Era: Started from raising livestock in the mountains

The night was deep, the stars were dense, the sky was gradually white, the morning breeze was gentle, the small courtyard was full of greenery, and the water was gurgling.

When the dew dissipated, Lin Heng and Xiulan put on their clothes and exercised in the morning light. The more they practiced, the more graceful their movements became, and the more coordinated their bodies became.

After the exercise, a layer of fine sweat beads appeared on the foreheads of the two people. Xiulan fetched water to wash her face, and Lin Heng looked at the fish and flowers in the lotus pond.

The koi had grown a lot, playing and playing under the lotus flowers and leaves. Sometimes the wind blew down a lotus flower, which would attract the fish to scramble and chase. It was quite interesting to sit in the pavilion and watch.

"Wash your face." Xiulan shouted to him after washing.

"I'm here."

Lin Heng nodded and walked over to wash his face and brush his teeth.

At this time, Xiulan took a bench and went to pick grapes under the grape rack. The giant peaks and red grapes under the bird-proof net had changed color.

She found a bunch of the reddest grapes, picked the one at the bottom and tasted it.

"So sweet, the grapes are ripe." Xiulan shouted to Lin Heng, a strand of hair hanging from her left ear swaying in the wind, adding a touch of softness.

After brushing his teeth, Lin Heng came over and said, "Let's pick some. I guess the black plums, peaches, apples and pears on the back mountain are also ripe."

"It's not easy for me to pick them like this, you come." Xiulan fed him a grape and said.

"Then you sit on my neck to pick them. I'm too lazy to go to the house to get a ladder."

Lin Heng ate the grapes and bent down.

Xiulan smiled and sat astride his shoulders, her legs clamped around his neck, and when he stood up, she could reach the grapes at will.

Her shoulders were now higher than the grape rack. She found the reddest grapes and red grapes, opened the net and picked them one by one and put them in the basket.

"That's enough, let's pick the rest next time." Xiulan said after picking them, and Lin Heng supported her legs and put her steadily on the ground.

Xiulan showed him: "This grape is really good, a bunch can weigh three or four pounds."

Lin Heng said while eating: "This year you can eat as much fruit as you want, there are many fruit trees in the back mountain."

Putting down the grapes, they took the feed and milk bucket to the back mountain. After feeding the chickens, the two entered the orchard surrounded by the net to check.

As early as the beginning of this month, they surrounded the orchard with bird-proof nets. There were grapes and various fruit trees inside.

After taking a bite of the black peach, Lin Heng was stunned at first, then handed it to Xiulan and said: "It's quite sweet, you try it."

"Sweet, you, I didn't notice your chin twitching." Xiulan glared at him fiercely and slapped him.

Lin Heng laughed: "Really."

But Xiulan ignored him at all, walked over and picked a red peach, peeled it and took a bite.

"This is delicious, and it's ripe. Although it's not big, it's very fragrant." Xiulan said while handing it to Lin Heng.

Lin Heng thought he would be teased, but he found it was really sweet after tasting it. Although it was only the size of a fist, it tasted really good.

Then the two tasted apples and pears. Only the apples were still a little astringent, while the pears were completely edible.

The green-skinned pears without bags tasted very good except that the skin was a little thicker.

After picking some fruits, they went to milk the cows.

After returning home, Lin Heng went to wake Xiaoxia up. In the morning, she didn't want to get up, so he didn't force her.

At this time, he heard that there was something delicious, so he got up by himself.

Lin Heng carried his two sons to the crib in the living room. After breakfast, Xiulan fed the children complementary food. Lin Heng took fruits and milk to his parents and took a look at the situation over there.

At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Heng went to dig earthworms. Xiulan fed the children again and handed them over to Caiyun to take care of.

The two took the chicken intestines and frogs that had been left outside yesterday and had already rotted, took the fishing rods, called his eldest brother and father, and the four of them got in the car and set off to go fishing.

It is difficult to catch big fish in shallow places, so the four of them discussed and decided to find a place in the town.

After searching along the river, they chose a backwater bay where the sun was no longer shining.

When they arrived at the place, Lin Yue spoke first: "My dad and I will set up the ground hook first, and you and Xiulan will go fishing first."

He went to the field to catch a lot of frogs today, ate the meat, and kept the liver to use the ground hook to catch turtles and catfish.

"Okay." Lin Heng and Xiulan first determined the location. There were two or three centimeters of green grass nearby, and the environment was very beautiful.

They determined a location, tied the fishing line with earthworms, and threw it into the water.

The purple bamboo fishing rods they brought were shorter, and the longest was only three meters long. The water here was more than four meters, so they had no choice but to choose short rods and long lines for fun.

