Li Qiuge pleaded.
With my mom here, I can't even enjoy fishing properly; she just keeps ruining things.
"I'm not leaving. I'm going to stay here and keep an eye on you."
Yang Xiaoyan insisted.
"Okay, Mom, here you go."
Li Qiuge handed over a spare fishing rod.
"What are you doing?"
"You go fishing too? Since you're already here, why not give it a try?"
"Qiuge, Mom doesn't know how to fish."
Yang Xiaoyan shook her head awkwardly.
"So what can you do?"
Xu Hui seized the opportunity and asked sarcastically.
"I can't fish, but I can eat fish. You guys go ahead and fish, I'll cook the fish!"
Yang Xiaoyan said.
I glanced at Xu Hui's equipment bag; unfortunately, he didn't bring a pot.
Attached is a picture of me fishing with Qiu Ge.
Chapter 203 Bathing with Xiaoyan at the Reservoir 2
goooo...
Just then, Yang Xiaoyan's stomach growled.
She didn't eat breakfast, and she ate very little last night.
"What's wrong? Didn't you have breakfast?"
Xu Hui asked carefully.
"I'm on a diet."
Yang Xiaoyan pretended to be indifferent.
"Stop pretending! People need to eat, otherwise they'll get hungry. I caught a few carp, let's grill a couple and have some!"
Xu Hui put down his fishing rod and took out a barbecue grill.
"Is this grilled fish?"
Yang Xiaoyan asked in surprise.
Generally speaking, grilled fish is first stir-fried and then boiled in restaurants, and finally placed on a long iron plate and drizzled with oil.
Xu Hui grilled the fish directly over an open flame; this grilling method is too primitive.
Not a moment.
Xu Hui then gathered some dry branches and started a fire.
"Can I eat it?"
Yang Xiaoyan was not entirely at ease.
She's from a big city and has extremely high standards when it comes to food.
I always buy organic and non-toxic vegetables, even if they are a bit more expensive.
She won't eat any lamb skewers grilled over an open flame, because she thinks they're unhygienic.
"Stepmother, you've never experienced poverty!"
After starting the fire, Xu Hui began to gut and clean the fish.
"You experienced poverty in the US? Life there seems pretty good, doesn't it? Is it really like what the news says, a living hell?"
Yang Xiaoyan asked jokingly.
"I can't be bothered to talk to you."
Xu Hui coated the fish with seasoning, hung it on the grill, and kept turning it over.
Within minutes, an enticing aroma wafted out.
"It smells so good, Xu Hui, I want to eat the whole thing!"
Li Qiuge said, drooling.
"it is good."
"Qiuge, be careful. Xiaohui put some kind of seasoning on the fish just now. What if it's some kind of drug?"
Yang Xiaoyan was suspicious and paranoid.
She wasn't like this before, but it got worse after Qiu Ge came.
Xu Hui ignored her.
After it was cooked, it was handed to Li Qiuge.
"Mom, aren't you going to eat?"
"I'm not hungry, I'm on a diet, you eat."
Yang Xiaoyan gave a wry smile.
"Qiuge, let's eat."
Xu Hui and Qiu Ge enjoyed their meal immensely.
As expected of wild fish, the flesh is tender and delicious even without seasoning.
What's more, with the seasonings added, the barbecue is even tastier than what a five-star chef would make.
Yang Xiaoyan sat there, enduring her hunger.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Noon arrived quickly.
Summers in Northeast China are also extremely hot.
Before we knew it, everyone was sweating.
"It would be great to take a shower, but unfortunately I didn't bring a swimsuit."
Li Qiuge said with anticipation.
The vast reservoir, with its rippling blue waters, allows you to bathe without worrying about being swept into the sea by the waves.
"No, Mom, I want to take a bath!"
Qiu Ge pleaded.
"Qiuge, what are you doing? You're becoming more and more unruly. Where is your ladylike demeanor?"
Yang Xiaoyan rolled her eyes.
"What's wrong? I'm not hitting anything."
Li Qiuge snorted coldly, and soon she said impatiently, "Mom, I want to go buy a swimsuit, I'll be back in a bit."
"Qiuge, stop fooling around."
"Mom, I'm not making a fuss. Look how clear the water is here; you can even see the stones at the bottom."
Qiu Ge grabbed Xu Hui's car keys and ran away.
"It's fine to wash her up; it's not easy for her to come to Northeast China."
Xu Hui said as he fished.
"Xiao Hui, how dare you say that? If you hadn't lured her here to fish, would she even know about this place? There isn't even a decent road here. Who knows if you had any dirty thoughts about it?"
Yang Xiaoyan made malicious speculations.
“Stepmother, you’re just too suspicious. I’ve always treated Qiuge like a little sister.”
"Really?"
Yang Xiaoyan didn't believe it.
“Stepmother, you should know in your heart that I have to choose between you and Qiu Ge.”
Xu Hui laid his cards on the table.
No one will do.
"It's not up to you, it's up to me. In Ivory Mountain, you are my people, and I can do whatever I want with you."
Xu Hui said.
"You're very brave."
Yang Xiaoyan walked over and, taking advantage of Xu Hui's inattention, gave him a sudden shove.
