Chapter 167: It's about the dignity of the fisherman
The next day.
Ye Daquan began to work on building the house.
With the experience of Ye Caiping and Ye Erquan last time, everything went very smoothly.
When buying bricks, tiles, etc., everything was done according to the order Ye Caiping had given last time, and they were found and ordered one by one.
As for the price issue, he simply put the price that Ye Caiping offered last time on the table. The other party thought that he was an old customer and was willing to give the same price.
Ye Daquan and Old Man Ye were the ones running the whole time.
Ye Caiping didn't go because she was busy.
After staying in the workshop for half an hour, I went home.
Then he started making the bait and was busy until ten o'clock in the morning.
Before noon, he went to the town with Ye Daquan.
"Little sister, if I still can't see that old gentleman after helping him fish this time, forget it." Ye Daquan sighed while driving the ox cart.
Ye Caiping said: "If this is the case, it proves that even the heavens are preventing Xuan'er from becoming a disciple, so I won't do it."
When the brother and sister arrived in the town, they first went to the grocery store and bought fishing rods and fish hooks.
Ye Caiping went to the place where Shen Zhiyan went fishing yesterday, and threw the homemade fish food into the water from a distance.
Only then did he take Ye Daquan to Shunkelou for dinner.
…
In the afternoon, Shen Zhiyan went to the river to fish again.
But just as he sat down, he heard light footsteps.
He raised his eyes slightly and saw that it was Madam Ye from yesterday. She came again.
Shen Zhiyan frowned slightly, but before he could speak, Madam Ye smiled at him politely.
She didn't even come forward, but sat down at a distance from him.
Only then did he realize that she also brought a fishing rod.
Shen Zhiyan knew that she was coming for him.
But the mountains and rivers have no owner, it is impossible for me to come and others not to come.
Shen Zhiyan felt a little unhappy, but not much. Ignore her and fish for your own. Because he didn't feel any more discomfort and didn't want to move.
Ye Caiping couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that he didn't scold her or send a servant to chase her away.
Looking at his mansion and temperament, you can tell that he did not climb up step by step from the bottom, nor is he the son of a poor family, but comes from a large family.
He is a noble, but he is not arrogant.
He is aloof and indifferent, but polite.
This kind of personality proves that she has a chance!
Ye Caiping sat down calmly, took out the fishing rod, took out a small wooden box and put it on the ground, pinched some bait from it and hung it on the box, then threw the rod out.
Shen Zhiyan was a little surprised to see her quick movements.
He thought she would approach him after she sat down, but she cast her line and sat there quietly, as if she really came here to fish.
A quarter of an hour later, her fishing line actually moved again.
Shen Zhiyan: “…”
Ye Caiping lifted the fishing rod skillfully, and the fishing rod instantly bent into a graceful arc. The fishing line was taut, and finally a palm-sized croaker was pulled up by her.
"I didn't expect to catch a fish as soon as I arrived. You're so lucky." Ye Caiping looked at him with a smile.
Shen Zhiyan: “…”
It’s none of his business, he’ll have fish too!
And judging from her posture, there are still a lot of fish today.
Shen Zhiyan couldn't help but focus on his fishing rod.
But before he could make any move, Ye Caiping actually caught another yellow croaker.
Ye Caiping felt a sense of accomplishment as she watched the fish jumping around on the grass.
The fish of that era must have never eaten fine bran, so as soon as they smelled her bait they rushed over to eat it!
This yellow croaker is small, weighing only about half a pound, but it is valuable.
Ye Caiping put the yellow croaker into the fish basket and walked to Shen Zhiyan: "Mr. Shen, do you want me to help you? I know a lot about fishing."
As long as he agreed, he would have to help Xuan'er persuade Master Shen to accept him as his disciple.
Shen Zhiyan took a breath and said, “No need.”
"Really?"
“Really.”
"Oh, okay." Ye Caiping returned to her seat.
But soon, her fishing rod moved again, and a three-pound grass carp was pulled up by her.
Shen Zhiyan looked at the big guy, and even though he was calm and steady, he felt angry.
He stayed here for a whole month but couldn't catch a single fish.
She had been there for less than half a day and had already caught three fish.
Next, Ye Caiping caught a few more yellow croakers.
By the evening, Ye Caiping's fish basket was full, but Shen Zhiyan still caught nothing.
Ye Caiping was also speechless when she saw Shen Zhiyan’s gaze.
Although she had the assistance of nesting and bait, it was too unreal that Master Shen couldn't even catch a fry.
No wonder Shen Manman asked her to help Mr. Shen fishing, this is really... a person with a big addiction to being a glutton!
"Mr. Shen, see you tomorrow." Ye Caiping waved her hand, holding the fishing rod and fish basket, and turned to leave.
Ye Caiping returned to the village and gave two croakers to Ye Er's family.
In the evening, my family stewed pickled fish with the big grass carp.
…
Shen's family, at the dinner table——
Among all the dishes, a pot of stewed yellow croaker is particularly eye-catching.
Shen Zhiyan held the jade and looked at it indifferently.
Shen Manman picked up one, groaned, and sucked half of it, feeling it was tender and smooth: "Fresh ones are different, good times——"
Shen Zhiyan: “Where did the fish come from?”
"You don't know?"
Shen Zhiyan: “…”
Seeing that he was silent, Shen Manman kindly told him: “This was given to me by Aunt Ye.”
Shen Zhiyan looked cold and indifferent, and finally sighed softly: “Shen Manman, you are not allowed to meddle in your father’s affairs in the future.”
Shen Manman's little head was almost buried in the bowl, why couldn't she control it? She's going to take care of it!
…
The next day.
After lunch, Shen Zhiyan went out with his fishing gear.
When he arrived at the section of the river he was used to, he saw a slender light apricot figure sitting there through the layers of bamboo forest.
He didn't stop and continued walking forward.
He walked along the river for half a mile before he stopped.
He found a shady spot to sit down, then he swung his rod out. However, his heart, which was usually as calm as a deep pool, could not calm down.
After thinking about it, he packed up his fishing gear and went back.
He knew that she was coming for him, and everything she did was to find a husband for her nephew.
But he decided to go back.
He must catch the fish, and he must catch it in that exact spot!
This is the dignity of being a fisherman!
Ye Caiping sat in the same position as yesterday, leaning against the bamboo pole behind her, as if she had fallen asleep.
The sound of light footsteps was heard, and the corners of Ye Caiping's lips curled up.
She knew he would come back.
Shen Zhiyan returned to his seat.
The two of them sat like this for a long time.
Ye Caiping already had half a basket: “Mr. Shen, do you really not need my help?”
Shen Zhiyan said in a calm voice: "Thank you, no thanks. The fun of fishing is the unknown and waiting."
"That's right." Ye Caiping nodded with a smile.
I gritted my teeth inwardly. I didn't expect that he was so patient at such a young age.
