Chapter 708 Betting with Lao Xu
After seeing Xu Dongliang and the man being handcuffed and taken away by the police.
Gao Yan also left quietly.
When no one was paying attention, he took the bicycle out of the mustard space, straddled the bicycle, and went straight to the courtyard while humming a little tune.
"Weiguo is off work!"
"Yes, Uncle Sun, have you eaten?"
"Your aunt is doing it, hurry up!"
"Then I'm back!"
While greeting Sun Yugui, the front yard manager, Gao Yan pushed his bicycle into the middle yard.
Park your bike.
Before he could push the door open, the door opened by itself.
"Sister, my brother-in-law is back!"
"Husband, you are back!"
Li Mengyao put down her work and walked out of the bedroom: "Are you hungry? I'll cook now?"
"No rush, just wait!"
Gao Yan, who was hunting today, came back relatively early. Although he was delayed for some time on the road, it was not yet five o'clock.
"Brother-in-law, wash your face!"
Li Mengya came over with hot water, twisted up the hot towel and handed it to Gao Yan.
Situations like this happen almost every day, but Gao Yan doesn't feel boring at all. Instead, he feels that this is the real life.
After picking up the hot towel and wiping his face and hands, Gao Yan took out two candies from his pocket and handed them to Li Mengya.
"Thank you, brother-in-law!"
"You eat one too!"
Gao Yan peeled off the candy wrapper and put a candy into Li Mengyao's mouth.
"Thank you husband!"
Li Mengyao leaned in Gao Yan's arms and listened to the radio for a while, then got up and went to the kitchen to make dinner.
Gao Yan picked up a book and read it.
He specially borrowed these from the library, and they were all books on lyrics and composition.
night.
Gao Yan found that Li Mengyao was particularly proactive.
"What's wrong, my wife, are you stimulated?" Afterwards, Gao Yan hugged her smooth body and asked in his ear.
"Husband, I want to conceive a child for you!"
Li Mengyao's breath was uneven.
"I guess I can't get pregnant!" Gao Yan thought for a while and said.
"Why?"
Li Mengyao looked a little panicked.
In order to appease Li Mengyao, Gao Yan decided to make up a lie: "Probably when I was ten years old, I met a fortune teller. This fortune teller was very accurate. He said that I would lose my mother when I was thirteen years old. When I lost my father, it all came true!”
Although there is talk of eradicating feudal superstition these days, many people still believe in fortune telling.
In fact, let alone now, even in the main world, there are still many people who believe in fortune telling.
Therefore, Li Mengyao still trusted Gao Yan's words.
I heard Gao Yan continue: "The fortune teller also said that I can only marry a wife when I am 21 years old. In fact, before you, many matchmakers introduced me to blind dates, but I didn't like any of them until I met I fell in love with you at first sight, so the fortune teller was right again!"
"Wow, it's amazing. It seems that the fortune teller is an expert!"
Li Mengyao was also attracted by what Gao Yan said: "Did that fortune teller say anything else?"
"Of course!"
Gao Yan nodded: "The fortune teller also said that within five years of marriage, I will not be able to have offspring. Only after five years can my wife be pregnant with a child!"
"Husband, you didn't say that on purpose to comfort me, right?" Li Mengyao said suspiciously.
It seems that my wife is not so easy to fool.
Gao Yan scraped the bridge of her nose and chuckled: "Silly wife, when have I ever lied to you?"
"Yes!"
"So, you don't have to feel any psychological pressure. In five years, we will have a child!"
"I know hubby!"
Li Mengyao also breathed a sigh of relief. These days, the inheritance of the family line is extremely important. If his wife cannot give birth, she is guilty and cannot hold her head up at home or outside.
The next morning.
Gao Yan took his sister-in-law to Shichahai for fishing.
As for Li Mengyao, she stayed at home and learned how to use a sewing machine from Aunt Chen.
"The Fishing King is here!"
