Chapter 215 Extra Four (6)
Extra Four (6)
[Mr. Gu has an amazing appetite]
Are boyfriends all over the world the same? They're responsible for the leftovers, hahh.
[This is so real, hahahahahahaha, Mr. Gu doesn't have any idol baggage at all]
After breakfast, the director team assigned a new task:
"Today's mission is... fishing! As usual, if you catch enough fish, you can exchange them with the production team for dinner ingredients, or even a live hen."
Gu Jiangkuo was very interested in the hens: "That's great, this way we can have fresh eggs to eat tomorrow morning." Nuonuo seemed to like the fresh local eggs here very much.
Jiang Nuo said: "Aren't we leaving tomorrow? What do we need a hen for?"
director:"…………"
The director coughed lightly and said, "Mr. Jiang, you forgot. The contract has been renewed. We will continue filming the main film tomorrow."
Jiang Nuo remembered, yes, Jiang Xia called him specifically last night and said that the show would continue for two more days, also in the form of live broadcast, and finally edited into a feature film.
Jiang Nuo: "I remember now, yes."
[What did I hear! Can we continue tomorrow?]
[Unfortunately I have to go to work tomorrow, so I won’t be able to follow the live broadcast. I hope there will be a full episode to watch QAQ]
If you don't slack off at work, you might as well be the boss. I have to watch it anyway, haha ...
Fishing, a relatively quiet sport, was something Jiang Nuo was quite adept at. He even looked forward to it, confidently declaring, "Gu Dajiang, you worked hard yesterday. Today, I'll take care of you."
Gu Jiangkuo also cooperated: "Oh, then I'll rely on Mr. Jiang today."
Jiang Nuo smiled and responded in an official tone, "You're welcome."
The two of them walked to the woodshed, chatting and laughing, and as usual, they saw two new sets of fishing gear in the corner. However, the gear was placed among a pile of rubbish and was covered in dust. Mr. Jiang looked disgusted and was unwilling to take it. Gu Jiangkuo tactfully did it for him.
[This woodshed looks like Doraemon’s bellyband, it has everything you need hahaha]
Can't the production team just hand the tools over to them? Look at Mr. Jiang's disgusted look, haha ...
This damn sense of ritual
[There's quite a lot of stuff here! So professional!]
[No matter how professional he is, he can't be more professional than Mr. Jiang. He is a middle-aged man who fell in love with a useless hobby that costs a lot of money and wastes time.]
[Haha ...]
[Nuonuo is clearly a teenager, with such a youthful face! ]
As expected, Mr. Jiang didn't find it professional. He looked at the fishing rods and other gear with growing disdain: "If I had known about this step, we would have brought our own gear."
[Pfft, the disdain from President Jiang]
【Hahahahahahaha】
[Mr. Jiang: Your props are too cheap]
Speaking of bringing your own fishing gear, Gu Jiangkuo suddenly remembered the unfinished photo shoot from yesterday: "The fishing spot is right by that river. I'll bring my SLR over, just in case I encounter that bird."
Jiang Nuo agreed, but was a little hesitant: "Wouldn't that be too much to carry? It's quite far to walk there." Apart from anything else, a telephoto lens is not easy to carry, and it is really inconvenient to do it without an assistant.
"I'm here." After saying this, Gu Jiangkuo strode directly back to the bedroom. After a while, he came back with a camera bag on his shoulder and refused Mr. Jiang's request to help carry a set of fishing gear. Fortunately, Mr. Gu was tall and strong, and he didn't look like a mobile clothes hanger when carrying so many things. He could still free up one hand to hold Jiang Nuo's hand.
Over the years, the two have become accustomed to holding hands anytime and anywhere.
Jiang Nuo no longer carries the same idol baggage as when they first got married, and she naturally holds Gu Jiangkuo's hand in public.
Today is also a good day with bright sunshine. Walking out of the village and passing by the pile of wheat straw that was warmed by the sun, I saw a group of villagers wearing straw hats working, and occasionally there were children running around to help with the work.
