Chapter 40: Frog fishing
After hearing what Zhang Guan Guest said, Huang Yiyun knew that before the crops were harvested, he was afraid that he would not be able to catch eels in the fields. On the way back, Huang Yiyun had already thought of a trick.
Ask my uncle to do a few fishing directly, put down the bait on the hook, and go fishing for frogs, but the speed is much slower than the speed of picking up eels in the field at night.
Fortunately, I don’t need to go out at night, I just need to go out during the day to fish directly without any eyes.
Just let your younger brothers and sisters go out to play with their children while having nothing to do, and they can both play with them and make money at home, and work and do both.
After the younger brother and sister who had not yet asked for it, Huang Yiyun made a happy decision in his heart.
"Amiya is about to harvest the rice ears in the paddy fields in the village. The second season of rice is about to be planted. This year, if we plant the second season of rice in our paddy fields," Huang Yiyun asked Huang Li during the late meal.
"Our family doesn't plant it, and it can't plant it even if we want to. The paddy field has just been cleaned up and it is not enough. Even if it is planted, it is afraid that it will not be able to fill much pulp. In addition, our family has never planted rice. Now Ah Mi and your mother are still seeking scriptures from the Liu family, and our family will plant rice again next year.
As for planting winter wheat, our family doesn’t have enough fertility and no fat. In addition, the sweet potato seeds are later than other people’s families. I’m afraid that if I want to harvest them, I have to be much later than others.” Huang Li had thought about these questions a long time ago and shook his head and replied.
"From now on, you guys don't have to go out to play anymore. My sister has found you a job that is both fun and profitable." After hearing Huang Li's words, Huang Yiyun nodded, and then turned to his head to say to his younger brothers and sisters.
"Big girl, what is the money-making thing? It's not the busy farming season now. Mom is now home, too." Huang Liu said.
"Just fishing for frogs. We don't have to hold a torch during the day. The villagers have nothing to say, and we don't have to fish in the paddy fields. Let's go directly to the shallow ditch, which is covered with weeds and cool and moist places. Put the ears on the hook. The frog will naturally take the hook when he sees shaking things."
"Sister, the second sister knows that there are several places you mentioned? And when the second sister passed by, she also heard the sound of frogs from frogs. There must be frogs caught in it." The second sister said excitedly.
Just now, Zhang Lin said that the way to make money was no longer useful. After his elder sister thought of a way to make money, the second sister showed joy on her face and quickly told Huang Yiyun.
"Yes, let's go now. But, mom, let's go first to see if we can catch frogs. If possible, I'll be together tomorrow." Huang Li, who was standing by, frowning slightly after hearing the eldest sister and her younger brother-in-law fishing frogs, Huang Li frowned slightly, and after her lips moved, she didn't say some words after all.
Huang Li knew that the frogs were jumping very quickly, and he felt that the eldest sister and the others could not catch frogs. Even if they could catch them, they could not catch much, so they went there and planned to say something but didn't say it.
"Sister, I'll go too." The seventh brother walked into Huang Yiyun and took Huang Yiyun's hand.
"Success, my seventh brother is going there too, but if you are bored later, I will give up my courage to stop doing it. My elder sister will not take you to play in the future." Huang Yiyun shaved his seventh brother's nose with some amusement.
"No, I'll do whatever my elder sister asks me to do, and I'll do whatever my elder sister does." After seeing my elder sister take me out, I quickly raised my hand to assure me.
After the Huang family finished their late meal, the few small ones at home followed Huang Yiyun to remove the frogs.
He also carried a wooden barrel with a lid.
Under the guidance of my second sister, she came to the ridge of a shallow canal.
"Sister, how is this?" asked the second sister.
"Yes, let's divide it into different ways. After fish catch earthworms, they can sway slowly in this aquatic grass. When frogs see that they are mosquitoes and insects, they will go to hunt them. At that time, we can hook the frogs." Huang Yiyun looked at the canal in front of him. There was not much water in the canal, and it happened that only had just soaked the roots of the aquatic grass, and there were a lot of unknown weeds growing inside.
Occasionally, I heard frogs and crickets chirping.
The siblings and sisters watched their elder sister do it, and they all followed suit.
Put it on your ears and put the fishing line directly into the weeds in the canal.
Gently shake the fishing line on your hand.
Slightly shaking up and down.
"It's hooked." After a short while, Huang Yiyun felt the fishing rod in his hand sinking, and then pulled it up, and the green frog was picked up with a scream.
After seeing this, Huang Yiyun quickly grabbed the frog with one hand and then took it off the hook.
Huang Yiyun asked his uncle to make three fish hooks on this fishing rod.
However, this fish hook was made by my uncle with bamboo slices. I am worthy of being clever and skillful. These fish hooks are not only cut into small and sharp by my uncle, but it is difficult for the frog to escape once it is hooked.
After seeing their elder sister catch the first frog, they all became a little anxious.
But the more anxious you are, the less you can't eat hot tofu.
"Sister, I'll come, I'll come." After seeing his elder sister catch frogs, the seventh brother happily grabbed the fish and said to Huang Yiyun, who didn't let go of fishing.
"Okay, my elder sister brings you bait first. I just saw how I fished. I should know it! Well, that's it. Slowly shake up and down and lift it up and down. The amplitude should not be too large or too light." After Huang Yiyun took the bait, he taught his seventh brother step by step.
"Fourth brother, sixth sister, your hands are too large. Slow, gentle, well, that's it. Don't be anxious, take it slowly, frogs will naturally take the bait."
"Here, I'm here, I'm here to catch it. Wow, I'll kill two birds with one stone. Are you fishing for two frogs?" The third sister, who has always been gentle and virtuous, was also excited and her face turned red after seeing that she caught frogs by herself, but she still had two frogs.
Some things are like one and two, and there are two and three. Soon, the second sister, fourth brother, fifth sister and sixth sister caught frogs one after another.
Even the Seventh Brother, the little radish head, caught a frog.
His face turned red with excitement and happiness.
Huang Yiyun smiled happily and excitedly when she saw her younger brother and sister-in-law, and she also looked at her younger brother and sister with a smile on her face.
From the first meeting with my younger brother and sister, she has no trace of childish innocence and liveliness, to the moment, although my younger brother and sister are still black in thin, she has at least recovered her innocent and lively life as a child, and she is full of energy compared to the past.
When Huang Yiyun saw his younger brother and sister fishing for frogs, he saw a lot of fat snails in a shallow canal.
