After returning home, Liu Xuexia washed more than a dozen pike crabs left over from others today and prepared to steam them at night.

Li Yonglin is cleaning up the row hooks at home and preparing to take them out tomorrow.

Li Xiaofeng is using his mobile phone to surf the Internet, collecting some information about auction houses and antique shops, and is ready to have time to take the harvest of his last adventure to appraise it, and sell it at the right price.

At this time, Li Yongmin and his family walked in.

Li Xiaofeng saw it and hurriedly said hello: "Third uncle! ”

Then he pulled out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it over.

Li Yongmin took the cigarette, Li Xiaofeng helped him light it again, and he also lit one.

Li Yonglin saw it, put down the row hook in his hand, and walked over. Li Xiaofeng hurriedly ordered another one for Li Yonglin.

The three men chatted in the courtyard like this.

Li Xiaofeng has no addiction to smoking, and he usually doesn't smoke when he is alone, but if he is smoked by others, he will also smoke one with him.

The third aunt, Wang Yufen, walked to the kitchen and chatted with Liu Xuexia.

Li Yongmin took a hard sip, frowned and asked Li Yonglin, "Second brother, how have you been harvesting recently?" ”

"The harvest is not bad!" Li Yonglin replied truthfully while smoking.

Today, I just earned more than 40,000 yuan!

Of course, this is to say this in front of a person like Li Yongmin who has a good relationship, and if someone else asks, it will be a different answer.

Li Yongmin said with a bitter face: "I haven't caught any serious fish for a week in a row, and I haven't made any oil money back!" ”

Li Xiaofeng knows that the burden on the third uncle Li Yongmin's family is also very heavy, not only does he have a pair of parents in his seventies to support, his cousin and his two sons work in Dongzhou, and the salary is not high, and he has a child to raise, and the third uncle has to give them a part of the subsidy every year.

Almost all of the family's income depends on fishing, but it is a little better than the previous situation of Li Xiaofeng's family.

Li Yonglin opened his mouth, not knowing how to comfort him.

I know the situation of my own family, and when my son didn't come back before, the situation was not much better than the current situation of the third family.

However, the third child is really good to himself, and when his family was in trouble before, he didn't help himself less.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Li Xiaofeng with some expectation.

Looking at the third uncle with a sad face, and then looking at his father who was looking at him with anticipation, Li Xiaofeng couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

In this situation of the third uncle's family, he must want to help.

Chinese pay attention to the grace of receiving dripping water, when the spring reciprocates!

In the past, when his family was in difficulty, and he was not at home, the third uncle did not help less, but now that the third uncle is in difficulty, he must help no matter what!

The key now is how to help, I can't point to an area in the sea and say to the third uncle, I know there are a lot of fish there, you can go over.

After a deep groan, he opened his mouth and said, "Third uncle, do you have a larger fence in your house?" ”

Purse seine nets are also a type of fishing nets commonly used by fishermen, which are large nets in the shape of long bands or sacs composed of nets and nets. Generally, two boats are used to pull the two ends of the net to surround the fish, and then gradually reduce the encirclement, and finally pull the rope at the lower end of the net to gather the fish, so as to achieve the purpose of fishing.

Li Yongmin looked at him hesitantly and said: "There is one purse seine net, which is big enough, with a length of 2,000 meters, but it hasn't been used for a while." The main thing is that this thing is cumbersome to use, and it is rare to encounter large schools of fish nowadays. ”

"Recently, our family has been lucky, and the ship has a new power system, why don't we try it together?" Li Xiaofeng said with a smile, "But whether you can catch the fish or not depends on luck, after all, no one can say for sure!" ”

Li Yongmin was a little hesitant when he heard this, he was not afraid that he would not be able to catch the fish, he knew that this was his nephew who wanted to help him, but he was afraid of delaying the affairs of the second brother's family.

People are not bad luck now, and their income is not bad, if they don't catch fish because they help themselves, and they delay the second brother's own family, then they feel guilty.

Li Yonglin saw the third child's thoughts, and hurriedly said: "No one can guarantee that they will be able to surround the fish, this can only depend on luck, and no one can blame anyone for bad luck." ”

Li Xiaofeng thought that the third uncle was afraid that he would not be able to surround the fish, so he continued: "No one can say whether you can surround the fish, third uncle, you should also think about it, if you can't surround the fish by then, don't blame me." ”

Li Xiaofeng felt that it was necessary to make things clear first, after all, even if he had a map, there were variables whether he could find fish or not, and he really couldn't find fish at that time, so as not to affect the relationship between the two families.

After listening to Li Xiaofeng's words, Li Yongmin put down his mind and said with a smile: "I still don't understand this rule, it's not that the third uncle is afraid that he won't be able to catch a fish, but that he is afraid of delaying your business!" ”

As soon as this matter was said, everyone put their minds at ease, and the three of them began to discuss how to get off the net.

In the end, the conversation was rising, and Li Yonglin and Li Yongmin simply went to Li Yongmin's house to see the seine net.

Liu Xuexia and the third aunt Wang Yufen came out of the kitchen, and when they saw that Li Xiaofeng was the only one in the courtyard, they asked strangely: "Feng cub, where are your father and your third uncle?" ”

Li Xiaofeng said with a smile: "The two of them just chatted happily, and they went to the third uncle's house to see the seine net together!" I see that the third aunt, don't go back to cook for a while, Mom, you cook a few more dishes, and I will invite the third grandfather and the third grandmother over in a while, and the two of us will have a meal together! ”

Liu Xuexia felt that what her son said was very reasonable, and the two families were not outsiders, so she took Wang Yufen to the kitchen to cook a few more dishes.

The third aunt Wang Yufen was not polite, after all, the relationship between the two families is here, and they are not outsiders.

Seeing that the dishes were almost done, Li Xiaofeng went directly to Li Yongmin's house, invited the third grandfather and the third grandmother over, and by the way, Li Yonglin and Li Yongmin, who were still studying the fence, also called back.

The dinner was very rich, and Liu Xuexia took out all the delicious food in the refrigerator and cooked it.

The two families sat together, happily chatting while eating. The core of the chat at the dinner table is to prepare for the two families to go to the fence together tomorrow.

The third grandfather, Li Deyong, is also an experienced old fisherman, who paid a lot of attention to several people, and simply prepared to follow him to the net tomorrow.

Li Xiaofeng hurriedly tried to persuade the third grandfather to dispel this idea, but the old man was very stubborn.

But to be honest, Li Deyong's health is indeed good, and it has not been a few years since he got off the ship.

In this way, the two families chatted while eating, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was also very good, and after eating, the two families discussed around the tea table for a while, and finally Li Yongmin's family said goodbye.

Li Xiaofeng's family sent them to the door before returning.

Li Xiaofeng couldn't help but look forward to tomorrow's purse seine net, compared to the first time he had used purse seine fishing when he came back.
