The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China

early morning.

There is still mist floating on the Jialing River, and the rising sun is refracted with a dense red light. There is peace and silence in the surrounding fields.

Little Lingjun carried a bamboo fish basket and ran quickly towards the river. The slope of the mountain city is extremely steep, not to mention the river below. Meng Xiaodong was so frightened that he quickly chased and shouted: "Slow down, slow down, don't fall into the water!"

"Mom, hurry up, I'm going to catch a lot of big fish today!" Xiao Lingjun turned around and giggled.

Zhou Hexuan held the hand of his son Wei Lie and held his youngest daughter Chunxi in his arms. Vivien Leigh followed behind him holding several fishing rods. Next is Liao Yaquan, who is responsible for taking care of the two naughty guys Shuo Ming and Yang Bi.

As for Zhang Leyi and Cui Huifu, the two women were still busy at home and had no time to come to the riverside to join in the fun.

The family came to the private simple pier. Xiao Lingjun put down the fishing basket, held up the fishing rod and shouted anxiously: "Dad, hang earthworms for me quickly, I want to catch a lot of big fish."

"Give me Reba." Vivien Leigh stretched out her hands and said.

Reba is the nickname of the youngest daughter Zhou Chunxi's English name Rebecca. The little one has just turned two years old and is born with a beautiful face, especially a pair of extremely charming blue eyes.

Compared with the liveliness of his sister Zhou Lingjun, Zhou Chunxi seems extremely quiet and introverted. Ever since she could walk, she had become her sister's little follower. She would follow little Lingjun wherever he went without saying much, just following him like a little tail.

Zhou Hexuan handed his younger daughter to Vivien Leigh and helped his eldest daughter hang the bait with a smile. Zhou Shuoming and Zhou Yangqian were fighting nearby. The two brothers were enemies and fought every day for various reasons. Liao Yaquan's son Yangqian was often the one who was beaten to tears.

Everyone just sat on the pony and started fishing comfortably by the river.

Vivien Leigh was focused on her daughter Rebecca and didn't even look at the buoy in the water. Zhou Hexuan will go to Germany to watch the Olympic Games in a few days, and she is also planning to take her daughter back to the UK. Ornis is already thinking about her granddaughter like crazy.

After that, Vivien Leigh decided to go to Hollywood to make a movie. The movie version of "Gone with the Wind" has been approved, and Zhou Hexuan appointed Vivien Leigh as the heroine.

Blind man A Bing was also supported by his wife and came to the riverside. He came to play the flute for fun. Morning, rising sun, river, fishing, flute sound...the combination of these elements has the artistic conception of pastoral landscape painting, at least that's what Zhou Hexuan thinks.

The melodious flute sounded, and Xiao Lingjun stared at the buoy quite impatiently. From time to time he would pull the rod to look at the bait, and kept asking: "Dad, why are there no fish yet?"

Little Wei Lie is much more steady. He looks at the buoy without blinking. He is very patient and is a born fisherman.

Several fishing boats were rowed on the river. The fishermen of the Jialing River have been working for a long time. They drove a kind of awning boat, which was different from the awning boat written by Lu Xun. The awning was shorter and rowed by two wooden oars.

"It's strange, Zhou Shenxian also fishes!" a fisherman said with a smile.

The fisherman named Mei Laokan said with disdain: "You can only catch a fish with a shovel if you're just fishing."

Others laughed and said: "Maybe Zhou Shenxian has some magical skills and can catch seven or eight fish with one rod."

Mei Laokan couldn't stand it anymore, so he rowed to the shore and reminded: "Mr. Zhou, you can't catch fish like this."

"Then how to fish?" Zhou Hexuan asked curiously.

Mei Laokan explained: "When fishing in the morning on a hot day, you should fish in shallow water. The water at the pier is too deep. Fish are easily frightened in the morning, so don't throw bait and make nests, and don't talk loudly. If there is a slight noise, the fish will be attracted." They are going to be scared away. You are playing the flute and playing haha, and you are scaring away all the fish."

When three people are together, there must be a teacher. Zhou Hexuan finally realized what Confucius felt back then, and said sincerely: "Thank you for reminding me, I didn't expect that there are so many ways to fish."

"There are many ways," Mei Laokan said proudly, "It depends on the speed of the water and the depth of the water. The weather is different, the hot and cold are different, the time is different, and the fishing methods are different. On this hot day When fishing in the morning, the fish are bored and hungry. They like to run to shallow water for air and bite the hook when they see something to eat. You should find a shallow water area, place the hook shallower, and don't talk loudly. One fish will be there in a while. Very good fishing.”

"That's it," Zhou Hexuan said with a smile, "Why don't you teach us how to fish."

Mei Laokan shook his head repeatedly: "I don't have time, fishing is important, and the mother-in-law and children in the house need to eat."

Zhou Hexuan said: "I will pay you five yuan to be a teacher for a day."

"Five dollars, if you want it, you can get it." Mei Laokan's face turned red with joy.

When the other fishermen heard this, they immediately regretted it and wished they could replace it. They sighed and said, "Mei Laokan made a fortune today."

"Zhou Shenxian is generous with his actions, so generous."

"Why didn't I get there just now? Those five dollars are mine."

"..."

Zhou Hexuan smiled and waved: "Everyone has one, bring all the boats over!"

This made the fishermen extremely happy. They paddled frantically towards the dock and docked in unison to wait for orders.

Zhou Hexuan was afraid that the children would have accidents, so he tied a rope around each child's waist. If they fell into the water, they could be rescued by simply pulling the rope.

Five or six fishing boats rushed out in a mighty manner and found several shallow water places. The fishermen taught them how to throw the bait and then taught them how to pull the rod step by step.

Soon the fish took the bait, and Xiao Weilie learned the fastest. In less than 20 minutes, he caught three fish. Xiao Lingjun's side was not going well. Except for the help of fishermen to catch one, she didn't get anything.

After a full 40 minutes, Xiao Lingjun finally opened his mouth, holding a small fish two fingers wide, jumping up and down with joy and shouting: "Dad, mom, aunt, brother, sister... Look, I'll catch it." What a big fish!”

The narrow fishing boat was rocked by the jump, and the frightened fishermen hurriedly held Xiao Lingjun's shoulders. She had no choice but to change the place. The fish here had been scared away by her.

By noon, everyone had harvested a lot. They had caught at least seven or eight kilograms in total, and they happily took the boat back to the dock.

Xiao Lingjun separated the fish he caught alone, saying that he would take them home and keep them, and no one was allowed to kill them and eat them. Zhou Hexuan had to dig a small fish pond in the courtyard. Others raised goldfish, but their family raised river fish.

The fishermen were speechless. Summer mornings were a good time for fishing, and they could catch so much in just a few nets. If you are lucky enough, you can catch more than ten kilograms of fish in one net.

Now Zhou Hexuan paid twenty or thirty yuan and messed around all morning, but he still looked so happy.

The fishermen are completely incomprehensible because 30 yuan can buy 800 kilograms of fish in Chongqing...

As expected, it was Zhou Shenxian, who was different from what ordinary people thought.

When those fishermen returned home at night, they immediately began to tell stories vividly. In the stories, Zhou Shenxian often appeared as the villain.

Within a few days, various rumors about the Zhou family became interesting topics for local residents in Liziba. From time to time, people come to sell eggs, duck eggs, etc. Anyway, the mysterious aura of Zhou Shenxian has gradually dissipated, and the locals have begun to accept them.
