Chapter 15

When the water reached about the height of a child's thigh, Yun Shuang and Xiao'e had already rolled up their pants at the shore. Each of them held a fishing net and a fish basket, preparing to go into the water. "Little sister, you mustn't go in. Although the water isn't deep, there is mud, and if you're small and don't step correctly, you might easily slip and fall."

In previous years, there were cases of children drowning in shallow water.

Yun Xiaolu wanted to go in, but she was afraid of Zhao Yueji's powerful slap, so in the end, she chickened out. Getting spanked by her mom would be really painful!

"I'll stay here and watch your shoes." Since the rewards had already been distributed, even if she didn't go in, the fish would still come to them.

Yun Shuang and Xiao'e originally came along just to join in the fun. In previous years, they would be lucky to catch a few small fish, considering that the fish in the canal were brought there and their numbers were not significant.

But since they were already here, how could they not participate?

"Dad, I caught a big one with the net!" Xiaodou, from a distance, was very excited. Although he often caught fish, the small streams near their village didn't have big fish. The largest ones were only the size of a palm, so having a fish jump into his net made him incredibly happy.

"Second uncle, you and your son are really lucky." The villagers who had come over together couldn't help but envy the good fortune of the Yun family father and son. It was rare to catch two big fish in the canal water. They had been there for quite a while and only caught three or four small fish.

Yun Haisheng also felt that their luck was exceptionally good today. He didn't really have any special fishing skills; it was just that they had better luck last year, and the children exaggerated it. He initially thought this year wouldn't be as good, but he didn't expect their luck to be even better than last year.

When the water level dropped below their knees, Yun Haisheng decided to pack up his fishing rod and head back to the shore. "It's time to go back. There's nothing else to catch."

At this point, there wasn't much left in the water, maybe just some finger-sized young fish. The adults wouldn't catch many of them; it was only the children who found them interesting.

Xiaodou had a fruitful catch today and was no longer interested in the small fish. So, he proudly returned to the shore with his head held high, following his dad.

Meanwhile, Yun Shuang and Xiao'e were using a barrier net to catch fish in the shallow part of the canal. Judging from their uncontrollable smiles, it seemed they had also caught some fish.

"We caught big fish too!" Xiaodou began boasting as soon as he saw his sisters.

"We also caught quite a few fish!" Yun Shuang and Xiao'e were still in a state of blissful surprise. They never expected to encounter so many fish swimming in the shallow water area.

"Let's go home first," Yun Haisheng said as he watched the villagers returning to the shore one by one. He thought it would be better for the children to go home and show off their spoils.

On their way back home, they saw some people from the team carrying several baskets of fish to the brigade headquarters. It didn't seem strange to them; it was quite common.

The most suitable place for catching fish was the water outlet. The team would set up nets at each water outlet, and the harvest was always significant. However, these fish were to be sold for money. The Hongqi Brigade had the most impressive yangko dance troupe in the Moon Commune. They had even represented the commune in performances before. The money from selling fish served as the "activity funds" for the yangko dance troupe. Otherwise, how could their brigade's yangko dance troupe look better than others? The brigade was willing to spend money on it.
