Outsiders were not allowed to enter the village for many years, and when a few educated youth from the city finally came, everyone was keeping a close eye on them. Soon the news of Gu Wenshu falling into the water and spraining her ankle spread everywhere.
Fortunately, there were several men, women and children among them at the time, and the villagers thought the incident was funny and did not escalate to other levels.
"Okay, go back and rest, don't go out, you'll be fine tomorrow!"
When the few of them arrived at Sun Erye's house, Sun Erye straightened them out in a few seconds after taking a look.
It was just a matter of moving your fingers, and Master Sun didn't charge any money. Gu Wenshu thanked him and went home with everyone.
After sending them home, Xiang Nuan said a few words of concern and was about to take Shuangxi home. When they reached the gate, Zhang Ergang stopped her.
"To the educated youth."
Xiang Nuan turned and looked at him, "What's the matter, Comrade Zhang?"
Zhang Ergang swallowed nervously and stammered, "I, I caught two fish and can't eat them all. I'll give you one."
Xiang Nuan smiled and declined, "Thank you, but no thanks. We caught a lot of cicadas."
"No, you're welcome. Take it. I can catch more in the river later."
Zhang Er just finished speaking, and without further ado, he took the basket from Shuangxi's hand and dumped the biggest fish into it. He did it so fast that it made people doubt that he was the one who stuttered just now.
Shuangxi looked at the big fish that was longer than her arm and smiled so hard that her teeth were showing.
“Really.”
Xiang Nuan didn't want it. This thing is considered a valuable item nowadays. She also saw that this man liked her, but she couldn't respond, so she didn't want to accept it.
Zhang Ergang smiled and said, "You don't want me to give it to Shuangxi, Shuangxi likes to eat it."
"Thank you, Brother Ergang!"
Shuangxi was very familiar with Ergang, and when he heard that it was a gift for him, he didn't bother to be polite and accepted it happily.
"Sister Nuannuan, it's okay, Brother Ergang is fine!"
Children are children after all, and they don’t have so many twists and turns in their minds. Brother Ergang is not someone else, so just take it if it’s given to her.
Zhang Ergang nodded, "Take it. I can catch it in the river anytime."
Xiang Nuan smiled helplessly, "Okay then, thank you."
The two said goodbye, and the big one and the small one went back home carrying the fish and crickets. Before they reached the door, they ran into Wu Xiaoying who was walking out in a hurry.
"mother!"
"Aunt."
Wu Xiaoying was relieved to see that the two were fine. She had just heard from a neighbor that a female educated youth had fallen into the river. Although it was not Xiang Nuan, she was still worried and wanted to go over to check.
"I heard someone fell into the river. I was worried about you guys, so I went to check it out. What happened?"
"It's nothing, Gu Wenshu just sprained her ankle accidentally in the river. Master Sun has already checked it out, don't worry."
Wu Xiaoying nodded, "That's good. Did you catch this? Oh! There's a big fish!"
The basket is almost full, and you can tell we have harvested a lot.
Shuangxi raised the basket in his hand as if presenting a treasure, "Mom, this fish was given to me by Brother Ergang, and the crayfish were caught by Sister Nuannuan and me!"
Wu Xiaoying smiled and praised, "You two are quite good. Grab these old ones, wash them in a basin, and I'll stew them for you tonight!"
"Yeah! Mommy is the best!"
Shuangxi shouted loudly and hurried home with the basket on his back.
Today's dinner is very sumptuous, with braised carp with pancakes, crayfish tofu, and stir-fried shredded potatoes. Shuangxi is so happy that he is celebrating the New Year!
When the last dish was served, Wu Xiaoying looked out the door and said, "Why hasn't your father come back yet? Shuangxi, go check on the brigade headquarters."
"Okay!"
Shuangxi responded and ran out. As soon as he reached the door, he bumped into someone.
“Ouch!”
She was knocked almost to the ground, but the man was quick enough to grab her.
