Secretary Yang and Captain Zhang were muttering here, and Chen Fan drove a small yacht over there, and in just a few minutes, they crossed several riverside units such as the waste recycling company and the water conservancy department, and arrived at the riverside of Beicheng District, which is located upstream.

Seeing the familiar grove, he slowed down and slowly drove towards the river.

Now the water level of the Yangtze River has receded, and it is not only far from the embankment, but also exposed a rocky beach.

The unmodified riverside is basically three environments: sandy beach, rocky beach, and mudflat.

The most convenient place to stop is naturally the beach, and as for the rocky beach, it will be a little bit.

Chen Fan tried his best to find a suitable place to dock and anchored, and without waiting for the boat to stop, Jiang Lili jumped on a big rock and ran forward.

Not far away, Jiang Tiantian and a middle-aged couple ran quickly to this side, their faces were a little anxious with excitement, but they didn't dare to shout loudly, but they unconsciously quickened their pace.

Chen Fan didn't get off the boat, even if he was going to say hello to Jiang Lili's parents, it wasn't at this time, the family was in a hurry to reunite, it was more appropriate to wait for them to finish chatting before greeting.

He stood up from the driver's seat, took out a cigarette and lit it, and couldn't help but smile when he saw Jiang Lili meeting and hugging them.

Then he walked to the stern, opened the cabinet door under the rear seat, and took out a one-meter-long cloth bag from inside, and turned out a maza he had made himself.

Mazha this thing, Chen Fan has never seen it in the Yunhu area in his two lives combined, there are only various small wooden and bamboo benches here.

The first time he saw Mazha was in the university, the broken school was in a city in the north, and there was not even a desk in the dormitory, only a hole was cut in the bed wall as a bookcase, and a Mazha was used as a stool.

As for the cloth bag, inside was a set of splicing fishing rods.

(6, 70s splicing fishing rod, don't ask how to use, haven't used -_-||.) ）

The fishing rod was given by the director of the repair shop of the water transport company, and along with the fishing rod there were some gadgets that could be used on the boat, such as two splicing oars.

Chen Fan wondered if he was not confident in the quality of this second-hand boat manoeuvre, for fear that he would stop eating on the road, so he deliberately got two oars for backup.

Why don't you make a sail again?

After studying for a while, the clever Chen Fan mastered the splicing method of the fishing rod and put the fishing rod on, and the length was more than 5 meters.

Then the fishing line and hook are loaded, the river is so fast, there is no need to sprinkle bait or anything, so I directly take out the earthworm from the jar and hang it, and throw the hook to fish.

Can I catch fish here?

I don't know, it's better than waiting on a ship anyway.

As a result, before a cigarette was finished, Chen Fan felt that the strength of the fishing rod in his hand had changed, and he immediately held the fishing rod and shook it slowly, without much effort, he pulled up a slender fish.

Chen Fan pulled the fishing line in front of him, and immediately smiled.

What kind of luck is it that I caught a river fish?!

As we all know, there are four fresh foods in the Yangtze River, namely whitebait, saury, long-snouted bass and anchovy. (Another theory is the Yangtze River three fresh, saury, anchovy and pufferfish)

In particular, the saury is famous all over the world because it is fried to a sky-high price, known as the first fresh in the Yangtze River, and the wild saury is fried to more than 10,000 catties.

In fact, the saury is not precious, but later it became scarce because of overfishing, a large number of lake knives and sea knives are pretending to be river knives, unless it is a glutton, otherwise the average person can not eat the taste difference, but the price is dozens of times worse.

The long-snouted bass is the biological name of the river group, and it is also one of the four fresh, whether it is now or in the future, the wild river group is very rare.

The name of this fish varies from place to place, some places are called catfish, fat head, fat fish, and some places are called river tuan.

In the early 80s, it was sold for 10 yuan a pound in riverside cities, and it was more expensive in other places.

Now, even if it's not as good, it is estimated that it is not too much worse, five or six yuan a pound must be wanted, much more expensive than meat.

