Chapter 346 Brother-in-law, I am really pitiful!

Chen Hui fetched two buckets of water and hid under the patio at Wu Jinhua's back door.

After washing off the sweat and fatigue from two days at sea, I put on a set of clean clothes and returned to the house feeling refreshed.

An Wenyi held a small bowl of noodles in both hands and sat at the door of the room eating.

Seeing Chen Hui coming in, he asked with a smile: "Brother-in-law, do you want to eat noodles?"

"Mmm, it smells so good!"

Chen Hui was hungry because he didn’t eat enough at Wang Kunhua’s house at noon.

When he walked into the kitchen, he found that there was only a bowl of noodles left in the pot for Wu Jinhua. He quickly took a small bowl and chopsticks and ran to the construction site.

Chen Huihong is packing noodles for the workers.

Chen Hui held out the bowl and said, "Sister Hong, I want one too!"

On the construction site, the older masters all call them that.

Chen Huihong hit Chen Hui for nothing and scolded him with a smile: "You have no respect for your elders!"

He took Chen Hui's bowl and filled one for him as well.

"Boss, didn't you have lunch this afternoon? And you come to snatch snacks from us!"

A familiar voice teased.

Chen Hui looked up and saw that it was Tian Ajun who was recruited by Wang Kunhua because of him.

The family has been building a brick wall recently, and he and his brother should have been working for several days.

Chen Hui took a bite of noodles and joked, "Master Tian, ​​I had dinner at your boss's house today. Tell me if I was full or not."

"Ouch!"

Tian Ajun looked at Wang Kunhua awkwardly, and said with a laugh: "That must be because the snacks cooked by Hong Mei are too delicious."

"Huihong's cooking skills are really good!" said Wang Kunhua.

Seeing that the situation was resolved, Tian Ajun said nothing more. He found a pile of bricks, sat down and started eating noodles.

After eating snacks, Wu Shuisheng distributed cigarettes to several craftsmen.

The workers didn't get any cigarettes, but Wu Shuisheng was very considerate and gave each of them a cigarette.

Everyone took a short break and smoked a cigarette, then continued working.

Chen Hui stood next to Wu Shuisheng and Wang Kunhua and listened to them chatting for a while.

Just when I was thinking about whether to take a walk up the mountain, I felt someone patting me on the back.

When I looked back, there was clearly no one behind me.

"Eh?!"

Chen Hui turned around.

Looking down, I saw An Wenyi squatting at my feet, covering her mouth and giggling uncontrollably.

"Hey, you little brat!"

Chen Hui stretched out his arm and messed up An Wenyi's hair!

"Brother-in-law, take me to the river to catch snails."

"My sister and mom are both too busy to play with me, and mom won't take me to the mountains to play. I feel so pitiful."

An Wenyi was not angry. He stood up and said while fixing his hair.

Lin Jiao must be in the store these two days.

Neither himself nor Wu Shuisheng was here.

An Wenjing and Chen Huihong were in charge of cooking snacks and making tea on the construction site. They were so busy every day that they had no time to take care of her.

Chen Hui also felt that this little kid was indeed quite miserable.

"Well, since I have nothing to do this afternoon, I'll take you to catch stream snails."

"Let's go home and get a small bucket."

Chen Hui said this and strode towards Wu Jinhua's house.

An Wenyi stamped his feet with joy and followed Chen Hui, repeating happily: "Touch the snails! Touch the snails! Touch the snails!"

"Be careful, don't fall into the river and get sick like last time." Chen Hui instructed.

"I know!" An Wenyi answered crisply.

Two people, one big and one small, returned to Wu Jinhua's house and found a bucket of suitable size.

Walk upstream together along the river.

Arriving at an area where few villagers went, Chen Hui first felt the surroundings, then reached into the water and scooped up some water.

As expected, I only caught a few small snails. I held out my hand to An Wenyi, who had been shouting with excitement all the way, and said, "The ones here are too small, look."

"Ah? What should we do then?" An Wenyi asked, looking up.

"Go forward, there are not only stream snails but also stream fish ahead!"

"Brother-in-law, how do you know there are fish ahead?"

"My guess."

"Wow! My brother-in-law is awesome!"

"No big deal! Come on, I'll make you a plate of fried fish tonight."

An Wenyi is small and walks very slowly against the current.

Chen Hui had been waiting for a long time and lost his patience, so he picked her up, held her in one hand, and walked up for another ten minutes.

He put her down, pointed to a rock by the stream and said, "Look there!"

"Wow! What a big stream snail! There really is one right here!"

"Brother-in-law, you are amazing. You even guessed it right!"

A bright smile spread across An Wenyi's little face, and he ran over and enthusiastically invited the snail to play in his bucket.

Xi Luo could not refuse such enthusiasm and was forced to move with his family.

"This is not a blind guess, it's a well-founded guess!"

"It rained a few days ago, and the snails and small fish from upstream will be brought down by the rain."

"Those places just now were too close to where the villagers were working. They had already been rummaged through."

"The weather has been good these days and everyone is busy working, so no one comes here," Chen Hui explained.

An Wenyi didn't quite understand what he heard, but he felt it seemed very impressive.

She said enviously, "Brother-in-law, when can I be as good as you!"

"You can wait until you go to school. The teacher will teach you a lot of knowledge!"

"Besides, you are so obedient. The teacher likes you so much that he will definitely not hit you." Chen Hui said.

Next year An Wenyi will go to primary school.

The fear of going to school that was instigated by An Wenjing must be corrected in advance.

"Really? Then I want to go to school."

An Wenyi said this very seriously.

Although this did not affect her changing her mind as soon as she woke up.

Chen Hui took An Wenyi to the creek to catch a lot of snails and also caught twenty or thirty stream fish of different sizes.

An Wenyi was amazed by his skill in catching fish with bare hands.

As soon as he got home and found An Wenjing at home, he ran in and started talking excitedly about Chen Hui catching fish.

"Wow! Your brother-in-law is really awesome then!"

"But why are you so excited? It's not like you like eating stream fish."

An Wenjing smiled and touched her little face.

"Don't eat stream fish? Why?" Chen Hui asked.

"There are so many bones on stream fish, my mom and I don't have the patience to pick them out."

"She couldn't eat it, so she just didn't eat it."

An Wenjing took a look and said in surprise: "It's really a lot, I can make two bowls of fish soup."

"The fish from the stream is tender and has a special fishy aroma. You'd be missing out if you don't get one!"

"But it's true that there are more bones than meat. I can't eat it even if it's stewed directly."

"Let me get these stream fish later and make sure she has enough to eat." Chen Hui said.

"it is good!"

"It's getting late, let's cook dinner early today."

As An Wenjing spoke, she took out some rice to cook.

Wang Kunhua and the workers were walking towards the village entrance. When they heard Chen Hui's voice, he said to the workers, "Wait for me. I'll go in and say hello to the boss."

Seeing Chen Hui and An Wenjing cleaning something, he asked curiously, "What delicious food are you cooking?"

“I just caught some stream snails and small stream fish this afternoon!”

"Brother-in-law Wang, you're here at the right time. Let's take some stream fish back." Chen Hui stopped what he was doing and said.
