It was noon, and Xie Ling looked at the fishing enthusiasts who were leaving with their bare rods, gave them a big smile, and welcomed them to come back next time.
However, his smile didn't last long as it was interrupted by a man holding a fishing rod in one hand and a fish weighing more than ten pounds in the other.
The man smiled at Xie Lin, who looked sullen. "Stationmaster Xie, come and weigh it! Don't worry, I have enough money. I won't buy on credit. My goal is to catch a really big fish. Next time, I'll bring a hundred-dollar bill and I'll definitely catch a super-sized fish. They say the fish head alone is enough to make a whole pot of soup. Then, I'll definitely treat Stationmaster Xie to a meal!"
Xie Lin snorted, "Huh! I didn't tell you. Who told you that? If you come here to fish every day, won't our park lose a lot of money?"
"Pfft! Speak nicely! It just opened today. I hope this park will stay open forever. I'll come here every day, regardless of summer or winter."
Those who didn't catch any fish laughed when they saw this man and heard what he said. This man was the best fisherman in the town. It was said that he never caught anything empty-handed. He had fished in all the big and small rivers in Huai County and could even catch whitebait in the Huai River.
Xie Lin reluctantly picked up the scale beside him. After weighing it, his heart ached even more. 13 kilograms! Only 19.5 yuan, enough for this man and his family to eat for a few days.
Seeing that the man bought a big fish with real money and took it home, those who didn't catch any fish decided to come again tomorrow, no, come back in the afternoon. There are fish in this lake, big fish, so the rumor of super big fish is not groundless.
Zhou Xiang listened to his cousin's chatter and said with a smile: "It's okay, there are a lot of fish in the lake, you can just sprinkle some feed occasionally to feed them, and you don't have to worry about it. As long as it can boost popularity!
It would be great if that person came every day! Wouldn’t that be a good advertisement for us?
Xie Ling finally understood. That's right! That man is often followed by a group of real and fake fishing enthusiasts holding fishing rods. If he comes here often, this Rain Lake will become famous.
"That fish, is it really worth it?"
Zhou Xiang shook his head, "It's not a loss, don't worry! But if you look so distressed every day, more people will come to fish."
Xie Lin blinked. Was he being asked to act? Fine! For the park, no, for the benefit of the food station, he did it.
He looked at the big fish that was bought for 1.5 yuan per catty, and even if he didn't lose money, he felt distressed! He was acting completely in his true colors.
Zhou Hua was about to go back to school when Zhou Xiang remembered the ginseng slices from Doctor Cao and asked Ling Ran to get them back.
Ling Ran took back the ginseng slices and told Zhou Xiang that Cao Xiaosong was back.
Zhou Xiang looked at him, waiting for his next words.
"He came back with his girlfriend, no, his fiancée. They had already held engagement banquets at her home and in the capital. He came back here to ask Doctor Cao if he wanted to hold it, but Doctor Cao didn't plan to."
"So he's already held two engagement parties in just two months of summer vacation? When did he come back?"
"Number 20."
"Yeah! It's still summer vacation. Alas! Things have changed! Many people have gone through many things and have slowly changed. Fortunately, Doctor Cao has Ren Qing to take care of him. If Ren Qing is unable to do so, we can hire someone to take care of Doctor Cao until he grows old!"
"Okay! One more doctor is not too many."
Zhou Xiang didn't plan to go to Doctor Cao, but Ren Qing came over.
"Think about it, sister."
"Ren Qing? Why are you here? Come into the living room and sit down."
Ren Qing followed Zhou Xiang into the living room, and Zhou Xiang poured her a glass of boiled water.
Ren Qing took a sip of boiled water and said, "Sister Xiangxiang, can I come over and stay for a few days?"
"Okay, you have to tell me what happened."
Ren Qing was a little embarrassed to speak, and hesitated for a long time before speaking: "That Yao Qian, Cao Xiaosong's fiancée, is always finding faults. The rice is too hard or too soft, and the dishes are too salty or too bland. I know that she actually wants to drive me away. She also doesn't allow me to sleep in the room, and only lets me sleep on the bed in the clinic to avoid encountering them when entering the yard.
She was too nervous about Cao Xiaosong. Any woman who approached Cao Xiaosong was her imaginary enemy. She was so exhausted, why would she still look for someone who looked like Cao Xiaosong?
Ren Qing didn't dare to call Cao Xiaosong brother. When she started to do so, Yao Qian spoke sarcastically to her. So, she called him by his name in front of others and in private.
After hearing this, Zhou Xiang felt very dissatisfied. Cao Xiaosong said he would come back during the summer vacation, but he came back when the summer vacation was almost over. With Mr. Yue's strength, how much time could be wasted on an engagement banquet?
At most, it would take time to take care of the woman's side, but his adoptive father, who had worked wholeheartedly for his life for more than 30 years, was forgotten by him. Now he can't even tolerate the people who take care of him?
It is impossible for Cao Xiaosong not to see Yao Qian's behavior, but for the sake of his fiancée, he even sacrificed the assistant that his adoptive father was willing to guide until his later years. Can he still be relied upon?
"That's all?"
Ren Qing paused before saying, "She also secretly warned me that the Cao family's medical skills and Doctor Cao's legacy were not something I could covet."
Zhou Xiang smiled. "What on earth does Cao Xiaosong like about her?"
"If you see Yao Qian, you'll understand. She's very cute. I can only avoid her and let her be until she leaves."
Zhou Xiang disagreed, "No, if you give in once, you'll have to give in every step. Just from what I've heard, I know that Doctor Cao couldn't rely on her in his later years, yet she still wants to monopolize the so-called inheritance."
Ren Qing shook her head, "Think about it, sister. I'm willing to give in. Doctor Cao likes quietness."
These words dispelled the resentment in Zhou Xiang's heart.
Ling Ran knew the little girl was speaking up for Ren Qing, so he tried to dissuade her, "It's inappropriate for you to intervene. Are you going to threaten her by using her lifesaver as a pretext? The fact that Yao Qian dared to threaten Ren Qing like that shows she's been spoiled by Cao Xiaosong."
"Oh!" Zhou Xiang sighed, feeling very suffocated. "What do you think we should do?"
"Don't care about anything, don't ask anything. Doctor Cao is not a confused person. He is over 80 years old. What kind of person can't he see through? Ren Qing will stay here first and see what Cao Xiaosong and Doctor Cao will do!"
Zhou Xiang nodded helplessly, "Okay! I'll listen to you."
Ren Qing came empty-handed, so Zhou Xiang prepared some toiletries for her and then found a set of summer clothes for her from the pile of clothes her mother had put away.
He looked at the new summer clothes, and then looked at Ren Qing beside him. This girl was no longer the country girl she was at the beginning. Maybe because she no longer had the opportunity to go out to find medicinal herbs, her skin color had become much whiter. When she put on the old clothes he gave her, her whole temperament had changed a lot.
If you say she is a girl from a big city, people will believe it, especially her dark round eyes, which seem to be able to speak, making people unable to help but look at her twice.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xiang turned around to look at Ling Ran. Ling Ran was standing at the door waiting, his eyes always on her.
When he saw her looking at him, he grinned.
Zhou Xiang handed the summer clothes to Ren Qing and pointed at the large package of clothes and said, "Here are all the clothes I retired and can't wear anymore. Take a look and if you like anything, take it away. If they are left here, they will either get damaged or my mother will give them away. They are all given away as gifts, so don't be polite and take your own."
"Thank you, Sister Xiangxiang!" Ren Qing was very happy because there were many beautiful clothes here.
Ren Qing stayed at Zhou's house.
