Chapter 292: A Trip to the Suburbs - The Sickly Young Girl's Daily Life of Eating Watermelons in the Courtyard
While Father Lin was immersed in Lin Qing's praise, Grandpa Li and Grandpa Sui quietly walked back to the backyard.
"Uncle Lin is so lucky! Why isn't my daughter as cute as other girls?" Mr. Li couldn't help but sigh when he thought of his daughter who was carefree and like a man.
"At least you have a concubine, okay? I don't even have one." Mr. Sui rolled his eyes at him.
"Old Li, you're back!" Aunt Li greeted Grandpa Li when she saw him.
"I'm back, I'm back."
"How was the harvest?" Aunt Li stepped forward.
"Here, it's here." Master Li handed the bucket over.
"Not bad, at least we got something. How about we drink fish soup tonight?" Drinking fish soup is the most cost-effective. If it is braised, the fish will be gone after two chopsticks per person. If we drink fish soup, everyone can make up for it.
"Okay, it's up to you!"
Grandpa Sui was in a similar situation. When Grandma Sui heard that someone had returned, she hurried out to check the goods she had received. She also decided to use them to make soup tonight.
"Dad! Are you back from fishing? Where's the fish?" Li Xiaomei patted her father's arm carelessly.
Mr. Li looked at Li Xiaomei and thought about Lin Qing in front of Lin's father just now. Alas, there is really no comparison. I don't know! This comparison is really too tragic.
"Dad, what are you doing? Why are you sighing at me?" Li Xiaomei looked at her dad and didn't know what was going on.
"Nothing, nothing, the fish is in your mother's hands."
Li Xiaomei didn't care about her father who was inexplicably crazy and quickly ran to her mother's place.
"Mom, where's the fish?"
"Here, here it is!"
Li Xiaomei squatted down, lowered her head, and looked at the two small fish in the bucket. "Why are these fish so small? How can I eat them?"
Mr. Li put down the fishing rod in his hand, walked over and heard his daughter's words of disdain. He got angry again and again, and finally patted his daughter on the head, "What's wrong with the little one? You can still make soup!"
"Dad! Why did you hit me?" Li Xiaomei felt a little aggrieved.
"If you want to fight, then fight."
"Hmph!" Li Xiaomei always felt that her father was crazy, so she snorted coldly and left.
Aunt Li also noticed that her husband was a little strange, "What's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly attack your daughter?"
"What's wrong with me? What can I do? Don't you see the tone of your daughter just now? How can she dislike her father like that?"
Aunt Li burst out laughing. "Just because of this?"
"Hehe! When other girls see me catch a fish as big as mine, they feel very happy and even speak words of praise and admiration. Unlike you, you have nothing and can only complain. If you have the ability, go fish by yourself!"
"Hahahaha!" Aunt Li could see that her husband was just jealous and a little sour.
"Whose daughter is she?"
"Who else could it be? Those two are the only ones fishing with me today."
"Oh!" Aunt Li understood. It turned out to be Uncle Lin.
"You didn't see the lady coming out to greet you with joy just now, praising you non-stop. It was so comforting to hear."
"Haha! You know your daughter, she's so carefree, how could she think of these things?"
"Yeah! How could she possibly think of those things? All I heard was disgust." Master Li never said that he was extremely jealous.
"Hahaha! I'll tell her next time, when you come back from fishing, I'll let her praise you."
"Hehe! Can't she think of it herself?" Master Li said arrogantly.
"Okay, okay, okay, she can get it, she can get it, she will definitely be able to get it next time."
…
The next day, when Aunt Li was driving Aunt Sui and Mother Lin to the suburbs, she brought up the topic.
"Hahaha! Aunt Lin, you don't know my old Li. He kept talking about this all night long last night."
"Haha! My husband Sui is about the same. It's been half a night, if not a whole night. Although he's not as resentful as your husband Li, he's also complaining to me, saying that he regrets not having another daughter."
"My old man Li does have a daughter, but she is not as good at complimenting as Lin Qing. She never thinks of these things. Yesterday, she even complained that the fish her father caught was too small!"
"Hahaha!" The three of them laughed all the way to the suburbs.
It was the first time for Lin's mother to come here. "It feels like there are not many people here!"
"This place is quite far from the city. If you don't have a bicycle and take the bus instead, it would be a waste if the gains you get are not enough to cover the bus fare. So not many people from the city would come here. As for the countryside, it's also quite far from here, separated by several mountains!" Aunt Li explained.
"If that's the case, then there won't be many people coming here. I guess we can gain a lot! Isn't that a good deal for us?" Mother Lin thought.
"Haha! That's right. If your family didn't have a bicycle, I don't think we would ever think of taking a trip to the suburbs." What Aunt Li said was indeed true.
If there were no bicycles, Aunt Li would never have suggested going to the suburbs.
After all, you may not be sure whether you will gain anything by coming to the suburbs. You have to look for it to know. If the gain is really not much, they will feel at a loss.
"So where are we going now?" asked Lin's mother.
"Let's go this way!" Aunt Li suggested going up the mountain.
There might be some gains in the mountains.
"Okay!" Mother Lin and Aunt Sui had no objection.
The three of them walked up the mountain together.
"This forest is quite dense!" Aunt Sui said as she looked at it.
"Well! I wonder if there are any wild rabbits here?" said Lin's mother.
"Maybe there is! Let's take a closer look later?" Aunt Li found a stick and planned to check if there were any rabbit holes or something like that on the ground.
"Rabbits like to dig holes, but do we know what rabbit holes are?" Aunt Li thought about it and then said to herself.
"..." The three of them were silent for a while.
Well, they really don’t understand!
"Let's walk and look! We have to see the rabbit first before we can be sure whether it is a rabbit hole or not!"
“……”That makes sense.
Next, each of the three of them opened their eyes wide and looked around.
After walking a long distance, Aunt Sui suddenly saw a pile of grass in the distance seemed to move.
"Hey, hey, hey, there seems to be some movement over there."
Mother Lin and Aunt Li immediately looked over there. Their eyes lit up, and after looking at each other, they divided into three directions and surrounded that place.
"Pheasant——" Aunt Li said in a whisper.
The three men moved very gently as they surrounded the pheasant, fearing that it would be scared away.
