"Oh, these bayberries are so delicious!" Zhou Xiuying felt embarrassed after eating so many bayberries at once, but then she was a little surprised.
"Hey, my teeth don't feel sore after eating so many bayberries!"
"Haha, I told you, this bayberry doesn't make your teeth sour."
Zhou Xiuqin moved the plate closer to her sister and said with a smile, "When we were young, we went up the mountain every day and ate bayberries in the summer. We ate so many that now I can't eat any. But today I ate more than 30 in a row!"
"Do your teeth feel sore?"
“Not sour.”
"I don't dare eat so much at once now. I still remember when we were young, every time the bayberries were ripe, we would carry baskets up the mountain to pick them, and we would pick a whole basket each time. We ate them every day, and they became so sour that we couldn't even eat our meals..."
The two old ladies talked about the past. Shen Yunzhao did not disturb them, but took Yaoyao downstairs to play.
When she came back, Zhou Xiuying looked at her with a complicated expression, one of surprise, confusion, and regret.
"Yun Zhao, are you really going to set up a stall at Dongmen Market?"
Shen Yunzhao didn't understand what was going on, so he replied, "Yeah, it's been done twice."
"How's business?"
"It's okay."
"Hey, Yun Zhao, I have something to say today. You're still so young and well-educated, so don't treat setting up a stall as a career. You should still find a job. It would be best to take the civil service exam; it's stable and the salary won't be too low. If you and your wife were both civil servants, your life would be much better than others..."
Shen Yunzhao responded with "hmmmm" and did not refute.
Actually, what my aunt said makes a lot of sense. This is how small towns are. There are not many jobs.
Their small county is relatively wealthy. There is a Fortune 500 company there. Every year, this company recruits a large number of local employees, and there are many jobs available.
However, Shen Yunzhao had no connections, no special skills, and he studied liberal arts, so it was extremely difficult for him to get into this company, almost impossible.
If you go to other companies, the salary will be just over 2,000 yuan or at most 3,000 yuan, no more, so the best way out is to take the civil service exam.
In the dream, she took the exam for several years but failed. Finally, when she was over 35 years old, she no longer had the chance to take the exam, so she had to find a job with a salary of two or three thousand.
If it weren't for the golden finger of space, Shen Yunzhao would definitely practice questions every day and would definitely pass the exam.
But after having the space, she no longer had the idea of taking the civil service exam.
"Forget it. I don't want to get involved in their affairs anymore. Let them do whatever they want, whether they want to take the exam or not. They're still young, so they can always find a job. By the way, didn't you say last time that the prescription prescribed by the old Chinese doctor on Beihuan Road was very effective? Have you tried it?"
Zhou Xiuqin changed the subject.
Zhou Xiuying didn't stay long before going back. While it was still early, Shen Yunzhao and Zhou Xiuqin took Yaoyao into the space.
They didn't work, one was fishing and the other was taking care of the children.
Shen Yunzhao had only fished a few times and her skills were not very good, so she thought she would not get anything in the space.
As a result, she hadn't sat down for five minutes when she felt a force pulling on the fishing rod.
There are fish!
Shen Yunzhao quickly reeled in the line and pulled the fishing rod upwards.
That thing was extremely powerful, and Shen Yunzhao nearly lost his grip on it several times. He put in a lot of effort, but the fish was still in the river.
"Wow, what a fat fish!"
Zhou Xiuqin happened to be carrying Yaoyao over and saw the big fat fish splashing in the water.
It was a big grass carp, very large, probably weighing more than ten pounds.
Zhou Xiuqin put Yaoyao down and ran over to help Shen Yunzhao pull the fish ashore and put it in a plastic basin.
The fish was not used to the unfamiliar environment and thrashed around in the basin, but soon calmed down.
"Haha, let's have fish for dinner! I just don't know if the fish here is delicious and tender."
Zhou Xiuqin was already thinking about how to cook the fish: steam it, braise it, or boil it?
"It should be delicious!" Shen Yunzhao was not sure, but based on her experience, the products produced in the space must be of high quality.
After a pause, she added, "It's just a little silly."
Zhou Xiuqin was stunned. "Fish is too stupid? What does that mean?"
"Uh... I just think the fish here are too easy to catch. It's stupid."
Zhou Xiuqin was speechless. "No one fishes here, so of course the fish are stupid. If it were a place where people often fish, the fish there would be very smart and it wouldn't be so easy to catch them."
"Mom, do you want to try it?"
"Me?" Zhou Xiuqin thought for a moment and said, "I'll try."
Zhou Xiuqin sat where Shen Yunzhao had just sat, put down the fishing rod, and waited for the fish to bite.
Shen Yunzhao stood by holding Yaoyao and watching. After a while, Yaoyao couldn't stay any longer and twisted her little body to go downstairs to play. Shen Yunzhao had no choice but to take her to play.
Half an hour later, Shen Yunzhao came back.
"Mom, did you catch anything?"
Zhou Xiuqin sat steadily, "Not yet. Hush, the fish is about to take the bait, don't say anything."
Another twenty minutes later, Shen Yunzhao came back again.
"Mom, did you catch anything?"
"It's almost done, stop making noise!"
Zhou Xiuqin stared at the river, her tone hinting at impatience.
Another half an hour later, Shen Yunzhao came back again.
"Mom, are the fish hooked?"
Zhou Xiuqin was already standing by the river, completely losing her patience. "There aren't even a few fish in this lousy river! I've been fishing for so long and haven't caught a single one! Forget it, I'm not fishing anymore!"
What's wrong with the fish in this river?
Very smart!
She dropped the fishing rod, turned around and picked up Yaoyao.
My granddaughter is the best and the cutest!
Shen Yunzhao silently picked up the fishing rod, thinking that he must have been lucky to catch one, or was it that she was still in the novice protection period?
Even though I thought so, I still tried again without giving up.
Let go of the line, hold the rod, sit down, all in one smooth motion.
Zhou Xiuqin frowned. "Still fishing? The fish in this river are very smart, they won't be caught so easily. Let's go, let's take Yaoyao for a walk. I saw some wild flowers nearby, let me pick one for Yaoyao."
"I'll try again."
"Never mind, whatever you say!"
Seeing that persuasion didn't work, Zhou Xiuqin didn't want to waste her breath and pulled out some grass to make a grasshopper for Yaoyao.
In less than five minutes, Shen Yunzhao felt the sensation of his fishing rod being bitten and being dragged down by a huge force again.
And this time the force was even greater, and she was dragged up from the chair.
"Mom, come and help! There's a big fish!"
Shen Yunzhao yelled, and Zhou Xiuqin hurried over.
Zhou Xiuqin didn't see the fish, she only saw ripples on the originally calm water surface. Something in the water was playing tug-of-war with her daughter, and the fishing line was being dragged into the water little by little.
Zhou Xiuqin quickly grabbed the other side of the fishing rod, and the two of them worked together. In just a moment, a big grass carp was dragged ashore.
"Wow, this fish is bigger than the last one!"
If the grass carp just now weighed about thirteen or fourteen pounds, this one weighs at least twenty pounds!
