Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 923 Little Sister Wu
When Wang Zhan and his companions arrived at Houhai, both banks of the lake were already crowded with people. There were many people fishing here, and it was the weekend, so people with nothing to do at home, as long as they had a fishing rod, came.

Xiao Wu looked around for a while and said frustratedly, "There are too many people here. Should we still fish here?"

Wang Zhan also realized that even if he fished here, he would not be able to catch any fish. Fortunately, he came out on a tricycle. Wang Zhan made a prompt decision and said, "Let's not fish here anymore. Let's go to the Yongding River. Although it's far, I guess there won't be many people there."

Several people also agreed, but Wang Li pointed at the man selling candied haws and asked Wang Zhan to buy some for her. Wang Zhan did not hesitate and took out the money and gave it to Wang Li. Wang Li bought five strings, one for each person.

Now, Xiao Si and Xiao Wu don’t want to ride the bike and both want to sit on the back seat. In the end, the game of rock-paper-scissors decided that Xiao Wu would ride the bike and Xiao Si would have his turn after he finished eating.

In this way, a bicycle and a tricycle went straight to Yongdingmen. After passing Yongdingmen, they rode for more than an hour before arriving at the Yongding River.

Wang Zhan was right. There were really not many people on this side of the Yongding River. The few scattered people seemed to be from the surrounding villages.

A few people found a bend in the river and stopped. There was a reed marsh ahead, which was too far to go. Wang Zhan took Xiao Si and Xiao Wu to rest for a while, then started to set up the fishing rods. Wang Li and Zhang Erya had gone somewhere to play long ago, and Wang Zhan watched them running towards the reed marsh.

From ten o'clock until one o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Zhan had already caught a bucket of fish. He stopped fishing and walked over to Xiao Si and Xiao Wu to take a look. They were both doing well and had also caught a lot of fish. Wang Zhan said, "You guys aren't hungry, what shall we eat?"

At this time, Xiao Si and Xiao Wu realized that they did not bring any food when they came in the morning. Wang Zhan said, "Or we can eat grilled fish, but there is no seasoning, or we can go back to the city."

Xiao Si thought about it and said, "Forget it. I'm not that hungry right now. Let's go back to the city. Where are those two girls? Why aren't they making any noise?"

Wang Zhan said, "I'll go look for them." After saying that, Wang Zhan ran towards the reed marsh. It was easy to find the two girls. As soon as he reached the reed marsh, he heard the two girls shouting.

When Wang Zhan saw Wang Li, Wang Li had taken off her coat and it seemed that she was wrapping something.

Wang Zhan walked over, and Wang Li opened the coat she was holding and showed it to her brother. Wow, there were about thirty or forty pheasant eggs. These two girls must have picked them up in this reed marsh for such a long time.

Wang Li's arrogant look made Wang Zhan happy, and he said, "Let's go, let's go to Xiaowu's house to see his sister. Erya, let's go."

Zhang Erya said gloomily, "I saw a lot of chickens, but I didn't catch any."

"Next time we come, I'll catch pheasants for you." Wang Zhan touched Erya's head and took the two girls out of the reed marsh.

A group of people, two cars, headed towards Xiaowu's house.

When they arrived at Xiaowu's yard, Xiaosi went to send his fish home first, and Xiaowu took Wang Zhan and his sister and Zhang Erya directly to the backyard.

Xiaowu's mother was at the door, watching the child in the cradle, picking vegetables in her hands. Xiaowu shouted, "Mom, I'm back. Look at this big bucket of fish. I'm awesome, right?"

Xiaowu's mother pouted and said, "You have that ability, and it is probably Xiao Zhan's fishing. Hey, Lili is here, come and let your godmother kiss you."

In fact, Wang Li did not recognize Xiao Wu's mother as her godmother. When Wang Lifen brought up this matter, Wang Zhan did not object. However, he did not expect that Aunt Wang from the Street Office would react strongly. She said, "We cannot agree to this matter. This needs to be reviewed by the organization. You are not unaware of the special circumstances of your parents. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, this matter will be put on hold until Wang Li is older."

The matter was left unresolved, but Wang Lifen didn't care. Whenever she saw Wang Li, she asked her to call her godmother. Wang Zhan had no choice. At this time, Wang Zhan saw the baby in the cradle, who was staring at him. Wang Zhan smiled and teased the baby for a few times. The pink baby actually smiled at Wang Zhan. Wang Zhan wanted to hug the baby, but when he thought about coming back from fishing, he ran to the front yard to wash his hands and dusted off his clothes.

When Wang Zhan and Xiao Si returned to the backyard, his sister and Zhang Erya were there, one on each side, teasing the baby.

Wang Zhan also walked over and said, "Aunt, can I hug her? By the way, have you named your sister?"

Wang Lifen smiled and said, "Why not? This is your sister. She has a nickname, Erli."

Wang Zhan knew that Xiaowu's mother was determined to be Wang Li's godmother, otherwise she would not have named the child Erli. Wang Zhan carefully picked up the child. Wang Lifen looked at Wang Zhan's skillful technique and knew that this child had taken good care of the baby.

Wang Lifen turned her head to look at Wang Li, and then fell silent, as if she was thinking about something.

Xiaowu still doesn't know how to hold a baby, and he was very envious when he saw Wang Zhan holding his sister. Wang Zhan coaxed the child while explaining to him the techniques and precautions of holding a baby.

Xiaowu and Xiaosi listened very carefully. Wang Lifen also listened to Wang Zhan's explanation and nodded from time to time.

The little girl was in Wang Zhan's arms, not crying or making a fuss. She just watched Wang Zhan talk and smiled from time to time.

At this time, Wang Li and Zhang Erya both wanted to hug the little girl, but in the end they did not dare to, mainly because they were afraid that they would not hold the child properly and would drop the child again.

In the evening, Xiao Si and Wang Zhan had dinner at Xiao Wu's house. Wang Lifen was really willing to use oil and made a dish of carp stewed with tofu. The carp was fried until both sides were golden brown, and cornmeal pancakes were put on the big iron pan.

In the evening, Xiaowu's father Shang Qing came back. When he saw Wang Zhan and his sister coming, including a little sister, he was very happy and asked Wang Zhan to have a drink with him.

Wang Meili heard it in the kitchen, but didn't care. She actually got a cup and placed it in front of Wang Zhan.

Wang Zhan seldom drinks, but today he thought, well, let's just consider it as accompanying his elder. Xiaowu was not happy with this, so he went to find two cups, one for himself and one in front of Xiaosi.

Wang Lifen originally wanted to scold Xiaowu, but when she looked at Wang Zhan, she held back and kept silent.

Xiao Wu finally poured himself half a cup and wanted to pour more, but Shang Qing's face had turned dark, so he didn't dare to. Wang Zhan and Xiao Si also poured half a cup and said they would not pour more.

The main thing was to eat the fish. Wang Lifen asked Wang Zhan what to do with the remaining fish. Wang Zhan said, "Aunt, you can do whatever you want. I won't take it back. It's a waste of effort. Besides, if I want to eat it, I'll just go fishing again."

Xiaowu's parents knew that this was the fish that Wang Zhan specially sent to them, so they didn't say much.

The dinner was a great success. After the meal, Wang Zhan took his sister and Zhang Erya away. It was already very late, and if it was any later it would be dark.
