Chu Ran and Chen Jiang just watched them from the side and didn't care as long as they were not in danger.

Listening to their laughter and jokes, "Why don't I see Lao Wu?"

"I heard he went to the county town. We didn't run into him."

"It would be even more lively if they added Old Five to the mix. They all have noisy personalities."

Chen Jiang smiled. Zeng Xiaofan and his younger brother indeed had similar personalities. They were both the youngest in the family and had similar personalities.

"Can you catch any fish?"

Chu Ran nodded. "I think we should be able to get something, right? I used to bring back some fish."

"Why else would you be so energetic?"

"Yeah. I didn't eat much fish later. But I was quite excited watching the fishing."

Soon the hole in the ice was made. Yun Shan and his team had brought all the tools. Now they were quiet, for fear of scaring the fish away.

Several people came running over with smiles on their faces.

"Why? We still need to give the fish time to get online?"

"Of course. Otherwise, the fish would have been scared away by the loud noise of breaking the ice just now. My mother said that fish also need to breathe. Although they can breathe in water, they will come over if there is a place with ventilation in such thick ice."

Chu Ran just watched them skating on the ice.

Children are better because they are carefree. I feel good when I am with them.

Chen Jiang also went over to accompany them. It was too cold to stand on the ice, so they still needed to exercise.
Yunyu also came over and pulled Chu Ran to follow.

After playing for about an hour, they went to check their gains.

"Wow, there really are fish."

"That's right. They don't care who we are. The uncles said that if we follow them, we will gain more and that we are lucky."

"Yes, yes. You are just lucky. Let's go to the meadow tomorrow afternoon."

"Uncle Xiaofan, how much can you eat by yourself?" Yun Xin asked with a smile.

"Didn't you say that we would give fish to the comrades on the farm? If we can eat fish during the New Year, it will surely bring us plenty in the coming year. What a good omen."

"Okay. Let's go after lunch tomorrow."

As long as there is something to play with, Zeng Xiaofan really has no objection.

A total of five carps weighing two or three pounds were caught today.

"Let's keep these five fish and have boiled fish tomorrow. My mother's kimchi fish is also very delicious."

Zeng Xiaofan swallowed his saliva and said, "Comrade Chen's cooking skills are really good. It tastes better than what my mother cooks."

"Of course, my mother's cooking skills are very good."

Now they started comparing whose mother cooked what dish was more delicious.

They returned to the base, where people were already waiting for them.

This time Chunlai and Liu Kui also went back with them. They both asked for leave tomorrow to help at home. After all, Chu Ran is getting married tomorrow, and although it won’t be a big wedding, all family members nearby will attend.

All three cars were full. Chen Miao had already prepared dinner when they got home. To save time, they had lamb ribs and mutton hotpot. The children liked grilled lamb skewers, so they also had them.

"Wife, are you the only one who has done so much?"

Mrs. Zhang has been given a holiday, so Chen Miao has to do everything by himself.

"It wasn't much trouble."

Let her rest. With so many family members coming, they can do anything.

Chu Ran smiled and grilled mutton skewers for the children. They would often eat this meal when they were in the mountains. Chen Miao told them that if they were not good at cooking, they could just grill the meat. That way the taste would not be much different, and they all loved it.

So the skill of grilled lamb kebabs has been mastered.

The little girl sat beside him and helped with the work. Although sometimes she just caused trouble, both adults and children liked this atmosphere.

Where have the Zeng siblings ever eaten like this? "Yun Chang, your mother's cooking is still the best."

The three Zeng sisters didn't even bother to look at their younger brother. This kid is really out of line.

Chen Miao sat on the side drinking tea, listening to his family chatting and laughing. They talked about anything, and there would always be one or two or even more people joining in the conversation, so there was never any awkward silence.

"Old Four, come have a drink with me?"

"Master, I can't drink either, right?"

"It's okay, have a drink, this is your own home."

Chen Jiang really didn't think the wine was that good, but his brother-in-law and his sister-in-law couldn't drink, and neither could his brothers, nephews, and nieces. Brother Chu was working, so he had to do it himself.

When I was drinking, I thought of Cao Xueying, thinking about the last time she accompanied the Taoist priest to drink. She was a girl who liked to drink.

Just thinking about these things, I felt sad that the other person didn't like me.

At this time, Cao Xueying was climbing the mountain with her relatives in the village. She was in a bad mood all day.

She didn't know what she wanted to do now. She disliked Chen Jiang a little, but there was no one better than him around her. There would never be anyone better in the future.

I was just a little unhappy that he ignored me yesterday. I didn't really look down on him. Why did I give up?
I felt even more upset thinking about the expression on his face today when he refused to wait to see grandma and mother.

It's so abominable. Why can't you be more considerate to yourself?
"Little sister, please watch the road."

"I understand. Second brother, just take care of dad. I have no problem with that."

"Of course you're fine, but be careful. The mountain road is too slippery, and we've walked on it so hard that we'll fall if we're not careful."

"I understand." Cao Xueying told herself not to think about it anymore. It was over and it was over, but she really couldn't accept it.

They rested in the cave for two hours at night. Cao Qingping sighed as he looked at his daughter.

My daughter is moved. I don’t know what happened, but looking at her condition, it seems that it won’t work.

That young man is good in every way, except that he is disabled.

Patting my daughter on the back. It's not appropriate to say anything with so many people around.

Two hours later, everyone cheered up and set off again.

Cao Xueying just couldn't muster up the energy, so Gangzi came over and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, I'm just a little tired."

"This isn't you. Otherwise I'll carry you."

Although it was at night, I could still see Gangzi's face clearly on the snow, and I compared him with Chen Jiang unconsciously. Except for his good health, he was not as good as Chen Jiang in any other way.

"Why are you looking at me like that? What's wrong with me?"

"It's okay. Do I need you to carry me? I can do it myself. Let's go. Let's go back early."

“Cheer up, we have to walk all night and we will reach the village at noon tomorrow.

I won't feel tired if I think about living at the foot of the mountain in the future, don't you think?"

"Yeah, not tired anymore."

After walking for a while, I thought of Chen Jianglai again, thinking about the little things I had with him. In fact, even if he lost an arm, it did not affect his life.

Only now did she regret it. She didn't know what happened yesterday. And why did she let him see it?
If you miss Chen Jiang, you probably won't be able to find someone with better conditions. The main reason is that his life is really good. Isn't it the purpose of life to make a living?
