Chen Wanbai and Liu are also here. Now they are considered a single family, so they also have a quota to participate.
There are only her and Liu in her family. Considering that Liu is weak and cannot take care of herself, and she got sick not long ago. Chen Wanbai directly signed up regardless of Liu's objection.
As soon as Tian Guihua saw them, she said hello to Mrs. Qian and quickly came to their side.
"Why are you here? I thought you two weren't coming." Tian Guihua asked.
"Stay further away. We will go out late and don't want to come too early." Mrs. Liu hurriedly explained. She was afraid in her heart that if she came early, the villagers would chase them and ask questions.
At this moment, everyone's attention is focused on the family members in the pond. Each one of them is louder than the other, and there is no free time to care about them.
Chen Wanbai has never paid any attention to the opinions of outsiders and the so-called face. In her opinion, these things are not for food or clothing, and are of some use.
Seeing Liu and Tian Guihua chatting, Chen Wanbai was fully armed and was about to go down to the pond.
"Xiao Bai, are you okay? Why don't you go down there?" Mrs. Liu saw Chen Wanbai rolling up his trousers and about to go down to the pond. After all, she still felt uneasy and asked worriedly.
"Sister, you should just stand here and watch. Look at your frail little body. If you fall down, it will be like the weight falling into the mire. You will have to sink in. Then we will still I have to work hard to pull you out." Tian Guihua joked with a smile, her eyes full of ridicule.
"Mom, just stand on the shore. When I catch it, I will bring it to you. Don't stand too close, be careful to slide down." Chen Wanbai turned around and said.
"Then be careful, it doesn't matter if you can't catch it." Mrs. Liu held the barrel tightly in her hand, her eyes full of worry.
Chen Wanbai smiled at Liu Shi and Tian Guihua, and then carefully went down to the pond.
At this time, the water in the pond was no longer clear. It had become turbid under the agitation of everyone, making it difficult for people to see the scene clearly.
Everyone was bent over and groping back and forth in the water with their hands.
The adults chatted with each other happily, exchanging their fishing skills and experiences.
"To catch fish, you need to have quick eyes and quick hands. You can catch them when you see them right."
"Poke them slowly with your fingers and don't disturb them."
The younger children are particularly excited, especially those who were not eligible to participate last year but can finally participate this year.
They had no intention of catching fish, but gathered together and chatted animatedly.
"Look, I caught one!" A boy excitedly raised the small fish in his hand, and others gathered around him, their eyes full of envy.
The whole pond was bustling with activity and sounds.intertwined. Some people cheered excitedly for successfully catching the fish, while others exclaimed regretfully because the fish slipped away.
Chen Wanbai is not in a hurry. As the saying goes, fishing in troubled waters is difficult. When everyone muddies the water, the fish will become sluggish due to lack of oxygen, and then it will be much easier to catch fish.
As soon as she stepped into the mud, she immediately felt the cold and delicate touch of the mud surrounding her feet, bringing a touch of coolness in this hot weather.
When she lifted her feet, the mud slightly sucked her feet, making her walk a little slow.
But after taking a few steps, she gradually adapted.
Her eyes were fixed on the movement in the water, and she used a dip net to catch the bream from the water.
Every time she catches a net, she will pour the small fish in the net into the small bamboo basket tied around her waist.
Although the catfish is small, it can still be eaten. At least for her family's current situation, it is still very needed.
In the village, except for poor families like hers, no one else is willing to take advantage of this.

Because the catfish is so small, no one is willing to spend time dissecting the fish. With this skill, you can do a lot of work.
Suddenly, Chen Wanbai felt something swimming by her feet, and she quickly reached out to grab it.
The palm of my hand touched the slippery texture of a fish. The slippery feel was a bit rough, which was different from the delicacy of ordinary fish.
This feeling is probably a black fish!
The scales of the black fish are slightly hard and irritating to the touch, and there is a unique mucus on the surface, making it even more difficult to hold when it is twisted desperately in the hand.
Got it!
There was a burst of joy in her heart.
However, the fish was much more flexible than she imagined, and it slipped out of her hand with a twist, leaving her with a look of regret.
"Hahaha, look at how useless she is. The fish she got was actually able to escape."
Chen Zhizhi stood on the shore, with Chen Dani beside her. Laugh wildly.
"It's really embarrassing. How many girls go fishing in the water? They also bare their arms and legs. They don't know any shame, but they seem to be trying to seduce someone."
Chen Dani curled her lips in disdain, her sarcastic tone full of acrimony.
Their laughter and words attracted the attention of many onlookers, who all cast curious or mocking glances.
"Don't speak too harshly. Didn't you see that Aunt Liu is sick? Why don't Si Ya go and let Aunt Liu go?"
Standing next to them, a man of the same age The little girl in tattered clothes couldn't help but speak.
"I said Chen Taoyue, your mother went down by herself, and she didn't let you four sisters go. You are talking too much here, why don't youGo down for your mother? "Chen Zhizhi raised her nose and looked disdainful towards Chen Taoyue.
Most of the people fishing in the village are men, except for some men who work outside, or there are only old people and children at home.
However, Most of them are women.
After all, it is somewhat inappropriate for young girls to be seen with their arms and legs, especially in this water. Some shameless boys may have evil thoughts. Take advantage and damage the girl's reputation.
However, there is another family in the village like Chen Wanbai's family.
Chen Taoyue's family. Her father died of illness a few years ago, leaving her and three younger sisters at home without a single son.
However, Chen Taoyue’s mother, Li, has a fierce personality.
< p> In addition, her parents-in-law were reasonable. Although Chen Taoyue's uncles divided the family at the strong request, they were not wiped out and were given five acres of land.Although her life was not as good as before. Rich, but still decent.
This Li family has always been tough, never flinching in the face of gossip in the village, and sometimes uses his sharp tongue to give the gossips in the village a blow. < /p>
Therefore, although Chen Taoyue and her sisters were from a poor family, no one in the village dared to bully them easily.
Mrs. Liu was far away and did not hear the taunting words clearly. , and Chen Wanbai was very close, and could hear their jeers clearly.
But she just glanced at Chen Taoyue, then smiled at her, lowered her head and continued to explore in the water, focusing on her fishing. Great cause.
