Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days

Youcai chased after Jidong and reminded him, "Where is the fishing net you promised me?"

Jidong gave him a calming look and ran to Zhang Xiuhua, "Aunt, when will the fishing net arrive?"

Zhang Xiuhua smiled and said, "I asked Zhou Zhiqing to buy it for me. I don't know if she bought it or not. I'll know when I get home."

When Youcai heard this, he ran back home in a flash. Baolin and Yaoyao thought everyone was running a race, so they followed him in a scattered manner.

Zhuzhu was like a little duck, chasing after her brothers and sisters with her short legs, but her brothers and sisters ran too fast and soon left her behind. She pouted and wanted to cry.

Jilin was still calm and took the initiative to hold her hand, "Don't cry, brother is with you!"

Only then did Zhuzhu stop crying.

When they got home, Zhou Pandi and Li Xiaoying had already returned. They had already eaten and were roasting bean dregs in the kitchen. These bean dregs were sold on the black market. They had eaten them several times before, and the children were tired of them. Besides, bean products cannot be eaten every day because the nutrition is too monotonous.

If you keep the bean dregs at home, they will easily go bad when the weather gets warmer, and then they can only be used as fertilizer.

Youcai ran over eagerly, "Teacher Zhou, did you buy the fishing net that Aunt Zhang asked you to buy?"

Zhou Pandi nodded, "I bought it. It's on the table in the main hall, you can take it yourself."

Youcai ran back to the house excitedly and saw two red fishing net bags. He took the iron wire and tied it into a circle, then went to the firewood pile and found two straight and long sticks to use as handles for the fishing net.

This kid does what he likes quickly and well.

"How is it? Isn't it great?" After Youcai finished his work, he showed it off to others.

Zhang Xiuhua thought it was indeed good, "Okay! Let your uncle take you to the river to fish tomorrow."

When Youcai heard that an adult was going with them, his face fell.

"If he doesn't go, you are not allowed to go either!" Zhang Xiuhua glared.

Youcai then reluctantly agreed, "Okay then."

The next morning, before daybreak, Youcai got up to make breakfast and woke up Jidong as well.

Jidong tolerated him for the sake of money.

After the two brothers finished making breakfast, they went to knock on the doors of other rooms and woke up everyone in the family, "Wake up! The sun is shining on your butt!"

Zhang Xiuhua rubbed her eyes and looked at the clock. It was only seven o'clock in the morning. What time did the child get up?

After washing up, breakfast was already on the table. Youcai ate it ravenously, as fast as a starving ghost.

Baolin was sobbing as he watched, "Eat slowly! No one is going to snatch it from you! Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Of course I'm anxious. I went to Wangyang in the middle of the day, but all the fish had been snatched away by others." Youcai ate with big mouthfuls and did not forget to tease Baolin.

Jidong reminded him, "But the master hasn't woken up yet, right? What's the point of you being alone!"

Youcai sneered, "You don't know this, right? I asked Hongwu, and they get up at six in the morning. Because the kang is turned off early and is not warm."

Everyone suddenly realized what was going on. No wonder he got up so early.

Jidong also wanted to catch fish, so he could only speed up.

Youcai finished eating and wanted to sneak away to find the old man, but Jidong stopped him with a word, "I need to write an essay, you have to wait for me! That net is mine."

Youcai glared at him angrily and could only wait for Jidong to finish eating. Then he picked up the poke and ran out holding Jidong's hand like a gust of wind.

Baolin and Yaoyao also wanted to see the fishing, so they ate a few mouthfuls of rice, picked up a sweet potato, and followed behind to watch the fun.

So there were only two children left at the dinner table: Jilin, who was slow-tempered and didn't care about anything, and Zhuzhu, who was clueless about the situation.

After the two children finished their meal leisurely, Zhang Xiuhua cleaned up the table and took the two children to the river according to the route Youcai had mentioned before.

Zhang Xiuhua always thought that the river Youcai was talking about was a long and narrow river like the one in her hometown, but after she walked for about ten minutes, she was stunned by what she saw.

