The river is about two meters wide and originally about one meter deep. Due to heavy rain, the water level has risen and is now about one and a half meters deep.
The river water is clear and you can clearly see many fish swimming in the water.
It must be a fish washed down from the mountain, so fat!
Jiang Yue took out the bamboo baskets and baskets, passed the rope through the "ears", and then lowered them into the water. The rope was wrapped around the big rocks by the river.
She had no fish feed, so she tore up some green vegetable leaves and threw them into the basket.
The fish in this mountain may have "never seen the world" and are a bit stupid, so they dive into the basket stupidly. Jiang Nian moved very quickly and was very strong. He squatted by the river and lifted the basket in one go.
Jiang Yue was a little slower, but there was still something in the basket. Including the 5 fish on his side, he actually caught 7 fish for the first time!
While the fish was still alive, she quickly filled it in the last remaining tub.
Lowering his head and looking at these fish that were still jumping around, he wondered if eating stupid fish would make people stupid.
Jiang Nian became addicted to fishing, so Jiang Yue let him go and let him play by himself.
He also wanted to transform into a wolf and fish in the water, but Jiang Yue stopped him. There is no cover here, so it is easy for people to discover the secret.
Unfortunately, the tub I bought is big enough, but it can’t hold dozens of tubs. It’s full, and with water, it becomes extremely heavy.
She didn't plan to sell it, so she kept it at home and ate it slowly, changing the taste occasionally.
Jiang Yue took out two fish, put them into the basket, and covered them with vegetable leaves. Went to Aunt Yan’s house.
Aunt Yan's family was repairing the leaky roof, and it was quite strange to see them coming over.
The village was full of rumors about the couple, but I didn't seem to care and didn't come out to say a word.
"Xiaoyue, Jiangnian, are you two here to chat?" Aunt Yan joked.
The man from Yangu had dark skin, he was over forty years old, and his muscles were still very strong. He looked at the two young men curiously. I ate their steamed buns before at home, and I still drool when I think about it.
Jiang Yue took out a crucian carp from the basket and wrapped it in leaves to protect her hands. "There was a heavy rain a few days ago, and a lot of fish washed down from the mountains. I sent one to your house to make fish soup to drink and nourish. It was just caught. You can see that the gills of this fish are still moving."
Aunt Yan was surprised. This fish was as big as a man's hand. It could be sold for five or six cents at least, so why did you just send it here? "You guys are having a hard time, how come you keep sending things over again and again..."
Jiang Yue directly stuffed the fish into her hand without saying any nonsense, "Aunt Yan, just take it. When we are not at home in the future, we may have to trouble your family to take a look at it for us." At least don't let anyone hold the door. Broken.
When Aunt Yan heard about this, she said, "Hey! What's so difficult about this? It's just a matter of words, you take the fish back."
Jiang Yue felt tired and put it into Aunt Yan's daughter's hand. "I'll go and tell the village chief later. If you have a net, you can also take a bamboo basket and bring some vegetables and leaves to the river at the foot of the mountain." , I think we can catch a lot of fish these days.”
After that she left.
Aunt Yan's daughter looked at her and said, "Mom."
"Hurry and put it in the water. It can last until night." She moved quickly to break off the leaves of the old vegetable, and then hurriedly called her son and daughter-in-law, "Did you hear that just now? Let's go fishing now. We are all in a hurry. The front, otherwise where would there be enough points?”
"Hey, okay, mother!"
A few people quickly put down their work. After catching the fish, what's the point of patching up the roof? It's not like it collapsed.
It rained heavily for several days, and every household was busy with their own business. Some repaired roofs, some rescued food, and some dried quilts. They had no time to go out and hang out.
Jiang Yue walked all the way to the entrance of the village. The village chief's family had just returned from the field. Before they could take a breath, they saw Jiang Yue bringing her man over.
Ping Ya was happy. She also wanted to take Jiang Yue to talk about the two rabbits. They grew up so fast! When it rained, she was afraid of getting wet, so she moved the rabbit cage into the house, but a hole was punched in the ground...
Jiang Yue blocked her mouth in time, asked her to bring a small basin filled with water, and then put the fish into the basin. After a short delay, the vitality of the fish was reduced. It has grown a lot, and its belly is now turned white, but its gills are still moving, so it is not completely dead yet.
The village chief's wife asked in surprise what was she doing?
Jiang Yue said the same thing as them, and everyone looked happy.
Seeing the village chief's hesitant expression, she smiled and said, "I see that little Hutou and Brother Jiang's Yanzi are both very thin. They need to cook a few more fish soups to make up for it. Sister-in-law Jiang has just given birth not long ago. It also needs to be replenished.”
The elders of the village chief's family are gone, but the younger ones are coming out one after another. His youngest daughter is 13 years old this year, his eldest son’s grandson is 4 years old, his second son’s granddaughter is 3 years old, and his third son’s grandson is only 5 months old.
"Master, there will be fish to catch tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." The village chief's wife bit her lip, fearing that her man would be "confused" again. Now she went to notify each fishermen. Will she be able to get two of them? ?
The village chief knew that there might be fish tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, but there would definitely be less fish. But he looked at the small house and estimated that this year's harvest would only be enough to pay taxes. He closed his eyes and said, "Let's go fishing now, and I will notify everyone tomorrow morning."
Brother Jiang was halfway through cheering when he was slapped hard by his wife, "Keep your voice down!"
Seeing that everyone knew what to do, Jiang Yue took Jiang Nian back first.
By the time the village chief's family sneaked up to the foot of the mountain one by one, Gu Yan's family had already caught three fish.
Both families had a tacit agreement to leave the little girl at home to look after the children, while all the remaining adults were here. Everyone looked at each other, and the village chief's wife whispered to Yan Gu, "Don't worry, I won't tell the others until tomorrow."
"Hey, okay, okay. Then let's work together and share the money between the two families equally."
"good!"
The two families divided their heads, with several people from the upper, middle and lower reaches, fishing for the whole afternoon.
When it got dark, the village chief said, "It's dark now, and it's easy to slip under your feet if you can't see clearly. Let's just stay here today."
Aunt Yan's family didn't have any objections either. After making so much money, they felt very excited.
Everyone first went to Jiang Yue's yard to say thank you, and the family picked two big fish for her.
She looked into the bucket and saw that each family could get about twenty fish, but she only took back one fish from each family. Pointing to another small bucket, "Can you give me the little fish in this?"
The village chief was surprised, "You want this little fish?"
She nodded.
The village chief gave her the bucket as well. The little fish had no meat and he planned to take it back to feed the chickens.
Seeing everyone's faces beaming with joy, Jiang Yue wondered if she had any premonitions about the natural disaster. She asked the village chief how many crops in the village could be saved now?
When asked about the crops, several people's smiles disappeared and their faces darkened. "At most, we can only save half of it, which is just enough to pay taxes."
Jiang Yue looked thoughtful, "If that's the case, then we have to use the fish caught by our family to exchange for more money and buy a few bags of grains. The weather is unpredictable. The heavy rain a few days ago stopped suddenly. Yeah, you have to take advantage of this moment to get ready, just in case the next time happens..."
She paused and looked worried, "We are stuck at home with no food or vegetables, so we will starve to death."
