Slacking off is a technical job, and if you don't have experience, your efficiency will be quite low.
The center of this river is nearly half a meter deep and more than 20 meters long, providing ample space for fish to move around, making it more difficult to catch fish.
If you want to fish efficiently, it is best to get a water pump and pump out the water until it is almost dry before fishing.
Deng Xiang, Duan Shigang and others tried hard to catch a few fish.
On the other hand, Jiang Ning next to him caught one fish after another, which made people secretly smack their lips.
It is no exaggeration to say that 90% of the fish in the bucket were thrown in by Jiang Ning.
Xue Yuantong stepped on her small shoes and ran to the bucket. She saw a dark shadow moving in the bucket and rolling waves. She shouted:
"Jiang Ning, the fish are fighting!"
After hearing this, Jiang Ning thought for a moment. In order to prevent the fish from killing each other and affecting the quality of the fish meat, he used a spell, reached out to the bucket, and calmed down the most ferocious fish.
"It's okay, let them fight." Jiang Ning said.
Because he was fishing, he was closer to the east bank of the river, so he simply came up from this side.
Xue Yuantong stood on the west bank. She waved to Jiang Ning across the six or seven meter wide river:
"Let's move the bucket up quickly."
The slope from the river bank to the wheat fields above is slightly steep.
There was water and fish in the bucket, which was quite heavy. It was not easy for Xue Yuantong to lift it alone. If the bucket spilled halfway through lifting it, all the fish she had worked so hard to catch would fall into the river, and she would be guilty of a great sin.
When it is more important, Xue Yuantong does not try to show off his strength.
Jiang Ning said, "I'll be there right away."
After he got ashore, his feet were on the weeds and his shoes were still on the other side.
Xue Yuantong thought he was going to wade over the boulder, so he waited for him quietly.
As a result, Jiang Ning stepped forward with his left foot, crushing some weeds. He used his left foot as a fulcrum and leveraged the force to step forward. His body flew into the air and he actually crossed the six or seven meter wide river.
Chen Qing'e was about to stop slacking off, but when she suddenly caught a glimpse of this scene, her eyes were filled with surprise.
Jiang Junlong even asked: "Brother Ning, are you so good at long jump?"
Xue Yuantong was stunned. She looked at Jiang Ning, then at the river. The river was so wide, and he actually jumped over it. Just, jumped over it
Xue Yuantong had never thought that she could cross the river in this way. It was beyond her understanding.
Shen Qing'e retracted her gaze from Jiang Ning and said to Jiang Junlong, "He broke our No. 4 Middle School's record for many years in high jump."
In addition to the commotion caused here, Deng Xiang and his friends on the other side were also quite surprised.
Gong Xuan, who had been paying attention to this side, saw it clearly. The scene of Jiang Ning jumping over the river just now was really like flying.
Qiu Die shouted directly: "So handsome, so handsome!"
"One more jump, one more jump for me!"
When she was excited, the big earrings hanging from her ears would swing along like a dancing demon.
Duan Shigang's face turned black on the spot. The girl brought by his brother Gang was cheering for other boys. Where would his brother Gang's face be
All the limelight was taken away by others, and Gang Ge, who was always arrogant, couldn't stand it at all.
He said disdainfully: "It's just jumping into the river, how difficult can it be?"
Qiu Die was in high spirits, but suddenly she heard Duan Shigang say this, which really dampened her mood.
During this journey, she had accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction with Duan Shigang. She thought he was taking her to the park to go boating, but he ended up taking them to the wilderness. If she hadn't been concerned about Deng Xiang's face, she would have vented her dissatisfaction long ago.
Seeing Duan Shigang's expression, Qiu Die shook her red hair and said, "Brother Gang, can you jump over?"
Duan Shigang didn't know if he could do it, but when it came to this, could he not retreat according to reason and emotion
When you're out there in the world, face is important.
Duan Shigang showed a mocking expression: "Your brother Gang has been out working for half a year. It seems that you have forgotten me."
