Chapter 26
The two of them were very happy.
"Hehe, play video games with me today." Chen Qian is now out of her mother's control and plans to try all the activities that her mother had forbidden her to do when she was a child.
With Jiang Yang's support, she now wants to experience the other side of this world.
"Hey~~~ I thought it was something else! No problem."
Jiang Yang breathed a sigh of relief. This girl is so clever, who knows what she is thinking.
The time for playing is always short, Jiang Yang played with Chen Qian for 6 consecutive days.
In the courtyard, Jiang Yang woke up again. .
Today is the day to date Lou Xiao'e, to be honest, he is looking forward to it.
He had never had a proper relationship in either world, not Chen Qian, because she came to him on her own, and he passively accepted it. He said it was a relationship, but it was more like an indulgence.
Although Lou Xiao'e's purpose of pursuing her was not pure, at least he was pursuing her step by step. It was a bit simple, but the result was good, and he was quite satisfied with Lou Xiao'e.
Jiang Yang also enjoyed this sweet feeling.
When they met again, Lou Xiao'e was wearing a white dress. Although she had two ponytails, she looked a little bit awkward, but she was still soothed by her youthful and beautiful aura.
When Lou Xiao'e saw Jiang Yang, she couldn't help but throw herself into his arms and called tenderly: "Jiang Yang."
"I'm here, Xiao'e, have you lost weight?" Jiang Yang gently hugged her waist, and the two of them snuggled together.
This scene was seen by Lou Dehua and Tan Yali who were on the third floor downstairs, and they said it was too fast.
"Old Lou, my daughter looks like this, I'm afraid she has completely fallen for him."
"Alas, that boy is only 18, and it will take two years for him to get married."
"That's how miserable Xiao'e is."
As Tan Yali said, this week, Lou Xiao'e was always alone, dazed and giggling, lamenting that time passed too slowly.
The feeling of anticipation is the happiest, but also the most exhausting.
"Jiang Yang, I want to go to the movies tonight, can you accompany me?"
After breaking free from Jiang Yang's arms, Lou Xiao'e looked at him hopefully, her eyes full of anticipation.
"No problem. We'll go fishing and have a picnic during the day."
"Yeah. I'll listen to you."
The location of Lou's house is very good, very close to various places of entertainment.
Turn right and there is a cinema about a kilometer away, and a market a hundred meters to the left. In the future, it is definitely within the Third Ring Road and the center of the business district.
Today Jiang Yang brought a fishing rod and seasonings, and made full preparations.
He didn't plan to go to Shichahai, where there were more people than fish, and they were not allowed to make fires, which was very troublesome.
There is a river next to Wangjiazhuang, which the locals call Laogou River.
He saw some fish caught in the village when he was shopping before, and asked a few questions. He knew that they were wild and no one cared.
This week, he purchased from all six villages under the Red Star Second Brigade. The quantity was not large, and all the wild agricultural products were taken to Blue Star to eat, leaving only some grains for later delivery.
Because of his generosity, not only did he give high prices, but he also often treated the children to candy, which made him very popular among these villagers.
There were countless people who introduced girls, but they fled every time.
Laogou River is less than 100 meters away from Wangjiazhuang. When Jiang Yang and Lou Xiao'e arrived, there were still a few children playing by the river, including Wang Tieniu, who had led Jiang Yang before.
Seeing Jiang Yang, the group of children swarmed over, "Hello, Uncle Jiang."*5
"Okay, okay, why are you playing by the river? It's so dangerous?"
"Don't be afraid, I can swim." Wang Tieniu is the oldest, about 8 years old, and the others are 5-6 years old, with dirty faces.
Jiang Yang knew what they were thinking, took out 5 candies from his pocket, distributed them to them, and said, "Uncle wants to fish here, can you help me find some firewood?"
"Okay!"*5
Getting the candies, they all smiled.
Seeing this scene, Lou Xiao'e felt sweet in her heart, and felt that she must give him more children.
"Xiao'e, I met these children when I was shopping, and Wangjiazhuang next door is where I shop."
"Yeah, they are so cute."
"Not as cute as you."
"Don't do it, this is outside." Lou Xiao'e looked around, it was okay if there was no one, but it would definitely not work here because it was so empty.
"Okay, let's go fishing."
Jiang Yang took out his fishing rod from the bag, filled a small basin with some river water, and began to mix the bait.
"Xiao'e, get the seasoning out. I'll need it when I catch fish later."
"Okay."
Lou Xiao'e opened the package and put pepper, cumin and sesame seeds in it.
, cooking oil and other materials on a piece of blue cloth.
This kind of cooperation feels great, just like the life between husband and wife.
Every time Lou Xiao'e looks at Jiang Yang, her heart is sweet.
He deliberately found a relatively deep corner, where it is easy to make a nest. Making a nest in other places with turbulent water is just to feed the fish.
With the bait thrown, Jiang Yang officially started fishing.
Just as he started fishing, several children returned to the river with a bundle of dry branches and asked Jiang Yang for credit.
"Uncle Jiang, look at the firewood we picked up."
Jiang Yang made a hushing gesture and whispered: "It's not enough, you go find another one, and uncle will treat you to grilled fish later."
"Really, we'll go now." Tie Niu was overjoyed, and immediately called his friends and rushed to the mountain next to him.
"They are so young, nothing will happen to them?" Lou Xiao'e was full of maternal love and was a little worried.
"Don't underestimate them. They are definitely better off if they throw you and them into the mountains."
