Chapter 544 I'll Teach You
Hundred-year-old willow trees on both sides of the river are bent in an irregular pattern, and at intervals there is a cluster of reeds swaying in the wind.
The water surface shimmers under the sunlight, and occasionally you can see a pair of mandarin ducks floating on the water and diving in and out.
It is quite quiet and beautiful, and also quite artistic.
Lu Miao wanted to praise Fu Jingyou for choosing a good spot, but when he turned around, he saw him squatting there tying a fishhook and taking out a roll of fishing line from somewhere.
No wonder he said he needed to bring a bucket. It turns out he came here to fish.
But this fishing rod is a bit too simple.
It was just a relatively straight branch that I picked up from the roadside.
The float is just a small stick tied to it?
"Will this catch fish?"
Fu Jingyou smiled with his peach blossom eyes and said frankly:
"Whether or not I can catch fish is secondary. Taking you out for some fresh air is the main thing."
He took out tomatoes and cucumbers from the basket and asked her to take them, then took out a small box.
It was filled with small earthworms that I had dug up from the vegetable patch when I went out.
Lu Miao felt disgusted and retreated to the shade of the willow tree to hide far away.
"You run around to the same few places every day. How many times have you not left the house?"
Fu Jingyou chuckled, put the earthworm on and swung the rod out, muttering in a low and pleasant voice:
"The last time I went out was during the summer vacation when I went to the Forbidden City."
Lu Miao pouted, unable to refute, so he pretended not to hear, picked up a tomato and ate it, leisurely enjoying the scenery.
The sweet and sour food refreshes the mouth, and when the breeze blows, the restlessness in the chest disappears and it feels quite comfortable.
The fishing rod looked like a dead tree trunk. Lu Miao looked down on it and was sure that Fu Jingyou would not be able to catch any fish, so he didn't take it too seriously.
But things developed in the opposite way to what was expected.
Before she had even taken two bites of her tomato, Fu Jingyou shouted:
"Quick, bring the bucket over here!"
Lu Miao was startled. "A fish took the bait? So quickly?"
If you look closely, isn’t that right?
The fishing line was stretched straight, Fu Jingyou lifted the rod, and a small fish with a green back and a white belly was pulled ashore in an instant.
Seeing this, Lu Miao quickly picked up a small bucket, filled it with water, and placed it next to Fu Jingyou's legs.
Fu Jingyou took the fishhook and threw the fish into the bucket, with the earthworm still hanging on the hook.
Fu Jingyou adjusted it and threw the hook back into the water.
Lu Miao squatted beside the bucket and watched the little fish, which were jumping around with a "splash, splash" sound and seemed quite active.
"What kind of fish is this? I don't think I've seen it before?"
"They're occasionally sold in the market. If you go early, you'll see them. They call them xiaobaitiao."
Lu Miao nodded and said "Oh", and wanted to say something, but Fu Jingyou's expression became serious again. He stared at the water for a while and then lifted the rod.
“Again!”
The tree branch fishing rod that Lu Miao looked down upon was catching fish one after another.
Maybe there are not many people fishing, so the fish are not that smart. Once they bite the hook, they can be pulled ashore easily.
Lu Miao was originally reluctant to go out, but now he saw Fu Jingyou bringing up a small whitebait and a small crucian carp.
She had no time to eat the tomatoes and could not help but concentrate on staring at the floating small wooden stick.
Looking forward to catching fish again.
As she expected, the float sank to the bottom of the water as if nodding.
Another fish is biting!
She wanted to shout nervously, but was afraid of scaring the fish away, so she covered her mouth like a simple little girl, holding her breath and waiting nervously.
Fu Jingyou glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and swiftly lifted the fish ashore.
This time it was another crucian carp, but it was the biggest one.
Looking at his bulging belly, Lu Miao said:
“There must be fish roe!”
"Um."
Fu Jingyou hung up the earthworms with a "hmm" sound and waved to her:
"Come and try it."
"Me? I can't..."
Lu Miao wanted to give it a try just now, but she didn't know how.
If Fu Jingyou pulled up a few more, he would have enough to eat a whole plate at home.
Don't let her mess around, the pole will be broken.
Fu Jingyou didn't care. He pulled her over and stood in front of her, holding her hand and grabbing the fishing rod.
"It's just for fun. If you don't know how, I'll teach you. What are you afraid of?"
He held her in his arms and swung her hand out, being extremely gentle and patient.
Lu Miao was comforted by him, nodded slightly and stared at the water nervously.
In just half a minute, the float trembled.
She whispered nervously, "We've got a fish, Brother You!"
"Don't be anxious, wait a moment..."
Just as the float was sinking, Fu Jingyou said decisively:
"carry!"
Lu Miao quickly finished the shot.
She used too much force, causing the fish to become detached from the rod, but fortunately the fish was brought to shore.
Amid her nervous exclamation, Fu Jingyou was quick and caught the fish and threw it into the bucket before it jumped into the river.
Lu Miao clutched the dry branch fishing rod, his face flushed and looking energetic, he said excitedly and nervously:
"I almost let it get away!"
"It was almost there, but luckily I caught it."
Fu Jingyou asked with a teasing smile:
"Do you want to come?" Lu Miao was interested and nodded actively, "Yes!"
Fu Jingyou then adjusted the fishing hook for her, held her hand and continued to guide her to swing the rod.
In just over an hour, the bucket was filled with more than two kilograms of small fish.
Lu Miao was in a good mood and enjoyed the fun of fishing. Fu Jingyou washed his hands and packed up, and took her home before the mosquitoes gathered in the afternoon.
She excitedly said that she would come again next time when she had free time.
Fu Jingyou nodded tenderly:
"Okay, if you want to come, we'll arrange a time."
"I want a fishing rod too. Please fix it for me. This big tree fork is just too makeshift... I was afraid someone would pass by and see me and laugh at me."
Fu Jingyou laughed helplessly, he could only pamper her and listen to her:
"Okay, I'll go back and ask where I can get some bamboo so I can make two decent ones."
"Hmm~"
Lu Miao's eyebrows raised and her mood became happy and cheerful.
I went home and cleaned up the small fish. I fried some of them that night and marinated some of them with salt to drain out the moisture and eat them tomorrow.
Perhaps it was because I had contributed to the harvest of these fish.
For dinner, Lu Miao ate a bowl of rice with crispy fried fish.
She seldom ate so happily recently. When Tang Mei saw it, she kept praising her, saying how great and amazing she was.
He used all the same tricks on her that he usually used to praise Bao Erbao and the others.
Lu Miao felt a little embarrassed, but the three children were ignorant and followed the adults, imitating them, looking at her and shouting "Great, awesome!"
Lu Miao was speechless for a while, then put on a stern face and pretended to be angry. He tapped the three little ones on the forehead one by one and told them to eat their food seriously.
The three little "geigei" smiled and obeyed obediently.
Fu Jingyou looked at the happy family scene, opened the fish belly, picked up a whole piece of fish roe and put it into her bowl:
"Xiaobao also eats seriously."
Lu Miao glared at him and scolded him:
"devil!"
Dabao held up the spoon and followed suit:
"Damn dad~"
Lu Miao nodded at his brow, stopped him and said:
"Don't say that about Dad."
Dabao covered his head innocently, "Mom said that too?"
"Mom was wrong. I won't say it again."
Dabao immediately admitted his mistake and said, "Mom, I was wrong too. I won't say that again."