"Celebrity brother!"
"No, it's Uncle Entrepreneur!"
"What are you doing?"
The children who had drunk their milk last night greeted them with laughter.
Jiang Nuo waved to them and said, "Let's go fishing."
"Wow! Can we go see it later?"
“I’m really good at fishing!”
Jiang Nuo was infected by the enthusiasm of these socially adept kids and said with a smile, "Sure."
Then he waved and continued walking towards the river. Gu Jiangkuo muttered, "Why are you so popular? The kids all seem to like you. I was there when they were handing out milk last night. Is it because you're pretty and I'm ugly?"
Mr. Jiang didn't like what he said. "Who said you're ugly? Some people are born with ugly faces, but they just look fierce, that's why they're not ugly. You're very handsome."
"I'm not handsome." Mr. Gu said self-awarely, but he couldn't help but raise the corner of his lips and whispered, "Only you think I'm okay."
Mr. Gu is very handsome! Although his eyes are not big, his nose is high and his facial features are well-proportioned. Just looking at his face, he is much better looking than many so-called celebrities nowadays.
[Mr. Gu, please don't be so insecure. You have such a great figure! ]
[Maybe I'm old, I don't like young and handsome guys, but I like strong and healthy men like Mr. Gu (I'm just a simple pervert, I don't mean that all people in J Province are perverts)]
【Shashasha】
[Hahahahahahahahahaha, ever since the IP address was revealed, everyone's desire to survive has really become strong! ]
[Mr. Gu is really a handsome guy! I love this dark-skinned, muscular guy.]
[Please, Mr. Gu, you have a billionaire fortune! ! ! ! Does your face still matter? ! ! ! !]
【Be confident, Mr. Gu! ! 】
"Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder," said Gu Jiangkuo.
"So you think I'm handsome," Mr. Gu concluded, "because you love me."
【It turned out to be dog food】
Excuse me.
[So I was waiting here]
【As expected of you, Mr. Gu】
After walking through the wheat fields and through the lush green path, we arrived at the river.
The sun was shining brightly today, making the river water shimmer. Yesterday's flock of large white geese were still swimming upstream. Jiang Nuo chose a spot farther away from them, then carefully explained to Gu Jiangkuo, "That side is too deep, that side is too shallow, and both are difficult to fish. There's a small shallow beach here, so you're sure to catch big fish."
Then he took out the equipment one by one: fishing rod, landing net, bucket, small plastic basin, two kinds of dry bait...
The posture is very impressive.
Mr. Jiang became fascinated with fishing about a year ago, having learned it from a business partner. The CEO, a man in his fifties, was overage. He disliked golf, karaoke, women, and, due to health reasons, couldn't drink. He lived a life of pure desire, practically escaping immortality. However, the CEO possessed a patent that the Jiang Group desperately needed. Seeking to find common ground, Jiang Nuo inquired about the man's fishing interests and personally accompanied him on two fishing trips.
As a result, not only was the deal done, but Mr. Jiang himself also fell in love with the recreational activity of fishing.
Sitting among the green mountains and clear waters, you don’t have to play ball and sweat, nor do you have to hike and get tired with back and leg pain. You can breathe fresh air, appreciate the natural scenery, and rest your eyes that have been staring at electronic screens all year round.
It is simply the most suitable exercise for lazy people.
Moreover, as a company president, it is inevitable that he is surrounded by flatterers.
As soon as the news of President Jiang's love for fishing spread, his subordinates looked for opportunities to flatter him in various ways. The circle of friends where Jiang Nuo occasionally posted his "achievements" was filled with exaggerated flattery.
This made Jiang Nuo think that his fishing skills were invincible.
So no worries about dinner tonight.
Gu Jiangkuo had no interest in fishing at all and just helped Jiang Nuo.
"Fill this bucket with water," Jiang Nuo instructed. "We should prepare a fish basket. It's better to hold fish in running water."
