Chapter 141 Too Deliberate



Seeing the man glance out the window with a deep gaze, Aunt Xu said unhappily, "What are you still looking at now? He's already left. What's wrong with you? You missed such a good opportunity."

When I think of Jiang Wanwan's words, "Aunt Xu, you are still the best." If she came to praise her son, then why would she still be worrying about this?

I really don't understand what my son was thinking. It was obvious that he had that intention and was quite satisfied with Jiang Zhiqing. He thought he had finally gotten the point, but who would have thought that he would pick up Qiao at the critical moment.

He was clearly at home, but he insisted that she give the wool to Jiang Zhiqing. It would have been fine if he was really busy at work, but he came home at the exact moment and hid in the house.

"I'm telling you, what are you thinking? Tell me first. If you miss this opportunity, you'll miss it. You didn't see it today. As soon as I wasn't paying attention, Aunt Li started to get close to Jiang Zhiqing and wanted to introduce her nephew to him. She didn't even consider how her nephew was worthy of him. Luckily, I brought the conversation up."

When Liu Hai heard Aunt Li wanted to introduce someone to Jiang Wanwan, he finally reacted. "How did she react?"

"How could she react? She's just a girl, so she just smiled and said nothing. But when I told her that given her circumstances, she definitely needed to find a tall, handsome man with his own apartment, she seemed to agree with me. So, Aunt Li's nephew is a no-go. Even if we introduce him to Jiang Zhiqing, he wouldn't be interested in him."

Aunt Xu was still a little angry when she mentioned this. The cabbage she liked was almost eaten by a wild boar without her knowing it. How could she not be angry?

Chen Hai smiled, not at Jiang Zhiqing's reaction, but at his mother's overconfidence.

Aunt Xu saw that her son was still trying to smile, and she felt very disappointed. "Who am I doing this for? Tell me what you think."

"Nothing," Chen Hai replied calmly.

It was obvious that the yarn that could be given in one time was divided twice, but his mother didn't have time both times. It was so deliberate.

His mother only wanted to bring them together as soon as possible, but she didn't know that haste makes waste.

Aunt Xu was clearly dissatisfied with his response. "What do you mean 'nothing'? How can Jiang Zhiqing know how kind you are without any contact? Just this once, you'll personally handle the knitwear matter."

This time Chen Hai did not refuse again, "Next time you meet her, ask her what style and size she wants."

"Is that even a question? She's a girl, so of course she needs girls' styles. As for the size, she's not short, so you can just get her something based on her 1.70 meters tall. A larger size will keep her warm."

"It's better for you to ask in person," Chen Hai insisted.

Aunt Xu's eyes lit up and she slapped her thigh. "Good boy, I thought you didn't care. Okay, okay, ask her. Next time you see her, I'll bring her home and you can ask her yourself."

If you just give her a set of women's knitwear, you only need to meet once. First, ask her what style and size she wants, and then give it to her. This is the opportunity to meet twice, and it also makes your son seem considerate and makes the girl more satisfied.

The more Aunt Xu thought about it, the more satisfied she became, and she finally showed a little better attitude towards her son.

"I bought some pork belly and will make your favorite braised pork for lunch today. Come over for dinner later."

Aunt Xu left happily. Chen Hai looked at his mother's back and shook his head helplessly.

How could my mother be so confident? Did she ever consider the possibility that Jiang Zhiqing might want a set of men's knitwear?

Forget it, let me think whatever I want, there is still a 50% chance.

Thinking of the remaining 50% chance, Chen Hai shook hands.

…………………………

The weather was getting colder day by day. Jiang Wanwan was too lazy to go out. She was lying on the kang knitting a sweater when Wu Xiaoyu came and knocked on the door.

The small river near the village was frozen, and Wu Xiaoyu wanted to invite Jiang Wanwan to go fishing together.

Now that Professor Wu's rehabilitation is in sight, Wu Xiaoyu is no longer so worried. Knowing that Jiang Wanwan is now alone at home, she will occasionally come to her house to find her.

Jiang Wanwan had heard of ice fishing, but the ice on the river surface in their area was not thick at all, far from meeting the standards for ice fishing.

However, Wu Xiaoyu said she had experience, so Jiang Wanwan put away the yarn without saying a word and followed curiously.

Wu Xiaoyu had already prepared the tools for ice fishing. The two of them dressed warmly and went to the river together.

Wu Xiaoyu was the main one, and Jiang Wanwan was responsible for helping her. She watched her break the ice and put the bait in, and then waited patiently.

"Don't underestimate this river. There are still many fish in it. I often come here to fish in the summer. If I'm lucky, I can make fish soup for my dad."

Jiang Wanwan didn't think this river was unremarkable at all. In her impression, this was the river that caused the original owner to fall into the water.

But she can swim and is not too afraid of the river.

"Then I hope we'll have better luck today, and not only Professor Wu can drink the fish soup, but I can too," she said with anticipation.

Wu Xiaoyu patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'll give you even one fish if I catch one. I promise you'll have fish soup today."

As she spoke, she moved the fishing rod from time to time to ensure the bait was active.

The water temperature is low in winter, and the physiological activities of fish are greatly affected. They are in a semi-dormant state, and their ability to respond to external dangers is also reduced, so they are easier to catch.

The skills of ice fishing can be summarized as one is lure, two is scent, and three is teasing.

Pulling up the fishing line every few minutes is called three teasing, teasing the fish to make it bite the hook.

Sure enough, Wu Xiaoyu got a reward after a while, a small crucian carp the size of a palm.

Jiang Wanwan hurried over with the bucket and looked at the small crucian carp with shining eyes.

It is not easy to eat seafood these days, especially in areas like theirs. Even if there are small rivers and streams nearby, the seafood in them is limited.

After all, in the dry season of summer, rivers and streams dry up nine out of ten times. Once they dry up, all the aquatic creatures in the river die.

Unlike the big rivers in the south, which have been flowing for decades or hundreds of years, they are rich in aquatic products and large in size.

Jiang Wanwan has been traveling through time for so long and has eaten a lot of meat, but apart from the fish in the refrigerator of her two-bedroom apartment, she has never had a proper meal of fresh fish.

With the first one, the two men became more confident. After a while, the second and third fish were caught one after another. Although they were not as big as the first one, the larger number could make up for the shortcomings in quality.

The two were enjoying their harvest today when they saw a figure walking on a small road not far away.

"Isn't that Qiao Wennuan?"

Jiang Wanwan couldn't believe her eyes. Wasn't Qiao Wenwan in labor reform? How could she be in the Red Star Brigade?

The members who went out to work on the river haven't returned yet, but she, who is undergoing labor reform, has returned first?

"I know this," Wu Xiaoyu also knew that Jiang Wanwan had not gone out during this period, so she told her what she had heard.
