The fish are all open at night, making it easier to catch than during the day.

Li Xia, who has excellent fishing skills, quickly connected the pole.

Li Xia smiled slightly. At this rate, the large bamboo baskets compiled during the day should be full in less than three hours.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Li Xia kept repeating the action, throwing the pole, collecting the pole, unhooking, and throwing the fish into the bamboo basket.

Until the last dark cloud obscured the moonlight.

Li Xia felt that it was almost done.

He bent down and used both hands to pull up the fish basket submerged in the water.

Wow!

The water in the bamboo basket flows out along the cracks.

Snap! Snap!

The fish in the bamboo basket suddenly started to stir.

Li Xia weighed it, oh, he caught a lot this night, it should be eighty kilograms.

He looked up at the sky. It was after six o'clock when he went out, but now, it's only about nine o'clock.

In this era, especially in rural areas, there are no entertainment activities at night, and every household goes to bed early.

In later generations, nightlife has not even begun at this point.

Li Xia didn't want to waste time sleeping. He still had a lot of things to do.

After walking along the raised dirt road for a few dozen meters, we found the place where the cage was placed during the day.

The light is a little gray.

Li Xia kicked two small wooden stakes with his feet. He squatted down and reached out to untie the nylon rope on the small wooden stakes.

Hold the nylon rope in your hand and slowly pull the ground cage up.

The fishing cycle for ground cages is generally more than twelve hours. For such a wide river, it is best to wait for twenty-four hours before fishing.

In that case, the most shipments will be made.

Wow!

The cage was pulled ashore by Li Xia.

Li Xia used a kerosene lamp to illuminate it and saw that the three partitions of the floor cage were all filled with fish, shrimps and crabs.

The shipment rate is really not small, but the variety is very mixed.

Large and small shrimps, eels, loaches, small black fish, straw soles, king fish...

Li Xia poured them all into the plastic bucket.

Then start picking and choosing.

Shrimp, big or small.

Only the big eels and loaches are eaten, and the small ones are thrown back into the river.

Same for some small fish

"The"straw sole" is the betta fish of later generations, and it cannot be eaten. It is an ornamental fish.

Li Xia poured out the water plants and other debris in the ground cage, and then added the bait again.

Earthworms, open internal organs of frogs, and the remaining ones were used to build nests. of rapeseed oil and rice bran.

Put it back into the ground cage.

Li Xia did the same thing for the second ground cage.

The shipment was almost the same. Most of the nearly twenty-liter plastic barrel had been filled.

Li Xia estimated, at least There are five kilograms of large river shrimps, three kilograms of eels, and three kilograms of loaches.

The other small miscellaneous fish add up to about two kilograms.

If left in later generations, these wild river shrimps, eels, and loaches would fetch high prices, in some places even two to three hundred yuan a piece. Jin.

But in this era, there are a lot of eels and loaches in the rivers and fields.

But unfortunately, everyone doesn’t care about these things.Not very interested yet.

Li Xia shook his head, what a waste of natural resources.

Go home.

Li Xia picked up the heavy bamboo basket, plastic bucket, and fishing rod and headed home. inside the house.

Chu Mengxi lay on the bed and gently patted the backs of the two babies.

The two milk dumplings had eaten and drank enough and fell asleep long ago, sleeping soundly.

Chu Mengxi didn't know why, but she didn't feel sleepy.

It’s too dangerous to go fishing on the river at night!

He hasn't come back yet?

Chu Mengxi seemed to be worried unconsciously.

But when she realized this, she was shocked.

She shook her head violently.

Why worry about that street kid!

Squeak!

The courtyard door was pushed open, and there was the sound of slight footsteps.

Liu Mengxi's heart was shocked. In the dim room, she stood up and looked out of the yard through the window.

Under the hazy moonlight.

A tall figure of a man appeared in the yard, with water dripping from the fish basket on his back.

His movements were very gentle, as if he were afraid of waking up the sleeping person.

After hesitating for a moment, Chu Mengxi got up from the bed, put on some clothes, and tiptoed to the yard.

Li Xia grabbed a lot of pigweed and spread it on the water in the tank to prevent the fish from making too much noise and waking up Chu Mengxi and the two milk dumplings who were already sleeping.

He brought another basin, separated the eels, loaches and shrimps, then covered them with a bamboo sieve and pressed them with a stone.

Tomorrow morning, we will bring them all to the county town to sell them.

After doing all this, Li Xia was about to take a shower.

As soon as he turned around, he saw Chu Xixi walking out wearing clothes.

The moonlight is cold and silky.

Perhaps it was the effect of the moonlight, but Chu Mengxi's delicate face was as smooth as white jade, which was really beautiful.

In his previous life, he had come into contact with all kinds of beauties, and his aesthetic taste must have reached a high level.

Objectively speaking, Chu Mengxi is an exquisite beauty, with carefully crafted facial features and no flaws. She will never get tired of looking at her.

She has a slim figure, but she is slightly skinny because of her thin body.

I believe that with the supplement of nutrients, her figure can reach the point where people can't put it down.

Li Xia's eyes were burning.

This is...my wife! legal.

Li Xia couldn't figure out why he didn't know how to cherish it before.

This is a waste of natural resources

"What are you looking at?"

Chu Mengxi spat lightly and lowered her head, not daring to look at Li Xia's fiery eyes.

She tightened the coat around her body

"Ahem...did I wake you up?"

Li Xia said apologetically, he was already very careful.

"No, I haven't slept yet. The two little guys have already fallen asleep, sleeping more soundly than the little piglets."

The corners of Li Xia's mouth curved slightly.

"Why are you not sleeping yet"

"These, these are the fish you caught?!"

Chu Mengxi did not answer Li Xia, but walked to the water tank under the eaves and saw that it was full of fish.

The fish were very big and very lively.

Chu Mengxi opened her mouth in surprise. The water There were seventy or eighty kilograms of fish in the tank!

This, this was too much!

She felt unbelievable.

Although the river in Shangrong Village was big, there should be many wild fish.

But it is admittedly very difficult to catch.

Many people have tried it, but often come away empty-handed.

Everyone said that the fish in the river had become sperm.

But why is fishing so easy when we get to Li Xia?!

Moreover, you caught so many fish in just one night?!

Chu Mengxi couldn't understand, but the only thing that was certain was that Li Xia was indeed very capable.

A fishing expert?

Li Xia opened the bamboo sieve and showed it to Chu Mengxi:"I made two ground cages during the day. These shrimps, eels, and loaches are all products from the ground cages."

Chu Mengxi's chest rose and fell, looking a little excited.

With so much aquatic products, how much would it cost if we sold them all?!

Chu Mengxi turned her head and looked at Li Xia, who was smiling.

"From now on, I won’t let you three suffer anymore."

……

Late at night, Chu Mengxi's mood was not calm.

Her heart was very confused.

Li Xia was lying in the next room, and they had already slept in separate beds.

Li Xia didn't fall asleep either and was very excited.

On the first day of his rebirth, the first day of his new life, he felt extremely fulfilled.

He secretly vowed in his heart that he would work hard for Chu Mengxi and the two milk dumplings every day in the future.

In the end, both of them fell asleep...
