The first lord of the poor family

Chapter 2 Catch fish cleverly
Qiaoer still didn't believe it. There was no way to fish without going into the water.

Even if you are using a fishing net at the water's edge, you have to stand as far into the river as possible.

Otherwise, you won’t be able to catch fish at all.

And fishing is not that easy. There are also fishermen in the village.

Every day I take a boat to the river to catch fish, but I still finish my first meal without finishing my last meal, and it is normal to return empty-handed.

"My husband, you should just study hard and leave the money-making matters to me." Qiaoer advised.

Lin Hai could tell what Qiaoer was thinking at a glance.

“I only use these cocoons of yours, and you can come with me when fishing.

I said you don’t have to go into the water to catch fish, it’s definitely possible.

It is said that a scholar is useless. This time I will show you the usefulness of reading. "

Lin Hai said with a smile.

Qiao'er looked at Lin Hai as if he wasn't joking, and asked herself to follow him.

This is a little relieved.

Lin Hai's temper has always been particularly stubborn, and he never changes his decisions.

It’s already rare to be able to discuss things with yourself.

"Okay, then I believe my husband! But my husband has to promise me that if I can't catch fish, I won't do this kind of thing again."

"No problem, I'll do as you say. But you have to help me. It's too slow for me to work alone."

Qiaoer first fed the mulberry leaves to the silkworms.

Then come over and help draw the silk.

Qiaoer is already used to this kind of work. It is very smooth and the silk can be drawn quickly and well.

Lin Hai could only watch from the side.

One silk thread is too thin, and several threads must be woven together to be strong enough.

Lin Hai tied two wooden sticks together and tied a rocking handle in the middle.

Use this tool to wrap the silk together and make it stronger.

The two men worked until midnight and finally spun the silk.

"Let's stay up late today and make the web, and I'll teach you how to do it."

Lin Hai determined the grid size according to the size of the white strips.

The two of them stayed up until late at night, and finally weaved a sticky web more than three meters long and two feet wide.

Some sycamore tree sticks are added to the top, which can be floated with a net, and a few small stones are dropped below.

Qiaoer looked at this website with confusion on his face.

“How can we catch fish with such a net?”

"Hey, go to bed quickly and wait for the fish tomorrow!"

Lie in bed together.

Qiaoer was tired after a long day and was frightened because Lin Hai fell into the water.

Already exhausted.

As soon as I lay down, I fell asleep.

Lin Hai turned his head and looked over, showing his exquisite figure.
Such a beautiful daughter-in-law, she used to dislike her because she was from such a poor background, and she didn't consummate the marriage after such a long time.

Lin Hai felt his stomach growling with hunger.

I just drank a bowl of wild vegetable soup that was clear and watery during the day, and I wasn't very hungry at all.

Can't help but smile wryly.

"If you don't even have enough to eat, how can you have the energy to think about these things?"

"But it gave me a big advantage!"

Lin Haiqiang felt sleepy and tried to fall asleep while holding back his hunger.

When I woke up, it was almost noon.

Qiaoer got up early to pick mulberry leaves. No matter what, she couldn't let the silkworms get hungry.

Lin Hai got up and washed his face.

Qiao'er has already made rice, and still boils wild vegetables in plain water, with only a few vegetable leaves floating in the bowl.

Even so, it is the best thing in the house.

"Drink the soup quickly. Once you fill your stomach, you will have the strength to fish." Qiaoer brought the bowl over.

"Let's drink together, and we're not allowed to eat grass roots again!" Lin Hai said.

"This is the only bowl, and the boss should eat it."

"No, if you don't eat it, I won't eat it either." Lin Hai's attitude was very firm.

How could such a beautiful and hard-working daughter-in-law be allowed to go hungry and eat alone?

"By the way, let's take a bite each!" Qiao'er's cheeks suddenly turned red after hearing this.

Although they have been married for almost two years, they rarely have any intimate actions.

I didn't expect to suddenly bring up such an embarrassing thing.

I felt a little at a loss for a moment. It was neither a refusal nor an agreement.

But I don't know why, but I feel very happy.

Lin Hai pulled her to sit down, took a sip first, then held the bowl to her mouth.

"Hurry up and drink. After dinner, we will go catch fish."

Qiao'er couldn't hide away, so she had to take a small sip.

"Too little, you have to take a big sip." Lin Hai said seriously.

Qiaoer had no choice but to take another sip.

The two of us finished the soup very quickly, one bite at a time and one bite at a time.

Take the net you made and head to the river together.

Lin Hai also specially found a long bamboo pole to use when lowering the net.

I met some women from the village on the road.

Secretly discussing behind the scenes.

"Lin Hai is a scholar, but he can't do anything. He relies on his wife to support his family. If this continues, I'm afraid he won't even be able to get rid of the blame."

"They say reading is good, but what's the use? I'm just a nerd."

"That's right. Such a good daughter-in-law like Qiaoer has to suffer."

"Bai Wuyi is just a scholar. If you can't achieve high or low, that's all..."

The sound of conversation between the two people could be vaguely heard.

Qiao'er was afraid that Lin Hai wouldn't be able to accept it, so she quickly persuaded him: "Master, don't listen to them! As long as you can pass the examination as a scholar, you will definitely be able to get ahead."

Lin Hai sighed and said: "They are right, even if you want to study, you have to find a way to fill your stomach first.

But it will get better in the future. I will find a way to make some money and eat first. "

"If my husband goes to make money, wouldn't he be delaying his studies?"

"We'll talk about this later!"

Lin Hai didn't have much interest in studying, and it wasn't easy to become a scholar.

After arriving at the river, you can see groups of white-striped fish swimming on the water under the sun.

Lin Hai took Qiaoer to dig up some earthworms and hung them on the Internet.

Then find where the white striped fish are active and put the net in the water.

Lead it out with a rope and place it on the shore.

Use the bamboo pole to drive the fish in that direction.

Not long after, you could clearly see several fish stuck to the fishing net.

The fish's body was stuck in the grid and could no longer struggle away.

After a while, it felt almost done.

Pull the rope and pull the fishing net over.

The net is actually full of fish.

When Qiaoer saw that he had caught so many fish, he jumped up happily.

"There are so many fish, enough for us to eat for two or three days."

Seeing Qiaoer's surprised look, Lin Hai also felt very accomplished.

"Hurry up and get our basket!"

Lin Hai said while holding the fishing net.

Pick off the fish on top and put it in the basket.

I actually caught more than 20 fish at one time, weighing more than a pound.

"You go home first, clean up these fish, and make fish soup to eat. I will lower the fish net and put it up. I guess it will be no problem to catch five or six kilograms of fish today."

I only drank half a bowl of vegetable soup today, and my stomach was already growling with hunger.

If you want to work, you have to eat first.

"Okay, sir, be careful. I'll go back and make fish soup."

"Go quickly! By the way, be careful not to let others see the fish we caught. Let alone let others know how to catch fish.

If others find out, they will all rush to catch the fish, and we won’t be able to catch it.”

"I know!"

Qiaoer is not stupid. If everyone comes to catch fish and catches all the fish, his family will starve again.
