When they looked up and saw Zhang Ran, the three people in the courtyard suddenly showed surprise, especially the woman, who hurriedly got up and greeted: "Brother Ran, come and sit, I'll give you that bowl..."

As he spoke, he stopped eating, put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, turned around and walked towards the hut behind him.

After a while, the woman took out a pottery bowl and a pair of chopsticks from the room, returned to the wooden table, picked up the spoon, filled a bowl of rice porridge, and greeted Zhang Ran warmly: "Brother Ran hasn't eaten yet, come and eat together..."

"Brother Ran, didn't you hear what your aunt said, come here..."

Zhang Ran followed the prestige and found that it was a middle-aged strong man who spoke. This burly, dark-faced middle-aged man, with a face full of beards, looks quite a bit "fierce" from a distance, as if as long as he stands there, he has a temperament that is not angry and arrogant.

His skin is very rough, and his palms are also very large, and when he exerts a little force, the back of his hand is covered with green tendons, and he looks like a person who has been weathered and often does heavy work and exerts strength. Zhang Ran, this kind of person, knows even if he doesn't need to look at it, his palms must be covered with calluses.

However, this middle-aged strong man, at first glance, seems to be unapproachable, but he is extremely enthusiastic about Zhang Ran, and when he saw Zhang, he greeted him very warmly.

Even while talking, he put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, walked up and down in front of Zhang Ran, looked him up and down, and said to Zhang Ran with a smile: "When I went to see you a few days ago, you just got out of bed and couldn't stand steadily. Good! Good! Good! ”

The other party smiled very happily, obviously he really cared about Zhang Ran, otherwise it would be impossible to show such sincere feelings as soon as they met.

And after slowly absorbing the memories of the original body, Zhang Ran also recognized this middle-aged strong man at a glance, this person was Sankui's father Zhang Meng. The one who is not a brother with Zhang Ran's father Zhang Bao, but is better than a brother, a distant cousin of the same clan.

For Sankui's father Zhang Meng, Zhang Ran naturally did not dare to slack off, and when he saw this, he hurriedly broke free from Sankui, and saluted Zhang Meng according to the "memory" and title of the original body:

"I've seen my uncle!"

Then, Zhang Ran stood up straight, lifted the straw rope with the fish in his hand, quickly explained his intention, and said: "Uncle, this morning, the little nephew caught a few fish in the river, and on the order of my mother, I specially selected two carps with the fattest fish and gave them to the second elder to try!" ”

As he spoke, Zhang Ran handed the straw rope in his right hand to Sankui beside him, patted him on the shoulder, and said softly: "Sankui, take it and deal with it, and stew a pot of fish soup for your uncle and aunt and little sister to taste!" ”

"Uh, good, good!" When he took the two fish from Zhang Ran's hands, Sankui was still a little dazed, looking at Zhang Ran's smiling face, and somehow, he agreed in a daze.

"Sankui!!"

At this moment, an explosion suddenly sounded in Zhang Sankui's ears, and in an instant, Zhang Sankui suddenly woke up. I shuddered involuntarily, and couldn't help but look at the source of the sound, my father Zhang Meng!

Especially when Zhang Sankui saw his father's face that was not angry and arrogant, and the look of anger in his eyes, his big black face turned a little pale in an instant.

Although Zhang Meng didn't say much, just one look was enough for Zhang Sankui to understand what his father meant. So Zhang Sankui hurriedly stuffed the straw rope in his hand back to Zhang Ran, and explained helplessly: "No, no, I can't ask for things!" Brother Ran, your body is just right, you better keep this fish and eat it yourself! ”

"Well, Sankui is right!" Zhang Meng saw that his son finally understood, his face was a little pale, and he gently persuaded Zhang Ran: "Brother Ran, you are recovering from a serious illness, and it is the time when you need to replenish your body, and drinking some fish soup is better for your body at this time!" Your heart, uncle, has received this, but we can't take this fish! You'd better take it back! Also, although the weather is a lot warmer now, the river is still very cold, and you have always been not very cool, so don't venture into the water in the future! ”

"Ugh!"

The father and son sang and harmonized like this, which made Zhang Ran cry and laugh a little, but the attitude of Sankui's father made Zhang Ran's heart warm slightly. Secretly, he is worthy of being a brother who has a good family relationship with his deceased father, and this friendship still has nothing to say!

Touched in his heart, Zhang Ran thought about it for a while, gritted his teeth, and said straight to the point: "Uncle, don't you know, my little nephew recently got a new way to catch fish, and it's quite easy." These two fish are the ones I caught with the new method, and I can catch fish and shrimp even if I don't go into the water. I'll tell you the truth, in fact, my family caught a lot of fish today, and sending you two is really nothing to us! ”

"A new way to catch fish? Don't have to go into the water yet? You're talking about fish stalks? Zhang Meng was slightly stunned, and a trace of strangeness could not help but appear on the weather-beaten face of the Chinese character.

