Seventy: After going to the countryside, I became the boss's favorite

On the first day of the new year, every family gets up early to put up Spring Festival couplets.

It was not popular to buy Spring Festival couplets at that time. People would basically cut a piece of red paper and go find someone in the village who was good at calligraphy to help write one.

The Shen family didn't need to ask anyone to write for them, because Liu Yueying's calligraphy was taught by Grandpa Liu, and her strokes were vigorous and full of style.

It's a pity that I haven't been out and about in recent years, so others naturally don't know about it.

But Zhang Xianglei and his wife knew about it, so they came to the Shen family's backyard early in the morning with red paper and Jin Ya. When Zhang Jin Ya saw Liu Yueying, she kowtowed without saying a word. Liu Yueying helped her up with a smile and gave her a red envelope.

Zhang Jinya smiled and put it in her pocket, then dragged Shen Yuxuan to kowtow to her parents.

Shen Yusheng is old, so he naturally doesn't participate, but Xuan'er is young, and it's just the age for fun.

Shen Yuxuan was also obedient and kowtowed twice, and received two red envelopes. After taking them, she did not put them in her pocket, but gave one each to Liu Yueying and Gu Jiamo.

As for her brother...the little girl didn't remember him at all.

In fact, Gu Jiamo had also prepared a red envelope for the little girl and placed it under her pillow. Now she coaxed her into the house to find it herself. The two families were chatting happily, and it was quite fun to celebrate the New Year.

"I'll take you fishing later, do you want to go?"

Zhang Jinya secretly approached Gu Jiamo and spoke to her.

"The lake should be covered with ice now. How can we fish?"

"Just dig a hole. It's very simple. Let me tell you, fish are very stupid in winter. They will take the bait if you give them some bread. If we are lucky, we can have fish soup at noon!"

Gu Jiamo was persuaded by her, mainly because there were no other entertainment options now. All the books in Liu Yueying's cabinet had been burned, and she didn't even have a chance to read some books.

Shen Yuxuan just found the red envelope that Gu Jiamo had hidden for her and ran out. When she heard that Sister Jin Ya was going to take them fishing, she happily circled around Gu Jiamo.

As for Shen Yusheng...

Zhang Jinya didn't get along with him and didn't even call him, but he was still worried and insisted on following him.

Zhang Jinya didn't dare to show off and could only endure it in frustration. However, she held Shen Yuxuan's hand and Gu Jiamo's arm, leaving Shen Yusheng behind, as if she had won.

When they arrived, there were already quite a few people on the lake, some skating and some walking. The weather at this time was much colder than in later times, and the ice was very solid, so parents felt comfortable letting their children wander around on the ice.

Some are playing spinning tops, some are skating, everyone has a smile on their face. No matter what their normal relationships are like, during these days of the New Year, no one will cause trouble. Everyone hopes that the new year will start smoothly.

Zhang Jinya found a place with few people and started drilling a hole with a chisel. However, she was not strong enough and there was no change on the ice surface after hammering for a long time. Shen Yusheng couldn't bear it, so he took the chisel from her hand and, with a few bangs, he drilled a hole in the ice surface.

The hole is not big, but it is just enough to put a fishing line in it.

After Zhang Jinya packed the pancakes, she handed the fishing rod to Gu Jiamo.

"Sister Jia Mo, come and try it."

It was Gu Jiamo's first time to fish on ice, and she took it with a smile. Zhang Jinya originally thought that they had to wait for a while and let Shen Yusheng go to the next door to dig a hole so that she and Xuan'er could also have some fun, but who knew that Gu Jiamo suddenly exclaimed.

“Why do I feel like a fish has taken the bait?”

Zhang Jinya thought she was hallucinating because she was too nervous, but Shen Yusheng thought of the century-old ginseng that appeared inexplicably on the back mountain, and he flashed to Gu Jiamo's side.

I helped her pull the fishing line, and surprisingly, I caught a fish weighing four or five kilograms.

Zhang Jinya looked at the fish that Gu Jiamo had caught and couldn't help but open her mouth wide: "Are fish nowadays so stupid? It might as well just jump up by itself."

Just as he finished his words, there was a puff sound from the hole and a fish really jumped out!