I am no longer in the martial arts world. There is no longer any legend about me in the martial arts world. People have left and the tea has become cold...
Ge Hao, the narrator, had long disliked Jiang Ning: "It was just jumping into the river, and you guys got so excited, you sissy, that's all you know."
Qiu Die was a hot-tempered person, and she said, "Duan Shigang, Ge Hao, you two can jump over it. If you can jump over it, I will treat you two to hot pot tonight!"
She didn't want to add the word "little" at first, but she had no money. The living expenses for a technical secondary school were several hundred yuan a month. She smoked, drank, and took care of her little sister, and she soon became starving.
I can only eat small hot pot.
Xue Yuantong heard the commotion over there and was a little confused: "Are they fighting among themselves?"
She didn't care about others, she just wanted to go home and cook fish with Jiang Ning. The fish caught by hand would definitely taste different.
This time, she was not there to help Jiang Ning while he was fishing.
Duan Shigang and Ge Hao were both ignited by Qiu Die's words.
Deng Xiang and Gong Xuan watched from the sidelines and occasionally added a few words.
"Brother Gang, stop jumping," Gong Xuan advised. She was from No. 4 Middle School and had participated in sports meets herself. She knew that Jiang Ning was able to jump over the river because his jumping ability was at least one in a million.
As for Duan Shigang and the others, Gong Xuan just wanted to laugh.
It would have been fine if she hadn't persuaded him. After she did, Duan Shigang became even angrier, "You look down on Brother Gang, don't you?"
Qiu Die shouted, "Don't persuade him, let him jump, I still want to treat them to a small hot pot!"
Duan Shigang and Ge Hao rushed to the east side of the river in one breath. They stood on the shore and did some warm-up exercises.
Looking at the river that is about six or seven meters wide, although it is so beautiful as I just said, I still feel scared when I actually jump into it.
As for backing off? Impossible. They are young men, not adults. They have to swallow their boasts even if they die.
It was about to jump.
Jiang Junlong in the river raised his hand: "Don't move, I have something to say!"
Duan Shigang looked at Jiang Junlong with a puzzled look: "What's wrong?"
At this time, Jiang Junlong slowly moved towards the river, shouting as he walked: "I'm afraid you'll splash water all over me!"
Before, my cousin Jiang Ning successfully jumped across the river and they were fine. But if these two people jumped into the river, the result might be different.
Jiang Junlong and Chen Qing'e hurriedly went ashore as if seeking refuge. Not only did they go ashore, they also landed on the wheat field, so that they could rest assured.
Duan Shigang looked at Deng Xiang and others on the other side.
Qiu Die: "I have activities at noon. It would be troublesome if my clothes got wet. I'll go ashore first."
Deng Xiang looked at his brother and then at Gong Xuan.
Gong Xuan's expression changed. She hesitated for two seconds and suddenly said confidently:
"Brother Gang, Brother Hao, I believe you can do it. I'll wait for you two at the shore."
Duan Shigang and Ge Hao's mouths twitched, and they shouted together: "Shoko?"
Deng Xiang: “…”
He racked his brains but couldn't come up with a solution, so he finally forced out an ugly smile:
"Brother Gang, Haozi, I'm standing here with you!"
Duan Shigang was very pleased: "Good brother."
He changed his tone and glanced at Jiang Ning, Gong Xuan and others, and his determination became more firm.
Ge Hao was better prepared than him. He searched for the narrowest part of the river and finally found it in the south.
Duan Shigang was leaning to the north, and the two of them, one in the south and one in the north, sandwiched Deng Xiang in the middle.
Deng Xiang felt bitter, but he couldn't say it.
Xue Yuantong lay beside the bucket and watched the fish, while Jiang Junlong and Shen Qing'e looked towards the shore. They were not saints, so how could they miss such a lively scene
After half a minute of preparation, Duan Shigang and Ge Hao were ready to jump.
The river bank was sloped, making it difficult to run, so he used all his strength, kicked his legs hard, and his body immediately flew up.
The young man's figure soared above the river, and was illuminated by the dazzling sunlight, making him shine even more brightly.
