When it was getting dark, it was time to put away the fishing rod. Northwest Feng also got up to put away his own fishing rod. As soon as she lifted the rod, she heard a "whoosh" sound. She didn't know why, but because she was nervous, she grabbed the fishing rod tightly with both hands and shouted: "Husband, husband..."
Yang Liufang also heard the sound of the tangent. Li Tongfu was standing behind Liu Xia and it was too late, but Yang Liufang threw down the half-collected fishing rod and hurriedly jumped over and hugged Northwest Feng from behind and helped her pull the fishing rod. After suffering pain, the underwater fish began to wander around in the river, and the surrounding fishermen also gathered around to watch the fun.
"Yeah, this one is big."
"This one is big, probably a carp."
"I guess it's a bastard (the southern name for grass carp). You see, it keeps diving into the water."
"You two, don't stand still. Move back and walk it to the shore." A fishing expert gave instructions from behind.
Northwest Feng caught a big fish for the first time. In addition, he had been competing with giants in the water and was being watched by people. At this moment, his face was red and his ears were red, and there were fine beads of sweat on the tip of his nose. After listening to the master's words, Yang Liufang whispered to Northwest Feng: "Wife, don't be nervous, listen to others, let's slowly retreat together."
Northwest Feng nodded obediently, and the two of them retreated to the open area on the shore in a coordinated manner, just like they were dancing a ballroom dance. In the open area, I finally don't have to worry about falling into the water. As the fish exerts its force and sways in a coordinated manner, there is a sudden "pop" sound and the fish begins to explode into the water.
"You bastard, you bastard, I saw it."
"It must be four or five pounds."
"No energy, no energy."
"Slip away for a while, and you'll be honest after choking a few times." Onlookers were passing on their experience.
Yang Liufang was also tired, but he didn't dare to let go for fear of dragging Northwest Feng down. The fish tossed in the water for a while and began to float under the water's surface.
"Raise the pole, raise the pole, let it raise its head and choke the water." The professional started to give instructions again, and the two of them raised their hands with all their strength. After the fish suffered pain, it began to fry the water again. Northwest Feng closed his eyes nervously and lowered his head, but did not dare to relax his hands. Li Tongfu had already borrowed a fishing net from a nearby fishing friend and stood waiting at Beifeng's original fishing position. Liu Xia was also clenching her fists and nervously shouting cheers to her brother and sister-in-law. As the fish struggled around, she couldn't stop screaming.
When the two raised their hands and couldn't bear the strength, the fish began to raise its head again and again. After taking a few sips of water, I no longer had the strength to struggle. Just as Li Tongfu was about to copy it, Liu Xia shouted from behind: "Brother, brother, I'll do it."
After hearing this, Li Tongfu hurriedly gave her the fishing net, chose a position for her, and told her the essentials of fishing.
"Xiaoxia, I want to steal my head."
"Your brother and sister-in-law have worked hard for a long time to be honest. It will be a joke if you copy them and run away." Someone joked from behind.
Liu Xia grabbed the fishing net with both hands, slowly lowered the net head into the water, and lifted the fish into the net pocket with one stroke towards the fish's head. The two finally relaxed. Northwest Feng let go and fell into Yang Liufang's arms. Yang Liufang was so tired that his arms were shaking. Li Tongfu took off the hook from the net bag, grabbed the gills with one hand and the tail with the other, and put the big grass carp into the bucket.
"This is five pounds."
"What? Five pounds? More than eight pounds."
"Would you like to bet?"
"Afu, can you sell this fish?"
"No, no, brother, we are waiting to be cooked at home. Hahaha..."
Seeing that there were a few elderly people watching the excitement around, Li Tongfu asked Beifeng and Liu Xia to share the small crucian carp in the bucket with the old people, while he kept two large ones to make soup at home.
On the way back, Li Tongfu carried forward the spirit of his elder brother and walked back with the fishing rod himself, while Liu Xia drove Yang Liufang and Northwest Feng home. The three of them were extremely excited in the car, especially because it was Northwest Feng's first time fishing and he actually caught such a big fish. They couldn't help but sing in the car: "The sunset is red and the mountains are flying, and the soldiers are returning to camp from target practice."
"Breaking camp and returning..." Yang Liufang and Liu Xia harmonized.
When they got home, the old people were even more delighted when they heard that it was caught by Northwest Feng. They dismissed the three brothers and sisters, saying that three people who grew up in a water town were not as good as someone who was fishing for the first time.
"Godmother, that's the novice effect. You can always catch a big one when fishing for the first time."
"Abba, that big fish won't eat my hook." Liu Xia made random excuses.
"Master's wife, she is a blind cat and a dead mouse."
"Bah, bah, it's just Chinese New Year, you're talking nonsense."
"Mom, you sprayed spit on my face."
"Hey, you little bastard, why haven't you eaten the rice I chewed? Go and kill the fish for me with your brother." Mother Yang was half angry, half joking, and ordered him and Ah Fu to go Kill fish.
Yang Liufang and Ah Fu carried buckets to the pool. In Yang Liufang's opinion, didn't they just kill a fish? I learned carpentry by myself, and I was very good with planers, chisels, and saws. No matter how hard the wood was, I could cut it into the required size with the tools, let alone kill a fish with a knife. As a result, the two brothers were at the pool. Li Tongfu was holding the fish while he scraped its scales. But the fish seemed to have regained its strength, and seemed to be struggling for its life. It made the two of them sweat profusely, and their bodies were covered with fish mucus, and only a few scales were scraped off. When the two beauties saw their embarrassed looks, they couldn't help but laugh at them.
