Chapter 139 It's still because of her high looks.
'The scenery is beautiful!'
"Wow, compared to your dad, I have to say you inherited your grandpa's good looks!"
This made Yu Huan laugh out loud, and she immediately clicked on the photo.
The background is in a photography studio.
White curtains, dazzling lights.
Lin Yourong in the photo caught his eye even more.
She wore a black suit, paired with a white high-waisted skirt and Martin boots, her long hair cascading over her shoulders like a waterfall, and her face adorned with metallic smoky makeup.
She exudes a sweet and spicy androgynous style, as if she stepped out of a fashion magazine cover.
Suck!
Yu Huan stared intently, resisting the urge to lick the screen, and quickly typed out two message bubbles:
'Whose cool girl is this?'
"Oh, it's mine. That's alright then!"
He received three words from Lin Yourong shortly afterward:
'Is it pretty?'
"Beautiful, your temperament is absolutely stunning!" Yu Huan didn't hesitate and didn't hold back her praise; she just went ahead and complimented her.
He thought for a moment, then typed and sent another message: 'By the way, you hardly ever dress up when you're with me. The only time you dressed up was once, when we were in Shanghai!'
Lin Yourong seemed to have some free time right now, and replied instantly:
'From the very first time we met, I didn't wear makeup, and I've never liked wearing makeup growing up. When I'm with you, I'm always my most authentic self!'
Yu Huan was somewhat surprised; she really hadn't expected her to say that.
My fingertips paused on the nine-square grid, and I hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to type in reply.
Have you never liked wearing makeup since you were a child?
Combined with the fact that she had heard that she used to have a boyish haircut in high school and that girls chased after her and wrote her love letters.
Yu Huan commented: "She's just too good-looking."
The advantage of not wearing makeup is that I can pinch her cheeks and nibble on her cheeks without any worries, and I won't get powder or lipstick marks on her.
He was just wondering whether to compliment her on how beautiful she looked with or without makeup when Lin Yourong sent him another message:
"But if you like this outfit, I'll wear it for you next time!"
Seeing this, Yu Huan grinned: "No need, just do whatever makes you comfortable!"
Stop staring at your phone and grinning like an idiot, you've got a fish!
In a flash.
Hearing the old man's shouts, Yu Huan hurriedly looked up and found that all the floats had been pulled into the water by the fish and disappeared; they had all gone black...
After Yu Huan scooped the fish ashore, the basket was already full, so he could only casually throw it on the ground a little distance from the shore.
Seeing this, the old man immediately started reeling in his rod.
The two quickly tidied up.
Yu Huan carried a fish basket in one hand and a large carp in the other.
The old man was carrying a fishing gear bag.
The two strolled slowly to the electric scooter, concluding their fishing trip for the day.
On the quiet riverbank, the water ripples with golden light.
The small stool left behind by the burly man with stubble did not become any physical evidence; instead, it was deliberately left behind, lying quietly on the muddy ground.
Yu Huan gripped the handlebars tightly as he rode along the deserted asphalt road. In the distance, a half-red sun appeared before him, making it impossible to distinguish whether it was dusk or dawn.
Along the way, there were few vehicles and the roads were clear. Yu Huan twisted the accelerator to the floor, but the electric scooter still felt very slow, as if time had become exceptionally long at that moment.
The cigarette dangling from Old Master Yu's lips was mostly sucked away by the wind. He suddenly asked, "You seemed to be having such a good time chatting earlier. What did my granddaughter-in-law say about me?"
His tone carried a hint of curiosity and anticipation.
Yu Huan opened her mouth, letting in the cool air as she said, "She said I inherited your excellent genes."
"Heh~" Old Master Yu waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care, but a smile appeared on his face.
Yu Huan glanced at the old man's expression in the rearview mirror and knew that he had hit the nail on the head, which pleased him greatly.
He shook his head, both amused and exasperated.
I walked day by day, and after half an hour, I finally arrived home.
As Yu Huan unloaded the goods from the foot pedal, he greeted his third aunt and cousin Yu Yaowen, who were coming to greet him warmly.
Looking at the basket full of fish, Auntie San exclaimed in amazement: "Wow! You caught so many fish? These carp must weigh over ten pounds!"
Yu Huan could tell from her naive and fussy attitude that this scheming third aunt probably had something on her mind, so she smiled and said, "Not even seven jin."
His gaze shifted to a girl with braided hair standing to the side.
He seemed quite close to Yu Yaowen, but he felt a bit unfamiliar with him; he probably wasn't from the neighborhood.
Teacher Wu noticed his confusion and quickly introduced, "This is Yaowen's girlfriend, her name is Ashu."
"Oh?" The last syllable was drawn out.
Yu Huan smiled brightly and said to Ashu, "Nice to meet you, Ashu!" "Hello!" Ashu nodded emphatically in response.
Seeing him carry the fish basket into the house and head straight for the backyard, she couldn't help but tug at Yu Yaowen's sleeve and whisper, "Your cousin is so handsome! Seriously, he has the air of a movie star!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Yaowen suddenly felt a pang of jealousy and pondered, "He's just a bit introverted and doesn't like to talk to people."
"Huh?" Ashu was a little surprised: "He's introverted? I thought he was quite cheerful!"
