Wu Shufen smiled and nodded: "My in-laws are right, we ordinary people only need to stutter."
Zhang Rongqing said: "Yes! I heard that the construction brigade started fish ponds in the twelfth lunar month last year, and only a few large fish ponds produced hundreds of kilograms of fish. Last year, our largest fish pond caught so many fish."
When a few people arrived at the fish pond chatting and laughing, there were already many members on the bank watching the fun.
Lin Lan pointed to the grass shed at the foot of the mountain: "Let's go there and take a look!"
Li Guizhi nodded: "Okay!"
Zhang Rongqing didn't want to be with them, so he walked towards a few men who could talk to him.
The bank of the pond was full of people, so Lin Lan and the others had to walk through the tea seed field and go to stand in the open space next to the thatched shed.
Some water in the fish pond has been released. He Xianghua and a few tall men carried two water trucks to the outlet of the fish pond. Several people climbed on the water trucks and started pumping water.
Some people were chatting lively around the fish pond, and some were yelling at the children who ran to the fish pond to play in the water.
The water became shallower and shallower, and the fish in the fish pond began to jump. Suddenly, a foot-long silver carp jumped hard into the air. Adults and children all exclaimed: "Look! That big fish jumped!"
More and more members came here to watch the fun, and the hut was also crowded with people.
Zhang Yazhen and several women also came to the hut. When they saw Lin Lan and Li Guizhi, their expressions darkened.
She heard from her mother-in-law that Li Guizhi went back to collect things again, and Lao Pumpkin alone collected a lot.
She cursed in her heart: "Mrs. Linggouzi, ever since she fell in love with that vixen Lin Lan, she has been indifferent to her!"
Li Guizhi pretended not to see her jealous look and talked to Lin Lan with a smile.
He Xianghua and several men wore fishing trousers and went down to the fish pond with a fishing net. Liu Guozhi and Accountant Jin also stood by the fish pond holding baskets.
Several young men also took off their shoes, carried wooden buckets and rolled up their trousers and entered the fish pond, making a splashing sound in the mud-filled pond.
There were many kinds of fish in the fish pond, and the young men's hands and feet were very nimble. In a short while, the wooden buckets they carried were filled with fish, and they were brought to the fish pond, handed to the members guarding the baskets, and poured into the baskets.
, the fish struggled in the basket, splashing mud all over the people surrounding the basket.
He Xianghua saw a big black fish and was about to catch it. Unexpectedly, the big black fish burrowed its head into the mud and flicked its tail, splashing mud spots all over his face.
"Uncle Xiang Hua, I'm coming!" the young man shouted, holding the big black fish in his arms and quickly throwing it into the bucket.
He Xianghua smiled and patted his shoulder: "Junzi's skills are good!"
"Uncle, you are so bad!" The young man named Junzi puffed his cheeks and pointed at the hand and paw prints on his shoulders and shouted.
The old lady smiled and said: "You are still young and nimble."
Wu Shufen smiled and nodded: "Yes! The fish pond is the happiest time for these guys every year!"
Li Guizhi said with a smile: "The fish ponds become more lively from the twelfth lunar month, and the children are on vacation. Those half-year-old furry children are no different from loaches when they go into the fish ponds!"
Lin Lan also laughed: "Before going to school, Douzi was still saying that he would go to the fish pond to fish in the twelfth lunar month!"
At this time, Yang Liying also squeezed in front of several people and shouted: "You are here! I searched around and found you!"
"We have only been here for a while, and we haven't caught many yet!" Lin Lan said and moved to the side to let Yang Liying stand.
Several girls crowded to the fish pond to join in the fun, pointing at the fish jumping in the pond and shouting: "There is a big fish over there! There is a big fish over there!"
Seeing the big fish jumping in the mud, several young men jumped into the fish pond with itchiness.
Stunned Liu Jiang touched a big eel and pretended to be panicked, shouting: "Snake, snake..." He shouted and threw the eel to the bank of the pond where several girls were standing, scaring the girls to their faces.
He lost his composure, but he laughed proudly.
"Three Monkeys, you are looking for death!" After seeing clearly, a girl shouted his nickname, picked up the mud from the rapeseed field and threw it over, splashing mud all over him.
Liu Jiang wiped the mud on his face and looked at her proudly: "Ha...haha, little pepper, you can't hit me!"
"Hit him!" Several aunts also laughed and helped.
"Wait for me!" Xiao Laiao and a few girls turned around, picked up the mud and threw it again. "Puff, puff" the mud hit the fish pond, and mud splashed everywhere.
Liu Jiang dodged left and right, and with an inadvertent "bang" sound, he sat down in the mud and instantly turned into a mud monkey.
"Hahaha! Hahaha!" People around the fish pond, old and young, laughed.
Liu Jiang was not angry, so he simply broke the jar and started doing it in the fish pond. After a while, he hugged a big grass carp weighing more than ten kilograms and shouted: "I caught a big fish."
The young man over there also hugged one and showed off: "What does yours mean? Look at mine!"
Lin Lan saw that there were still Tuan fish in the fish pond, and some of them climbed to the bank of the pond.
One of them was holding a bag with a long bamboo pole tied to it. The middle-aged woman squeezed to the bank of the pond and fished out the turtle.
Li Guizhi said with a smile: "Sun Tuozi's wife comes here every year to catch the fish. There is little meat and lots of bones. I don't know what to eat!"
Yang Liying: "I heard them say that larger turtles can be sold for one or two yuan on the black market!"
Lin Lan remembered that she wanted to invite Lao Li over for dinner in the evening. Tuanyu has the effect of lowering blood pressure and blood lipids. She turned to look at Li Guizhi: "She wants to catch it and sell it?"
Li Guizhi nodded: "Do you want to buy it?"
Lin Lan smiled and said: "If she wants to sell it, I can buy two from her later. The fish dumplings made by my mother taste quite good."
"You still need to buy them! Your brother-in-law is here, let him go down and fish out two." Yang Liying said, turning to look at Zhao Dehai, "Go to the fish pond over there and fish, don't fight with Sun Tuozi's wife."
"Okay!" Zhao Dehai smiled and squeezed out of the crowd and walked towards the fish pond on the left.
The old lady and Wu Shufen looked at it for a while and felt that there was nothing to see. They smiled and said to Lin Lan and others: "Are you guys leaving? We want to go back first."
"Okay!" Several people nodded and squeezed out of the crowd.
When they reached the alley where the old lady's house was, the old lady pulled Lin Lan and said, "Uncle, I can't help you anymore. I said a few words when I went to see you that day. Who knew your aunt could talk so quickly!"
Lin Lan looked at her and smiled and said: "You're serious, I bought a small western-style house! Others have mouths, so they can just say what they want!" She thought the old lady was pulling her to say something to her.
Oh! I didn’t expect it to be an apology!
After hearing this, the old lady smiled and patted her hand: "Yes! Make them jealous!"
Lin Lan nodded and said with a smile: "Come to my house tonight to eat fatty fish and bean curd fish!"
