Chapter 19 Su Luo's goal was achieved

"Good boy, don't cry, Luoluo. Fourth uncle will go with you now. Oh? Stop crying, let's go now!"

Jiang Jiaan decided not to go to the kiln factory in town to work in the afternoon, and to go another day. Today he would stay in the village to accompany his niece and son to go shrimp fishing.

Su Luo achieved her goal and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The three of them came to the big pond together, and Jiang Jiaan found a good place with stone slabs under a big pear tree.

In the morning, people in the village would come here to wash clothes. Now in the afternoon, there is no one here, and it is shady, which is very suitable for shrimp fishing.

"Come on, put the hooks on the side first."

Jiang Jiaan helped them throw the hook down and stuck one end of the wooden stick into the edge of the pond. "Just sit here and wait. When you see the rope and stick move, it means a shrimp has taken the bait."

Su Luo and Xiao Liu sat on either side of Jiang Jiaan, waiting together.

Su Luo chatted with Jiang Jiaan, "Fourth Uncle, did you also fish for shrimp when you were a child?"

Jiang Jiaan's rough face revealed a simple smile. "Haha, of course I fished when I was a kid. Several of your uncles and I did too. We not only fished for shrimp, but sometimes we also went to the ditch to catch fish..."

It was also quite interesting to listen to my fourth uncle talk about his childhood.

In the afternoon shade of the trees, the cool breeze caressed their cheeks, and the mottled sunlight shone through the branches, swaying on their faces.

Su Luo looked at the emerald green water and saw the sunlight in the distance shining and dancing like gold, the rippling water was very beautiful.

"Hey! A shrimp has taken the bait!"

Jiang Jiaan noticed that Su Luo's fishing hook was moving, so he quickly lifted the rod. The end tied to the bait gradually surfaced, and soon he could see a lobster with a red body lying on the bait, feasting on it.

When the lobster was caught, it was still greedily eating the bait.

"This is so big!"

Su Luo was so happy to see the lobster jumping around after being put into the bamboo jar. It was great to have spicy crayfish to eat in the evening.

"Mine's taken the bait, too."

There was also movement on Xiaoliu's side. He pulled up his fishing hook, and on it lay a pair of greedy lobsters.

“There are actually two!”

Su Luo felt that the momentum was good. There were a lot of lobsters in the pond, and they were all stupid.

Xiaoliu picked up the shrimps and Jiang Jiaan helped put them into the bamboo jar. They repeated this fishing process for more than an hour, and their bamboo jars were half full.

Su Luo felt a little depressed when she saw the almost full bamboo jar. What if it was full soon and her fourth uncle had to go to the kiln factory again?

So, Jiang Jiaan and Xiaoliu were concentrating on fishing for lobsters. Su Luo took advantage of their inattention and secretly put the lobsters in the bamboo jar back into the water from behind.

If the lobster could talk, it might complain: Hey, silly, we will be back!

After two hours of fishing, the bamboo jar was not full, but Jiang Jiaan didn't notice anything and continued fishing until an elderly villager came to find Jiang Jiaan.

"Jia'an, are you free now?"

"Uncle Yu, what's the matter?"

"The plow at home is broken. Can you help me fix it? I'm waiting to go to the fields! I can't fix it." said Old Yu.

"Okay, okay, I'll be right there. Wait for me."

Jiang Jia'an put the hook back by the water and explained to Su Luo and Xiao Liu, "Luoluo, Xiao Liu, I need to go help your father, Old Yu, fix the plow. It might take a while, so don't wait for me. You guys keep fishing! You can go back when you're done."

"Okay, Dad!"

"I understand, Fourth Uncle."

Hearing him say that it couldn't be repaired in a short time, Su Luo felt relieved. As long as she didn't go to the kiln factory, it would be fine.

After Jiang Jiaan left, Jiang Xiaoliu looked at the bamboo jar with some doubt, "Sister Luoluo, how come we still only caught so little?"

"That's because the bamboo jar has a big belly. Keep fishing. Come on!" Su Luo laughed.

The two men were concentrating on fishing for lobsters. They didn't know when a few half-grown boys came to the pond.

When they saw Jiang Xiaoliu and Su Luo, they all smiled and whispered for a long time.

"Bang!"

A big rock flew over and hit the water surface, splashing a lot of water and wetting Su Luo and Xiao Liu's clothes.

Su Luo and Xiao Liu wiped the water off their faces and heard someone laughing nearby.

Xiaoliu discovered that it was some naughty kids from the same village who were deliberately causing trouble. He stood up and shouted angrily, "What are you doing? You got us all wet!"

"Hey, Lao Liu, who is that woman next to you?"

The oldest and leader among the children is called Da Wang, Xiao Wang's older brother. His full name is Liu Minghui, 17 years old. He usually robs bird nests and pokes hornet nests everywhere. Today, when he passed by the pond, he happened to see Su Luo and Xiao Liu together.

Boys always try to find ways to attract girls' attention, so they throw stones on purpose.

"My name is not Laoliu, my name is Xiaoliu. She is my sister!" Xiaoliu answered angrily.

"Really, Lao Liu, she is your sister? Where did your sister come from? Don't you only have five cousins?" Da Wang teased with a smile.

The other two boys, Shunzi and Ergou, also started laughing.

"That's right, Lao Liu, you only have a brother, where does your sister come from?"

"Haha, it's really weird that Lao Liu has a sister!"

Jiang Xiaoliu was usually bullied by the older ones, but to prove himself, he blushed and shouted at the top of his voice, "She is my sister, Sister Luoluo, who just came to our house from my hometown. She is my aunt's sister!"

"Your aunt?"

Da Wang was stunned for a second, then realized, "Oh, is that your aunt who eloped with someone? Her daughter? She looks like a shrew!"

"Yes, yes, yellow-faced woman, yellow-faced woman, hahaha..."

Xiao Liu protected Su Luo and started arguing with them, "Don't say that about my sister. My sister is not a shrew. You guys are troublemakers. Get out of here!"

"Haha, Lao Liu is the troublemaker, the troublemaker, the yellow-faced woman, the yellow-faced woman, the troublemaker..."

A few guys standing by the water laughed, which made Jiang Xiaoliu very angry. He was ready to go up and fight with them.

But before Xiaoliu could run over, he saw several stones flying over and hitting the three boys' knees squarely.

After a few "Aiya" sounds, all three boys fell into the pond and began to struggle.

"How dare you sneak attack us..."

Da Wang surfaced and cursed at Su Luo.

Su Luo walked over and looked down at the boys in the water. "Try to curse again?"

"I scolded you, so what? You yellow-faced bastard...ah——"

Before Da Wang could finish his curse, he was hit on the head with a wooden stick.

Su Luo had a very long wooden stick in her hand and hit Da Wang on the head, causing Da Wang to hold his head and cry out in pain.

The other two boys tried to climb out of the water, but were knocked down by Su Luo.

Su Luo will hit anyone who tries to come ashore on the head.

"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me...it hurts!"

The three boys protested, each grimacing in pain.

"You feel the pain now, don't you?" Su Luo snorted coldly and asked, "Do you know what I'm doing?"
