Chapter 150: Securing the Second Badge
Before leaving, Pei Yanchuan looked at the strong sunlight outside, turned around and took out a brown hat from his suitcase and put it on Xu Wang, then put on a black hat of the same style for himself.
Pei Yanchuan casually picked up a fan from the cabinet.
The two walked along the path in front of their house. The afternoon sun was strong, and Xu Wang's forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat after walking for a short while.
Xu Wang is not very heat-tolerant. As soon as he starts to sweat, he can't help but frown. He really wants to go back to an air-conditioned room, or even just have an electric fan.
Seeing this, Pei Yanchuan silently fanned Xu Wang with his fan.
Pei Yanchuan gently fanned Xu Wang's T-shirt, and Xu Wang instantly felt much cooler.
[President Pei is so thoughtful and considerate!]
[This is the kind of treatment I only received from my mother when I was very young.]
[Don't even mention it, I just tried to ask my mom to fan me for a bit, and the next second the banana leaf fan hit my butt (so emo)]
[My mom has already broken three banana leaf fans by hitting me with them; the record is documented (image: three broken banana leaf fans)]
[Upstairs, please teach me how to replace the little bamboo stick my dad is holding with this kind of fan. I'm really about to lose it. (ps: I'm already 19, please help me!)]
[While you guys were chatting, I successfully placed an order for the same hat. Now I have the same item as my crush! I'm so happy!]
[!! Upstairs, you have no sportsmanship!!!]
[No, I just want to ask, what's wrong with having one more rich person in the world? A five-figure hat just sold out like that?]
[I finally wanted to make a purchase, but what if it's sold out?]
[MYLOVE brand is notorious for its limited stock and high prices (facepalm).]
[Does this brand still have stock? I missed out (crying)]
[It's highly unlikely; I've never seen this brand restock.]
Xu Wang pulled Pei Yanchuan to a shady spot, and the two planned to stand there for a while to cool off until the sun was weaker before slowly searching.
There was a small pond not far from where the two were.
An old man using a lotus leaf as a hat is sitting on his small stool fishing.
Xu Wang's eyes lit up! Fishing!
Pei Yanchuan keenly sensed Xu Wang's curiosity and took the initiative to pull Xu Wang to the old man's side. Fortunately, this spot was a large shady area, so the two of them would not be exposed to the sun again.
Xu Wang looked down at the bucket next to the old man. Oh wow, there were quite a few fish in the bucket, mostly carp, crucian carp, and whitebait.
"Grandpa, how long have you been fishing?" Xu Wang asked curiously, squatting down next to the old man.
"Not long, maybe two hours," the old man replied cheerfully, wearing a lotus leaf hat.
"The fish in this pond are thriving!" Xu Wang looked at the small pond in front of him in surprise. It wasn't very big, but there were quite a few fish.
"That's right, I've only been fishing for two hours and I've already caught half a bucket, and there are even big fish in this pond." The old man smiled and threw out another fatal temptation to Xu Wang. Telling a fishing enthusiast that there are big fish? Which fishing enthusiast could refuse that? Xu Wang certainly couldn't.
"How big is the big fish?" Xu Wang asked curiously.
"At least this number." The old man raised a fist.
"10 jin?" Xu Wang was a little disappointed; he had thought it would be several tens of jin.
"What do you mean 10 jin is 10 kilograms?"
"That's a 20-pound fish!" Xu Wang rubbed his hands together in front of him. What to do? He was itching to cast his line.
Xu Wang looked around and suddenly his eyes lit up when he saw several bamboo fishing rods lying on the ground not far away.
"Grandpa, I wonder if we could borrow a couple of your fishing rods?" Xu Wang said with a smile to the old man in front of him.
"Sure, feel free to use it." The old man enthusiastically introduced the fishing rod he had made to the two of them.
Looking at the smooth bamboo pole in front of him, Xu Wang couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "This is clearly made with care."
Xu Wang handed a fishing rod to Pei Yanchuan. It was the first time Pei Yanchuan had ever seen such a homemade fishing rod, and he held it in his hand and examined it for a long time.
Wow, is this a fishing rod I made myself? It looks so exquisite!
[Can you really catch fish with this?]
[Yes, my father once bought a fishing rod made specifically of bamboo, and it wasn't cheap (eating melon seeds)]
[This looks like an old-fashioned craft.]
[Xu Wang and Pei will go fishing? How come they can do everything?]
