Chapter 57: Fishing
Anfu
"Little girl, are you sure there are fish in there?" Mu Yunxu saw the lotus leaf road full of ponds.
"Of course, I've seen it." Or I put it myself, how could it not be.
"However, it seems that you are a little difficult to catch fish? If you don't have to keep these lotus leaves~ it's easy to do, but ~ it's not the right fishing season now! Xu Dayong said with some hesitation.
"Then is there a way for you to fish out the fish without harming the lotus leaf." An Lan is a little anxious, if the lotus leaf is hurt, it is equivalent to hurting the lotus root, and I still count on the lotus root to sell for money!
"......" Mu Yunxu turned his head and ignored An Lan, while Xu Dayong also looked at her with a strange expression.
"What's the matter, can't you?" Did you say something wrong? Why are they all so strange.
"Of course not, Miss An, are you a god for us? If you wait for the lotus leaves to wither and then ask us to come and catch fish, it's the same. Xu Dayong kindly persuaded.
"How long will it take? It's only early summer, do you mean wait until late autumn to catch fish? ”
"Not bad!" Xu Dayong said seriously.
An Lan was a little dumbfounded, it's right to think about it carefully, when she is digging the lotus root, she is coming to catch fish, so that she can have both fish and lotus root, but if she gets the fish out of the space with a big grin, if you don't invite someone to catch the fish, how will you explain the origin of the fish at that time, so it's better ~ to catch it! She was a little anxious in her heart, she knew that she wouldn't impulsively let the fish into the pond, it was really troublesome now, after weighing it again and again, An Lan said with a painful face,
"Then, let's catch fish now!"
"Eldest sister, is there no lotus when fishing for fish?" Anhe asked in a whisper, although she was small, she was not stupid.
"Hmm." An Lan replied to her in a low voice.
"Big sister~" An He's little face was full of reluctance, and she pulled An Lan's sleeve and kept shaking.
"Okay, little lotus, it's next year, why don't you buy you a pond with lotus flowers, okay?" An Lan looked at Xiaohe's appearance and casually promised.
"Okay!" Anhe heard the promise of the eldest sister, and thought about it, it seems that these lotus flowers can't bloom, and it's not a big deal, and the eldest sister will definitely be able to do it.
...... "I'm just casually talking about whether it's good or not, who told you to take it seriously......
"Then Miss An, let's start work now?" Xu Dayong looked at An Lan in disbelief and confirmed. He persuaded her, but the little girl didn't listen, and she couldn't make a decision for her......
"Yes, yes!"
With An Lan's accurate answer, Xu Dayong reassured his brothers and started working. A group of people had a clear division of labor, some people picked up hoes, some people began to dig ditches to drain water, and some people began to prepare fish baskets for fishing, An Lan was very happy to see them busy.
Soon, the men found the drainage ditch where the house was built, and they worked together to dig a gap in the pond and start draining the water out of the pond.
An Lan has been observing the way they work, and seeing that these people are sweating all over their faces after a while, she decided to cook them some food to cool off the heat, otherwise they will have to suffer from heat stroke if they work so such a hot day.
"Han Qiao, oh~ It's Panqiu! Go to the kitchen and ask Aunt Zhang to cook some mung bean soup for these working brothers to drink. An Lan turned her head and instructed Han Qiao, but Han Qiao's girl was nowhere to be seen, and Xiao Fei and they were gone, An Lan thought that they were probably still having lunch, so she was relieved and ordered Pan Qiu Dao.
"Yes! Miss! Panqiu respectfully agreed.
This scene happened to be seen by Mu Yunxu, he suddenly became curious about An Lan, and had such a thought in his heart, and his footsteps unconsciously walked towards An Lan.
"Little girl, where are your parents? Are you a housekeeper at such a young age? Your family is also relieved? Mu Yunxu joked about An Lan from his own familiarity.
