Upon learning that Gao Qiangqi and Lao Mai were going fishing, saying that it was a rainy day and there wouldn't be many people around, so it would be a quiet time, and since the two of them happened to be free, they decided to go together.
Wu An waited for a while.
When Old Mai arrived, he immediately maxed out the luck rating for both of their fishing rods.
Today I have a total of 25 luck points.
not much.
He was too lazy to bother with anything, so he simply reciprocated.
Old Mai saw that Wu An was there and wanted to pull him along.
Wu An shook his head: "I can't go today."
"I have to go to my girlfriend's house for dinner."
Old Mai was greatly disappointed.
Without Wu An by his side, he and Gao Qiangqi probably wouldn't have had a good time fishing today.
Gao Qiangqi asked, "Where shall we go fishing? I'll have my underlings set up the fishing gear first."
Old Mai had no idea either.
Wu An casually mentioned going to the East Sluice Gate of the town.
Old Mai said, "I heard that someone recently caught several bluefin wrasses over there."
"I also want to fish one out and raise it."
Gao Qiangqi shouted, "Okay, let's go to the East Sluice Gate of the Town."
"Isn't that where we got our first kill last time?"
"You can't go wrong with Ah An. If I catch one, I'll give it to you."
Old Mike shouted, "We don't need you."
"If you can catch them, I can too."
Tsk.
Men's damn competitive spirit.
...
After leaving the market, Wu An went to the largest supermarket in town, where he bought a few gifts. Seeing a jewelry counter near the entrance, he decided to go over.
The middle-aged saleswoman greeted us warmly.
Wu An glanced at them, pointed to one of them and said, "This one is good, let me take a look."
The saleswoman unlocked the door and took it out.
Wu An took the ring out of the box, placed it on the cloth, and then, under the saleswoman's strange gaze, said to the box, "This is nice, how much?"
The saleswoman was taken aback: "You mean the box?"
She was amazed; it was the first time someone had come to her to buy a box.
She shook her head and refused.
Despite Wu An's best efforts to persuade her, the saleswoman still refused to sell.
Wu An thought for a moment, then took out an oyster pearl and said, "How about this?"
The saleswoman's eyes lit up immediately, and she subconsciously reached out to take it. Wu An dodged for a moment, looked up at the flashing red camera, and then handed over the pearl.
"This must be oyster pearls, right? It's rare to see one this beautiful." The saleswoman rubbed it over and over, looking quite fond of it. "Young man, you're lucky to have gotten this."
"Here's what I'll do, I'll give you 2,000 yuan."
Wu An shook his head: "I'm not selling this."
The saleswoman thought he was trying to bargain: "Handsome, I'll add 200 to your price, that's the most I can offer. To be honest, even the jewelry stores in the county might not be able to offer you a higher price."
“I believe that. I think you’re a very honest person.” Wu An paused for a moment and then said, “But I still can’t sell it.”
The saleswoman's smile vanished, and she placed the pearls on the soft cloth on the counter: "Young man, if you're not selling them, what's the point of taking them out?"
"Teasing your older sister?"
"Let me tell you, your sister isn't someone you can just play with."
Khan Wu'an.
These middle-aged women are really bold; they dare to say anything. He didn't dare to respond, afraid of causing unnecessary trouble. He believed what the older woman said: it's not so easy to play around with.
Thirty is like a wolf, forty is like a tiger.
Let alone this life, even in his previous life, he might not have been able to withstand it.
Not to mention now, this body is still a virgin, so it would surrender in no time.
Cough cough.
I'm thinking too far ahead.
He said earnestly, "Sister, I plan to give this pearl away as a gift, but I need a suitable box."
"To be honest, I've been quite lucky."
"If we can get oyster pearls this time, we can definitely do it next time."
"If I have any extra then, I'll definitely come to you."
The saleswoman scoffed, "So what if you say you're lucky? I could say I'm lucky..."
Wu An pulled out three abalone pearls. The saleswoman was stunned for a moment, then changed the subject and said, "Okay, handsome, I didn't expect you to actually have some talent."
"I can't sell you this box; it has your name on it."
As she spoke, the saleswoman squatted down and found an empty box: "This is for you, it's not worth much."
Wu An thanked him repeatedly, but insisted on giving him money.
The saleswoman shook her head: "Stop dawdling."
"Your sister is waiting for you."
"Come on over."
Wu An nodded, said "I'll definitely do it next time," and left with the box.
...
The Gu family's old house.
The old lady came out of the kitchen, glanced at her eldest son who had just walked under the shed, wiped the water off her hands with her apron, and said with a look of disgust, "What are you doing here?"
With a broad smile, Gu Jianfa ignored his mother's disdain and said cheerfully, "Mom, I heard we're having guests today."
"I came back specifically to entertain the guests."
The old lady muttered about who had been so talkative as to tell that bastard about it, and said she would make sure he cut that person's mouth off with scissors if he found out.
These words were said in front of Gu Jianfa.
Gu Jianfa wasn't embarrassed at all. He had heard far more vicious and offensive things than this countless times, and he was already used to it.
Say whatever you want, I'll just ignore it.
Gu Jianfa said, "My friends all invited me to go to town to have fun, but I turned them all down."
"This is a big event for our family."
"They definitely can't do without me."
The old lady was even more furious at Gu Jianfa's shameless and brazen attitude, and waved her hand, saying, "Get out of here right now."
"You don't need to entertain the guests."
"You are not allowed to come here before dark."
Gu Jianfa not only didn't leave, but leaned against the wall and said, "I'm just trying to be helpful. If there's no man in the house, people will look down on you."
"Besides, I haven't eaten breakfast and I don't have much money on me. If I wait until tonight, I'll be starving."
He took a deep breath, smelling the aroma wafting from the kitchen: "Hey, let me smell... oh, it's chicken soup with meatballs."
"Mom, this is your specialty dish."
"The last time I ate it was during the Chinese New Year."
"You made this yourself this time, didn't you?"
"You're wrong about that."
"It's just Anran's boyfriend coming over for dinner, it's no big deal. We can't make it seem like we're taking it too seriously, understand?"
The old woman scolded, "I don't understand... Even if I did understand, you still wouldn't do this!"
“I was wrong, wrong from the very beginning. If I had known you would turn out like this, I shouldn’t have given birth to you in the first place.”
"Good heavens!"
The old woman cried out to heaven and earth.
Gu Jianfa coughed twice: "We're talking about something else, don't keep dragging me into this."
"We're on the same side today."
"Anran, what's there to eat right now? Get me some to tide me over."
As he spoke, he walked into the kitchen.
The old woman shoved him away, saying, "Let me tell you, if you dare to cause trouble today, I won't let you off the hook!"
"Did you hear me?"
Gu Jianfa walked into the kitchen, saw some clam omelets, picked one up and ate it, saying indistinctly, "I heard it, I heard it."
Don't worry.
"I know what I'm doing and I won't do anything reckless."
Upon hearing this, the old lady and Gu Anran became even more worried.
