Chapter 232 Fishing in the River
Chapter 232 Fishing in the River
"Mom, get me a bucket!"
As soon as Ye Lin entered the yard, he called Li Chunhua. Fu Ling shouted "cousin uncle" loudly, and was about to rush over when she saw Ye Lin covered in mud and suddenly braked.
Only then did Ye Lin notice Fu Ling, as well as Fu Wan and others sitting in the room.
"Awan, why are you here?!"
Fu Wan was naturally not as polite to him as she was to Li Chunhua. "Why are we here? It's because someone hasn't been home for several days and there's no call. We were about to go out to sea when we realized you weren't back..."
After saying this, Ye Lin slapped his forehead and said, "I forgot something. I forgot to tell my aunt and uncle that something happened at home!"
He knew Fu Wan and the others had good intentions, so he quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Wan, for making you make such a special trip."
Fu Wan waved her hand, "I was just teasing you. Hurry up and put down those fish in your pocket and go change your clothes!"
He was still patting his forehead, and his forehead was covered with mud!
Ye Lin responded. At this time, Ye Lin's wife Chen Guifang came in carrying a basket of vegetables, followed by their son Ye Zhenxing and Ye Jun's daughter Ye Xiaofeng.
Ye Zhenxing and Ye Xiaofeng were naturally very happy to see Fu Ling, whom they hadn't seen for a long time. Although Qin Mingzhu, who was standing next to them, had never seen him before, the children were interacting with each other, and soon the four of them ran out to play.
Fu Wan thought they were too noisy, so she let them play by themselves.
When the atmosphere quieted down, Fu Wan quietly asked Li Chunhua about the division of the family property.
Li Chunhua sighed, "Ever since Ye Lin went to your place last time and made some money, your uncle and I have been very happy. But your brother Ye Jun also wants to go, so how can we agree to this easily?
But we didn't say we wouldn't ask for him. Last time, he didn't even say hello and rode the bicycle away even though he knew Ye Lin went to Fujia Village to ask for it.
After Ye Lin came back, his wife brought her family and started making a fuss about dividing the family property."
So that's how it was, "Then how was it divided in the end?"
Li Chunhua felt a little sad when talking about this. "Your uncle and I will follow your brother Ye Lin. When we can no longer work, your brother Ye Lin will support us."
It’s really hard to put it into words.
"Then Brother Ye Jun won't care about anything anymore?!"
Li Chunhua shook his head. "Never mind. The family savings were divided into three parts. Your uncle and I got one part, and the two brothers each got one part."
"The reason why Ye Lin wants to build a house is because after all the trouble, it's impossible for the two brothers to live under the same roof. Seeing that Zhenxing has grown up, Ye Jun wants this old house again, so Ye Lin simply builds a new house and we move in after it's finished."
Now not only Fu Wan was speechless, even Fu Ming felt that Ye Jun had gone too far.
Li Chunhua wiped away tears when she talked about this, and Fu Wan had to comfort her, "Aunt, Ye Lin is a capable man, and your good days are still ahead."
Li Chunhua nodded. All she wanted now was to raise her grandchildren and try not to cause trouble to her eldest brother and his wife.
Ye Lin put the crucian carp he brought back into the water, but he was not in a hurry to change his clothes.
He took a dusty fishing net from behind the house and called Fu Wan and Fu Ming.
"Awan and Aming, it rained a few days ago and half of the river collapsed. That's where I caught the fish. Do you want to go and take a look?"
Of course I have to go.
Since we're here now, Fu Wanke hasn't caught a freshwater fish in a long time.
They got down to work right away. Chen Guifang took a shoulder pole and brought two small buckets. Li Chunhua also wanted to go, but she thought it was getting late and she had to prepare lunch.
Fu Wan and Fu Ming changed into clothes they wore for farm work at home, and then followed Ye Lin to the river.
The river in Qingshan Village is a tributary of a river in Longhai City. During the famine decades ago, all the small fish and shrimps in the river were cleaned out, feeding many villagers in Qingshan Village.
When Fu Wan was a child, she also caught a lot of fish and shrimp here with Ye Lin and others, but it has been more than ten years since then.
When we arrived at the river, many villagers had already rolled up their trousers and were looking for fish and shrimp in the shallow water with buckets.
There were also some clever ones who ran home to get hand nets like Ye Lin, but Fu Wan saw that everyone only caught small fish and shrimps, and didn't see any big fish.
Ye Lin ran back to get the net, so of course he had his own secret base. He led Fu Wan and the others toward the mountainside, and only stopped when there was no one around.
“This is where I caught my fish!”
Fu Wan thought this place was really nice, even the river water seemed much clearer.
Ye Lin quickly opened the fishing net in his hand, asked Fu Ming to hold one end, and he held the other end and slowly swam across the river.
The river was not wide, probably because there were mountains on both sides, but the water in the middle of the river was very deep, and Fu Wan did not intend to go down.
After all, river water is not as good as sea water. Because sea water has a high salt solubility, it has higher visibility than river water and is much cleaner.
There were indeed quite a few fish in the river. Just as Ye Lin was swimming across to the other side with the fish, Fu Ming clearly felt the sound of the fishing net being hit by the fish.
After waiting for a long time, Ye Lin finally reached the shallow water area on the opposite side of the river. The two brothers each took one side, holding the fishing net and slowly walked upstream.
At this moment, a big fish in the middle of the river suddenly struggled and jumped up, probably because it was entangled in the fishing net, and then fell heavily back into the water.
There really is a big fish!
Fu Wan looked at her cousin-in-law Chen Guifang next to her, their eyes full of surprise.
"It's been a while since we've caught a big fish in this river. Brother A-Ling is right. A-Wan and you guys are really lucky."
Looking at her cousin's wife's sparkling eyes, Fu Wan was too embarrassed to say that this had nothing to do with her.
She didn't even pull the net, how could it be related to her luck?
But at this time she had already seen several small crucian carps the size of a palm by the river. These fish were brought back and fried in oil until both sides were golden brown, and they were so crispy.
What else can we do? Of course, we have to go to the scoop net.
Fu Wan picked up the scoop net in her hand and quickly scooped up the small fish. Before Chen Guifang could react, the scoop net in Fu Wan's hand had brought the fish to her bucket.
"Awan, you are so amazing!"
Chen Guifang really admired her husband's cousin. She still remembered that Fu Wan had taught them how to cook crayfish and they made a lot of money from it.
Fu Wan waved her hand, this was just the beginning.
Then she found several small fish, all of which were crucian carp. After she had caught all the crucian carp in the shallow water, Fu Ming and Ye Lin also began to pull their fishing nets ashore.
"It's so heavy, is there a big fish?!"
There is no net machine for catching fish in the rural river, so we have to pull it by hand.
The two 1.8-meter-tall men pulled so hard that the veins on their necks bulged before they finally managed to pull the fishing net ashore.
"Fish, there really is a big fish! It's a bighead carp!"
Fu Ming was so excited that he lost his balance and almost fell into the river.
However, Fu Wanke, who was holding him, suffered a lot. She stepped directly into the river, and her legs were immediately sunk into the soft mud in the river.
Fu Wan was about to pull it out with a grimace in her eyes, but she felt a hard stone under her feet.
That stone is clearly moving!
