Chapter 189: My wife is angry?
Zhou Nanxu skillfully placed the iron hook into the hole. Compared with Rong Mei's clumsy posture just now, it was obvious that he was an experienced veteran.
This aroused Rong Mei's curiosity and competitive spirit. She pulled Zhou Dabao over and looked at the cave entrance intently. She wanted to see how long it would take Zhou Nanxu to fish a fish since she had spent so much time and effort but failed to catch a single fish.
Unfortunately, the ending disappointed her.
Only two minutes had passed.
Suddenly, Rong Mei saw the long line tied with the iron hook sink suddenly.
Her heart instantly rose to her throat and she dared not even breathe. She was even more nervous than the fisherman Zhou Nanxu. Just like Zhou Dabao just now, she was afraid that any movement would scare away the hooked fish.
Zhou Nanxu was seen methodically pulling the long line upwards little by little.
Immediately afterwards, a fat crucian carp broke out of the water, shining silver in the sun, and its tail kept twisting and flapping the air.
Finally seeing the fish, Zhou Dabao was the most excited. He jumped and clapped his hands, shouting, "Aunt, uncle caught a fish. We can bring it back and let grandma stew it into a fresh and delicious fish soup. Uncle is so awesome."
Finally caught a fish. Although this was not the first fish she caught, Rong Mei was very happy.
But the man didn't seem satisfied with just this one fish. After taking the fish off the iron hook, he threw it onto the ice and then threw the iron hook back in.
Just like before, even shorter than last time, another fat fish was caught.
Seeing Zhou Nanxu calmly taking the fish off the hook again, Zhou Dabao kept circling around the fish. Rong Mei's initial excitement turned into unwillingness to accept it.
With a forced smile, he responded to Zhou Dabao's praise and admiration for someone again.
I suspect that it was because of the strong wind, I suspect that it was because of my bad luck, or I suspect that Zhou Nanxu was lucky to have encountered a school of fish…
In a nutshell, I never doubted that it was a problem with my skills.
After the man took the fish off the hook again, Rong Mei walked away without saying a word.
She, who had always been strong-willed, walked to the ice pick thrown on the ice, picked it up, and imitated the man's actions.
After looking around, she chose a place that she thought would bring her good luck.
Smash it!!! Smash it hard!!!
She really didn't believe it. She couldn't catch a single fish today!
Zhou Nanxu, who was busy catching fish, finally noticed the movement here.
Looking at my wife's gnashing teeth, I was confused and puzzled for a moment.
What's wrong with you, wife?
This question continued until half an hour later.
Zhou Nanxu held five, six, seven or eight fish in his hands, and the smallest one was the first crucian carp he caught, weighing more than one kilogram.
As for the remaining six or seven or eight, each one was bigger and more delicious than the other.
Of course, all of these were the work of Zhou Nanxu alone, and none of them were caught by Rong Mei...
Even when he got home, Zhou Nanxu still didn't understand.
Wasn't everything fine just now? Why did my wife suddenly look angry?
Are you angry?
Um……
The answer was not known until the evening, when someone "happily got" a bed on the floor, and then he finally realized that his wife was angry.
As for why the wife was angry, the answer is not important at all.
The important thing is, as long as the wife is angry, then he must be wrong...
*******
February 8, 1986 was the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, which was also New Year’s Eve.
This is Rong Mei's first year here.
The whole family got up early.
Liu Rong was picking and cutting vegetables in the kitchen, preparing for tonight's New Year's Eve dinner. Rong Mei also wore an apron for a rare occasion and helped Liu Rong. Zhou Nanxu cleaned the house and yard inside and out, and Zhou Zhengfu was responsible for slaughtering chickens, ducks, and fish.
There was a large pot of hot water boiling in the pot. Liu Rong scooped several scoops of water into the basin with a ladle, and soaked the dried kelp, black fungus, and mushrooms in it, ready to stew later.
While busy with work, he glanced at the clock hanging on the wall of the outer room, "Mei girl, when will your parents be here?"
The Rongsheng couple had already set out from Heihe the day before yesterday. Liu Rong didn't know how long it would take to drive from Heihe to Harbin, but she only knew that they would arrive today and be able to make it in time for the New Year's Eve dinner tonight.
Rong Mei and Zhou Dabao were peeling garlic together. "It should be at least noon now. If we are slower, it will be afternoon."
Liu Rong knew what was going on, and called out to Zhou Nanxu outside the door, "Nanxu, go to your uncle's house and tell him we won't be going there for lunch."
Zhou's father has three brothers, but because the elderly in the family have long passed away, they have all separated. So they don't celebrate the New Year like Jiang Wenying's family does, where the brothers get together. Instead, each family celebrates on their own.
However, early this morning, someone came from Uncle Zhou's house and asked the family to come over for lunch.
If it was in the past two years, Liu Rong would not have thought it was a big deal. When Zhou's father was alive, the relationship between the brothers was not very good, but it was not bad either. At least on the surface, it was very harmonious.
The elderly in my family are no longer around. In the past, although we would stay up at home on New Year’s Eve, we would always invite people to have a meal together before the New Year.
Uncle Zhou's family had not called since his father passed away, but suddenly they called again this year. Liu Rong had some idea of the reason.
So when Aunt Zhou came to invite her, Liu Rong did not refuse, but did not agree either. She just said that she would give an answer later. It was not known when the in-laws would arrive.
I didn't really want to go in the first place, and now I had even more reason to refuse.
Zhou Nanxu responded with a "OK", put down the broom in his hand and prepared to go out to Uncle Zhou's house.
But just as he opened the gate to the yard, he was confronted by a face that made him open his eyes wide in astonishment...
