Cao Shujie had not driven for ten minutes and was running on the road to the county seat. Mengmeng couldn't sit still. She lay on her mother and looked out: "Dad, why aren't you here yet?"
This is already the fourth time Mengmeng asked after getting in the car.
Ever since she left home, she kept asking questions, which annoyed Cheng Xiaolin, but she still had to say to her in a gentle voice: "We have just started walking, don't worry, I will take you there when we get there."
Come on, let your dad buy his own fishing net."
"Okay!" Mengmeng heard what she wanted to hear, and she was indeed honest.
But there was only three minutes of silence, and she took off her shoes again and supported her mother to stand on the back seat.
At this time, Cheng Xiaolin really didn't dare to let her do this, and hugged her quickly: "Mengmeng, if you make trouble again, I will send you home, and your father and I will go to the county town to play."
"No!" Mengmeng was unconvinced, pouting and staring at her mother, not afraid of her at all.
Cheng Xiaolin had a headache. She couldn't understand. Good people don't imitate bad people. How could their daughter inherit her temper perfectly?
Laughing and joking along the way, the journey was no longer monotonous, and time seemed to fly by. Before we knew it, this LaCrosse with a Beijing license plate drove into Pingyuan County.
Mengmeng looked up at the shopping mall and buildings outside the car window, and she shouted happily: "Mom, look, we're here."
"Yes, we're here, Mengmeng, can you please sit still?" Cheng Xiaolin said to her with a straight face: "If your dad brakes suddenly, you will fly out."
"Yeah!" Mengmeng nodded obediently.
Cao Shujie drove the mother and daughter to the entrance of the mall. Looking at a new bumper car at the entrance of the mall, he said to them: "You guys go and ride the bumper cars. I will buy the fishing nets. I will come to you after I finish the shopping."
"Oh!" Mengmeng nodded and gestured with her ears: "Dad, go ahead. If you need something, call me."
Cheng Xiaolin took Mengmeng out of the car, and Cao Shujie watched them go talk to the owner of the bumper car and ask about the price. He smiled and restarted the car, but suddenly he didn't know where to buy it.
No choice, I have to send him a small phone call to inquire.
"Have you come to the county seat?" Cao Zhen reacted immediately after receiving the call.
Cao Shujie nodded: "Well, as usual, water will be released in the upper reaches of the Yellow River at the end of June and beginning of July. I'm thinking about buying a good fishing net in advance and catching more fish then."
When Cao Zhen heard what he said, he directly despised him: "Shujie, after so many years, are your skills still good?"
"Speaking of which, I didn't even remember it if you didn't remind me. How about I go back at the end of the month?" Cao Zhen was moved.
When they were young, they went fishing and catching shrimps in the Yellow River together, and they were often beaten for doing so.
I still remember clearly that after returning home, his father whipped him with a whip, but it didn't work, and he went again after a while.
As he grew up, he stopped doing this. Now when he heard Cao Shujie say that he was going to catch fish in the Yellow River, Chang Zhen also wanted to go back.
Cao Shujie said to him: "Come back. When the time comes, we will work together and we will be basically invincible in Caojiazhuang."
"Ask them if they have time to come back. We can get together at home." Cao Shujie suggested.
Cao Zhen also agreed. He thought this was a good idea.
He also told Cao Shujie which street and location had a shop specializing in selling fishing gear, but Cao Zhen had not been exposed to these for many years, and he was really not familiar with the bosses who sold fishing gear.
He also thought about coming over and taking Cao Shujie around with him, but Cao Shujie didn't agree: "You hurry up and get busy. I can just go over and take a look at such a small thing."
"Okay, I'm quite lively here. If you stay here tonight, we can get together again," Cao Zhen said.
But Cao Shujie also said: "I can't do it today. I told my mother before I came here that I must go back in the evening."
"Then we will meet again in a few days when we return home at the end of the month. Shujie, you are now a big landowner in the village. Then you will be rich and treat him well." Cao Zhen would not be polite to him.
Cao Shujie laughed and said, "No problem, we can make whatever you want to eat."
"It's a hot day, let's make some barbecue and drink a beer. It will be so relaxing." Cao Zhen shouted.
Thinking about that picture makes me feel beautiful.
Cao Shujie agreed immediately.
Cao Shujie followed Cao Zhen's instructions and drove to Guangming Street. He walked south along the intersection for about 300 meters and saw the first shop selling fishing gear.
Spotting an empty parking space, he quickly drove over and parked the car. Cao Shujie walked into the store and inquired about 4 stores before deciding to buy two high-quality tickets from a store called 'Happy Good Fishing'.
I also bought a small poke net for Mengmeng to play with.
Thinking that he could go out fishing to refresh his mood when he had nothing to do in the future, he bought two more pairs of fishing tackle!
Ask the shop owner to prepare all kinds of things for him!
I have no choice, my home is close to the Yellow River, so I have this convenience, so let’s play!
The purchase was a pleasure, but that was not the case when he paid. He thought the few items were ordinary, but he knew they were not cheap. All in all, they cost more than 2,000.
The net is really not expensive, mainly the two fishing rods are not cheap.
After returning to the entrance of the shopping mall with a full load of harvest, Cao Shujie stopped the car and saw his wife and children still playing with the bumper cars. He could also hear the cheerful laughter of his daughter beside him.
At this time, there were not many people playing bumper cars inside, but there were quite a few children watching around. This thing was not cheap, and not many parents were willing to let them play with it.
"Cute!" Cao Shujie waved to his daughter, telling her to look at him, and took a few photos of her with a digital camera.
"Mom, look, it's dad." Mengmeng proudly told her mother.
Cheng Xiaolin had seen her husband a long time ago and said to Mengmeng: "Then let's go and find daddy to play something else."
But Mengmeng disagreed. She pointed to the unmanned bumper car next to her and shouted, "Daddy can play too."
"..."
Cheng Xiaolin finally called her husband over and played with Mengmeng for 20 minutes. Only then did Mengmeng have enough fun.
"Have you finished buying the fishing nets?" Cheng Xiaolin asked him.
Cao Shujie nodded: "I've bought them all, and I'll buy them for you too. Let's go to the Yellow River to have a look at the end of the month."
"Yeah!" Cheng Xiaolin nodded and began to look forward to it after what her husband said.
"It's too hot outside, let's go to the mall to cool down." Cheng Xiaolin couldn't stand it anymore. She felt that her clothes were sticking to her skin, which was very uncomfortable.
The family of three played in the county town until the afternoon. The temperature was getting higher and higher, and Mengmeng couldn't cheer up anymore. Then they returned with the purchased trophies.
On the way back, I opened the car window, and the whistling wind came in to form convection, and I felt cool instantly.
As the wind blew, Mengmeng became active again.
She shouted: "Dad, go back and catch fish."
"Well, okay, as long as you obey, dad will take you there." Cao Shujie said with a smile.