Gu Jiangkuo went to fill the water, and Jiang Nuo instructed again: "Pour these two baits into the small basin, yes, a one-to-one ratio, and add a little river water to mix them evenly. ... It's okay to add a little more, but don't pour it all in. You'll need the dry bait to make a nest here later."
[Mr. Jiang looks very professional]
[Help! How can Nuonuo, with her youthful face, say such unprofessional things? It's obvious that middle-aged men are obsessed with fishing [laughing and crying]]
[He blurts out, "making a nest," and he looks so skilled, just like my dad.]
[Looks like dinner tonight is settled! ]
Fishing takes a long time, so is today's livestream all about fishing? That's a bit boring.
I quite like this kind of slow variety show. It's so happy for couples to spend the whole day together.
The so-called "bathing" is a term in the fishing world. It refers to the operation of throwing bait that has been detached from the fishing hook to the fishing spot in order to improve fishing efficiency①. To put it simply, it means throwing a large amount of bait first to attract all the fish, so as to facilitate fishing later.
There are many ways to make a nest. You can throw it by hand, you can throw it with a rod, the richer ones can row a boat to deliver the bait, and rich people like Mr. Jiang have even tried using drones to make a nest.
It was quite cool and shocked the old man fishing in the reservoir.
However, the conditions today are limited, so Mr. Jiang only chose to throw it by hand.
He didn't even throw it himself, but handed it to Gu Jiangkuo: "Throw it hard into the water in front."
[Did you notice? Nuonuo was just giving the orders the whole time, her hands didn't move at all. It was Mr. Gu who was doing all the work, hahahahahahahaha]
[Really, I feel sorry for Mr. Gu for a second hahahahahahahaha]
Gu Jiangkuo continued to work tirelessly to make the nest. Finally, when he had almost finished the work, Jiang Nuo took over the fishing rod himself, put the bait on it, and swung the rod, all in one smooth motion.
The fishing line traced a graceful arc, and the figure-eight ring and lead fishing line fell into the river, creating ripples. The red and white float slowly sank slightly in the green water, suspended in the air.
Holding the slender fishing rod in his bony hands, with a black rod and fair hands, Jiang Nuo sat there, feeling that everything was under his control, with an outstanding temperament.
【Wow, that's pretty cool! 】
[This is the first time I've seen someone fish so beautifully. Is this what beauty means?! ! ! !]
【Green mountains and clear waters, beautiful women】
Ahhhhhhhh, it looks like a painting!!!
【Screenshot】
However, Mr. Jiang's calmness and elegance did not last long,...there were mosquitoes here.
As we all know, there are much more mosquitoes near the water than in other places, and Jiang Nuo's skin is tender, making it particularly easy to attract mosquitoes.
Before Gu Jiangkuo threw his fishing rod into the water, he noticed Nuonuo scratching his calf.
Mr. Gu simply gave up picking up the fishing rod, left a message saying "I'll be back soon", and turned and ran away.
【What is Mr. Gu doing here? 】
When Mr. Gu was running at full speed, the camera could not keep up. Gu Jiangkuo in the camera was seen running farther and farther away, and his figure quickly disappeared. The cameraman was running so fast that the screen was shaking.
【Hahahahahahaha the photographer can’t keep up! 】
[Boss Gu's long legs are really worth it, he runs so fast]
[What are you doing? Why are you in such a hurry?]
Soon, Gu Jiangkuo gave them the answer.
It was a journey of more than 20 minutes, but Mr. Gu only ran for five minutes before turning back. When he returned to Jiang Nuo, he had an extra bottle of Liushen floral water in his hand.
He started to criticize Mr. Jiang fiercely.
The smell was so strong that Jiang Nuo choked and sneezed. Jiang Nuo rubbed his nose and said, "Where did you get the toilet water? I don't remember us bringing any."