Just like hairy crabs, many people have heard the story of hairy crabs being eaten by fishermen in Yangcheng Lake during the three-year period, and they think that hairy crabs were not worth much.

In fact, as early as in the Dream of Red Mansions, there is a description of eating hairy crabs during the Mid-Autumn Festival in Jiafu, and there are special "eight crabs", which shows that many years ago, hairy crabs were high-end food, and that era was just a special situation.

This river group is similar, although the general market is that fish is not as good as meat, but when you encounter this kind of high-end river fresh, you can also sell it at a much more expensive price than meat.

When he caught Jiang Tuan, Chen Fan naturally wouldn't take it out and sell it, he happily opened a deck, which turned out to be a small fish pond, threw the fish into it, and then turned out a small bucket with a rope from under the other deck, hit a bucket of water and poured it in, and Jiang Tuan immediately began to swim.

With the harvest, Chen Fan was more confident, and he threw it down again.

On the bank of the river, Jiang Heng looked at Chen Fan's back, his eyes couldn't help but be a little strange, but they quickly returned to normal.

Then he turned his head to look at Jiang Lili, who was holding her mother's arm, with a little relief on her face and a little apology, "Lili, this opportunity is rare, you must work hard." In addition, "

As he spoke, he looked at Chen Fan again, "What Xiao Chen said to you is very reasonable, and he is willing to tell you these words, it is heart-to-heart, you can listen to his opinion more." ”

Jiang Lili also looked at Chen Fan when she heard this, smiled and nodded slightly, "I will." ”

Shen Xueyi took her hand and asked in a low voice, "Lili, tell your mother the truth, ...... you with him?" ”

Jiang Lili's face suddenly turned red, and she took her mother's hand and paused, "Mom, what are you talking about." ”

She said that a sourness suddenly surged in her heart, and she couldn't help lowering her head, "He is a great writer, and he is about to go to graduate school, and he is very sure, even the teachers of Jiangnan University are optimistic about him, not to mention other places, just in Lujiawan, I don't know how many good girls are worried about him, and I am just an ordinary educated youth, I dare not think about it." ”

Jiang Tiantian held her arm on the other side of her, listening to the sourness in her sister's words, she couldn't help but sigh faintly, and pulled her arm tighter.

When Jiang Heng heard this, his heart was full of unpleasant feelings, and he sighed softly, "It's Dad who has troubled you." ”

Jiang Lili quickly raised her head and pouted, "Dad, what are you talking about." ”

Shen Xueyi patted the back of her hand, grabbed it tightly, and laughed softly, "Don't be presumptuous, no matter where you go, my daughter is the best, and there is no one who is not worthy." And now there are many reports in the newspapers about the reversal of the case, maybe one day your father and I will be able to restore our reputation, you don't have too much psychological burden. ”

Jiang Lili pursed her lips and smiled, nodding slightly, "Hmm." ”

After a pause, she pouted, looked at her mother, then at her father, "Mom, Dad, I'm leaving." ”

Jiang Heng was stunned for a moment, "So fast?" ”

He raised his wrist and pulled back his sleeve and looked at the time, "Yo, it's been more than an hour." ”

Jiang Tiantian said at this time, "Dad, Mom, Lili also said just now, now Lujiawan is very different from before, Lili doesn't have to do too much farm work." And with Xiaofan taking care of him, he won't be wronged, so you can rest assured. ”

As he spoke, he put his arm around his sister's shoulders and said with a smile, "When you are admitted to college, we will see you at that time." ”

She didn't even dare to say that she would go home for a reunion.

In fact, since the announcement of the resumption of the college entrance examination, there are many people like them who want to get rid of the status quo through the college entrance examination.

But the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, but there are a very few people who can't see the situation clearly, and are still immersed in the past era, jumping up and down to oppose it.

Although she promised that Chen Fan would sign up for the exam, she had no confidence in whether she could apply for the exam. In contrast, Jiang Lili is far away in Nanhu Commune, and with Chen Fan's care, the possibility of success is even greater.

