The first time he fished, Hu Mingchen finally failed, the road was over, he also didn't catch a fish, and he was cold at the water's edge for several hours in vain.

In order to make up for the loss of this day, after Hu Mingchen finished, he invited Wang Huixue to eat a Chongqing hot pot, on the one hand, to drive away the cold, and on the other hand, to make up for her.

"Will you go fishing with me next time?" asked Hu Mingchen as he sandwiched a piece of beef into Wang Huixue's water.

"I don't go, it's almost the same in spring and summer, and I don't go anymore in winter, I'm hungry and cold, the key is that I haven't gained anything, and I have no place to play. Wang Huixue shook her head and said.

Going fishing is too boring for a girl like Wang Huixue, and she still hasn't figured out what this fish is good to catch, it's boring, and it's not interesting at all.

"Hmm...... Also, in the spring season, you can also take a tour of the mountains and rivers. Hu Mingchen nodded with a deep sigh.

Although Wang Huixue was reluctant to go, Hu Mingchen's interest had just risen, especially at the end of the day, there was nothing to gain, which aroused his dislike to admit defeat.

By the next weekend, Hu Mingchen didn't call Wang Huixue, he and Fang Guoping went fishing with tools.

Without Wang Huixue chattering in her ears, the two of them would be peaceful and comfortable fishing, at least Hu Mingchen could sit quietly for a long time.

Last time, Hu Mingchen and Wang Huixue were confused and ignorant of fishing, this time there is Fang Guoping, he has some skills to know, when he was in the army before, in the field survival training, he trained how to catch fish and fish.

This time, Hu Mingchen continued to use the bait he bought, while Fang Guoping dug up a few earthworms by himself.

It is not so easy to dig earthworms in winter, but Fang Guoping can still dig them.

This time, Hu Mingchen finally had a harvest, and when Fang Guoping fell into a three-car grass carp, Hu Mingchen's fish drift also moved.

Hu Mingchen learned the previous lesson, and instead of pulling the rod immediately, he held the fishing rod in his hand and prepared it.

At the moment when the fish floated and sank, Hu Mingchen decisively pulled the rod upward, and this time, he finally pulled out a carp weighing one or two from the water.

The fish's mouth is hooked by the hook, and it jumps in the air, trying to break free from the hook and escape back into the water.

However, this fish is not big after all, and the more fiercely he jumps, the deeper the hook becomes, and the more he can't escape.

Seeing this small fish at his fingertips, Hu Mingchen's heart suddenly swept away the haze of disappointment last week, and the excitement and joy in his heart were no less than the fact that he made a lot of money in business.

Sitting quietly by the water for an hour is just for this moment, and the excitement of this moment can completely cover up the previous efforts.

"Hero, hero, Xiaoyuer, you are a great hero, you have proved that I am not a rookie fisherman, hahaha. Hu Mingchen said excitedly while plucking the small fish from the hook.

"As for this, didn't you catch a fish? Fang Guoping sat aside, took out a cigarette and lit a branch.

"Brother Fang, you are a full man, but you don't know how hungry you are. Last week, I hung up all day, and that feeling ...... Don't mention it, it's depressing enough. Now that I've caught this little fish, it's a fresh start, and at least I can catch it. As for it, of course, it means a lot. Hu Mingchen glared at Fang Guoping and said.

"Yes, yes, a fresh start, don't fall in love with fishing right away, this thing is too time-consuming, there is not so much leisure, it is better to stay away. Fang Guoping spewed out a flue pleasantly.

But everyone says that fishing is the best way to cultivate sentiment and exercise willpower. Hu Mingchen said.

"It's okay once in a while, but it's not okay to fall in love, no matter what, if you fall in love and become obsessed, then it's better not to. Don't look at the leisure of fishing, it will also be addictive. You see those old men, idle is like fishing, but people are retired, and they have a lot of time, and you see how many young people are fishing all day? If you really see a young man fishing a lot, it means that he doesn't have any ambitions and better expectations for the future. Fang Guoping pointed to a few old men fishing in the distance.

Usually Fang Guoping is silent, but his words today are really a little philosophical, Hu Mingchen tasted it carefully, and it really seemed like that.

Hu Mingchen shrugged his shoulders: "Fortunately, I shouldn't be addicted, I just don't admit defeat when I come today." Besides, what you said is also related to a person's self-control, not fishing, and it is the same for other aspects. When I have some free time, I think fishing is a good way to calm down and think about something...... Oh, you're good today, another one, you can eat fish tonight. Just as Hu Mingchen was speaking, Fang Guoping pulled the fishing rod violently, and pulled up a grass carp weighing seven or eight taels.

