59 years after its opening, people are still in Nanluoguxiang.

The brother and sister joined forces to pull up the fishing rod, and the unfortunate grass carp was pulled onto the shore to dry.

"Big pot, I'll do it myself!"

Chen Li tried to take the fishhook off by herself, and after doing so, the little girl was a little confused.

Holding the fishhook, he compared it with the grass carp.

"Big Pot, how can such a small hook catch such a big fish?"

Of course it’s because I, your brother, am cheating!

"This fish is afraid of pain!" Chen Feng said nonsense seriously and pulled up his fishing rod.

"Oh, so fish are also afraid of pain." Chen Li looked at the fishhook and thought it made sense. She was also afraid of pain. If she was spanked by her own mother, she would definitely surrender.

Fatty Wang was still staring at his fishing rod.

Hu Bayi is eating loquat.

Chen Hao ran over to help.

Chen Li put the fishing rod aside and watched Chen Hao help put the big grass carp into the bucket.

A 15-jin grass carp is already longer than a bucket.

Chen Hao put the fish head down directly in.

"Brother, will the big fish suffocate to death?" Chen Li looked at the grass carp and was worried that her first fish would "die young."

"Fish will not die in water, they will die without water," Chen Hao taught.

"Why?" Chen Li asked curiously.

The age of four or five is when children's intelligence is opened and they become curious about everything in the world. They are no longer as confused as before, and it is normal to have three hundred questions a day.

"Fish living in water, of course, can't suffocate, just like us living on land."

"Why don't fish live on shore?"

Chen Li continued to ask.

Chen Hao was scratching his head. He had no idea why the fish didn't come ashore.

“Maybe it’s more fun in the water.”

Chen Li nodded and said, "Yeah, it must be more fun in the water."

The little thing looked at the river with inexplicable envy.

"I wish I were a fish so I could play in the water every day."

"Okay, let your second brother teach you how to swim." Chen Feng said with a smile.

The little girl is very strong and has great stamina.

I'm not worried that something might happen if she learns to swim, I'm only worried that something might happen if she doesn't know how to swim.

"Brother, let's go to the swimming pool?" Chen Hao was excited.

Chen Li also looked at Chen Feng happily.

There is a professional swimming pool in Sijiu City. Chen Feng and Chen Hao were taken there by Chen Jianguo to learn various swimming and emergency methods.

Chen Jianguo's training was very professional, and he even taught us how to float on our backs and provide first aid when our legs cramp.

According to him, this was summarized by Changshengshan.

"Ah."

After Chen Jianguo moved out, the burden of educating Chen Hao and Chen Li fell mainly on Chen Feng.

"Great!"

"Big Pot, you are so nice!"

Fatty Wang and Hu Bayi also laughed.

It’s easy to guess that the eldest brother took them swimming and they both had a part in it.

"Haozi, I can't swim. You have to teach me more."

"Brother, what kind of fish is this?"

What Chen Feng caught was a mandarin fish. This kind of fish was originally found in the waters of East China and South China. Because of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, wild mandarin fish occasionally appear in northern rivers.

In other words, this is a big non-spatial fish.

"This is called Mandarin fish, which is best suited for steaming or braising. I won't roast this one, and will take it back for grandpa and grandma to eat."

Wild mandarin fish is rare in the north but more common in the south. Old men and women should like to eat it.

As the fish from upstream swam down, Zhang Haixiong also caught a carp weighing more than six kilograms.

Soon, Hu Bayi, Chen Hao and Wang Fatty had no time to eat loquats. As soon as the fishing rods were lowered, a fish was immediately hooked in just a few tens of seconds.

Chen Li was the most attentive. She did not touch the loquats, raisins, etc. that she brought with her and was working hard on fishing.

On the contrary, Chen Feng and Zhang Haixing were a little absent-minded, enjoying the spring sunshine in May.

When the two buckets were full, Chen Feng stopped fishing and took his sister to the shore to dig a hole to prepare for grilling fish.

"Chen Hao, Fatty, Bayi, go collect firewood."

There is woodland nearby, and many shrubs dried up and died last year.

By the time he had dug the pit and built the stone stove, the three teenagers had already returned with arms full of dry firewood.

"Why so fast?"

Although there are many bushes here, it is quite fast to pick up so much dry firewood in a few minutes.

"Brother, there are people here who are also collecting firewood. I will trade it with them for ten cents, and they will happily agree."

Chen Feng remembered that there was a village a few miles away, which was located roughly near the future Zhongguancun. The children were probably from that village.

In the countryside, people use shrubs, leaves, dried branches, etc. to make fire and cook.

Children as young as six or seven years old are in charge of the family. They collect firewood from time to time or even chop down trees and bring them back.

Chen Li lay on the edge, constantly putting her hands into the water in the wooden barrel, feeling for the fish inside.

"Little sister, look, what is this?"

Fatty Wang put down the dry firewood, revealing a wild duck inside.

It seems that this wild duck was resting in the bushes on the shore and did not migrate away, becoming the unlucky ghost of Fatty Wang's slingshot shooting practice.

"Roast Duck!"

Chen Li, who had let go of the fish, saw the duck come out of her mouth and immediately picked up the duck.

"Thank you, Fatty."

"Hehe!" Fatty Wang couldn't help but wink at Chen Hao.

"What are you showing off? I'm far away from you, otherwise you would be my prey." Chen Hao curled his lips.

Use matches to ignite straw paper, leaves, etc., and soon a faint smoke rises from the river bank.

He first washed it with river water, then secretly washed it inside and out three times with well water from the space before Chen Feng started to grill the fish.

Zhang Haixiong personally roasted the duck for Chen Li.

When they were almost done, seven boys and six girls in the woods also came out with firewood.

Seeing Chen Feng and his men burning something on the shore, they came over curiously.

“Are you grilling fish?”

"Yes, it's in this river."

"Impossible, my father came here last month and there was not a single fish left."

"Last month was last month. Now there are fish in the river again." Fatty Wang said, "This river is so big and so long. How can we catch all the fish?"

Some of the children didn't quite believe it, but when they saw the fish in the fish bucket and the fish being grilled, they began to believe it a little.

Chen Feng smiled and said, "If you want to eat fish, tell your parents and try using a fishing rod or a fishing net. You might get something."

"I'll go get my fishing rod now!"

"Brother, I'm going too!"

A dozen children carrying firewood ran home quickly.

When Chen Feng and the others started eating, wow!

There were no less than three hundred people, including men, women, young and old, and each of them was holding a fishing rod and a fish basket.

Chen Feng also saw a pregnant woman with a child on her back in a bamboo basket.

Life in the countryside is hard!

The scene of fishing under the bed can no longer be seen today.

An old man even came over to ask.

"Comrade, did you really catch the fish from the river?"

"It is true, old man, there are fish in the river, you can try."