This river is so wide that it is not an exaggeration to call it a lake.

The surface of the river was covered with thick ice, at least thirty centimeters thick. Not to mention the ice breaking and falling off, she could easily jump around on it a few times.

Zhuzhu was able to walk steadily on land, but on the ice, it was too slippery and she was a little scared. Jilin held her little hand and moved forward carefully. She really moved forward like a turtle.

It’s no wonder that only Jilin, who has a slow temper, can accompany Zhuzhu without getting tired of it.

Zhang Xiuhua heard the shouts of children not far away. She looked around and saw no one around and no danger, so she ran over to see what was going on.

When they got closer, they saw that there was no fish, but Li Jiandang was hitting the water at the hole with a fishing net, splashing water. The other children who were watching the fun backed away, and only Youcai was waiting for his chance with the fishing net.

Jidong saw his aunt coming and was explaining to her with a curious look on his face, "Aunt, the old man said that if you beat the water, fish will jump out. Is that true?"

Zhang Xiuhua had no idea. She had never seen this kind of fishing method before. After thinking for a while, she said, "When we get back, ask the two teachers what the principle is."

Jidong nodded.

After Li Jiandang had hit it dozens of times, a fish finally floated up. Youcai seized the opportunity and scooped the fishing net into the water. A fish fell onto the ice and jumped up and down, trying to get back into the water. However, Baolin, who was quick-witted and quick-handed, held the fish in her arms. She giggled with joy, "Haha, I caught it!"

Zhang Xiuhua also laughed. This method actually worked to catch fish.

Jilin and Zhuzhu finally came over with their short legs. Baolin held the fish and showed it to his brothers and sisters, "Look! I caught a fish!"

Zhuzhu opened her two grape-sized eyes and opened her little mouth into an O shape, looking at the fish curiously. She even tentatively touched the fish's head with her little hand. When the fish jumped and splashed water all over her, she was so scared that she sat down on the ground.

Ji Lin carefully looked at the fish and looked at Zhang Xiuhua eagerly, "Mom, which part of the fish is the most delicious?"

Zhang Xiuhua smiled and said, "The meat below the gills is the most delicious."

Ji Lin suddenly realized.

When the other children saw that they could really catch fish, their initial doubts turned into excitement and even enthusiasm. They kept urging Youcai, "Hurry up, hurry up, catch the fish!"

Jidong felt that Youcai was too dumb to cooperate with the old man, so he took back his fishing net and waved his hand, "You stay over there and rest, I'll do it!"

Youcai was so tired that he was out of breath. Even though he had only swung his hook once, the fish weighed at least three kilograms, and it felt like a thousand kilograms underwater. He felt relieved only after he pulled it to the surface.

Li Jiandang stirred it a dozen times and the fish appeared. Jidong stretched the fishing net into the water. His movements were so quick and rapid, but he was so excited that the fish actually slipped down the fishing net.

Youcai was so anxious, "Oh! Why are you so stupid!"

Jidong had no time to pay attention to Youcai. He had already started the second net and this time he finally caught the fish on shore.

This fish is relatively small, weighing only a little over one pound.

But Jidong was very satisfied. He glanced at Youcai and said, "Sorry, it's my first time fishing, so my hands are a little slippery!"

Talented people are good at grinding their teeth.

Zhang Xiuhua deliberately interrupted, "Why is there a big hole here?"

With such thick ice, it would be impossible for just a few of them to make such a big hole.

Youcai explained, "This is the hole that the fishing team made before. I made a mark here before, and I just knocked it open with a stone."

Zhang Xiuhua suddenly understood.

Then the fish gradually came up, not just one or two fish that slipped through the net, but in groups. Jidong's small body couldn't handle so many fish, so he had to hand the fishing net to Youcai.

Youcai is old and strong, and he uses the fishing net as a spatula, wielding it vigorously. Soon many small fish jump on the ice.

These fish are not big, only about half a pound. They are very small, only the size of an adult man's palm. But putting so many together is also spectacular.
