1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 1674 The fishing rod was almost dragged away

Lu Weijun took a deep breath to calm himself down before speaking: "It's like this, my brother-in-law and his family are moving and they're having a housewarming party in a few days. There will probably be more than a dozen tables. You're good at fishing, could you please help me out and get a few fresh fish for me first thing that morning?"

Chu Xue hadn't expected that she had come to see her because of this matter. She wanted to suggest that he try his luck at the market, but remembering the last time she had taken someone else's ride, she swallowed her words and said, "Okay, whenever you need it, you can pick it up yourself at Shichahai."

Lu Weijun had achieved his goal, and a smile appeared on his lips. "Okay, then it's settled. I'll come to Shichahai to find you first thing next weekend."

Chu Xue nodded: "If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

Lu Weijun couldn't find a reason to keep her any longer, so he could only nod to her and say, "See you on the weekend."

Having finally found a secluded spot near Shichahai, Chuxue, after confirming it was safe, took out her fishing gear from her spatial storage.

After casting her line, Chu Xue leaned against a large tree and inexplicably thought of Lu Weijun, feeling that the man was somewhat strange.

With the homemade bait as a lure, there was soon some activity. Luckily, Chuxue came to her senses quickly, or the fishing rod would have been dragged away.

Several people gathered around while she was playing with the fish. When they saw that the fish in the water was quite big, someone ran over to get a landing net, wanting to help her scoop the fish up.

When they saw the fish swimming underwater, everyone exclaimed in surprise, "This fish must weigh about fifteen or sixteen pounds. We're incredibly lucky!"

When the person with the net came over, the fish was still struggling, but it was too weak to continue and was quickly scooped up.

Chu Xue didn't bring a bucket to hold the fish, and was worried that the fish were too big to carry back.

Then someone spoke up: "Comrade, shall we trade this fish?"

Chu Xue replied without hesitation, "I'll change it, but I only want rare coupons, such as milk powder coupons, cigarette and alcohol coupons, or high-end non-staple food coupons. Right now, besides the triplets, there's also my eldest sister's Junjun and my younger brother Xiaoshitou, plus my mother-in-law's side. No matter how many non-staple food coupons we have, we won't have enough."

The man chuckled, "I do have those tickets you're looking for, but I don't have many of each kind. However, I have other tickets here, so feel free to take anything else you need." As he spoke, he pulled out a thick stack of tickets from his jacket pocket, clearly having come prepared.

Chu Xue didn't stand on ceremony with him. Besides what she had just mentioned, she also took out a few cloth coupons and sugar coupons: "Comrade, these are enough. By the way, how are you going to take such a big fish back?"

The middle-aged man was surprised that the young girl was not greedy. Among his pile of tickets were receipts for four large items, but she hadn't touched a single one: "I rode my tricycle over. There are buckets on the tricycle. I'll go get them now."

While the man went to get the bucket, Chu Xue filled the bait and cast her line again.

When the comrade pushed the tricycle over, he saw the top float and quickly pointed to the water: "Quick, quick, it's floating!"

It all happened in the blink of an eye; it hadn't happened just a moment ago, only when Chuxue heard the noise and turned around.

Chu Xue acted quickly and pulled the fish over in one smooth motion.

No wonder it didn't take much effort; this fish was much worse than the previous one, probably weighing only three or four pounds.

Chu Xue didn't want anything too big; she just wanted to send two fish, each weighing three or four pounds, to her mother-in-law. There was no need for anything too big.

It was too hot that day, and the fish wouldn't keep well, so we ate it all in one meal.

Seeing that she was catching fish again, the person who had helped her scoop the fish earlier came over to help again.

Moreover, this person even helped the man who had exchanged fish earlier to put the fish on the tricycle before returning to his own position.

Chu Xue couldn't help but think: This person is really kind-hearted.