The family chatted a few more words, and Jiang Lili took out a few small packages from her bag, and handed them to her father, "Dad, this is a knee pad made by myself, which is sewn with broken fox skin, winter is coming soon, you bring it to keep warm." ”

Jiang Heng took it with a smile, "Okay, good." ”

Jiang Lili handed another package to her mother, "Mom, you have to sweep the streets in winter, this is a glove made by me, and it is also a fox skin, so it won't be cold when you wear it." ”

Shen Xueyi received it in her hand, hugged her daughter, and patted her shoulder gently, "Lili is the most well-behaved." ”

After hugging it for a few seconds and letting it go, Jiang Lili handed the last cloth bag to her sister and said with a smile, "You don't have a gift, this is the math learning materials I organized, and the previous ones are brought to you by Xiaofan, this is the last one, you must study hard, don't be thrown too much by my scores." ”

Jiang Tiantian took it, reached out and touched her face, and paused for a few seconds before saying, "If you have something, let Xiaofan bring me a letter." ”

Jiang Lili nodded, and glanced at her parents again, "Dad, Mom, I'm leaving." ”

When he said the last word, his eyes were red.

She quickly sniffled, turned and headed for the boat.

At this time, Jiang Heng hurriedly took two steps forward, "Wait." ”

Jiang Lili turned to look at him, "Huh? ”

Jiang Heng pointed at Chen Fan, who was still fishing, and whispered, "He took such good care of you, I should thank him." ”

Shen Xueyi also nodded lightly, "We should say thank you to him, this is the minimum courtesy." ”

Jiang Lili was stunned for two or three seconds before she said "oh", turned around and walked to the boat with her parents.

Chen Fan sat on the pony, lifted another rod, and muttered, "There are so many carp in this place." ”

For more than an hour, there were already more than a dozen fish in the small fish pond behind him, except for the first three river groups, only two copper fish and one anchovy, and the others were all carp.

Well, the copperfish also belongs to the carp family, so it was a carp nest?

Removing the hook and throwing the fish into the fish pond, he immediately stood up when he heard the footsteps, pretended to have just seen it, put down the fishing rod and walked over, and said with a smile, "Finished talking?" ”

Jiang Lili was just about to speak, but she blushed unconsciously, then turned to look at her parents, and was speechless.

Inexplicably, she suddenly had the feeling of seeing her parents, and her face was flushed with shame.

Jiang Tiantian couldn't help but purse her lips and shook her head secretly, then took a step forward and said to Chen Fan, "Xiaofan, this is my father and my mother's ,......."

Chen Fan immediately jumped off the fishing boat, and because he had just caught a fish in his hand, he smiled and waved his hand to say hello, "Hello uncle and aunt." ”

In terms of age, they are all in their early 40s, even if they are their own age, Chen Fan is not yet 28, and it is reasonable to barely shout uncles and aunts.

At his current age, it's even more fine.

Jiang Heng looked at Chen Fan and nodded secretly.

Don't say anything else, just by this face, I don't know how many girls are attracted.

He has also seen the world, all kinds of people have seen a lot, at this time looking at Chen Fan, I only think that he does not seem to have the frame of a celebrity at first glance, nor does he have the arrogance of a literati, but his waist is always straight, his eyes are righteous but not evil, he always smiles at people, and his actions are from his heart, without taking into account the eyes of others, he knows that he is a proud person.

When they met for the first time, Jiang Heng gave Chen Fan's first impression a high score.

He is like this, not to mention Shen Xueyi, and even has a bit of a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law in his eyes.

From Chen Fan greeting him to now, only a few seconds have passed.

Jiang Heng weighed in his heart, stepped forward quickly, stretched out his right hand and smiled, "Hello Xiao Chen." ”

After a pause, he smiled again, "I'll call you Xiao Chen, is that okay?" ”

Chen Fan raised his hands and said with a smile, "Yes, but,"

He shook his hand as he spoke, "I just caught a fish with this hand, and the smell of fish on my hand is really disrespectful, do you think it's avoidable?!" ”

Jiang Heng snorted, and naturally withdrew his hand, "Okay, listen to you." ”

As he spoke, his rating was two points higher.

