The mother and son walked slowly home. At about 5:30 pm, they arrived home.
Cook, eat, and then go to bed. The next day, Monday, go to school, go to work, and start a new busy life again.
…
If there are words, it will be long; if there are no words, it will be short.
A few months passed like this, and time flew by to the beginning of August in the Gregorian calendar. After finishing the exam, Zheng Zhendong began his summer vacation life again.
After the holidays, Zheng Zhendong went to his fourth grandfather's house to learn medical skills from once a month to now once a week.
After half a year of study, Zheng Zhendong has made some progress and at least has an understanding of the basic knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine.
The fourth grandfather looked at Zheng Zhendong's progress with great relief. From time to time he sighed and said that Zheng Zhendong is really a good candidate to study medicine.
On this day, Zheng's family had breakfast and Zheng's mother went to work.
Because the weather was too hot, Zheng Zhendong was restless while reading, and his sister Zheng Xinyi kept shouting at the side.
Zheng Zhendong found two fishing rods from home that he had prepared some time ago, and then made some fish food and bait.
I found the fishing hook, fishing line, and fishing ticket, took my sister Zheng Xinyi with a bucket and a horse tie, and went to Houhai to prepare for fishing.
The two walked for a while and arrived at Houhai. At this time, there were many people fishing in Houhai.
Zheng Zhendong took his sister to find a place with shade. After putting down the things, he took out some millet from the bag and sprinkled it on the water.
I went out for a circle and looked at the harvests of the fishing friends around me. After walking for three to four hundred meters, I turned back again.
Back under the shade of the tree, Zheng Zhendong first packed away the two fishing rods, then took out the bait that had been prepared in advance and made preparations.
…
After more than ten minutes, looking at the place where the millet had just been scattered, water bubbles kept pouring out.
Zheng Zhendong thought to himself that fish were coming, so he hurriedly hung up two fishing rods respectively, mixed the secret bait at home, and threw it into the water.
After a while, the float started to fall with the secret bait, and Zheng Zhendong hurriedly raised the pole.
Oh, it was quite heavy. It looked like a big fish. Zheng Zhendong was afraid that the fishing rod would break, so he could only slide the fish carefully.
After slipping away for about ten minutes, the force coming from the fishing rod became smaller, and Zheng Zhendong slowly closed the rod.
I carefully pulled the fish to the shore. It was a big grass carp. I unhooked the fish, then picked up the fish and shook it. It weighed about five kilograms.
My sister Zheng Xinyi, who was sitting nearby, clapped excitedly when she saw her brother catching a fish.
Zheng Zhendong poured some water into the bucket, then put the fish into the bucket and let the little sister watch.
Then hang the bait on the hook and throw it into the water again.
As soon as this fishing rod was finished, another fishing rod on the side also caught fish. Zheng Zhendong hurriedly closed the rod.
This time the force was not very strong, so I easily pulled the fish up. It turned out to be a large crucian carp, weighing about a pound.
Untie the fish and throw it into the bucket, then hang the bait and throw it into the water again.
When her sister Zheng Xinyi saw that her brother had caught another fish, she looked at Zheng Zhendong longingly, meaning that she also wanted to fish.
Looking at his sister's longing eyes, Zheng Zhendong couldn't refuse for a moment.
I had to tell her to pay attention to safety. If the fish is too strong, don't pull it hard. Let it go when it's time to let it go. Don't show off.
Then I gave a fishing rod to my sister, and the result was good. Within ten minutes of taking the fishing rod, I still didn’t see any fish, and I became impatient.
He threw the fishing rod to Zheng Zhendong, and then ran to the shade of the tree to look at the fish in the bucket.
Seeing his sister drop her fishing rod and run away, Zheng Zhendong shook his head in confusion and continued to catch fish.
…
When his sister Zheng Xinyi shouted that she was hungry, Zheng Zhendong raised his head and looked at the sun. It was slightly to the west, about 1 o'clock.
I looked at the fish in the bucket. There were about 20 fish, some big and some small.
Seeing that there were a lot of fish, he packed up his things and took his sister back home.
Looking at the fish in the bucket, Zheng Zhendong thought about going back and sharing a share with his neighbors in the yard.
The old man is right, we must make more friends and fewer enemies, only then can we achieve final victory.
Later generations also know that Jianghu is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships. This small courtyard is just like Jianghu.
In those novels of later generations, people who come to this world all day long, quarrel with the sky and the ground, and kill the whole family if they disagree with each other, are quite enjoyable to watch, but I don't think I can survive more than three episodes if I actually do it.
By distributing things to the people in the courtyard twice, at least no one took sides when Zheng Zhendong fought like when he first came here. This is a great victory.
…
The brother and sister walked for about half an hour before returning home. They slumped down on the chairs, breathing heavily from their noses.
Zheng Zhendong rested for about ten minutes, got up and took another bucket, picked out the fish and divided it into half of the bucket.
Then I added some water to both buckets to avoid suffocating the fish, but I felt relieved when I saw that the fish were still alive and kicking.
I washed my hands in the basin, then took out the white flour to make noodles, and made marinated tomatoes and eggs.
He took out the stew and asked his sister to carry it to the living room. Zheng Zhendong did not clean the pot, but directly poured hot water. After a while, the water boiled and then the noodles were added.
After boiling for a while, I took the pot down, sat on the kettle, and carried the pot into the living room.
The brother and sister started to eat. The two brothers, who were chattering, had to eat two bowls of noodles each before they stopped.
After the two of them finished eating, Zheng Zhendong washed the pots and pans and put them away again.
I took a short rest at home and watched the neighbors in the yard wake up from their naps, so I went to the front yard carrying a bucket of fish.
I knocked on the door of Aunt Ma's house first, then handed a 2-pound fish to Aunt Ma, and then knocked on the door of Uncle Chen's house amidst Aunt Ma's thanks.
After giving Uncle Chen a fish weighing more than 2 kilograms, Zheng Zhendong turned to leave, but was stopped by Uncle Chen, who said he would come to see him after delivering the fish and tell him something.
After seeing Zheng Zhendong agree, Uncle Chen went home and went to Liu Haimin's house and knocked on the door.
After Liu's sister-in-law opened the door, Zheng Zhendong handed her a fish of less than 3 kilograms. After Liu's sister-in-law thanked her happily, she left.
Knowing that Zhao Dali and Zhao Ersha were definitely not at home at this time, they went directly to the third uncle Yan Bugui's house.
The third uncle took the fish from Zheng Zhendong's hand and said with envy.
"Dongzi, how did you catch the fish? How did you catch so many fish at once? I will teach you when I have time."
Zheng Zhendong nodded and agreed with a smile.
Seeing that Zheng Zhendong agreed, the third uncle boasted to Zheng Zhendong a few more words, and saw a few crucian carp in the bucket, so he asked Zheng Zhendong for them.
Zheng Zhendong hurriedly refused and said: "This is prepared for the sister-in-law of the Wang family in the Intermediate Court. When the aunt gives birth to a baby in a while, I will prepare it for her too."
When Yan Bugui heard what Zheng Zhendong said, he smiled awkwardly and went home with the fish.