Before Duan Shigang jumped, he thought that he would be like a fierce tiger in the jungle, leaping across the river and reaching the other side.
But what really happened was that as soon as he jumped up, his heart sank.
He barely made it halfway across the river before falling into the water, and a huge wave arose.
Similar to him, another large splash of water occurred in the south.
Deng Xiang was standing in the middle and was soaked like a drowned rat.
As for Duan Shigang and Ge Hao, they were soaked by the waves.
Qiu Die: “That’s it?”
She spread out her hands, not hiding her contempt.
Duan Shigang and Ge Hao were so embarrassed that they didn't even dare to look up. It was too humiliating.
After seeing this, Jiang Ning picked up the bucket and turned to leave, saying calmly, "Let's go, it's time to go home."
Xue Yuantong hurriedly followed in small steps.
Jiang Junlong and Chen Qing'e put on their shoes and followed together.
Throughout the whole process, Jiang Ning just carried his bucket and didn't say a single sarcastic word.
However, Gong Xuan sensitively sensed an extremely cold disregard, which was countless times more advanced than contempt, as if he had never taken Duan Shigang and the others seriously from the beginning to the end.
Gong Xuan suddenly got goose bumps. She hugged her arms and had an incredible guess, "Could it be that in his heart, we are no better than a few wild fish?"
"Brother Ning, please put the bucket in front of my car." Jiang Junlong found a rope and secured the bucket.
Duan Shigang and the other two in the river were wringing clothes in silence.
Deng Xiang saw Jiang Ning was about to leave, he looked towards the small puddle by the river, which was filled with the fish they had caught. For now, they had only caught them, and they still had to find a way to take them away.
He stepped a few steps onto the shore and shouted, "Jiang Ning, do you have anything to hold fish? Can you lend it to us?"
Hearing this, Jiang Ning said to his cousin, "Give them two plastic bags."
…
The way back was smooth. Jiang Junlong was concerned about the fish in the bucket, so he didn't speed up, but he still got home in about 20 minutes.
Jiang Ning pushed open the gate and said, "Stay here for lunch."
Jiang Junlong carried the bucket into the yard, his face full of joy: "Of course, I finally caught the fish, I will definitely try it."
Shen Qing'e asked suddenly: "Can you cook?"
It was Xue Yuantong's turn to come on stage. She brought out a large basin and said as a matter of course, "Leave all these fish to me!"
Jiang Ning picked up the bucket and poured the water into the large basin. Suddenly, with a splashing sound, the large basin was filled with various fishes flapping and swimming, which made people feel very happy at first sight.
Jiang Ning mobilized his spiritual power and silently passed over the fish, purifying the hard-to-remove impurities inside it.
Afterwards, he took the 'cut fish' out of the big basin and put it in another small basin.
Xue Yuantong looked at the fish and thought, "Eight in total, just right for stewing eggplant."
"There are still three black fish. Um... Jiang Ning, didn't you bring back two tomatoes? Use them to make tomato black fish fillets!"
She looked at the grass carp and crucian carp in the basin again: "Let's braise these, but it seems like there are too many. What should I do, Jiang Ning?"
These two types of fish are caught the most. If you stew them all, it will probably be a very big pot.
Seeing her worried look, Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Give some to the neighbors. They should like wild fish."
Heba is a bungalow, unlike the residential buildings in the city. Heba still retains the living habits of rural people. People often chat at the door and are familiar with each other. The neighbors are very friendly.
Xue Yuantong thought this was a good idea. She put some fish in a basin and sent it to the next door.
After a while, Xue Yuantong came back. The basin in her hand was gone, but there was a plate with a big chicken leg on it, with a lot of meat on it.
She smiled and said, "Xiao Fan's family killed a big rooster today. They gave this to me!"
Jiang Ning: “Very good.”
He also didn't expect that he could exchange the extra wild fish for chicken legs.
He used his spiritual sense to scan and found that the big rooster that used to crow next door was missing. It seemed that the chicken leg must belong to that rooster. How pitiful.
