Chapter 30 Someone Is Taking Advantage of Someone's Misfortune
Mrs. Du went to the kitchen to work. Bai Yunxi found a thin bamboo pole, prepared a thin line, and found iron wire to make a fish hook. There was no float. Bai Yunxi saw the shuttlecock on the windowsill and plucked a feather instead.
After preparing everything, she carried a small bucket and a small shovel, and took Yaya to the river to fish.
In the past, fishing was a leisure activity, but now it is a livelihood.
The mentality is different, and there is no enjoyment.
She found a cool and shallow place and dug some earthworms as bait. She and Yaya each made a small stool, and started to struggle after getting in position.
The little girl sat on the stool, holding her chin with both hands, watching her grandmother tie the line, tie the hook, wrap the feather, hang the earthworm, and then throw it into the water. She was very curious.
"Grandma, is this fishing?"
"Yes, the fish will bite the hook soon. Grandma has a trick for fishing.
Bai Yunxi looked at Yaya's well-behaved appearance and liked her very much. There are fish wherever there is water, which has been scientifically proven.
The grandparents and grandchildren sat by the river, quietly waiting for the fish to bite the hook.
The sun was a little hot, and sweat broke out on their foreheads in a short while.
"Good boy, go sit under the shade of the tree and wait for grandma, don't get sunburned."
Bai Yunxi looked at the sweat on Yaya's nose and urged her.
"Yaya is not hot, Yaya wants to be with grandma. "
The little girl's eyes narrowed into a slit when she grinned at her, and she continued to drag her chin and stare at the position of the fishhook.
Bai Yunxi had no choice but to check the shaded area on the shore and try to move to a cooler position. Otherwise, the grandparents and grandchildren would faint from the heat if they didn't catch any fish.
Just as she was about to put away the bamboo pole and move to another place, the bamboo pole in her hand seemed to move.
Bai Yunxi knew there was a fish by the feel of it.
When the bamboo pole fell for the third time, Bai Yunxi suddenly lifted the bamboo pole, and with a flutter, the fish's tail slapped the water surface, and she quickly threw it to the shore.
"Isn't it hooked?"
Looking at the fish tumbling on the grass, Bai Yunxi walked over, removed the fishhook and put it in the bucket. A grass carp as big as a palm was a good start.
Ya Ya moved the small stool to the side of the bucket and looked at the fish swimming in the bucket in amazement.
"Grandma, it's really a fish."
"Of course it's fake, grandma is very capable. "
Bai Yunxi was also very happy. No matter how big or small the fish was, it was a good thing to have a fish on the hook.
Hang the earthworm again, threw the fishing line into the water, and continued fishing.
As for the feather float, it was purely decorative.
About three minutes later, another grass carp was thrown ashore by her quick eyes and hands. This time it was about half a pound.
Throwing the hook into the water again, Bai Yunxi looked at Yaya's admiring eyes and couldn't help laughing.
The little girl who was afraid of her a few days ago now had little stars in her eyes.
After being depressed for several days, it was the first time she laughed from the heart.
"Grandma is so great. I also want to learn fishing."
"Okay, when Yaya grows up a little and has more strength, grandma will teach you."
The adults at home are annoying, but the little girl is still lovable and considerate.
"Grandma will stew fish soup for you later, the kind that smells delicious. "
Carp soup nourishes people, especially children, and strengthens the spleen and replenishes deficiency. It is most suitable for Yaya's thin constitution.
Just when Zuxun and his wife were fishing with great interest, a mocking voice came from behind them.
"Oh, the wife of a scholar actually has the leisure to fish? I heard that her family can't even afford to eat?"
Bai Yunxi turned around and saw an old woman in a navy blue cotton skirt standing on the river bank with a hoe on her shoulder. She looked at her with a gloating look in her eyes.
