1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"Dad, dad, hurry up and catch the little fish, or they will run away."

Doudou shouted impatiently as soon as he got off the car after returning home.

"Don't be too anxious, put on your car and let's go for a stroll." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Yeah. Dad, how many little fish can we catch? Enough for fried sauce?" Doudou asked curiously.

"Of course we can catch a lot, Dad put a lot of good things in it, and the little fish have to get in to eat." Chen Tiezhu said proudly.

Doudou was very happy and quickly put the car on the Andahan.

Lu Dan was very envious of Doudou's car, but she had no choice but to be envious.

"Doudou, what are you going to do now?"

Looking at the little guy driving the Andahan and pulling the bucket out, the villagers asked curiously.

"Doudou, go catch some small fish and fry them in sauce. They are delicious." The little guy said happily.

"This guy is delicious. It tastes good when dipped in pickles."

"Doudou, you have to eat more. Eat more and grow up."

"Doudou, drive slower. There are potholes on the road. It's bumpy."

...

The rest of the villagers also talked about it, all of them caring about the little guy.

"How is it, my eldest daughter is good enough, right?" Chen Tiezhu asked proudly.

"Definitely better than you." Lu Dan said.

"I was planning to catch a bigger black fish these two days, and then boil the whole fish. It seems that you are not satisfied." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Hehe, how can it be, Master is the best. I haven't rested for such a long time, I have to reward her well." Lu Dan said hurriedly.

"What does that have to do with me? I'm not your girlfriend. How can I know where to catch black fish? I know what you want to eat?" Chen Tiezhu said lightly.

Zhou Fengxia felt a headache when she heard it.

Sure enough, Lu Dan's eyes were already looking over.

"Don't worry, as long as there is something delicious, I will definitely drive to you. It will be just right when we eat it, not too hot." Zhou Fengxia promised.

"Hehe, that's about right." Lu Dan looked at him approvingly, and then jumped to the front again to chat with Doudou.

They came to the riverside in a leisurely manner. Chen Tiezhu didn't need to look at it. Little Doudou had already brought her team to the place where the cage was set.

"Dad, how do we put the cage together?"

Doudou jumped off his car, squatted on the side and looked at it for a while, and asked with a bitter face.

"Isn't there a rope left on the side? It can be pulled up with one pull." Chen Tiezhu said.

Doudou blinked his big eyes, and pulled the rope up with his little hands. After using some strength, he found that he couldn't pull it up.

But for the little guy, there is a way.

He turned his little body, put the rope on his shoulder, and walked forward with his little waist bent like pulling a rope.

Dahei was not a dog who watched the fun. He bit the rope behind the little guy and worked hard together.

"Oh my God, Dahei can do such a job?" Zhou Fengxia asked in surprise.

"That's a must. At present, Dahei is the best behaved in my family. I will give him a piece of meat in the evening." Chen Tiezhu said happily.

"Really, you only know how to bully Doudou. Doudou, sister is here to help you, hahahaha..."

Lu Dan muttered, and then ran over happily.

"Don't watch the fun, just be a setter. I made this cage a bit long." Chen Tiezhu said.

Zhou Fengxia didn't take it seriously. How much longer could it be?

Then he also came over and stood on the shore to help.

"Wow, there are so many small fish in here, so many of them."

The cage emerged from the water, and the small fish inside began to move, which made Zhou Fengxia very happy.

"I guess it's enough for a few meals." Chen Tiezhu said casually.

"That should be about the same, at least four or five..."

Zhou Fengxia couldn't say the word "jin" after that, because he found that there were more small fish below, and it felt like he couldn't see the bottom.

After he helped to lift the cage out, he realized how long the cage was. It must be at least 1.8 meters long, if not two meters, and he couldn't lift it, so he had to drag it to the shore carefully.

After all, it was a cage made of a window, and there were still a lot of small fish and shrimps inside, and the cage might be broken if he was not careful.

"Brother Chen, what are you doing? Why is it so long? What did you put in it? Why are there so many small fish and shrimps?" Zhou Fengxia asked in confusion.

"I'm afraid if it's too small, there won't be much to eat." Chen Tiezhu touched thenose.

"There are two big steamed buns in it, there must be about 60 to 70 kilograms of it, and there are crucian carp shells, which I have to pick up when I get home. It's not bad, thanks to the good water in this river."

He was really moved. If it were put in the future, there would definitely not be so many small fish and shrimps. How many can there be in the whole river?

But now, there is no problem, this is all routine operation.

"Ah..., Master, there is a big black fish in it. Hahahaha, great."

At this time, Lu Dan shouted.

Chen Tiezhu and Zhou Fengxia hurried over.

It's not that, under the net bag, where the small fish and shrimps are covered, a black fish stick's head squeezed out, and several small fish were swallowed in its mouth.

"This is also in line with the saying, the land of gentleness is the tomb of heroes." Chen Tiezhu sighed.

"Why?" Lu Dan asked curiously.

"It must have gotten in by accident, and then found that the food and drink here are good, so it decided to stay for a long time." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"Otherwise, with such a loose cage, how could it withstand its harm? It must have been scrapped long ago, and don't expect to eat small fish."

The two thought about it, and it seemed to be the case. It can only be said that this black fish was too confused and buried its own life without knowing it.

"Xiao Zhou, you must be careful in the future." Chen Tiezhu said seriously.

"Huh?"

Zhou Fengxia was stunned for a moment, and looked at Lu Dan with a guilty look.

"Don't hold our Dandan back in the future. This is the embryo of a famous doctor." Chen Tiezhu continued.

"That must be done, absolutely not." Zhou Fengxia promised hurriedly.

He was also very worried.

Chen Tiezhu said that there were hooks inside, and it was really hard to guard against. He must remain vigilant enough.

The joke was over. The two buckets were almost full, and there was still some left in the cage. The main reason was that the black carp was too naughty and always made trouble.

Doudou's mouth was so happy that he couldn't close it. Today he really came back with a full load.

Before we even got home, the little guy's mouth was already filled with the aroma of fried crucian carp and small fish sauce. It was delicious.