Xue Yuantong pointed at the fresh chicken and said, "Use this to make spicy chicken. I guarantee you will have an unforgettable aftertaste!"
After working hard together, she gradually relaxed a little and was no longer as reserved as she was in the morning.
There was a large basin of wild fish, and most of them were handled by Xue Yuantong, while Jiang Ning was responsible for cutting the fish to prevent her from cutting her fingers.
Jiang Junlong stood there staring blankly. He knew nothing about anything related to the kitchen.
Shen Qing'e couldn't be much better than him, and could only watch Xue Yuantong busy himself.
When it came to cooking, Shen Qing'e was even less able to help. Two earthen stoves were used in the kitchen, and Jiang Ning helped to light the fire. At the same time, he used spiritual power to cool down the kitchen, otherwise Xue Yuantong would definitely be very hot.
Jiang Junlong was playing with his mobile phone at the door. He was responsible for reporting the situation to his mother and sending pictures to his classmates to show off. He was slacking off. How glorious.
Chen Qing'e also stayed at the door. There was a small table at the door with some snacks on it. She didn't eat, but looked at the fields in the distance.
She smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen, it smelled so good...
Shen Qing'e recalled the meals her mother cooked when she was a child, they were just as delicious.
Since moving into her sister's house, she hasn't returned to the countryside for a long time. The last time she went home was during the Chinese New Year.
Unfortunately, my parents only stayed at home for more than ten days and continued to work outside.
Shen Qing'e's family situation is similar to that of Jiang Ning's family, but she is not the naive Jiang Ning. She thinks long-term. She wants to live a better life and escape from the hardship of the countryside.
To this end, she made up her mind to do many things. For example, at the beginning of her first year of high school, she pretended not to know Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning helped her a lot in junior high school. In a chaotic place like the town middle school, Shen Qing'e was pretty and it was inevitable that she would suffer some bad things.
For example, the disturbance caused by gangsters, or the jealousy of female gangsters in the class, and so on.
At that time, Jiang Ning had a cousin who opened a barbecue restaurant outside of school. He was quite popular, so Jiang Ning was rarely bullied. Shen Qing'e played with Jiang Ning, so she naturally avoided those experiences.
They had a close relationship. At least Shen Qing'e had never disliked Jiang Ning and was willing to play with him, eat with him, and do homework with him.
As for liking
She couldn't explain it, maybe it was just a habit.
But after arriving at No. 4 Middle School, faced with Jiang Ning's estrangement, she resolutely broke off her friendship with Jiang Ning completely, because in her heart, Jiang Ning belonged to the "old" existence.
If you want to become a brand new person, you must separate yourself from the old things.
She succeeded.
But now, I feel a little regretful.
Because she clearly felt a sense of distance, it seemed that she and Jiang Ning could never go back.
Shen Qing'e thought more and more deeply, until Xue Yuantong brought the plate to the table. It was tomato black fish fillet. The soup was an attractive red color, and the slices of fish were half hidden and half visible. The tomatoes were like flames burning in the water, and an incomparable fragrance wafted out, which smelled extremely good.
If it weren't for her upbringing, Shen Qing'e would even want to try it.
Dishes were served one by one, including fish stewed with eggplant, braised grass carp/crucian carp, and spicy chicken.
Finally, serve it with fragrant rice and cooling mung bean soup to complete a hearty lunch.
Xue Yuantong clapped her hands, and she said regretfully, "It would have been better if you had brought some rice, Jiang Ning."
She missed the rice that Jiang Ning had given her before.
Jiang Ning picked up the quick piece: "Let's eat."
Jiang Junlong and Chen Qing'e had been wanting to eat for a long time, so when they heard his words, they immediately started eating.
The two of them both had their eyes on the dish of black fish fillet with tomatoes.
Shen Qing'e picked up a piece of fish and took a bite.
The taste and flavor were almost excellent to the extreme. When she swallowed the fish and looked at Xue Yuantong again, she couldn't help but feel deep admiration and shame:
'Why is her cooking so delicious?'
