Chapter 76: Departure
“I wasn't fooling around with A-Ci. But even if we were, no one could say anything, because we're married. You should be worried about Yuwei.” Sisi said.
Li Junlu: "…" You little brat, you're deliberately poking at my heart!
The next day, before dawn,
Sisi took her tools and left for the place where she found the fish.
She dug two holes in the ground and picked out earthworms from the mud to use as bait.
Soon, she caught two big fish.
It was still early. She took off her shoes and socks and went to the edge of the shore to pick up a small bucket of snails before leaving.
She arrived at the restaurant.
The fish were frozen solid.
Old Zhao took the fish from Sisi's hand and weighed them. “They're pretty heavy. Two fish add up to seven or eight catties. Where did you catch them?”
“In the river.”
Old Zhao smiled. “Did you catch them by the reservoir? Fish this size are only found there.”
“Yes. I also picked up a half bucket of snails while I was there.”
Old Zhao looked at the wooden bucket on the ground. His eyes lit up. “This is the season when you can pick up snails. You're really trying to make fun of me. The reservoir is frozen. Even if there are snails, you wouldn't be able to reach them. Besides, the snails are all buried in the mud in winter.”
Sisi said, “I'm not here for anything else. I'm going now.”
“Okay, come back tomorrow. I'll tell you the exact information.”
“Okay.”
Old Zhao said, “Wait. Keep the snails. I'll pay you the price of the fish.” Off-season things are the best sellers.
Sisi's heart skipped a beat. She tried saying, “Two and a half yuan?”
“What else?”
“Hehe.” Sisi giggled.
The snails were five catties. She made twelve and a half yuan.
Sisi counted the money twice. “Thank you.”
“You're welcome. The fish, if I want them, I'll count today's two fish towards your price.”
“Okay.” Sisi didn't care. She carried the empty bucket and went to the family housing complex.
The house was still quiet. She boiled water, went into the bathroom to take a shower, and then went to sleep in the guest room.
She vaguely felt something tickling her face. She opened her eyes and saw the young man's cold face.
Sisi said happily, “A-Ci, when did you come?”
“Just now. Have you missed me in the few days we've been apart?”
Sisi was confused. They've been together for two days. And his glasses, why isn't he wearing them? His temperament seems to have changed too. His eyes were smiling before, but now they are cold again.
She was about to ask when she suddenly remembered what Li Yuwei and his neighbor said about him. They said he had a problem.
Could it be that his problem is temporary amnesia?
If she speaks rashly, will it stimulate him?
It's like if you wake someone up forcefully while they are sleepwalking, they might go crazy.
It's better to keep quiet.
She smiled. “Yes.”
The young man gradually moved closer, and his soft kisses fell on her.
Sisi's mind went blank, and her hands instinctively pressed against his chest. The next second, she was pressed against his head.
After a long time, he released her.
His breath was unsteady. “Wife, you're so beautiful.”
Sisi: "…" He's calling me “wife” again?
“Want to go out to watch a movie tonight? I'll send you home after the movie. Will you come?”
“I will.” Sisi readily agreed.
After that night when she didn't come back home, Li Junlu and Song Hanmei believed that she had done something with Qin Yanci.
It's better to be carefree than to abide by the rules they set.
She thought about it for a moment and then told him about the fish pond she discovered in the suburbs. “If I want to catch fish and sell them to the restaurant, you have to help me.”
Qin Yanci was interested. “Okay, let's go take a look now?”
“Now? Okay.” Sisi agreed to his request.
