So when Lin He and Li Changhui came back, Xie Jiang had already gone to find a bucket by himself, filled a bucket of fish, and waited for them to go back on the edge of the pond.

"Why are you here?" Lin He was a little surprised, the two of them had only gotten together once a few days ago, and it stands to reason that at the beginning of the year, Xie Jiang was going to visit relatives and friends, so he should be very busy.

"Mrs. Sister-in-law, Brother Li, you can be regarded as back."

Xie Jiang greeted him with a smile.

"But let me wait, I want to go to the mountains to find you, but I'm afraid that I will stagger, but fortunately, I went to the edge of the canal and went around, and when I came back, I found that it was almost lunch time, and I guessed that you should come back too, so I just waited here."

Lin He swept his eyes and saw the fish in the bucket: "Listen to what the children said? You won't come here specifically for these fish, will you? ”

Xie Jiang nodded: "Isn't it?" Fortunately, I went to the barbecue restaurant today to have a look, otherwise I would have missed the news. ”

Without waiting for the two to ask, Xie Jiang said bluntly: "Mrs. Sister-in-law, I heard that the fish in this pond can be caught in the afternoon, I will find someone to come over when the time comes, I will buy some big ones first, will you do it?" ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the bucket in front of him: "There are still some here, and we will settle the accounts together in the afternoon." ”

There's nothing wrong with this: "Forget about these, you can take them home and eat them, my pond is not small, and it is not so bad." ”

Xie Jiang instantly smiled: "Then thank you, Mrs. Sister-in-law, it just so happens that the koi fish in the yard were stolen by a cat last time, and now they are used to raise fish." ”

Lin He nodded and didn't say much, Xie Jiang chatted with the two of them, and hurriedly went back, the year is not over yet, and he is very busy.

As for selling the fish to Xie Jiang, it will save trouble, as for how to sell it and who to sell it to, she doesn't have to worry about it.

"Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, and they should be back today."

On weekdays, they all come back after the Lantern Festival, after all, their parents and elders are in their hometown, and this time they want to take the children to play during the Lantern Festival, so they said in advance that they will come back before the Lantern Festival.

Li Changhui nodded: "If you start early in the morning, you can come back before dark." ”

While talking, the two were ready to go back, and the children did not come home, and they were not in a hurry.

Lin He's management of the children is relatively relaxed, it may be that Li Changhui is an example, the children are very self-disciplined, when it is time to study and rest, Li Yu and Li Hao have their own schedules, and they can also remind the youngest Li An.

So in most cases, Lin He just cooks, and when he is bored, he goes to the field to buy food and clothing at home all year round.

"Cook more that night, and when they come back, they can also have a hot meal, so that they don't have to cook it when they go home, by the way, what do you eat at noon?"

"It's okay, I saw Hao'er's reaction last night, and I should have come back early today."

"I think he wants to go into the pond to catch fish, the older this kid is, the more obvious the difference in personality, Yu'er went up to the mountains every day to catch it when she was a child, and now she is holding a book and has no interest in anything else."

The two talked and laughed, and went home to get some food, but they didn't mess around so much every day, mainly because the two of them were similar to a few children, and what they were thinking about was the situation in the pond.

It's a pity that they prepared quickly, and even the three Li Yu brothers came back not long after the meal, but it was not so easy to release water from the pond.

Eventually, all the outlets were dug up, and after another half an hour, the pond finally ran out of water.

And at this time, it was already time to apply.

Xie Jiang also sent someone to pull the ox cart over early, and the others told him in the morning that by spreading a layer of oilcloth in the ox cart, it could be turned into a big water wheel.

"Mother, can I go into the water to catch fish?" At this time, Li Hao was eager to try beside him, and even held a pair of water boots in his arms.

Lin He signaled: "Go ahead, slow down after entering the water, be careful not to fall, the weather is cold, and it is easy to catch a cold." ”

"Okay, thank you, mother, big brother, do you want to go down?"

"I'm going, I'm going, second brother, you wait for me, and I'm going to catch fish."

Li An couldn't wait, so he hurriedly found a smaller water shoe, and followed the second brother into the pond with a roar.

At this time, there was still a water level about a foot high in the pond, and it was visible to the naked eye, and large fish were shuttling in it, the longest of which was at least as long as an arm.

The water is still clear, everyone is wearing water shoes, and there are a lot of bamboo baskets next to it, so shallow water, directly scoop it with the back basket, and you will be able to catch fish.

But as soon as the brothers went, the water instantly became muddy, and the nearby fish scattered in an instant.

One of the brothers carried a basket and the other dragged a bamboo basket, and soon they were happy in the pond.

Lin He looked at Li Yu, who had been standing on the shore: "What's wrong?" Don't want to go down and play? ”

If it was six years ago, no, Li Yu three years ago, he would definitely have been in the water by now.

However, now Li Yu shook his head: "If you don't want to go down, I'll just watch everyone catch fish here." ”

Lin He thought he was thin-skinned: "Are you embarrassed?" What are you afraid of, let's not say that this is in your own home, and you are only two years older than Hao'er, and you are still a child, so you can go down and play if you want to? ”

Li Yu continued to shake his head: "No, I really don't want to go into the water, I feel ......"

Saying that, looking at the two younger brothers with interest, Li Hao had already caught two fish, was picking them up for them to see, and then threw them into the bamboo basket, while Li An dragged the bamboo basket and followed behind the second brother.

"I think it's more interesting to look at it right here."

At this time, there were already a lot of people in the water, and the pond was almost completely muddy, and many people easily caught big fish, not to mention how excited.

Li Yu saw that everyone was busy, and he really didn't want to go down, so Lin He didn't persuade him.

Although this personality change is a bit big, it's not surprising that children are not so playful when they grow up.

Lin He took two steps forward, and was immediately stopped by Li Changhui: "It's too cold, you can't go into the water." ”

This is to think that Lin He also wants to go down to the fish pond to catch fish himself.

Lin He was helpless: "What am I going down for, I get dirty, I have to wash my hair when I go back, it's very troublesome, I just go to ask, can I touch the lotus root below." ”

After a while, almost everyone was dirty, even if they were wearing water pants, even if they had tried to be as careful as possible, they were still flung by the fishtail, and their faces were covered with mud, and their hair was not spared.

Li Yu next to him nodded secretly, but no, it's okay to play here, but it's troublesome later, but unfortunately the couple didn't pay attention to it at all.

Without waiting for Lin He to ask, someone pulled out a lotus root that was at least three feet long from the silt.

"Master Li, Mrs. Li, this lotus root grows so big, it's bigger than the one in the lotus root field!"
