind will feel different when it blows on you!"
After chatting and laughing for a while, Feng Xiaomei, who was wrapped tightly, walked out quickly. Ye Zhiqiu quickly put out the cigarette, walked out quickly and supported Feng Xiaomei.
He said unhappily, "Xiaomei, why are you walking so fast? It makes me nervous just watching you. What if you fall?"
Feng Xiaomei smiled and said, "Haha, I'm not afraid. I'm wearing so much clothing, so I didn't feel any pain even after falling just now. Okay, let's not talk about this for now. We'll talk about it after we finish registering and get home."
The word "go home" gave Ye Zhiqiu a start!
Yes! I will have a family soon!
It’s not that he doesn’t approve of the Ye family, but this is the first time in his two lifetimes that he is preparing to get married and have his own little family!
Feng Xiaomei quickly completed the registration procedures, and the two of them snuggled together shoulder to shoulder. Ye Zhiqiu pushed the bicycle with his side hand and slowly walked inside.
