Hearing his cousin's words, Ma Xiaodong also walked a few steps faster, and he hadn't fished for many years, which was his favorite activity as a child. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info took a look at his cousin's net. There are a lot of them, and there are about three or four catties of this net, but most of them are loach fish, and only a few crucian carp and fathead fish and a few toads.

However, only loaches are Ma Xiaodong's target, and even if he gets other fish, he has to eat them, because those fish will die if he can't wait for Ma Xiaodong to go to the town to sell them on the weekend. Only the loach has its vitality and tenacity, even if it is left for a week and then transported to the town, it will be fine.

As for those toads, Ma Xiaodong hasn't decided whether to eat them or sell them. At this time, the toad that flowed in the river was not a frog, but a kind of toad unique to the Northeast, also called 'snow clam', 'forest frog' and 'hash ant'.

'Hash Ant' is a national second-class protected animal, but also a national key protected wild medicinal species, forest frog oil has a very high nutritional and health value, the price has been high, rising. In Ma Xiaodong's later life. The price of frog oil per catty has reached 4,000-10,000 yuan, and even now, the price is not low. But it's illegal to buy and sell this thing, and if you eat it yourself, no one cares about you.

The two brothers carried the bags and continued to pour the nets to collect the fish, and when the 22 nets were finished, the two bags they brought were mostly full, and the two happy people smiled and lost their eyes.

"Little brother, there are too many fish, what's the matter?" Yang Hailong looked at the two bags that were almost full, his face full of happiness and trouble.

Ma Xiaodong is also very excited, he hasn't been so happy for many years, it seems that even if he doesn't have 200 catties of fish today, it's about the same, and he will definitely make a lot of money by trying to get it to Zhenshan and sell it on the weekend, and there is basically no problem with the money to buy medicine for his mother in a short time.

"Let's go, let's send it home first, and then come back later. With that, Ma Xiaodong tied the two bags and put one on the back seat of the car. Let the cousin sit on the girder. I rode my bike and ran home. Although it is quite heavy to ride a bicycle carrying fish and a cousin, the joy of the harvest can easily make people forget their fatigue and be full of happiness.

When I returned home, no one in the family rested, and I knew that the two children had gone fishing, so I didn't have anything to worry about, just near the village, and the key was that the water in the small river was not deep.

The people in the house heard the movement and came out to see that it was two monkey children who had returned. Ma Hongguo looked at the bag on the car, and suddenly became happy: "Oh, you two are not missing, it seems that there are a lot of fish this year?" said that he hurriedly stepped forward to help his son take down the fish. Then he poured the fish into the large vat that Ma Xiaodong had prepared a long time ago. This big vat is very large, not much smaller than the one Sima Guang smashed, and it is no problem to put this little fish in it.

"That's not it, old uncle, why don't you go too, what if there are more fish flowing at that time, and my little brother and I can't get them back?" Yang Hailong agitated on the side. Seeing so many fish, the boy had begun to fantasize about the time when the tank would not fit to the fullest.

But Ma Hongguo really wants to go, because he also likes to fish, touch shrimp or something, and Ma Xiaodong's hobby can be said to be inherited.

"Let's go, I'll go with you, and I'll borrow a car. Seeing so many fish, Ma Hongguo was of course tempted, although he didn't expect that the fish could be sold, and he couldn't eat so much, mainly because he was addicted.

"Hong Guo, why are you going? Go to bed early, you won't go up the mountain tomorrow? And you two little ones, what time is this? Are you not going to school tomorrow?" Ma Xiaodong's mother Yang Guizhi was suddenly unhappy when she heard that her husband was going to go to Liuyu, and she couldn't make money with that thing, and she couldn't eat it if she was too much, what's the use?

As soon as Ma Hongguo heard that his wife didn't let him go, he suddenly became anxious, and finally had a chance to have a good time, and the autumn harvest would be in a few days, and he was busy and had no time, "Oh, don't worry, Ming'er promises not to delay going up the mountain, and we will come back to sleep in a while." ”

Ma Xiaodong and the two didn't dare to squeak, in case the city gate caught fire and affected the pond fish, and the two of them couldn't go, it would be a tragedy. Seeing that these three people were determined to go, Yang Guizhi also knew that he couldn't control it, "Go and go, no one cares about you, let me come back early to sleep, do you know?"

Ma Hongguo rode a bicycle with two children, one in front and one in the back, and arrived at the forestry station after a while.

It was already more than nine o'clock in the evening, and it had been another hour since the last time the net was harvested. There are so many fish tonight, it is absolutely no problem to start netting once an hour, so Ma Hongguo decided to start netting.

Coming to the river, a few people began to split up the nets, and after a while, all the fishing nets were set up again, this time the fish were not as much as last time, only forty or fifty catties, but this is also normal, a section of the river, basically there are so many, have been obtained so much, and the rest of the short time is naturally less.

But as the old saying goes, fish over mille-feuille nets, nets have fish. Even if it is less, as long as you wait a little longer, there will still be fish, and by this time tomorrow, there will still be a lot of fish.

Looking at the fish in the bag, Ma Hongguo said to the two children: "You two are still a little dense under the net, or there will be more fish today." "It's a rule of thumb, and putting 10 nets in a 1-kilometer stretch of river is of course different from putting 10 nets in a 2-kilometer river.

Ma Xiaodong nodded, "It's just the two of us, the net is too far apart to be straightened out, just do it again tomorrow." ”

When Ma Hongguo heard his son's words, he was puzzled: "Why are you coming back tomorrow? Why can't you eat so many fish? "The dried fish can be fried and eaten, which is the kind that Ma Xiaodong brought up the mountain to pick mushrooms yesterday.

As soon as Ma Xiaodong heard his father's words, he knew that he had never thought that this fish could be sold for money, not only that his father had not thought about it, but many people had not thought about it, or that they had thought of it, but they had never wanted to try it, maybe the reason why people here are so poor is not because they are afraid of hard work, but because they have no mentality to make money at all.

"Don't worry, I have a way to deal with these fish, and I just don't waste them. "Ma Xiaodong has no choice, maybe after these fish are sold for money, my father will change his mind, maybe it's still like that.

"Okay, you can't delay your studies! If the fish can't be eaten, you are responsible for putting them back into the river, you know?" Ma Hongguo didn't say anything when he heard his son say this, on the one hand, because he really spoiled the child very much, and on the other hand, the child is not young, and there are some things that can be properly given to him to give him some face and let him make up his own mind.
