Chapter 122: Family, Jiang Ye, this stinking brat, treats him as family
Cadre Convalescent Home—
Lu Lao Zu ate breakfast in the canteen: fish slice porridge, side dishes made of wakame, two eggs, eating until full.
When eating, he could also chat with the staff, very comfortable.
"Your body is really good, what is the secret?"
"Sigh, maybe it's because happy events make people spirited; my grandson and granddaughter are both married, seeing them settle down, I'm happy in my heart, naturally eating well and sleeping well..."
"So that's it, no wonder every time I see you, you are radiant..."
"Don't say it, I have an appointment to go fishing, I have to go back to the room to get the fishing rod and small wooden stool."
"Mm mm, you're busy, wish you a full return~"
"Thank you for your auspicious words."
Lu Lao Zu was praised and felt beautiful, humming a little tune, slowly returning to the room to get tools.
Although Section Commander Duan had poor luck, he could talk, and his praise for him didn't repeat.
The wine his granddaughter brewed for him should be ready to drink; he'll take a bottle later, and when they are fishing by the sea, they'll bring goods, and while grilling fish, they'll have a little drink, that is truly comfortable.
On this side, Section Commander Duan was also busy dealing with documents.
However, this leader, who was known for being diligent in the past, was clearly absent-minded today.
So nervous, he had an appointment to go fishing with Old Brother Lu today; if he was "air-force" again today, he would really thank him.
"Section Commander, the car is ready."
The communications soldier came to report; it was rare for the leader to put down public affairs and have a hobby, making friends with like-minded people.
He, as a communications soldier, must do a good job in logistics, promote the long-lasting friendship between the two, so that the leader wouldn't be lonely and bored.
"Good."
Section Commander Duan nodded, put down his fountain pen, rubbed his eyebrows, feeling uneasy inside, wishing not to be "air-force" today, at least catch a fish!
On the reef suitable for fishing by the sea, Lu Lao Zu occupied a flat position.
It wasn't that he was bragging, it was indeed that his physical fitness had improved a lot since he came to the Sea Island, much better than when he was in the Capital!
Now he didn't pant when walking, didn't suffer from insomnia at night, his legs didn't cramp, he ate well, and even climbing up and down the reef was easy.
On the contrary, Little Brother Duan still needed the communications soldier to support him, otherwise he was afraid of slipping.
"Old Brother Lu, you brought wine? Is this, dry red or wine?"
Section Commander Duan subconsciously licked his lips, wanting to drink.
Except for festivals, there was no wine in the military canteen.
He had special wine tickets, but he couldn't take the lead in drinking, it would cause trouble.
"This is wine brewed by my granddaughter; it's been over a month, I thought we would make do with a barbecue by the sea at noon when we fish, and drink it to see; if it's good, I'll send you a bottle another day."
Lu Lao Zu wasn't stingy either; if there was something good, he was willing to give Little Brother Duan a share.
After all, he picked up his grandson-in-law and raised his grandson-in-law well.
Loving the house and its crow, he should be better to Little Brother Duan.
"Hey, thanks Old Brother Lu."
Could Section Commander Duan refuse?
Completely unable to resist, he wanted it, of course he wanted it!
And he didn't know if it was a turn of luck, but Section Commander Duan caught two small yellow croakers the length of a palm next.
Unprecedented, the first time!
Lu Lao Zu couldn't help but look sideways, giving the other party a thumbs up:
"Little Brother Duan, your luck today is not bad."
"Where, where, I didn't expect to catch it myself..."
Section Commander Duan said modestly, tears streaming down his face inside; it wasn't easy, finally not "air-force"!
The communications soldier had a good eye, and had already built a firewood pile in the sand not far away, ready to grill fish at any time.
Not only that, he also used his military knife to pick some large oysters on the nearby reef; he didn't see any large sea urchins, so he gave up.
There were also some local fellow villagers gathering seafood nearby, both adults and children.
The sea breeze blew gently, and the coconut trees by the sea made a rustling sound.
The warm sun overhead shone on his body, making him sleepy.
Lu Lao Zu re-baited the hook and cast it out.
Looking at the scene of the sea being calm and the river being clear, he couldn't help but sigh that it was truly a good season and a good scene now.
"I say Old Brother Lu, what is the secret to fishing? Why am I always 'air-force', rarely able to catch fish?"
Section Commander Duan, while happy, discovered the point.
This time, he was using Old Brother Lu's bait.
Could it be that the secret was in the bait?
"This, there is a saying, you look carefully at my bait, I added good things to it."
Lu Lao Zu smiled mysteriously, opened his bait jar, and told the story of the good ingredients inside.
Section Commander Duan listened carefully, and after listening, he suddenly realized; no wonder, he said, why could he catch fish today!
It turns out that just this bait really had so many ways!
At 4:00 PM, Grandfather and Section Commander Duan returned with a full load.
"Manman, look at the good things I caught."
Shen Man hadn't fully woken up, and asked subconsciously:
"Grandfather, did you catch a large yellow croaker?"
"Not a large yellow croaker, it's black sea bream, local fellow villagers say black sea bream is very common..."
Lu Lao Zu explained, this kind of fish looked strange and only weighed three or four catties.
Hearing the fellow villagers who gathered seafood say that using this fish to bait the nest was the best.
It was just that he hadn't tasted this fish himself, so he wouldn't bait the nest, bring it to his grandson-in-law's house first, and after eating it, next time, next time he caught it, he would try baiting the nest and catching other seafood!
Shen Man looked at the fish in the bucket and recognized it was a fish she had eaten, echoing:
"Black sea bream, when I first came to the Sea Island, brother Jiang Ye took me to the canteen to eat it, the meat quality is quite delicious."
After this pair of grandfather and granddaughter finished chatting, Section Commander Duan excitedly brought his plastic bucket in front of Shen Man, claiming credit:
"Manman, look at the fish on my side, I didn't 'air-force' today, I caught more than ten small yellow croakers!"
Small yellow croaker?
Shen Man's eyes lit up, Section Commander Duan's luck had turned around!
Jiang Ye was wearing a military green vest, with a piece of cloth modified into an apron around his waist, heard the movement, and walked out of the kitchen with a rice-washing basin, his eyelids sweeping over Section Commander Duan, praising:
"Not bad, enough to fry a plate. Tomorrow, brother-in-law and I will be leaving home for a while, let's eat dinner together as a family."
"Hehe, good, family, eat together."
Section Commander Duan felt warm in his heart; family, Jiang Ye, this stinking brat, treats him as family.
"Today I could catch fish, thanks to Old Brother Lu's bait..."
While being modest, he didn't forget to praise Lu Lao Zu.
It could be seen that he was really in a good mood today!
Speaking of which, it was all bitter tears; you know how many years it had been, the first time he went fishing and wasn't "air-force"!
If he could take a picture, he would love to take a picture, announce it to everyone he knew, and let everyone know that he, Duan Wujiu, had succeeded!
Shen Man covered her mouth and laughed; Section Commander Duan was the same as her grandfather, with a big contrast, cold and ruthless to the outside, decisive in killing, "don't touch me."
To the inside, like a child, an old urchin temperament... ===== CHAPTER 123 =====
