I was in my final year of high school, and my deskmate found out I was writing a novel!

"How about we go to Uncle's house for a visit today? We tried to make it last time but failed, so let's eat at Uncle's house this time."

After buying the car, Ye Feng really couldn't stay idle. He wished he could live in the car and would take Su Miaomiao out for a drive every day, just to stroll around!

That day, Ye Feng wanted to go out again. He dragged Su Miaomiao to his uncle's house, ostensibly to eat lobster, but really to show off.

Su Miaomiao knew exactly what he was thinking, but she still agreed. She also wanted to visit Ye Feng's cousin. The two were chatting enthusiastically online, and her cousin had already invited her to come over, saying she would take her fishing!

The two packed up quickly and set off, heading straight for their uncle's house.

When the two arrived, there was no one at the uncle's house; the gate was locked, presumably because everyone had gone to work in the fields.

"Which fishpond are you going to? My cousin is there."

Su Miaomiao looked at her phone and said that she had been chatting with her cousin.

How did you know?

"I'm chatting with my cousin. She said she'd take me fishing. Come on, she's got everything ready."

Since the car couldn't go any further, they parked it directly in front of the uncle's house, and the two of them pushed it to the fishpond.

Before we even got close, we could hear a lot of noise coming from the fishpond.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out they were catching fish; the pond was being harvested today.

"Miaomiao, over here!"

My cousin had already seen them and waved for them to come over.

"We'll be able to go down and catch fish soon. Just wait a little longer, the water will be drained out soon."

My cousin pulled Su Miaomiao away, leaving Ye Feng alone there.

"Uncle."

"You didn't even tell me you were coming. I was busy setting up the fishpond today and didn't have time to entertain you."

"What am I supposed to do? This is just like coming home. I'll help catch fish later!"

"Okay, it'll be ready in a bit. This fishpond hasn't been cleaned in years. It just so happens that someone has come to lease the pond, so I'm planning to dig it up."

As he spoke, he offered Ye Feng a cigarette.

"Uncle, I don't smoke."

"It's good that you don't smoke, we can't quit anyway, it's not a good thing."

We've already used nets to pull them out twice. Now we're just waiting to drain the water, catch all the fish, and then have an excavator remove the silt from the bottom.

Ye Feng didn't bring any equipment. He simply rolled up his trousers and went into the fishpond, dragging a large plastic basin along the side. He picked up any fish he saw and put them in.

"Miaomiao, do it this way, grab the fish head first."

Just then, I saw Su Miaomiao get whipped several times by a fish and the fish still got away, so my cousin started teaching her how to fight.

Although she doesn't do housework at home, she knows how to do these things, since that's what her family does, and she's learned them just by watching.

Watching her cousin skillfully catch fish, Su Miaomiao was filled with admiration, her eyes practically brimming with hearts!

Following my cousin's example, I finally caught a grass carp weighing five or six pounds and put it steadily into the bucket!

"yeah!"

"Miaomiao, come pick up some snails. Mom will stir-fry them later; they're so delicious!"

After catching fish for a while, my cousin dragged Su Miaomiao to collect snails, which were also very delicious.

Ye Feng diligently caught the fish and helped out. There were quite a few fish in the pond, and it wasn't until the afternoon that they had caught almost all of them.

Lunch was just flatbread with cold dishes, because even my aunt was busy here, and no one had time to go back and cook.

"Go wash up and rest for a bit. I'll go fix the screws and we'll cook something for dinner."

After they finished their work, Auntie smiled and told the two of them to go wash up, since they were covered in mud.

The eldest uncle kept looking at Ye Feng's new car; he was genuinely envious!

However, he didn't have a driver's license.

"Wow, you're really generous! This car must cost five or six hundred thousand, right?"

"Yeah, pretty much. School's starting soon, so I'm planning to drive there myself. It'll be more convenient for me to come and go later."

"I thought you'd buy a sports car. Don't you young people like those kinds of cars?"

The uncle didn't think it was expensive for Ye Feng to spend four or five hundred thousand on a car, after all, Ye Feng is also good at making money.

Ye Feng had expected his uncle to lecture him about buying such an expensive car and that he should save the money, but to his surprise, it was this.

"That car looks nice, but it's uncomfortable to drive and too expensive. Maybe I'll buy one someday when I have a hundred million!"

"Haha, you little rascal, but I think you can make a hundred million."

"Just kidding."

After chatting for a while, Ye Feng was relieved to see that his uncle hadn't mentioned his cousin. He figured his cousin hadn't told him either, which was good, saving him the trouble of explaining.

Su Miaomiao isn't clinging to him anymore. She and her cousin are each holding a pair of pliers and pinching the bottom of a screw. Once they cut it, the screw can be sucked out easily, making it convenient to eat.

My older brother didn't come back this time. He's extremely busy there. He was hoping to finish the renovations by the time school starts so he could start doing business right away. But that's probably unlikely. He'll have to wait until at least after the National Day holiday. Things will definitely cool down a bit after the renovations are finished.

"Let's go get some lobsters."

The uncle picked up a bucket, called Ye Feng, and planned to go get some lobsters. Ye Feng rarely asked for them, so he definitely had to oblige.

As soon as Su Miaomiao saw that they were going to catch lobsters, she dropped the pliers and ran over to follow them!

"It's too sunny outside, you should stay home."

Su Miaomiao's face was flushed from the sun and the redness hadn't faded yet. Ye Feng thought he should let her stay inside, since they were all caught in a trap and there wasn't much to see anyway.

"No, no, I'll just go take a look. I'll wear a hat."

She put a straw hat on her head and stared at Ye Feng with her bright, round eyes.

"It's okay, it's not far anyway. If you want to see it, just come and take a look."

Since her uncle has spoken, what other options are there? I wonder if this girl will regret it when she gets home tonight with her skin burning.

The lobster pond wasn't far from the fish pond; we arrived in no time.

There's not much to say. Pull up the rope attached to the stick stuck in the pond, open one end of the fish trap, pour some water into the bucket, and you're done.

He poured out a whole bucket at once, probably weighing ten or twenty pounds.

"Uncle, this is too much, we can't finish it all."

"Take the leftovers home with you, and bring some to your brother's place too. I don't know what they're busy with; they just leave the kids at home and then disappear."

Ye Feng couldn't respond to that. Since his cousin hadn't told his uncle, he wouldn't say anything more.

Su Miaomiao was stunned when she saw so many lobsters in the trap. It was the first time she had ever seen lobsters caught like this!

"That's easy! Then why did my cousin go fishing before? It's much cheaper this way."

"The ponds here are specifically for raising crayfish, that's why there are so many. If it were a fishpond, it would be full of fish."

"Why would the lobster crawl inside?"

"Put some delicious food inside, things that lobsters like to eat, that's the bait."
