Chapter 283 We can't lose!
Lou Dashuai remained silent for a long time, his tiger-like eyes fixed intently on Mr. Langdon.
Mr. Langdon rambled on and on, but seeing that he was staring at him silently and no one was responding, he gradually ran out of things to say and stopped awkwardly.
He wondered to himself: He hadn't noticed that Mr. Lou was so quiet before; he had talked to his daughter the whole way here.
Oh, is it because you're talking to your daughter that you're talking so much?
That's right, he should be like Mr. Lou and tell Sophie everything. The lack of communication between father and daughter is what causes misunderstandings. They clearly love each other, but they don't understand each other's inner thoughts.
I've learned something!
Mr. Langdon silently noted it down in his mind, then focused on continuing to fish.
Lou Wenshan, standing next door, was torn between his inner turmoil and his own conscience.
What does this mean exactly?
This foreign devil has a daughter at home, and she's already interested in his?!
That little foreigner was certainly not as cute as his Mao Mao, but this wasn't the first time Mao Mao had been coveted. This French envoy was no ordinary man either. If he were to propose adopting Mao Mao as his goddaughter... No way! Of course, he couldn't agree!
But what if Mao Mao thinks this bastard with yellow hair and blue eyes is unusual?
This foreigner has a little foreigner at home who is friends with Mao Mao. Mao Mao definitely likes playing with children.
Just as Lou Dashuai was pondering, Mr. Langdon, who was sitting next to him, moved his fishing rod.
Mr. Langdon exclaimed, "...They've taken the bait!"
He picked up his fishing rod, caught a small fish from the pond, and threw it into the bucket.
Mr. Langdon looked at the little fish with a beaming smile: "Looks like I'm having a lucky day."
However, one small fish was clearly not enough for so many people. He rebaited the fish and continued fishing with great enthusiasm.
Lou Wenshan: "..."
no!
Who cares if he doesn't, he just can't lose!
Make sure Mao Mao knows that he is the best dad!
Lou Dashuai also perked up and focused intently on the pond, fishing for his daughter.
He just had bad luck today.
A short while later, Mr. Langdon caught another fish, and he still caught nothing.
Mr. Langdon said with a smile, "Oh, I'm having such a lucky day. It seems my little Sophie can have her wish fulfilled."
Commander Lou: "..."
Mr. Langdon: "...Oh! They've taken the bait again!"
Mr. Langdon: "The fourth one!"
Mr. Langdon: "Haha, Lady Luck is on my side today!"
Little Sophie was drawn over by Mr. Langdon's exclamation. Looking at the harvest in the bucket, her bright green eyes sparkled: "Daddy, you're amazing!"
"My darling, eat as much as you want today, Daddy will fulfill all your wishes."
"Daddy, you are the best dad!"
Commander Lou: "…………"
He looked down at his empty bucket.
Lou Dashuai put down the fishing rod, and after a while, he picked up Mao Mao and took the fishing rod again.
Mao Mao tilted her head back and asked in confusion, "Dad?"
Lou Dashuai lowered his head and coaxed her, "Mao Mao, just sit here and fish with Daddy for a while. Daddy will catch fish for you to eat."
"oh."
Mao Mao sat obediently in her father's arms.
Before long, Lou Dashuai's fishing rod also caught fish one after another, and soon the number of fish in the bucket exceeded that of Mr. Langdon next to him.
Lou Hongjian was speechless: "Dad can't catch fish, so he cheats by having Mao Mao do it. That's shameless."
Lou Fengju stroked his chin, also puzzled: "Why did he suddenly start being so competitive?"
Lou Yansui: "Who upset Dad?"
Unable to come up with anything, the three shook their heads and continued gathering firewood.
The collected branches were piled up, lit with matches, and the fish that were caught were grilled on top. A pot of fish soup was also cooked.
The adults present all had extensive outdoor experience, and they were quite adept at making these things. Soon, Mao Mao was already drooling from the aroma, and she and Sophie stared at the pot with bright eyes.
Once the fish soup was ready, Lou Fengju first served a bowl to the two children: "Mao Mao, come here, be careful it's hot."
"Thank you, brother."
Mao Mao held the small bowl and blew on it.
After letting it cool down a little, she couldn't wait to hold the bowl and take a big gulp.
The fish soup was pan-fried before cooking, turning it milky white, until the bones practically dissolved in the broth. Mao Mao buried her face in the small bowl and quickly drank the soup clean.
"Brother," Mao Mao said, licking her lips, still wanting more, "Mao Mao wants another bowl."
"Of course, no problem." Lou Fengju served her another bowl.
"Mao Mao, don't just drink the soup." Lou Hongjian roasted the luncheon meat can he brought over the fire, put it in a bread roll and handed it to Mao Mao. He also gave some to Su Fei: "Eat some staple food, or you'll get hungry soon."
Mao Mao obediently said, "Thank you, Third Brother."
Meanwhile, Mr. Langdon's fish was also cooked and served to the two children first.
Compared to the others, Mr. Langdon's fish-grilling skills were really poor.
His fish was half burnt, and the remaining half, which wasn't burnt, was also somewhat broken, revealing the snow-white fish flesh.
But Sophie didn't mind at all. As soon as she took it, she exclaimed with delight, "Daddy, you're amazing!"
Mao Mao is never picky about food and is very supportive. A Wu took a big bite and ate with great relish.
Mr. Langdon was so flattered that he said to his daughter, "Sophie, Daddy will keep grilling for you. The next fish will definitely be even better."
Sophie: "Okay, daddy."
She shifted her position, leaning against her father, and said tenderly, "Daddy, don't work too hard."
Feeling his daughter's affection, Mr. Langdon was overjoyed. He glanced at Lou Dashuai and grilled the fish even more diligently.
Lou Dashuai: ?
Why is he looking at me like that?!
Is he provoking me?!
Lou Dashuai immediately picked up a fish, grilled it until the skin was golden brown and slightly charred, the heat was just right, then sprinkled on some seasonings, and it was perfectly cooked. He handed it to Mao Mao: "Mao Mao, eat this."
"Okay, thank you, Daddy." Mao Mao took a big bite as usual, eating with great relish.
Lou Dashuai: "Mao Mao, is the fish Daddy grilled delicious?"
Mao Mao nodded, "Mmm! Delicious!"
Lou Dashuai: "From now on, Dad will grill fish for you often. Dad will grill fish for you for the rest of his life. You will only eat fish grilled by Dad, okay?"
Mao Mao: "Mmm."
Mr. Langdon said with envy, "Oh, Mr. Lou, you and your daughter have such a good relationship."
Lou Dashuai gave a forced smile, "Of course, I'm Mao Mao's best dad."
As he spoke, he added another spoonful of soup to Mao Mao's small bowl: "Mao Mao, eat more, there's plenty here."
Mao Mao ate without even looking up, muttering, "Mmm!"
The three Lou brothers, holding their food, sat to the side, watching with puzzlement as their father fawned over Mao Mao.
Lou Fengju: "The last time I saw my father like this was during the Dragon Boat Festival."
Lou Hongjian: "Who exactly offended him? I certainly didn't."
Lou Yansui: "That's strange, Mr. Nie and Teacher Shen aren't here either."
