Chapter 206: Willing to take the bait

"Mother, why do you want to replant the ginseng in the soil?" Jiang Xiaoxiao asked in surprise.

"You came just right." Jiang Wei patted the soil with a shovel. "Pour some of your ability water on this ginseng."

"Oh, good." Although she didn't know the reason, Jiang Xiaoxiao still did it.

She stepped forward and squatted down, pressing her palm directly on the mud, and the water flowed into the soil along the ground.

With her movements, the leaves on the top of the ginseng became fresh and green at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the cluster of red berries became more fresh and dripping, full of vitality.

Hey, the effect of her ability water is becoming more and more significant!

Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but think proudly.

Jiang Wei looked at it from behind and couldn't help but narrow her eyes with satisfaction.

"This ginseng will be handed over to you to take care of in the future. You pour it with ability water once a day."

Jiang Wei didn't say the guess in her heart. After all, it was just a guess. Whether it could work or not remained to be observed.

"No problem!" Jiang Xiaoxiao agreed, and then said: "Mother, the river water in the village has risen, and many people are catching fish and shrimp there. You make me a fish basket, I also want to catch a few fish back, let's boil fish soup to drink."

Speaking of this, she couldn't help swallowing.

It has been more than half a year since she traveled here, and she hasn't even touched the fishy smell. Thinking of the sweet and sour fish, braised fish meat, pepper and salt boiled fish, sauerkraut fish... she was incomparably nostalgic.

"Alright." Jiang Wei looked at her daughter's greedy look and nodded helplessly.

Although she really wanted to tell her that the river water had just risen not long ago, it was estimated that she couldn't catch big fish, at most some small fish fry, but seeing her so looking forward to it, it was better not to hit her enthusiasm.

Jiang Wei picked up the firewood knife and went to the bamboo forest in the backyard, cut bamboo, and wove a fish basket.

Jiang Wei is an all-around heroine. Except for embroidery, there is nothing she can't do.

In a short while, a sac-shaped fish basket was woven.

Jiang Xiaoxiao took the newly acquired fish basket and happily went to the backyard to find Chunmiao.

At this moment, Chunmiao also finished feeding the poultry and cleaned the backyard.

"Sister Chunya, let's go!"

Thus, the two little girls went to the river in the village hand in hand.

Yuhe Village got its name because there is a river up to several hundred meters long in the village.

Although it is an ordinary small river, in the past when there was no drought, the river water was clear, fish and shrimp gathered in the river, women often went to the river to wash clothes, and children often played by the river. If they were lucky, they could occasionally pick up a few wild duck eggs in the reed bushes by the river.

At that time, the weather was smooth, the environment was good, the river was full of reeds, and wild ducks often built nests.

But since three years ago, natural disasters occurred frequently, the weather was hotter year by year, and it didn't rain for a long time. The river water gradually dried up, the fish and shrimp were gone, and the plants and reeds around the river also dried up.

When Jiang Xiaoxiao arrived at the river, there were already many children using fish baskets to fish on the shore.

Some older children also made their own fishing rods, bent the needles used for sewing clothes at home as fish hooks, hooked some small insects dug from the soil on the hooks as bait, and began to fish on the shore.

Jiang Xiaoxiao had short hands and short feet, so she didn't go to the crowd, simply found a shallow beach, and then squatted down, placing her fish basket.

She didn't bring fish food or any bait, put down the fish basket and sat on the side waiting, mainly willing to take the bait.

Chunya had already played with the children by the river.

She came here mainly to accompany Jiang Xiaoxiao and didn't intend to fish, at most she played with the children here.

She is different from Jiang Xiaoxiao. After all, she is a real child. Children are naturally playful and can't do like Jiang Xiaoxiao, sitting quietly by the river waiting for fish to take the bait.

"Wow, Ergou, you actually caught a fish!"

At this time, cheers came from the children's group.

Zhao Ergou held a small fish half the size of a palm with a fishing line, quite proudly raising his chin.

Everyone looked at Zhao Ergou with envy. They had been fishing here all morning, and except for fish fry the size of a thumb, they had nothing.

Just like Jiang Wei thought, the river water had just risen not long ago, and it was impossible to have big fish in the river.

Therefore, even if it was just a fish the size of half a palm, it could cause the children's excitement and envy.

However, Zhao Ergou took the fish the size of half a palm to Chunya.

As soon as Chunya saw Zhao Ergou, she immediately retreated two steps defensively.

Zhao Ergou saw Chunya so defensive against himself, and a look of injury and grievance flashed on his face.

But immediately, he stuffed the fish into Chunya's hand, and then turned and ran.

Leaving Chunya who was confused.

Jiang Xiaoxiao laughed directly in the distance.

Haha, didn't expect Zhao Ergou to have such a day.

However, thinking of the last time, he handed the land deed to Zhao Dasao, and then turned and ran, Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sigh.

She could see that Zhao Ergou was slowly getting better.

Without the influence of the scum Zhao Wulai, I hope this child can really change, so that he can give Zhao Dasao some psychological comfort.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that after Zhao Wulai died, Zhao Dasao was indeed sad for a while. Her mother also specially gave her a holiday to go home and rest for a few days, hoping she could figure it out.

Whether Zhao Dasao figured it out, she didn't know, but at least she had cheered up.

Since that time Zhao Ergou handed the land deed to her, Zhao Dasao seemed to have changed into a person, not as hesitant as before, and became vigorous.

She quickly asked Jiang Wei for a few days off, and then found a few helpers in the village to replant those fields with buckwheat.

When Jiang Xiaoxiao saw it, she wanted to stop it. This winter weather is extremely cold, and planting buckwheat is not the best choice, but thinking about it, forget it.

Everyone in the village plants buckwheat, and Zhao Dasao naturally follows the trend to plant buckwheat. If she suddenly proposes not to plant it, surely no one will listen to her.

Moreover, Zhao Dasao can cheer up because of this matter, which is considered a good thing.

At worst, in winter, she will let her mother think of a way to see if there is any way to let these buckwheat safely survive the winter...

Jiang Xiaoxiao sat by the river, holding her chin while thinking, while waiting for the fish to take the

But after waiting for nearly an hour, her fish basket hadn't even moved once.

Some children nearby began to mock her: "Hey, I say, it would be a miracle if someone like you could catch a fish! You don't even have bait; the fish would have to be stupid to swim into that broken basket of yours. You'd better stop wasting your time there, wash up, and go back to sleep, haha..."

Even Chunya couldn't bear to watch anymore and took the initiative to persuade her: "Xiaoxiao, why don't you try another method? Let's not use the fish basket..."

"Hmph, this is a fish basket my mother wove by hand. I say it can catch fish, so it can!" Jiang Xiaoxiao glared at the brat who was mocking her, and then, she reached her hand into the fish basket.

You forced my hand!

With a thought from Jiang Xiaoxiao, the ability water slowly flowed out...
