Parsley is no better than Duan Yongyuan, who can run around and play everywhere when she has nothing to do, she usually has no pastime, and this heavy rain has been falling, so she can do even less.

It is precisely because of the good cultivation in the past two days that the small cold that Xiangqin was turned away by Duan Qiuping on the night of New Year's Day did not evolve into a severe cold.

When Aizhi took Xiao Bao'er to sit in the South Courtyard Hall, Parsley was wearing a mask and was far away, for fear of infecting their mother and son with a cold.

The stove was not extinguished, and the hall was warm.

On this rainy day, Duan Yongyuan could find a place to play, and he had already run out. Xue Danfeng estimated that he was staying in the room, and he didn't come out to talk to Aizhi, Duan Wen and Xiangqin.

Aizhi reported Dou's situation to Duan Wen, saying that Dou's stayed at her house to watch TV, and she had been sitting since early in the morning, and she hadn't even eaten lunch.

This is not a pleasant topic, Aizhi didn't say much, and turned the topic to the New Year, "Uncle, it's less than two months before the New Year, have you done everything for the New Year?" ”

Xiangqin suddenly remembered that the day before yesterday Aizhi said that she had something to do with Duan Wen, but because of the relationship between the Dou family, it was estimated that it was not done, so she rushed to ask her before Duan Wen answered Aizhi's question: "Concubine, didn't you say that you had something to do with my grandfather that day?"

"It's just a matter of doing New Year's goods, it's inconvenient for me to leave it at home and take Xiaobao'er, I just want to ask your grandfather when he will go to the city to do New Year's goods, and bring some to our family by the way." Aieda said. As a result, because of Dou's family, and the heavy rain that had been going on for two days, she wanted to put it aside and discuss it with Duan Wen later.

Duan Wen suddenly let out a sullen sigh, his eyes fell on the stove in the hall, but he looked absent-minded.

"You have to spend money to do New Year's goods, and my family doesn't open a bank, where did I get so much money, and I still want to buy a TV!" Duan Wen talked about the Dou family again, this is not to make himself uncomfortable. However, he still recognizes the reality more clearly, and the cruelty of the reality can't help but make him sad and sigh. "After this rain, it will snow again, and it will be the New Year, and I can't even get out of the stall. I just didn't make a few dollars, and I will spend it again this New Year! ”

In the end, Duan Wen let out another long sigh, quite helpless.

Parsley involuntarily whispered the nursery rhyme of her hometown: "Twenty-three sugar melons sticky, twenty-four sweep the house, twenty-five make tofu, twenty-six cut meat, twenty-seven slaughter roosters, twenty-eight handfuls of dough hair, twenty-nine steamed steamed buns, thirty children stay up at night, visit relatives and friends on the first day of the new year, worship ancestors on the second day of the new year, visit the temple fair on the third and fourth days of the new year, and walk on the street on the fifteenth night."

Aizhi couldn't help laughing when she heard this, and while beating the beat with her toes, she trembled Xiao Bao'er lying on her lap. Xiao Bao'er also likes this, grinning and laughing with Aizhi.

After Xiangqin finished reading the nursery rhyme, Aizhi spoke, "You don't have to buy meat, Jiang should come back after a while, and I will let him slaughter a pig at home." ”

Duan Wen couldn't deny it, and remembered something else, "Your old sow hasn't given birth to a pig baby yet?" ”

Aizhi was even happier, and said twice, "Hurry, hurry!" ”

This is a good thing, Duan Wen's stiff face finally eased, and when he spoke, his voice was much lighter, "I will enter the city in a few days, make a list for me if you want, and I will bring it back together." ”

"Red dates, chicken, fish...... Every year, this fish is indispensable......"

Before Aizhi finished speaking, she heard Parsley shout in surprise-

"Fish!" Parsley's eyes were wide and full of surprise, and she couldn't stop looking out the door. "This rain is good, it is wonderful!"

Duan Wen and Aizhi were confused, looking at Parsley blankly, not understanding what her nerves were suddenly on.

"What's wrong?" Duan Wen was confused.

I can't get out of the stall, I can't sell hot tofu, I can't make money, but it's all because of this rain. At least Duan Wen can't see how good and wonderful this rain is.

Parsley was a little excited, and when she explained, she was vague, "The fish is here, we don't need to buy fish!" ”

Duanjiazhuang is far away from the Honghe River, and the people in this village probably don't have that awareness. Lijia Village, where Xiangqin used to live, is just below the river embankment, north of the Honghe River. After the continuous heavy rains, the water of the Nahong River rose at its highest point of more than five meters, and it was almost flooded over the embankment.

As soon as the water of the flood river rose, the fish in the river ran out of the big reservoir at the west end, and they were all in groups! At this time, go to the net, not to mention catch fish, maybe you can catch something else!

Xiangqin didn't explain so much to Duan Wen and Aizhi, hurriedly put on rubber shoes, and went to Duan Xiang's house with an umbrella.

Her fat uncle played "5, 10, K" with Duan Yongyuan and Duan Hao at home, and he was so red-eared that he quarreled with Duan Hao about Duan Hao's trick and not paying him the biggest card......

"Brother, uncle, don't fight, I'll tell you something!"

