Traveling through time and space, wanting to lie down, but being forced to move forward

Chapter 252 Winter Fishing Mobilization

Liu Jingxue was talking to Tuanzi in the space about the next stage of cultivation plan, but was told that all the female educated youth at the educated youth point, except Qin Fang who had returned home and Wang Lihua with whom she had an argument, came to visit together.

He was holding an ice sled and a snowmobile, and it seemed that he was here to invite her to go ice skating with him.

"Tuanzi, you said before that you were worried that I would be too obsessed with cultivation and become uncomfortable. Now it seems that your worry is completely unnecessary.

I guess these people are very interested in skating, and I think they will come to me often to ask me to go skating with them in the future.”

"So are you planning on playing with them?"

"Go, why not.

From now on, I will play with them for an hour or two every day, which will be a way for me to pass the time after practicing."

Liu Jingxue left the space, picked up her cotton coat and trousers from the kang, put them on, and ran to open the door.

When I opened the door, I saw five female educated youth standing outside the courtyard gate, wrapped up tightly with only their faces exposed.

Seeing Liu Jingxue coming out, Zhang Yingchun quickly said, "Xiaoxue, let's go ice skating together.

It snowed for a few days and I forgot how to ice sled.”

Xia Lan waved the ice sled in her hand and added, "Xiaoxue, this is your ice sled, the children gave it to you.

We brought it to you.”

"You guys go in and wait for me. I'll put on a hat, scarf, and gloves and go with you." Liu Jingxue invited a few people to go into the house and wait.

"I won't go in. It will be hot if I wear so many clothes. I have to take off my coat and put it on again.

It's troublesome to take it off and put it on again." Yu Li refused.

When the others heard this, they thought it made sense and refused to enter the house.

When Liu Jingxue saw this, she didn't force him, "Then wait for me here, I'll be out soon."

She hurried back to the house, put on all her going-out gear, locked the door, and reunited with the others.

After closing the gate, she still locked it.

This is to prevent others from coming and knocking on the door for a long time and not getting any answer, only to then realize that there is no one inside.

A group of six people came to the village's already frozen river and skated with the children.

Liu Jingxue used her spiritual sense to scan the entire river surface and confirmed that it was completely frozen. The shallowest part of the ice was 30 to 40 centimeters thick, and only then did she feel relieved.

With this thickness, it is fully capable of supporting them to have fun on it.

There were three ice sleds and one sled for six people, which was more than enough for them to play.

Several people took turns playing and all had a great time.

After Liu Jingxue played with them for almost two hours, she left her ice sled for them to use and went back to practice.

The next morning, several people from the educated youth point were preparing to go ice skating with Liu Jingxue, but they heard the sound of gongs and trumpets as the team leader called the villagers to a meeting.

Several people finally gathered at the sunbath.

It is not a pleasant experience to wait in such a cold wind for people to gather for a meeting.

Fortunately, the villagers knew very well that the captain must have gathered everyone for winter fishing at this time, so they did not delay for too long and soon everyone had arrived.

The captain has never been a decisive person, so when he saw this situation, he started a meeting.

“As you all may have guessed, we gathered everyone here at this time for the winter fishing.

The time has been set, it's tomorrow.

I already made an appointment with Yubatou yesterday."

The captain looked in the direction of the crowd and said, "Ge Dazhuang, you should go and harness the car tonight, and take the people to Liugouzi in the second half of the night to pick up the fish head.

You better be careful and take good care of the fish's head.

If we offend him, he will secretly trip us up, and the loss will be huge."

Militia captain Ge Dazhuang quickly responded from below, "Captain, don't worry about me.

I will take good care of the fish head and let him find a good place for us to cast the net."

When the captain heard this, he nodded with satisfaction.

“I have also borrowed the tractor for pulling the fish and the horse for pulling the capstan.

When the time comes, people will go directly to the river to find us.

We must go early, otherwise our team members won’t be there when the helpers come.”

"Captain, what time do we gather tomorrow morning and set out over there?" a villager asked.

The team leader replied, "All the strong men in the village, gather at the sun dam at 4 o'clock tomorrow morning and set out together."

"Captain, the people responsible for digging the ice cave will still be the same people as last year, so just divide them into those groups.

Let's settle it sooner rather than later, so as to avoid wasting time and hassle tomorrow morning."

The captain nodded, "That's fine."

At this time, Zhou Wenbing hurriedly shouted at the gathering of educated youth, "Captain, educated youth Zheng Jianmin has gone home to visit his family and cannot go.

My cotton coat is not thick enough. I was freezing last year and was sick for several days after returning. I can’t make it this year.”

The captain nodded and said, "Okay, then you don't go."

As a result, the digging team is short of two people, but it doesn’t matter, we can just find two more villagers to fill the gap.

The captain looked at Zhou Wenbing and asked, "Zhou Zhiqing, were you in the same drilling team as Zheng Zhiqing last year?"

"No, I'm in Group 4, and Zheng Zhiqing seems to be in Group 6."

"Captain, ask Liu Zhiqing if he wants to participate.

She is so strong that she can match the strength of several people."

When the captain heard this, he thought, yes, how could he have forgotten Xiaoxue.

"Is Xiaoxue here?" the captain shouted to the people below.

The main reason was that it was winter and everyone was wearing warm clothes. Many people didn’t even show their faces, leaving only their eyes exposed, so it was impossible to tell who was who.

When Liu Jingxue heard that the captain was looking for her, she quickly raised her hand and waved, "Captain, I'm here."

The captain looked over and asked, "Xiaoxue, are you going to join the winter fishing tomorrow morning?"

When Liu Jingxue was in modern times, she had only seen videos of winter fishing in Chagan Lake on the Internet, and she was shocked by the huge harvest at the time.

If she had the chance to participate in person, she would never miss it.

She couldn't hide her excitement and said, "Captain, I'll join in."

But she didn't know what the hole mentioned earlier was for, so she asked, "Captain, what is the purpose of digging a hole?"

One villager explained faster than the team leader, "Liu Zhiqing, digging a hole means using a drill to make a gap in the ice on the river surface so that we can lower the net and collect it."

Although she didn't know how to set the net, collect the net, and follow the net, Liu Jingxue understood it all.

Given her strength, she is indeed capable of doing this.

She said to the captain, "Captain, I'm in charge of digging the hole. Who will you assign me to work with?"

This is what Li Jun, the leader of the fourth production team, shouted, "Captain, our fourth drilling team is missing Zhou Zhiqing, so let's put Xiaoxue in our team.

Everyone in our group has worked with her to carry food, so we are already familiar with each other."

The captain nodded and said, "Okay, then Xiaoxue will go to the fourth group."

"The sixth group is still short of one person to fill the vacancy left by Zheng Jianmin, the educated youth.

Anyone below who didn’t join the oil-making group last year, please sign up.”

"Captain, I'll go," someone below raised his hand and shouted.

The captain took a closer look and said, "It's a fool, then you'll be the one.

Under the claim of Group 6."

The six groups of villagers below immediately waved and said, "Erganzi, you're in my group.

Come find me tomorrow morning and I'll take you to find the others."

The captain instructed, "Those who are responsible for digging the ice cave, remember to eat well before setting out, so as not to be too tired and miss the task.

Also remember to bring some food to fill your stomach tomorrow, as you will probably be back in the afternoon and won’t be able to make it in time for lunch.

Others should check our team's fishing nets and winches today and repair those that need repairing as soon as possible."

The villagers below quickly responded, "Captain, we got it."

"We have finished discussing this matter. Let's go and do whatever we need to do," the captain announced the adjournment of the meeting.
