Chapter 439: Yan Jiecheng's Duplicity
Finally, with a crisp sound of water, a fish jumped out of the water, drew a silver arc in the air, and then fell heavily back into the river.
But it was only a brief struggle. Soon, with the tacit cooperation of the three people, the fish was finally successfully pulled ashore.
Although this fish is not as big as the one He Yuzhu just caught, in Chang'an's eyes, it is a priceless treasure.
He jumped up excitedly, holding the fish tightly in his hands, with a smile brighter than the sun on his face. He shouted loudly: "I finally caught a fish! I succeeded!" His voice was full of pride and joy.
He Daqing walked up with a smile and gently patted Chang'an on the shoulder, his eyes full of love and admiration:
"Changan is amazing! It's amazing that you can get such a big catch on your first try. Let's go fishing together next time. I believe you will catch more and bigger fish."
After that, they began to pack up and prepare to go home. Changan was immersed in joy all the way, he held the fish tightly, as if he was afraid that it would run away.
He kept telling He Daqing and He Yuzhu about his fishing experiences, and every detail he described was so vivid and interesting, as if they were back to that exciting moment.
He Daqing and He Yuzhu listened patiently, occasionally saying a few words, sharing each other's happiness and memories. In this way, the family of three set off on the road home in laughter and joy.
......
After returning home, He Yuzhu carefully helped Chang'an take off his clothes that were covered with dirt and grass debris. His actions revealed the tenderness and meticulousness unique to a father.
He led Chang'an to the bathroom, and while running water to adjust the water temperature, he patiently told Chang'an to be careful and not to slip. Watching Chang'an excitedly scrubbing the dust off his body in the bathroom, He Yuzhu's face was filled with a satisfied smile.
After Changan had almost finished playing, He Yuzhu turned and walked towards the kitchen to start processing the fish he had caught today.
He first picked out the largest and fattest fish, his eyes shining with anticipation, as if he could already imagine the deliciousness of the fish soup.
He expertly scaled, gutted, cleaned, and set aside. As for the rest of the fish, he carefully placed them in a large basin, added clean water and a little salt, and let them settle down temporarily.
After processing the fish, He Yuzhu looked out the window and saw the afterglow of the setting sun filling the entire yard, adding a bit of warmth and romance to this ordinary day.
He thought about it and decided it was time to pick up Yu Haitang and take her home. So he took a medium-sized fish out of the basin, strung it skillfully with a thin string, and held it in his hand, ready to go to Yan's house.
When he arrived at the door of Yan's house, he found that it was half-open. The breeze gently blew the door, making a slight creaking sound.
He Yuzhu didn't think much about it. He took a step forward, crossed the threshold, and shouted loudly: "Sister! Brother-in-law! I'm here to pick up Haitang!"
His voice was bright and enthusiastic. At the same time, his face was filled with happiness and joy of seeing his wife soon, and his eyes were shining with anticipation.
After shouting a few times, there was a sound of brisk footsteps in the house, and then Yan Jiecheng's figure appeared at the door.
When he saw He Yuzhu, a warm smile immediately broke out on his face, and his eyes seemed to be able to speak, flashing with kindness and joy.
He walked up quickly and greeted her warmly, "Yuzhu, come in and sit down. Don't stand at the door. Haitang is chatting happily with Yu Li in the room."
Seeing this, He Yuzhu raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a gentle smile. He handed the fish in his hand over and said softly:
"Brother-in-law, this is the catch we got from fishing today. Look how fresh the fish is. I'll give you one to try as a token of my appreciation."
Yan Jiecheng took the fish, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He looked down at the fish, and sure enough, its scales were shiny and its eyes were clear, and he knew at a glance that it was freshly caught.
He looked up at He Yuzhu, his smile became even brighter, and he said gratefully: "Oh, Yuzhu, you are so polite. You always bring something every time you come, but since it is your kind gesture, we will respectfully obey your order. Come in and sit down and have a rest for a while."
