Lin Qingqing said "oh", looked at him again, and obediently moved her hand away from his arm.
As soon as they let go of each other's hands, both of them felt a little reluctant.
Xiao Wen took out a thin hemp rope from his pocket with a lost look, and then used his slender hands to twist it into a rope as thin as needle and thread.
Lin Qingqing had been staring at his hand movements since he was rubbing the hemp rope. She was so focused on watching that she even forgot to speak.
I didn't expect that this man, who was usually very gentle, was no worse than the men doing farm work in the village when doing such rough work.
After twisting the hemp rope, Xiao Wen took off the pin on his body and hit it a few times with a stone as a hammer. The pin turned into a fish hook.
"Okay, now we just need to dig up some earthworms as bait, and the fishhook will be ready."
As soon as he finished speaking, a simple fishing rod was completed.
In this day and age, you can dig out a few earthworms at any time by just turning the soil.
The bait was ready, and next, Xiao Wen threw out the earthworm hanging on the fishhook in a serious manner.
The couple sat by the river for a few minutes when Xiao Wen moved the fishing rod in his hand.
"Xiao Wen, hurry up, you caught a fish." Lin Qingqing, who was sitting next to him, was happier than the person who was fishing.
It was as if she was the one who caught the fish now.
Xiao Wen raised the corner of his mouth, and quickly pulled the fishing line in his hand upwards. As the fishing line came out of the water, a crucian carp weighing almost half a tael was caught on the hook.
"Xiao Wen, you're great. You caught one in one go." Lin Qingqing hurriedly grabbed the fish and gave him a thumbs up with a happy face.
Xiao Wen smiled calmly, took another earthworm and put it on the hook and continued fishing.
I don’t know if his fishing skills are really good, but in less than half an hour, he actually caught more than a dozen crucian carp.
Although each fish is not big, in this era, pork is hard to come by, and this small fish is like a rare meat dish.
I gained something, but also suffered a little.
That is, both of them were bitten by the mosquitoes here on their legs and arms to some extent.
Xiao Wen, who originally wanted to fish some more, saw the woman next to him slapping mosquitoes flying around them with her hands, and finally decided to go home.
On the way back, the two of them pulled up a long grass root from the roadside and strung it through the fish's gills. The fish seemed to be hanging on the grass root, forming a beautiful scene.
Back home.
Everyone was very happy to see the dozen or so crucian carps returned by the couple.
The three little ones, in particular, regretted that they should have followed.
Because everyone had already eaten dinner, Lin Qingqing had no choice but to put them in the water tank in the yard for the time being.
The next day, Lin Qingqing took out ten crucian carp and cooked a bowl of crucian carp porridge.
The crucian carp porridge sprinkled with chopped green onions tastes so delicious.
The whole family ate a crucian carp weighing several taels each. Even though the fish was small and had many thorns, it couldn't stop them from liking the porridge.
After breakfast, as soon as Xiao Wen got in the car to go to work, Lin Qingqing immediately called Xiao Qing out who was washing dishes in the kitchen.
"Let's go and do the serious business I mentioned yesterday."
When Xiao Qing heard this, his face immediately became filled with bitterness.
"I understand." After saying that, she turned around and went to the kitchen to take off her apron.
The two of them quickly left the Xiao family, went to the village entrance, took the bus towards the town.
In town.
Lin Qingqing stood at the door of the post office.
After a while, Xiao Qing walked out from inside.
"How is it? Did you explain it to her clearly?" Lin Qingqing asked immediately when she saw him come out.
Xiao Qing nodded immediately, "I've made it clear, Sister Xinru..." Just as he said this, he received a death stare from his sister-in-law. He shuddered with fear and spoke immediately, "It was Miao Xinru. As soon as Miao Xinru heard that I was going to tell her about my eldest brother, she immediately agreed to come out to meet me. The location is exactly where we agreed to go."
After hearing what he said, Lin Qingqing showed a satisfied smile on her pretty face.
"Let's go, we'll go to that place and wait." She adjusted her clothes in a serious manner.
The two walked on the streets of the town for more than ten minutes and stopped in a newly opened cafe.
In the past, when she was working overtime in the hospital, she would drink coffee as water to stay energetic.
Now that she thinks about it, she is beginning to suspect that it is because of her bad habit that she is wearing this outfit.
But she soon put this suspicion behind her.
Even so, she didn't pursue it. After all, she found a man she loved and three lovely children here.
After entering the cafe, Lin Qingqing asked the waiter for a cup of coffee with sugar.
In this era, there are already many people who start their own businesses.
The cafe where she was sitting now was privately owned and didn't require a ticket, just enough money.
Lin Qingqing drank coffee while watching the people coming in and out.
After she watched about twenty customers coming in and out, she finally saw the person she was waiting for among the twenty-first customer.
Miao Xinru, who had dressed up carefully, came in and was stunned when she saw Lin Qingqing sitting inside.
But she is the eldest daughter of the Miao family after all, and she has seen all kinds of storms. After a brief moment of stunnedness, she quickly recovered and walked towards them as if nothing had happened.
"So it's you who wants to see me." She looked around and didn't see the person she wanted to see. Soon, Miao Xinru understood everything.
Lin Qingqing stood up with a smile, looking at her with a look of unyielding determination, and said, "What's wrong? Are you disappointed that the person you wanted to see is not you?"
Miao Xinru's mouth twitched, and she replied arrogantly, "I have nothing to say to you." After that, she turned around and prepared to leave.
How could Lin Qingqing let her go like this? She immediately took a few steps forward and grabbed her arm.
"Ms. Miao, since you're here, let's have a good chat."
Miao Xinru's eyes flashed with cruelty, and she shook her hand away. "I told you I have nothing to say to you, you don't understand what I'm saying, do you?"
"Of course I can understand what people say, but I don't understand what you say, Miss Miao. You are talking like a mistress, and I, the original wife, can't understand what a mistress says."
"Who are you calling the mistress? I'm not. I grew up with Brother Wen. He and I are a perfect match, and you're the mistress. If you hadn't snatched Brother Wen away, we would have been a couple long ago."
At this moment, she rushed to Lin Qingqing like a madman and shouted loudly.
