Chapter 884: Child's Play
"Your fishing rod is gone. What are you going to do if you want to fish again?"
"No problem, I'll make another one when I have time."
Fishing allows me to free my mind, and my wife and kids all enjoy eating fresh fish cakes.
To be fair, Fu Jingyou really likes fishing.
I've been really busy recently.
Otherwise he would go fishing whenever he had time.
Speaking of making fishing rods.
Fu Jingyou thought that he could use it directly when he came back to rest, so he took some free time every few days and came back a little earlier.
He bought fish hooks, fishing lines and floats, and started to choose a bamboo pole that suits him in the yard.
There are not many bamboos in the north, and the bamboo poles that can be found are all those that have been cut down and discarded during green plant maintenance in parks.
Fu Jingyou had luckily picked up a small bundle before.
He held one in his left hand and one in his right hand, and was carefully selecting them by scanning them up and down.
I caught up with Xie Fei who was holding a big green watermelon.
Xie Fei felt bad that he couldn't apologize to Fu Jingyou in person about the fishing rod incident, so he came again as get out of class ended early today.
This time, Fu Jingyou happened to be at home.
Before he could apologize, Xie Fei saw the fishing line and float sticking out of a small red plastic bag and immediately understood what Fu Jingyou was doing.
Xie Fei felt a little embarrassed and a little ashamed.
If he hadn't broken the fishing rod, would people have bothered with all this?
Xie Fei was too embarrassed to explain.
Fu Jingyou waved his hand directly:
"It's not a big deal. Why would you send fish and watermelons? Don't take it too seriously."
As he spoke, Fu Jingyou glanced at the watermelon at his feet and said:
"You'd better take this melon back. We won't eat it at home."
Xie Fei thought that he was just saying that he didn't care, but in fact he was still unhappy about the fishing rod, so he refused to accept it.
It was not until Tang Mei came out to explain that Xie Fei finally understood what was going on.
"Shi An's father had an incident with watermelon. The child is upset and usually doesn't eat it at home."
Tang Mei picked up the six or seven jin watermelon and handed it back to Xie Fei:
"Take it back and eat it with Gu Ying. Ah, you live in the front and back doors. Don't be so polite. Don't come to my house to buy food in the future, otherwise your aunt will not like you."
Xie Fei had no choice but to take the watermelon:
"Well, okay, aunt, I'll go back first."
"Hey, go ahead!"
Tang Mei smiled and waved at him.
Xie Fei walked back holding the watermelon, and turned back when he reached the door.
In the yard, Fu Jingyou had already picked out a bamboo pole and had just tied one end of the fishing line to it. He was now letting out the line to measure the appropriate length.
Xie Fei saw that there were still a lot of bamboos at his feet, hesitated for a moment, finally took a deep breath, paced back to the yard, and said in a loud voice:
"Can you make one for me too!?"
"!?"
Fu Jingyou shuddered, startled without warning, covered his ears and looked back at him.
Xie Fei's face flushed crimson. Just one sentence seemed to be enough to kill him.
“…”
Fu Jingyou was speechless for a while, then nodded:
"OK……"
Unexpectedly, he agreed so readily. Xie Fei was stunned for a moment, and when he realized what was happening, his voice weakened.
"Thanks……"
“…”
Fu Jingyou was silent again.
Seeing that Xie Fei was indeed not the kind of person who was good at interpersonal communication, he did not bother with him.
After packing the fishing rod in his hand, Fu Jingyou gave it to Xie Fei first and mentioned casually:
"If you don't know how to fish, let's go together when we have time. I'll help you keep an eye on it."
"OK!"
Xie Fei smiled, and this time responded decisively and quickly.
Fu Jingyou nodded and said "hmm", then continued to busy himself with choosing a suitable rod.
Seeing this, Xie Fei stopped bothering him and walked away happily, holding the watermelon in one hand and the fishing rod in the other.
Tang Mei picked a few melons from the vegetable garden, took them to the well, pumped water into the pond.
Fu Jingyou was calculating the time.
After packing up his fishing rod, he got on his bike and went out to pick up his wife.
It was just a coincidence that Lu Yuanzheng came back to pick up the children as soon as he left.
As soon as a few children entered the house, the yard became noisy.
Tang Mei picked up the melon that had been cooled in well water, peeled it, and cut it into pieces, so that the children could enjoy a refreshing and crispy taste.
Afterwards, Tang Mei was washing vegetables by the well. Ming Xia was enjoying the melon, so she ran to the well with a small piece of melon in her hand and said,
"Grandma, the teacher said that tomorrow the school will organize a visit to the Martyrs' Cemetery to visit the graves. We need to bring our own lunch. Can you pack this melon for me?"
Mingxia was talking while eating, her little mouth sounded so cute, and she couldn't stop mumbling and praising "So sweet, so delicious".
Tang Mei smiled and agreed, then looked at the little girl lovingly and asked:
"Okay, will your class go? Is Shi An going?"
"Yes, all the elementary school students went."
"Oh, then I really need to get up early and prepare well tomorrow."
The old and young in the family were chatting and laughing.
The next day, several children dressed neatly, wearing red scarves, carrying small water bottles and school bags to attend the commemorative event held by the school.
After repeated rehearsals, this time the British Society dispatched most of its staff to the Capital Airport and the Foreign Affairs Office.
Arrive at the scene a few hours in advance so as to welcome Li Fang when he lands and show hospitality.
Lu Miao went through the procedures early in the morning and rushed to the Capital Airport with seven or eight reporters.
We were originally scheduled to pick him up at noon, but we ended up waiting on the red carpet at the business jet terminal until three or four in the afternoon, and still didn't see a single person.
The personnel assigned by various departments all complained and questioned what was going on.
Lu Miao is like this.
How can I not feel resentment?
For fear of missing time, the group didn’t even have lunch.
We have been waiting since morning until now and are so hungry that our chests are almost sticking to our backs.
It happened to be a formal occasion, so it was difficult to express complaints even if I was annoyed.
Lu Miao's temples were throbbing, and he stood up and was about to call to ask what was going on.
As a result, the above call came first.
When she stood up, a specialist came running over to inform her, waving and shouting from a distance:
"Something went wrong at the last minute. The plane is heading to the border. There's no need to pick it up here. Everyone, go back first! Thank you for your hard work today!"
"What? Wasn't this already finalized long ago? Why did you change your mind and only bring it up now? So much human resources were mobilized today just for this airport pick-up!"
"Alas! There's nothing I can do about it."
The commissioner who came to inform us frowned and said with a wry smile:
"They didn't communicate with the surface and changed the route without permission. The frontier didn't receive any instructions, so when they detected it, they thought it was an enemy fighter. They brought out all their weapons and almost shot it down..."
"this……"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and felt that this was a joke.
But what can they say regarding the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries?
They could only sigh in relief, and each department collected their professional equipment and hurried back.
The first step has changed, and the subsequent reception strategies will probably have to change accordingly.
The most urgent thing is to go back and see what the leaders say.
