"Kill the crucian carp and grass carp, they can be dried into fish jerky. Keep those turtles for a while."
After a pause, Chen Jun pointed to the two large catfish and said, "Uncle, you can take those two catfish home. They're quite good stewed with tofu."
They actually gave us two catfish?
The third uncle, Yan Bugui, was overjoyed and nodded quickly.
Yu Li, who was initially somewhat reluctant, became enthusiastic. At first, she thought she was being helped for nothing and wondered why her father-in-law was being so obsequious.
But now it seems so good!
Just by helping to kill some fish, I got two catfish – what a steal!
Just thinking about the taste of catfish stewed with tofu made Yu Li swallow hard.
What are we even talking about? Let's just do it!
The surrounding residents were very envious when they saw this.
It has to be the Third Uncle; he can even figure this out.
Chen Jun brought more than a dozen fish this time. Killing these fish would yield two large catfish, which was a worthwhile deal no matter how you looked at it.
"Well, I can also kill fish, even better than Old Man Yan!"
Without a second thought, Jia Zhangshi decided to intercept the offer.
Two big catfish are enough to feed the family for several days. How can we let Yan Bugui have all the good stuff?
Moreover, killing fish doesn't require much skill, and Jia Zhangshi felt she could do it better than Yan Bugui, a grown man.
Qin Huairu glanced at Jia Zhangshi with some surprise.
She never expected that Jia Zhangshi would be willing to lower herself and beg Chen Jun for food.
"We don't need your help, our family is enough."
Yan Bugui glared at Jia Zhangshi with annoyance, then told the three aunts and the others to hurry up and get to work.
Chen Jun waved his hand and refused Jia Zhangshi's offer. He picked up the turtle, put it in the basin, and went straight back to his room.
Yan Bugui was also very efficient, quickly cleaning all the fish and then happily carrying the big catfish home.
But when they got home, Yu Li couldn't help but say, "Dad, the entrance to Chen Jun's courtyard is a bit dirty and messy because of us. Why don't I go and clean it up?"
Um?
Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui couldn't help but give Yu Li a thumbs up.
"Not bad, not bad, Yu Li, you're quite thoughtful."
He was so busy having fun that he forgot to finish cleaning up, which will leave a bad impression on Chen Jun.
"Okay, then go and pack your things."
"Chen Jun is the most capable person in our compound. Our family needs to maintain a good relationship with him in the future. We shouldn't feel like we're wasting our time, because Chen Jun isn't the kind of person who's stingy."
Upon hearing Yan Bugui's words, Yu Li picked up a broom and went outside.
"I'm going too!"
Yan Jiecheng shouted and then chased after him.
Although Chen Jun's wife, Chen Xueru, is very beautiful, even more beautiful than his own wife, Yu Li.
But Yan Jiecheng was worried that Yu Li would compare him to Chen Jun.
So, under the guise of helping out, he chased after Yu Li and went to clean the house together.
The next day, at noon.
Banggeng squatted on his doorstep, gazing longingly at the smoked fish in the yard.
These fish were cleaned by Yan Bugui, and Chen Jun used them to make smoked fish. They are currently hanging on bamboo poles to dry.
A dozen or so fish platters together look very tempting.
"That damned bastard! He'd rather use Yan Laokou than me. He just looks down on me!" Jia Zhangshi cursed a few times before heading back to her room to lie down.
As for the dozen or so fish on the bamboo pole, Jia Zhangshi dared not steal them.
Having just lost thirty yuan to Xu Damao, if Chen Jun caught her stealing fish again, she was sure to lose more than thirty yuan. So, to prevent herself from doing anything stupid, Jia Zhangshi decided to lie down on the bed for a while.
Little did she know that while she dared not provoke Chen Jun, this kid Bang Geng certainly did!
It is said that a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, and this is well reflected in Banggeng.
With so many smoked fish dangling in front of him, Banggeng had lost count of how many times he had swallowed his saliva.
Meat!
It's all meat!
Why do bad people have so much meat at home, while I don't?
Thinking back to the things Jia Zhangshi said to Chen Jun at home yesterday, Bang Geng felt both angry and greedy.
Finally, Banggeng couldn't resist any longer. He glanced at the empty courtyard and walked towards the smoked fish.
To his surprise, the smoked fish was hung a bit too high, and with his small stature, it was difficult for him to take it down. He tried several times, but all attempts ended in failure.
Just as Bang Geng was about to give up, he suddenly heard a splashing sound.
Um?
Following the sound, Banggeng saw a small water tank.
The water vat was placed in front of Chen Jun's house. Upon closer inspection, several turtles were found inside.
Banggeng doesn't know what a turtle is, but if it's kept in water, it must be a fish, right?
Since it's a fish, it must be edible!
Banggeng pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and then reached out to scoop up the turtle.
Because the water tank wasn't very big, the scoop caught a large turtle after only a couple of scoops.
The little kid had no idea how dangerous a turtle could be, so he didn't pay attention to his technique when he caught it, which resulted in the turtle's tail pointing upwards and its head downwards.
The turtle was startled by this sudden action and tried to break free by swinging its limbs, but its struggles were ineffective.
Driven by instinct, the turtle stretched out its neck and took a bite.
The next second, Banggeng's screams echoed through the courtyard.
"ah!!!!!"
"ah!!!"
The stick felt an unprecedented pain, and even its screams were trembling.
What a coincidence! That turtle bit me perfectly!
Hearing the screams, Jia Zhangshi, who was dozing in bed, cursed without thinking, saying things like "Damn it, you're disturbing my sleep."
But the next second, she jumped out of bed.
Great!
That's the sound of a skewer!
It’s over!
Jia Zhangshi's heart sank, and she took off running into the courtyard.
At the same time, Aunt Er, who also lived in the backyard, heard the commotion. She went to the door and saw Banggeng yelling loudly.
Upon closer inspection, the second aunt gasped in shock.
hiss.......
Why is Banggeng holding a big turtle?!
And it's in the same spot!
That must hurt so much.
At this moment, Banggeng was trembling with pain. He gritted his teeth and threw the giant turtle in his hand away violently.
But the next second, the bat's screams grew even louder.
The turtle's mouth was as if it were welded shut; it wouldn't let go no matter what, and its whole body was hanging on the stick.
The pain intensified.
Having no other options, the stick-like creature could only reach out and swat at the turtle, hoping to slap it away.
But the big turtle has a turtle shell, so this slap from the stick is almost like a tickle.
"Grandma, Grandma!"
Having no other option but to deal with the giant turtle, Bang Geng had no choice but to turn to Jia Zhangshi for help.
But as it ran, the giant turtle swayed under the force, and blood began to flow from its wound.
"My dear grandson!"
Seeing this, Jia Zhangshi was greatly shocked!