Children of this generation are wild, perhaps because of poverty. It is common for them to go fishing in the river and climb trees to get bird eggs.
After sending a few children away, Lou Xiao'e sat next to Jiang Yang and quietly accompanied him fishing.
"Jiang Yang, it's hooked." Seeing the float constantly sinking, Lou Xiao'e exclaimed in a low voice.
Of course he saw it. When the float completely dived again, he suddenly threw the hook up, and a small fish kept swinging in the air.
Jiang Yang pulled the hook over and saw that it was a small fish less than half a catty, a bit like crucian carp, but not too similar.
He didn't know much about fishing. He was a half-baked fish. He used to fish with his grandfather when he was a child. He said that the float had to enter the water three times before the hook could be lifted. He still has the same skills now.
As for other people's fishing skills, he didn't study them in depth. It was enough to catch fish for a picnic. Why think so much?
"Xiao'e, take a basin and fill it with water. Let's catch more and then do it together."
"Okay, I want to fish too."
"Okay, then you use this fishing rod. Don't lift the rod until the float enters the water more than three times, understand?" Jiang Yang taught Xiao Bai half-heartedly, which was enough.
"Yeah, I know." Lou Xiao'e began to try with interest. She sat quietly without making any sound. Her serious look made Jiang Yang laugh.
When she heard Jiang Yang's laughter, Lou Xiao'e complained in a low voice: "Be quiet, don't scare my fish away."
"Okay." Jiang Yang perfunctorily said, fixed his other fishing rod, and joined the fishing cause.
Time passed slowly, and Jiang Yang had caught several fish, although they were all small fish of about half a catty.
On the other hand, although Lou Xiao'e had bitten the hook many times, she always let the fish run away.
A group of little kids had already surrounded them, watching intently, waiting to eat grilled fish.
"Wow, I caught it, Jiang Yang, help me."
On Lou Xiao'e's hook, a carp weighing about two kilograms was hanging, struggling frantically.
He knew this fish and had eaten a lot of it.
"Xiao'e, you are amazing."
"That's right." Lou Xiao'e wrinkled her nose, very proud.
I didn't expect there were so many kinds of fish in this river! Including Lou Xiao'e's carp, at least 4 kinds were caught.
Before Jiang Yang made a move, several children had helped to unload the fish and throw it into the basin.
Looking at the small basin was full, looking at the sky, it was almost noon.
Jiang Yang put down the hook and said, "Xiao'e, you continue fishing, I'll prepare to grill the fish."
"Okay."
Jiang Yang walked downstream, took out a knife, and quickly cleaned the fish. Some small fish were simple, just squeeze out the internal organs, they have very few scales, just grill them directly.
For the slightly larger ones, the scales need to be removed. After working for more than ten minutes, I got a bamboo about two meters long on the roadside when I went back.
Without a grill, I could only use the most primitive method. Bamboo pieces are more convenient than other methods.
Then it was life. This was simple. All I found were dry firewood. Soon, waves of meat fragrance began to float in the air.
Several children squatted beside Jiang Yang, watching the grilled fish and swallowing their saliva.
Maybe they can eat fish occasionally, but Kenda is not so fragrant.
At this time, when people got a fish, the first thought was to cook it into fish soup, because the portion was large and they could eat more meals.
It was not like now, brushing oil, sprinkling seasonings and grilling it, which was too luxurious for them.
You know, in this era, the price of fat meat is more than 20% more expensive than lean meat, because fat meat can produce oil.
"It smells so good, Uncle Jiang, is it not ready yet?" Wang Tieniu's saliva was almost unstoppable, and Uncle Jiang omitted a word.
"Don't worry, you can only eat it after it's cooked."
Jiang Yang now flips the grilled fish and sprinkles it with oil and seasoning from time to time, and his mouth begins to drool.
Lou Xiao
Lou Xiaoe had stopped fishing a long time ago. She squatted beside the children, watching Jiang Yang grilling fish together. She looked just like the children, salivating.
Three minutes later, Jiang Yang shouted loudly, "Okay, start dividing the fish. There are bones. Be careful when eating."
The five children and Lou Xiaoe each got a half-jin fish. He also picked up one, sat down with Lou Xiaoe, and started to taste it.
"Hmm~~~ It's delicious, spicy and delicious. Jiang Yang, you are really great." Lou Xiaoe couldn't help but praise.
"Yeah, yeah, Uncle Jiang is so great."
"Great~~~"*4
Being praised by his girlfriend and children, Jiang Yang was very satisfied and said happily, "Hurry up and eat. There will be more after you finish eating."
He grilled 12 half-jin small fish, and a two-jin carp was still grilling. It was more than enough for each person to get two.
There were also some very small ones. Before Jiang Yang started to make a series of numbers, these things were gone in one bite.
In the end, the seven people ate all the fish meat, and several children burped.
Lou Xiaoe touched her belly, looked at Jiang Yang with resentment, and said coquettishly, "I ate a lot, I feel fat."
"What's the big deal about being fat, it's so fun to be chubby."
"Humph, I don't want it."
"Haha, it's okay, I like you no matter how you are."
Jiang Yang blurted out, and after saying it, he felt that he had become bad, and such lies could come out of his mouth.
He used to be ashamed of such words, which was also the reason why he couldn't find a girlfriend. Even if it was a perfunctory lie, he didn't want to say it.
He claimed to treat people sincerely, and he treated them sincerely in return.
Unfortunately, others couldn't wait for this step at all and had already passed him.
