Chapter 12 What Kind of Lucky Draw Is This?
Yaya was so scared that her face turned pale and she kept hiding behind Maomao.
Maomao was trembling with fear, but he still stubbornly stretched out his arms to protect Yaya, "Go away, who cares about you!"
"Well, you dare to talk back!"
Huang Xinran was so angry that he couldn't help but grab Maomao and slap him on the butt - but the slap just hung in the air and didn't fall down.
Maomao closed his eyes subconsciously and trembled with fear.
After a long time, I didn't feel any pain. I was surprised and secretly opened my eyes.
"Mom, Mom, don't hit my brother..."
Yaya cried and hugged Huang Xinran's thighs: "Mom, it was Yaya who wanted to come to the river. It has nothing to do with brother. If you want to hit me, hit Yaya! Wuwuwu..."
"No, I brought my sister here, just hit me!" Maomao got anxious and hurried forward.
"It's me!"
"It's me..."
"That's enough of you!"
Seeing the two siblings arguing, Huang Xinran's anger had almost dissipated at this moment: "Tell the truth, why didn't you listen? Why did you run to the riverbank? Didn't Mom tell you how dangerous it is here? Ah!"
"I, we all know. But I heard from Pangpang that there are fish on the riverbank, and Mom likes to eat fish..."
Yaya twisted her little fingers repeatedly and sobbed continuously.
Huang Xinran was shocked.
She didn't expect that the two children came to the riverbank just to catch fish for her.
"Then you can't come to the riverbank either!"
She softened her tone, "You are still young. The river is so deep. It is dangerous for you to play on the riverbank. It would be terrible if you fell in... Forget it. Mommy won't punish you this time. If it happens again, Mommy will definitely spank your palms. Do you hear me?"
"Um!"
Yaya nodded heavily: "Mommy, hold me..."
"You!~"
Huang Xinran was angry and helpless, so she picked up Yaya. Seeing Maomao looking at her with his head raised, his big eyes twinkling with stars, she couldn't help but rub his hair, "And you! You are the brother, you should take care of your sister, don't bring your sister to play by the water. It's very dangerous, understand?"
"Let go, I don't want you to care, hum! ~"
Maomao wouldn't listen to her. He pushed her away with one hand, turned around and ran away, and even turned back to glare at her at the end.
"Brother!" Yaya called him hurriedly, but Maomao ran so fast that he soon disappeared.
This Maomao is really...
Huang Xinran shook his head and sighed.
After soothing the sobbing Yaya, he put her down and then turned back to pick up the grass he had cut for the cows. When he looked towards the river, his heart was moved and he silently put the grass down again.
The child wants to catch fish for her to eat!
No matter how dangerous it was for the children to do this, she had to appreciate their kindness.
"Don't be sad, Yaya. Come and watch Mommy fish for you. How about we have fish tonight?"
"Really? Mom, can you fish too?"
Yaya looked surprised.
"Yes, you wait!"
Huang Xinran didn’t know how to fish, but she had seen others fishing.
She bent down and picked up the fishing rod that the child had dropped. She imitated the actions of others, picked up a worm and hung it on the fishhook. Because she didn't know how to do it, she tried several times before she successfully hung the half-twisted earthworm on the fishhook.
Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but smile at Yaya, then stood up and threw it into the water.
Because of the mistake, it got directly caught on the water plants on the river bank. There was another round of confusion, and Yaya couldn't help biting her hand.
"Mom, can you really catch a fish?"
"Yes! Of course I can. Yaya, just wait for a while."
Facing the hopeful look in the child's eyes, Huang Xinran really couldn't say the word "no".
I couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Heaven and earth, please help me catch a big fish!
Huang Xinran muttered to himself, picked up the fishing rod again and swung it hard. The fishing line was swung out as he wished, fell into the water and slowly sank to the bottom, leaving only the float floating on the water.
"Yun Chen's family, are you here to fish too?"
An old man passing by the riverbank put down his burden, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and laughed cheerfully, "Isn't this your first time fishing? Look at where you cast the hook. You can't catch fish on that shallow beach. I advise you to change places quickly."
"Is fishing so particular?"
"This is not about being particular, this is about experience! Look at me, I'm already this old, I've been fishing all my life, how can I not know where to fish? The place where you cast the hook now is a sloping beach under the water, it's impossible to catch a fish, a fish... this fish..."
The old man's eyes widened before he finished speaking.
His eyes were fixed on the water with an expression of disbelief.
Huang Xinran was also panicked.
Before the old man finished speaking, the fishing rod in her hand suddenly sank, and a huge pulling force suddenly came from the water, almost pulling the fishing rod out of her hand. As a result, she also ran forward two steps and almost fell into the water. It was only because she stabilized in time that she avoided the embarrassment of falling into the water again.
"Fish, fish! Fish Babao... Yeah, Mommy caught a fish Babao, we'll have fish to eat tonight!~"
Yaya was so happy that she kept clapping.
Here, Huang Xinran held the fishing rod tightly and was almost dragged into the river several times.
It was the lively old man who saw the situation, dropped his shoulder bag and hurried over, "Hold on! Hold on, hurry up and hold on!" He shouted as he ran forward and took the fishing rod from Huang Xinran's hand.
The two of them worked together and finally caught the fish.
Snap! ~
The big fish fell heavily on the grass on the shore, jumping around and was soon covered with a thick layer of mud.
"Hey! It's actually a big snakehead!"
The old man was also amused. "I can't believe that Yun Chen's first time fishing would yield such a big snakehead. It's amazing, really amazing!"
Snakehead fish is a kind of black fish or spotted fish. Local people believe it is a great tonic, especially for healing wounds.
Such a big snakehead fish should weigh about four or five kilograms.
Huang Xinran herself didn't expect that she would catch such a big snakehead fish just by casually casting for the first time. What kind of lucky jinx is this?
Looking at its ferocious struggle, it's obvious that it's not a good person.
"Uncle, thank you. Without your help, I would not be able to pull this fish up! You must come to my house to eat fish tonight!" She invited him sincerely.
"Why call me uncle? You should call me second uncle. Your father and I are three generations apart, but we have the same ancestor. It's not worth remembering such a small thing. Take this snakehead back home quickly, or it will escape back into the water. That would be such a pity." As he spoke, he caught the snakehead. Unexpectedly, the snakehead turned around and tried to bite him several times. He was so angry that he grabbed the fish and threw it heavily to the ground.
The snakehead fish fell so hard that its belly turned white, but it still struggled.
"Second uncle."
Huang Xinran readily followed suit and called for help, quickly bringing over the basket to hold the fish: "We've agreed that you must come over to eat fish tonight."
"No, no, it's just a small matter."
Uncle Lu waved his hand and left happily.
As soon as he left, Huang Xinran stared at the fish in the basket, thinking of several ways to eat it, and couldn't help but drooling.
"Mom, mom, let's catch one more, catch one more!"
Yaya was so happy that she kept clapping her hands and looking at her with hope.
Huang Xinran was so excited that she said, "Wait, Mommy will catch another one for Yaya!"
