On a rare weekend, brothers Xu Sihai and Xu Sifeng are both free, and they arrange to go fishing together. They are old and have little fun. Apart from calligraphy and painting, this is one of Xu Sihai's favorite entertainment activities. It is just that he is usually busy with work and rarely finds time.
.
Xu Sifeng was influenced by Xu Sihai, and recently he also fell in love with fishing.
If you want to fish, just fish. Today, I specially called Chen Muyu. He said that he was going to Heibao Mountain to go fishing, so he insisted on calling Chen Muyu all the way. He happened to be short of a driver.
Based on your status, do you think you are in need of a driver?
Both of them are elders, Xu Sifeng is still the father-in-law, how dare Chen Muyu say no.
I originally planned to go to Lantian Station to help. After all, I haven’t been to the station for a long time, and the station is a bit busy on weekends. But as soon as my mother heard that it was her father-in-law calling, she immediately gave Chen Muyu amnesty, and even pushed and pulled her there.
After leaving the house, he asked him to take care of his father-in-law.
Chen Muyu didn't even know where Heibao Mountain was. He picked up the two of them at Xu Gongguan before confirming the place. After some navigation, it was not far away. It was on the other side of Shao'e City, about fifty miles away from Qingshan City.
Fishing rod, horse trap, sunglasses, sun hat, big bucket...
The two old men were both fully armed. This was the first time Chen Muyu saw them dressed like this, and felt that they didn't match.
"I heard from Xiao Meng that you have been very busy recently?" After leaving the city, my father-in-law began to care about Chen Muyu's life.
Chen Muyu smiled and said, "Fortunately, I just have a lot of things to do and run around..."
"Young people should pay more attention to their health, rest when they need to rest, and have entertainment when they need to have fun..." Xu Sihai taught earnestly from the side.
Chen Muyu repeatedly said yes.
Xu Sifeng said, "Fishing is quite entertaining. I fished in the Qinglong River the day before yesterday. In one afternoon, I caught more than thirty kilograms, and there was also a large crucian carp weighing three kilograms!"
"Bragging, you..."
Xu Sihai curled his lips, obviously not believing it.
Xu Sifeng was unhappy, "Didn't you enjoy the steamed food last night?"
"Does that thing weigh three kilograms? One kilogram is superfluous!" Xu Sihai blew his beard, "I caught a big turtle in the pond in Zhangjiawan last week. It weighed eight kilograms."
"Can the ones in your pond compare with those in the river?" Xu Sifeng suddenly rolled his eyes.
Listening to the conversation between the two people in the back seat, Chen Muyu couldn't laugh or cry. They all said that scholars despise each other, and this fisherman also despises each other.
Never tell a fisherman that you are not good at fishing, otherwise you will be beaten.
"Okay, don't brag. Xiaoyu is here today. Let's have a good competition. Whoever wins is the eldest brother!" Xu Sifeng said.
Xu Sihai rolled his eyes, "What a joke, if you win, am I not your brother too..."
These two old men were quite funny. They talked to each other and they didn't feel lonely along the way.
…
Heibao Mountain is a mountain range near Shao'e Mountain. It is about twenty miles away from Ebei Mountain. It is just not as tall and powerful as Ebei Mountain. Compared with Shao'e Mountain, it is even more inconspicuous.
Farmers on the mountain mostly plant tea trees and plum trees. From a distance, the area looks dark and looks like a big bag, so it is called Black Bun Mountain.
The plums from Heibaoshan are the most famous. They have dark skin and thick flesh, and each one is as big as a fist. They are called Heibaoshi by the locals. Although the price is about the same as ordinary plums, the key yield is high, making them another local product besides tea.
Big source of income.
There is a tributary of the Qinglong River that bypasses the foot of Heibao Mountain. It is called Heifeng Canal. A large area around Heifeng Canal is covered with wasteland forests. The ecology is well protected. The water flow in the canal is also slow. There are many kinds of fish and turtles in it.
, many wild fishing people like to come here.
It's just because this place is very deserted and there are a lot of snakes, insects, rats and ants, especially last month it was said that someone was bitten by a snake, so there are a lot fewer people coming here during this time.
They found a relatively open place by the canal, and the two old men discussed it for a while. They both looked like old experts. Where to make a nest, where to set the hook, and they must make a few hundred kilograms of it today...
Ambitious!
Put the bait on the fishhook, throw it into the canal, release the horse, put the parasol on the ground, and wait for the goods to be loaded.
Chen Muyu sat next to him for a while. The two old men were very focused and didn't say a word.
It was fine not to speak, but Chen Muyu was not allowed to speak because he was afraid that the fish would be scared away.
I bet you are actually a driver.
Chen Muyu really didn't have much interest in fishing. When he just came here, he saw a farmhouse with several wild plum trees next to it, so he happened to pick a few to satisfy his craving.
…
These black-stoned plums were really big, as big as an egg. Chen Muyu thought they were ripe, so he picked one and chewed it, almost breaking his teeth.
"hey-hey!"
There was a laugh from the side.
When he looked up, he saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl standing not far away. She obviously saw Chen Muyu's expression, which was so deformed by plum sourness, that she felt a little funny.
The little girl is wearing a school uniform, a ponytail, and a pair of small glasses. She looks quite beautiful. A girl of this age is like a bud waiting to bloom, and her whole body is filled with the atmosphere of youth.
Chen Muyu laughed awkwardly and threw half a plum in his hand into the ground beside him, "Why are these plums so sour!"
The little girl is not afraid of strangers at all, maybe because of Chen Muyu's handsome appearance, "This plum tree is unattended, so of course it is sour and astringent, and it has only been a few months, so the plums are not ripe yet!"
"You're so old, aren't you still mature?"
Chen Muyu walked over and looked up. They were all the size of eggs, but they were not yet cooked.
"How old are they? When they are ripe, they must be as big as a goose egg!" The little girl smiled sweetly, "Besides, you don't want to eat these plums. You have to peel them!"
"Oh, okay, my knowledge has improved!"
Chen Muyu laughed dryly, he actually didn't know as much as a little girl.
"Are you here for a trip?" the little girl asked.
This statement made Chen Muyu wonder, who would travel to a place like this?
"Don't worry, two elders are here to fish, and I will accompany them to have fun!" Chen Muyu shook his head.
"My name is Ye Xiaoqing, what's your name?"
"My name is Chen Muyu!"
"You are so handsome, more handsome than any celebrity I have ever seen!"
"Oh? Really? Thank you, you are beautiful too!"
Chen Muyu smiled awkwardly. It was really a magical experience to be praised by a little girl for being beautiful in front of him.
"Xiaoqing, right? Why are you here alone?"
Chen Muyu looked at Ye Xiaoqing and saw that she was wearing a school uniform. She should be a student of Shao'e No. 2 Middle School.
Shao'e No. 2 Middle School can be regarded as one of the top middle schools in several nearby cities. At least its overall strength is higher than Qingshan No. 1 Middle School.
"My grandma's house is nearby. I also come here to play on weekends. The farmhouse in front is my grandma's house!" Ye Xiaoqing said.
