Hard times have room

Chapter 712 "Fishing"

The result of Wang Jiandang and Su Hongying's two hours of labor is more than 20 small fish, the largest is a three-finger-wide crucian carp, and the smallest one is only as big as Pauline's pinky finger. They may have been knocked unconscious by them before weaning gone.

"Pauline. Pauline I.. we're back."

"Huhu." Su Hongying said with a trembling mouth as she approached the kitchen.

She was addicted to watching it before, so she started to operate it herself. It was fun, but it was too cold.

Although she only harvested small fish the size of three fingers, she was still full of sense of achievement.

That's why she came home looking terribly frozen. A person who was standing and watching most of the time, moved a few times, and just stopped sweating a little bit. Let's say she didn't move, she did move, but she did move, but she didn't move much.

In comparison, Wang Jiandang is much better. He has been exercising and his body is warm. Now, his head is still steaming out when he walks!

He doesn't feel cold at all now, instead, he has a kind of activity, and he feels warm all over, but he is too hungry, and now he feels that he can eat a pig.

"You guys are so energetic, you wouldn't come back no matter how I told you before." Pauline's words were full of resentment, both of them were no longer children, so why didn't you listen to me!
On the snowy day outside, one or two small fish are really not very useful. It's blowing and snowing outside, so don't freeze yourself.

But that being said, she was still very quick in her movements, and greeted the person directly, and the snow particles on her clothes were also photographed off. At the same time, she took over the bucket that Wang Jiandang was carrying.

"This is the result of your hard work for so long?"

To be honest, I’m a little surprised. These two small fish don’t look conspicuous, but there are many together. These twenty or so small fish together can make a big pot of fish soup, which is rare at home. Meat and fishy.

"How is it? Not bad!"

"The fish with the yellow stripes on its back was knocked out by me, and the two loaches are the fruits of my labor." Su Hongying pulled Paulin over, pointed at the fish in the bucket, and followed Bao with pride Lynn said.

She didn't think it was fun, so she let go of the hand that was holding Pauline, put her hand into the bucket, and fished out the frozen, straight fish, three in total, which made her proud.

"It's alright, alright," Pauline said perfunctorily, smelling the long-lost fishy smell.

Then, he turned his head to look at Wang Jiandang, who was already sitting by the fire pond, and said, "Dad, I have boiled a large pot of hot water. Go take a shower and change your wet clothes!"

"Hey, I'll go right away." Wang Jiandang reluctantly glanced at the flames that were burning in the fire pond, but the clothes on his body really couldn't be worn anymore, they were all wet.

What he was wet was the outermost coat and the inner padded coat. The padded coat was fine, slightly damp, but not completely wet, so he only needed to bake it by the fire, and he could still wear it outside the next day.

That night, the family of three ate a delicious meal of fish. Although no oil was added, sauerkraut and ginger slices were added, and there was not much fishy smell. Anyway, Paulin felt that the soup was delicious and the taste was very good.

Su Hongying and Wang Jiandang are similar, which can be seen from their behavior of licking the bowl.

At noon the next day, not long after getting up, Su Hongying and Wang Jiandang, who had finished eating, swept away the snow on the roof and went out without stopping, targeting the Daqing River in front of their house, where they caught the fish yesterday. .

The fish they ate last night completely hooked them out. As soon as the matter was over, they couldn't wait to go out with yesterday's tools.

Paulin was cleaning the dishes at home, but she didn't go with her.

After finishing the dishes, Paulin took the green bamboo leaves and bamboo to the bamboo rat's nest at the back of the house. Now that the weather is cold, the bamboo rat doesn't like to move anymore.

I don't know if it's because she doesn't like to move, but Paulin feels that there are a few bamboo rats that are bigger than other bamboo rats, especially the position of the stomach. I don't know if she is pregnant with a little bamboo rat, or just gaining fat. .

Sweeping the snow off the top of the bamboo rat's nest, taking off the lid, and looking at the chubby little things inside, Pauline sighed quietly, these guys seem to be much more comfortable now than she is, eating and drinking. Not to mention, there are people who help with cleaning from time to time.

Underneath their bodies are specially collected hay, which is changed every two weeks. There is also a large pile of hay in the corner of the kitchen, all prepared for them.

The food was the bamboo that Pauline specially went to chop in the small bamboo forest.

They have a circle of flesh on their bodies, and their fur is very warm to the touch, plus they are all crowded together, it will not be cold when cold.

To be honest, sometimes I am quite envious, but when I think about the fate of these little things, I have no idea. There is no free lunch in the world!
By the time Paulin packed up everything at home and went to the Daqing River at the same location yesterday, Su Hongying and Wang Jiandang were already happily fishing there.

It's a real fight, but it's just water, the kind you hit with a stick.

Pauline also tried a few times. I don't know if it was because of her lack of strength or the wrong method. All in all, the results of her labor were zero, and she didn't catch a single fish.

So, obviously because she was "infuriated", but because the weather was too cold, Paulin, who felt her hands and feet were freezing, went home and cuddled again.

When Su Hongying and Wang Jiandang returned, there were already twenty or thirty fish in the bucket, which was better than yesterday's harvest, because half of the fish were two fingers wide, which were smaller than those of yesterday. Lots of fish.

This time, I didn't make all the fish, but left half of it. I don't know what the situation will be tomorrow!

On the third day, Su Hongying and Wang Jiandang repeated the operations of the previous two days. As long as there are fish, no matter how cold or tired they are, they can bear it. As long as they can harvest, they don't want to be idle.

The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve. According to the rules, their family is going to eat at the old house. At the end of the year, there are very few times when the whole family gets together. , New Year's Eve is one of them.

Su Hongying had already discussed with Wang Jiandang, and she would bring some small fish over that day.

After all, they were going to eat together. If their family went to the old house empty-handed, Su Hongying was sure that the old lady of the old house would definitely boil a pot of bitter dried wild vegetable soup for them to eat.

Su Hongying didn't plan to eat these that night. Besides, if she went vacuum-handed, she would definitely be paid attention to, so she simply brought some fish. At this time, it was enough.
