Xu Hui smiled but did not say anything. With a girl like Niu Niu in front of him, she would not feel bored. It was just the matter of having two extra pairs of chopsticks every day. Seeing that Niuniu was becoming more and more obedient, Xu Hui was pleased.
Unknowingly, the two of them fell asleep. The afternoon sun was quite big, so the sunlight that shone through the window made people feel warm. Xu Hui stretched lazily and opened her eyes a little to get used to the weather. When she thought about the fish Niu Niu mentioned under the ice, he became even more determined to catch them.
Seeing that Niu Niu was still not awake, Xu Hui did not disturb her. He went down quietly and found Gou Sheng's mother. Gou Sheng's mother also looked like he had just woken up. After all, they had eaten and drank to their heart's content.
Gou Sheng's mother greeted Xu Hui the moment he saw him. His smile was extremely sincere and just looking at his made his feel comfortable. Xu Hui also smiled at Gou Sheng's mother. After all, the New Year was supposed to have more smiles on its face.
"Aunt, shall we have fish tonight?" Xu Hui did not say much and just went straight to the point. Gou Sheng's mother was confused. "Where did we get fish in this place? Even Da Yong and Gou Sheng didn't bring fish back."
As soon as Xu Hui finished talking, Gou Sheng's mother nodded, but his expression was not relaxed at all. After thinking for a while, he spoke up: "We two girls, how are we going to catch fish? In this world of ice and snow, what should we do if something happens? "
"This is what I'm worried about right now, all I can do is wait for Da Yong and Gou Sheng to come back and see what they say. All of them are soldiers fighting in the army, there must be a way. " Xu Hui frowned and said.
Although he had thought that he could do some things a few days ago, it seemed that it was not realistic to think that he could fish now. If something were to happen to him, he would really be at a loss.
Just as he was thinking, he saw that Da Yong had returned and did not see Gou Sheng. Xu Hui welcomed him: Where's Brother Gou Sheng? "Today is the new year, don't tell me he hasn't come back yet when he went out to do something?"
Da Yong laughed. "Nope, I just came back to get something. I'll be leaving soon." Didn't you tell me to call Lin Qianhu over for dinner? We saw a pond over there when we went over, but it was frozen in ice. There are still a lot of fish inside, Gou Sheng is looking at the terrain over there, I will be back to grab a fork and then leave. "
Hearing that, Xu Hui and Gou Sheng's mother looked at each other and laughed so hard that their eyes narrowed, "I was just about to tell you, Niu Niu told me about the fish at that place at noon, but I don't know how to catch them. I just discussed it with my aunty to ask her about it when you guys came back. I didn't expect you guys to find it too. "
Braveshell was obviously happy as well. Eating fish during the new year could be considered a small custom, but there had been none before, so no one mentioned it. Now that he could find one, he could join in on the fun and get a taste of the 'fish every year'.
Da Yong took out a broken piece of bamboo and used it to sharpen both sides into the shape of an arrow. Xu Hui thought that it would be troublesome if she only had such a sharp tip. Since Da Yong was here, it would not be a problem. She might as well cut a fork with two pointed ends in the middle.
Xu Hui told Xiao Dayong what she was thinking as she stopped him in his tracks. After hearing what his wife had said, Xiao Da Yong frowned. In the past, he had always used this kind of bamboo arrow to catch fish. Although he had heard it well from his own wife, he had never really done so. What if it was useless …
Seemingly seeing through Xiao Da Yong's thoughts, Xu Hui nudged Gou Sheng's mother with his elbow. Gou Sheng's mother understood very quickly and chimed in from the side, "Ah, Da Yong, I saw that the women over there did the same thing before. You guys have less contact with these outside, so it can be even simpler.
Seeing that both of them were talking in such a manner, coupled with the fact that Xu Hui was right about their plan every time. At most, it would only take a little more time. Xiao Da Yong nodded and sat down to cut the bamboo. Xu Hui stood to the side and watched Xiao Dayong, giving him some pointers from time to time. It didn't take him too long to do so.
Just in case, Xiao Dayong also took the first fork he made along with him. Xu Hui could not help but snort proudly in her heart. Modern art wasn't something to be boasted about. It was only because Xiao Dazhi was strong that he didn't mind the trouble.
If it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't do that, he would have gone to catch the fish himself.
Thinking of this, Xu Hui wanted to go with him. Since she had nothing to do, she followed behind Xiao Da Yong. Xiao Dazong thought about how his wife had been cooped up in the room for so long, and now she was following him. It should be fine, so he did not say anything else. He pulled Xu Hui to her side and felt that Xu Hui's hand was very cold. Xiao Da Yong then wrapped Xu Hui's hand in her own.
Xu Hui could feel that Xiao Dayong was treating him well. She pursed her lips and smiled, feeling that she had never suffered before when she married Xiao Dazong.
The two of them chatted as they walked, and before long, they arrived. Gou Sheng was lying prone on the layer of ice, staring at the fish underneath. Whenhe finally saw Xiao Dazong come, she hurriedly crawled up: "You're finally here, I'm almost about to freeze up waiting here."
Xu Hui was a little embarrassed behind him. It was all because of her plan that she had wasted her time. Xiao Da Yong did not mention what happened just now and only asked Gou Sheng: "How is it? Can the ice break? "
Gou Sheng nodded his head: "It should be possible. Sigh, why did you bring two forks over?" When he saw the other harpoon in Xiao Dazong's hand, he asked.
Xiao Da Yong did not know what to say, so he did not reply, and just threw the fork Xu Hui asked him to make to Gou Sheng: "Use this, my wife says it's better than the one we had before."
Gou Sheng's face was filled with disbelief, but he still received it. After that, he took out a large stone from who knows where and fiercely threw it towards the weakest spot in the center of the layer of ice. Xiao Da Yong brought Xu Hui and walked a little to the side.
After a while, there was a "bang" and a large hole appeared in the ice. Because he was afraid that the surrounding ice would be broken, Gou Sheng didn't dare to smash it. The fish underneath the water seemed to feel the sunlight shining on them from the outside, jumping up and down on the net, making people feel happy.
"This water seems to be quite deep, I wonder if I can reach it." Xiao Dazong frowned as he looked at the lively fish.
