After leaving Du Mingqin's house, Lu Feifei subconsciously wanted to find Gao Yan.
But then I remembered that Gao Yan had already gone home from get off work.
It wouldn't be appropriate for her to approach him at this time, so she suppressed the idea.
now.
The Gao family of three had already eaten dinner.
They were sitting around the stove listening to the radio.
"Honey, is the situation with my parents-in-law any better?"
Gao Yan asked.
Li Mengyao said, "My dad wrote to me a few days ago. They have received the relief food, and the family has overcome the difficulties. They told us that we don't need to send anything anymore!"
Hearing this, Gao Yan nodded to himself. It seemed that his father-in-law's family wasn't greedy. If they were greedy, they would have been eager for him to give them more money and supplies. They wouldn't have refused his help!
"How about this, I'll send some cured meat, smoked pheasant, and smoked rabbit back to my father-in-law's family tomorrow, so they can have a prosperous New Year!" Gao Yan said after thinking for a moment.
Nowadays, his family has quite a lot of cured pork, weighing several dozen kilograms, and about twenty smoked pheasants and rabbits. In addition, there are some other wild game and dried fish.
In general, there is no shortage of meat at home.
This is after he exchanged quite a bit with his neighbors and donated some to the neighborhood office; otherwise, there would have been even more.
"Honey, you're so good to me!"
Hearing Gao Yan's words, Li Mengyao said with a touched expression.
The following morning.
Gao Yan took his sister-in-law to the post office.
He sent his father-in-law's family ten catties of cured meat, four smoked pheasants and four wild rabbits, as well as ten catties of wheat flour, twenty catties of corn flour, and 30 yuan in cash.
With these things, my father-in-law's family will definitely be able to have an enviable prosperous New Year.
Then.
Gao Yan brought his sister-in-law to Shichahai.
Unexpectedly, Lao Xu was there too.
He then approached Gao Yan and said, "Young Gao, you've come at the right time. An old friend of mine is coming to the capital soon, and I'm planning to get a huge thing to entertain him. Could you get one up here?"
“No one else would have this, but you, Lao Xu, are a true friend. I’ll definitely get you a giant one today!” Gao Yan said, patting his chest.
"That's exactly what I've been waiting to hear!"
Old Xu said happily, "As long as you bring the giant up, I won't treat you unfairly!"
"Then you wait!"
Gao Yan said confidently.
Then they started smashing the ice cave. The number of giant creatures in Shichahai is limited. After Gao Yan had created a few, he stopped making more, because he didn't want to wipe out the giant creatures.
Old Xu can still get one without any problem.
In no time, Gao Yan smashed a hole in the ice.
He then helped his sister-in-law make one, and then started fishing.
Two minutes later.
The first fish was pulled up; it wasn't huge, but it weighed five or six pounds—it was a large blue carp.
A few minutes later, Gao Yan pulled up the second one, a carp weighing over three pounds.
Before they knew it, half an hour had passed. Gao Yan had caught quite a few fish, but none of them were giants.
"Hey Gao, are you even up to the task?"
Old Xu said somewhat anxiously.
"Hey, you need patience to catch big fish. You're supposed to be a big leader, and you don't even have this much patience!"
Immediately, Lao Xu was rendered speechless by Gao Yan's retort.
Seeing Lao Xu's embarrassed expression, Gao Yan chuckled inwardly.
Ten minutes later.
Gao Yan finally caught a giant fish.
This behemoth weighs over 50 kilograms and is the second largest creature in Shichahai.
As for the number one ranked fish, it weighs at least 70 kilograms.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it the King of Black Fish.
"You're really something, kid!"
Seeing Gao Yanzhen catch a giant fish, Lao Xu couldn't help but praise him excitedly. Worried that the giant fish might die, Lao Xu had already prepared a large wooden bucket in advance.
Once the giant creature was pulled ashore, he immediately had it taken back to be cared for, since his old friend wouldn't arrive in the capital until tomorrow!
"Young man, I'll have someone deliver your things to your house tonight!"
"Alright!"
Gao Yan waved his hand dismissively.
Not long after Lao Xu left, Gao Yan filled the two buckets he had brought with fish.
He wasn't going to sell the fish to the anglers today.
He planned to take it back and sell it to his neighbors in the courtyard.
Back to the courtyard house.
Gao Yan then sent his apprentice Yang Haijun to inform everyone and ask if they wanted to buy fish. It was two cents a pound, and no coupons were required.
Even with a ticket, fish still cost more than 30 cents in the market.
Gao Yan only charges two cents, which is a bargain for everyone.
As a result, the two buckets of fish sold out quickly.
Then he gave two yuan to his sister-in-law as pocket money and another yuan to Yang Haijun as a running fee.
After selling all the fish.
Gao Yan then made an excuse to leave the courtyard.
However, she went to Zhao Jingchu's place.
"Xiao Gao, why did you bring so much stuff again?"
Zhao's mother greeted Gao Yan warmly.
Although her daughter had no official status following Gao Yan, her son-in-law was indeed very good to her and her daughter. He provided them with an endless supply of flour and meat, and they didn't have to worry about anything.
The only thing that made her regretful was that her daughter had not been able to conceive.
After all, a mother's status rises with her son's!
Zhao's mother came from the old era, so it's normal for her to have such thoughts.
After having lunch here.
Zhao's mother then created another opportunity for Gao Yan and Zhao Jingchu to have a baby.
Unfortunately, all her scheming was in vain.
However, Gao Yan was happy with this arrangement.
Gao Yan stayed at the Zhao family's house until after 5 p.m. before reluctantly leaving.
Back home.
He then prepared dinner with his sister-in-law.