"I bought it at the village store." Gu Jiangkuo said, showing a tube of ointment, "and this one, for itching."
He glanced at Jiang Nuo's red calf from being scratched, and said, "Lift your hand. I'll put some medicine on you."
Jiang Nuo simply put the fishing rod on the stand and leaned back on a small portable chair. He rolled up the legs of his knee-length shorts, revealing a section of his thighs. He said a little aggrievedly, "It's really itchy. The mosquitoes here are so poisonous."
The barrage went crazy:
【Aa ...
[So white, shashasha, so white, hehehehe]
[Is it because of the light? It's so white it's blinding!]
[Hahahahahahahahahahahaha, can you guys be a little more reserved? (Screenshot taken)]
[Don't tell me, Mr. Jiang looks thin, but his thighs are a bit fleshy, so sexy. I'm an LSP, I'm facing the wall on my own initiative.]
[The preceding text is subject to a mute warning! ! ! ! ]
[Province S -100 points hahahahahahaha]
Did no one notice that Nuonuo was acting like a spoiled brat just now?! Before Mr. Gu came back, Nuonuo was fine, even killing two mosquitoes with his bare hands. But as soon as Mr. Gu came back, he started acting like a spoiled brat!
【Hahahahahahahahahaha what a scheming person!!!】
[You'd only be willing to play such tricks in front of the person you like, right? Help, these two are so sweet!]
Gu Jiangkuo squeezed the ointment onto his fingertips and gently rubbed it onto Jiang Nuo's legs. He said distressedly, "You've got so many bites in just a short while."
Jiang Nuo stretched out a long "hmm" sound, more like a spoiled child, and whispered: "The mosquitoes here are worse than those in Yanlin."
Gu Jiangkuo took the opportunity to advise: "There are mosquitoes wherever you fish. Last month, you and Mr. Zhang went fishing at the reservoir, and you got bitten all over, didn't you?"
Mr. Zhang is a veteran of Xingxu Metal. He made an indelible contribution to the mass production of high-purity lithium carbonate. However, he retired last year and just took over Mr. Jiang's new hobby. If any other young person asked Nuonuo out for fishing, Gu Cujing would never agree.
Gu Jiangkuo: "In the end, I'll still handle it for you."
[Hmm? How did you handle it? Tell me more.]
【Hahahahahahaha】
[Mr. Gu, please elaborate! We don’t need that little bit of traffic!]
Jiang Nuo said stubbornly: "Maybe it's the wrong season. It will be better in autumn. It's more comfortable to fish in autumn."
"..." Gu Jiangkuo's movements as he applied the medicine on Jiang Nuo's legs became heavier. "Jiang Xiaonuo, I'm warning you. It's okay for people to have hobbies, but if you really become the kind of person who goes out fishing in the middle of the night without caring about who you're with, then I'll..."
Jiang Nuo raised his eyelids: "What about you?"
Gu Jiangkuo couldn't figure it out in the first place, so when he met Jiang Nuo's gaze, he surrendered instantly. He suddenly remembered a sentence he had seen while surfing the Internet, and imitated it, saying loudly: "I won't be with you, the best in the world!"
Jiang Nuo: “………………”
【HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA】
[Is Mr. Gu being seriously funny? ]
[Using the toughest tone and saying the most cowardly words, you are truly worthy of being Mr. Gu, hahahahahahahahaha]
[Laughing to death hahahahahahahahahahahahaha]
Jiang Nuo was also amused and couldn't hold back his laughter: "Gu Dajiang, can you be serious for a moment?"
Gu Jiangkuo squeezed out another dollop of ointment and carefully applied it to Jiang Nuo's last mosquito bite, saying, "No."
"It's enough that you're so serious with outsiders. Why do we have to be so serious with each other?"
What he said made a lot of sense. Jiang Nuo agreed with it and didn't want to refute it.
At this time, a burst of noise was heard. It turned out to be the group of children we met on the ridge of the field before.
Did they really come to watch fishing?
