Chapter 5: Catch the Big Fish
After struggling to chop down five bamboos, Lin Yuer instructed Lin Anyu to start cutting the bamboo, to cut it thin and cut it into pieces.
The two of them were only nine-year-old, ten-year-old children, and they were already tired and out of breath after cutting for a while.
Lin Yuer began to follow the explanation of the drawings in her mind, and compiled the fish basket step by step, but fortunately, it didn't take much effort to compile the fish basket.
Otherwise, with the strength of a nine-year-old girl, there would be no way to weave this fish basket.
The sun is getting more and more poisonous, and Lin Yuer has already compiled two crooked fish baskets.
Although it didn't look good, when they saw the finished product, the motivation of the two came back.
Dragging the fish basket to the river, looking at the crystal clear river, Lin Yuer couldn't help but want to jump down and play.
But before he could put it into action, he was stopped by Lin Anyu.
"It's dangerous in the river, where to put this fish basket, let my brother put it."
I had no choice but to take back the foot I had just stretched out, and I knew that I wouldn't bring this guy here.
After putting the basket away, the two of them lay down on the shady slate and took out the bran cake they had eaten in the morning, and ate it in the river water.
After eating, I was bored and lying on the stone slab, and I went to bed early at night, and I couldn't take a nap at this point.
"Sister, come on, come on!" In a daze, Lin Yuer heard Lin Anyu's excited cry.
Bringing the taro leaves from his face, he saw that he was already dragging the fish basket to the shore in the river.
"Got fish?" Instantly sobered up and pulled the barrel over.
"Be careful, be careful!" An resisted the excitement in her heart, and Lin Yuer commanded on the shore.
After a lot of effort, I finally dragged up a fish of about three or four catties and carefully poured it into the wooden barrel.
"Sister, you can really catch a fish!" Looking at the fat fish in the barrel, both of them were excited.
Lin Yu'er is about to leave all her saliva behind, this is meat!
"Let's get the fish back!" Lin Anyu danced excitedly, and couldn't wait to bring the fish home now.
"Go back slowly, and see if there's any stupid fish in the basket." With great difficulty, he lifted a large stone and pressed the barrel on.
I'm afraid that if this fish jumps out, then her meat will be gone.
Let Lin Anyu continue to look at the fish basket, and she continued to lie leisurely on the stone and pretend to sleep.
Lin Anyu is obedient to his sister now, and he never thought that she would be so powerful.
"Sister! There's movement again! Come on! Come on! After a long time, there was also movement from another fish basket.
"Sister, you are so powerful, and you are a big fat fish!"
When Lin Yu'er saw it, it was a grass carp again, thinking that she could get another species of fish.
I didn't expect it to be a grass carp again, and my little face was full of disappointment.
"Pack up and get ready to go back, my mother should be worried later." Fortunately, I didn't have a busy day in vain.
"Do you want to bring this basket back?" Lin Anyu looked at the fishing artifact in his hand, and didn't want to put it here, if someone took it away, it would be a big loss.
"You drag them to the river over there, and remember to tie them up with something." This thing is soaked in water, but it is much heavier than before it was in the water.
With the small arms and legs of the two of them, there is no way to get the fish and the basket back.
These two big fish were enough for the two of them to carry them back for half a day.
Lin Yuer found a piece of wood, and the two of them lifted it to the side, struggling to carry it home.
The fish wasn't very heavy, but it was much heavier with the river water to keep it from dying.
The two of them took a few steps to rest for a while.
By the time they got to their doorstep, the sun was already setting.
Lin Anfeng, who was already waiting at the door of the house, saw what the two of them were struggling to carry, and rushed up quickly.
"Big brother, my sister and I caught a fish!" Seeing the eldest brother running over, Lin Anyu gestured at him excitedly.
"Really?" Lin Anfeng hurriedly ran over, and sure enough, he saw two big grass carp in the barrel.
"Mother, come and see, we have caught a fish!" Lin Anyu couldn't wait for everyone to see that he had caught a fish.
"Be quiet! If someone else hears about it, you won't have any fish to catch in the future! Lin Yu'er looked at him helplessly.
At the speed of his nonsense, soon, everyone in the real village learned to weave baskets to catch fish.
This basket can't be compiled, and sooner or later the method of catching fish in this basket will be spread.
But Lin Yuer still hopes that she will be discovered later, catch more fish, and sell them in the town when she can't finish eating.
"Got it." Seeing that his sister had a good brain, Lin Anyu responded aggrievedly.
Who let him catch a fish for the first time, where can he be like this stinky girl, he is not excited at all.
"Really caught a fish! An Yu and Sanya are really amazing! Seeing the fish in the bucket, a hint of surprise flashed in Li Yunniang's eyes.
I thought these two little dolls were joking, but I didn't expect to really catch a fish.
"Mother, I want to drink fish soup at night!" Lin Yu'er began to order, and when she saw this fish, she had already begun to swallow her saliva.
"Tomorrow is the town market, so let's sell these two fish." Li Yunniang looked at the longing gaze in the children's eyes and said ruthlessly.
"Mother, this is something we finally caught!" Lin Yuer said dissatisfiedly.
If it weren't for the meat she was eating, what would she have worked so hard for.
"Sister, next time my brother will go with you to catch it, let's eat it then." Lin Anfeng is thirteen years old, so he naturally knows the current situation in his family.
If these two big fish are sold, they can be exchanged for a few catties of white rice to go home.
Although Lin Yuer also knows how poor her family has become now, it is still difficult to calm down when the meat nine in her mouth flies like this.
"Why don't you kill one and eat it?" Seeing Lin Yuer running back angrily, Li Yunniang hesitated.
After all, this was caught by the children themselves, and it was really a bit unpleasant to use it to subsidize the family.
"Mother, I'll sell these two first, and I'll catch them next time and make up for my sister." Lin Anfeng said while swallowing his saliva.
"Then next time you go with Sanya, grab a big one and make it up for her." Li Yunniang brought the fish to the side, scooped a bucket full of water and raised the fish.
"Sister? Still angry? Lin Anfeng walked in and saw Lin Yuer lying on the bed angrily.
Lin Yuer turned her body on her back, and she didn't know what she was angry about.
"Don't be angry, how about my brother take you to the town tomorrow to catch the market?" Seeing that she ignored herself, she had no choice but to throw a tempting bait.
"You're serious!" Sure enough, Lin Yu'er bounced up from the bed in an instant.
From the village to the town, she needs to pay a penny, and she has only been to the town once when she grows so big.
"When did my brother lie to you!" Lin Anfeng looked at his sister and finally became happy, and he laughed stupidly.
