Chapter 88 Fishing Gifts
"Eat them, I must eat them today!" Jiang Jiyun looked at the two trophies with tears still on his face.
"Hehehe..."
Yan Xuyang looked at his sister's eyes that were about to spit fire and laughed, "Let's go back and kill them now."
Jiang Jiyuan came over and hugged his sister. "Your feet are a little red and swollen. I'll apply some medicine on them when I get home."
Ma Chao and Yan Xuyang carried the basin and followed Jiang Jiyuan and his sister back to the small courtyard.
"Learned it?"
Jiang Wenming had already gotten up and was standing at the gate of the yard holding Xiaobao. He saw the few people coming back.
"Why is Xiaoyun crying?" Jiang Wenming saw tears on Jiang Jiyun's little dark face as he approached.
Jiang Jiyun looked up and said, "I didn't cry, it was my eyes that were sweating!"
She didn't shed a tear when she was injured in the battlefield killing Japanese invaders, but now she was crying because she was pinched by a river clam. She didn't cry, but her eyes were sweating!
"Eyes sweating?" Jiang Wenming repeated with twitching mouth.
When they got home, Master Jiang Liu looked at Jiang Jiyun's swollen right foot and said, "Go back and change your clothes first! Fortunately, you have three sets of clothes, otherwise you would have to go naked today."
Jiang Jiyun followed her sister-in-law into the room with a pout, and she continued to complain to Du Wanqing.
Du Wanqing held back her laughter as she changed her clothes, applied ointment on her feet, and then got up and took the clothes out to wash. Jiang Jiyun jumped out and climbed onto the bamboo bed by himself.
“Ah! Ah! Ah!…”
When Xiaobao saw his sister sitting there, he ran towards her. Jiang Wenming couldn't hold him so he put him next to Jiang Jiyun.
"Hey! What are you doing!" Jiang Jiyun watched Xiaobao trying to roll towards him, then pulled her to sit up.
"What are you doing, little guy?" Jiang Jiyun looked speechlessly at Xiaobao who was climbing on him as if he were a pillar.
"Brother, where is Xiaobao's father now? How can we give Xiaobao to him?"
Jiang Jiyun now wishes she could give him to his father right now. It is too difficult to take care of this child. Fortunately, Sister Wanting takes care of him most of the time, otherwise she would have died young. She now really admires those mothers who take care of their children at home, they are so amazing and great.
"We haven't contacted his father yet, and even if we did, there's no way to send the child over. It seems he's with the troops on the front line and can't take care of the child. Xiaobao is clinging to you because he likes you." Jiang Jiyuan laughed when he saw his sister's disdain for Xiaobao.
"His love is so heavy!" Jiang Jiyun was shaken by Xiaobao's giggle.
"Whatever, just destroy it!" Jiang Jiyun lay back, and Xiaobao fell beside her, giggling.
Time passed quickly and it was the morning of Major Yoshino's birthday. Jiang Jiyun and Yan Xuyang changed into clean clothes that were all patched up and went to the riverside with Jiang Wenming and Ma Chao who were wearing the same clothes.
The two of them carried a wooden basin and two large wooden barrels and followed Jiang Jiyun and the others. Yan Xuyang had dug up a lot of earthworms in the past two days. At the reminder of Master Jiang Liu, he ground the dried small shrimps and fish into powder to use as bait.
Yan Xu was carrying a bucket of bait and a fishing net on his back, walking behind Jiang Jiyun who was jumping in front of him.
When they arrived at the riverside, Jiang Jiyun secretly scattered bait into the river while they were putting bait in the wooden basin.
"Xiao Yun, stop throwing sand here. The fish won't come here soon." After Yan Xuyang finished spreading the bait, he saw Jiang Jiyun also throwing something here.
"Cough... cough..." After being caught, Jiang Jiyun coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment.
"Okay, today you two wait by the river to pick up fish, and we will cast the net to catch fish." Jiang Jiyuan asked the two men to wait aside.
Ten minutes after spreading the bait, Ma Chao stood in the big basin and began to cast the net.
Jiang Jiyun and Yan Xuyang were standing on the shore at a distance from them, watching how Brother Ma cast the net. They wanted to learn from his experience, as they had made a great fool of themselves that day.
