Affection for Sidaogou during the Famine

When Han Zhaozhao went to the secret fishing spot in Shichahai again, his heart sank!

Why are there so many people?

She stood on the embankment and counted them. There were only three or two ducks, but there were about sixteen or seventeen people.

There were so many people sitting and lying on the small 200 square meter meadow. Even a stupid wild duck would not fall into the trap, right? ?

Han Zhaozhao was stunned with shock!

Today, her ducks are about to fly!

When she just came here, she had a bad feeling. Today, Shichahai was full of people, comparable to the tourist attractions in later generations, except that it was so crowded that it could be packed with people.

There were definitely more people than ducks, and the wild ducks were frightened so much that they flew up and down in the sky, circling continuously but not daring to land.

After finally catching a few of them, they were still far away from the shore and stayed in the middle of the water, not daring to go ashore.

Han Zhaozhao was gloating, which was really a joke!

The old men who were fishing on the shore stopped fishing and just watched the fun with their hands on their backs.

"Hehehe, in all my years of life, this is the first time I've seen more people catching ducks than ducks in Shichahai!"

"Yes, it's a real spectacle! It looks like all the gentlemen in the capital are coming here to catch wild ducks, right?"

The two old men in Mao suits were laughing and joking with each other, but the young man next to them said: "Leader, there were more people than this when we eliminated the four pests last year!

Just wait and see, if we keep doing this for a few more days, someone will definitely be able to pick up a wild duck for free.

Sparrows are light and nimble, so they were caught by the common people anyway."

An old man stroked his chin and nodded thoughtfully: "Gangzi, what you said makes sense! Then the three of us will come again tomorrow? Maybe with good luck, the wild duck will fall into our arms!"

Another old man laughed out loud at his amusement: "When you were young, you were optimistic. If you still talk like this now, you are just daydreaming!"

"What's wrong with daydreaming? It's not against the law! It's better than staying at home and being annoyed by your unfilial descendants!

What do you think we should do? There are so many people around, and no fish is biting. If you don't want to wait for ducks to fall from the sky, why don't we go to another place?"

"Okay, let's go to Beihai. Maybe there will be fewer people there. Before I left today, I made a promise to my wife that I would bring back a fish.

My wife said that if we catch carp, we will braise it, if we catch grass carp, we will boil the fish fillets, if we catch crucian carp, we will stew it with tofu, and if we catch catfish, she will braise it for me!

Whatever flavor you want to eat depends on what fish I can bring home today.

Let me tell you, I had a dream last night. I dreamed about the stewed live fish that we ate in Hunan Province.

I haven’t caught anything for a long time. I’m drooling just thinking about it. I’m sure I’ll be able to catch a big grass carp today.”

Another old man laughed and said, "Then I have to go and have a free meal. My wife is not good at cooking fish. It's not as delicious as my sister-in-law's. I've been craving this for a long time!"

"That won't work! If you want to come to my house for a meal, you have to bring something.

If you catch fish, take the hairtail. If you don’t catch any fish, take the original liquor that the old leader robbed, otherwise don’t even think about coming to my house for nothing.”

While chatting, the two old men were escorted by the young man out of Shichahai and got on a tricycle and rode towards Beihai.

Han Zhaozhao, who was following not far behind them, scratched her head. Why was she riding a tricycle? This was different from what she had imagined!

As soon as the two old men saw his posture, they knew that he was no ordinary person. He was accompanied by guards, so he must be a senior leader.

It is so surprising that they don’t travel by car but by tricycle!

Han Zhaozhao was sitting on the bus and was almost squeezed into a pancake by others.

She secretly made up her mind to find a way to get a bicycle tomorrow. She had to rely on her short legs. She could walk too slowly and was afraid of the crowds on the bus. Moreover, most people these days only took a bath once a month, so her body had all kinds of odors, which was too much for her nose.

After finally arriving at Beihai, she found that there were indeed fewer people here, but only about half as many as Shichahai, and still more crowded than usual.

She walked slowly along the coast, ready to choose a good spot. But she was disappointed. After going around half of the North Sea, there was no vacant spot. All the spots were occupied.

"Eh? Aren't those the two old men from before?"

Han Zhaozhao passed by the place where he and Grandpa Guan had gone fishing last year and found one of the old men had just sat down and started fishing, while the other old man with a guard was still cleaning the ground where the stool and bucket were placed more than 20 meters away.

Han Zhaozhao hadn't touched a fishing rod for a long time. She was excited to see the prey and her hands were itching. She also wanted to cast a few casts!

Unfortunately, she was not prepared today. She originally came here to catch wild ducks, and only brought a sack filled with a ball of nylon thread and more than a pound of corn kernels.

Watching others fishing is fun! She stopped and leaned against a willow tree to watch. However, time passed and no fish was caught.

"Has this fish learned to be smart? Why won't it take the bait?" He couldn't help but complain.

Another old man had also made preparations before fishing. As he put the bait on the rod and lowered it, he comforted the fish by his side: "Don't be impatient. You need to be patient when fishing. It's only a short while now. The fish are in the middle of the water. If they want to bite, they'll have to swim for a while!"

"Shut up, how can you say that? The lake is so small, even if it was on the other side, I would have swum back and forth a long time ago.

I wondered if there were too many people today and the fish were scared and hid under the water?

Lao Meng, didn't you dream about catching a big grass carp last night? Maybe your wish will come true soon. Come on, whether you can eat the live fish prepared by my sister-in-law today depends on your performance. "

"Then you have to keep your eyes open. Old Meng, I've always had better luck than you. You'd better prepare the original juice bar. I will definitely not let you stay overnight today!"

People say that old people are just children. It seems that no matter how high-ranking an official is, people are all the same when they get old. They argue and compete with each other and no one gives in. It's so childish!

"Hey! Little girl, why did you follow us to Beihai? Where is your parents?"

Old Master Meng glanced and saw Han Zhaozhao smiling at them under the tree, and realized that this was the kid from Shichahai.

Han Zhaozhao replied: "My parents are at work, I didn't come with you, you are overthinking it!

I was looking for a place to catch wild ducks, but there were too many people in Shichahai and the ducks were scared away, so I came here to try my luck. "

"Ah? Catching wild ducks? You're the only kid like me? Hahaha! You naughty little girl, who did you learn this from? Are you craving for meat?

Come here, come to grandpa. It’s very dangerous near the water. If someone pushes you into the water, you will freeze even if you don’t drown.

How about this, you accompany grandpa to fish and chat, and I will treat you to braised pork at the restaurant at noon."

Whose child is this? The adults are so careless. How could they let the child come to the lake to play alone? Oh, and he even carried a big sack. Is he trying to sit back and wait for a wild duck to fall from the sky - to pick up meat for free?
