"Mu Mu, give me your notebook. You and Xiao Song can go back to eat first. You can come to the office directly tomorrow morning."
The captain looked at Yang Mumu and gave him a few instructions. Then he took the notebook Yang Mumu handed over, looked at the others, pointed at a basket of fish that had been set aside, and said loudly:
"Everyone should go back if they need to. Those who are here to help can line up here and take one. We will take care of the rest. When I went to get the scale, I called the director of the supply and marketing cooperative and asked them to send a truck to pick it up. It will be here soon. Just leave a few people here."
"Okay, thank you, Captain."
Each of them took a fish and went home happily.
As soon as the main force left, the captain and Uncle Qingshan took out the things agreed upon in the bet and handed them to Yang Mumu.
Yang Mumu held the sorghum wine handed to her by the captain, and Song Yan helped her carry the peanuts handed to her by Uncle Qingshan. After saying hello to the captain, the two of them happily went back.
When he turned around, he heard the captain holding the big cutlassfish he caught and exaggerating to Uncle Qianjin about the fish he had caught, omitting a series of processes.
"Come on, come and see the fish I caught. Isn't it big? It's the biggest one I've ever caught. I just casually threw the fishing rod into the sea and caught it. It was so easy. Come and see..."
Yang Mumu and Song Yan, who knew the whole process, looked at each other, covered their mouths and laughed, but did not try to expose the truth. They hurriedly ran forward to avoid laughing out loud.
The two of them didn't dare laugh out loud until they ran far away.
Song Yan held his stomach and laughed non-stop.
"The captain is really funny. He took advantage of Uncle Qianjin not knowing and kept talking nonsense. Thinking of the captain's angry look when he didn't catch any fish before, coupled with what he said, I almost laughed out loud just now. Fortunately, I covered my mouth quickly."
"I almost laughed too. I didn't realize that the captain loved to show off so much before, but now I understand. No one can escape the envious and admiring eyes of others, coupled with excited and praising words, it can be called a sure win. If you escape it, it means you are not good enough."
Yang Mumu felt the same way, understood and joined in.
"I caught so many fish today. I was so happy to see so many people looking at me and hearing so many exclamations. I used to disdain them, but now they are so delicious."
Song Yan nodded, "That's right, I can't escape either, hehe, the way they looked at me just now, I felt so proud and happy."
Yang Mumu looked at the time, patted him, and ran forward, "Let's walk faster, the food should be ready soon, and the fish is better to eat while it's hot."
"Yes, yes, my hairtail, go faster."
Song Yan couldn't hold back his saliva any longer, and followed Yang Mumu as he ran quickly towards the Youth League Courtyard.
When we arrived, they had just finished preparing the meal and had set up several tables.
He Yuan happened to come out with a plate of salad cucumbers and put it on the table, "Mu Mu, you guys are back, it's just in time, wash your hands and get ready for dinner, it's already ready."
She called out towards the kitchen again, "Qingwan, Zhizhi, Gu Xingzhou, they're back. You can serve the food now. You don't need to keep it warm."
"Okay, let's eat!"
Yang Mumu walked towards the bucket beside her and washed her hands.
After washing his hands, Song Yan moved closer to Liu Qingwan. While serving the dishes, he told Liu Qingwan about the process of catching hairtail and related events.
Well, that's quite an exaggeration.
Yang Mumu wanted to laugh when she saw it. Isn’t this just a replica of the captain? He is really good at learning and applying what he has learned. That’s great!
He Yuan walked over to Yang Mumu and sat down, joking, "Oh, Mumu, look at how clingy they are. People who have a partner are different. It makes me sick to my teeth!"
Xia Zhizhi sat down with the food in her hand, looked at the two people over there and said with a smile, "This is abusing us because we have no one to target!"
"Hehe, sorry, I also have a partner, so you can't bully me, only you!" Yang Mumu leaned a little closer to Gu Xingzhou who was sitting next to her, and looked at the two single dogs with a smile.
Gu Xingzhou had a faint smile on his face and moved closer to her cooperatively.
"Ouch, I forgot that you also have a partner, and you only abuse me!"
Xia Zhizhi was full of dog food and let out a weird cry.
He Yuan patted her on the shoulder, "And me, I'm single too, we can still keep each other company!"
"You, I remember you have a fiancé."
Xia Zhizhi waved her hand. After saying this, she realized that it seemed, probably, as if, indeed, she was the only one who was alone. Seeing them in pairs, why did she feel a little overwhelmed and a little sad?
"Oh my god, you all have a partner, why am I the only one left single? I see a couple here and there, but I'm the only one left swaying in the wind~"
As he was talking, he started singing.
The dining atmosphere was so relaxed that everyone laughed out loud. Yang Mumu picked up a piece of red snapper with chopsticks for the funny Xia Zhizhi.
"Stop shaking, stop shaking. Come, sister will take care of you. This is the fish I caught. You know my family's boating skills. Eat more. It's delicious."
Xia Zhizhi happily picked up the chopsticks and started eating. "Mm, delicious, thank you for your love, sister!"
"If it tastes good, eat more."
Yang Mumu gave her a bright smile in return, ate a piece of food with her chopsticks, then turned to look at He Yuan curiously.
"Hey, when did Yuanyuan get a fiancé? Tell me, why don't I know?"
"Yes, yes, we have never heard of it. What's going on?" Liu Qingwan also looked over curiously.
He Yuan swallowed the food in her mouth and waved her hand:
"My fiancé doesn't count. That was a joke from an elder before I was born. When I was still in my mother's belly, the elder moved to another city for work transfer. We never met or contacted each other afterwards. We didn't even know what each other looked like. It doesn't count."
"Well, you really can't be considered to have a fiancé, so you can ignore it." Yang Mumu nodded and picked up a piece of fish for He Yuan, "Come, eat some vegetables."
Song Yan highly recommended, "Eat the hairtail fish I caught. Come and try it. The fresh hairtail fish paired with my family's Qing Wan's cooking skills is very, very delicious."
"Okay, okay, it doesn't matter that I don't have a partner, but I have good friends. It's fine if you have a partner, and I can eat and drink with them. Hehe, this is not bad either."
Xia Zhizhi gave a lewd smile and ate with big mouthfuls of chopsticks.
"Everyone eat."
Yang Mumu also took out his own spoils, and poured some sorghum wine for everyone. Those who couldn't drink alcohol used chopsticks to dip it in the wine to get some joy and have a lively meal.
**
The next day, Yang Mumu, Gu Xingzhou and Song Yan went to the brigade early in the morning to wait for the captain and the accountant.
The captain and Uncle Qianjin came over holding enamel cups, looking very happy. The standing hair showed that they were in a good mood.
"Sit down, everyone sit over here, Mumu. The fish we caught yesterday sold for a very good price. I will now fulfill my promise to you."
"Look, this is all the fruits of our labor yesterday afternoon." Uncle Qianjin sat down, put a bag on the table and pointed at it, then spread out the account book in his hand and pushed it in front of them, "Come, come, let me show you the account book, I guarantee you will be very happy."
There was no need to look at the account book. Their eyes lit up just by seeing the bag on the table. It was full of money, including their share.