There was no need for a seven-star float, just look at the tip of the fishing rod and fish with a dull rod.

Lin Heng put bait on all four fishing rods and threw them in, then threw the chicken entrails and frogs that he had prepared last night, which were already smelly today, into the water to make a nest.

This thing is very attractive to catfish.

In order to keep the fish well, he put it in a small net bag and added a few stones to make a nest, so that the fish can smell it but can't eat it, which is more conducive to their fishing.

"Hey, I caught a fish!"

After Lin Heng finished making the nest and was looking for a stone to use as a seat, Xiulan exclaimed.

He turned his head and saw that she had pulled up a yellow thorn bone.

"Come and get me the fish!" Xiulan shouted happily at him.

"Here it comes."

Lin Heng moved the stone and put it down beside him, and took the towel to catch the fish and took out the hook.

"Three taels, very good." Lin Heng said with a smile.

Yellow thornfish love earthworms like their life. As long as there are earthworms, they will hardly hesitate and bite the hook fiercely with their back teeth.

These three taels are very good. They feel good when fishing and taste good.

As Xiulan caught the fish, the other rods also shook one after another after a while.

The two picked them up one by one. As expected, they were all yellow thornfish. Only this kind of fish would be hooked so quickly.

"Oh, I'm lucky today. I've caught a fish of two kilograms in just half an hour."

Xiulan was surprised when she looked at the yellow thornfish in the fish guard.

"It seems that we are lucky and have poked the nest of yellow thornfish." Lin Heng smiled.

The two had no time to play. They stared at the rods. Basically, one fishing rod would move every five minutes.

"Hey, I caught a big crucian carp all day. Come here!"

After a while, Xiulan exclaimed again and brought a big crucian carp to the shore.

"Awesome!"

Lin Heng was a little impressed. This big crucian carp weighed more than one pound.

The two of them were so happy to catch fish one after another.

"Fishing is so fun!" Xiulan was getting happier and happier.

"I hope I can catch a big fish today." Lin Heng said with a smile. He didn't care about small fish anymore.

Half an hour later, the two of them could finally sit down and take a good look at the scenery. It seemed that the yellow thorn bones here were all caught and not caught much.

But they had completed the minimum task today and caught three or four pounds of fish. But it is rare to catch nothing in this era.

"How much did you catch?" Father Lin asked after he put down the ground hook.

"Enough for two meals." Lin Heng smiled and lifted the fish guard. Suddenly, the sound of splashing water was heard.

Father Lin was stunned: "You have caught a lot."

"It seems that fishing is good today." Lin Yue was also very surprised.

"There are no yellow thorns now, and the bite is not very good." Lin Heng explained that they were using hooks of size 7 or 8, and small fish could not be caught.

"Catfish may be easy to catch now." Lin Yue said, and came over to change his hook to a frog liver.

Father Lin also changed his bait. However, a strange thing happened. After they came, the bite disappeared, and the only few bites with slight shaking did not catch fish.

"I still don't believe it. I can't catch a fish today!" Father Lin said angrily.

"Dad, you can catch yellow thorns by putting earthworms in another place." Lin Heng said with a smile.

Yellow thorns have a sense of territory. It is the best way to change a place after catching two.

He and Xiulan both wanted to guard the big catfish, so they didn't change the place.

"Then I'll try." Father Lin thought about it and took the fishing rod to a shallower place upstream.

"It's caught!"

After a while, he exclaimed, ran down and took a bucket to catch yellow thorns.

Lin Heng and the other two continued to hold on. As the sky gradually darkened, half of the sky was red and mosquitoes began to appear.

However, they were all wearing long sleeves and long pants when they came, so they were not particularly afraid of mosquitoes.

Unable to catch any fish, Xiulan was bored pulling grass leaves, and Lin Heng was staring at the green mountains in a daze.

In a blink of an eye, it was already 8:10. The sun had already set, but it was not dark yet.

At this time, Lin Yue suddenly rushed out and pulled up the fishing rod. A small catfish weighing half a catty was pulled up by him.

"Damn, that's it. I thought it was a big fish. I was excited for nothing."

Lin Yue was speechless.

"That's better than us. We haven't had a bite so far." Lin Heng smiled and spread his hands.

"It seems that there is not much hope today. I should go fishing for yellow thorns with my dad." Lin Yue shook his head.

After throwing away the small catfish, he went to check the ground hook, but found nothing.

It was already nine o'clock soon. The river was a little too cool. Xiulan grabbed Lin Heng's hand and played with it, leaning on his shoulder a little bored.

"Let's go. There's no hope today. It's completely dark and there's still no bite."

Lin Heng looked at his watch and said to everyone.

