New work out now, welcome everyone to read my work on Tomato Nov...

Chapter 121 Fishing to Vent

Goudan stuck out his tongue mischievously and said cleverly, "Okay, I will definitely wear it."

"Goudan, do you want to go out and play? We are going to go to the fields outside to roast sweet potatoes. If you come, we will bring a few more sweet potatoes." The man who had just stood at the door shouted to Goudan in the house.

When Goudan heard the voice, he quickly ran to the door: "Are you going now? But I have to help my mother with wool winding, so I may not be able to go."

"It's okay, just go and play! Your dad and I can take care of the yarn winding work." Zeng Wenjuan wanted to go when she heard Goudan say this. He could only make things worse at home anyway, so he might as well go out and play.

"Mom and Dad, let's go out and play!" Goudan said happily while holding his hand.

"Wait a moment." Zhao Jianguo called out to the two of them.

Zeng Wenjuan looked at Zhao Jianguo and said, "Just let them go out and play! There's nothing to do at home anyway."

"I wanted to get them something to eat," Zhao Jianguo explained to Zeng Wenjuan, then he went to the cupboard and got a handful of nougat. He pushed his wheelchair to the door and put the nougat in the pockets of the two children's coats: "Go and share it among yourselves."

"If there is not enough, Goudan, don't eat it. There is more at home. Your brothers share food with you, so you should share with them too, right?" Zhao Jianguo reminded Goudan again.

Goudan agreed without quite understanding, and the two little guys left hand in hand.

"Your parents are so nice to give you so many candies. Let's eat one first! We can just give one less later." He said to Goudan as they walked down the stairs.

"These two little guys, they just thought about eating as soon as they went out, and they didn't even think about walking far away first." Zeng Wenjuan said with some amusement after hearing what was said just now.

"All children are like this, especially those of their age. But it's also good for them to play together now. When they grow up, they will be lifelong friends." Zhao Jianguo said to Zeng Wenjuan while slowly winding the wool in his hands.

"You're right. Children all have their own destiny. We as parents just need to guide them from the beginning and don't need to worry about too much. The more we control them, the more rebellious they will be when they grow up." Zeng Wenjuan talked about her own parenting experience.

"It can't be wrong, our child can't be wrong. You can tell a person's future from the age of three. Goudan has been smart since birth and knows how to love his mother." Zhao Jianguo said with a faint smile on his face.

Zeng Wenjuan also thought that when Goudan was just born, she had no milk and Goudan could only eat milk powder. Fortunately, Zhao Jianguo listened to the experience of his comrades who had babies, exchanged a lot of milk powder tickets, and brought back three bags of milk powder.

Every time Zeng Wenjuan fell asleep, Goudan would start crying. Zeng Wenjuan would get up to feed him milk powder, but as soon as Zeng Wenjuan held Goudan in her arms, he would cry even louder.

As soon as Zhao Jianguo took over, Goudan stopped crying. At that time, Zeng Wenjuan was still jealous, thinking that the child she had carried for ten months did not get close to her.

Zeng Wenjuan spent a month in confinement, and Zhao Jianguo woke up for a month. When she came out of confinement, Zeng Wenjuan was full of energy and rosy-cheeked. But Zhao Jianguo had dark circles under his eyes that were almost as dark as a panda's.

"With such a good father like you and such a sensible mother like me, Goudan can't be too bad." Zeng Wenjuan said with a smile, and when she looked up she met Zhao Jianguo's loving eyes.

…dividing line…

"The sausages, bacon and fish are almost done, so why don't you just not dry them in the sun?" Zeng Wenjuan said to Zhao Jianguo, pointing at the bacon in the net bag.

"It's almost done. I'll go find a sack to put them all in. As for the ones for my parents, would you like to give them to them?" Zhao Jianguo said as he stretched out his hand and squeezed the sausage.

Zeng Wenjuan nodded: "Okay, let's pack up and go over there later! I went to my dad yesterday to hand in this month's homework, and he said he would be home today."

The two of them packed up their things and took them out. Zhao Jianguo, leaning on a crutch, and Zeng Wenjuan, carrying the wheelchair and the cured meat, went downstairs together.

"Mom and Dad, where are you going?" Goudan was originally playing house with everyone, but when he saw Zeng Wenjuan and Zhao Jianguo carrying large and small bags, he asked.

"Let's get some things to your grandparents' house. Do you want to go with us?" Zeng Wenjuan put down the wheelchair, helped Zhao Jianguo sit down, and said to Goudan.

"I want to go too." Goudan wiped his hands on himself and said to Zeng Wenjuan.

Zeng Wenjuan looked at Goudan and felt a little disgusted: "Look at you, you don't even know how to wash your hands. You've made yourself so dirty. If your grandfather sees you, he'll think your parents are bullying you!"

"Hehe...this is how they all wipe their hands." Goudan betrayed his friends with just a silly smile.

"If you see them having this habit, you must tell them that this is impossible. If they eat the bacteria, they will grow into worms in your stomach." Zeng Wenjuan took out a handkerchief and said while helping Goudan wipe his hands.

After packing up, the family walked to the other side of the staff quarters.

When they first arrived at Chen Yitang's house, the door was not closed, but Zeng Wenjuan called out several times, "Dad, are you home? I brought you some cured meat." But no one answered.

"Then let's sit in the yard for a while! If the door is not closed, it means Dad has gone out to visit friends." Zhao Jianguo suggested. Anyway, there is nothing to do at home and he can just sit at home every day.

After a long time, Zhao Jianguo's voice was heard.

"I told you that the fish in the reservoir are very fat and oily. I just caught two fish. I will give one to my daughter later. My grandson loves eating fish."

"Go there later, there will be eels in the reservoir over there. They taste delicious when fried with chili peppers. Let's go catch some together then." said another uncle.

"Okay, I'm all dirty now, I'll go home and clean myself up first. My daughters and the others will have to prepare dinner later." Chen Yintang's face was full of joy at catching fish.

As soon as I opened the gate, I saw Zeng Wenjuan's family.

"Why are you here? You came just in time. Let's have dinner at home tonight. I caught two fish today. Together they weigh almost 10 kilograms. Let's eat the heavier one tonight. You can take the lighter one home after dinner."

When Goudan heard that there were fish, he ran over curiously and saw two big fish in the bucket. He reached down to touch them, but the fish seemed to sense the scent of humans and swung their tails, splashing water, which scared Goudan.

"Ouch! It was this fish that scared our Goudan, right? Then we will eat this fish tonight and let it dare to scare our Goudan." Chen Yintang said that and hit the fish twice.
