I chose a one-and-a-half-meter-long fishing rod because it is suitable for winter fishing. I also brought an axe with me when I set out to break the thick ice on the lake.

Ding Weidong held Xiao Yu'er in his arms, and asked Li Qingyu to follow closely behind him, carrying an axe, a fishing rod, and a broken enamelware basin that he had found near the kitchen.

There were porcelain missing from many parts of it, and some water was leaking. Otherwise, it would not have been thrown away.

Xiao Yu'er hooked Ding Weidong's neck with one finger and held a ** gourd in the other hand.

This is 196 [Too much sensitive content, unable to continue output]

The ice layer of Shichahai is really very solid. The severity of winter in those years is simply incomparable to that in modern times.

"Qingyu, take Xiaoyuer and step back a little so that I can dig an ice cave." Ding Weidong said while holding the axe.

They were about ten meters away from the shore, and the water depth here was suitable for fishing. Ding Weidong swung the axe, and in a few "bangs", he dug a square meter of ice hole.

Afterwards, Ding Weidong picked up a worn enamel basin, poured the bait into the basin, and mixed the bait with the river water.

Ding Weidong took out another cloth bag from his pocket, and the brown powder in the bag spilled out. Li Qingyu saw the empty bag being discarded and quickly picked it up.

This whole bag contains a full pound of bait.

"Brother Dong, you actually threw away such a good cloth bag," Li Qingyu said with some regret, "You may need it in the future if you keep it."

Ding Weidong nodded, threw half of the mixed bait into the water, and then installed the fishing line and float on the fishing rod.

This kind of fishing line is strong enough for sewing leather shoes, and it should have no problem bearing a hundred kilograms of pressure.

It was about 9:30 in the morning, and the sun was shining warmly on me, but the sky was gray and it seemed like it was going to snow.

Just when he had everything ready, he saw Yan Bugui's figure appearing not far away.

"Brother Weidong, it seems that you are really strong and healthy. You can open such a large ice cave in just a short time. How about we go fishing together?" Yan Bugui rubbed his hands with a disgusting expression.

Seeing this, the image of the big green fly rubbing its head with its claws emerged in Ding Weidong's mind.

"Forget it! What the hell are you thinking of?" Ding Weidong responded coldly.

"That's right, one ice cave is not big enough for two people to share. Otherwise, you can help me make an ice cave." Yan Bugui laughed awkwardly. This was the real purpose of his visit.

"Shut up!" Ding Weidong was too lazy to say a word to him.

But Yan Bugui is like a green-headed fly, and it seems a bit difficult to get rid of him.

"Weidong, we are fellow villagers living in the same compound." Yan Bugui said naggingly, "Since we are neighbors, we should help each other. This little thing is just a piece of cake for you..."

Ding Weidong was getting more and more angry with Yan Bugui in front of him. Although it was not convenient to use violence at this moment, he could not get angry because of Yan Bugui's chattering, otherwise he would give the other party an excuse to be righteous!

So Ding Weidong simply ignored him and threw the pigeon egg-sized fishing hook covered with bait into the water.

"Weidong, that's not a good idea." The person standing nearby kept gossiping, "What kind of bait did you use? You won't catch any fish that way!"

"I have mastered the art of fishing, and perhaps I should teach you a little—but you will have to pay me five dollars."

As he spoke, Yan Bugui's eyes could not help but look at Xiao Yu'er who was tasting the candied haws. His gaze made Xiao Yu'er feel that her precious candied haws were threatened. Instinctively, she turned her back to Yan Bugui, not wanting him to see her candied haws.

Ding Weidong's luck was indeed very good, perhaps it had a lot to do with those special ingredients. As a result, not long after the fishing mark was erected, it was suddenly pulled down by the fish.

As soon as Ding Weidong lifted the fishing rod in his hand, the fishing line was stretched as tight as an arrow string, making a whooshing sound, and even the 1.5-meter-long fishing rod was pulled into a bow shape.

"Wow, this is a big fish." Yan Bugui exclaimed, "Weidong, if you can't handle it, let me, I will help you pull this guy up."

Yan Bugui had a plan in mind: if he pulled up this fish, he could at least get half of the spoils. It looked like it weighed at least ten kilograms.

"Get out of the way!"

Ding Weidong glared at Yan Bugui with murderous intent. As someone who had experienced life and death on the battlefield, that kind of look was not something that someone like Yan Bugui could withstand.

Yan Bugui was frightened and quickly retracted his hand.

Ding Weidong, who is proficient in Bajiquan, has extraordinary skills in controlling force. At this moment, he just shook his wrist lightly and threw the big fish onto the shore.