Teacher Wu, who was not far away, looked at Third Sister-in-law and said with a smile, "Third Sister-in-law, why don't you take a few fish home?"
Although Third Sister-in-law was quite tempted, she said, "I bought a grass carp at noon, but I only ate half of it."
"These are wild crucian carp that I caught from the river." Teacher Wu waved his hand: "Take some home."
After a few perfunctory words of politeness, Third Sister-in-law nodded and said, "Xiao Wu, thank you very much."
The grandfather and grandson carried the fish, one after the other, into the yard.
Yu Huan moved an extra-large plastic basin out of the storage room and placed it under the tap to collect water.
It's the kind of bathtub we used to use.
The old man poured the basket full of crucian carp into a basin.
Osaka crucian carp are very resilient and most of them are still alive. Amidst the splashing water, they wriggle around in the basin with a series of "splashing" tail flicks.
After Teacher Wu led Third Sister-in-law over, she turned around and went to the kitchen to get a large, semi-transparent plastic bag for her: "Third Sister-in-law, you can choose whatever you like."
"How embarrassing!"
The third sister-in-law waved her hand briefly, but immediately took the plastic bag, squatted down, and began picking and choosing from the oversized plastic basin with a smile.
His eyes kept glancing at the large crucian carp.
The old man, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, silently watched her turn the fish over and over, selecting four of the largest crucian carp, the smallest of which weighed a pound, and still reaching out to scoop them up.
Amidst the swirling smoke, the old man's lips curled into a slight smile as he softly recited a rhyme: "A crucian carp weighing less than a pound is more valuable than gold!"
Yu Huan had just bent down to turn off the tap when he heard the sound and straightened up, laughing as he replied, "A carp weighing over a pound is as good as ginseng!"
These two sayings are old folk sayings. As the name suggests, they mean that wild crucian carp weighing over 500 grams are very rare.
Of course, the Osaka crucian carp, which has encroached on the habitat of native crucian carp, grows a little faster.
However, wild Osaka crucian carp need to grow for several years to weigh over 100 kilograms.
Artificially hybridized crucian carp grow very fast, typically gaining two to three kilograms a year. However, these hybrid crucian carp are simply inhumane and taste terrible.
The old man and the young man sang in perfect harmony, their coordination was impeccable.
Whether it was intentional or just a casual joke between the grandfather and grandson, the third sister-in-law listened without making a sound. Finally, she bent down and casually scooped up a crucian carp, putting it into her bag.
Then he stood up and said to Teacher Wu, "Little Wu, I'll just pick a few at random and go!"
"It's alright, we're all family." Teacher Wu waved his hand with a smile, not taking it to heart, and saw his third sister-in-law to the door.
Yu Huan watched the two sisters-in-law leave and couldn't help but scratch her head.
My eldest uncle is a professor at Tancheng University, and he's away from home most of the year. There's a reason why my father only wants to live with his youngest son.
Although Teacher Wu might complain a bit behind closed doors, at least she wouldn't be like those third aunts, who only do superficial things, fight for every little benefit, and even argue about who gets the benefit first.
Teacher Wu, standing outside the door, looked at Yu Yaowen, who seemed rather uninterested in talking, and thought to himself that the two brothers probably hadn't seen each other for months. Why weren't they chatting away with their arms around each other?
He's a guy who's in a relationship; his mind is completely focused on his girlfriend.
Little did she know that Yu Yaowen felt a little uncomfortable because Ah Shu was praising Yu Huan's handsomeness with a lovestruck expression, and he suddenly felt unwell.
My cousin Yu Huan is back. He originally wanted to stay here a bit longer and maybe even get a free meal, but he immediately lost interest. He took Ah Shu and said goodbye to Teacher Wu. After saying that, he picked up his bags and followed his third sister-in-law around with his yo-yo.
"How come she picked all the big ones?" Old Yu stood at the door with his hands on his hips, muttering to himself.
"The old man goes out fishing all the time, do we need these?" Teacher Wu saw things very clearly. It's not about scarcity but fairness. If they don't share some fish with the third sister-in-law, she might gossip and criticize them behind their backs.
He nudged Old Yu's shoulder and said, "What are you still standing here for? Hurry up and go kill the fish!"
Upon hearing this, Lao Yu, who could easily dominate the entire school with his Conqueror's Haki, obediently rolled up his sleeves and turned to go to the backyard to kill fish.
Yu Huan brushed past him, just about to bring in the fishing gear bag that was outside the door.
Suddenly noticing the water stains under the car, its surface gleaming brightly in the setting sun, I couldn't help but ask Mr. Wu at the door, "Dad, did you wash my car?"
"We washed it together; he carried the water, and I wiped the car!" Teacher Wu subconsciously took credit.
Suddenly remembering what Yu Yaowen had said earlier, she turned her head, looked at Yu Huan's expression, pursed her lips, and said cautiously, "But we used dish soap. At first, we didn't know that we couldn't use dish soap. We heard that it would damage the car paint."
After all, it's a luxury car worth over 500,000 yuan!
"Hey~" Yu Huan waved her hand: "One or two times won't have any impact."
Car washes are filled with foam, and they basically use two types of detergent diluted with water: laundry powder and dish soap.
Laundry detergent is rather unethical, and dishwashing liquid is usually sold in large containers like those used in the catering industry.
Special car wash liquid? Water wax?
nonexistent!
