The uncle said: Okay, Xu will definitely like it too, how about inviting him over and cooking some thirteen-spiced crayfish as a midnight snack tonight?

I asked: Can you cook Thirteen Spices?

The uncle said: I'll go look in the kitchen, there should be a recipe.

I said: Okay.

Then we lay in bed together until almost noon.

Xu is grumpy when he wakes up. He gets up later than the rest of us and looks unhappy when he wakes up.

After we finished cleaning up, we went out for lunch. I said we were going to go lobster fishing, and Xu was very excited.

After dinner, the three of us went to RT-Mart and bought a few pieces of pork belly, a roll of thread, and a lot of drinks and snacks.

Then Xu drove and I directed the way, and we went to a small river near the outskirts of the city.

This river is at the foot of a mountain. It is surrounded by weeds and there is no one around. The uncle said that we should find a few sticks, tie a rope to it, and then tie a piece of pork belly to the rope so that we can catch lobsters.

After saying that, the uncle and Xu ran into the weeds to look for sticks. After a while, they found three sticks.

I was sitting on a rock by the river eating potato chips, and the uncle took one, tied it with a rope and handed it to me.

I didn't know how to fish so I just watched them from the side.

They stood by the river, put the pork belly tied to a rope into the water, and after a while they pulled it up to see if there were any lobsters.

There are so many lobsters in this place. After putting them down for a while, you can pick up several of them.

Some clever lobsters ran away after a short while, while some were particularly stupid and refused to let go of the pork belly with their claws.

Uncle Xu and Uncle were getting more and more excited as they fished. As soon as they lifted the rods, they exclaimed, “Wow, there are so many…”

It looked so easy to do it, so I ran over and put the pork belly in water to try it...

There were indeed quite a few when I picked them up. I quickly threw the lobsters onto the shore, but I didn't dare to catch them. I called them, but they were busy catching their own and didn't help me. Then I watched helplessly the two lobsters I caught run back into the river.

The uncle said that I was making things more troublesome and told me to stop fishing and just stay by the side and eat snacks, as they couldn’t finish fishing anyway.

I simply gave them my stick and sat on the side to eat potato chips, with the uncle holding one in each hand.

After fishing for about two hours, the small bucket we brought was almost full. It looked to be about four or five pounds. The lobsters were quite small, but the water here was not dirty and the lobsters looked clean too.

They both wanted to fish more but there was simply no room left, so Xu closed the lid on the bucket and we got in the car and planned to go back.

The uncle said: If I had known there were so many lobsters, I would have brought an extra bucket.

Xu said: There are really a lot of them, it feels like the river is full of lobsters.

I said: It’s okay, we’ll come back next time.

Xu hurriedly said: Hey, please call me next time you come, it’s so much fun.

I said: "Okay, you go back, pig." I lifted my trouser legs and said: "Look at my legs, I'm almost being fed to mosquitoes."

The uncle said: "Fuck! How come you were bitten so badly?"

I said: I attract mosquitoes. When I am with others, as long as I am there, the mosquitoes will not bite others.

Xu started the car and said: That's because you stink.

I said: Oh, please go away, I'm so itchy, I want to go home and put on some floral water.

Xu changed gears and the car was on the road. But before we had driven a few meters, he suddenly stepped on the brakes and I fell forward...

I said: You stupid pig, what are you doing?

Xu said: It’s broken, my Buddhist beads are lost.

I said: When I came here, I saw you playing with your phone.

He put the car in park and said to us: I'll go down and look for it.

I said: Oh, forget it, where are you going to find it? It must have fallen into the weeds. Don't look for it. It's cheap and worthless.

He said: I'll go look for it.

I said: Hey, forget it.

He ignored me, opened the car door and got out. The uncle didn't say anything.

I shouted at him: Be careful, there might be a snake in the grass.

He didn't say anything, but quickened his pace and ran in the direction where we had just fished for lobsters...

Then... ten minutes... twenty minutes... half an hour passed and he still didn't come back.

I couldn't wait any longer, so I said to the uncle: Is he sick? Honey, please sit down, I'll go get him back.

The uncle pulled me and said: You sit down, I'll go.

He just got off the car and saw Xu running back in a hurry.

I asked: Have you found it?

He said with a smirk on his face: I found it, at the place where we go to pick up sticks.

I said: What's wrong with your pants?

Xu looked at his trouser legs and said: It's okay, there was a kind of thorny grass in the bushes, which got caught on my pants and tore them.

I said: Do you know? That string of Buddhist beads is not as expensive as your pants, right?

He said: It's just a pair of pants, there are plenty of them at home, let's go back!

He said as he drove back to my house.

After arriving at my house and putting down the lobsters, Xu went to change his pants, and then the two of them went to the kitchen together to wash the lobsters, brushing them one by one with a toothbrush, which was very time-consuming.

After washing, it was almost time for dinner, so I asked them: What do you want to eat for dinner?

Xu said: Let's go eat grilled fish. The grilled fish in your county is really delicious.

The uncle said: Okay, now I want to eat it too.

I said: "Eating grilled fish again? My colleagues and I often go there, and we are a little jealous."

Xiao Qingcao said: I didn’t have enough food the last time I went with you, how about we each order one this time?

I was shocked by him. I said, "What? Such a big fish for each of us? Are you stupid?"

Xu pointed at me and said: You are really a person... When ordering, you always say you can't eat, but when eating, you always say you eat the most. Last time, you ate two-thirds of the fish, and I wasn't full yet. I wanted to order another one, but you wouldn't let me.

I rolled my eyes at him. I obviously didn’t eat much, okay?

The uncle looked at the watch on his wrist and said: Okay, stop arguing, if you want to eat grilled fish, go over now. That restaurant is doing so good that if you go later there won’t be any seats left.

With that, the three of us hurried downstairs and Xu drove the car to the grilled fish restaurant.

When I drove onto the road, I saw a car in front of me that was the same model as the uncle's car.

I patted the uncle and said: Honey, look, is the car in front the same as you?

The uncle was nearsighted and didn't wear glasses. He squinted his eyes, looked ahead and said: It seems so, but I can't see it clearly.

Xu hurriedly said: No, it should be a BYD. BYD has a car that looks very similar to Bentley.

I said: It’s Bentley.

Xu said: Long-legged rabbit, let me make a bet with you, okay? I bet on BYD, whoever loses will pay for the grilled fish tonight.

I said: Let's bet. If you don't believe me, just chase them and see for yourself. Your four eyes are not as useful as my two.

The uncle said: You two can gamble, I'm just eating for free.

Xu started to speed up, and while chasing the car he said: If you lose I will bankrupt you.

I said: Okay, if I lose I will order ten Qingjiang fish for you, and if you can’t finish them I will stuff them into your mouth.
