Chapter 225 - 225 Fishing!
225 Fishing!
The adults had to work, and the children who didn’t have to work… well, Gu Qingming, an old child, could be considered a child, so they found a place to play!
Gu Qingming was thinking about how to plant her uncle’s umbilical orange seedling in the space!
She loved fruits.
Her uncle’s navel oranges were the best she had ever eaten!
She was looking forward to transplanting the navel orange into the space to see what kind of delicious fruit she would obtain!
She definitely couldn’t tell her uncle the truth!
Should she just tell him that she wanted two seedlings… to play with?
“Aunt, let’s go fishing. Let’s eat fish for lunch!” Shi Jiahao’s big round eyes were filled with excitement.
Gu Qingming smiled and said, “Little Jiahao wants to eat fish?”
“Aunt, I want to eat fish too!” Shi Junxuan also expressed his opinion!
“Oh, so you all want to eat fish! Alright, I’ll show you today. I’ll go to the pond and catch fish. How about that?”
“Alright, alright, Auntie will go fishing!” The two children clapped in agreement. “Then shall we go fishing?
With that, the two children were about to run away!
Gu Qingming immediately said, “Wait? We don’t have fishing hooks. How can we fish?”
Gu Qingming looked at this not-too-big pond. It didn’t seem impossible.
Except…
She lowered her head slightly to look at her bulging stomach.
Eldest Uncle and the rest would probably shout worriedly even before she entered the water!
At this moment, Shi Junxuan said, “There seems to be a fishing rod in that house! I’ve seen Grandpa fishing here before.”
Gu Qingming said, “Then I’ll ask Grandpa and see if there’s a fishing rod!”
With that, she took out her phone. When the other party called, Gu Qingming asked, “Eldest Uncle, we want to go fishing. Is there a fishing rod here? Junxuan said that he saw you fishing!”
“Okay, I understand. I’ll go look for it.”
After Gu Qingming hung up, she said to the two children, “Yes, your grandfather said that there are indeed fishing rods here. Let’s go find them now!”
“Sure, sure!” The two children said happily.
“I know where Grandpa’s fishing rod is. I’ll go get it now!” Shi Junxuan said.
With that, he ran back to the house, opened the door, and ran towards the bedroom!
Gu Qingming was speechless. A child’s nature was indeed happy!
A moment later, Shi Junxuan came out with a fishing rod and said happily, “Aunt, I found it. Grandpa placed it in the corner of the room! I found it very quickly!”
He walked in front of Gu Qingming and handed the fishing rod to her. “Aunt, this is for you!”
“If there’s a fishing rod, then we need to fish for earthworms! Come, let’s dig for earthworms!” Shi Jiahao said and walked into the greenhouse.
Gu Qingming was speechless. If she remembered correctly, the two children were only three or four years old. They knew quite a lot!
Soon, the two children started to rummage through the greenhouse!
Gu Qingming looked at the rows of ginger onions that were forced to leave the land. Then, they found the earthworms!
Would Eldest Aunt and Eldest Sister-in-law fly into a rage when they returned?
Not long after, the two children really found a few earthworms!
Seeing that they were getting more and more enthusiastic and were about to turn over all the land, Gu Qingming immediately stopped them. “Little Junxuan, Little Jiahao, we’ll only catch two or three fish. We don’t need too many earthworms!”
There was quite a lot of small fish in this pond. If the hook was lowered, the probability of catching them would be high. It was not 100%. Previously, there was a 90% chance of catching them!
After using a mineral water bottle to store the earthworms, the three children ran to the pond excitedly!
The pond was not big. It was estimated to be about a hundred square meters. Fish grass was floating on the surface of the water.
After loading the fishing rod, she placed it into the pond!
A moment later, the fishing rod stirred.
Shi Junxuan immediately asked happily, “Did you catch it? Did you catch it?”
Shi Jiahao also asked, “Aunt, it moved. Did you catch it?”
Gu Qingming smiled and said, “I think I caught it. Let me see!”
Then, she pulled it up…
“Wow, I caught it! What a big fish!”
“What a big fish!”
Gu Qingming looked at the fish that was still jumping in the air and was a little speechless.
This was probably the easiest shot at fishing!
When Gu Qingming caught the fish and was about to put it aside, she realized a problem.
There was no bucket for the fish.
However, the fish that fell could not be put back into the pond.
She still had to go back and carry the bucket.
However, she could not be at ease leaving the two children by the pond.
The pond did not seem deep, but the two children were not old. If they fell in, she would not be able to rush back in time. Something big would happen.
“Aunt, this fish looks so big!” Shi Junxuan repeated, “What kind of fish is this?”
Gu Qingming looked at her and said uncertainly, “This should be grass carp, right?”
It looked like a grass carp!
Gu Qingming retracted the line and caught the fish. She said, “Little Xuanxuan, Little Haohao, let’s leave this fish there. Then, we’ll bring a bucket over, okay?”
“Sure, sure!” Of course, the children would not refuse.
As long as they didn’t stay at home, they would find it interesting wherever they played.
She returned to the house and put the big fish away. Then she put in some water so that the fish would not die from lack of water. If she brought the dead fish home, it would definitely not be fresh.
She carried the bucket back.
Then, she caught two more big fish.
“Aunt, there are so many fish in the water. There are even more fish than in the river in front of our door!”
“Haha, Little Xuanxuan, don’t you know that Grandpa put the fish in this pond to raise?” Gu Qingming said in amusement. “Alright, three fish should be enough to eat. I’m not fishing anymore!”
The light in the eyes of the two children quickly dimmed, and they said unhappily, “Oh!”
“This time, we did catch enough fish. Let’s wait for the next time, okay?” Gu Qingming coaxed. “Next time, we’ll fish more.”
“Alright, we’ll fish again next time!” The two children reluctantly agreed.
After fishing, she tidied up and returned to the house.
Before leaving, Gu Qingming placed some spiritual spring water in the pond. Oh, it was about as much as a mineral water bottle.
What the two children did not know was that when they turned around, the fish in the river appeared, as if they were fighting over something.
The morning passed quickly!
The workers came back one after another!
Seeing the three big fish in the bucket, they smiled and said, “When we go back, we’ll cook the fish!”
On the way back, Gu Qingming said to her eldest uncle, “Eldest Uncle, can I have three seedlings?”
However, to her surprise, Eldest Uncle agreed without asking anything. “Okay, Uncle will dig it out for you!”
When he returned, he brought three small seedlings with him!
