After trying twice to use her mental power to hook a big fish without success, Lin Qingmei could only fish for small fish.
After catching seven or eight stone bass in a row, Lin Qingmei had no choice but to admit defeat.
"Forget it, I won't compete anymore. These fish seem to recognize people. They won't bite my hook even though we have the same bait. I am really pissed off."
"I've always had good luck fishing. Why don't I stop fishing and let you and your sister do it." He Xufeng felt a little guilty for some reason. Would Lin Qingmei be angry and ignore him?
"I don't want to fish anymore. My sister and I will kill the fish first. You and Lin Zheng can fish!" Lin Qingmei didn't want to humiliate herself, so she just killed the fish obediently!
Lin Qinglan picked out two relatively large sea bass and killed them to make grilled fish. Shi Jiugong could use them to make soup later, and the remaining sea bass, golden fish, red silk fish, and horse-faced fish could be taken to the Fu family for cooking.
He Xufeng fished for a while and then put down the hook. Fishing was just to satisfy his urge to fish. His main purpose that day was to celebrate Lin Qingmei's birthday.
He waited for Lin Qingmei and the others to marinate the meat before starting to make a fire. They brought a large bag of charcoal with them that day, which was enough for them to grill for a long time.
He Xufeng skillfully lit a fire, and the flames shot up. Lin Qinglan skewered the marinated ribs and fish and handed them to He Xufeng, who carefully placed them on the grill and roasted them. Soon, the fish meat sizzled and the fragrance spread.
Lin Qingmei helped pass the seasonings, but her eyes kept glancing at He Xufeng's focused profile. Suddenly, He Xufeng took out a small box and handed it to Lin Qingmei, "Happy birthday."
Lin Qingmei was stunned for a moment, then took the small box with surprise. "Thank you for your gift,"
"Open it and see if you like it?"
Lin Qingmei carefully opened the box, and inside was a delicate platinum necklace in the shape of a small fish. "This necklace is so beautiful, I like it very much." Lin Qingmei's eyes were full of joy.
At this time, Lin Qinglan joked: "He Xufeng, you are so partial, where is my gift!"
"Here's a gift for you. I don't know what you like, so I just picked a hairpin for you." He Xufeng handed the gift box for Lin Qinglan to her. The gift he gave to Lin Qinglan was a hairpin bought at a shopping mall.
"Hmph, you're really perfunctory to me. You just give me a hairpin from the Cargo Building to get rid of me." Lin Qinglan was just being harsh with her words, but she was actually quite satisfied with the gift.
"Lan Zi, if you don't like it, just let me use it!" Lin Qingmei glared at Lin Qinglan and asked her to be more restrained. How could she be picky about the gifts others gave her?
"I won't give it to you. This is the only gift I received in the past year."
"Does that mean you don't want the gift I gave you?"
"Yes, why not? Give it to me quickly." Lin Qinglan opened her hands and let her good sister give her the gift.
"It's at home! You'll see it when you get home." Lin Qingmei gave Lin Qinglan a set of imperial green jadeite jewelry, which was left to Lin Qingmei by Grandma Lin as a dowry.
Lin Qingmei didn't like jade, so she gave the jade jewelry to her good sister.
After laughing and joking for a while, everyone continued to enjoy the food around the fire.
The fish grilled by He Xufeng had crispy skin and tender meat, and Lin Qingmei enjoyed it very much.
Although Lin Qinglan was still somewhat dissatisfied with He Xufeng, she could not care less when seeing the delicious food in front of her.
They were eating happily when suddenly a dark cloud floated in the sky, followed by raindrops as big as beans falling.
He Xufeng hurriedly opened the big umbrella he brought and protected the two girls under it.