As soon as Xiangqin said what she meant, Duan Yongyuan was the first to say, "Ming'er will be fine, Xiangqin, we still have to have a stall." ”

Listening to what he meant, he didn't quite agree with Parsley's idea. He was more pessimistic, if he couldn't catch fish and make no money, wouldn't it be a waste of a day's work?

"Tomorrow Monday, I have a class." Having said that, Duan Hao had a hesitant expression.

He is an office worker, but the salary is so low that even he feels cold. If what Parsley said is really feasible, it will save a lot of money for New Year's goods!

Duan Xiang was very idle, but it was not interesting for him to go to the Honghe River alone.

From Duan Yongyuan and Duan Hao's equally lonely expressions, Duan Xiang could see that they wanted to go, but they couldn't help themselves!

They grew up together, what did the two of them think, Duan Xiang couldn't see it?

So, before Parsley opened his mouth to lobby them, Duan Xiang slapped his thigh and made a bold decision!

"Yongzi, don't delay selling hot tofu for one day less. Haozi, Ming'er, you take a leave. Let's call some more people and take a look at the other side of the Honghe River. ”

Xiangqin then said: "Let's go early tomorrow morning, if you can't see it, you can come back early, what should you do."

In this way, there is no time to delay making tofu at all.

Duan Yongyuan was relieved and became enthusiastic, "Fishing nets, you have to find a few fishing nets." ”

Duan Xiang, Duan Yongyuan and Duan Hao, the three of them acted separately, asked other relatives and friends to go, and borrowed two big fishing nets by the way.

In the early hours of the next morning, the rain stopped. Early in the morning, Xiangqin and Duan Yongyuan got up and followed the dozen or so people they had made an appointment to go in the direction of the Honghe.

They rode either on tricycles or bicycles, and in addition to the two large nets in the tricycle, there were several small fishing nets.

A group of people walked mightily down the quiet boulevard, and soon reached the embankment.

From the embankment, you can see that the water of the Hong River has risen a lot, as Xiangqin said.

Looking in all directions, except for some of them, there was not even a single ghost.

Due to the high water level, the slope of the embankment is steep, and it is difficult to find a place to put your feet.

Parsley was familiar with the area, and soon saw a flat place where people could stand, and only a step away from the river.

They parked their cars on the riverbank and went down with mud and dead grass on their shoes. At this time, I heard someone complaining that the shoes were so wet that they couldn't wear them.

This time I can't come for nothing, and Parsley thinks that she can bring back a fish with everyone.

Before she was reborn, Xiangqin was pushed down the Honghe River by Tian Jingjing from this area, and she naturally had a psychological shadow here, and it was normal for her to be afraid.

She forced herself to put aside her fear, gritted her teeth and stared at the rapids of the Honghe River, when she suddenly saw a straight line on the slightly murky water gradually swimming over.

She hurriedly patted Duan Hao's arm, pointed to the thin lines that were getting closer and closer, and exclaimed in a suppressed voice: "There, there—"

The fishing net in Duan Hao's hand is somewhat like a tool for catching butterflies, although it is also a thin net, but there are more nets in the whole net, there are more things that can be carried, and the handle made of sturdy wooden sticks is long enough.

He reached into the water and stopped the fine stripe where parsley had placed his fingers, and he clearly felt that something had entered the net and was fluttering wildly.

Duan Hao lifted the fishing net out of the water, and the surrounding partners couldn't help but be stunned.

What was fluttering in the net was a grass carp the size of a calf!

"Huh~" Duan Hao first howled in surprise and joy, his appearance was so exaggerated that he couldn't wait to take the fish out of the net and kiss it a few times!

His voice echoed far away before disappearing.

Duan Xiang was anxious, happy and angry, and felt so unwilling, he couldn't help but scold, "Mother, you are quiet, you want to scare the fish away!" ”

Duan Hao was proud, and proudly showed off the big fish in the net in front of Duan Xiang, "I fished, I fished!" ”

"Get out of the way, if it weren't for parsley, you would be able to catch it!" Duan Xiang couldn't get used to his sassy appearance, so he grabbed him away from Xiangqin, just like a different person, "Xiangqin, my fishing net is already hungry ‖and thirsty, tell my uncle how to catch it!" ”

Parsley simply became a teacher and taught them the skills.

Some fish swim shallow, while others swim deep.

Fish coming from above the shallow water can only be seen with the strength of the eyes. Because when they swim on the surface of the water, they bring out a straight fine line. Don't think about anything when you see fine lines, just go to the net to fish.

Fish under deep water, that can only cast a large net, whether you can catch it, it depends on luck.

At this time, no complaint could be heard, and everyone was eager to try, each with a fishing net in hand, and stretched his head on the surface of the water to find fine lines.

Duan Xiang directly threw the big net into the water and tried his luck to see what his luck was.

After about fifteen minutes of touching and then closing the net, he couldn't help but shout: "Son, why is it so heavy, come and help me alone!"

Duan Yongyuan went over and helped Duan Xiang pull out the fishing net.

"Boy, so many crucian carp!" Duan Xiang didn't count carefully, glanced over, and felt that there were seven or eight in the net!
