Chapter 1675: Interaction Among the Four of Father and Sons
With the aid of homemade bait, the fish bit quickly; after catching the fourth one, she stopped.
She took out the net bag from her pocket, put three fish inside, and gave the remaining slightly smaller one directly to the man who had just helped her scoop up the fish: "Big Brother, this fish is for you. Thank you for your help just now."
That man didn't expect such good fortune; he had helped others scoop up fish many times before, yet no one had ever given him a fish. For a moment, he felt somewhat embarrassed: "How can I accept this?"
Liu Chuxue just smiled faintly: "I am not fond of owing favors. Take it."
Saying this, she placed the fish directly into his bucket.
Afterwards, Liu Chuxue picked up her fishing gear and net bag, turned, and left.
As soon as she was gone, someone behind her teased the man who had received the fish: "Not bad, Old Qian. After helping people so many times, you finally got a return. We won't call you stupid anymore."
After all, that fish weighed at least three jin, and everyone was very envious.
Someone joked with a laugh: "If I had known, I would have gone up to help too."
Liu Chuxue carried the fish until she reached a sparsely populated area before stopping. She found a corner to confirm the surroundings were safe, hid her fishing gear in a secluded spot and stored it in her space, then quickly left with the net bag in hand.
Instead of going to her mother-in-law's first, she returned to her own Liu Xiaoyuan: "Auntie Wei, I brought fish back. I saw you bought tofu this morning; we can stew the fish with it."
Auntie Wei turned and saw the fish hanging from her hand: "This fish is truly fresh. Where did you get it?"
Liu Chuxue took one fish out of the net bag, placed the rest along with the net bag into the water, and casually made up a story: "I borrowed someone's fishing rod and caught it at Shichahai."
She went to the kitchen and brought out a knife: "I'll clean the fish and start stewing it first. I won't take the triplets over tonight; it's hard to take care of them alone."
Auntie Wei smiled, looking at the three little ones coming out of the room, and whispered: "I'm afraid they heard your words."
Sure enough, Fu Bao ran over first: "Mom, Mom, where are you going?"
Le Bao also ran over: "Mommy, go. Le Bao go."
Only Kang Bao said nothing, but kept staring at Liu Chuxue; the meaning was unmistakable.
Liu Chuxue squatted down: "Babies, will you wait for Mommy at home and be good?"
The three little ones answered in unison: "No."
Just as she was worrying about how to explain it to them, she heard Fu Yan Cheng's voice come from inside: "Then let's all go together."
The three little ones heard Fu Yan Cheng's voice and all rushed over: "Daddy, carry us."
Fu Yan Cheng put down the things he was carrying, squatted down, spread his arms, and caught the three little ones: "Did you miss Daddy?"
Saying this, he rubbed his stubble against their faces, though only as a gesture, afraid his stubble would prick their little faces: "Say it quickly, did you miss Daddy? Otherwise, I'll use my beard to prick your little faces."
Le Bao surrendered first: "Missed, missed Daddy, want to fly high."
Fu Yan Cheng kissed his daughter on the cheek: "I knew it. My daughter must have missed me. I even sneezed this afternoon."
Hearing this, Le Bao looked up and laughed very happily, clapping her little hands: "Yes, it was Le Bao who missed Daddy."
Fu Bao also reached out to hug Fu Yan Cheng's neck: "I missed you too."
Kang Bao just leaned against Fu Yan Cheng's arm, watching his older brother and sister interact with Daddy.
Fu Yan Cheng kissed his youngest son on the forehead: "What about our Kang Bao? Did you miss Daddy too?"
Kang Bao nodded, answering very simply: "Missed."
Fu Yan Cheng pulled the three children into his embrace and lifted them all up: "I missed you too."
Now all three children laughed. Fu Yan Cheng held them and spun around in the yard; the four of them, father and sons, laughed and played together in a tangle.
