Chapter 28 Really changed
Li Changkuan was the youngest child in his cousin's family and one of his bad friends. They became estranged after they got married.

He is the kind of person who likes to work hard but is forgotten by the God of Wealth. He doesn't make money doing anything, and after working hard for a year, he only has enough to feed his family.

Li Changkuan was itching to use it, "Quickly lend me your landing net."

Li Changle thought that he had not yet collected all the fish in the saline-alkali land, so he gave him the scoop net and said, "I will collect a bunch of fish, and you will return it to me."

"Don't worry, I'll return it to you right away!" Li Changkuan took the scoop net and started working impatiently. Chen Yongwei saw his competitor coming and secretly pointed at the valuable fish and scooped it up.

Li Changle picked up a bunch of fish from the saline-alkali land and went to get his own scoop net. Li Changkuan grabbed him and refused to let go. "Ah Le, I'll give it back to you if I catch two more nets!"

“Just two nets!”

"Yes! Just two nets." Li Changkuan responded without stopping for a moment. He scooped up two nets and walked forward with the scoop net.

"Get lost, two nets, how many have you caught? Go home and get them yourself!" Li Changle snatched the nets, thought about it and warned, "Go back quietly, when people come later, we won't have anything to do with you or me."

"Oh! Keep an eye on my fish and don't let them run away." Before Li Changkuan finished speaking, he had already run far away.

"Ah Wei!" Li Changle hurriedly shouted to Chen Yongwei, "Hurry up. Ah Kuan, that big mouth, will definitely go and call his brother and his relatives, and then all the aunts and uncles, and we will have no chance to deal with the fish in the pond."

"Okay!" The two brothers sped up their pace. It would take some time for him to go back, so they both pointed at the expensive one.

Although it is said to be expensive, it is only one or two dimes or two or three dimes. It makes me depressed just thinking about it!

What Li Changle and the others didn't know was that half an hour later, countless flashlights would rush towards the pond bank closest to their home.

For a while, the pond bank was bustling with people, and the excitement was no different from the time when people picked water chestnuts and fish during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

After more than half an hour, both sides of the long pond bank were crowded with people.

Chen Yongwei watched as more and more people came over with flashlights and cursed, "Why did we run into that big mouth of Ah Kuan? Brother, we should give him a landing net so he can fish."

Li Changle laughed and said, "That kid, even if you give him the scoop net, he will go back and call his brothers to come."

Chen Yongwei recalled that when he was a child, he and his three brothers went to the mountains to chop firewood and found some wild chestnuts. They agreed to pick them up together the next day. But that guy went home and called his three brothers to pick all the wild chestnuts.

"You're right, that guy has no loyalty at all! Brother, work harder and get as much as you can!"

"Dad, Dad, we are here to help you."

"Dad, there are so many fish in the pond. How many did you catch?"

Hearing the shouting, Li Changle turned his head and saw Li Xiaohai holding a flashlight. Behind him was Zhou Ruonan carrying a backpack with Li Xiaozhou standing inside. The mother and her two children were squeezing through the crowd and walking towards him.

The villagers who were fishing said to Zhou Ruonan with envy, "Teacher Zhou, your little guy is still worried that his father didn't catch any fish. A Kuan said that he and A Wei were the first to find it. I don't know how long they have been fishing here. Look, the fish over there have piled up like a small mountain."

Zhou Ruonan smiled and said, "They were originally planning to go to the pond to set traps, and they happened to meet them."

Li Xiaohai and his brother ran to Li Changle and saw the fish piled up in the saline-alkali land. They asked excitedly, "Dad, did you catch all these?"

"Dad and Uncle Awei caught them together." Li Changle proudly took Li Xiaozhou out of the backpack, "Luckily you guys are here, I was worried about how to get so many fish back!" Zhou Ruonan looked at the pile of fish and said happily, "Luckily my sister-in-law asked me to bring two oilcloth bags and sacks, otherwise they wouldn't fit."

"Not only here, there are more in the pond." Li Changle proudly pulled up the net bag tied to the shore, "We put the perch, mullet, and eel into the net bag and raised them in the pond, so that they won't die and we can't sell them at a high price."

Li Xiaohai began to admire his father and felt that since his father started making money, he had become smarter than before.

"Wow! So many!" Li Xiaozhou stretched his neck to look at the fish in the net bag and asked curiously, "Dad, how many net bags did you bring?"

"Dad brought two, Uncle Awei brought one, all three are full." Li Changle took the oilcloth bag from Zhou Ruonan's hand, scooped half the bag of water from the pond, put it on the backpack, and then poured the fish in the net bag into the backpack.

The second net bag was only half emptied when the backpack was filled up. The backpack was crammed with fish, which looked like about 70 or 80 kilograms.

Zhou Ruonan handed the flashlight to Li Xiaozhou, and took Li Xiaohai to put the fish in the saline-alkali land into the net bag. Chen Yongwei came over with the net bag, "Brother, we won't squeeze with them. Let's take the fish in the net bag to Adong's house to sell it first."

"Okay!" Li Changle handed him the oilcloth bag, "Bring your backpack over here, put the oilcloth bag on it to hold the fish."

"Okay!" Chen Yongwei took out the traps and bait from the backpack. A foul smell instantly spread in the air. "Brother, what should we do with these traps? If it doesn't rain tonight, the bait will be useless."

Li Changle thought about it and felt that it would be better to go to the seaside to set the traps instead of selling the fish first. "We will send the fish to the dock to sell them, and then go to the reef beach to set the traps."

Zhou Ruonan interrupted, "Ah Le, it's already past nine o'clock, and the tide has risen. Why don't we just forget it?"

Li Changle thought that it was still early after nine o'clock, "It would be a pity if we don't use these baits. Let's sell the fish and go to the pond to catch them."

Zhou Ruonan glanced at him and felt that this man had really changed. If she had said this in the past, he would have immediately agreed.

"Okay!" Chen Yongwei happily started to work. The fish in the three net bags just filled two backpacks. He tied the sacks full of fish with hemp ropes and placed them horizontally on the backpacks. "Brother, I'll carry these back first, and then I'll pick you up."

"Put the dead fish outside my door when you get back, and send the live fish to Adong's house first. I'll follow you back."

"okay!"

Li Changle helped pick up the fish from the saline-alkali land and put them into sacks. The two of them lifted the sacks onto the backpacks, placed them in place, squatted down and carried them on their backs. "You guys wait here for Awei to come get the traps."

Zhou Ruonan saw that all the fish had been taken away, "No need, tell A Wei not to come, I'll take the trap and the scoop net home."

"It stinks..."

"It's okay!" Zhou Ruonan picked up the trap and bait and said to Li Xiaohai, "Hold your brother and follow mother."

"Oh oh!" The two brothers hurriedly followed.

On the way back, the villagers they met looked at them with envy, "Ah Le is so lucky today! All the good things happened to him."

"Yes, the first person to go to the puddle didn't catch anything, but when he went there, he found something..."
