Ye Zhiqiu rolled his eyes at the two of them and continued brushing his teeth. Having infiltrated gossip groups in the village before, he knew full well that the two old ladies were no longer able to suppress their desire to be matchmakers!
Not to mention that I am her son, even if he is a stranger, as long as he has this idea, it will be difficult for me to control myself!
This matchmaking attribute is rooted in women like genes! No matter if they are twenty, thirty, fifty or sixty years old!
Whenever there's a matchmaking opportunity, they'll get excited and jump into action! Don't believe it? Just talk to any middle-aged woman. If they bring up a suitable man or woman with good conditions, they'll instantly match them up with someone's child based on the big data in their heads...
After washing up, Ye Zhiqiu didn't see the little black dog, nor did he see the second brother and the little sister. He asked Wang Xiaolan, "Where are the second brother and the little sister? Why can't I see them?"
Wang Xiaolan laughed and scolded, "Old Second, you bastard! He boasted that he was going fishing and would grill up whatever he caught! Your greedy little sister, how could she listen to such talk? She insisted on following us to the river. I want to see what they grill up!"
Liu Cuihua said happily, "Bai Lu is still young. When my daughter was her age, she was also very greedy! Every day when she saw others eating, she wanted to try it too. That was really annoying."
It turned out that she had gone fishing. Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile: "Mom, little girl, you went fishing just for food. I think my little sister will come back crying. You will have a headache!"
Wang Xiaolan sighed, "What can I do? I don't know why this girl is so greedy, and we haven't treated her badly! I'm really worried that when she grows up, someone will trick her away with food..."
Ye Zhiqiu shrugged. This cheap old lady’s thoughts were so jumpy that she jumped to more than ten years later!
I helped water the flowerpots. Some seeds have sprouted, but I can't tell what they are yet.
The weather is so hot right now. With enough temperature and water, the seeds of these vegetables will germinate quickly. By the end of September, we will probably be able to eat the vegetables we planted ourselves. These things grow very quickly.
After watering the plants, they went to cook, while Ye Zhiqiu went to wash his bicycle. He personally didn't care for bicycles, but there was a rule in the work code that buyers should take good care of their vehicles and wash them regularly to keep them clean.
So no matter what Ye Zhiqiu thinks, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that he needs to maintain the vehicle, which is part of his normal job.
After cleaning the car, Ye Wubing came back carrying a fishing rod and a bucket of water, and coaxed the crying Ye Bailu.
Ye Zhiqiu asked curiously, "Second brother, why did you make me cry again? Be good, don't cry. If you have any grievances, tell me, big brother!"
Ye Bailu rushed over and wiped her tears and snot on the hem of Ye Zhiqiu's clothes! This natural and easy action made Ye Zhiqiu laugh and cry. What did this girl think of her clothes?
Ye Wubing said gloomily, "Brother, I didn't bully my little sister. I brought your fishing rod today and went fishing with Erwa! He ended up catching a big catfish, but I didn't catch anything. My little sister started crying because I didn't get any fish to grill..."
Ye Bailu sobbed and accused, "Second brother is bad. He said he would definitely catch fish, so I followed him to bask in the sun for a long time! But he didn't catch a single fish. He lied to children... Second brother is such a bad guy..."
Ye Wubing scratched his head. How could he possibly not catch any fish with his big brother's professional equipment? Who knew he wouldn't be able to catch any fish? What the hell! Erwa's broken hook was so big, and this stupid catfish actually went and swallowed it. Are these stupid fish crazy?
Ye Zhiqiu comforted him, "Okay, stop crying. Who told you to run out with me? You chose the sunbathing spot yourself, and you should finish it even if you have to kneel down! Second brother, isn't Erwa going to school? Why would I ask you to go fishing with me?"
Although Ye Bailu still looked aggrieved, she listened to Ye Zhiqiu's words and immediately wiped away her tears and took Xiao Hei back to the living room to get some water.
Ye Wubing only then replied, "Ah? Erwa said his father died of illness last year, leaving him with only his younger brother and his mother. His mother had to go to work, so he couldn't go to school. Every day he had to take his younger brother to the river to fish and catch shrimp to sell for money to help support the family!"
Just as he finished speaking, Erwa came in carrying a bucket. When he saw Ye Zhiqiu, he said happily, "Brother Ye, I caught two catfish today. Can you buy them for me?"
Ye Zhiqiu waved, and when he came closer, he ruffled his short hair of varying lengths, probably cut by his mother with a pair of scissors.
He smiled and said, "Why not? Oh, both are still alive. I'll give them to you at 40 cents a pound! Second brother, go get the scale!"
Ye Wubing agreed, put away the fishing rod and bucket, and went to the utility room to get the scale.
Ye Zhiqiu first took an empty bucket and weighed it, which was seven pounds. After putting the two catfish in, it weighed more than ten pounds and nine ounces, so it was calculated as eleven pounds.
After weighing the fish, Ye Zhiqiu asked Erwa, "Erwa, I'll calculate it as eleven catties. Minus the seven-catty bucket, that's four catties. I should pay you one yuan and sixty cents in total. Do you have any objections?"
Erwa said happily: "Brother Ye, I have no objection, thank you!"
"Big brother, it's you who should thank you for selling me the fish. Second brother, you should put the fish in the watering tank and keep it there."
Ye Wubing nodded and took the bucket to release the fish. This tank was filled with water for washing vegetables. It was reserved for watering the vegetables in the flowerpots and also for flushing the toilet.
I gave Erwa one dollar and sixty cents. After thanking him with the money, he happily left with the bucket.
