That evening.
There were two new dishes on the Huo family's dining table that had never appeared before.
One is braised fish.
Fish are still common. After all, there is a small river next to the village, and many people use bamboo baskets to catch fish.
But today the fish was big and fat.
It is a full fifty centimeters long.
Even the biggest dinner plate in the house wouldn't be able to hold this fish.
So the big fish was cut into two pieces with one knife.
They were placed on two plates before being put down.
One is a plate of river shrimp.
The river shrimps were very big, even thicker than Chi Wan's fingers.
A plate full of braised prawns.
Each one is covered with oil and seems to be glowing.
A dish of braised fish and a dish of braised prawns exude an aroma that makes you salivate.
Chi Wan had been eating wild vegetables for a long time.
Now when he sees something meaty, his eyes light up instantly and he swallows his saliva.
But where do such big fish and such big shrimp come from?
Huo Chuchun seemed to understand Chi Wan's surprised look, and she took the initiative to answer without waiting for Chi Wan to ask.
"Sister-in-law, this fish and these shrimps were all caught by my eldest brother."
"That's not all! Look in the water tank over there, there are fish and shrimps too."
“We can continue eating tomorrow!”
Huo Chuchun was equally excited, not to mention how happy she was.
This confused Chi Wan.
She turned to look at Huo Nanchuan and asked blankly, "Didn't you slip and fall into the river?"
A person who accidentally fell.
How could they catch such a big fish and bring back so many shrimps?
Zheng Yue'e, who was watching from the side, immediately responded by asking if he had found a companion.
"Xiao Wan, don't you think so? This kid told me that he fell down accidentally, but when he put down the bamboo basket, it was full of fish and shrimps. How can I believe what he said?"
There was a hint of anger in Carrie Lam's voice when she spoke.
She glared at Huo Nanchuan a few times.
Chi Wan looked at Huo Nanchuan with more and more amusement.
This man's logic is really self-deceiving.
Huo Nanchuan was teased by them.
He felt a slight heat behind his ears and tried to look calm.
"I just slipped accidentally, but my clothes are all wet, so I might as well catch some fish and shrimp."
Listen to this.
How serious he was.
But at the dinner table, the three women who heard Huo Nanchuan's remarks all burst into laughter.
Chi Wan, in particular, laughed particularly loudly.
For the first time, she discovered that this dull and down-to-earth man actually had such a lovely side.
"It's really thanks to your slippery feet that we can have such a rich meal."
Chi Wan said teasingly.
She picked up a big shrimp and put it in Huo Nanchuan's bowl first.
Reward him for his contribution.
In this way.
Several people at the table started to pick up their chopsticks.
Everyone eats either fish or shrimp.
There were happy smiles on their faces.
"Brother, eat quickly."
Huo Chuchun noticed Huo Dongzhi who was standing aside motionless and in a daze.
She pushed Huo Dongzhi's arm and urged him hurriedly.
Like Chi Wan, 껩 put a big shrimp into Huo Dongzhi's bowl.
Huo Dongzhi seemed to come back to his senses suddenly at this moment.
He glanced at Huo Chuchun and quickly turned back.
꿛 took the chopsticks and rice bowl and started eating with big mouthfuls.
Their noises made Chi Wan turn her inquiring eyes.
Chi Wan noticed that when they were making fun of Huo Nanchuan just now, Huo Dongzhi hadn't said a word.
This stubborn boy seemed to be distracted.
He seemed to be eating with big mouthfuls, but he never took the initiative to pick up food.
This... is a bit strange.
Chi Wan thought.
A pair of chopsticks reached out from the side and picked up a large shrimp and put it into her bowl.
But it was not braised prawns in oil, but pink and white shrimp meat with the shell broken.
Complete and whole.
Clean and tidy.
Just put it in her bowl.
Chi Wan glanced at Huo Nanchuan.
It was this man who gave him the prawns she had passed to him, peeled them, and gave them back to her.
This very second.
No words are needed, but it is sweet enough.
Chi Wan took a big bite.
The shrimp meat tastes sweet when you bite it.
Really – it’s sweet.
The shrimp meat is very fresh and sweet.
Chi Wan had eaten a lot of seafood in her previous life, but even the expensive foreign imported shrimps didn't taste like this.
What's more, these are river shrimps.
After Huo Chuchun noticed it, he asked, "Sister-in-law, is it delicious?"
"Delicious! I've never eaten shrimps so delicious."
"The prawns here all taste like this. My eldest brother caught them a few times before. But my mother won't let us go there because it's too dangerous."
After all, many people have died in that river.
After Chi Wan heard it.
What she was thinking about was not the death, but how these shrimps could be bred and multiplied.
With such a good taste, there is no doubt that it will sell well.
Huo Nanchuan, who was standing by, seemed to understand Chi Wan's heart.
He whispered, "Don't think about other things when you're eating. Just eat more."
Talking.
He picked up another piece of fatty fish and put it in Chi Wan's bowl.
Chi Wan nodded repeatedly.
The smile never disappeared from that delicate face.
Her bright eyes kept sparkling.
And at this time.
There was also a young man's eyes, stealing glances at the young couple.
Huo Dongzhi lowered his head, seemingly thinking deeply.
He picked up a large shrimp, peeled off the shell cleanly, and then -
Put it in Huo Chuchun's bowl.
"Xiaochun, you should eat more."
"Second brother, you are so good to me!"
Huo Chuchun smiled faintly, and was extremely happy.
She learned to peel shrimps.
Then put the broken shrimp meat in——
In Zhang Yue'e's bowl.
"Mom, eat more."
Zhang Yue'e looked at Huo Chuchun with satisfaction, smiling from ear to ear, she was so happy.
He was still muttering to himself.
"They say daughters are caring and thoughtful, and it's true. Xiaochun is my little cotton-padded jacket."
At the dinner table.
Full of laughter and joy.
Only when Shao 뎃 lowered his head, a flash of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
Chi Wan looked at Huo Dongzhi a few more times.
I paid special attention to Shao's silence today.
It seems...something is not right.
But because Huo Dongzhi kept his head down, Chi Wan couldn't see his expression.
I just kept this matter vaguely in my mind.
