Chapter 182: It’s full of fish!

 “Hmm,” Xu Jinning responded obediently.

"Ning Ning." Xu Xiangbei leaned over and whispered in her ear, "It doesn't matter if you can't catch fish. I can catch fish. When the time comes, you follow me. If I catch it, I will throw it into your basket." Here, this is yours."

Xu Jinning:…

Xu Jinning couldn’t laugh or cry.

 Brother, it doesn’t have to be like this.

But Xu Xiangbei had made up his mind that if Xu Jinning really didn't catch any fish, he would just do this.

  Don't let your little sister cry because she didn't catch any fish.

"Caught." At this time, a voice of surprise came from not far away. It turned out that someone who went down to the river had already caught a fish, and the fish was not small.

 A lot of fish fry are released every year, including black carp fry, crucian carp fry, grass carp fry, etc.

“Brother, little brother, let’s not delay, hurry up and catch fish.” Xu Jinning urged, she was afraid that her two brothers would only care about her, which would affect their own performance.

 “Okay, then pay more attention to yourself.”

Xu Xiangdong and Xu Xiangbei didn’t delay any longer, and immediately bent down and carried the buckets and started catching fish.

Xu Jinning took action.

 She picked up the basket and was about to fish it into the water.

 At this moment, someone came over.

She was an aunt in the village, a beggar aunt. She was not a good person, nor a bad person, but she liked to talk the most, and she also liked gossip. She also liked to guide people to do things. Somehow, she now came to Xu Jinning's house. Around me, it seemed like it was intentional.

 Seeing Xu Jinning wearing rain boots and holding a basket, he couldn't help but shook his head.

 “Little girl, you can’t catch half a fish like this.”

“The fish in this river are very smart. If you put the basket down, the fish would have run away long ago even if it was there.”

"And your basket is also very shallow. Even if the fish goes in, it might jump out again soon."

“To catch fish, you have to catch it with your hands.”

Xu Jinning looked at her basket and said nothing. It seemed to make sense, but she couldn't catch the fish with her hands. Maybe the fish would run away as soon as she touched it.

“Yes, why do you, a little girl like you, come to catch fish if you are patriotic? Isn’t this nonsense?”

"Aunt Hua, my family is willing to let Ningning come and catch her. Even if she can't catch her, it's okay." Xu Xiangdong was a little unhappy when he heard Aunt Hua's last words, and replied lightly.

Although these words are not unpleasant to hear, Aunt Hua was a little unhappy because she was embarrassed by her junior.

“Then I want to see if this basket and the little girl can catch fish. If they can catch fish, I will drink the river water.”

 After saying that, Aunt Hua stopped catching fish and wanted to see if Xu Jinning could catch any fish with this basket.

Xu Jinning: ...so childish?

However, since you are not in a hurry to catch fish yourself, but want to watch me catch it, then I will catch it.

 Because he had been enlightened by his family before, Xu Jinning didn't feel much burden even if Aunt Hua was waiting by the side to laugh.

So she bent down slightly and fished the basket into the river with one hand.

 The water in Qinghe River is usually relatively clear.

However, after the water level drops every day during the Spring Festival, the river water begins to become a little turbid. It will not become clear again until the water level rises again.

Today, so many people went down to the river together, and the already turbid water became even turbid.

  It can be said that with the naked eye, you cannot see whether there are fish swimming in the river at all.

 So, I haven’t picked up this basket yet, and I don’t know if there are any fish in it.

 When the basket went down, Xu Jinning did not think of picking it up all at once, but let it sit for a while.

Perhaps, a fish will just come in. However, Xu Jinning didn't let her sit for long, and decided to pick it up and take a look.

 And Aunt Hua next to her was still watching.

Xu Jinning was about to pick up the basket, thinking, God bless me, at least give me one, even a small fish.

 Even if there are no small fish, shrimps, loaches and the like are still acceptable.

If possible, Xu Jinning still doesn’t want others to laugh.

As soon as Xu Jinning finished saying this, he suddenly felt movement around his feet, something like fish swimming.

But through the rain boots, Xu Jinning didn’t know if he might have sensed something wrong.

Fish, fish, just swim into my sister’s basket.

After reciting silently, Xu Jinning planned to pick up the basket, but...

Xu Jinning found that the basket seemed a bit heavy and she couldn't lift it with one hand.

When Aunt Hua saw her like this, she felt that she did not dare to pick it up and look at it, for fear that there would be nothing in the basket.

 If he couldn't pick it up with one hand, Xu Jinning used both hands.

However, she found to her amazement that even with her strength, she couldn't pick it up with both hands.

 The basket is very heavy, and there seems to be a lot of stuff in it, and it seems like it can swim.

 There can’t really be fish.

However, if it’s a fish, it can’t be that heavy.

 Are there any stones?

 She found the stone, so she couldn’t pick it up?

"Ning Ning, what's wrong?" Xu Xiangdong asked hurriedly when he saw Xu Jinning's appearance.

“Brother, there seems to be something in my basket. It’s very heavy and I can’t pick it up.” Xu Jinning told the truth.

 Aunt Hua on the side heard it and made a cut with disdain in her eyes.

Muttered in a low voice: "Pretending."

Xu Jinning frowned slightly. At first, she thought that this auntie was just a bit talkative and liked to meddle in other people's business. Now she felt that this auntie seemed to be specifically targeting her, and her words were getting more and more unpleasant.

Although Aunt Hua’s voice was quiet, Xu Xiangdong was close to Xu Jinning, so she heard it.

 His face immediately fell.

“Brother, my hands can’t hold it anymore, help me pick it up quickly.” Xu Jinning hurriedly called to Xu Xiangdong, signaling with his eyes that Xu Xiangdong should not spend too much time with such people.

Xu Xiangdong snorted softly and felt that it was important to help his sister, so he quickly reached down, held the basket, and lifted it up.

Xu Xiangdong originally thought that the basket should not be heavy, even if there was something in it.

 The little girl may feel it is heavy, maybe because she has less strength.

 But after a quick mention, Xu Xiangdong found that the basket still had some weight.

 Hey, what’s in it?

 Is there a lot of fish?

Xu Xiangdong wanted to reach out and touch it, but before he could, his hands had already lifted the basket.

 The contents of the basket were also exposed to everyone's eyes.

"I'm just telling you, how could there be a basket... How, how could there be so many fish, a basket full of fish..." Before Aunt Hua finished her mocking words, she opened her eyes and looked at everything in front of her, shocked. !

 At this time, it was around nine o'clock in the morning, and the sun was shining just right.

It also fell on the basket that Xu carried to the east.

I saw that the basket was full of fish!