Although he had seen the method of fishing on the Wei River, he was not very clear about how to do it. That's the fisherman's unique skill, how did Zhang Ran learn it? (Fish pipe, braided bamboo into a basket, the mouth has inverted bamboo slices, the fish into the basket is not easy to come out)

"Fish? What's that? Zhang Ran couldn't help but wonder.

Zhang Meng pondered for a moment and explained: "The fish basket is a basket made of bamboo, with a mechanism inside, and the fish can't get out when they enter the basket!" ”

"Ugh"

Hearing Zhang Meng say this, Zhang Ran, who was still with a little pride, suddenly wilted, and said in a low voice: "The way I catch fish is similar to the fish basket you said, and it is made by using the basket at home." ”

"Luobasket..."Zhang Meng looked at Zhang Ran in surprise when he heard this, and asked curiously, "How did you change it?" Can a basket be changed into a fish basket? How come I've never heard of such a thing? ”

As he spoke, Zhang Meng suddenly frowned, and said in a condensed voice: "This fish basket is the lifeblood of those fishermen, and it has always been passed on. ”

"Uh-uh"

Zhang Ran opened his mouth, and he didn't know how to answer Zhang Meng's question for a while, he couldn't say that he learned it from the video on the Internet, right?

But the other party has already asked, and it is not good for Zhang Ran not to answer. So Zhang Ran lowered his head and pondered for a moment, slapped his head violently, pretended to be "suddenly enlightened", and exclaimed, "Oh, uncle." I remembered, is the kind of fish basket you are talking about, is it the basket used by the fishermen by the river to catch fish? I just saw them catch fish with that kind of thing, so I tried to change the basket at home to see if I could catch fish like a fish basket, but I didn't expect it to work!

However, the things that I changed from this basket may not be as good as others, and I only caught five or six small fish after a whole day in the river.

Also, at the time, I didn't know what to call this basket, but I saw that it could be like a cage and lock up those who swam in, so I named it the Fish Cage..."

At the end, Zhang Ran also said: "By the way, my mother also said that if I have time, I will also let Sankui learn how to make this fish cage with me, and let him follow me to catch fish in the Qingshui River..."

The reason why Zhang Ran finally said that his mother asked him to hand over the fishing method to Sankui was mainly because Zhang Ran didn't expect that there was something similar to a fish cage now, so he didn't react for a while, and he was forced into a corner. In order to avoid arousing Zhang Meng's suspicion, Zhang Ran could only "honestly" add oil and vinegar to the process of making fish cages, and adapt it to tell the other party.

However, in this way, most of the secrets of the fish cage fishing method have been revealed, in this case, instead of hiding and tucking and hurting the feelings of the two families, it is better to tell each other frankly, but to increase the trust between each other. So Zhang Ran took the opportunity to say this.

Sure enough, when they heard that Zhang Ran was willing to tell his own "pondering" fishing skills without reservation, Zhang Meng's family of four couldn't help but look at Zhang Ran a little softer.

Especially Sankui's mother, Zhang Wang, held Zhang Ran's hand affectionately, and vigorously exaggerated that she was sensible and filial, and did not hurt him in vain.

Even Zhang Cui'er, who was silently watching on the side, and had never spoken, looked at Zhang Ran with a little more surprise and a hint of closeness at this moment.

And Sankui next to him, the reaction was the most exaggerated, after this guy heard that Zhang Ran was willing to share his fishing skills with him, his whole black face turned red, and he patted Zhang Ran's shoulder again and again, and said a few "good brothers", and he was almost speechless with excitement.

Zhang Sankui's appearance of being so "full of affection" made Zhang Ran feel a chill for no reason, and hurriedly moved a step quietly, avoiding Sankui's big hand, and said righteously: "Sankui, they are all their own brothers, why do you need to see the outside like this?" We grew up together, although we are not brothers, but we are better than our own children, I have meat to eat, how can I forget you? ”

Hearing Zhang Ran say this, Sankui's father Zhang Meng took a deep look at Zhang Ran, and then slapped Sankui on the shoulder and said solemnly: "Sankui, Brother Ran is right, you brothers don't need to be so polite, just remember this friendship in your heart." Okay, don't be a child..."

'Hmm!'

Sankui nodded heavily, turned around and took Zhang Ran's hand, strode forward and said, "Let's go, let's eat!" ”

"Ugh"

Zhang Ran smiled bitterly, and said to Sankui with a helpless face: "Sankui, I really can't stay for dinner today." Mother and Sui'er are still at home waiting for me to go back and grill fish for them! Another day, I will definitely stay with my uncle another day, how about a meal for my aunt? ”

"Huh?"

Sankui turned his head, scratched his head a little embarrassed, and said helplessly: "That's it!" Well, forget it for today... I won't leave you behind..."
