Ever since he met Ruibao in Jing City, Liu Shuning has never been to the black market again.
She stayed at home with Lu's mother to fry meatballs, make glutinous rice cakes, and prepare New Year's goods.
People in Northeast China don't make glutinous rice cakes during the New Year, but Liu Shuning made thirty or forty sugar cakes because he loved to eat them.
Time passed quickly and it was New Year's Eve. Early in the morning, Liu Shuning took Chunxiao and Sanjun to the river with fishing gear.
The river is now frozen, so if you want to fish you can only make a hole in the ice first.
Liu Shuning did not take action. She found a good place and let Chunxiao and Sanjun take action, letting them compete to see who could smash it faster.
"Aunt San, I'm fine."
Even though Sanjun is older than Chunxiao, his strength is still not as good as Chunxiao who has taken the power pill.
"Chunxiao, how come you are so fast? Did you cheat?" Sanjun was unconvinced. How could Chunxiao be better than him?
"I didn't cheat. It was obviously you who was lazy and didn't use enough force when you smashed the ice." Chun Xiao suppressed the smile on her lips. She did it on purpose. Who let Sanjun Yichu bully her? He also wanted her to call him big brother, which was impossible. It was more like calling her big sister.
"I've tried very hard. Look, my hands are all red." Sanjun now doubted whether he really was not working hard enough as Chunxiao said. Otherwise, how could he be worse than a five-year-old sister?
"You made your hands red on purpose, didn't you? Humph, you're just lazy and you don't want to admit it." Chunxiao made several faces at him where Sanjun couldn't see.
"I didn't, aunt, please believe me." Sanjun looked at Liu Shuning pitifully, hoping that she could say something for him.
Liu Shuning was amused by the two funny guys. These two bickering lovers played together every day and quarreled every day.
"Okay, you two stop messing around and follow me. Be careful not to step on the ice." Falling into the river in this weather is no joke. You could lose half your life in a matter of minutes.
Liu Shuning repaired the gap made by Chunxiao and then started fishing.
After a while, the fishing rod moved suddenly.
Liu Shuning's eyes lit up, a fish had taken the bait. She quickly began to reel in the line, and a fat crucian carp was pulled out of the water.
"Wow, Third Aunt is so awesome! We have fish to eat tonight." Chunxiao jumped up excitedly. She was really happy.
Sanjun on the side also echoed, "Aunt, you are awesome. You caught a fish so quickly."
"You two, be quiet! Don't scare my fish away." The two little brats spoke so loudly that she was almost deafened.
Chunxiao quickly covered her mouth, fearing that the fish would be scared away.
Maybe he was lucky today. In less than half an hour, Liu Shuning caught more than a dozen fish.
The largest one was a ten-jin carp, and the rest were mostly crucian carps weighing around half a jin, and there was only one grass carp.
"Let's go, we're going home." Half a bucket of fish was enough for the two families to share.
"Aunt, aren't we going to continue fishing?" Sanjun looked at the fishing spot reluctantly several times. He had chosen such a good spot today, it would be a shame not to continue fishing.
"Aunt San, why don't we fish for a while longer? It's still early and it's not time for lunch yet." Chunxiao didn't want to go so early either. She hadn't had enough fishing yet!
"No, today is New Year's Eve, and I still have to go prepare the New Year's Eve dinner. The weather is so cold, we can't stay outside for too long. It's New Year's Day, and it would be bad to catch a cold."
