Chapter 383

~7 min read 1,375 words

Then Wang Wang Xiaoli blinked her big eyes and asked:

"Big Brother, are you done with your work?"

Hearing this sentence from his younger sister, Wang An's head was full of black lines.

I have to say, younger sister Wang Wang Xiaoli's memory for "eating" is quite good!

Wang An remembered that his original words that day were "If we can finish our work tomorrow, we'll go the day after tomorrow."

And then Wang Wang Xiaoli kept it in her heart!

Actually, to Wang An, his younger sister is still quite sensible, because all yesterday afternoon, she didn't mention wanting to eat fish at all.

Until this moment, the whole family couldn't hold it in anymore and all laughed "Hahaha."

Wang An pinched his younger sister's little cheek and said through gritted teeth, very helplessly:

"You, every single day, why do you only know how to eat?"

Wang Wang Xiaoli laughed "giggle giggle."

The laughter of the whole family grew even louder.

After breakfast, Wang An found the ice chisel, iron shovel, large strainer, and pickaxe, threw all these things onto the sled, and then drove the sled toward Wang Li's house.

When it comes to working, the more people, the better.

Mainly because it's hard to order others around, but ordering Wang Li around is no problem.

Furthermore, Wang An's "memory" isn't bad either; he still remembered that when they were catching fish the night before last, Wang Li said he wanted to go catch fish.

The two houses aren't far apart, so in less than a minute, Wang An arrived at Wang Li's house.

Tying the sled at the gate of Wang Li's house, Wang An pushed open the gate and walked into the yard.

Seeing Wang An, the four yellow dogs immediately started wagging their tails; the state was quite affectionate, and after Wang An petted each of their heads, he walked into the house.

If you ask which family in Wang An's entire circle of relatives is most grateful to Wang An?

That is undoubtedly Wang Wang Daliang's family.

After all, when Wang Li was able to go hunting with Wang An, it was entirely because Yao Ping took the initiative to ask Wang An.

And the changes in Wang Wang Daliang's family now can also be said to be entirely because of Wang An.

So for Wang An's arrival, the couple Wang Wang Daliang and his wife treated Wang An as a guest.

The enthusiastic attitude was simply hard to accept.

Getting cigarettes, getting tea, brewing malted milk, opening canned food—they were busy with all sorts of things.

To be honest, this made Wang An feel embarrassed.

So Wang An immediately stopped the couple and said very solemnly:

"Second Uncle, Second Aunt, can you two stop being so busy? We are all one family, why are you doing all this? Is it because you don't want me to stay comfortably?"

The couple was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and then Second Aunt Yao Ping said with a dry laugh:

"It's just that you don't come often, and then..."

Before Yao Ping could finish, Wang An interrupted again:

"Alright, Second Aunt, you don't need to 'and then' anymore, it's good for us to be casual, it's not worth it, really."

After Wang An finished speaking, Wang Wang Dazhu took over:

"Right, right, Xiao An is right; coming to your own uncle's house is the same as being in your own home, it's right to be casual."

Wang An didn't dawdle anymore and said with a smile:

"I was thinking of finding Xiao Li to go catch some fish with me; it's because Wang Xiaomei and Wang Xiaoli are tired of eating meat every day and insist on eating fish."

Yao Ping also returned to normal and said with a smile: "Yeah, eating meat every day really makes you want to eat fish; I also want to eat fish."

Then Yao Ping turned her head and said to Wang Li:

"Xiao Li, hurry up and tidy up, go catch fish with your brother."

Actually, when Wang An entered the house, Wang Li had already started putting on his leg wraps.

However, he had to listen to his mother's words, so Wang Li replied and started putting on his coat and hat. Soon, Wang Li was all prepared.

When the two of them came out of Wang Li's house, they happened to run into the "Second Fool" in the Tuntun.

The Second Fool's real name is Niu Niu Dazhuang; like Niu Niu Dali and the others, he has the character "Da" in the middle, but he is about the same age as Wang An.

Actually, in this era, ordinary families have family trees, and names usually follow the family tree.

But even without a family tree, brothers or cousins, as long as they have three-character names, usually the middle character or the last character is the same.

I don't know the specific reason, but anyway, it's this habit.

And the reason Niu Niu Dazhuang became the "Second Fool" in people's mouths is just because when Niu Niu Dazhuang was young, he had a high fever and burned his brain.

Such things were very common in this era; there was no medicine for illnesses, and at most, they would drink some herbal medicine, and some would even invite a "Great Immortal" to treat the illness.

If the illness got better, it was because the "Great Immortal's" "immortal arts" were brilliant.

If the illness wasn't cured and the person died, it was because that person's lifespan was just that long.

Anyway, right or wrong, it was all the "Great Immortal's" mouth; the "Great Immortal" was never wrong.

Strangely enough, in every Tuntun, there is one or two people like the "Second Fool."

And becoming like this is also due to this or that reason.

In short, this matter just makes people feel quite outrageous!

Niu Niu Dazhuang can be called the "Second Fool," so his IQ is definitely not high, but Niu Niu Dazhuang is never annoying.

Because in reality, he isn't stupid; he just has a low IQ or a slow reaction.

And at this time, Niu Niu Dazhuang was standing next to Wang An's sled.

Seeing Wang An and Wang Li come out, Niu Niu Dazhuang immediately said like a child:

"Are you going to catch fish? Can I go too?"

To be honest, Wang An is currently short of people to chisel ice, but taking Niu Niu Dazhuang along is truly a bit suspicious of bullying a fool.

Just as Wang An was pondering, he heard Niu Niu Dazhuang continue:

"I can work, just take me with you, okay?"

Seeing Wang An's dilemma, Wang Li said:

"Fourth Brother, why don't we take him along? Just give him a share of the fish when the time comes; his grandfather knows, and he definitely won't say anything."

That's right, in Niu Niu Dazhuang's family, there is only his grandfather; Niu Niu Dazhuang's grandmother has been gone for more than ten years.

As for Niu Niu Dazhuang's parents, no one knows if they were lost or ran away; anyway, once the two of them went into the mountains, they never came out again.

Hearing Wang Li's words, Wang An nodded and said to Niu Niu Dazhuang:

"I can take you, but you must be obedient, otherwise I'll just leave you there and ignore you."

Hearing this, Niu Niu Dazhuang said very confidently: "I'm obedient, and I can find my way home."

Hearing this, Wang An nodded with a smile and said: "Alright then, get on."

After Niu Niu Dazhuang heard this, he cheered like a child.

To be honest, a 20-something-year-old young man acting like a child looks quite awkward.

After Wang Li and Niu Niu Dazhuang sat steady, Wang An drove the sled toward the river closest to the Tuntun.

Finding a backwater bend, Wang An stopped the big stallion.

After feeding the big stallion some grass, the three of them started chiseling ice holes on the ice not far from the sled.

Wang An discovered that when working, you couldn't tell Niu Niu Dazhuang had a low IQ at all; he was pushing that ice chisel quite well.
