Seeing that Li Jiandang had no strength left, Zhang Xiuhua stepped forward to help and also helped to stir the matter.

I don’t know if it was because she was too weak or what, but after stirring for more than ten times, she didn’t catch any fish.

Just then, the three Hongwu siblings came running over.

Seeing that they had caught a lot of fish, I volunteered to help.

Li Jianshe frowned when he saw that they were wearing cotton shoes. "You got your shoes wet, but you have nowhere to change. You'd better not play anymore!"

Hongwu couldn't bear it any longer, so he took the fishing net from Zhang Xiuhua and started hitting the ice.

Several children came on the stage. This was no longer a game of fishing, but a half-playful one, fishing while playing. A large splash of water appeared on the ice. Zhang Xiuhua picked up Zhuzhu, took Jilin's hand, and moved the two children aside. The other children also scattered and dodged.

But the children couldn't bear it for a moment and came closer again. The soles of their shoes were soon soaked by water, and they shivered with cold.

Zhang Xiuhua was afraid that they would catch a cold, so she quickly told them to stop playing and "go home quickly."

Youcai came over with a smile on his face, picked up the fish, put the fish into the bucket, and walked home with a smile on his face, carrying the fishing net.

Zhang Xiuhua first took the children to Li Jianshe's home. Xu Chunying saw that the children's shoes were wet and scolded them, "You deserve to freeze to death! Take off your shoes and dry them!"

Hongwu didn't dare to say a word and went back to the house to dry his shoes.

Zhang Xiuhua took half of the fish and put it into the wooden barrel.

Xu Chunying was also a little surprised when she saw how many fish they caught. "How could there be so many?"

"lucky!"

Xu Chunying wanted to refuse, but Zhang Xiuhua walked out with a bucket of water, "Burn it quickly!"

When they got home, the children changed their rubber shoes into cotton shoes.

Zhang Xiuhua taught Youcai how to stew iron fish. Fish has bones, so you can’t put cabbage in it. It’s better to add some tofu.

There were more than ten fish, and she couldn't eat them all at once. She kept a few in the bucket to eat tomorrow.

"Mom, can it still survive?" Baolin asked curiously while squatting beside the bucket.

"No! Look, it's almost dying!"

Fortunately, the weather is cold, so the dead fish will not go bad.

The aroma of fish wafted from the kitchen, making the children drool. They all ran to the kitchen to smell the aroma. Zhang Xiuhua had no place to stand, so she left the kitchen.

I don't know how long it took, Youcai shouted anxiously in the kitchen, "Get out of the way! Don't touch me!"

Zhang Xiuhua leaned over to take a look and saw Youcai holding a large bowl of braised fish and tofu that had just come out of the pot. The bowl was so full that it was about to spill out in the next second. The other children followed closely beside him, their eyes fixed on the fish, showing how greedy they were.

Youcai also pasted dough cakes around the place so that everyone could get one.

Of course, one pancake is not enough to fill you up, you can eat sweet potatoes.

Zhang Xiuhua asked them to be careful when eating fish, "This fish is small and has bones, so don't be impatient when eating it."

The children responded.

When Zhang Xiuhua said it was time to eat, the children rushed to put their chopsticks into the bowl.

Ji Lin remembered what his mother had said before, and immediately put his chopsticks under the fish gills, looking for the most tender and delicious crescent meat.

The other children directly picked up the meat from the fish belly, where there were only big bones and no small bones.

Zhou Pandi was a little slow to pick up a piece of fish, "It's fresh and tender, so delicious."

"You guys are going to the Ussuri River to catch fish, right?"

Zhang Xiuhua really didn't know the name of the river. Wusuli? What a unique name.

Youcai nodded, "Yes! It's that river."

Zhou Pandi smiled and said, "On the left side of this river is China, and on the right side is Lao Mao."

Zhang Xiuhua's eyes widened in surprise. "Our village is so close to Mao?"

Seeing her surprise, Zhou Pandi smiled and said, "Didn't you know this before?"

"Youcai's father told me before that the village was very close to Lao Mao, but I didn't expect it to be so close." Zhang Xiuhua suddenly came up with a plan to make a fortune, which could be implemented in a few years.

Jidong told Zhou Pandi about their fishing method, and then asked her why they could catch fish in this way, "People in our area have never caught fish this way."

Zhou Pandi smiled and said, "It's cold here. When the river freezes in winter, there is little oxygen below. Slapping the water surface can generate oxygen, and the fish want to float to the surface to inhale."

Jidong suddenly realized, "So this is the principle."

The children ate with gusto, and finally finished the fish soup by dipping it in the cakes.

The children, with full bellies and burping, put on rubber shoes and ran to the village to play with their friends.

Youcai ran to find Guoxiang.

Guoxiang had already heard from other kids that he went fishing but didn't take him with him. He was so angry that he kept groaning, "You are so mean. You went fishing without taking me with you!"

"I want to take you with me, but can you get up? You leave at seven in the morning." Youcai already had a solution.

Guoxiang opened his mouth, "So early?"

"Of course you have to go early. If you go later, the spot will be taken by others. I saw many adults bringing fishing nets to catch fish. They all arrived after nine o'clock."

Those people also made their own fishing nets and caught a lot of fish, but none were as big as his.

Guo Xiang reluctantly agreed to his request, "Then you must take me there tomorrow!"

"Okay! I'll take you tomorrow!" Youcai waved his hand and agreed, "As long as you can get up!"

Guoxiang gritted his teeth and said, "I will definitely be able to get up!"

After he finished speaking, he secretly told Youcai something, "Did you know? Our village is haunted!"

Youcai immediately glanced at him with disdain, "Teacher told us that there are no ghosts in this world! Be careful if others hear it, or they will criticize you!"

At this time, when everything was being abolished, Guoxiang dared to spread feudal superstition. He was too bold.

Guoxiang told his grandfather about it before and got slapped. He told his father about it and got slapped. He told his mother about it and got slapped. He told his grandmother about it and she said he had misheard. Now even his good brothers don’t believe him. Guoxiang feels like he is being targeted by the whole world and stamps his feet in anxiety, “Really! I didn’t lie to you. I heard it with my own ears.”

He got up to pee last night and heard ghost screams coming from behind the house in his own bathroom. "It was so sad. Do you think Grandpa Wang thinks his son is unfilial and wants to come back and take him away?"

Youcai shuddered all over, "No way? Isn't Grandpa Wang always kind? He might turn into a ghost and harm his own son."

Guoxiang thought it must be true, "If you don't believe me, let's catch ghosts tonight!"

The indignation also came up, "Catch him if you want! I tell you there are no ghosts in this world! If there are ghosts, they must be people pretending to be ghosts!"

"There is a ghost!"

Two children made a bet, and the loser called the winner "brother".

Youcai thought Guoxiang was silly sometimes. Guoxiang was older than him, so he didn't feel any disadvantage if he called him brother. But he didn't say anything when he took advantage of Guoxiang.

Guoxiang didn't expect Youcai to complain about him in his heart. He made a plan on his own, "Come to my house at nine o'clock in the evening, and we will catch ghosts together."

"Okay! Let's catch the devil together." Youcai raised his head, "Just wait for me to recognize you as my big brother!"
