"You really want to go?"
Gu An'an nodded quickly, "We'll get some to make preserved fish, and if there's a lot, we can give you some to take with you."
Fish these days are different from those fed with feed in later generations. They don't have that fishy smell at all, and they taste good no matter how you cook them. You can raise a couple to eat fresh, and freeze the rest or make preserved fish, which are all quite good.
“An’an can go if she wants to.”
There aren't many entertainment options in the dead of winter, so feel free to go out and have fun if you want. Even though it's cold outside, wearing more layers won't kill you.
"Make sure to wipe your face properly before going out. A young lady's face is very important, so don't let it get frostbite."
As she spoke, Xiao's mother went back into the house and brought back a bunch of things. "These are things your aunt brought. They're all good stuff from the Friendship Store. You can put them on your face later."
If Gu An'an's delicate face were to get frostbite, she would feel more distressed than the person involved.
Honestly, seeing Xiao Ma putting all sorts of good things in front of her, Gu An'an felt a warm glow in her heart, and her eyes felt like they had sand in them.
"good."
While Gu An'an was arming herself, Xiao Yuheng was making an ice sled.
"Come over here and get dressed quickly."
Hearing his wife's voice, Xiao Yuheng put the ice skating sled aside and strode into the house.
"You look good in this."
"Wear this coat again."
"Again......"
Xiao Yuheng was like a well-behaved child, standing still and letting Gu An'an dress him up. I think he would be happy even if Gu An'an dressed him up like a doll.
When Xiao Yuheng obediently put on all the clothes, Gu An'an's eyes lit up.
Sure enough, people with good looks and figures look good in anything.
"What? Am I handsome enough to impress you?"
As he was saying this, Xiao Yuheng even vainly glanced at himself in the mirror. Gu An'an found his appearance rather irritating, but she had to admit that he was incredibly good-looking.
Stop admiring yourself, let's get going.
Not hearing what he wanted to hear, Xiao Yuheng simply pulled the person back, embraced him, and kissed him.
A few minutes later, Gu An'an felt that she was having some difficulty breathing. She pushed the person away and touched her lips with her hand while picking up a mirror to examine herself carefully.
"Look at you, you're all red now, how are you going to go out?"
A single glare posed no threat whatsoever; instead, it stirred Xiao Yuheng's restlessness once more.
"Cough cough, it's okay, just cover your face with a scarf later."
After applying and applying cosmetics for a long time, Gu An'an finally felt ready to go out.
By this time, Mr. and Mrs. Xiao had already made preparations. As for Mr. and Mrs. Xiao, since they rarely came here, they couldn't stand the cold of Northeast China, so they could only stay at home and wait for them.
"Grandpa and Grandma, wait for me to bring you some fish to eat."
Grandma Xiao quickly nodded, "Okay, it doesn't matter if there are fish or not, just have fun and be careful."
The riverbank wasn't far from the commune; it was about a 20-minute walk from the Xiao family. When they arrived, there were already quite a few people on the river.
Xiao Yuheng found a good spot to break the ice, and then let the three of them go ice skating first.
With the ice skating sled he made, Gu An'an and Xiao's mother had a great time playing on it.
"Mom, let's get a dog. When it grows up, we can use it to pull our cart."
Dog: ...I don't know if I'm a dog or not, but you really are a dog.
"Okay, let Ah Heng get you a retired military dog, and we'll take good care of it."
For Xiao's mother, her daughter-in-law is the most important person in the world. As long as the other party wants it and they can do it, there is absolutely no problem.
Besides, An'an has encountered so many unpleasant things before, having a dog could help shield her from some of the troubles.
Thinking about this, she suddenly realized that she hadn't thought about it enough and hadn't done enough; otherwise, she should have arranged this matter long ago.
The two of them were pushing each other around, having a great time.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yuheng and his father had made intermittent progress, breaking through the ice.
"let me."
Seeing his son stop working, Xiao's father quickly took the tools and continued working, showing no sign of admitting he was getting old.
With the father and son working together, they quickly carved out a hole about 30 to 40 centimeters in diameter.
"An'an, come fishing."
They brought a lot of tools, including fishing hooks and nets, but there were quite a few people on the river with the same equipment. As long as it wasn't too outrageous and they weren't selling the catch, no one was willing to come here to arrest people in the freezing cold.
Hearing Xiao Yuheng's shout, Gu An'an scootered towards him. Xiao Yuheng and Xiao's father were afraid she would rush into the ice cave, so they reached out to protect her. But Gu An'an performed a dragon tail swing in front of them and drifted to a steady stop in front of them.
"Is he handsome?"
"handsome!"
"So cool! An'an, if you were a boy, Aheng wouldn't stand a chance."
The Xiao family was very supportive, praising Gu An'an so much that she was practically strutting around with pride.
Gu An'an felt a little embarrassed by Xiao Ma's straightforward praise, so she quickly changed the subject, saying, "Let's go fishing, Grandpa and Grandma are still waiting at home."
Gu An'an and Xiao's mother each took a fishing rod and started fishing, while the two men from the Xiao family waited on the side.
Less than two minutes later, Gu An'an felt the fishing line being pulled down by a strong force. She quickly pulled up with all her might, and a three- or four-pound bighead carp was pulled out of the water.
"An'an, you're amazing!"
Just as Xiao Ma was about to get up to help Gu An'an, she saw that her son had already taken the lead, so she could only sit back down on the stool. But in just a short while, someone else took the bait. Luckily, she reacted quickly enough, otherwise the fishing rod would have been dragged away.
"Fish, quick! Help me pull it out."
Xiao's father quickly went over and took Xiao's mother's fishing rod. Before long, a second fish came, which was no smaller than Gu An'an's.
"Oh my! I'm so lucky to have caught such a big fish. If it weren't for An'an, I wouldn't have been able to catch such a big fish."
Whether it was some kind of mystical phenomenon or not, they caught a lot of fish, so much so that Xiao Yuheng and his father gave up on digging another hole. Luckily, they chose a remote location, otherwise they would have attracted a lot of envy.
"Should we go back?"
Looking at the fish in the net, Xiao's mother felt satisfied; this was the first time in her life she had ever had such a crazy experience.
"That's it for the day, time to go home."
At Gu An'an's command, everyone sprang into action, and soon they had packed their things and started heading home.
While they were in high spirits, Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao were already eagerly waiting.
"Why isn't he back yet? It's so cold, I hope my An'an doesn't get too cold."
"Alright, old woman, stop going out and looking around. Be careful not to catch a cold."
"What does it matter if my old bones catch a cold? As long as An'an is alright, that's all that matters. The third brother is unreliable too. He should have just played around for a while. He hasn't come back for so long. I really want to beat him up to vent my anger."
Mr. Xiao, who had just returned home, was shocked by what he did: ...What did I do?
