Chapter 153: Chapter 153 The Joy of Net Fishing

"Nianhua, these chili peppers haven’t sold yet, and you’re already thinking about fish chili sauce?" Ji Ying felt helpless about her daughter’s idea. They needed to sell the chili sauce to make money; if it didn’t sell and just sat there, they would be at a big loss.

Now they wanted to make fish chili sauce, isn’t that a bit risky?

As soon as Ji Ying voiced her worries, Xu Nianhua replied, "Mom, that’s the point, to have a comparison. This would give people a choice. Besides, I remember there’s a reservoir not far from Shuangzhu Village that’s teeming with fish. I heard you just have to pay a little to go net fishing."

"It’s practically a giveaway," Xu Nianhua added.

Ji Ying: "..."

The river is so deep; netting fish is not that easy, right?

On the weekend, with no afternoon classes, Xu Nianhua and her companions headed to the reservoir.

Pei Yicheng found a boat and got a big sticky net; they went off to the reservoir with great enthusiasm. Originally, Ling Dong didn’t agree with Pei Yicheng’s participation.

But he couldn’t withstand Pei Yicheng’s determination to go.

"Brother Cheng, you can’t get on the boat. If not, just stay here and fish. I brought fishing rods and bait," Ling Dong thought. Since Brother Cheng was going to be on the shore, he couldn’t possibly do nothing, so he had prepared all these things early.

"Not bad," Pei Yicheng praised, "You’re becoming more and more attentive."

Ling Dong chuckled with a ’heh heh’ laugh.

"Big brother Pei, let me keep you company here fishing." Xu Nianhua looked at the reservoir waters; the wind rippled across it, creating a sparkling scene that was exceptionally beautiful. However, the idea of actually sitting in a boat to net fish was something Xu Nianhua felt she couldn’t do.

Just coming back to it, she had an uncomfortable experience of choking on water, and because of that, she subconsciously felt afraid of water.

"Little sister, you just take good care of Pei Yicheng here, and be careful not to go near the edge, watch out for falling into the water," Xu Nian’an reiterated with concern.

Even Xu Nianji gave a stern reminder, "If something happens, just shout for us."

"Big brother, second brother, I’m not a child anymore," Xu Nianhua replied, feeling sweetness in her heart from her brothers’ concern. She said, "You guys be careful too, no matter how many fish we net, it’s all profit, just do your best."

"Nianji and I can swim, so you don’t have to worry," Xu Nianji said with a smile. Since getting married, his face always bore a happy smile, and with the daily sales of bean sprouts, their family made money every day – naturally, he was happy.

Ling Dong stood to one side, glanced at Pei Yicheng, then at Xu Nianhua who stayed behind, and he finally understood why Brother Cheng, despite his inability to move freely, insisted on coming for the net fishing!

It was well known that previously, Brother Cheng would never leave the house if he could stay in and read books!

Even for the monthly trips to the hospital for checkups, Ling Dong had to remind him over and over. But recently, Brother Cheng was exceptionally active in going for his check-ups.

Ling Dong, Xu Nianji, and Xu Nian’an, the three of them set off in a small boat.

Net fishing wasn’t Ling Dong’s strong suit, and the brothers Xu Nianji and Xu Nian’an didn’t really know how to do it either. The three of them were like ducks being herded onto a perch, clumsily spreading the sticky net in the water and dragging it behind them as they paddled.

"We need to herd the fish, drive them into the net to catch them," Xu Nian’an suddenly spoke up, thinking about what would happen if they dragged the net back empty.

"Shall we give it a try?" Without experience, the three of them randomly slapped the water, which amused Xu Nianhua watching from the shore.

"Big brother and second brother have never used a sticky net to catch fish before, I wonder if they’ll be able to net any," Xu Nianhua stood on tiptoe, peering out in anticipation.