Frank and unpretentious, yes.

When he talked to Chen Fan, the first thing he wanted to do was to express his gratitude.

Regardless of the future, at least for now, this young man and his daughter have stopped at friends, but they can do far more than the responsibility of friends, and in any case, it is necessary for him to come forward and say thank you.

Secondly, I want to see in person what is so special about the genius boy in the mouth of the two daughters.

When I saw him today, it really made him more satisfied.

It's just that he glanced at his little daughter covertly and sighed slightly in his heart. If it was before the accident, Lili and him would naturally be a match made in heaven, even if it was the so-called "talent" that he carefully selected for his eldest daughter before, it was far inferior.

Not to mention that the personalities of the two are as different as mud.

One is to quickly clear up the relationship when he sees that the situation is wrong, and the other person does not care about his own family members who are in the quagmire, but continues to help him in various ways.

It simply can't be compared!

After thanking her, Shen Xueyi took out a small box from her jacket pocket, handed it to Chen Fan, and said with a smile, "Listen to Tiantian, you don't have a watch yet, this is what we bought a few years ago, we haven't used it, you can see if you like it." ”

As he spoke, he opened the box.

Chen Fan originally looked at the word "Shanghai" on the box, and was a little unimpressed.

The reason why he has not acted is that he feels that the current watch is not good-looking, and he wants to go to Shanghai or the capital one day to buy an imported watch.

But the moment the box was opened, his eyes lit up.

This watch will do!

(Shanghai 7120 watch)

The brown strap and cloth dial look like a sense of fashion, which is essentially different from a stupid and thick all-steel watch.

Seeing Chen Fan's eyes, Jiang Tiantian directly took the box in her mother's hand, pushed it in front of him, and said with a smile, "I heard Lili say that you don't buy a watch because the watch in the store is not good-looking, although this watch was bought a few years ago, it is the best watch in Shanghai, you won't still look down on it, right?" ”

When it came to this, and he really liked it, Chen Fan no longer shirked it, raised his head and said with a smile, "Uncle, auntie, then I will accept it with shame." ”

Jiang Heng is from a technical background, although he has gradually sharpened his work for many years, he likes to go straight in his bones, and when he saw Chen Fan's style, he immediately raised his head and laughed, "If you like it, accept it, if you are fake and polite, I think it is too fake." ”

Chen Fan smiled, and was about to pick it up, when he suddenly paused again, and said to Jiang Lili, "You can help me hold it, it's not easy for me to hold things with this hand." ”

Jiang Tiantian smiled, turned around and handed it to her sister.

Jiang Lili came back to her senses at this time, and when she saw her sister handing her something, she was about to take it, and then she saw her watch clearly, and suddenly her eyes widened, and then she looked up at her sister suddenly.

As a result, I saw my sister winking at her, closing the lid and stuffing it into her bag.

Chen Fan saw Jiang Lili's expression change, and thought to himself, is there any meaning to this watch?

If so, wait until you return to Lujiawan and return it to Jiang Lili.

Anyway, he's not bad at this thing, so he doesn't have to take people's favor.

Saying goodbye again, Jiang Lili followed Chen Fan and got on the boat.

After Chen Fan fetched water and washed his hands and wiped them clean, he put away the iron anchor and drove the yacht slowly off the shore.

Jiang Heng, Shen Xueyi and Jiang Tiantian stood by the river and waved until they couldn't see the boat, and then left together.

On the small boat, Chen Fan turned his head to look at Jiang Lili, who bowed his head and was silent, and said with a smile, "Today is Sunday, wait for next Sunday, and I'll bring you over." ”

Jiang Lili turned her head to look at him and blinked, "Isn't this okay?" ”

Chen Fan smiled and said, "What's wrong, in fact, today is a temptation, see what Secretary Yang thinks about your problem." It turns out that they don't care about your background and past at all, and in that case, as long as you go back, what does it matter if I take you out for a trip? ”

After a pause, he said, "If you don't feel at ease, let the little warblers accompany you, and I'll take them out together." ”

Jiang Lili's eyes rolled, and after waiting for a few seconds, she grinned, "Thank you." ”

If I hadn't seen my parents today, it might have passed like this, but after seeing each other, my longing became even stronger, and if Chen Fan could bring her over again, of course she would be very happy.

