Chapter 156 I Won’t Be Reluctant
"What are you fishing for?" Zhan Lang brought Wu Chao to the river to fish. When he saw Gu Dong and the others, he walked over.
When he saw Yu Hui, he called out, "Aunt Yu."
In fact, Zhan Lang felt quite embarrassed to call someone younger than him "Auntie".
But we are all related by generation, so we can’t mess around.
"We are fishing for crayfish." Gu Dong lifted up the rod, and there were three more lobsters biting on the big fat piece.
"Lobster?" Zhan Lang frowned. "Isn't this a giant worm?"
He had eaten lobsters before, the kind that were the size of a palm, and they looked a bit like maggots, but they were completely two different creatures.
One is in the sea, and the other is in the river.
Yu Hui: "It's a crayfish, also known as a crayfish. It's edible."
Wu Chao grabbed Zhan Lang's arm and said, "I've eaten this crayfish before and it's delicious. It's better than the lobsters I had in Beijing before."
The last time Yu Hui made them, Wu Chao went to her house and took two to try.
Zhan Lang: "Really?"
Gu Xixi raised her head and said proudly, "The crayfish my mother cooks are super delicious. She's going to make crayfish noodles today, so I came here to fish for crayfish."
Crayfish noodles?
Wu Chao recalled the taste he had last time. The noodles must have been delicious if they were mixed with such delicious crayfish.
"Aunt Yu, I'll give you all the fish I caught today. Can you let me go to your house and have a bowl of crayfish noodles?" Wu Chao pouted and looked at Yu Hui pitifully with begging eyes.
"Okay," Yu Hui said jokingly, "Don't worry if you catch too many fish and don't want to give them to me."
"I won't be reluctant to part with it. I still want to catch more fish for you, Aunt Yu."
"Um..." Zhan Lang raised his hand, "Can you take me with you? I'll give you all the fish I catch."
"...That's fine." She had already promised Wu Chao, so it was not easy for her to refuse Zhan Lang now.
"Chaochao, let's go fishing." Zhan Lang hooked his arm around Wu Chao's neck, picked up the bucket and went fishing under the shade of a tree nearby.
Gu Qiuyan was fishing nearby. She bent over and Gu Qiuye was holding a bucket for her.
"I touched it, it's a big one." Gu Qiuyan grabbed the big one tightly with both hands and took it out of the water.
It was a grass carp as wide as a palm and as long as a forearm.
The fish struggled hard and splashed water on Gu Qiuyan's face.
"Ptah, pah, pah..." He spit out a fishy smell from his mouth.
"Sister, you are so awesome. This fish is so big." Gu Qiuye quickly handed over the bucket.
Gu Qiuyan put the fish in the bucket and suddenly noticed a sight. She turned her head and saw Zhan Lang sitting under the shade of a tree fishing.
He was wearing a white Dacron shirt and army green pants today, and he looked particularly energetic.
"What are you looking at?" she muttered softly, then stepped onto the shore.
Since they were fishing here, she wouldn't touch them here.
Gu Qiuyan was wearing black trousers. In order to make it easier to go into the river to catch fish, she rolled up her trouser legs to the middle of her thighs, revealing a small section of her thighs.
The exposed part of the thigh is dazzlingly white, and is a completely different shade from the skin exposed on the calf and other places.
Zhan Lang's black pupils suddenly shrank, and he quickly coughed and looked away, looking at the river surface, and raised the fishing rod again.
When a person is embarrassed or ashamed, he will be particularly busy, and this was reflected very thoroughly in him at this moment.
"Brother Zhan, why did you move the fishing rod? The float moved just now. It's obvious that a fish has taken the bait. As soon as you moved, the fish ran away."
Zhan Lang: "..."
My ears are red.
Gu Qiuyan and Gu Qiuye walked past Zhan Lang and the others. Zhan Lang looked back at Gu Qiuyan, then at the other people by the river, and his thick eyebrows frowned.
He muttered irritably, "We're already on shore, why don't you roll up your trouser legs?"
"Brother Zhan, what are you saying?" Wu Chao asked.
"Nothing."
After Gu Qiuyan walked a little further, she went down to the river again.
Zhan Lang kept looking at her and didn't even notice that the fish had taken the bait. It was Wu Chao who saw it and reminded him.
After fishing for most of the morning, he caught less than half of the fish Wu Chao caught.
"Brother Zhan, you caught so few fish, do you have the nerve to eat Aunt Yu's crayfish noodles?" Wu Chao looked at the five small crucian carps in Zhan Lang's bucket and shook his head and complained.
Zhan Lang: "..."
These five small crucian carps, only two fingers wide, are really not worth showing off.
It was almost eleven o'clock, and Yu Hui and the others planned to go back.
Gu Dong went to Zhan Lang and Wu Chao and asked them to come to his house for noodles at 5:30 in the evening, and then left.
Gu Qiuyan left, and before leaving, she rolled up her trouser legs, and Zhan Lang's heart calmed down.
He asked Wu Chao to go back first, and sat down to fish for a while. It was almost half past twelve before he packed up and went back.
There are more than twenty fish in the bucket, which is pretty good.
We had a simple lunch at noon and everyone was looking forward to the crayfish noodles in the evening.
After taking a nap, Yu Hui started to process the crayfish she had caught.
Wash and scrub, and remove the shrimp thread.
While they were processing it, Wu Chao came first and brought with him fifteen crucian carps that he had caught. Yu Hui didn't bother to be polite with him and accepted them directly.
Seeing that everyone was processing crayfish, he joined the army of people processing crayfish.
Brothers Yu Jianshe and Yu Lixin followed Qian Lan on a train back to their hometown early this morning, saying that it was their grandfather's 60th birthday and they had to go back to celebrate.
Yu Qiang had just been promoted to deputy battalion commander and could not leave, so only Qian Lan took the two children back. It happened to be the busy farming season and the millet harvest was coming, so the three of them had to help harvest the millet in their hometown before returning.
So, the two Yu Jianshe brothers are not here today, otherwise they would be indispensable.
Zhan Lang thought that it would be very difficult to process so many crayfish.
If I arrived early, I could help with some work, so I carried the fish I caught and arrived at Gu's house at 4:30.
However, Wu Chao was already sitting with the Gu family, peeling the boiled crayfish.
"Chaochao, you come, why don't you ask me to come along?" Zhan Lang handed the fish to Yu Hui and patted Wu Chao's head.
He came to help first, doesn't it seem like he's just waiting to get the ready-made food?
Wu Chao shrank his neck and said, "I didn't know you wanted to come early, Brother Zhan. I just woke up from my nap and was bored at home, so I came here first."
Zhan Lang glanced at Gu Qiuyan who was peeling shrimp, went to the sink to wash his hands, and walked over and said, "I'll help too."
Gu Qiuyan raised her head and glanced at him. "There are already enough people peeling shrimps. There aren't many left. Don't get involved."
His hands are so rough, don't try to tear the shrimp meat apart.
When Wu Chao first started peeling them, he broke several of them.
Zhan Lang stood there with his hands raised, feeling somewhat awkward. He always felt that Gu Qiuyan disliked him because she didn't let him help peel the shrimps.
Wu Chao: "There are already enough people peeling them. Brother Zhan, go inside and play with Gu Xixi and the others."
“…” Zhan Lang was speechless for a while.
If you ask a twenty-year-old adult man to play with a three or four-year-old child, he can still do it.
Why does he feel that Wu Chao is a little bit cocky?
