Chapter 152 Mao Mao Catches a Big Fish
Lou Dashuai gripped his fishing rod, looking dejectedly at the ripples on the lake surface stirred by the wind.
"Isn't this great?"
After being scolded by his four sons, Lou Dashuai was puzzled: "The red and green are so pretty, but it's the first time I've combed her hair, so I didn't do it well. I'll try a few more times next time, and I'll definitely make Mao Mao look beautiful."
Lou Heming, who was sitting next to him, adjusted his glasses and said, "Dad, never mind."
"Let's hope this doesn't happen again."
It's amazing that you were able to put together such a great outfit from that wardrobe of clothes.
“Yes.” Lou Fengju held the fishing rod and looked at the bobber floating on the lake: “Mao Mao loves fried fish, so you should focus on fishing. Leave the dressing up to A Hong.”
Over there, Lou Hongjian had already recombed his sister's hair.
The third young master of the Lou family is a womanizer and fashionista. He is also skillful with his hands and can do women's hair in a bun. It is easy for him to tie his younger sister's hair into two little buns.
He combed Mao Mao's hair again, zipped her coat all the way up, and covered her little face completely with a scarf and hat.
The green sweater covered it up, but the red pants couldn't hide it.
Sigh, this is really worrying.
Fortunately, Mao Mao is young. If it were him, the sky would be falling, and he would want to jump into the river to feed the fish.
thump!
A small fish leaped out of the water.
Mao Mao's eyes sparkled: "Brother, fish!"
"Okay, okay, brother will catch you some small fish to eat right away..."
As he spoke, Lou Hongjian bent down to pick up the fishing rod from the ground. As soon as he grabbed it, he felt a downward force.
He paused for a moment, then grinned.
The fish has taken the bait!
Lou Hongjian perked up and immediately lifted his fishing rod. Soon, a small fish that had taken the bait was pulled out of the water and into the bucket beside him.
"Haha!" Lou Hongjian exclaimed, beaming. "I caught one! I'm the first one!"
He said that Mao Mao's luck is also good for fishing!
Lou Hongjian hugged his sister and gave her a big kiss, saying with great enthusiasm, "Mao Mao, wait for me, your brother will catch you a big plate of crispy little fish."
Mao Mao cheered: "Little fish!"
Lou Yansui sat next to him, looking at him with disdain: "Third Brother, that was due to Mao Mao's luck, not your ability."
"Why not? Any fish that fall into my bucket are my fish."
As Lou Hongjian spoke, he picked up the fishing hook, re-baited it, and prepared to catch the next fish.
The bait was earthworms they had just dug up, still alive and wriggling in the soil.
Mao Mao tilted her little head up and looked at him with a bright and eager expression: "Brother, I'll help you."
"No need, Mao Mao, I can do it."
Although catching fish is fun, the feeling of threading the earthworm onto the hook isn't so pleasant. It's fine for adults, but there's a four-year-old little girl next to me.
How could such a young girl be shown such a cruel scene?
Lou Hongjian picked up an earthworm and casually said, "Mao Mao, don't look..."
The weather was still cold, and the cold wind howled along the river, freezing people's faces and hands. Before Lou Hongjian could finish speaking, the earthworm in his hand slipped from his grasp, wriggled away from his fingers, and fell to the ground.
Mao Mao immediately bent down to help him pick it up.
Lou Hongjian quickly stopped him: "Mao Mao, no!"
"hold head high?"
Mao Mao looked up with an adorable expression, her little hand clutching a wriggling earthworm: "Brother, what's wrong?"
Lou Hongjian: "..."
Lou Hongjian: "…………"
A few minutes later.
Mao Mao sat in her fourth brother's lap.
Lou Yansui took a handkerchief and wiped the dirt off her palms.
What's wrong with my little sister catching earthworms? Catching earthworms makes her a good little sister.
Besides, they played with insects when they were little.
Lou Yansui thought for a moment: "Third Brother, you're not afraid of bugs, are you?"
Lou Hongjian: "..."
Lou Hongjian shifted his position, turning slightly to the side while holding his fishing rod: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I be afraid of bugs? I just find earthworms slippery and a little disgusting."
The disgusting earthworm was being held in his cute little sister's hand, and he felt he needed to mentally prepare himself.
Lou Yansui looked down and asked his little sister, who was wrapped up tightly in his arms, "Maomao, are you cold?"
Mao Mao shook her head: "Mao Mao isn't cold, Mao Mao will help her brother fish."
Lou Yansui smiled and said, "Okay."