"Did you catch any fish, brother?"
"Uncle, my dad said there are no big fish in this river! It's hard to catch!"
"Brother, my mom asked me to bring you some food! It's a snack for when you get bored while fishing!"
Some called him "brother", some called him "uncle", and there was a lot of chattering, it was very lively. Gu Jiangkuo: "Did you really bring food?" Jiang Nuo looked over and saw two little kids following far behind the crowd. Because they were too young and their legs were too short, they could hardly keep up.
But still trying to run here.
The older children walked faster. Some of them talked to them in a familiar manner, while others were quite shy and stuffed the things in their hands into their hands and ran away.
But in the end, the children didn't stay too long, waving their hands and saying, "We have to go back to help with the work!"
Then they ran back in a mighty manner.
Jiang Nuo and Gu Jiangkuo could hardly hold all the things in their arms. When they opened their arms, they saw hot steamed sweet potatoes, fresh green-skinned apples, and a bag of boiled eggs.
"Perhaps the village adults know about the milk I gave their children last night? Is this a return gift?"
[Wow, so simple! This feeling is so good!]
[People in rural areas are the most simple and honest. My family is just like that. Although we don’t have anything valuable, we will still warmly entertain guests.]
[Mr. Jiang, please invest in this village]
Helping with farm work during summer vacation is so real! It feels like I'm back in my childhood.
Running in the mud without getting scolded, this is what childhood is all about! City dwellers are crying with envy.
"They're so polite! I feel a little embarrassed." Jiang Nuo was a little touched as she held a large bag full of natural and pollution-free "snacks." Then she grasped the key point, "Wait, now that we have food, why would we still fish? We don't need to trade fish for ingredients with the production team!"
【Hahahaha new idea! 】
【Program team: ???】
"That makes sense." Gu Jiangkuo almost threw away his fishing rod. "Then why don't we go take some bird photos?"
But Jiang Nuo stood up and looked behind him, "Wait, there are two more little guests."
The two little kids finally came back panting on their short legs. They were still a little timid when they saw Gu Jiangkuo, but they raised their heads in unison and said in a baby voice, "Uncle, uncle asked us to bring you something too."
As he spoke, one of them raised his short hands and showed two boiled eggs.
"Wow! Thank you." Jiang Nuo squatted down, made a gesture of gratitude to the two little dumplings, and returned the favor by saying, "Do you want some apples?"
The little bald man's saliva almost immediately flowed out, and his big eyes lit up, "Hmm!"
But the little pigtailed girl stopped him: "Uncle said, you can't ask uncle for food anymore, you have to be polite!"
Hearing the two little kids calling him "Uncle" all the time, Jiang Nuo couldn't help but ask casually, "Do you live with Uncle? Where are Mom and Dad?"
In the past, Jiang Group invested a lot in real estate. Mr. Jiang had met many migrant workers. It was difficult for them to balance work and family life while working in the city. Many of them left their children to be taken care of by their grandparents or other relatives in their hometown.
Jiang Nuo thought that the two little kids were in the same situation. It was pitiful that they couldn't see their parents at such a young age.
Unexpectedly, the two children said clearly: "We don't have parents anymore. After grandpa passed away, we took turns going to our uncles' homes for dinner."
Jiang Nuo: “?!”
Even Gu Jiangkuo was a little shocked. He exchanged a glance with Jiang Nuo, then squatted down and said as gently as possible, "Little friend, what does it mean when grandpa says 'gone'?"
The little bald boy actually showed an expression like a little adult, and said in a baby voice: "How come you don't even know this? He just passed away!"
Gu Jiangkuo: “…”
Jiang Nuo felt a complex excitement in his heart, but he felt that this excitement was inappropriate, so he asked calmly: "Who are these uncles? Are they relatives, or neighbors?"
The little pigtailed girl actually showed a hint of sadness: "It was the neighbor uncles and aunts who were kind-hearted and gave us food."