As soon as Ma Chao let go of the net, he heard him shout "Oh no!" and the three people who were standing together to watch the fun were covered by the fishing net from head to toe.
Jiang Jiyun and Yan Xuyang looked at each other and sighed. Everyone is starting at the same starting line!
"Brother Ma, do you think we are big fish?" Jiang Jiyuan asked while holding the fishing net.
"Mistake! Mistake! My hand slipped. I'll cast the net again!" Ma Chao rowed the basin back to the shore.
When he was about to cast the net for the second time, Yan Xuyang pulled Jiang Jiyun and ran away quickly.
This time Ma Chao finally cast the net into the river, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
After waiting for a while, they began to collect the net. Jiang Jiyun was happy when he saw the small fish and shrimps in the net.
Her pockets ran over to restock the space she had been given. Yan Xuyang opened the net and took out a fish that had suddenly swelled up. He asked, "What kind of fish is this? Why does it look like a ball with thorns?"
Jiang Jiyun saw that her brothers didn't know and didn't dare to say anything. She knew it was a puffer fish, but unfortunately she couldn't say it.
"Brother Xuyang, put it in the bucket and take it back to show Sixth Grandpa. He might know what it is. If that doesn't work, let's go ask the people in Caijiagou." Jiang Jiyun took a wooden barrel from the side and asked him to put the money in.
"Okay." Yan Xuyang put the puffer fish into the bucket. The big fish were put in the big bucket, the small fish that were too small were thrown back into the river, and the medium-sized ones that were edible were put in the small bucket.
While they were tidying up the fishing nets and casting the nets again, Jiang Jiyun sent some small fish and shrimps into the stream in the space.
Near noon, their second net finally caught a lot of big fish.
"Hey, I've never seen this fish before!" Jiang Jiyuan picked up a fish.
"do not know!"
Ma Chao took a look and continued to fish. Jiang Jiyun carefully took the fish and put it back into the river. It was a Chinese sturgeon! Those bastards were not worthy of eating our treasure.
"Hey! Why did you let it go? Such a big fish can still be eaten!" Jiang Jiyuan became anxious when he saw his sister let the fish go.
"We don't know what kind of fish this is. What if it's poisonous? If the Japanese eat it, they'll die, and that's it. But our lives are very precious." Jiang Jiyun lied without blushing.
"Yes, let's pick out these fish and see if the company commander is satisfied." Ma Chao picked out all the big fish.
"You guys go and have fun by yourselves! The two of us can go fishing here." Jiang Jiyuan looked at his sister's dirty little hands and pulled her to wash them so that she could go and play.
Jiang Jiyun could only follow Yan Xuyang to the fields over there to pick wild chrysanthemums.
"Are those pheasant eggs over there?" Yan Xuyang saw the white eggs in the grass while helping to pick chrysanthemums.
"Giggle!"
"Giggle!"
When the brother and sister heard the sound, they looked at each other, put down the net bag in their hands and tiptoed over.
After a commotion, two people with chicken feathers on their heads stood up from the bushes. Yan Xuyang spat out the feathers in his mouth and said, "This is not a female pheasant. Female pheasants are not so pretty."
Jiang Jiyun took out a biscuit and tore it into pieces. He pretended to take out a paper bag from his clothes, sprinkled the sleeping pills on the biscuit crumbs and mixed them evenly.
Yan Xuyang saw Jiang Jiyun put some eggs everywhere, then he pulled Yan Xuyang to pick up the eggs and ran away.
After waiting for a while, two pheasants really poked their heads out. When they smelled the aroma of the biscuit crumbs, they hesitated for a long time but couldn't help but come over to take a bite. When they found that there was no movement, they started to eat with peace of mind.
When the other one saw the other pheasant starting to eat, it came out and joined me. In less than a minute, both pheasants fell down.
"Done!" Jiang Jiyun ran over, picked up the two pheasants and jumped for joy.
"Brother! Brother! We caught a pheasant!" Jiang Jiyun ran to Jiang Jiyuan and the others carrying the pheasant.
"It seems that the gift we gave is too heavy!" Ma Chao laughed.
