"Were they really caught in the river behind the mountain? Oh my God! I never thought there would be so many fish in the river behind the mountain!" While having dinner at the dining table in the main hall in the evening, Mrs. Gao had not yet digested the fact that her third son went fishing in the river behind the mountain, and caught 5 big fish in one go.
So many big fish are worth a lot of money!
She just looked left and right and couldn't bear to put the bucket down. Tonight she could even laugh in her dreams. How could her third boy be so capable? He was much more capable than their father.
At that time, their father also fished in the mountain river for a long time and caught a fish.
She was very happy when her husband brought home a fish, let alone when the children caught five fish.
Mrs. Gao was talking about this with Gao Tuan, who was also finding it hard to believe that his third son had actually caught five fish while ice fishing in the back hills this afternoon.
He just went to the backyard and saw five palm-sized fish swimming in the basin. Gao Tuan was overjoyed and thought these three guys were really lucky.
It is not easy for every family to eat meat nowadays. People have been fishing in the river behind the mountain. He has fished there several times before. A few years ago, he could still catch a few fish. Now, forget it. It is good to catch one occasionally.
Today his three little boys gave him a big surprise, so he asked them how they caught the fish.
Mrs. Gao also asked excitedly, "Yes, yes, how did you catch the fish? Did Miss Yang catch it?"
Mrs. Gao was worried that Miss Yang hadn't caught any fish, and thinking about how the third brother often took advantage of the Chen family, she planned to send a fish over.
"Mom, Auntie Yang won't accept the fish even if you give her to her!" Gao Zhi simply explained how he caught it and said with admiration, "Auntie Yang was amazing today. She caught more than a dozen fish!"
Gao Xiang and Gao Yuan also agreed. Gao Yuan said proudly, "Aunt Yang has plenty of fish. She doesn't care about our fish!"
"What? A dozen?"
"What? Oh my god, more than ten?"
Gao Tuan and Gao Dasao took a deep breath and were stunned. Gao Dasao's voice was shaking. The couple didn't believe it, but their third son swore so firmly that the couple couldn't help but believe it.
The three Gao brothers also said that Fang Xiaobao, Liang Goudan, and Niu Weiguo also caught a lot of fish, but Aunt Yang caught the most fish.
The three brothers spoke with envy and admiration. The couple were not only amazed by the amount of fish Yang Meizi (younger sister-in-law) caught, but also by the other children who were also caught.
Gao Tuan looked doubtful and asked, "Are there still so many fish in the river behind our mountain?"
Mrs. Gao: "How should I know?"
Gao Tuan said, "How about I go to the back mountain to have a look tomorrow when I'm free?"
Gao Zhi said seriously at this time: "We were fishing at the beginning, but then we ran out of fish! Aunt Yang didn't catch any fish either! We were lucky today, we got there at the right time, all the fish in the river swam into the ice hole where we were fishing!"
He also said that Liang Goudan and Niu Weiguo were in a terrible situation today. They went fishing from morning to afternoon but didn't catch a single fish. They were so disappointed.
Gao Xiang immediately responded proudly: "Later they followed us and caught fish."
Gao Yuan, who was eating, echoed: "That's right! That's right!"
Well, it seems these guys are really lucky today. Gao Tuan temporarily gave up the idea of going to the back mountain to catch fish.
Mrs. Gao thought so too, and the couple didn't think much about it. After all, catching a few more fish occasionally was not a big deal, and the couple could totally accept it.
But Mrs. Gao still felt that being a good person is good, good people will be rewarded, and Miss Yang is a good person, and this is not only very lucky. Thinking back to the time when Miss Yang picked up wild boars and rabbits, not to mention Mrs. Gao, even Gao Tuan admired the luck of the younger sister-in-law, and I'm afraid these guys are taking advantage of her luck.
Mrs. Gao was looking at the three children with a kind and happy face at this moment, and the three brothers of the Gao family got goosebumps all over their bodies at the sight of their mother's 'gentle' gaze.
Gao Yuan said that he would cook fish tomorrow. Mrs. Gao did not scold him but agreed. Gao Zhigao looked at the two brothers with shining eyes and said hurriedly, "Mom, you must keep your word!"
"Okay! You three brothers are so capable, mother will cook a fish for you tomorrow!" Mrs. Gao gritted her teeth and agreed.
The same thing happened to the Niu, Liang, and Fang families.
The Niu family, when Niu Weiguo brought the four fish home with a proud look on his face, the whole Niu family was surprised, especially Mrs. Niu, who was stunned and could not believe that these fish were caught in the river behind their Baodan family.
After all, she knew the river behind the mountain very well. It had been fished out by everyone a few years ago. Her husband had gone fishing there several times but had caught nothing.
She had just been complaining to her husband about how her baby boy couldn't possibly catch any fish, and why he had nothing better to do than to go to the back hill to freeze. She never imagined that the kid could actually catch fish, and even catch four at once.
Mrs. Niu was stunned for a moment, then she quickly and happily carried the bucket to herself. She and her husband stared at the fish in the bucket with surprise, and excitedly said that she would cook fish for them in the evening.
