Huang Yu got up very early the next morning as well. He has the habit of getting up early.

Soon after Huang Yu got up, Huang Zhu also got up.

"Brother, my dad and I went to the small pond to release water and try to catch fish early in the morning." Huang Yu said to him after washing up.

"Well! Then go ahead, cool it with water, put on waterproof clothes, and use a hoe or something like that to open up the cement pipe at the bottom. Don't freeze it."

"I know! This isn't the first time I've done it." Huang Yu left after saying that.

When Huang Xi was washing up, he saw his mother picking vegetables in the kitchen. She must be preparing breakfast.

After washing, he went to the kitchen to say hello to his mother.

Then he walked to the room where Tao Qi and the others slept, listened to the noise inside, and found that Tao Qi and Xu Zhenzhen were chatting quietly.

Knowing that they were awake, Huang Zhu knocked on the door.

"Open the door, it's me!" When knocking on the door, Huang Zhu also said to the inside of the room.

Hearing Huang Zhu's voice, they opened the door.

After entering, he closed the door and locked it.

"Huang Zhu, don't do anything bad to us in the morning, or your family will find out." Seeing Huang Xi locking the door, Tao Qi said to him in a low voice.

"Yes! It doesn't work here!" Xu Zhenzhen also said in a low voice.

They may be afraid that if they speak too loudly, someone outside will hear them.

"What are you thinking! I will definitely not do harm to you. When it's time to do harm, haven't I already done harm to you?

I just came here to hold you and sleep for a few more minutes. Later I will go see my dad and Huang Yu who are fishing in the water."

Huang Zhu also whispered to the two of them.

"That's good. You locked the door just now, which scared me a little!" Tao Qi said again.

Huang Zhu didn't speak any more, took off some of the thick clothes on his face, climbed directly onto the bed and climbed into the middle, hugging them one from the left and the other from the right.

He smelled the quilt and found a faint fragrance.

"Did you sleep well last night?" Huang Zhu asked them.

"It's great! Zhenzhen and I sleep together, and we're not afraid if we have a companion."

"I slept well too!"

"As long as you sleep well! Let's lie down quietly for a while and then get up!"

They lay down for more than ten minutes. Tao Qi told Xu Zhenzhen that they wanted to get up, and then they started to get dressed.

Huang Zhu was faster. It took him less than three minutes to put on all his shoes.

After they were all dressed, Huang Xi opened the locked door.

While Tao Qi and Xu Zhenzhen were washing up, Huang Xiu went to the small pond.

When he arrived, his younger brother Huang Yu was already standing on the field ridge beside the weir and pond in waterproof clothes.

The cement pipe at the bottom of the pond has been opened, and a small whirlpool can be seen from the water surface. The water is already flowing away towards the ditch in the field below.

Fearing that the fish would run away along the cement pipe, they placed a fishing net in the ditch below.

"Dad, how many fry did you put in it this year?" After watching for a while, Huang Zhu asked his father Huang Jiajing.

"I put some in there, not a lot. It's just such a large area and only a little food. If I put in too much, the fish won't grow big."

Anyone who has raised fish knows that the resources in the pond are limited. If you want the fish to grow quickly, you must have something to eat. If you raise a lot of fish, they generally will not grow big because there is not enough food.

In addition, if there are too many fish, many will die.

"No matter how many there are, there will always be some!" the father continued.

They chatted for a while, and then mother prepared breakfast.

When Tao Qi and Xu Zhenzhen came over to call them for breakfast, they also took a look at the water discharge situation in the small pond here.

What we eat in the morning is very simple, just noodles cooked in chicken soup with some bubble greens in the noodles. Each person has an egg.

After breakfast, they all went to the small pond again.

But when we went this time, my father said that he had to sort out the things he brought back yesterday in the morning, so he didn't come over. He just let the two brothers catch fish.

When they went there, they brought along a few buckets, basins, baskets and other things to hold fish and shrimp.

After waiting for about an hour in the small pond, the water was almost full, and occasionally one or two slightly larger fish could be seen jumping out of the water.

In the area blocked by nets below, there are also some fish running out along the cement pipes.

The fish that entered the net weighed almost two or three pounds, and they were of various sizes.

"Brother, the water cannot be discharged from the deeper places inside. We have to use a basin to pour the water out."