With the arrival of Gao Yan.
The fishermen nearby became excited.
The day before yesterday, Gao Yan caught two giant fish and caused quite a stir. After the incident spread, he was respected as the King of Fishing by everyone.
"Good boy, I haven't seen you for a while, and you have become the king of fishing!"
At this time, Lao Xu came over and said with a smile.
"It's Lao Xu. Today is not the weekend. Are you going out fishing during working hours?"
Gao Yan deliberately joked.
"How come you can come, but I can't?"
Lao Xu said angrily.
While teasing Lao Xu, Gao Yan's hand movements were not slow and he dug an ice hole in two or five strokes.
"You're good at this, kid!"
"Would you like to chisel one for you?"
"Okay, just dig one near here!"
"I advise you not to!"
"Why?" Lao Xu asked puzzledly.
"I'm afraid that you will only focus on watching me deliver the goods later and have no intention of fishing!" Gao Yan said with a smile.
"You are so confident. Don't think that when people call you Fishing King, you really are Fishing King!" Lao Xu said unconvinced.
"How about we make a bet!"
Gao Yan said.
"How do you want to bet?" Lao Xu didn't give up.
"In this way, if I catch two more giant fish today, I will win, otherwise I will lose!"
Lao Xu said: "We have to set a time limit!"
"Then it'll be one hour. Is it a bet? If I win, you will give me a place as a regular worker. If I lose, I will also agree to a condition!"
"Okay, it's a deal!"
"Then start!"
Gao Yan put earthworms on the fishhook and threw them into the ice cave.
Five minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
Not to mention giant fish, even ordinary fish didn't bite the hook.
"Xiao Gao, it seems that you are going to lose this bet today!" Old Xu said with a smile. He had already decided in his heart that after this kid loses, he will be transferred to the Metallurgical Department. Such a talent will not be allowed to work. Such a shame in the rolling mill.
"It's only been five minutes, why are you so anxious? Maybe the giant thing is on its way!"
Upon hearing this, Lao Xu was happy.
"Okay, then I'll wait!"
Another two minutes passed, and Gao Yan felt that the heat was almost there.
He began to use his mental power to capture a giant object, and then put the fishhook into the opponent's mouth.
"Coming!"
Gao Yan pretended to be refreshed and pulled the fishing rod fiercely.
Immediately, a giant thing weighing more than thirty kilograms was pulled out of the ice cave by him!
"I'll go, it turns out that the fishing king has caught another giant fish!"
When people around him saw this scene, they all ran to watch the fun. Lao Xu's expression froze slightly. He didn't expect that this kid really caught a giant fish, but luckily, the bet was two giant fish, and he still caught it. If you don’t believe it, this kid is so lucky to catch one!
But Lao Xu was destined to be disappointed.
Less than ten minutes after the first giant hook was hooked.
Gao Yan pulled up an even bigger beast in front of everyone, probably weighing no less than 40 kilograms.
"How is Lao Xu?"
Gao Yan said with a smile.
Seeing the smile on Gao Yan's face, Lao Xu immediately understood that he had been fooled by this kid, but he was not someone who couldn't afford to lose: "Okay, I lose, but you have to sell me this fish? "
"You are the leader, I can't let you make mistakes. This fish is your 40 yuan, but you have to write me a receipt!"
"Okay, forty is forty!"
Lao Xu was more straightforward and spent forty yuan to win this giant thing!
And another one.
Gao Yan sold it to another fishing guy for 35 yuan.
"Xiao Gao, tell me, what job do you want?"
"I don't want it, I want it for my wife. Just find something easier. It doesn't matter how much the salary is!" Gao Yan said.
"Okay, wait for my news, and I'll get it done for you in two days at most!"
"Thanks then!"
In the next half hour, Gao Yan caught two more fish.
However, he seemed to have exhausted his luck and only caught two crucian carp weighing less than a pound, so he simply closed the stall and left.
