I had no dreams that night.
An Wan was awakened by the noise outside when it was already dawn. She then remembered that today was the day Yun Ping and Lu Sen were to return to Lu Family Village.
Get out of bed quickly, brush your teeth, wash your face, and change into your prettiest dress.
Just as she was about to tie her hair up, Lu Jingming walked in and helped her tie two small braids.
Yunping used to braid her hair, but these past few days Lu Jingxing and his brothers have been taking turns doing it for her.
Although her braids were tied crookedly, An Wan did not refuse.
This is their way of expressing their affection for themselves.
"Thank you, Third Brother. Your braids are so pretty, I love them."
"Hmm." Lu Jingming looked at the braids on her head. He had thought that his braids were ugly and that she would be angry and cry.
But to my surprise, she said she liked it.
Seeing Lu Jingming's flushed cheeks, An Wan stopped teasing him.
Boys these days are so thin-skinned.
But it's also very cute.
The Lu brothers got up early this morning and went to the fields and vegetable gardens to finish their farm work.
Then go home and finish the housework, so that there is water to drink and firewood at home.
Even though we are poor and live in an old brick house, it must be clean and hygienic for us to feel comfortable.
Niu Ahong also arrived early to help kill chickens and ducks, and also processed two wild rabbits, preparing to cook a big meal.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be enough to eat.
After all, the three families were having lunch together.
We need to prepare enough food so that everyone can have a good time eating.
Everyone's face was beaming with smiles.
Anwan continued singing throughout the night.
Fearing there wouldn't be enough meat, she deliberately dragged Grandpa He to the river to fish, since she had nothing else to do anyway.
The chores around the house were all taken care of by Lu Jingxing and his brothers.
In their words, children are meant to play.
My little sister is meant to be pampered.
The weather today is fairly cool, the sky is a bit overcast, and the sun isn't too strong, making it perfect for fishing.
Lu Jiayan and Lu Zhili also went fishing together, and Lu Yanshu came along this time as well.
Of course, there's also He Sichen and He Yurou.
Everyone was holding a fishing rod and fishing in a small river with a gentle current, not the small river that An Wan and Lu Zhili had gone to more than ten times last time.
Anwan has nearly killed all the fish and shrimp in that little river.
I haven't gone there to cause trouble for the past two weeks.
"Wanwan, did you really catch a lot of fish?" He Yurou wasn't entirely convinced; without seeing it with her own eyes, she couldn't be completely convinced.
Before An Wan could answer, Lu Zhili retorted, "My little sister is amazing; she always catches big fish when she goes fishing."
In his eyes, his younger sister was amazing.
"Sister Yurou, if you don't believe me, how about we make a bet? If I catch more fish than you, you have to do me a favor."
An Wan had a wicked plan.
He Yurou fell for it immediately, even though she knew An Wan was up to no good. "Sure! Let's have a contest."
So the two of them sat down to fish, about five meters apart.
The others, sitting not far away, were all wondering whether An Wan had caught more fish or He Yurou would win.
He Sichen didn't know who would win, because he hadn't spent much time with An Wan. Although he had heard from Grandpa He that she was good at fishing, seeing is believing.
Grandpa He stroked his long white beard and chuckled, "That girl Yu Rou is probably going to cry later."
He Sichen disagreed, because He Yurou's fishing skills were also quite good.
Lu Jiayan was closest to An Wan. He was sitting in a new wheelchair, which he had asked He Sichen to buy yesterday.
It cost 900 yuan, and it's very comfortable to sit in.
Different prices mean different quality and functions.
You get what you pay for.
Expensive things must be better.
Lu Jiayan held the fishing rod without moving his hand at all.
He was very patient; this was his first time fishing outside.
He used to enjoy fishing here, but unfortunately he never had the chance.
Lu Yanshu knew that An Wan was very good at fishing, so he bet on her to win.
But I also want to catch a few big fish so I can show them off to my family when I get back.
An Wan held a fishing rod in one hand and ate a biscuit in the other.
This caused the fishing rod to sway constantly.
He Yurou chuckled to herself when she saw it.
"If you move again, the fish will be scared away, and you'll have no chance of winning the game."
"Hmph~!" An Wan raised her chin arrogantly at He Yurou.
The next second, the fishing rod started moving violently.
"Sister Yurou, the fish has taken the bait." With a few quick pulls of the fishing rod, Anwan hauled the big fish out of the water.
In the blink of an eye, An Wan caught a big fish, leaving He Yurou stunned.
That big fish must have weighed at least seven or eight pounds, and it was jumping around on the surface of the water.
An Wan actually caught a fish? And a big one at that.
Was he the first to catch a fish?
This luck is unbelievable.
Grandpa always said that Anwan was very lucky; she could find small animals to bring home wherever she went.
She won't starve no matter where she goes.
"Hahaha! Big fish, big fish—" Lu Zhili ran over to help An Wan pull the big fish up.
Grandpa He stroked his beard and laughed heartily.
He Sichen was very curious and went over to see what was going on.
"Wanwan, you're great." Lu Jiayan gave her a thumbs up.
Although it wasn't the first time I'd seen her catch a big fish, this was the first time I'd witnessed it in person, and it was truly awe-inspiring.
Her luck is truly incredible.
Anwan put another small earthworm on the fishing rod and cast it far out onto the river.
Less than three minutes later, another big fish took the bait.
Lu Zhili sat next to An Wan and specially pulled the big fish up for her.