"This kind of wild fish, whether it is made into fish soup or fried, is delicious, let your sister Yueling make you a fish soup to taste at night, it's pretty good." I don't know if it was to catch a fish or if Hu Mingchen understood his faint advice, Fang Guoping looked relaxed and high-tech.

"What are you doing, do you think I'm going to stop here? We can make your fish soup, my fried one, I should be able to catch two or three more." Hu Mingchen said unconvinced and optimistic.

Hu Mingchen was too optimistic, and the hook of the first fish made him a little overconfident. Don't think that fishing is only about technique, there is also an element of luck. Even if Hu Mingchen has mastered the basic skills of fishing, if he is unlucky, it will be in vain.

Later, Hu Mingchen did catch a fish, but only one was added, less than two or two. However, the small fish he caught was just right to be fried, but the number of two was a little small.

Fortunately, there is also Fang Guoping, the fish he caught with gold bars add up to more than three catties, plus Hu Mingchen's, it is no problem to eat a meal.

In the evening, where Fang Guoping and Su Yueling lived, when Hu Mingchen was drinking a bowl of fragrant fish soup with fish and coriander, Hu Jianqiang, who had returned to Duge Township, called him.

"Third uncle, do you smell the smell of fish?" Hu Mingchen picked up the phone with a smile.

"What are you talking about, how can I smell it from such a distance, I'm not a dog, even a dog can't smell it. ”

"Hehe, it's okay to have ideas, third uncle, call me, what's wrong?"

"It's not a big deal, since you're eating, let's wait until you're eating. Hu Jianqiang said.

Normally, Hu Jianqiang would not call Hu Mingchen if he had nothing to do, not only him, but Hu Mingchen's parents were similar. The so-called daily care or small talk is basically not visible in their family.

"Third uncle, it's okay, what do you say, it doesn't affect my eating, I'm drinking soup, the fish I caught today is delicious." Hu Mingchen sat on the edge of the sofa, took a sip of fish soup, and said beautifully.

"Forget it, let's wait a while, don't worry, when you eat, you can call me again." Okay, you guys eat, I'll hang up. ”

Hu Jianqiang wanted to hang up the phone, but Hu Mingchen didn't force it, anyway, from the tone and speech, Hu Mingchen also heard that Hu Jianqiang didn't have any urgent and important matters, in this case, Hu Mingchen still concentrated on tasting this fish feast.

After eating, Hu Yandie helped Su Yueling clean up the dishes and chopsticks, Hu Yujiao wanted to watch TV, and Hu Mingchen returned to his room with a cup of tea, sat on a chair and took out his mobile phone to call Hu Jianqiang.

"Third uncle, I'm done eating, what's the matter, I can talk about it now. Hu Mingchen sat on the chair, his feet raised on the desk, his stomach propped up, so that he was more comfortable.

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just today, the township notified us cadres from various villages to go to the township for a meeting, and the new Secretary Tang plans to do a big job. Hu Jianqiang said.

"Hehe, this is a good thing, the township finally met a leader who wants to do things, very good, how to listen to your tone, it seems that there is still some unhappiness. ”

"The township leaders want to do a great job, of course this is a good thing, our Duge Township, since the Song Township Chief and their leaders left, they have stood still, and there has been no change at all. But how can I listen to Secretary Tang's thoughts?" Hu Jianqiang said.

"This Secretary Tang was fulfilled by Tang Zhiliang last month?

"It's him, he has been working in the county before, and as soon as he came to our Duge Township, he wanted to show his ability. But I don't think he knows anything about us in Dug Township. Tang Zhiliang held a meeting and told us that he planned to let our villages carry out industrial transformation, and in the future, we were not allowed to re-pack grain and potatoes, and all the land should be concentrated to grow citrus. Moreover, there must be tasks, and each village is not less than 1,000 acres. According to him, it is as if all of our land can be planted with citrus and we can get rid of poverty and become rich all at once. Hu Jianqiang said.

"There's nothing wrong with that, third uncle, to be honest, almost all of the land of each family in Duge is used to grow grain, which is indeed low-yield and inefficient, and the grain can't be sold at a price, a few cents a catty, and it can only be fed to pigs. In contrast, it is a good choice to transform to grow cash crops, at least it is more cost-effective than heavy grain. Hu Mingchen thought for a while.

"But so many places are full of citrus, and there will be no food at that time, what will everyone eat?" Hu Jianqiang asked rhetorically.

"What to eat? Of course, it's still eating. Now everyone grows bread grain, and I don't see a few families who all rely on eating bread grain, and in the end they don't want to buy rice to eat. Citrus is the same, if you sell it, you can buy food, and now the times are different, and there is a division of labor in the planting industry. I don't think this is bad, besides, since this is a unified decision in the township, then they must have relevant supporting facilities, and the people's living problems must be taken care of. Hu Mingchen in turn gave Hu Jianqiang ideological work.