"Oh, you two are stupid."
"It's just two grown men who can't even kill a fish."
The master couldn't see or hear them screaming in the yard. He walked over with a hammer and asked them to get out of the way. Then he muttered to the fish, saying something like "You are a life, but you will be a meal on the plate." . Then he tapped the fish's head lightly, and the fish immediately stopped struggling. He found a homemade file and scraped off the fish scales in three strokes. Yang's father took scissors and gutted the fish. He quickly cleaned it up and waited for Yang's mother and his wife to go to the kitchen to cook one fish and three meals.
For dinner, the family had a great time eating fish fillets, braised fish nuggets, fish dumplings, and drinking fresh crucian carp soup. When eating fresh fish in the New Year, everyone praises it because of Northwest Feng.
Yang Liufang suggested at the dinner table that he should take his family to visit Wenzhou City on the third day of the Lunar New Year. Father Yang and Mother Yang responded that although Master, Master, Wife and Liu Xia had lived in the city for nearly four years, they had been busy making furniture to make ends meet. Liu Xia also had a busy high school life at three o'clock and one line. She had never gone shopping, and she wanted to Go and see the New Year celebrations in the city. Yang Liufang had almost never left Yueqing County when he was living in his hometown, let alone Northwest Feng. If he hadn't fallen in love with Yang Liufang, he probably would never have come to this southern city in his life. Only Li Tongfu had stayed in Wenzhou City when he was traveling around as a small businessman selling leather shoes, but that was six years ago. Besides, no matter how strong a person is, he cannot measure a medium-sized city with his feet, so his recognition of Wenzhou City Knowledge is also very little.
The family agreed. After the meal, Yang Liufang made a call to Mr. Liu of Wenzhou Furniture Mall. He first wished him a happy New Year, and then the other party asked how Yang Liufang's family was doing. Then Yang Liu just said that he had an unkind request. He wanted to use a car to take his parents to the city during the Chinese New Year.
"Hey, what did I think? You are so polite. I agree, one hundred and twenty. Brother, let me tell you, when doing business with me, partners must be filial first. I will not cooperate with those who are not filial. He cooperates. Do you think a person who is not filial to his own parents will still value his partners? Don't worry, the car will arrive in front of your house on time at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. Is one car enough? If not, I will arrange another one vehicle."
"You've learned a lesson, brother. That's enough, that's enough. The Chamber of Commerce has arranged a transportation vehicle."
"Ah That's good."
Yang Liufang hung up the phone. Because it was on speakerphone, his parents were also moved after hearing this. They asked them to work with Mr. Liu to renovate the house. Mr. Liu came in person three times, each time bringing a lot of things. The elderly were also very happy. I like this Mr. Liu.
At eight o'clock the next morning, a Santana car arrived at the door of Yang's house on time. The driver didn't even take a sip of water and headed back. Yang Liufang gave the driver a big ticket and asked his elder brother to drive him to town. When Ah Fu came back, a family of eight people drove to Wenzhou City in two cars.
While driving along, Yang Liufang saw that Wenzhou's street shops have developed very well in recent years. Although the signboards are not unified, the signs with various artistic calligraphy are also very eye-catching. There are still very few buildings, and even if they are there, they are three-story brick buildings scattered in twos and threes facing the street. Looking along the way, there seems to be only one seven-story building that is more conspicuous. This is a landmark building in Wenzhou. It’s just that there seemed to be more vehicles on the road than in the city of Xizhou. At that time, there was no concept of independent sidewalks. It was also the Chinese New Year, and city dwellers were not like those in the countryside where they could go fishing or visit other places. Everyone’s leisure time was shopping and watching movies. , shopping, finding a restaurant to eat. This causes pedestrians and vehicles to be crowded together on the street, especially the hatchback Fiat, which blends in with the crowd and drives slowly. Sometimes you can see four cars in a row. If you don't pay attention, you might think it is a convoy of a wedding.
"Brother, this car is called Fiat. Have you heard? There are only more than 6,000 in the country, and we have 4,000 in Wenzhou City."
"No wonder I saw so many along the way."
"Husband, this is more prosperous than Xizhou City."
"Well, we used to be poor here, with less land and more people. There were more people going out to do business to make a living. When I went out, some families had already started family-style production. Now they have become well-known large enterprises in the country. People like those living in The owner of Yongtai Electric Nan in our village and his family, my master and I even ordered wooden shipping boxes for them back then. The accumulation in the early stage accelerated the development of the business."
"No, there are also Red Dragonfly leather shoes. When I was their sales manager, it was also a family workshop. The family had two sewing machines for making shoes, and the leather shoes they produced were not branded. When we went to Xizhou, we just said we wanted to make a brand. Now I see that every major shopping mall has its counters.”
The car continued to move forward, and there was a group of people in front of it who lined up on the road. They stopped and took a look at it with the mentality of watching the excitement. It turned out that the White Deer Cinema was screening the New Year's blockbuster "Conquering the Death Zone". The banner with white characters on the red background was particularly eye-catching, and The entrance to the shopping mall downstairs is also crowded with people. Yang Liufang asked Northwest Feng beside him: "Want to watch a movie?"
"It doesn't look good, dear. I think if there is a Hong Kong movie called "Happy Events in the Family," you can watch it."
"Then I'll go down and ask." Li Tongfu said, opening the door and getting out of the car. At this time, Liu Xia came to the front of the car from the back and asked why he parked his car.
"Bei Xi Feng wants to watch the Hong Kong and Taiwan film "Happy Events in the Family"."
