Chapter 36: Sweeping the Fish

The next thing was even simpler, Zhang Chi took off two round probing nets from the wall, threw them on his car, and then took a large plastic box containing fish from the uncle's warehouse, a huge box, more than one meter long, seventy or eighty centimeters wide, and seventy centimeters deep.

"That's it?"

Lao Xu asked.

Zhang Chi listened and asked, "You haven't caught fish in the river?" ”

This question is asked, Zhang Chi doesn't know how to answer him, these things are not enough?

Lao Xu shook his head: "I really haven't caught a fish yet, and as soon as I get here, I'm busy with a few mouths of the family, how can I have this time."

"It's easy to catch fish here, and you'll know when the time comes," Zhang Chi said.

After taking the things, Zhang Chi took Lao Xu to catch the fish.

Leaving Zhang Youliang's small farm, Lao Xu was still a little unsatisfied, he had always wanted to buy a farm, and when he saw Zhang Youliang's small farm, he felt that it was really to his heart.

Now the farms he looks at are all American-style, and they are also taken care of by Americans, although they are all farms, but Zhang Youliang's farm has a Chinese flavor, and it is not all Chinese flavor, but the kind of taste that combines China.

There are American-style lawns and Chinese-style ridges, which are interwoven into a different style.

Let's put it this way, this small farm almost satisfies all of Lao Xu's fantasies about the farm.

Listening to Lao Xu's rambling about asking about the farm, Zhang Chi was a little speechless.

"Lao Xu, I really don't know too much about this, my uncle and aunt have always taken care of it, and when they took over the farm, I had already moved out."

"I see that your uncle is not bad to you, why did you move out?" Lao Xu asked.

Zhang Chi listened and said: "He is my uncle and aunt, not my parents, I can't always stay in their house, originally they didn't agree, but I insisted on it in the end."

Zhang Chi's father has always told Zhang Chi that he should not always think about bothering others, his uncle and aunt are good to him, but Zhang Chi also has to know how to be measured.

Knowing proportion, which is very important in society. Remembering grace and knowing proportion is a more prominent good quality in Zhang Chi's character

"My dad said, don't rely on the uncle for everything, although the uncle and aunt are very good to me, but people have to be measured, and with proportion, they can get along better,......."

Lao Xu listened and looked at Zhang Chi, patted his thigh and said in agreement: "What your father said is right, if you keep relying on others, people will be annoying, and a little contradiction may magnify the contradiction."

Lao Xu agreed, and he couldn't agree anymore.

"It's a bit long to say, my nephew, my nephew came here to go to school, I don't know what my sister thinks, thirteen or fourteen-year-old children come to school, what can they learn, all day long except play is play.

The child is still very blind and doesn't do any work. Although I didn't expect him to do any work, my children all worked to earn pocket money, and this child just didn't see it, and went to play games after eating the bowl.

This is not the most excessive, the most excessive is to wear a famous brand, not a famous brand not to wear, spend a lot of money, no money to ask me, once or twice I can accept, but this kid has to buy hundreds of dollars of shoes at every turn, hundreds of dollars of T-shirts...... How can an average family raise such a child?"

Hearing Zhang Chi say this, Lao Xu began to complain about his bitterness and talked about his nephew's situation in the United States.

Listening to Lao Xu, Zhang Chi had to smile, such things are not uncommon.

"In the end, before I could spend money and effort, my nephew came back to tell my sister that he would not be given food or clothing on my side, as if I had abused him as an uncle.

My sister was not happy to hear this, and my brother-in-law was even more of an old man with a sloppy face, and he was like an enemy when he met, so in the end I simply let him find a host family to live in."

Lao Xu said this, and sighed: "When I arrived at the host family, I was kicked out of the door by three families in less than half a year, and finally my sister and my brother-in-law said that they wanted to come to our house, and I replied directly: Don't come, I can't afford to raise it!" The two families are still not talking."

"It's enough to have a clear conscience in doing things, and thinking too much will only increase your troubles," Zhang Chi opened his mouth to persuade.

"What else?" Lao Xu sighed again in frustration: "The children now are not like us at that time, there is life in the eyes, the children now, hey!" ”。

"I have to say that people like Ling and your uncle are really uncommon now, anyway, a few relatives and children I know live in, even if they don't turn their backs, they can't be left behind" Lao Xu said.

followed Lao Xu and began to praise Zhang Chi.

That guy praised, originally Zhang Chi felt that he could already do his heart like still water like waves, and his chest like an ancient well, who knew that he was praised by Lao Xu, Zhang Chi felt that he had the opportunity to add a big chicken leg to Lao Xu, otherwise he would not be able to get over it, and Zhang Chi who praised him was too useful.

The two of them chattered and soon came to the side of the river.

There were no people by the river, and there were no ranches and farms, but this area belonged to the Commonwealth, but it was actually a big wasteland, with all kinds of wild animals except weeds, and of course, abandoned horses, mules, and donkeys.

Zhang Chi didn't find these things today, but when he came here before, it was not uncommon to see these things drinking and grazing in groups by the river.

