The morning light showed slightly, and Lu Shege was still sleeping soundly.

Lu Xiaoli crawled over Lu Xiaoyu's body, soaked a cold and wet handkerchief and wiped it on Lu Xiangge's face: "Still sleeping, dad is waiting for you to pick up the eel cage."

Xiaosi likes to sleep in, and it's difficult to wake him up by barking.

Even if she is woken up, she will try every means to stay in bed.

No, Lu Xiaoli thought of a way to wipe her face with a wet handkerchief early in the morning. No matter how sleepy she felt, she would probably be gone when the cold handkerchief aroused her.

"Second sister..."

Lu Sheige pushed Lu Xiaoli away and sat up angrily.

This day is really unbearable.

Get up earlier than a chicken and go to bed earlier!

Think back to the beginning...

Forget it, don’t think about it anymore, there is no place like before, now is the era of eating one meal and worrying about the next!

"Hurry up, dad is waiting." Lu Xiaoli took back the handkerchief and turned to see Xiaosi sitting cross-legged, looking depressed and angry.

How could there be such lazy people who don't want to think about it every morning and don't want to sleep at night?

Lu Sheige also couldn't understand why people today are so poor and still have to get up early.

Not to mention someone who gets up early to fish, cook, and comfort the children. Children of his age are not allowed to sleep in late at home.

Even if you get up and play with the mud on the beach, no one will care about you.

But if you sleep in, it just won’t work.

It was even worse at night. I had an early dinner and then went to bed.

If you can't sleep, you won't be allowed to light a lamp because it wastes lamp oil!

"Xiaosi, are you up?"

Mrs. Qiu lifted the curtain between the front and rear cabins and poked her head in: "Get up quickly, your father is waiting for you to pick up the eel cage."

"My dad?"

Lu Sheige finally came to his senses: "Don't you go to the dock, dad?"

"Your father said..."

Qiu took two steps closer and lowered his voice: "Your father said that he will go with you to see if we can really catch long fish. After finishing the eel cage, he will go to the dock when he has time. If he can really

When we go down to Changyu, your father won’t go to the pier, and is going to make a few more eel traps and go down to a few more places.”

If you can catch long fish, you can make more money than going to the dock to carry bags.

The disadvantage of living on a boat is that there is no privacy. As long as you make a little louder noise, the two boats next door can really hear it.

Because there were three girls from the family living in the cabin, plus the tomboy Lu Xiangge. Although there was no privacy at all, Lu Quan would never just lift the curtain and come in.

This made Lu Sheige feel very comfortable.

Life on the ship was hard and there were few taboos.

Two or three generations of a family live in one cabin. Those with a small population are fine, but those with a large population have to sleep next to each other.

The disadvantage of mixed gender living is that no one has any sense of boundaries.

When the weather gets hot, children under the age of seven or eight, regardless of gender, are everywhere taking a bath and swimming with their naked bodies in the water.

If the conditions are better, girls can still wear small clothes and pants, but if the conditions are poor, they really can't care about this.

Boys, on the other hand, almost uniformly don’t need to wear clothes all summer and get a shiny tan.

When Lu Xiangge got dressed and combed his hair and came out, Lu Quan was already waiting at the bow of the boat with a wooden bucket.

"Dad, wait a minute, I'll brush my teeth."

Lu Sheige pinched a pinch of ground green salt and squatted on the side of the boat to brush his teeth. Lu Xiaoli glanced at Lu Sheige who was brushing his teeth, and then at his father who was waiting with a bucket, and couldn't help but snorted softly.

Just pamper him, it's better to pamper him like a prodigal.

Only Lu Sheige in the Lu family had a toothbrush. Because she was not used to using Willow Branch, Lu Quan went to town to buy a toothbrush for her. It cost him fifteen cents and made Lu Xiaoli feel so distressed that he didn't want to talk to Lu Xiaosi for several days.

After Lu Sheige brushed her teeth and washed her face, Lu Xiaoqing stuffed her with two vegetable dumplings.

This vegetable dumpling is not big, one bite is big enough for your mouth.

It is made by boiling the purslane dug yesterday and kneading it together with brown rice and wild beans. Everyone has one, except Lu Sheige and Lu Quan.

Lu Sheige took a bite of the wild vegetable dumpling and gave the other to Lu Quan: "Dad, I can't eat it."

She really couldn't eat, not because she wasn't hungry, but mainly because the purpose of these wild vegetable dumplings was to fill her stomach, and the taste was simply indescribable.

Lu Quan knew that Xiaosi had a delicate mouth, and it was already very difficult for him to eat coarse grains with them.

However, his family was too poor, and even if he wanted to do something good for his children alone, he was really unable to do so.

Every now and then, the family would buy some refined grains for Xiaosi to change her mouth.

It's just that this kid is too down-to-earth. If he wants to eat, everyone will eat together, and he is determined not to eat Xiaozao alone.

Lu Quan pinched the wild vegetable dumpling in his hand, his ears turning slightly red: "If you catch a long fish and sell it later for money, dad will buy you sesame cakes to eat."

This is probably the most unconfident thing Lu Quan has ever said in his life.

Lu Xiangge nodded while choking on the rice ball: "Okay."

"Dad, here."

From the moment Lu Quan, under the command of Lu Xiangge, took out the first eel cage, Lu Quan's hands kept shaking, shaking so hard that he had to grind hard on the water plants twice before he could barely suppress the joy in his heart.

.

The first horn cage contained four long fishes, the thinnest of which was thicker than his thumb.

Looking at most of the long fish in the barrel, Lu Quan swallowed again.

The thirst in his throat seemed to be smoking, but he was not thirsty at all.

No wonder Xiao Si asked him to carry an extra bucket when he came in the morning. If he kept it like this, one wooden bucket would definitely not be enough.

Thinking of carrying two buckets full of long fish back, Lu Quan felt a little dizzy.

Is this long fish so easy to catch?

Just put this bamboo cage into the ditch at night and collect it in the morning, right?

"It's not that easy."

Lu Sheige's voice sounded, and Lu Quan realized that he had unconsciously said what he wanted to ask.

"There are actually some things to pay attention to when placing this eel cage. It is spring now, the climate is pleasant, and the water temperature is also suitable, so just place the eel cage where aquatic plants sprout. In summer, the temperature is high and the weather is hot, so it should be placed in a cool place with food.

The place to look for it. In autumn, when the water level drops, the long fish also have to spend the winter, so they are placed in a place with lush aquatic plants."

"Long fish don't like running water. They rarely appear in places where the current is too strong. They should not be placed in places with waves. To avoid the wind, put them on the south slope when the south wind blows, and on the north slope when the north wind blows. For ponds with deep water,

Place the eel cage in shallow water with aquatic plants. If it is a shallow river beach, place the eel cage in deep water with lush aquatic plants..."

Lu Quan opened his mouth slightly and looked at Xiaosi's little mouth, which made him feel dizzy.

He seemed to only notice one question: "What about winter?"

When the river freezes in winter, fishing boats like theirs are basically unable to fish in the river. If...

Lu Xiuge shattered his fantasy with one sentence: "In winter, all the long fish hibernate and will not come out."

However, you can also find long fish holes to dig.

However, this Lu Sheige couldn't tell. She was afraid of the cold and hardship, and she was also afraid of digging out a snake after half a day of digging.

"oh."

Lu Quan wiped his face and said, "Dad doesn't remember clearly. You can discuss the details with me later."

He didn't expect that there were so many ways to catch a long fish.

"Okay."
