Others were not idle either. They used bamboo baskets and nets to catch fish in the shallower water, and they counted as many as they could. Anyway, everyone was very enthusiastic.
Xu Lang saw them from a distance and waved, "Brother Ci, here!"
The young man had a loud voice. He successfully attracted everyone's attention as soon as he spoke, and then followed his gaze to the direction of Song Yingwan and the others.
The little girl was too thin-skinned to withstand such a scene. Song Yingwan quickly pulled Tang Xiaotang and Yang Xue out of the way, and pushed out the words of thanks behind them. They were looking for him anyway.
He thanked her still calmly and walked over calmly, but when he passed by Song Yingwan, he glanced at her with unclear meaning.
Song Yingwan looked at the sky with a guilty conscience.
Well, the weather is not so good today!
After the thanks arrived, the people from the educated youth spot also gathered together. After all, we were here to fish today, and it was not easy to watch. Zhang Guoan organized everyone to go into the water.
The taller and stronger one went to the deep water to help pull the net, while the other half was chasing fish in the shallow water, so they all contributed.
Xie Ci and Xu Lang both went to pull the net, and Zhou Zichuan and Chen Xiangdong were also traveling with them.
The water was already very cold at this time. Song Yingwan looked a little worried, fearing that they might catch a cold again. At this time, the medical conditions were not good and it was not convenient to see a doctor.
The women and elderly people in the village gathered together to watch the excitement and chat. They gathered in twos and threes and speculated on how many fish they could catch today. There have been times when the fish caught were not enough to share, and even if there were many people in the family, even one bite would not be enough for one person.
After a while, I heard the man in the water shouting, closing the net!
The ladies and aunts stopped chattering and asked, "How much will you get?"
“Is the fish big?”
"Fugui, you can't move faster!"
……
The captain was sitting on the shore, and he had a headache as they were noisy one by one. He shouted, "Okay, why are you arguing! Can we do it without you?"
The captain had already spoken, and the others didn't dare to say anything. They just stretched their necks to look.
After these people became honest, the captain felt comfortable and couldn't help but take a few steps closer and call for people to come up.
After pulling up the net, I poured the contents onto the ground. There were quite a lot of them, including big and small fish, all fresh and flopping on the ground.
When the children saw them, they all came up to touch them. They were so novel. It wasn’t like they had never seen them before, but they had rarely seen so many and so big ones.
The ladies and aunts are also happy. This is the first time they have accessed the Internet. There will definitely be more in the future.
Then those gentlemen jumped in again, which was a good start. The fish will definitely grow well this year.
The captain still stayed on the shore as the commander-in-chief, watching the pile of fish to prevent anyone from taking them away. He couldn't help but laugh happily while watching.
After watching for a while, there were fewer people. After all, every family has work to do and cannot spend the whole day here. Moreover, the village organizes fishing every year. Everyone has an idea of when it will end. Those with children can Keep the children here and pay attention to the situation. Those without children don't have to worry since their men are here anyway, so some people just go back and do whatever they need to do.
After watching it for a while, Song Yingwan felt it was boring. Thinking that it would take some time to finish, she wanted to go back and prepare some ginger soup so that she could drink it to warm herself up when she came back to say goodbye.
Tang Xiaotang and Yang Xue also followed back after hearing this. It was indeed a bit boring to wait. They couldn't just go around the pile of fish like children, right?
The two of them had nothing to do after they returned, so they simply went to her house with Song Yingwan.
Song Yingwan thought for a while, and if the food is already cooked, then he should cook more and give a bowl to all these educated youths, which would give them more fire.
She pulled out a few pieces of ginger from the kitchen, washed them and sliced them, then slowly simmered them in a pot with cold water until the ginger water turned yellow. However, she was afraid that some people would not be used to it, so she added some brown sugar for seasoning.
Song Yingwan was boiling ginger water, while Tang Xiaotang and Yang Xue were sitting in front of the stove talking. They were not surprised to see Song Yingwan putting so much brown sugar in it. They had gotten to know each other after such a long time and knew what Song Yingwan was doing. When it comes to rice, I'm the most generous. I put in enough oil and sugar in one meal, which is enough for someone else to eat for a week.
After the brown sugar and ginger water was cooked, Song Yingwan served a bowl to the three of them because it was still early. In fact, she was not used to drinking this, but she could still accept it. At least it was not harmful to the body.
Tang Xiaotang has not been fond of drinking ginger soup since she was a child, but seeing them both sipping it, and with so much brown sugar added to it, it was hard to waste even the full serving, so she held her nose and poured it in in one go.
After drinking, Song Yingwan and Yang Xue grinned while grinning.
Tang Xiaotang cried sadly, "Sure enough, I'm not suitable for this thing." Then he smacked his lips again, "But it's quite sweet."
Song Yingwan smiled and said, "Would you like another bowl for you? There is still a lot in the pot."
Tang Xiaotang shook his head, "Forget it, let's keep it for them. This bowl is enough for me."
Song Yingwan and Yang Xue looked at each other and smiled, but did not expose her.
The fish catchers came back around noon, and almost every family shared at least two fish, and everyone had a smile on their face.
Since the educated youth spots were in a special situation, they could not be divided by households like the villagers, so they were divided into five or six sections, some large and some small, and they were asked to go back and discuss how to divide them among themselves.
This is already considered good. They just put in their efforts. It is said that this is the property of the village. Even if they don't think about them, the educated youth have nothing to say.
After the male educated youths brought the fish back together, Zhang Guoan thought for a while and gave one to Xie Ci and Song Yingwan. It was neither big nor small, and it looked like it weighed two or three pounds.
He thanked me without saying anything and went back with the fish.
When Song Yingwan saw someone coming back, he guessed that it was over. He put the ginger soup in an earthen pot, which was still steaming because of the residual fire. He left two more bowls for his thanks, just as Tang Xiaotang and Yang Xue were about to go back. , let them take it over.
When they returned, the male educated youths were still excited and were surrounding the fish, discussing how to eat them.
Yang Xue greeted people, "This is the ginger soup that Ying Wan cooked for everyone. It's still hot, come and drink it to get rid of the cold."
Everyone was stunned for a moment. They didn't expect Song Yingwan to still think about them. Although it was not a valuable thing, they still felt something in their hearts.
Xu Xiuyu also said, "Now that everything is cooked, come over and have a drink. They have been soaked in water for a day."
The male educated youths were not polite. They went to the kitchen to get a bowl and drank it. At first they thought it was just simple ginger water, but when they opened the lid, they realized that there was brown sugar in it.
Everyone knows that brown sugar is not cheap, so there must be a lot of it in such a big can of soup. The others were slightly moved, holding the bowls and drinking sips, it's so sweet!
Xu Lang also filled a bowl and almost spit it out after one gulp. The taste of brown sugar and ginger was too weird, and he didn't like sweet things either.
But seeing other people drinking it with gusto, I couldn’t say anything, so I just held my nose and drank it.
