1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 43 As expected
The water in the kitchen had boiled. After removing and extinguishing the firewood, I specially separated a portion of the boiling water from the pot and stored it in the warehouse to keep it warm. The rest was put out and placed in the kitchen for later use.

He put the fishing gear into the bucket before carrying it out of the space.

Instead of making things difficult for myself, I asked around and found the bus stop, then took a bus to the moat.

When she arrived, she found that there were quite a few people fishing on the shore. She didn't go to the crowded areas, firstly because her simple fishing rod was not presentable, and secondly because she hardly saw any girls fishing alone.

Find a place to sit down, take out the simple fishing rod made from a safety pin and firewood stalks, attach the bait you made yourself, and cast the line nimbly. Now it's time to witness the moment of truth.

Sure enough, within ten minutes, a fish took the bait.

The fish was quite large, and her fishing rod, made from firewood, couldn't withstand the force of pulling it directly.

Afraid of breaking the rod if I pulled too hard, I had to keep pulling the fish back and forth, regretting that I hadn't made a simple net.

After a smooth motion, he used the momentum to lift the fish up.

Wow, not bad! A grass carp weighing at least five pounds was served. I glanced at the bucket I brought and realized I had been careless.

If you catch only this many, your bucket will be full in no time.

However, I came here with a purpose in mind, and I just need to achieve what I want.

The second fish caught was a carp weighing about three pounds. The two fish took the bait only seven or eight minutes apart, which shows that the pool of water was really extraordinary.

When the fish took the bait for the third time, it caught the attention of a fisherman not far away. The old man closest to her put down his fishing rod and jogged over: "Little girl, not bad, you're incredibly lucky."

He wanted to help, but Chu Xue's simple fishing rod wasn't strong enough, so he didn't dare to be too rough: "Grandpa, let me walk it a little longer, otherwise I'm afraid the rod won't be able to withstand it."

The old man then noticed the fishing rod in her hand and joked, "It's not that your fishing rod can't handle it, it's that your fishing line is no good either. Where did you find this scrap material? But you're quite the expert, catching three fish in half an hour. It really opened my eyes."

Seeing that the fish was almost out of the water, he said, "Grandpa, please move aside. I've almost finished playing it. I don't want you to bump into anything."

The old man was one to listen to advice, and he immediately took a considerable amount of time to back away.

As soon as he thought of something, he ran straight to his seat.

He came running back a moment later with a fishing net: "Girl, come on, let me help you."

Chu Xue was worried because the fish was bigger. She had been thinking that if she pulled the fish up, her simple fishing rod would be ruined. She didn't expect the old man to be so perceptive.

It took the two of them a lot of effort to get the eight or nine-pound blackfish up.

Chu Xue had just put the fish into the bucket when she asked, "Little girl, can I ask you something?"

Liu Chuxue glanced at him and said, "Please speak."

The old man rubbed his hands together: "Little girl, can you sell, oh no, exchange, exchange, yes, exchange for a fish, just this one will do, I'm not greedy."

Liu Chuxue was amused by the old man's expression and tone: "Old man, you really know how to talk, not being greedy and only picking the biggest and best blackfish."

The old man was a little embarrassed when she saw through his lie: "I was just afraid someone would try to take it from me later."

No sooner had he finished speaking than he heard someone coming this way: "Old man Xiao, you can't be the only one who benefits."
