Chapter 1065: Novice Protection Period (2)
Little Stone looked at the swallowtail pomfret and swallowed his saliva. "Aunt, can we eat it today?"
Liu Meilan replied, "I guess you won't be able to have lunch. Your grandma will have already prepared the meal when we get home! Your aunt will definitely make it for you in the evening!"
"Thank you, Auntie!" Little Stone thanked him quickly. "It's such a good fish, Auntie, please tell me about it!"
Liu Meilan smiled happily whenever she mentioned fish. Now that she had such a supportive nephew, she suddenly had a strong desire to show off her rich knowledge of marine fish.
"Of course! I'm not bragging, your aunt is now a walking marine encyclopedia! Swallowtail pomfret are bottom-dwelling fish that can withstand temperatures as low as 14°C. They breed and spawn every year from September to October. The young fish live in coastal estuaries. Once they grow up, they prefer to stay in small groups and swim slowly during the day."
"But this doesn't mean the swallowtail pomfret isn't fast. When faced with danger or chasing prey, it becomes agile and swift. This fish can grow up to 1.1 meters long and grows very quickly. Many farmers now like to raise this fish."
Little Stone listened carefully, "Auntie, many fish have nicknames. Does this fish have one?"
Liu Meilan smiled and nodded, "Of course! When this fish is first caught and taken out of the water, its body surface reflects red, so some people also call it redwood!"
Little Stone lowered his head and took a closer look. "It does have a little red reflection, no wonder it has such a nickname! Auntie, let's put the fish away and continue fishing! I hope I'll have better luck so I can treat everyone to a seafood dinner tonight!"
Liu Meilan nodded, "Okay!"
Liu Yiwen reached out and touched his eldest nephew's head enviously. He wished his twin sons could be as smart as his eldest nephew.
With the second fish, Xiao Shitou was also lucky, it was a white bass (pictured).
Little Stone gasped, "Oh my God! Auntie, this fish is so big! It's almost one meter long!"
Liu Meilan replied, "Yes, it's called the Baihua Seabass. This fish is found where freshwater and saltwater meet. It's very aggressive and loves to occupy territory. When it's young, it preys on plankton. Once it grows to 20 centimeters, it starts to eat smaller fish or seabed dwellers."
Little Stone's eyes sparkled. "Such a big fish must have a lot of meat! It's so beautiful!"
Liu Meilan laughed heartily. "Yes! This kind of fish is tender and smooth, with exceptionally thick flesh and few bones! The fish flavor is average, though, and the fat has a slight fishy smell. But that doesn't matter; after cooking, it can become a delicacy!"
Seeing his nephew catching big and good fish one after another, Liu Yiwen was so envious that he almost drooled.
"Is the sea so generous to newcomers? Why is my luck so bad today? Not only did I not catch a single good fish, I couldn't even catch an ordinary fish!"
Liu Meilan raised her eyebrows slightly, "Then don't waste your time. Save some bait and go fishing for our little stone."
In fact, Liu Meilan did this on purpose to cultivate Xiao Shitou's interest in fishing.
Liu Meilan thought it would be fun to go out to sea with her friends in the future.
As for the sea, it is furious and capricious, but also generous.
Therefore, when educating her offspring, Liu Meilan constantly asked them to enhance their self-protection awareness, and at the same time let them appreciate the generous gifts of the sea.
They caught a lot of fish, and when they got off the boat, they had not only a suitcase but also a large bucket of fish.
When Mr. Liu heard that his great-grandson was coming, he was already waiting at the dock.
Guard Xiao Chen pushed a tricycle and went forward to put the bucket Liu Meilan was carrying on the tricycle.
Little Stone saw his great grandfather rushing over and hugged him around the waist, "Great grandfather, I missed you so much!"
Old Master Liu was beaming with joy when he saw that his great-grandson had grown so tall. The joy of inheriting his bloodline made the old man laugh heartily.
"Grandpa misses you too! Come on, your grandma has prepared a big table of delicious food at home! There are many that you will like! Your younger brothers and sisters are waiting for you at home, and they want to play with you, their big brother!"
Little Stone held his head high and said proudly, "I brought back a lot of things too. They are gifts that I carefully prepared for my family and my brothers and sisters!"
Grandpa Liu held the hand of his great-grandson and walked briskly home.
When Professor Xie saw his eldest grandson, he also liked him very much. As if he couldn't see enough of him, he kissed Little Stone's forehead several times.
As a little man, Xiao Shitou felt a little embarrassed after being kissed.
Professor Xie and Mr. Liu thanked Aunt Yu for taking care of Xiao Shitou over the years.
Aunt Yu was also very touched and was especially glad that she had taken on this job.
She was once an old lady who was despised by her children, but now her children compete to call her and send her clothes.
Although she knew her children's character, she was still a parent after all, and after a long time, she also longed for the care of her family.
As a result, Aunt Yu's relationship with her children has also eased, but she has firmly remembered the lesson: spend the money you earn yourself! At most, she will buy some things for her grandchildren when they come.
Any more, there will be no more.
She is not as sad and angry as before because she knows she has the confidence to support her retirement.
When she could no longer cook or take care of basic daily life, she went to a nursing home in town.
With Liu Meilan's care, the nurses inside didn't dare to bully her. So now Aunt Yu is full of confidence and in very good condition.
After dinner, Xiao Chen helped Aunt Yu with her luggage and sent her home.
Aunt Yu, when you open the door, you will see that the yard is clean and there are several pots of beautiful flowers.
The room has also been renovated and equipped with a flush toilet, which is clean, hygienic and convenient.
The closet is filled with new clothes for all seasons, and the bed is clean and tidy. Even if she spent her own money to decorate it, it might not be as good as it is now.
The pots and pans in the kitchen were also clean, and they even had a new set.
Aunt Yu took a shower in the bathroom, changed her clothes, and looked at herself in the mirror.
Except for the skin, which got a little tanned due to living in the northwest, everything else is pretty good, especially the eyes.
After taking a short nap, Aunt Yu went straight to the Liu family.
The Liu family already had a nanny, and with Aunt Yu's help, things became even easier.
This way, Zhang Xiufang doesn't have to do so much work at home and can devote more energy to work.
The family is harmonious, and as Liu Yibang's wedding date draws closer, the joy in the family increases.
Qin Zheng, a college classmate and good friend of Liu Yibang, received a hard envelope containing a big red invitation.
Qin Zheng opened it and saw that it was Liu Yibang’s wedding invitation!
Qin Zheng immediately called Liu Yibang and said, "Not only will I be at your wedding, but I'll be there early!"
Liu Yibang's cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone, "You're more familiar with Shenzhen than I am now. Go explore it by yourself. I won't be in a hurry to go back with you!"