With no fish food available, Xu Wang could only find some earthworms on the ground nearby and hang them up.
It must be said that there are indeed many fish here; the two fished and made a splash not long after casting their lines into the water.
Xu Wang looked at the carp he had caught. It wasn't particularly big, but it weighed about three pounds.
Pei Yanchuan caught a golden yellow catfish. This fish has different names in different places. Some places call it Ga Ya Zi, and some places call it Huang La Ding. It has many names, and if it is wild, it will not be cheap to sell.
Xu Wang didn't play for very long; he just got his fill of playing for a bit.
Pei Yanchuan was very lucky; he caught 5 fish, 4 of which were yellow catfish, and they were all quite large.
The two returned the fishing rod to the old man and also gave him the fish they had just caught.
The old man quickly declined, but when he realized it was no use, he reached into his pocket and, as he stretched out his hand and spread his fingers, a small golden fish badge appeared in front of the two of them.
? ? ?
Xu Wang could hardly believe his eyes. Had he just gotten lucky?
The fans and viewers in the live stream were also surprised when they saw the suddenly appearing golden badge; their luck was truly incredible.
[This is incredibly lucky!]
[Which pattern does this correspond to? I don't understand.]
[There should have been a stick figure standing on that little square, holding a stick. Turns out it wasn't a stick, it was a fishing rod! (laughs and cries)]
[Director, your drawing talent is truly divine.]
[Luck is also part of ability, honey, let's go, CEO Pei, and try to get the remaining two!]
Xu Wang had been away from the pond for quite a while and still hadn't come to his senses when he suddenly received a golden badge.
Xu Wang slightly raised the small fish badge in his hand, pointing it towards the sun. The sunlight shone on the golden badge, reflecting a golden light.
Seeing this, Pei Yanchuan reached out and gently shielded Xu Wang's eyes: "Don't look directly into the sun, it's too bright."
...
On the other side, Qin Huai and Gu Yunlan walked to the edge of the paddy fields in the village.
The village's paddy fields are divided into rectangular plots, filled with green rice plants, which looks very soothing.
Standing by the paddy field, you can almost feel a cool breeze blowing by.
Gu Yunlan took out her phone and opened the picture the director had drawn: "Honey, what exactly did the director draw in those two remaining pictures?"
Qin Huai stared at the two patterns in front of him, lost in thought.
Gu Yunlan wasn't upset that his wife didn't respond. He put down his phone and looked again at the comforting paddy field in front of him. Suddenly, he seemed to have discovered a big secret.
Gu Yunlan slowly raised her phone again, then put it down. These irregular rectangles looked just like the rice paddy in front of her. After all, the rice paddy in front of her was also made up of many irregular rectangles pieced together to form a large area.
Gu Yunlan looked at Qin Huai beside her with surprise.
Qin Huai was pondering the two patterns and didn't notice Gu Yunlan's delighted expression beside him.
Gu Yunlan sidled up to his wife, hoping for praise. If possible, he might even get a small reward when he got home tomorrow night.
Gu Yunlan was happy just thinking about it.
Qin Huai had no intention of giving him any attention; on the contrary, he felt that Gu Yunlan was being a bit too noisy, so he gently pushed him away a little.
Gu Yunlan looked at his wife, who had suddenly moved a little further away from him, and turned his head in confusion. "Wife, why don't you look up at me?"
[Haha, I can't take it anymore, Actor Gu really looks like a giant golden retriever.]
[At this moment, Gu Yingdi's tail was practically falling to the ground in his dejection.]
[Those pitiful little eyes, sister-in-law, maybe we should just take a look at him.]
[Gu, the movie star, felt an overwhelming sadness: Who could live a life as miserable as mine? My wife ignores me, and she even pushes me away.]
[Actor Gu, looking dejected: I finally managed to be smart for once, but my wife just won't talk to me (ε=(′ο｀*))) Sigh).]
[No way, are you all mind readers? How do you know so much about him?]
"Wife." Gu Yunlan, displaying his unwavering spirit, once again approached Qin Huai.
"Speak," Qin Huai said without looking up.
"Honey, I think I know what one of the patterns means?" Gu Yunlan proudly raised her chin and looked up at me, urging me to hurry up and answer her question.
………………
Time ticked by, but Gu Yunlan still hadn't received a question. He looked down in confusion and saw Qin Huai calmly watching him. Gu Yunlan saw two words in his eyes.
You?
