In the book, I was fed by my sister

When Song Ran saw the straightened fishing line, she couldn't believe it, "Oh my god, we can't really catch a fish." She dropped the laundry mallet and pulled the fish up with Song Li.

A two-pound grass carp was pulled ashore and was floundering on the shore.

Song Ran pounced on it and held it down. The fish was flapping its wings on her chest, but she was confused. How could she hold the fish?

"Sister, wait for me a moment. I'll go get the fish basket."

Song Li ran into the bamboo forest in a hurry, picked up Li Mingping's fish basket and ran away.

"You little bastard, put down my fish basket." Li Mingping exclaimed.

"I caught a big fish. Uncle, can you lend me your fish basket?"

"What? Big fish!" Li Mingping put away his fishing rod and ran after Song Li.

"Wow, it's really a big fish."

But why is it a grass carp? Li Mingping was puzzled. Didn’t he give earthworms? Could it be that the grass carp was a meat eater?

"My friend! Let me do it!" Li Mingping put his hands into the fish's gills and easily caught the fish and threw it into the fish basket.

Fish: Who would understand? The water plants have sent me to see the King of Hell.

Li Mingping looked at the fish flopping around in the basket with satisfaction. He felt a sense of accomplishment, as if he had caught the fish himself. "My friend, you are really lucky."

"It's not that I'm lucky, it's that there are so many fish here." Song Li pointed her little hand towards the water.

Li Mingping looked carefully at the water surface with his blurry eyes. He didn't know until he looked that he got goose bumps. Why did all the fish gather here?

"Hehe." Li Mingping was a little embarrassed, but he still said with a shameless face: "Niece Ranran, would you be willing to change seats with me? The bamboo forest is very cool."

Song Ran didn't pay much attention to it, but he was still worried about the old man's health. "Ming Ping Bo, it's under the scorching sun here, can you stand it?"

"I'm in good health. I can just fold a hat out of the banana leaf to protect myself from the sun."

Song Ran was pleased to see this, "Okay, Xiaoguai, stay here and accompany uncle to fish."

"Come, I'll give you a pointed hat too." Li Mingping folded a hat for himself and another one for Song Li.

Song Li frowned but did not refuse.

In this normal world, she should probably just slowly try to reach out to others.

"Come, I've put the bait on for you." Li Mingping handed the fishing rod to Song Li again.

Li Mingping has lived to this age. He fell in love with fishing in his twenties and has a fishing history of more than 30 years. He has never caught as many fish as he did today. When the hook is thrown down, the duckweed starts to shake, and grass carp, silver carp, and crucian carp can all be caught.

Song Ran finished washing the quilt and came over to look at the fish basket. She was delighted. Oh my goodness, so many fish! Fried small fish, crucian carp soup, braised fish... She had already thought of countless ways to cook fish.

Li Mingping took a look at the fish basket and said with satisfaction: "My friend, let's stop here today. I still have many places to go." He tried to lift the fish basket, and his hands shook like dead branches in the wind.

"Let me give you a hand." Song Ran held the basin with one hand and lifted one side of the fish basket with the other.

"Niece Ranran, at least half of these fish were caught by you. I will go home with you and you can pick out the fish."

The three of them went back to the Song family together. Before they reached the door, they saw a crowd of people outside the Song family's courtyard.

"I have long felt that there is something strange about the Song family's locust tree. Just think about it, how many trees died in the village during the drought that year, but only the Song family's tree is still in good condition. There is something strange about it."

"Yeah." The people around nodded in agreement.

"Perhaps Song Shiqiao and his wife were possessed by the locust tree, which is why they did such stupid things."

"Isn't it?"

"How come it's not? Isn't the little one also sickly?"

"Everyone, is there anything you want to talk about when you gather around my house?" Song Ran interrupted.

Everyone turned around and saw the two sisters of the Song family and Li Mingping holding a basket full of fish. The fishy smell filled the air, making people salivate.

"Oh, Uncle Mingping, you're so lucky today! This basket of fish must be weighing several dozen kilograms, right?"

The villagers who had just been discussing ghosts and gods were immediately attracted by the basket of fish.

"Uncle Mingping, you caught so many fish, would you mind selling them to us at a lower price?" Everyone started discussing, and some had already started planning to buy some fish to take home.

"These fish are not caught by me alone. They have the final say." Li Mingping smiled and waved his hands. He didn't want to sell them, and the people in the village couldn't afford the price, so he pushed Song Ran and the others out.

"We need their approval." Someone in the crowd muttered, and everyone heard it and looked at Song Ran.

Looking at so many people, Song Ran felt a little embarrassed. She also understood that if she gave money to this family but not to that one, she would inevitably feel dissatisfied.

Song Li looked at her elder sister's embarrassment and sighed helplessly. In her eyes, she would never give a share of her things. She pretended to be pitiful and said:

"Sister, we haven't had meat for a long time. I want to eat the golden fried fish, the milky white crucian carp soup, and the braised grass carp."

Everyone: I want to eat too!

Song Ran touched Song Li's head. How could she consider others? She had to take care of her sister first.

"Ming Ping Bo, we'll take half of the fish, and you can handle the rest yourself."

Li Mingping touched his nose. Now it was his turn to be in trouble.

Song Ran picked out all the crucian carps and selected two grass carps weighing more than two kilograms.

"Ming Ping Bo, do you think there is enough left?"

"Enough, enough." There were still two grass carps weighing more than two kilograms and five silver carp left in the fish basket.

"Ran Zi, there are only two people in your family. Can you finish all that?" Cang Lian's wife said sourly when she saw Song Ran taking so much.

"Auntie, you can raise fish in my water tank." Song Li looked at the person and said sweetly.

Choking on her words, Canglian's wife lowered her mouth and turned to Li Mingping and said, "Brother Mingping, can you sell me one of these fish?"

"Aunt, first come first served. I said it first just now."

"Oh, first come first served, my family and Brother Mingping are related."

"Ming Pingbo, you have to sell it to me."

"Ming Pingbo, my son calls you uncle, so don't forget your grandson."

……

Everyone was talking at once, which annoyed Li Mingping, more than waiting for a whole day without catching any fish.

"Uncle Mingping, do you want to show these fish to your aunt? They are your trophies today." Song Li said.

"Yes, yes, yes, I have to show this to my wife, or she will say that I am losing my ambition because of playing with things."

"This……"

Li Mingping's wife, Yang Bailan, is a notorious miser in the village. She would like to make every penny count. They wanted to get an advantage from Yang Bailan, but in one word: No way!

"If you want to buy more, come to my house." After saying this, Li Mingping picked up the fish basket and hurried home.