Chen Fan drove the boat into the Liuhua River and headed for Lujiawan, then looked at her and asked, "Is that watch any significance?" ”

Jiang Lili was stunned for a moment, "Huh? ”

Chen Fan smiled, "Don't try to lie to me, I saw your expression just now, in a word, confess leniently, and resist strictly." ”

Jiang Lili pouted, and was silent for a few seconds before she said softly, "This watch is a wedding gift prepared by my parents for my sister." ”

Chen Fan turned his head to look at her suddenly, "Huh? ”

Jiang Lili's face was also a little embarrassed, "Don't worry about it, at that time, my sister was still in school, she didn't graduate, and she didn't go on a blind date, but her mother wanted to prepare a dowry for her in advance, and it happened that the department store had entered a batch of the latest watches, so she bought a pair and planned to make a wedding gift for her." ”

Saying that, he lowered his head, and his voice was also low, "Later, my sister graduated from secondary school and was assigned to work in the supply and marketing cooperative, someone introduced a blind date, and everything was negotiated, so I waited for my sister to get the certificate when she was old, and the result was ......."

Chen Fan also knew the rest of the matter, so he coughed dryly and said, "So your sister is lucky." ”

Jiang Lili turned her head to look at him, her face was full of confusion, "Huh? ”

Chen Fan repeated what he had said to Jiang Tiantian at the beginning, "Obviously, that man doesn't like your sister at all, otherwise, what about the cadres and workers?" Doesn't he look down on those from workers' families?

If you want me to say, it's really good to be able to see the true face of that family in advance, isn't that lucky?

Besides, your sister doesn't have nothing to lose, it's 10,000 times better than getting married and then divorcing. ”

From beginning to end, he didn't even mention his family background.

Jiang Lili blinked, raised her head and thought about it, "It seems to be true." ”

She muttered, "I remember hearing my sister say that she actually didn't have any feelings for that man, at most she didn't hate it, but her mother always urged her to agree, and on the day they separated, they didn't even hold hands." ”

The corners of Chen Fan's mouth twitched slightly, "Don't talk about this kind of private thing." ”

Jiang Lili's face was slightly red, "Isn't this you, I never tell others this." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she realized what she had said, and her blood suddenly surged and her face was hot.

Chen Fan turned his head to look at her, smiled slightly, and skipped the topic directly, "So this watch didn't give it away?" ”

Jiang Lili came back to her senses and forcibly calmed down, "Well, I didn't get married, of course I didn't send it out, so this pair of watches has been kept at home." ”

Chen Fan's eyes rolled slightly, "You said this watch is a pair?" ”

Jiang Lili's facial features were squeezed together, and her face seemed to be bitter, "A pair is a pair, but, it's ......"

Chen Fan turned his head to look at her, "But what?" ”

Jiang Lili held back for a long time before muttering, "But I heard my sister say that she doesn't want it anymore." ”

She covered her face with her hands, not daring to raise her head to look at people.

Doesn't this mean that the gift to Chen Fan is something that others don't want?

If it weren't for the fact that she had spoken about it here, she would never have said this.

Chen Fan didn't care, and said with a smile, "That is, your sister has drilled the horns, or rather, she still has some mustard in her heart, but well, it's the person who is wrong, not the thing, not to mention that it hasn't been sent out yet, why is there anything wrong?" ”

Jiang Lili turned her head to look at him and asked cautiously, "You, don't mind?" ”

"What's there to mind about that?"

Chen Fan glanced at her and directly stretched out his left hand, "Come, put it on for me." ”

Jiang Lili blinked, her eyes turned twice, and seeing that Chen Fan seemed to be serious, she took out the watch box from her bag, took off the watch, and then pressed her pounding heart, held her breath, and put the watch on Chen Fan.
