She was robbed by the leader of the family and had three children.

The snow has been getting heavier these days, the sea is completely frozen, and the ferry has stopped operating long ago.

Ye Shu listens to the radio at home every day and practices writing and drawing, and basically never goes out.

Although she was just putting on an act for others to see, she didn't do it in vain. For example, in painting, she had to get used to the painting style of this era and strive with the spirit of striving to align everything with the red flag!

I practiced writing by copying newspapers and some previous propaganda documents to get used to the writing style and tone of that era.

It was very cold outside, but she had a coal stove burning in her room and a bottle of salt water on her legs. She would change the water to hot water when it got cold, so she didn't feel cold.

Mrs. Jin came to visit with her two children: "Ever since they saw your paintings, these two boys have liked them. They said your paintings are very beautiful and insisted on coming to see you paint."

Ye Shu likes quietness, but she also welcomes occasional guests to liven up her home. She also takes this opportunity to relax and rest.

Sister Jin: "You really have a talent for painting! It's only been two days, and your paintings are getting better and better! You can take the test the day after tomorrow, and there will be no problem!"

She has seen Ye Shu's progress over the past two days, so she is very confident in her.

Ye Shu thought of the picky Luo Yunfang, smiled, and said nothing.

The reason why she practices so diligently is not because she succeeds at work, but because she has to prove herself!

Why should you be incompetent just because others think you are incompetent?

She felt that her competitive mentality was somewhat influenced by Huo Yisheng.

Someone outside called out to Sister Jin. It was Sister Chen: "The fishing has started. Are you going?"

Mrs. Jin was very surprised: "So early this year?"

Sister Chen: "Yes! They said the sea surface is already frozen very thick! I saw the squad leader leading the team over there!"

Ye Shu was curious: "Didn't they say the sea is frozen? How can we fish?"

Sister Jin was obviously very excited:

"This is the wisdom of the fishermen on the coast! When the sea is not frozen, they go out to sea to fish. After the sea freezes, they simply wait for the ice to be very thick, then cut a hole in the ice and cast their nets in."

Ye Shu suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen it in a short video before. Many places in the north rely on this method to fish in the winter.

But those are all lakes, because the entire lake surface is frozen. Once a hole appears in the ice, the fish will swim towards the hole to breathe fresh air, especially the big fish, so it is easy for them to get into the nets set by the fishermen in advance.

But the sea surface is only frozen in the area near the coast. It doesn’t make sense that the fish come to the hole to breathe, right?

If you really want to breathe, there is ice on this side of the vast ocean, so why not go to a place without ice?

But Jin's wife said, "You know what, we can actually catch a lot of fish using this method!"

"But it also depends on the timing. An experienced person can catch a lot of fish by casting their nets at the right time, but an inexperienced person will just casually cast their nets and will most likely come back empty-handed!"

After hearing this, Ye Shu suddenly understood that it must be related to the tide.

Sister Jin pulled her along: "Come on, let's go and see what's going on!"

Ye Shu had been sitting at home all day and really wanted to go out for a walk. It was still snowing outside, but not too heavily, so he followed them.

The person who chiseled the ice and cast the nets was an old squad leader in the army. He learned experience from the old fishermen on the island, and then every year when the sea surface froze, he led a squad to dig holes and cast the nets.

The troops on the island are disciplined and are not allowed to fish during normal times. If they want to eat fish, they can only exchange it with fishermen or go out to purchase it.

But every year when the sea freezes and the ferry stops operating, there is a shortage of supplies on the island, and the only option is to relax the policy, catch some fish appropriately according to local conditions, and subsidize supplies.

If the family compound also wants fish, they usually ask the young soldiers to help set the nets.

Of course, if the family compound has its own fishing nets, you can also chisel the ice and cast the nets yourself, but you usually need the help of the young soldiers.

Because the fishing nets are getting bigger and heavier, it is impossible for just a few female comrades to lift them.

Ye Shu stood on the shore and looked into the distance. She found that it was just as she expected. The tide was rising, but the rising tide would soon freeze again after hitting the ice and would not reach the shore at all.

However, the sea water under the ice is actually surging, so some seafood will come with the tide.

Xiao Gao ran over and asked Sister Jin and Ye Shu:

"Sister-in-law, where's your net? We've dug a few extra holes over there. Since it's not snowing too heavily right now, let's help you get it down quickly!"

Mrs. Jin had just hurried back to get the fishing net and immediately handed it to Xiao Gao: "Thank you for your help, Comrade Xiao Gao!"

Xiao Gao smiled with his big white teeth: "Sister-in-law, you're too polite!"

Then he took the fishing net and went down.

Mrs. Jin said to Ye Shu, "You don't have a net at home. Let's share the fish we caught today with Xiaozhuang."

Ye Shu smiled and thanked her without being polite: "Thank you, sister-in-law. I will ask you to teach me how to weave a net later."

Sister Jin: "Okay! This is easy!"

There were ten people in total, including the young soldiers and the old squad leader, who came to fish. They dug seven holes in total, and under five of the holes were the army's fishing nets.

The remaining two were fishing nets set up near the family compound.

The soldiers who led the fishing team today were from a regiment, and Xiao Gao often helped Huo Yisheng with his work, so after seeing Ye Shu and Mrs. Jin, he immediately came over to ask them.

This made the others around them dissatisfied: "Hey! We are so close, why don't you let us cast the net first?"

"Yes, I have food cooking on the stove at home! Hurry up and make it for us first!"

"We were here first, first come first served, understand?"

Because the first net cast will definitely catch more fish! Everyone wants to be first!

Xiao Gao pretended not to hear and ran away with Mrs. Jin's fishing net.

He was stupid before and really believed what these aunts and sisters said about first come first served. But when he really started to do it according to their way, he found out that each of them said that they were the first to arrive!

Then an endless quarrel began, neither of them gave in, which only wasted more time!

Now he has learned his lesson and simply stops asking. He will just download the network of whoever he gets his hands on!

Aunt Lin was very unhappy: "I came here first! Why did I leave before them?"

She immediately ran after Xiao Gao!

The ice surface was slippery to begin with, and with snow falling, it became even more slippery.

As soon as she rushed forward, she slipped and fell, and then she rushed directly towards the ice cave not far away!