Soon, Lou Yansui's fishing rod also got a bite, and the first fish soon appeared in the bucket.
Article 2, Article 3.
With Mao Mao around, fish came one after another to bite his hook, and soon the bottom of the bucket was filled with small fish, enough to make a plateful.
The people nearby watched with immense envy.
With others taking the bait one after another while you remain empty-handed, who could bear that feeling?
Lou Dashuai glanced at his empty bucket and said longingly, "Mao Mao, come here to Daddy."
She ran over there, all excited.
Wherever she goes, luck follows.
Soon, Lou Dashuai also began to take the bait one after another.
Since his first fishing trip, he had never had such a smooth experience. With each catch, Lou Dashuai was overjoyed, and his ambition began to swell.
"What's the point of catching small fish? If you're going to fish, catch big ones!"
Mao Mao cheered: "Big one!"
"That's right, Mao Mao, make the fish even bigger!"
"A big fish!"
Lou Heming said helplessly, "Dad, are you treating Mao Mao like a wishing well?"
How can you say you're going to catch a big fish and then actually catch one?
Why not?
Lou Dashuai chuckled and placed the fishing rod in Mao Mao's hand: "Mao Mao, come help Daddy catch a big fish."
Mao Mao gripped the fishing rod with both hands, stared intently at the water with a serious expression, and nodded vigorously: "Eat the big fish!"
With Mao Mao around, you can catch big fish.
Soon, a plump fish took the bait.
That was a really big fish, and it struggled with tremendous force. Mao Mao was sitting in her father's lap and was caught off guard, almost being pulled down by the force from the other side of the fishing rod.
Fortunately, Lou Dashuai reacted quickly and managed to save both his daughter and the fishing rod.
He held Mao Mao's little hand and said, "Mao Mao, Daddy's here."
As he spoke, he began to exert himself, struggling against the fish underwater, his arm muscles tensing.
I don't know how big the fish is underwater. The force of its struggles made the fishing rod unable to bear the weight, bending into a dangerous arc, as if it would break at any moment.
The four people nearby noticed this and put down their fishing rods to join in the fun.
Lou Fengju held a fishing net and stood ready to help at any time.
Soon, the large fish surfaced. Judging from its barely visible shape, it must have weighed over ten kilograms. If cooked, it would make a huge plate.
Mao Mao had already let go of his little hand and was cheering him on with her little fist clenched: "Daddy, you can do it!"
Lou Dashuai tensed his jaw and the muscles in his arms bulged as he pulled the large fish towards him. The moment it swam to the shore, Lou Fengju reacted swiftly, reaching out with his net to scoop it up. The fish was so large that the net almost couldn't hold it.
thump!
The large fish, weighing over ten kilograms, fell to the ground and struggled violently.
The water droplets scattered everywhere, but no one avoided them; they all crowded around to look, marveling at the sight.
"Such a big fish!"
"As expected of Mao Mao, her luck is indeed very good."
"Did they catch all the king fish in this river?"
Lou Dashuai laughed heartily, his face glowing: "Haha, luck, luck!"
Lou Yansui exposed: "It's clearly Mao Mao's luck."
What's wrong with Mao Mao's luck?
Wasn't it thanks to him that this fish was caught?
He and Mao Mao fished it together!
It was almost noon, and having made quite a haul, everyone packed up and headed home.
The large fish, weighing over ten kilograms, was tied to the roof of the car, making it visible to all passersby.
The jeep drove into the center of Haicheng, honking its horn repeatedly whenever it encountered a crowd. Pedestrians instinctively moved aside, drawn by the horn's sound, and immediately spotted the large fish on the roof of the vehicle.
It's so big, it's a rare sight in the entire city of Haicheng.
"What a huge fish!"
"There are fish that big in the river?!"
"Was it caught by fishing?"
The car slowly drove past on the street, only slightly faster than the pedestrians, and along with the large fish on its roof, it received everyone's stares.
Mao Mao, perched by the car window, popped her little head out when a passerby asked a question, and enthusiastically answered, "That's right, it was caught by fishing."
"I fished with my dad!"
"It's a big fish that Mao Mao caught!"
Lou Dashuai sat seriously in the back seat of the car, listening to Mao Mao's enthusiastic greetings all the way.
He was overjoyed to hear the compliments from passersby.
Seeing a familiar face emerge from a shop in the distance, he said to his mate in the driver's seat, "Stop the car."
The car stopped in front of Nie Zhengyun.
Along with him came a little girl's enthusiastic, sweet voice: "Uncle!"