When I got to the river, I found a flat place along the river, poured the car into the riverbank, and slowly lowered the trailer into the river.

Wait for the bed on the trailer to float up, and the task of releasing the boat is completed.

Parking the car on the shore, Zhang Chi took the exploration net, and the plastic box containing the fish got on the boat.

After getting on the boat, Lao Xu lowered his head and said to Zhang Chi: "There are so many fish here, they are not small, you can see that they can weigh almost two or three catties!" ”

"These fish are a little small, let's go to the open place above the river, the fish over there are big," Zhang Chi said.

The motors moved together, and before they reached the middle of the river, fish jumped on the water.

Alarmed by the sound of the motor, the fish jumped out of the water, and then slammed into the water again, making a splash.

"I'll go, I'll go, there are so many fish."

Lao Xu grinned happily and shouted at Zhang Chi, who was driving the boat.

"Silly Lao Mei doesn't eat it, of course there are too many fish, pay attention, don't let the small fish jump on the boat, you can't throw back the fish that jumps on the boat, and you will be fined if you throw it back, who knows if there are stupid policemen squatting on both sides, they caught and recorded, and the fine is enough to buy a boatload of fish," Zhang Chi said.

Invisible places can break the law, now if this place is caught, it will be difficult to say, Zhang Chi does not dare, afraid of being fined, the fine here is not a fine of twenty or thirty yuan, it is hundreds at every turn, according to the real average salary, you can kill half of the income at one time.

It's too ruthless.

Lao Xu smiled and said, "I know, I know."

Lao Xu lives in a place where there is a river, but the river is not big, the fish does not grow like this, like the current river is almost nearly 20 meters wide, although the depth of the water is not known, but from the fish that jumped up, the water is definitely not shallow.

All the way upstream, the flatter river, a burst of fish splashed next to the boat.

As the river became wider and wider, the fish in the middle also got bigger and bigger, and even if Lao Xu was holding the rod of the probe net and pumping the fish, some of the fish still fell into the cabin.

"Alright, here it is!"

Zhang Chi stopped the boat, did not turn off the motor, and let the motor rotate.

Picking up the probe net, Zhang Chi looked at the schools of fish jumping around the boat, and found that there were satisfactory fish, so he copied the probe net and covered it.

The probability of success is not high, but there are many fish that can't stand it, and the eyes are full of fish jumping out of the water, and almost all of them are four or five catties up, even if they sweep a net in the air, there are seven or eight out of ten that can catch a fish.

Lao Xu also learned from Zhang Chi at this moment, and began to sweep the fish with the probing net in his hand, the more he swept, the happier he became, and finally he yelled while sweeping the fish.

Hey-ha! Hey-ha!

Lao Xu kept sweeping the fish.

Zhang Chi swept a few, and then said to Lao Xu: "Don't sweep it, it's enough, it's enough!" ”

"Is that enough? I haven't swept enough, sweep more, and when I go back, I'll ask Sister Lu to pickle a stinky fish for you, let me tell you this, the taste guarantees that you can't stop eating a bite, we have to get fish to marinate almost every year, but we all buy it from Chinese supermarkets, I didn't expect that I could still make fish like this here, so I won't spend this unjust money in the future......."

Lao Xu said as he continued to wave the exploration net in his hand.

Hearing Lao Xu say this, Zhang Chi no longer persuaded him, but filled the plastic box with water, then connected the oxygenation equipment, and put the fish caught in the cabin into the plastic box.

These fish don't die so easily, and it's impossible for fish that die out of the water to flood here. Even if you throw it in the pod for ten or twenty minutes, these fish can rejuvenate as soon as they dip it in water.

Sweeping all the fish in the cabin into the box, Zhang Chi saw that Lao Xu hadn't stopped, and he was playing like a child of two hundred pounds in his thirties and forties.

Get!

Just wait.

Looking at Lao Xu, Zhang Chi felt that he usually wouldn't have much time to be as happy as today, so he sat on the chair and watched Lao Xu sweep the fish.

One net after another, and finally the boxes could not be filled, and the fish in the boxes were squeezed like canned sardines.

"Yo, there are so many boys, if you don't fight, you won't fight, good guy, you haven't felt anything yet, you actually swept such a big bunch."

Lao Xu finally put down the probing net in his hand and leaned over to the box to look at the fish inside.

"Don't sweep it?"

Seeing Lao Xu nodded, Zhang Chi turned the car around and drove towards the uncle's house.

When passing by the gas station, he helped the uncle fill up the fuel tank in the boat, and entered the farm again, Zhang Chi moved the fish box to his pickup truck, pulled out the uncle's water gun, and washed the boat inside and out.

There was no hurry to send it to the warehouse, so Zhang Chi had to put the undried ship at the door of the warehouse.

took Lao Xu back to the restaurant, the uncle had already returned, and there were people in the restaurant, and the two of them had little time to talk to Zhang Chi after they were busy.

Because Lao Xu was there, Zhang Chi couldn't stay to help, so he had to return the key to the eldest uncle and help take care of it for ten minutes, and then took Lao Xu back to his ranch.
