When Qin Yunhe returned home, he heard the sound of laughter coming from the house. When he entered the house, he found that it was Yunniang who brought Chen Kang to play.

Chen Kang, like Qin Zheng, was a quiet kid. They got along well and were playing with tangrams together on the bed.

Qin Ci was held on his grandmother's lap, chewing a candied fruit.

Yunniang bowed and said, "Master is back."

Qin Yunhe returned the greeting and said, "You guys continue chatting, I'll go find Chen Er."

Yunniang smiled and said, "Chen Er is also waiting for you to go to the river to catch fish."

Qin Yunhe also laughed when he heard this. He hadn't gone fishing on the river with Chen Er for many years.

When Qin Yunhe arrived at Chen Er's house, Chen Er was tidying up peppers, bacon and other things under the eaves. He smiled when he saw Qin Yunhe coming in.

"You're finally back. I thought I couldn't go today."

Qin Yunhe smiled: "Just go and have fun, it doesn't matter if you're early or late, we'll definitely make it. Do you want to invite Zhuzi along? I remember you used to love to go ice fishing with him."

"How can he have time? He is responsible for all the chores at home during the New Year."

Qin Yunhe thought about it and agreed.

It's embarrassing to say that he never worried about things related to the New Year. It was his mother and Yu Ru who prepared all the offerings and incense.

In the past, he had to buy New Year's goods. Now, he is an official outside and comes home late, so his fourth brother helps him buy all the New Year's goods. Only then does he have time to come and play with Chen Er.

While he was thinking, Chen Er had already prepared the fishing tools.

Chen Er made all his tools by himself, even the fishing line was twisted by himself, which looks very rough.

The poles are made of bamboo and wood, some are long and some are short, but they all look like they were picked up at random...

At the beginning, Qin Yunhe always doubted whether this thing could really catch fish, but the fact is that Chen Er has caught a lot of fish with this simple tool.

Sometimes Chen Er could even catch fish without using a rod or line, which amazed Qin Yunhe.

Chen Er threw the tools he made into a wooden barrel, picked up the barrel and went out with Qin Yunhe.

"Let's go to the hole I dug yesterday and see if there are any fish. If not, try another hole."

"Do you want to bring a hammer or something and drill a hole there?"

"No, I have a stone hidden by the river that is suitable for digging a hole."

The two people walked out of the village, and from a distance they saw a few children running happily out of the village in front of them.

The more Qin Yunhe looked, the more familiar he looked. He called out, "Qin Ruyi! Qin An!"

Several children turned around at the same time, and it was indeed these little guys, and the other one was Qin Chong’s youngest son Qin Fei.

When the kids saw that it was Qin Yunhe, their interest seemed to be dampened and they ran over to greet him somewhat unwillingly.

"Dad, Uncle Chen."

"Uncle, Uncle Chen."

"Where are you guys running to?"

The children looked at each other, hesitating and refusing to say anything.

Finally, Qin Fei glanced at the bucket in Chen Er's hand and said, "Uncle, are you and Uncle Chen going fishing?"

Qin Yunhe smiled and said, "Yes, do you want to go?"

The children's eyes lit up again: "Yes, yes! We wanted to go to the river to have a look."

Very good, it turns out that you wanted to sneak to the river by yourself.

"There are a lot of holes in the ice for fishing. It's not safe for you kids to go to the river by yourselves. You can't go there by yourselves next time, okay?"

The kids didn’t care about the future, as long as they could go today, so they all said “oh”.

Chen Er also smiled and said, "If you want to go, you can come with me. I go there often. It's a bit dangerous for you to go by yourself."

When we arrived at the cave that Chen Er mentioned, we found that it was surrounded by stones, probably to prevent people from stepping in.

The water in the cave had frozen again, but not as thick as the surrounding area.

Chen Er rummaged around by the river and quickly found a slightly sharp stone, which he used to break the hole open again.

Chen Er took out the crude tools he had made and sorted them out, then took out something he didn't know what it was and put it on the hook. He then gave one to Ruyi and Qin Yunhe, and one to Qin Fei and Qin An.

Qin Yunhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and returned the rod to Chen Er: "I don't want it anymore, you guys go fishing."

Since he doesn't know how to fish and he's not a child, there's really no need to give him one to experience.

To be honest, he would rather watch Chen Erdiao.

After a busy period of preparation, several people were finally ready, but someone came running from a distance.

"Sir, sir."

Qin Yunhe turned around and saw that it was Yuger who came running over, followed by his servants.

When Yu Ge'er came closer, Qin Yunhe asked, "Are you from the master's house?"

I forgot that Yu Ge'er would also come to visit him today.

Yu Ge'er nodded: "Yes, Master's wife said that Master and Uncle Chen were here to catch fish, so I came. Ruyi, Qin An, Qin Fei, you are here too."

Yu Ge'er is the same age as Qin An and Qin Fei. Although they played together for a while, they have known each other since childhood.

Chen Er could tell at a glance that Yuger also wanted to play, so he simply handed the pole in his hand to Yuger and let the group of children play around the ice cave.

Qin Yunhe and Chen Er watched the kids making noise while chatting idly.

The child was impatient and always wondered if a fish had taken the bait, so he would pick it up to check. After a while, he got impatient and stood up and moved around, chasing the fish around.

But after a quarter of an hour, the children who had been trying to get nothing finally lost their patience and gave up completely.

Qin Yunhe looked at it funny.

The servant who came with Yu Ge'er quickly took the opportunity to say, "Master, go back to the car and warm up, otherwise you will get frostbite when you go back."

Qin Yunhe thought so too and quickly asked the children to go home and not stay on the ice.

There was a charcoal brazier on the carriage, and Yuger invited a few of his friends to go to his carriage to warm up.

Once the children left, the riverside finally became quiet.

Qin Yunhe and Chen Er picked up the rods. Qin Yunhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It seems that we won't be able to catch any fish today."

Chen Er, however, looked into the ice hole and said, "Not necessarily. The fish must have been scared away just now."

Qin Yunhe also looked into the cave in confusion, but saw nothing.

Chen Er tidied up the fishing lines, prepared some bait, put down all three lines, and handed one of them to him.

Qin Yun took it hesitantly, still feeling it was a bit too casual.

Seeing Qin Yunhe like this, Chen Er smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "Why don't you give me yours too, and wait a while on the side."

Qin Yunhe dodged: "No, what if I catch this?"

As he said this, he followed Chen Er's example and moved a stone to sit down.

Chen Er scratched his head and chuckled, then went to look at his fishing line.

Qin Yunhe thought they would have to wait for a long time, but unexpectedly, after a short while, Chen Er suddenly pulled the line and a fish was pulled up.

Qin Yun hurriedly followed suit and pulled up his line. Unexpectedly, he found it heavy and with a little effort, he also caught a fish!

May you have surplus every year!

Both of them were delighted at the same time.