"Let's go. Let's get up early tomorrow and come back." Lin Yue didn't want to fish anymore.

"Okay, leave the things here. Let's get up early tomorrow and come back." Lin's father also came down and said.

After discussing, they put the fish in the bucket and threw the fishing rod in the grass by the river.

Before leaving, Lin Heng put three pounds of fresh corn in and made a nest for the night to fight again tomorrow morning.

Driving back to the village, Lin Yue was unwilling to call his father to take a flashlight to catch fish in the river.

Lin Heng and Xiulan went home. The two gave the living yellow thorn bones to the eldest sister-in-law, killed the dead yellow thorn bones and stewed them in soup, and made some other meals, waiting for their father to come back.

"We didn't do well today. We didn't catch eels and turtles in the river." Lin's father was very disappointed when he came back.

"Fang Xin, Dad, we will definitely catch big fish tomorrow morning." Lin Heng patted his father on the shoulder and said.

"I hope so!" Father Lin shook his head and sat down, saying, "Let's eat."

After they finished eating, Mother Lin came back. She and Liu Juan had been catching scorpions for a long time, and now they can catch two or three taels a night.

The next morning, a little after five o'clock, when the sky was just turning light, Father Lin's call came from outside the gate.

"Oh my God, Dad is too active." Xiulan opened her eyes and said helplessly.

"This is how fishermen are." Lin Heng smiled at her and climbed up quickly.

After taking some biscuits, fruits and tender corn, the two set off.

Let Caiyun take care of the family at home. The two children are fed milk and diapers after four o'clock, so they can take care of them until seven or eight o'clock.

When they recognized each other, their father and eldest brother were both ready to go.

When we drove on the road, the sky had just become clear and the sun had not yet come out.

When they arrived at the place, the four of them took out their fishing rods and hung baits to start fishing. Lin Heng, Xiulan and other fish caught corn, and her father and elder brother fished for frog liver.

After hanging it up, they went to look at their ground hooks. After a while, an exclamation came from the distance: "Hurry up and get the net, big fish, big fish!"

"I also have one here. I can't pull it out. It's so heavy!" Lin Yue also shouted.

"I'll go over and help. Xiulan, please keep an eye on the fishing rod." Lin Heng said, picked up the fishing net and ran over.

When he came over, Father Lin had already dragged the fish directly to the shore. It was a big catfish, weighing four or five pounds.

"Hahaha, I finally got a big one." Father Lin was extremely happy.

Just as Lin Heng was about to speak, his elder brother hurriedly shouted: "Come and help me, this is not a fish, it is a giant turtle!!"

"Damn, it's such a big turtle." Lin Heng was shocked and ran over quickly, but found that the turtle was actually dead and had been pulled ashore.

The fishhook hooked its neck, and it would be dead if it was pulled twice.

"I weigh seven or eight pounds." Lin Yue chuckled.

"You are all bullies, you don't want my help at all." Lin Heng was speechless. Fortunately, it was a thick nylon thread, otherwise they would have broken it long ago.

"Honey, hubby, come on, come on, I can't hold you back."

At this time, Xiulan, who was upstream, exclaimed. Lin Heng turned around and saw that the fishing rod had turned into a large curved bow, and Xiulan was about to be pulled into the river.

"It's coming, it's coming, hold on!"

Lin Heng took the fishing net and ran up. Fortunately, it was not far away, and he quickly took the fishing rod from Xiulan's hand.

"Crack!!"

"Holy shit!!"

Then Lin Heng was stunned in the next second. The purple bamboo fishing rod with such strong toughness exploded and broke.

Fortunately, the fishing line was not broken, and the fishing rod exploded but was not broken. He continued to fish with the broken fishing rod.

After pulling twice, Lin Heng felt that the fishing line was about to break, and he quickly shouted: "No, my wife, please quickly thread the rope at the bottom of the fishing rod!"

He had already pierced a hole in the back of the Zizhu fishing rod and left a noose, just because he was afraid of catching a big fish and unable to pull up the short rod.

Xiulan was also very quick, tying the missing rope within ten seconds.

When he saw that it was tied up, Lin Heng immediately dropped the fishing rod, and the giant thing in the water rushed out in an instant.

"Oh my god, what a big fish this is. I feel like someone is pulling me into the water." Xiulan said with lingering fear as she looked at the lost rope that had gone out seven or eight meters.

"You are really my blessing. This time I will break the fishing record!!"

Lin Hengze was extremely excited. If he hadn't been busy fishing, he would have wanted to kiss his wife.

According to his estimate, the fish must weigh at least thirty kilograms.

It was so violent that it was impossible to get out of the water for a while.
