In the early morning among the mountains and forests, thick fog surrounded the clear river water. A bamboo raft broke through the fog and floated on the river surface covered with thick fog. An old farmer in a straw raincoat held a bamboo pole and paddled the water to push the bamboo raft. An elderly woman sitting at the bow, wearing a conical hat, was waiting without blinking for the white foam floating on the river surface.
"Don't worry! There will be fish." said Mou Ding, an old farmer paddling a bamboo pole.
The old woman sitting at the bow of the boat obviously didn't have much confidence anymore:
"Are you sure? You said the same thing just now downstream, Si Ze."
It turns out that these two people really disappeared from the Si family, leaving the huge Zhenghong to the care of their son who had just graduated, Si Ze and Yan Mo, this irresponsible couple.
Si Ze coughed lightly: "That was a mistake, I guarantee it will happen again this time."
Seeing Si Ze like this, she wondered if she should remind him that he had only caught one fish for two consecutive days.
After thinking about it, she still didn't expose him in person. Men, after all! They need to save face, especially Si Ze, who is already old and very stingy. If she told him, he would probably ignore her for a few days.
Yan Mo changed the subject:
"Do you think Zhi'er and the others are scolding us right now?"
"Probably, but Cong'er will definitely scold me." Si Ze affirmed.
"That's right." Yan Mo smiled.
"We advised you to stay for a few more days so they could get familiar with the subject."
"They've been together since they were little, and you're still not familiar with them?" Si Ze disagreed: "You're just spoiling them too much. They're already grown up, and I believe they can handle it. They're smart."
He had promised her that he would make it big. Now that his son is so old, how could he not let them come and ask him to work like a slave?
Si Ze felt comfortable shifting the blame; if his son knew about this, he would probably vomit blood.
They chatted for a while on the bamboo raft.
"Let's close the net!" Si Ze said.
Yan Mo was worried about the lack of fish: "Why don't we wait a little longer?" She pointed at the water plants on both sides and said:
"I saw on TV that they always hit the areas with lots of water plants to drive the fish into the net. Si Ze, do you want to try it?"
Si Ze glanced at Yan Mo's white bare feet. His rolled-up trouser legs were already mostly wet. He shook his head:
"No need to rush, there must be fish."
He put down the bamboo pole in his hand, pulled the white foam over, and began to collect the net.
Seeing this, Yan Mo said no more, stood up and walked to Si Ze to help close the net.
As the net was pulled up from the river little by little, the two men became increasingly disappointed, as they saw only two palm-sized crucian carps in the huge fishing net.
"I told you to drive them away. If you didn't, the fish would definitely not come here." Yan Mo blamed him in a bad tone.
Si Ze was feeling uncomfortable after not receiving any goods for a few days, and he refuted for once:
"Why don't you just say that you chose a bad location?"
Hearing Si Ze's retort, Yan Mo raised his voice by several decibels:
"What? I chose a bad spot? Why don't you see that the spot you just chose doesn't have any fish at all."
Yan Mo proudly raised the two fish in his hands and said, "Look, at least I chose a place where there are fish. Where there are fish, there are schools of fish. It must be because you didn't chase them away."
"How can there be a school of fish with just two fish?" Si Ze also refused to admit defeat.
"Of course, fish are social animals, do you understand?" Yan Mo said loudly, as if Si Ze really made her miss the school of fish.
But before she could finish her words, her hand slipped and the fish in her left hand fell onto the bamboo raft. Before they could take any action, the fish jumped into the river with two splashes on the raft and disappeared from the video of the two people.
"Why are you rowing?" Yan Mo was upset and took his anger out on Si Ze. He played up the idea that menopausal women are not to be trifled with, vividly and vividly.
Si Ze said innocently, holding up the bamboo pole that was not in the water: "I haven't started paddling yet."
Realizing that it was his own fault, Yan Mo smiled awkwardly:
"Want to cast the net again?"
He seemed to be used to her like this, and said lightly with a smile:
"No need. If you keep catching them, Dahua will starve."
Dahua Yanmo picked up a small local dog on the road. The dog was missing a leg. She felt sorry for the dog and started raising it herself.
"Okay, let's go back!" Yan Mo looked at the lonely crucian carp in the bucket and said with a smile:
"Dahua has fish bones to eat."
Si Ze rowed the boat and disappeared on the river. When they arrived home, the thick fog in the mountains gradually dissipated, and the two of them entered the house one after the other.
Their house is not far from the river. It is built with bamboo. It has one large room and two side rooms. Living by the water, it is indescribably romantic.
Inside the house, there are just ordinary daily necessities. When the little yellow dog Dahua sees his owner coming back, he holds up his broken hind legs and comes out excitedly to greet him, wagging his tail.
Yan Mo touched the big flower head in appreciation:
"You're getting better and better. Wait here and let your grandpa make you something to eat."
After saying that, Yan Mo handed the fish in her hand to Si Ze, turned around and ran to the beach in the backyard, where she and Si Ze had worked so hard to grow vegetables.
"Why don't you take a break? I'll do it." Si Ze shouted.
Yan Mo replied without even turning his head: "No, I'm hungry, hurry up and cook!"
Looking at her cheerful figure entering the vegetable garden, Si Ze shook his head lovingly:
"At such an old age, he's still like a child."
Although he said this, his eyes could not conceal the deep affection he felt.
After Si Ze put down his fishing tools, he went to the kitchen to process the only fish. One fish was definitely not enough for two mouths. After thinking about it, he took out the bacon and some dried bamboo shoots that he and Yan Mo had made from the door frame outside and began to process them.
When everything was almost done, Yan Mo came out from the vegetable garden in the backyard, picking some popular vegetables. She sat by the kitchen and picked and washed them.
After a few dozen minutes,
The delicious three dishes and one soup were placed in the living room on the bamboo table made by Si Zeqin.
"It's time to eat." Yan Mo actively took out the bowl and filled it with rice.
The dishes were simple, but they tasted like home. The two of them ate with great relish, feeling happier than when they lived in a villa or castle and ate delicacies from land and sea. Yan Mo finished a bowl and ordered another half bowl.
"Go slowly, be careful with the fish bones." Si Ze considerately shaved off the fish bones for her bit by bit, and what was left was a complete fish bone. He threw it towards Da Hua, who had drooled all over the floor.
"Dahua, catch it."
Even though Dahua was missing a leg, she was extremely agile. She caught the fish bone thrown by Si Ze in one bite, crunched it, and started eating it under the table.
"That's amazing." Yan Mo praised, and at the same time did not forget to cross the fan Size:
"Hubby, that's great."
After saying that, he looked at Si Ze and started eating with a silly smile. Si Ze couldn't stop smiling while eating.
"over"