An Lan didn't have the heart to deal with him now, she only glanced at Mu Yunxu and didn't speak, Mu Yunxu continued to change the topic as if she didn't see An Lan's expression,
"What are you going to do if you put the water in the pond and find that there are no fish in it? Besides, what are you going to take with the fish? Mu Yunxu squinted at An Lan, not letting go of the subtle expression on her face.
"Shouldn't you also go over and help out? How do you have time to make small talk here? An Lan was a little disgusted by the chatter of the wood.
"I never do rough work!" Mu Yunxu raised his eyebrows proudly.
"So you mean I don't have to pay you?" An Lan quickly grasped a point and began to fight back.
“……”
"That's not going to work!" Mu Yunxu was still indifferent.
"Why not? You're not doing anything. An Lan glanced at Mu Yunxu in surprise.
"Definitely!" Mu Yunxu shook his head and made a look like you didn't understand.
"What?" An Lan looked at Mu Yunxu like this, a little inexplicable.
"Little girl, do you see, what they do is only done through my guidance, so they can do it so well. So ......"
Before Mu Yunxu finished speaking, An Lan impatiently interrupted his words and said,
"What's the matter with me? I'm only a fisherman, but you! What are you still standing here for, you bosses are all working, you are still standing, be careful to go back and get beaten......"
"I said that you little girl has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, be careful that you can't marry in the future." Mu Yunxu was so angry by An Lan's words that he began to fight back.
"I can't ask for your good words." An Lan looked at Mu Yunxu proudly.
"It's okay, eldest sister, if you can't get married, I'll raise you!" Anhe looks like a little adult.
"Okay, our good little lotus, this is what you said, my sister will count on you in the future, you can't play tricks!"
"Hmm!" Anhe nodded heavily.
Mu Yunxu looked at the two sisters and was speechless, what happened to the girls now, shouldn't they be shy when they talk about marrying one by one? Oh! By the way, these two sisters are still little girls, so this military division will forgive them generously.
"Little girl, you really don't want a barrel for fish?" Since Mu Yunxu decided to forgive them, his face was also light.
"If you have it, take it out, and I'll buy it." An Lan thought about it, she hadn't prepared yet, and now she didn't have time to make so many wooden barrels for fish when she went to the potter, so why not let this wood take it out, just some extra silver. Your own fish will be worth a lot of money in the future.
"Little girl, you are not afraid that I will cheat you for money." Mu Yunxu planned to scare An Lan. Little girl, how can you be so powerful, and when you are scared by yourself, you will cry.
"It's just you, don't be kidding." An Lan scoffed back.
"......" Mu Yunxu was deeply shocked, he was actually despised by a little girl, if it was spread out, I don't know how embarrassing it would be, thinking of this, Mu Yunxu was a little uneasy.
"That's it!" Anhe also added fuel to the fire.
"You don't want to ask about the price?" Mu Yunxu did not give up.
"I said, you are such a mother-in-law and mother of a man, and you are not afraid that you will not be able to marry a daughter-in-law!" An Lan now said directly to Mu Yunxu with a tiger face.
"......" Mu Yunxu was choked by An Lan and stopped talking. The little girl actually turned against the army, this girl, she looks very aggressive, but she is actually fine!
An Lan felt that the whole world was quiet in an instant, without the noise of the wooden brother next to her, she glanced at Mu Yunxu with a weak heart, and began to reflect on whether her attitude was too much? But after thinking about it, this wood is a man, and his ability to resist pressure must be very strong, thinking of this, An Lan is no longer entangled, and concentrates on watching the construction team catch fish.
Mu Yunxu saw that An Lan still looked heartless, a little speechless, this girl, one day you will know how resourceful this military division is......
"Miss, I have already instructed the kitchen to cook mung bean soup, see if you and the second miss go back to the room to rest first, and we can keep an eye on it here." Panqiu looked at the beads of sweat on the foreheads of the two young ladies, and began to remind without thinking about it.
"It's okay, I'm standing in the shade of a tree. There's nothing going on here, go about your business! An Lan waved her hand at Panqiu nonchalantly.
"Yes! Miss. Panqiu glanced at An Lan and stopped talking, but still walked away quietly.
