Li Laifu and three others dug up a few earthworms under the big tree, found a riverside, and put their feet directly in the water. The two little kids played with their bare buttocks in the water, and their flour bags were thrown by the river. .
Li Laifu was about to hang the fishhook when Li Tiezhu came over with a child in his arms and said, "Uncle, my little son is coming to play too. You have to keep an eye on me, but I will call you little grandpa. You have to keep an eye on him."
What did you say? Li Laifu pointed at Xiaohu comfortably, and Xiaolong said next to him: "Let them play together! I promise to keep an eye on you."
This child was only five or six years old. He kept shouting: "Grandpa Xiaolong, Grandpa Xiaohu," which made Li Laifu very happy.
"Uncle, you're not fishing with hemp rope, are you?" Only then did Li Tiezhu see Li Laifu's fishing line?
"Why do you care so much? Just do what you have to do?" Li Laifu said impatiently.
"Everyone, come and see, Uncle Fu is actually fishing with a hemp rope and steel needle hook," Li Tiezhu shouted from a distance away.
"You fool, if you talk nonsense again, I will let Xiaohu and Xiaolong beat your son," Li Laifu threatened.
"No, no, no! Uncle, don't be angry. Isn't it okay if I just rest for a while and don't talk?"
Li Laifu tied a stone to the hemp rope and threw it into the river with a splash. His mind followed the fishing line in the river, and suddenly a fish came to tease him.
"Uncle, if you really want to fish, I will go to the next village to borrow a fishing rod for you. You want to fish with a wooden stick and a hemp rope? That's nonsense." Li Tiezhu rolled tobacco leaves in newspapers, and the smoke was like the little one. It looks like a chimney, but this guy keeps talking.
"Don't make any noise."
"Uncle, how about I go now...? Damn it, damn it!"
Li Laifu had already picked up a crucian carp weighing more than one kilogram, threw it on the shore with a bang, and quickly untied the fish. He used his mind to control the hook to pierce the fish's head. He had to be fast, otherwise the hook would have no barbs. , the fish fell off as soon as it struggled.
"Little... uncle, how do you know the fish bites the hook?"
"You're stupid, you didn't see the hemp rope straighten out," Li Laifu said and didn't bother to talk to him.
"Brother, can we take this fish home to eat?" Xiaohu grabbed the fish's mouth and lifted it up and asked.
"You're a greedy cat and you know how to eat. Dig a hole on the side, put some water in it, and keep the fish in it. Brother, catch a few more and we can go home and eat." Li Laifu continued to throw the fishhook into the river. He didn't even look at Li Tiezhu, whose jaw dropped.
"Tiezhu, why are you lazy? Everyone is working, so you still have time to smoke here." Li Tiezhu didn't care who shouted, and continued to look at the river, saying without looking back: "Come on, come on, come on, Wait a minute."
"Holy shit!"
Li Tiezhu shouted again, and Li Laifu caught another carp weighing more than two kilograms.
This time he shouted a little louder, and a group of people downstream happened to be looking at Li Tiezhu.
Suddenly I saw Li Laifu carrying a big fish, and a group of people stopped fetching water and came over to take a look.
"Little Laifu, you are going to become a spirit. You can catch two fish with a wooden stick and a hemp rope," Li Chongwu said.
"Second uncle, don't make any noise," Li Laifu felt a big fish, touched the earthworm and then left.
Everyone was watching. Li Laoliu came over with a pipe in his mouth, and was about to call the group back to fetch water.
Boom, the hemp rope was pulled straight, and Li Laifu's wooden stick was pulled away. The big fish just showed its head and fell down again. This small body is too weak, and it can't fight the fish?
Plop, plop, Li Chongwu and Li Tietie threw themselves into the river. No wonder they were anxious. Li Laifu's wooden stick was dragged away.
With a splash, two more jumped down. Li Tiezhu pulled the wooden stick, and Li Chongwu held the fish, which made Li Chongwu dizzy. "Second uncle, put your hands into the gills of the fish," Li Laoliu shouted from the shore.
Li Laifu looked at the big fish, which weighed about thirty kilograms. This fish was so big that it was basically invincible in the river. What was the fishing line and hook of this era? But he couldn't catch it. If Li Laifu hadn't used a hemp rope, it would have broken in a moment.
With three grown men holding a fish, Li Chongwu had the opportunity to force his hands into the fish's gills.
Li Tiezhu went ashore first and pulled the three people to the shore with the fish by the fishing line.
The big fish landed and everyone gathered around. Li Chongwu had a bloody mark on his arm, but he didn't feel any pain and was very happy.
Someone shouted next to him, and Li Tiezhu and his youngest son said, "Come on, Mao Dan, lie down and compete with this fish to see which one of you is taller."
This fish weighed at least 30 kilograms, which was really heavier than a child. The village chief, Li Laoliu, rubbed his hands and said, "Brother Laifu, this fish...!"
At this time, everyone looked at Li Laifu. He waved his hand and said, "Let's just cook it and give it to everyone. I have two fish here, which will be enough for my grandparents to eat when I go home."
"Thank you, uncle, thank you, uncle!" Li Tiezhu shouted happily.
There were also people shouting, brother, uncle, little grandpa, anyway, they were all thanks.
"Second uncle, you carry the fish to the village gate, and you continue to carry water. When you are finished, you all come to the village gate to drink soup."
Li Laifu held a piece of straw from the river, and two fish passed through his mouth and hung on Bruce Lee's neck.
He could no longer fish. The fishhook had been pulled straight. There were so many people and he couldn't bend it. If Li Chongwu and Li Tiezhu hadn't reacted quickly, the fishhook would have been broken. Li Chongwu held the big fish in the village. After walking by, everyone gathered at the village headquarters.
There are more than 100 people in more than 30 households, but a 30-pound fish is directly served in two large pots, and the fish is divided into two halves. They mainly drink soup and eat fish? More than 100 people can't even get a bite each.
Li Laoliu also bled profusely and brought out half a bowl of oil. Li Laifu thought he was going to cook fish in clear soup again.
"Brother Six, I am responsible for this big fish. Shouldn't you give me some oil?" He didn't want to eat the fish in clear soup made by his grandma anymore. Thinking about the boiled vegetable leaves being mushy, he actually took his chopsticks and put them in the oil jar. If you take a walk around, you'll have to drain the gas.
If Li Laifu hadn't caught this fish, Li Laoliu wouldn't have given him any oil.
Finally, he took a small bowl and poured half of it with a twitching expression at the corner of his mouth.
"This belongs to the public, we won't have it next time," Li Laoliu explained.
"I know, I know! I won't want it next time, cheapskate.
I have already thought about how to make it. I stew the fish soup in the authentic Northeastern way, steam the pumpkin, crush it and add some cornmeal, and steam the big pancakes. He has not eaten a dry meal in the past two days, and the pumpkin is steamed. Big pancakes, sweet and delicious.
At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, every household came out with a bowl and gathered at the entrance of the village branch. Looking at the steaming, white fish soup, everyone was drooling. No one is in poor health these days.
Xiaolong and Xiaohu didn't need anyone else to teach them, they were already standing by with a big bowl.
Li Laifu really likes these two boys and looks happy.
