"Hehe! Lin Yi, you're good! You caught so many fish!"
Third Uncle stood in the courtyard and looked at He Yuzhu, Lin Yi, and Third Aunt, who were busy killing fish. His eyes lit up.
After he returned home in the afternoon, Third Aunt told him about how Lin Yi had caught fish in the afternoon and distributed the fish to his family.
He even said that they would do it again tonight.
She had specially asked Third Aunt not to cook at night and was waiting to eat the fish later.
When he saw that Lin Yi and He Yuzhu had returned and were about to kill the fish, he immediately asked his wife to come out and help. When they were splitting the fish, they had to split a little more.
Third Master was not evil, but he loved to scheme.
"Indeed, my luck is pretty good."
Lin Yi nodded and said. He skillfully scraped off the scales of a big fish and dissected it.
It didn't take long for the matter to be handled properly.
At this time, a fish was very precious. Other than the scales that could not be eaten, the fish offal was a treasure that could not be thrown away.
"When are you going fishing next time? Bring me along. We have more people, so we can fish more.”
Third Uncle said as he shook his body excitedly. The excitement in his eyes became even stronger.
If she went fishing with Lin Yi, she could take advantage of Lin Yi's good luck and catch a few more big fish. She could also eat more meat at home. If she caught more, she could even exchange some food with the steel mill canteen.
Third Uncle was good at scheming, especially for small schemes like this.
"Sure, I'll agree on behalf of Lin Yi. However, Third Master, you have to do me a favor. Otherwise, Lin Yi won't bring you there.”
He Yuzhu, who was standing at the side, spoke up. He was laughing, and there was a sly smile on his face.
"Help? I can help, but why do I have to help you?”
Third Uncle asked in confusion.
If I want to help, I should help Lin Yi. I'm not letting He Yuzhu take me fishing!
"Hehe, when our Xiao Yu marries Lin Yi, he will be my brother-in-law. He has to call me brother-in-law.”
He Yuzhu said proudly.
"Aiya, brother, what are you talking about?”
He Yushui's face was flushed red.
Third Uncle nodded and smiled.
"That's true. Then tell me, what can I help you with?”
"Well, when the fish stew is done, let's talk at the dining table.”
At the mention of fish, Third Uncle began to drool and couldn't help but smack his lips.
"Alright, let's talk at the dinner table.”
After killing the fish, He Yuzhu started to get busy. He started to prepare on the abandoned stove outside Lin Yi's house.
He put a big pot on it and started the fire!
Not long after, the stove, pot, and fire were all ready.
Lin Yi and Third Aunt also followed He Yuzhu's instructions and cut the fish meat.
At this moment, many neighbors in the courtyard came out to watch the show.
It was just like killing pigs during the New Year. There was so much fish meat. The fish was killed on the spot and stewed on the spot. Every household could get a bowl of fish meat, just like during the New Year.
Many people even brought some side dishes from home, thinking that they could put some in the pot. They couldn't take other people's fish for free, right?
Second Aunt and First Aunt also came out. They watched Lin Yi and He Yuzhu busy themselves. Beside them was He Yushui, who was standing charmingly.
The aunt's heart was filled with emotion.
Sigh, it wasn't easy for these three children.
He Yuzhu and his sister lost their mother when they were young, and their father ran away with someone else. They were complete idiots.
As for Lin Yi, his father had always been very strict with him, and he was very upright. When he was alive, although his salary was not small, he would sometimes help his colleagues, so he did not leave much money behind.
Suddenly, he was gone!
Lin Yi, a seventeen-year-old kid, was left behind.
She recalled that when Old Lin had just left, Lin Yi didn't even know how to cook. When he cooked alone, he almost burned down the house.
The abandoned stove outside was abandoned because of this.
Later, He Yuzhu got Lin Yi a coal stove and taught him how to cook some simple dishes.
During that time, the neighbors in the courtyard house sent Lin Yi a lot of food.
It wasn't much, just a bowl of porridge and a piece of cornbread.
No one could afford more.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Yi was going to marry a wife! He could also support his own family.
It was really quite emotional.
"First Uncle, Second Uncle, you're here too.”
Third Uncle, who was squatting at the side and waiting for the fish to be served, saw First Uncle and Second Uncle coming over and laughed happily.
First Uncle was in a good mood and nodded with a smile.
Initially, Second Uncle was a little awkward because he had been scolded by Lin Yi last night.
But today, Lin Yi had sent home a bowl of fish for lunch. He had eaten it when he came back in the afternoon. Although the food was cold, it still tasted good.
The awkwardness she felt towards Lin Yi had already disappeared.
Why was he angry with a child?
Besides, the child was right. She had gone a little overboard and made a mountain out of a molehill.
The other party's child had already come knocking on his door to deliver fish meat, and he was still holding on to it. That was not appropriate. It was not the kind of heart that a cadre should have.
This second uncle was quite a dreamer. He always thought that he was a cadre.
"Dear neighbors, First Uncle, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, this fish meat is not much. It's just a token of my appreciation. When it's cooked, everyone will have a bowl.”
Seeing that quite a number of people had gathered, Lin Yi straightened his back and said loudly.
"Xiao Yi, you're too polite. We're all neighbors. How can we complain that it's too little if you give us fish? Wouldn't that be saying that we're shameless?”
"That's right. Haha, it's good to be able to taste it.”
"That's right. Little Yi, this child, is indeed worthy of being from the old Lin family.”
"One bowl for each family. Isn't that enough?
"Enough!"
Praise after praise followed. Lin Yi smiled and didn't take it to heart.
The mouth that ate people was short, so of course, he had to say something nice.
The fish was too big. It was definitely impossible to go down in one whole fish. Moreover, there were five fish.
Therefore, he cut it into large pieces and paired it with old tofu. In order to enhance the taste, Lin Yi even cut a piece of pork and threw it in.
He Yuzhu was in charge of cooking. Her movements were skilled and she was cooking the fish in an orderly manner.
Lin Yi found an old man.
"First Uncle, we'll be done cooking in a while. We'll bring it to your house to eat. Call Second Uncle and Third Uncle. There's something I want to discuss with you.”
Grandpa Yi was puzzled for a moment but still nodded.
"Alright, then let's go to my place. But first, tell me, what's the matter?”
"Deputy Factory Manager Li wants me to be the Section Chief of the Factory's Promotion Department and preside over our factory's year-end literature and art celebration.
You have to help me with this. You're a level-eight fitter in our factory and have a lot of experience.”
Hiss!
[First Uncle's shock 10]
[Second Uncle's shock 10]
[Third Uncle's shock 10]
...
Lin Yi didn't shut his mouth when he spoke. There were also many people surrounding him. They all heard it and were all stunned.
"You! Chief of the publicity department!"
Second Uncle shouted in shock!
"I'm not sure yet. It's just that Deputy Factory Manager Li told me this afternoon. I still have to wait for the factory to inform me if it's going to work, so I'm just making preparations in advance.”
Lin Yi smiled and looked calm.
However, the hearts of the people around him had already exploded!
Looking at the notifications of Emotional Value appearing in his mind, Lin Yi smiled smugly in his heart.
"Shocking! They are all my good chives!”