Hearing the noise, many people gathered to watch. When they saw the nearly 70-centimeter-long fish being lifted onto the ice and suddenly jumping up high, they were all dumbfounded.

"Fish, fish!"

The little girl Xiaoyuer took the lead in screaming, extremely excited. If Li Qingyu hadn't held her back, she would have rushed forward to grab the fish regardless of everything.

Ding Weidong approached and tied the fish to the rope, as if he was leading a puppy, and then handed the more than two-meter-long rope to Li Qingyu.

"Give it to me, brother, give it to me!" Xiao Yuer jumped to grab the rope, but Li Qingyu smiled and obediently handed it to Xiao Yuer.

"Tsk tsk, this fish must be more than 20 kilograms!" Yan Bugui's eyes flashed with greed, "Weidong, how can you finish this big fish by yourself? Why don't you... share some of it?"

He originally said "Why not give me some", but before he said it, his face suddenly seemed to hurt. He remembered Ding Weidong's great strength and changed his words to "a little".

"I've never seen anyone so thick-skinned." Ding Weidong said indifferently.

"Old Yan, what are you doing? You are a teacher after all!" an old man scolded.

Yan Bugui was extremely embarrassed, as the old man was actually a staff member of Hongxin Primary School. He was very troubled by the damage to his image in the school.

Soon after Ding Weidong put the bait on again, the float suddenly dropped rapidly, and Ding Weidong quickly caught another fish, this time a huge fish weighing nearly 10 kilograms.

"Tie it tight, tie it tight." Xiao Yuer jumped up and hurriedly handed the rope to Li Qingyu. The big fish that was caught was already frozen. It might turn into an ice cube in a moment.

Li Qingyu happily put the newly caught bighead carp on the string. The rope was controlled by Xiaoyu, but it was a bit difficult to drag with two fish.

During the process of hanging the bait, the bait in Ding Weidong's hand began to freeze. He had to thaw part of it to the temperature of his hand before he could barely hang it on the hook.

Then, within just ten minutes, he successfully caught two more mandarin fish, each weighing about 3 jin. These were just the right amount of food for children, as they had almost no bones.

Looking at the frozen bait, Ding Weidong shook his head. He took these items out of the bag. After using them this time, they would not be usable next time, and they were not suitable to be thrown away casually.

Anyone present with any sense could see that Ding Weidong's superb fishing skills were part of the reason; but there must be something special about the bait itself.

"Qingyu, let's go back." Ding Weidong sighed and said, "This weather is really too cold. Don't let Xiaoyuer catch a cold."

"Yeah, let's go back and eat grilled fish!" Xiao Yuer shouted happily.

"Weidong, can you give me these remaining baits?" Yan Bugui's eyes sparkled and he reached out to take the cloth bag.

"Snapped!"

Ding Weidong was not polite at all and directly hit Yan Bugui's arm with his hand.

"What are you going to do? Want to rob? And, Mr. Yan Bugui, we are not familiar with each other! You are not allowed to call me Weidong. Please call me Ding Weidong or Comrade Ding."

That palm strike made Yan Bugui's palm numb and sore.

"Ouch..." Although he looked unhappy, Yan Bugui quickly occupied the hole to fish. When it comes to taking advantage, no one can compare to Yan Bugui.

After Ding Weidong packed up the fish, he held the package in one hand and picked up the small fish with the other. Li Qingyu's cheeks turned red as she picked up the fishing equipment.

Li Qingyu's appearance is as beautiful and elegant as the classic Little Dragon Girl at her peak moment, and she even looks more beautiful.

At this moment, her cheeks were red. Under the gaze of others, she quickly followed Ding Weidong and left the shore.

"Wait a minute!" Someone stopped Ding Weidong, "Little brother, these fish..."

"No, don't talk about this. This is my own food." Ding Weidong hurriedly took the little fish and continued to move forward. He would never sell fish at this time, and even if the number of fish caught in the future increased, he would sell it to the collective unit.

Ding Weidong would never give anyone any handle on him, especially in a community full of cunning people.

As soon as he stepped onto the shore, the "system prompt" sounded in his mind: "Humiliate the beast Yan Bugui, and get two bottles of Xifeng wine and a bottle of braised pork can! "

Ding Weidong thought to himself: The rewards are getting smaller and smaller, and the reasons behind the mechanism need to be studied clearly.

It was 10:30 a.m. when he returned to the residential area. The watch on Ding Weidong's wrist was a fruit of victory, a gold Rolex that had once belonged to an Indian brother. In the winter, Ding Weidong had to hide its brilliance with his sleeves. If it were summer, he would never wear it outside.

