There is a custom in the village that when the fish pond is cleaned at the end of the year, when the owner thinks that the big fish are netted, the children will be allowed to take the net to the fish pond to copy the small fish.

This is the time when the boys are most excited, because it is a rare group activity, lively and exciting, which can not only compete with their peers in fishing skills, but also fry the fish they have caught.

It can be said that the collective fishing pond to catch fish that has slipped through the net is the only collective play that will not be scolded by parents.

Hearing that the main family Liu Chunhua was relieved, the boys who had been guarding the fish pond for a long time raised their trouser legs and went down to the fish pond in a swarm, each holding a large and small net in their hands, and carrying a small fish basket made of bamboo on their backs.

The net has a long wooden pole or bamboo pole as a handle, and one end is equipped with a round brace, which is simple and practical, and is mostly used for fishing in shallow waters.

When a man stands in the water, he sees a fish, and he quickly copies it with a net, puts it into the net, and collects the fish from the net.

Most of the villagers dig a fish pond in front of a relatively large house, large or small, and throw some grass into the fish pond by the way, and at the end of the year they can harvest the big fish in the fish pond.

When you usually want to eat fish, stand on the shore of the fish pond, throw some rice bran and other things into the fish pond, and then hold the net in your hand, and see a big fish coming, and you can pick up the fish with a quick movement.

Therefore, almost every household has this kind of fishing net, which is specially used to catch fish.

It was noon, and the water in the pond was not very cold, and the taller boys tentatively walked to the center of the pond, and the water had soaked up to their thighs, wetting the high trouser legs, and they laughed loudly, not careless.

Because of the depth of the water, there will be big fish, and if you catch a big fish that slips through the net, it is more affordable than catching a thousand small fish and shrimp.

Some of the shorter boys only dare to fish in the shallow water, and occasionally stretch out the net in their hands to catch small fish that have surfaced, which are dizzy and unaware of the fish that the children have stirred up.

There are also some girls, not to be outdone, standing in a place where there is no water, staring at the water with smart eyes, and catching the small fish and shrimp that swim to the edge one by one to the nets in their hands, and the harvest will not be bad.

Some of the smaller girls don't need to pick up nets at all, but only use their hands to pick up some small fish and shrimp that jump up in the waterless area.

The children laughed loudly in the fish pond, and occasionally someone caught a fish weighing half a catty, and cheered and their morale was high.

The adults stood on the shore of the pond and watched the excitement, talking about whose children caught the most fish, and some would tell the children loudly that there were bigger fish here and bigger fish there, which made the children scramble.

There are also a few adults who go to join in the fun, and go down to the fish pond in person, in short, the fish pond is very lively, laughter is constant, and exclamations are constant.

This can last for nearly an hour, and the boys will go ashore one after another, pour the fish out of the basket and put it in the barrel, and compete with each other to see who catches the most fish and the biggest.

At this time, the fish in the fish pond, large and small, are almost gone.

Huang Meixiang and Liu Chunhua are still shaking the water wheel, Qiuqiu and the fifth sister will change shifts with them, the water in the fish pond is getting less and less, and you can see the black pond mud in the fish pond.

The next day, the water in the fish pond was almost dry, and some boys came to the fish pond.

They stepped on the depths of the pond mud, saw the bubbling place on the surface of the pond mud, and put their hands in the pond mud, fast speed, good luck, can touch a fish called mud carp weighing more than half a catty, or a fish with whiskers, the local dialect is called "pond slippery".
