"Got it, Uncle Lv. If she doesn’t listen, I’ll tell Sister Jiang. Besides, my brother-in-law will be back soon."
Wei Kaiyun disliked the cold on the ice surface, so he went straight ashore. Lv Beiguang suddenly rembered; are they talking here making the fish afraid to co near? So he called Zhao Xiaoqiang and the others ashore too.
"Director Wei, how long do we need to wait?"
"I’m not sure either. Last ti we waited for an hour. This ti we’ll wait for Guodong to co back and then pull up the net."
Lv Guodong hurried ho, and by this ti, Jianbin and the others had already finished class. Seeing Guodong, the two imdiately gathered around.
"Brother Guodong, did you catch any fish?"
"We just set the net, so we don’t know yet."
Shi Jing thought for a mont, then turned and ran to find Master Shang.
Seeing Shi Jing run off, Jianbin knew what his brother was up to and followed him.
Shang Zhenkun listened to the two boys’ request and nodded with a smile, "You can go, but when you co back, you have to do horse stance for half an hour."
Both nodded excitedly. Horse stance, then horse stance.
Feifei ca over from behind, looking dismissively at her brothers, "I’m not going. You guys go by yourselves. It’s so cold outside, I don’t want to go out."
"Feifei, don’t you want to see the big fish?"
"I don’t want to. I can see them at ho soon enough."
Shang Zhenkun stood aside, smiling as he watched the three kids interact.
Guodong changed clothes and ca out, Shi Jing ran over with a smile, "We want to go too."
Seeing Shang Zhenkun nod, Guodong also nodded, "Let’s go, together. Hurry, you two, wear your coats and hats.
Feifei, you really don’t want to go?"
Jiang Feifei nodded, "I’m not going. I’m going to play with my younger siblings, you guys go."
Shang Zhenkun, not at ease, went along as well.
"Brother Guodong, why aren’t you carrying a basket?"
"I’ve already taken it over."
"Bring another basket. If there are a lot of fish, it’d be a sha if we can’t carry them back." Guodong listened to Shi Jing’s words, smiling, then grabbed another basket.
When they got to the riverbank, they didn’t see Guodong’s two friends. Guodong knew that they didn’t want to co and share the fish. Guodong took note of this kindness.
Zhao Xiaoqiang saw Jianbin and Shi Jing arriving and happily ran over.
Shang Zhenkun approached Wei Kaiyun, "How much ti has passed?"
"Forty minutes."
"Let’s wait a bit longer. No rush."
Wei Kaiyun worried the children might be cold, so he wanted to gather wood to start a fire, but was refused by Shi Jing.
"Dad, I’m not cold, no need to start a fire." When they hadn’t arrived, dad never started a fire, and he wasn’t cold, nor needed one.
After waiting for about half an hour, everyone finally went down to the ice.
Lv Family father and son handled the net. "Uncle Wei, there are fish, I feel the net moving."
Wei Kaiyun laughed, "That ans you’re lucky, and the hard work wasn’t in vain."
Lv Beiguang also was very happy. The father and son slowly pulled. They saw big silver carp, big carp, and big grass carp.
Shi Jing and Jianbin, perceptive as ever, went to the shore to fetch the baskets.
"Brother Guodong, I told you. Bring another basket, see, now it’s useful?"
Guodong smiled and nodded, "Right, Shi Jing, you have foresight, listening to you was right."
This net had a total of ten fish: three big carp, three big grass carp, and four big silver carp.
Lv Beiguang felt relieved. The fish were enough. His son’s luck was indeed quite good, recognizing the need for fish, and unexpectedly catching so many. It was more than enough.
The few of them didn’t carry the basket on their backs. Everything was wet, so two people carried a basket together on their way ho.
Reaching ho, Guodong took out two grass carp to give to his two friends, as their help contributed to the success.
Lv Beiguang directly sat in the yard to clean the fish. Carp should be used for the engagent banquet, but he cleaned up the other grass carp too.
Du Fengying ca out, "Mr. Lv, cook the fish tonight, let it sit for a day tomorrow, and then take it the next day, so the broth doesn’t spill."
"Sister Du, you decide, I have no objections."
Just then, a young man entered the yard.
Yang Zhongyi instantly recognized him as Jing Chu’s father. He was imnsely relieved that he ca today. He had originally planned on coming Saturday, but since the afternoon’s tasks were completed and he missed that girl dearly, he arrived purely on impulse.
Thank goodness, thank goodness. But why was the girl’s father here?
Just as Shi Jing ran out and saw Yang Zhongyi, "Uncle Yang, are you here for dinner at our place? You’re really lucky; today there’s fish to eat."
Yang Zhongyi heard Shi Jing’s words and was speechless; he was seen as just coming to eat in the kid’s eyes.
Alright, then eating it is.
"Indeed, I’m quite lucky. Getting to eat fish today?"
"Of course. Haven’t you seen Uncle Lv cleaning fish?"
Shi Jing’s eyes skated around, "Uncle Yang, if you’re coming to our house to eat, you should do so work, right? Look at Uncle Lv working alone; I think you wouldn’t enjoy the al as much. If you help out, it’ll feel different, don’t you think?"
Yang Zhongyi laughed and nodded, "Of course, I’ll get to work and eat more tonight."
Wei Kaiyun heard the voices in the yard and laughed. Perhaps Yang Zhongyi might indeed fulfill his wishes.
He ca out, smiling at Yang Zhongyi, "You’re lucky."
Yang Zhongyi understood what Wei Kaiyun ant and nodded with a smile.
Wei Kaiyun also approached Lv Beiguang, "Let introduce you, this is Yang Zhongyi from the army; Zhongyi, this is Guodong and Jing Chu’s father, Lv Beiguang."
Lv Beiguang nodded with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Yang."
"I didn’t expect Guodong’s father to be so young." So good looking too. Now he finally understood why the girl was so pretty.
"Haha, my hands aren’t clean now, Mr. Yang, have a seat inside."
"Uncle Lv, let help you."
Wei Kaiyun scornfully glanced at Yang Zhongyi. This guy calls Brother Wei, but Uncle Lv is referred to as uncle? He sure has thick skin.
"No need, no need, it’s almost done. Don’t dirty your hands."
"Just let him help you, I’ll call Du Fengying and the others to cook the fish."
When Jiang Xinyu returned, the fish was already cooking in the pot.
"Sister-in-law, I’m here again for dinner."
Jiang Xinyu smiled and said, "You’re welco. I’ll go check on the kids first, make yourself at ho." She heard Shi Xian howling; this kid doesn’t cry but howls now.
Yang Zhongyi finally saw his beloved girl. Sohow she seed even prettier? She really fits his heart’s desire.
"Guodong, what’s the occasion? Why so much fish and at?"
Jianbin chuckled on the side, "Brother Guodong is getting engaged, getting a wife."
Yang Zhongyi paused, "This is really good news. I wonder who the lucky girl is?"