Nie Zhengyun looked over upon hearing the sound and naturally saw the large fish.
But what attracted his attention even more was the little girl sitting inside the car.
The little girl, who is as cute as an angel and is usually dressed up carefully, is in a mess today for some reason.
He was slightly surprised, but continued to greet her calmly, "Miss Mao Mao, what a coincidence, you're out having fun?"
"Uncle, I went fishing!" Mao Mao said eagerly. "Mao Mao caught a big fish!"
"oh."
Only then did Nie Zhengyun take a proper look at the fish.
Fish weighing over ten kilograms are not common, even in fish markets near the docks, let alone caught by fishing.
And it was caught by a little girl.
Is it Mao Mao fishing, or is the fish fishing for her?
Nie Zhengyun looked surprised: "You caught it?"
"I went fishing with my dad!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than another tall figure appeared by the car window.
Lou Dashuai, with his arm around his youngest daughter, smiled smugly: "Old friend Nie, what a coincidence. I just came back from fishing with my daughter and ran into you on the way."
He emphasized the word "daughter".
This is a collaboration between father and daughter; no one else is involved.
Nie Zhengyun smiled nonchalantly: "Oh, I see. Such a big fish is hard to catch even by luck. So you had the General's help."
"Haha, it's alright, it's alright." Lou Dashuai laughed heartily: "It's Mao Mao's first time fishing, so we have to let her see her father's skills."
"So this is Miss Mao Mao's first time fishing." Nie Zhengyun praised the girl again, "To catch such a big fish on your first try, Miss Mao Mao is really amazing."
Mao Mao held her little head high, looking incredibly proud.
Yes, it was Mao Mao who caught the fish!
“Miss Mao Mao likes fishing. Perfect timing! I also keep quite a few fish in my lake at home, and I sometimes fish there.” Nie Zhengyun extended an invitation: “Would you like to come to my house to fish next time?”
Mao Mao: "Great!"
Nie Zhengyun smiled and said, "Then I'll stay at home and await Miss Mao Mao's arrival."
Commander Lou: "..."
The smile on Lou Dashuai's face vanished.
He reached out and rolled up the car window, cutting off the communication between the two people, one big and one small.
"Mao Mao, it's time for us to go home for dinner."
The car window slowly rolled up, and Mao Mao, her eyes blank, waved to her uncle outside through the transparent window.
"Uncle, bye-bye."
Nie Zhengyun smiled and waved goodbye to her.
It was getting late, so the car didn't take any detours and drove straight to the Marshal's Mansion.
The four young masters of the Lou family did not want to watch their lord Lou show off his fish. They had returned ahead of time and not only took the fish they caught to the kitchen to make fried small fish, but also told him about catching a big fish.
Everyone's curiosity was piqued.
When the big fish arrived home, everyone crowded around it.
"Wow, it's so big!"
The ladies gathered around the big fish, marveling at it. Even Old Madam Lou came to watch, leaning on her cane.
The big white cat meowed and approached, but the fish, weighing over ten kilograms and larger than the cat itself, was so big that even the cat didn't know where to start eating it.
"Was it really caught by fishing?"
Mao Mao proudly puffed out her little belly and raised her little head: "Yes, Mao Mao and Daddy caught it together!"
"oops!"
Third Aunt exclaimed, "Mao Mao, who dressed you like this?! Why are you dressed like this?!"
The third concubine, who loved beauty and dressing up, forgot all about the big fish the moment she saw her: "What's wrong with your mother? Did she hit her head today? Who taught her to wear red and green together? Xia Xiaoxiang, Xia Xiaoxiang—you've been reading all those fashion magazines for nothing!"
Xia Xiaoxiang was puzzled: "I didn't dress her up, this is so ugly."
Commander Lou: "..."
Mao Mao obediently said, "Daddy put it on me."
Third concubine: "..."
The third concubine's originally raised eyebrows slowly lowered. She glanced at Commander Lou's imposing face, and her voice dropped several decibels: "Oh, so it's the Commander..."
Lou Dashuai glared at her with his tiger-like eyes.
Third Concubine dared not look directly at his expression, and guiltily took Mao Mao's little hand: "Come on, Mao Mao, I'll take you to change your clothes."
The third concubine took Mao Mao's hand, her high heels clicking as she hurried away.
But her deliberately lowered voice still came through: "Don't go to the big shot next time. He's a roughneck and doesn't understand fashion. Go to Fourth Auntie. She'll dress you up beautifully."
Mao Mao: "Oh!"
"My God, you didn't stay outside dressed like that for most of the day, did you?"