This doesn't quite fit with his style.

"Qingyu, I'll go to the kitchen to kill a mandarin fish and make sweet and sour mandarin fish with rice for lunch." After placing the little fish in place, Ding Weidong said.

At this time, Li Qingyu put down the fishing gear in his hand and opened the door of the house.

"After catching so many fish, have you seen my Ah Yan?" A thin woman came over and asked in astonishment. She was Yan Bugui's wife, Yang Yuzhen.

"Yes, Teacher Yan is still fishing there. Let's go home early now." Li Qingyu thought for a while, then said with a smile.

At this time, Ding Weidong walked straight into the house.

"Then tell me, how many fish did he catch? Did he catch more than you?" Yang Yuzhen said with her eyes wide open.

"I don't know. I'm going to start cooking." Li Qingyu nodded, walked into the house, and then closed the door.

While Li Qingyu was washing rice with warm water on the stove, Ding Weidong had already processed and cleaned a three-jin mandarin fish. Then, Li Qingyu lit some grass and began to cook the delicious dish, intending to make a braised mandarin fish.

The unique aroma of fish fried in lard wafts through the neighborhood.

Jia Zhang was lying on the bed, resting in her room; she had not left the house since she came back the night before. Whenever she saw the stick, she could not hide her anger.

"Qin Huairu, look at this good-for-nothing child... He almost killed me last night... If it weren't for my good grandson, he would have really messed things up." Jia Zhang bit her lower lip tightly, "I am so embarrassed!"

The western wing, which is the room facing south from the atrium, is about 25 square meters in area and is divided into two rooms; the ** of them serves as a living room and kitchen, and the rest is the residence of Jia Zhang and Bangzi.

There was a honeycomb coal stove and a firewood stove outside the door. At this time, Qin Huairu was preparing Chinese food. The puppy followed her, and the depressed Bangzi sat at one side of the small table.

Because it was winter vacation, Bangzi did not go out to school.

"I didn't mean to do that on purpose." Bangzi muttered quietly, but he suddenly jumped up from his chair, "Strange smell? Where does this smell of fried fish come from? Who is frying fish?"

The unique aroma of fried mandarin fish and lard made Bangzi and Jia Zhang's noses perk up.

"Indeed, which family is so rude to cook fish? Why don't they give us some to show their respect?" When this matter was mentioned, Jia Zhang shouted angrily, "Huai Ru, you are so indifferent that you don't even ask for some fish for your precious son?"

Qin Huairu, who was preparing the meal with a big belly, smiled helplessly and said, "Mom, don't be angry. They have just started frying the fish. I will see which restaurant is frying it later. When it is almost done, I will go to them to borrow some to try."

"Let me go see who's cooking it." After saying that, Bangzi ran out.

Jia Zhang couldn't help but admire, "My dear grandson is so smart! Wow... He was so smart and sensible when he was little. He will definitely become the manager of a steel plant in the future!"

Jia Zhang considers being the head of the factory to be a considerable honor.

At this moment, Bangzi rushed in and shouted: "Grandma! Grandma! It's the family in the front yard. They are frying fish. Although the door is closed, the smell is so tempting!"

"You have to be careful with your words. Otherwise, if others hear you, you will suffer." Qin Huairu said solemnly: "Remember, stay away from that family as much as possible."

She knew that Ding Weidong's family was not easy to mess with. At this time, Jia Zhang touched her cheek and still felt the burning pain.

"Forget it. Why should I continue to suffer?" Qin Huairu said cowardly.

"Why not? I haven't forgotten what happened last night. Go get some fish from that little bastard as his apology fee." Jia Zhang said indignantly: "Besides, you are pregnant, how could he have the courage to use force on you?"

"If he does it, don't hesitate to just lie down and blame him. You must make him give an explanation! Remember to make him take due responsibility."

In a room on the left side of the main building in the west courtyard, a shriveled and skinny grandma was leaning against the fire pit. Although her hair was gray, it was combed very neatly and her clothes were not patched or dusty.

At this moment, she sniffed her nose and looked at a woman holding hot water: "Jinhuaer, do you know which family is cooking fish? Oh my, they are even using lard to fry the fish."

"Old lady, I'll get some for you later." The woman said with a smile, "No matter which family prepares it, it should be honored to you as an elder."

"That's true!" The old lady raised her chin proudly.

This old lady is the deaf nanny, and this woman is Yi Zhonghai’s wife, Tan Jinhua.

"The little guy who came from the front yard yesterday seemed to be of extraordinary status. He also beat Lao Yi, Lao Liu and Lao Yan last night." Tan Jinhua revealed.
