Lu Zheng'an turned around and saw Li Erwang squatting on the field ridge holding a face in his hands, looking at him with bent eyes and laughing. "Brother An can't catch fish like this."

Li Erwang saw Lu Zheng'an frowning and seemed a little unhappy. He immediately stood up, patted the dust on his pants, and followed Lu Zheng'an's example in taking off his shoes and socks. He walked quickly five meters away and then descended down the river slope into the water.

Lu Zhengan saw him hunched over, digging a lot of river mud from the bottom of the river and blocking it up. He didn't understand what he was going to do. Only when more and more river mud blocked the flow of water did Lu Zhengan understand Li Erwang's intention.

"Brother An, throw the basket over and you start from there."

Li Erwang washed the mud off his hands, stood up and waved to Lu Zhengan.

Lu Zheng'an understood, shook the water on the bamboo basket and threw the bamboo basket in front of Li Erwang. When the other party was ready, he picked up a corn stalk from the river ditch and muddied the water with the corn stalk as he walked forward.

Maybe this trick worked, and after a while, the water surface started to become visibly lively. Seeing this, Lu Zheng'an couldn't help but get a little excited. While walking forward slowly, his eyes would occasionally glance at the bamboo basket in Li Erwang's hand.

Lu Zheng'an and Li Erwang were only a few meters apart, and they reached the end in a few breaths. He noticed that the bamboo basket in his hands began to become heavy, and Li Erwang immediately lifted the bamboo basket.

As the water in the bamboo basket flows out, dozens of small fish as thick as a thumb are swimming and jumping in the bamboo basket. Lu Zheng'an didn't expect that the harvest would be so rich this time, and he couldn't help laughing for a while.

Seeing Lu Zheng'an smiling, Li Erwang was even more proud as he held the bamboo basket.

"I may not be as good as you at work, but no one is better than me at catching fish and growing trees."

After finishing speaking, Li Erwang looked down at the fish in the bamboo basket and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that there were so many fish in this small river ditch. If I catch them a few more times, I guess they can weigh more than ten kilograms. Don't say that. If you drink fish soup, you can make a lot of money even if you sell it in the town."

Having said this, Li Erwang couldn't help but become more active. He glanced at Lu Zheng'an, who said nothing, and continued: "Brother An, can you wait for me here for a while, I will go home and get some tools."

Although Lu Zhengan is an adult, he still has a strong interest in fishing and catching birds. Besides, being idle at home was boring. Lu Zhengan nodded after hearing what Li Erwang said.

About a quarter of an hour later, Li Erwang ran over carrying a barrel and a fishing net. Seeing Lu Zheng'an still sitting by the ditch waiting for him, Li Erwang smiled, took off his shoes and entered the water again.

Xiaohegou may seem unremarkable, but Lu Zhengan and Li Erwang gained a lot after working hard all afternoon.

Looking at the full barrels, Lu Zhengan, who originally just wanted to catch a few to satisfy his craving, suddenly became a little worried.

Although his family has enough food, they are not rich. This kind of small fish is most delicious when fried. I caught so many at once that I really didn't know what to do with it.

Li Erwang is very happy. His family's conditions are not bad, but they cannot support the large population. In addition, his sister-in-law is still a quiet person. I don't know whether bringing so many fish home will improve her life, but it is definitely a pimple.