The two daughters of the Niu family were very happy to have fish to eat, and Niu Weiguo was also particularly happy.
"Baby, how come you are so successful!"
Seeing his parents' ecstatic expressions, Niu Weiguo was very proud: "Mom, I told you I could catch fish! Dad couldn't catch any fish, but I caught four!"
"You are better than your father!"
Niu Tuan: “…”
Fang Xiaobao and Liang Goudan also carried four fish in the buckets back home, which dazzled Fang's mother, Deputy Tuan Fang, and the Liang family.
After all, it is rare to have fishy food nowadays. It is normal not to have fishy food for ten days or half a month. It really ruined their happiness that their children caught so many fish.
Fang's mother, Deputy Tuan Fang and a group of adults in the Liang family were really happy, especially Fang's mother. The atmosphere in several families was even more lively than usual during the Chinese New Year.
Shuying had just brought the child back to her yard with a bucket. The lights in the main room of the house were on. She hurriedly took the child into the main room. There were a lot of luggage and packages on the table in the main room. The next second, her husband had just finished taking a shower and came out of the backyard with steam all over his body and wet hair.
Shuying could hardly believe her eyes. She blinked to make sure her man was really back. She was immediately surprised.
The man was still tall and straight, and he looked particularly smart in his military coat and trousers. His face had become thinner, and his facial features had become more sharp and profound. His aura was stronger and more powerful than before. When he scanned people, his eyes were always filled with scrutiny, which made people's hearts skip a beat.
However, under Shuying's surprised gaze, the man's cold brows immediately softened and he walked over with steady steps.
"Uncle!"
It was fine when Chen Yi didn't see anyone, but when he saw his uncle, he missed him very much and immediately ran over like a firecracker to hug his legs.
Chen Xi hugged the child, then put him down and walked to his wife and picked up the wooden bucket. He hadn't seen his wife for a long time, and his eyes were fixed on her face. He stared at her for a long time without moving away and did not speak for a long time.
"What's wrong? Don't you recognize me?" Shuying smiled and pursed her lips. She thought that although she had changed a lot, it would be a bit exaggerated to say that she couldn't recognize her. After all, it wasn't like she had changed her face.
But she didn't know that this would have a great impact on her man. After all, skin color is very important to people. It is said that a fair complexion can hide three uglinesses. Her facial features were originally delicate and beautiful. After the skin color changed, the advantages of her delicate and beautiful facial features were fully displayed, and her appearance value rose sharply.
It is no exaggeration to say that there have been earth-shaking changes. There seems to be some changes in temperament as well.
One can imagine the impact of the first sight on a man who hadn't seen her for several months.
So, after approaching, Chen Xi was indeed a little hesitant to recognize her: "Daughter-in-law...wife?"
"When did you come back?"
"So many fish? Where did they come from?"
The couple said in unison. Before they could reply, Chen Yi interrupted and shouted in a childish voice, "Uncle, all the fish were caught by Auntie. We just came back from fishing in the back mountain. There were so many fish in that river. Auntie is amazing!"
Chen Xi glanced into the barrel and saw at least a dozen fish in it. He was stunned for a moment, and Shuying was a little cautious, then smiled: "We are lucky today! Not only did I catch some fish, but many other children also caught a lot!"
Chen Yi changed his aloof look and continued chattering non-stop, talking like a little loudspeaker, saying how many fish the three Gao brothers, Liang Goudan, and Niu Weiguo had caught, and how many fish his aunt had caught. Hearing this, Chen Xi looked at her frequently.
Shuying was so blown by the child that he covered his face with his hands and could only say, "Good luck! Good luck!"
The weather was cold, and Shuying noticed that her man was not wearing many clothes, so she asked him to go into the house and put on a sweater while she went to the kitchen to cook dinner.
In front of the child, no matter how close Chen Xi wanted to be to his wife, he had to keep his distance. He took the child into the house, and Shuying went to the kitchen to cook.
There were many dishes in the counter. In the evening, she fried a bowl of sour beans and minced meat with mushroom meat sauce. She added plenty of seasoning and it tasted very good.
In addition to pickled beans and minced meat, there was a braised fish dish. Her husband had just come home, so she let go and cooked for a rare occasion. She cooked all meat and stewed half a pot of radish bones for her husband to supplement his nutrition.
The radish bone soup doesn’t cook so quickly, let it cook slowly.
When the family of three sat down to eat, Shuying told them that there was some radish and bone soup in the kitchen, and asked them to eat slowly to fill their stomachs.
Drinking more radish bone soup later will be good for your health.
Chen Xi saw that there was fish and meat on the table, and his wife had even specially stewed some carrot and pork ribs soup for him to nourish his body. His hard brows softened completely, and when he looked at people, there was such tenderness in his eyes that it seemed as if water could drown them. He didn't look away for a long time, and his gaze was very burning.
Shuying felt a little embarrassed to be stared at, and coughed: "Why are you looking at me? It's time to eat!"