"Yes! You can go down and do it now."

Huang Zhu also put on a pair of waterproof clothes at this time, which he borrowed from Yao Shu.

While talking, the two brothers took the shovel and the basin and walked down to the pond.

First, they formed a high circle of soil about one and a half meters away from the small concrete building pipe, and then they began to take turns to use the basin to scoop up water and pour it to the cement pipe.

After half an hour, the bottom of the small pond was bottomed out, and there was basically not much water left.

At this time, you can see some fish at the bottom, some of which are slightly larger and swimming continuously inside, and the backs of the fish are leaking out.

Seeing this situation makes people want to go into the water and catch fish.

When Huang Zhu, Huang Yu and others used basins to carry water, they could catch some large or small fish in each basin.

Seeing that the water was almost empty, he and Huang Yu started to grab the fish inside.

While they were carrying water just now, the second uncle, second aunt, first aunt, and people who lived close to each other in the village came over to watch the fun.

Among these people, there were several children. They were very excited when they saw fish emerging from dried water, and they shouted and shouted from time to time.

"Huang Zhu, there is a big fish swimming not far in front of you. Catch it quickly or it will run away."

When he was grabbing some fish nearby and putting them into the bucket, Tao Qi said to him, looking at her, she seemed to want to come down and catch the big fish.

"Don't worry, it can't run away! You can't step on it now, otherwise some crucian carp will get into the place where you stepped on it, and you won't be able to catch it for a while." Huang Zhu said to her.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

"That's it, let's catch you slowly, you know better than me!" Tao Qi said again.

Huang Zhu took a look at the fish at the bottom of the pond. There were quite a lot of them.

I guess it won’t be a problem to get a weight of 180 pounds.

He and Huang Yu slowly caught the fish inside. There were big fish, small fish and shrimp.

No matter how big or small, they arrested them all.

Sometimes, Huang Yu would use a bamboo grill to poke around in some places and get a lot of small fish, rice and shrimp.

"Xiaoyu, you catch first, there is too much water, I will take some more out." After catching the fish for a while, Huang Zhu said to Huang Yu.

After saying that, he picked up the empty basin and started pouring water into the cement pipe.

He and Huang Yu had experienced catching fish in this way when they were very young, in puddles with accumulated water in ditches.

In the past, when water was released into the rice fields in summer, the reservoir would open to irrigate the fields below.

There were a lot of fish at that time. After the reservoir was closed and the water stopped, you could just find a place with accumulated water in the ditch, block both sides with soil, and use a basin to do this. After the water was drained, you could catch a lot of fish.

After swimming in the water for a while, Huang Zhu continued to catch fish. Many crucian carp would drill into the mud after the water was drained out, but they didn't drill deep. You could touch them by just touching the mud with your hands.

When he and Huang Yu were catching fish, his mother also came over to watch for a while. She took a few larger crucian carp and some small fish and shrimp back, planning to cook them for lunch.

The time it took to release the water was about the same as the time it took to catch fish. Huang Zhu and Huang Yu were catching fish and carrying water. It was not until almost 12 o'clock that they caught almost all the fish in the small pond.

Later, when Huang Yu closed the fishing net in the ditch, he also caught several kilograms of fish and shrimp.

After they were all caught, they were weighed. All the fish and shrimps added up to a total of more than 130 kilograms.

The fish eaten during the Chinese New Year is enough.

After weighing the fish, he and Huang Yu also kept some of the lively looking crucian carp and carp in a large water tank in front of their home.

When the second uncle, second aunt, and first aunt left, his father Huang Jiajing took some fish and put them in convenience bags and handed them to them to take back.

After waiting for about half an hour, lunch was ready.

Huang Zhu took a look at the fish that her mother had brought back. She made a home-cooked crucian carp and a portion of fried fish and shrimp.

Lunch was still the same as yesterday. Her parents were very enthusiastic about Tao Qi and always asked Huang Zhu to help Tao Qi pick up the food.

It can be seen that they are very satisfied with her.

In the afternoon, he and Huang Yu rested for a while and then went to dig lotus roots in a small pond.

In Huang Zhu's memory, he dug lotus roots when he was twelve or thirteen years old. He thought it was fun when he was a child. He never dug lotus roots again after that.
