Li Jinhua pointed to the tractor not far away, "The team will pull it over for us, just make a few trips, there is no place to keep warm over there."
If we all walk there, it will be better in Spring and Autumn. In this winter, people will be frozen into popsicles.
When the three of them arrived, the tractor was almost full.
Li Jinhua hurried up and said, "Zhuzhu's family, give me a hand. Hey, make room for my girl and her two. Hurry up and squeeze in to keep warm!"
She went up and ordered others to make room. In the end, Shen Man and Gu Nan reluctantly squeezed in. Fortunately, no one was fat at this time, otherwise how could they squeeze in?
All the educated youths who had just sat down in the collective household here came, and other people in the brigade arranged for them to sit down.
Looking at Shen Man in the car, the educated youths all had different expressions.
Qiao Xin curled her lips and said, "It's freezing if you go early. Let's go in first and wait for the next trip."
With that said, she went to the brigade headquarters first. There was a stove in the room to make it warmer.
The tractor started here and began to move forward "suddenly".
Because there were so many people, Shen Man and the others sat in the back, so they didn't feel the wind at all.
"Sister-in-law, why did this educated youth come with you?" A curious woman poked Li Jinhua.
Because few people in the brigade are close to the educated youth, it means that no one cares about them.
The main reason is that all educated youths have high eyesight and don't like to talk to others. Even in this warm Northeast, no one is willing to stick to them. What are you doing?
As if no one can ask for them!
Hearing this, Li Jinhua smiled and replied: "This little girl plays well with my Nannan, we are just children playing together."
There is nothing wrong with this. What does a little girl know? Besides, they are all children, so it is not fun to play with anyone.
No one else asked anymore, it was so cold that my teeth froze when I opened my mouth.
Soon we arrived at the place, and everyone got off the car one after another. Shen Man looked at the broad river surface, and the endless white ice had long been covered up.
At this time, there were already many people there about five or six hundred meters away from the shore, as well as some tractors and machines.
Zhang Fenghai was also among these people. It was difficult for him to dress like a penguin, but Shen Man could still tell it was him.
"We're all here, just wait a moment, the net hasn't been confiscated yet." The captain rubbed his face, which was already frozen.
The fishing nets were lowered the day before yesterday, and we had to wait two days to collect them. The holes in the ice were covered with snow to prevent them from being too frozen and unable to be broken open.
Even if it is broken open, the fishing net will be easily damaged. Not to mention closing the net, there will be no hair left.
Shen Man watched from a distance. At this time, there was a tractor coming, not from the upper river brigade, but from the lower river brigade.
Fishing is considered a big event at this time, and there are many people coming from the nearby brigade.
Of course, this commune only fishes in one place because there are not that many people and there is not that much equipment.
There are also many people fishing secretly on the river. If they are found, they will inevitably be punished. More importantly, every year there are people who fall into the ice holes and cannot be found.
Therefore, the commune control is very strict now, and no one else is allowed to fish on the river casually.
"The net is drawn!"
I don't know who shouted, and the dark crowd moved in that direction, and Shen Man followed.
The fishing net is being pulled here by a tractor. Someone is directing from behind, and the tractor is pulling the net in front.
The moment the fishing net was pulled up, a lot of fish started jumping around.
This was the first time Shen Man saw such a scene. He had heard that winter fishing on the Songhua River in Northeast China was spectacular, but now he saw that the fishing in this small place was also very impressive.
The surrounding villagers were also cheering, with happy faces full of smiles.
Can you be unhappy? This is meat!
As the tractor pulled farther and farther, the fish in the fishing net began to jump out.
Shen Man made a visual inspection and found that the fishing net was about two to three hundred meters long, and it was full of big fish. The smallest one was five or six kilograms, and the largest one was probably more than twenty kilograms.
Oh my God, the fish is already so big at this time?
Yes, there was drought on the ground a few years ago but not in the water. In addition, the current fishing methods are average. Except for fishing in winter, no one comes to fish all year round.
So the fish here are allowed to grow up without anyone taking care of them, so of course they will grow big enough.
"Oh my god, this fish is so good!" Li Jinhua's eyes lit up when she saw the big river fish at her feet, and she wished she could catch it now and take it home.
But no one moved. If they moved at this time, it would be chaos.
After the fishing nets were pulled out, people began to load fish into large wooden barrels, and there was a queue in front of them.
"Quick, quick, get in line." Li Jinhua greeted, pulling Shen Man to get in line.
After she got in line, she remembered and turned around and asked, "Xiao Man, do you want to buy fish too?"
At the beginning, I didn’t even ask people if they wanted to buy it, so I just queued up.
"Buy it!" Shen Man nodded and said, "This big fish is so good, I must buy it!"
But it was not good. The river fish of later generations were not interesting. It was rare to see the actual fishing scene. She had to buy it back and taste it.
Some people in front were loading fish into barrels and loading them into the car, while others continued to line up to buy fish that were not loaded into the car.
Seeing this, Shen Man turned around and asked, "Nan Nan, what are they doing loading the fish into the car?"
If they are in the team, why do they bother to come here?
Hearing this, Gu Nan replied: "Isn't this the commune's winter catch? It has to be taken back to the town to sell. In two days, it will be taken back to the provincial capital, and there will be supplies there."
These fish are not only supplied to nearby brigades, but most importantly, they are sent to provincial capitals.
They belonged to the first batch, and the second and third batches were sent to other places.
This was the first time Shen Man knew this. She didn't know much about this era.
They came early and were quickly queued up.
Li Jinhua raised her voice and pointed at the school of fish and said, "I want that one, not this one!"
"Yes, yes, that's it."
"Emma, where's the fifteen pounds? Okay, okay, that's it."
Look at Li Jinhua holding a thread with a fish on it, with a happy expression on her face.
Seeing this, Shen Man quickly made up for it. Looking at the fish that could no longer jump on the ground, she pointed at one that weighed about ten kilograms, and another that jumped about fifteen kilograms.
"I want these two!" She didn't know what kind of fish they were, but they could be eaten anyway.
"Twenty-six pounds in total, thirteen yuan!" The person opposite weighed it, then quickly put on the hemp rope and handed it over.
Shen Man counted out the money and gave it to him, took the fish and walked aside.
There are people queuing up behind me.
There are three teams of people lined up here. If there was only one team, it would have been chaos.
Gu Nan was picking out small fish with Li Jinhua. When he saw that she had bought a big fish for two days, he was so surprised that he could not speak.
Shen Man, on the other hand, wanted to eat slowly. After all, there were three months in winter. She couldn't just smell meat when everyone was eating it, right?
It's only 50 cents a pound, and there's no ticket required. She thinks it's a great deal.
"Why did you buy this old one? Have you finished eating?" Gu Nan looked at the two big fish and was confused.
Only seven members of their family can buy one fish...
