118 Antler, the stranger who suddenly appeared(2/2)
Because you can often fish in the middle of the river during ice cave fishing, the fishing rod is not long. You can wear gloves and hold the fishing line to forcefully lift the fish.
I saw a carp that was longer than my arm and weighed at least 8 or 9 pounds, jumping on the ice.
Many people around looked over with envious expressions on their faces.
Chu stepped forward, grabbed the fish, and threw it onto the ice. The carp stopped moving after a while.
I went into the ice cave again and picked up some offal. As soon as I put the fishhook into the water, I saw a middle-aged man walking over.
Squatting next to the ice hole, he asked softly, "Comrade, do you want to change this fish?"
Chu glanced at him forward and saw that his hands were fairly fair, he was wearing old-fashioned cashmere leather boots, and he was wearing myopia glasses with plastic frames.
These days, the output of plastics around the world is extremely low, and the price is naturally very expensive.
I immediately concluded that this guy was not short of money.
However, Chu Xiangqian now not only does business in the streets, neighborhood committees, and steel rolling mills, but also just made a large deal with Gong Changqing and his group.
I don’t look down on sporadic transactions at all, and I don’t want to be caught out just because of a few dollars.
"Sorry, although I caught this fish, I caught it for a friend."
The middle-aged man shook his head regretfully, "What a pity, I haven't seen such a big carp for many years."
Chu Qianqian curled his lips and thought to himself, it's a pity for you, what does it have to do with me?
Just as I was thinking about it, the fishing rod in my hand suddenly moved.
Chu Xiangqian subconsciously reached out to grab the fishing line and lifted it up sharply.
A snakehead fish weighing five to six pounds was lifted out and landed on the ice.
The middle-aged man looked at it dumbfounded.
Secretly thinking, this guy is so lucky?
"Little comrade, how about I give you 5 pounds of food stamps in exchange for this snakehead fish?"
Chu Xiangqian cursed in his heart: Why is this man so blind?
But he said with a smile, "I'm really sorry, I'll tell you clearly, I am a fish who respects my future father-in-law, mother-in-law, and brother-in-law."
The middle-aged man's face froze. He didn't expect that this kid would come up with such a reason just to get rid of him.
But after I felt unhappy, I didn’t have the nerve to stay.
I can only sigh and leave.
What Chu Xiangqian didn't know was that when the man got on the river embankment, he happened to meet Xue Jianguo who was buying food.
"Xiao Xue, what are you doing?"
Xue Jianguo saw the person coming clearly and saluted quickly, "Uncle Cathay, why are you here?"
Qian Guotai smiled and waved his hand, "My family lives nearby, and now I have nothing to do, so I naturally wander around."
Only then did Xue Jianguo remember that the family friend in front of him had just returned from abroad for less than half a month and was on vacation.
Pointing to Chu Qianqian on the ice, he said, "My colleagues and I have nothing to do after get off work, so we came here to try our luck. We want to catch a fish or two and go back to replenish our family's health."
Qian Guotai followed Xue Jianguo's fingers and soon realized that what Xue Jianguo was talking about was the young man he had just met.
I remember Chu Xiangqian saying that the fish he caught were for his father-in-law.
He couldn't help but smile and asked, "Is this guy your sister Lanlan's blind date?"
Xue Jianguo was stunned, but said without concealing it, "My family and I both have this intention, but you also know something about Lanlan's situation.
So I plan to take this matter slowly and figure it out.
Let him and Lan Lan meet again when the opportunity is right.
Even if it fails by then, it won’t be embarrassing.
However, I did have a good chat with Xiang Qiang."
Qian Guotai smiled and nodded. The dissatisfaction that Chu Xiangqian refused to sell several times before turned into a compliment to Chu Xiangqian because of Xue Jinglan.
"That guy is indeed a nice guy. He is cautious and quick-thinking. He is indeed a good guy.
And within ten minutes, he caught a carp weighing 8 or 9 pounds and a snakehead fish weighing 5 or 6 pounds. If Lan Lan becomes friends with him in the future, at least she will not be short of food."
Xue Jianguo nodded with great joy, "Qiang Qian is really good at fishing. Last time my grandfather and grandpa went fishing with Qian Qian and caught a total of forty or fifty kilograms of fish."
Qian Guotai was surprised, "It doesn't look like luck, but that you really have the ability."
Xue Jianguo was busy showing off and praised Chu Qianqian. By the way, he also told him about killing a bear and several wild boars by himself.
Qian Guotai's eyes lit up.
But after a few seconds, he shook his head again, secretly thinking that he should forget it.
So as not to affect Xue Jinglan’s marriage.
Besides, there are many people who are better than this young man, so there is no need to choose him.
After saying hello to Xue Jianguo, Qian Guotai walked slowly away with his hands behind his back.
Xue Jianguo frowned and looked at Qian Guotai's back for a while, then walked to Chu Xiangqian with some worry.
He handed the aluminum lunch box to Chu Qianqian and couldn't help but swallow as he watched him gobble it up.
After Chu Qianqian finished a box of rice and a box of fried cabbage, he asked, "Qianqian, did a man with glasses get close to you just now?"
Chu Xiangqian felt nervous, nodded quickly and said, "Second brother, does that person have a problem?"
Xue Jianguo shook his head, "We must be our own people, but what Qian Guotai did is not necessarily a good thing for us."
When Chu Xiangqian heard this, he guessed that the person named Qian Guotai just now must have done something unusual.
