Zhao Guihua and her group went up the mountain to catch fish. This was quite different from their usual outings, but they didn't come back empty-handed, as they did manage to catch some. They worked together and divided the catch equally among themselves, with each person getting four fish.
Zhao Guihua and Liang Meifen were a family, so that made eight fish for them.
Their "team" had caught quite a few fish, as the pond was abundant with them. However, the problem was that there were too many people trying to catch fish. Everyone wanted a piece of the action, and it was no small crowd. Taking the bus to catch fish wasn't really practical either, considering the cost of the round trip.
Going up the mountain didn't guarantee a big catch.
If you only managed to catch one fish, it felt like a wasted day, and it wasn't much fun.
