Chapter 1167 Carp
Sunuo slept soundly in the morning. Although there were people talking downstairs from time to time, the feeling was naturally different when he returned to his room.
Sunuo woke up once at around six in the morning.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Lu Hongxuan looking at me.
"Are you awake? Are you up? What time is it?" Sunuo was a little confused and thought it was eight or nine o'clock.
"It's still early, not even seven o'clock! You should sleep a little longer!" Lu Hongxuan was afraid that Su Nuo would be cold, so he tightened the quilt around her.
"Okay!" Sunuo heard him say this, closed his eyes and fell asleep again.
When I woke up again, it was already past eight o'clock.
After washing his face and brushing his teeth in the bathroom, Sunuo went downstairs wearing a thick down jacket.
Seeing Lu Hongxuan killing fish on the cement floor outside the house, Su Nuo thought he was dazzled.
What's going on? Doesn't he not eat fish? I've rarely seen him kill fish... No, I haven't seen him do that.
Sunuo looked outside and saw that there seemed to be many people gathered around the pond.
"Is Sunuo awake?" Grandma smiled and called her when she saw Sunuo. "I left breakfast for you. It's in the rice cooker. Go and eat it!"
"What's going on outside?" Su Nuo was a little curious.
"The New Year is coming soon. Your father and uncle said they would use nets to clean the pond so that we can have fish to eat during the New Year. They will also smoke some fish and meat to give away as gifts."
"So that's how it is!" Su Nuogang had guessed this, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people gathered there.
After quickly eating, Sunuo also went over to watch them fishing.
Because the pond is owned by our family and a few uncles, we put fish fry in it every year.
I cast a few nets and had a pretty good harvest.
Many people even come to buy fish.
When Sunuo went over, he only saw a dozen fish, and a large one lying on the ground.
"I think this carp weighs more than 10 kilograms. Take it back and put it in the tank. It will be just right for eating during the Chinese New Year!"
Grandma Su was very happy when she saw the big carp.
Originally, I wanted to catch carp this time, but I didn't expect to catch dozens of carp of all sizes. There were also crucian carp, black carp, and chain fish...
The younger uncle and the fourth uncle immediately carried the largest carps to the yard behind the kitchen. There was a large tank in the yard, which was originally used to store water. Now that there is running water, it is used to raise fish. Usually, the uncles often come back and go fishing every time they come back. There are always fish in the water tank at home.
The onlookers all laughed and said.
"Is this carp probably ten kilograms?"
"I don't think it's that big! Maybe around eight pounds!"
"Impossible, it must be ten kilograms!"
"This is such good luck! There must be a lot of fish eggs in this belly, which means there will be plenty every year!"
Here, we cook a carp for the New Year's Eve dinner and the lunch on the first day of the new year. So everyone was very happy to see such a big carp.
After taking a look at the fish, Su Nuo turned around and went back to Lu Hongxuan.
"It's quite lively!" Lu Hongxuan had already killed all the fish and was scraping the scales.
"That's right! This happens almost every year at home." Sunuo said with a smile. "Why did you suddenly come to kill fish?"
"Dad and uncle are going to cast the nets. I don't know how to do that, but I can do this a little bit, so I came here to kill the fish."
Lu Hongxuan had just watched the catch and found it quite interesting. Grandma said she wanted to kill these fish and smoke them, so he came over to help kill the fish when he saw everyone was busy.
Grandma had just stopped him from killing, saying how could he do this.
