Chapter 78: The Wisher Takes the Hook
Early the next morning, the sun was shining brightly and the thick snow began to melt.
Jiang Yu got up and shoveled the snow out of the yard with Li Ming before going inside to eat.
Qi Yan made thick pumpkin rice porridge, and Jiang Yu drank two large bowls of it along with the spicy and sour pickles, feeling refreshed all over.
Jiang Yu praised: "Sister Yan'er, your skills are as good as my mother's."
Qi Yan smiled and said: "Then you can call me mom from now on!"
Jiang Yu also joked: "That won't work, the seniority will be messed up!"
While chatting and laughing, Li Ming had prepared all the necessary items for fishing. When everyone was getting in the car, Jiang Yu suddenly said: "Wait for me, I forgot to bring my cigarettes."
Yang Dong complained: "I don't know what's so good about that thing!"
Shiliu also helped: "That's right, smoking is harmful to health. It's written on the cigarette box."
As Jiang Yu walked into the house, he shook his head and murmured with a smile: "These two people have completely formed an alliance."
After entering the house, he didn't go to get a cigarette, but went to the old lady's room.
The old lady was marinating meat with Qi Yan: "Why are you back so soon?"
"Aunt Dafeng," Jiang Yu said straight to the point: "You also know that Teacher Ye just left not long ago, and Sister Dong is quite lonely celebrating the New Year alone. Can you keep her to celebrate the New Year at your place?"
The old lady sighed: "I think so too. I'm afraid I can't defeat this girl. You don't know how stubborn she is. We can't stop her if she leaves."
Jiang Yu said: "Just ask Sister Dong to burn paper and incense for Teacher Ye and Sister Dong's father in the direction of Radar Peak during the Chinese New Year. She should keep it."
He paused and then said: "Sister Dong also said yesterday that the teachers here in Qijiatun are of average quality. Although Xiaoqiu is only in the first grade, she still needs to form good study habits.
"It just so happens that Sister Dong can teach Xiaoqiu more in these two days."
"That's a good relationship," Qi Yan said: "Yesterday this girl Yang Dong said that Qiu'er was almost being taught a wrong way, which kept me awake for half the night."
Jiang Yu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you two."
After saying that, Jiang Yu went out, got in the car, and went fishing with everyone.
Qi Yan in the room said: "People who have studied are still thoughtful."
But the old lady smiled and said: "Being thoughtful has nothing to do with whether you have studied or not."
On the other side, under the guidance of Li Ming, Jiang Yu and Yang Dong braved the cold wind to clean up a piece of snow on the river.
Li Ming used an electric drill to drill a hole and enlarged the hole. Then he set up a tent in the hole and put a blanket on the ice to prevent the cold air from rising while sitting on the ice.
A few people sat around the tent, listening to the cold wind blowing outside, and they suddenly felt comfortable.
Since there were only two fishing rods, Jiang Yu gave them to Yang Dong and Shiliu while he chatted with Li Ming.
Three or four minutes later, Yang Dong caught a big fish weighing more than two kilograms. Li Ming skillfully unhooked the fish and put the fish into the bucket.
After a while, Yang Dong caught another fish, but Sixteen still had no harvest. He was a little agitated, moving the fishing rod for a while, and then checking to see if the bait was still there.
Jiang Yu smiled and said: "Don't be anxious, you should fish more in the future to temper your impatience.
"You have always been too successful, which is not necessarily a good thing."
Sixteen glanced at Jiang Yu: "Do parents like to educate their children?"
"It's not that I like to educate my children," Jiang Yu said: "I want to pass on all the experience I gained through suffering to my children. But when you can't learn or don't want to learn, they will definitely be anxious."
Shiliudao did not continue to be stubborn.
Jiang Yu added: "Everything will be decided later. Since you want the fish to take the bait, you have something to ask for.
"Since you are asking for something, it is not something you can achieve on your own. It is up to the fish whether it wants to take the bait or not. The more you force it, the more the fish will see through your trap.
"Since you know that fish like to breathe in the ice mouth, you just need to make the bait delicious enough and throw out the bait on the path it must pass.
"This is called taking the bait."
Sixteen nodded, and he was no longer so impatient.
Li Ming on the side smiled and said: "This little boy is so smart."
At this time, Jiang Yu and others heard the armed police outside shouting: "Chief!".
Jiang Yu smiled and said: "Life is like fishing. Didn't I just catch a big fish?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the curtain of the tent was opened, and a somewhat wealthy middle-aged man came in: "Consultant Jiang is in such a good mood, he still has the leisure and elegance to fish here."
Jiang Yu quickly stood up: "Hey, Chief Ji, you are a rare visitor. Come and sit. Come and sit. Do you want to join us?"
This is one of the seven most powerful people in the country.
Li Ming hurriedly handed over a mazaar. He saw that this middle-aged man looked familiar. It seemed that there had been a report about this uncle on the news broadcast in the morning.
Chief Ji sat on the maza and took the cigarette point from Jiang Yu: "At the just-concluded special summit of the United Nations General Assembly, all countries passed the resolution to merge and reorganize the Operations Center and the United Nations Security Council.
"From now on, the United Nations Security Council will be renamed the Planetary Defense Council, or PDC for short, and the combat centers of various countries will be reorganized into subordinate units of the PDC.
"The reorganized department is called the Planetary Defense Department and is responsible for coordinating domestic and international planetary defense efforts.
"In the future, I will be responsible for the work of the Planetary Defense Department. I will eliminate some of the cancer in the original operations center, and the problems of the past period will not happen again."
Jiang Yu took a puff of cigarette: "Then I refuse permission to check the 'Poison Apple Project'?"
Chief Ji said calmly: "Diplomatic work, how can it be stress-free? Besides, everyone knows your good intentions."
Jiang Yu said seriously: "I understand."
Chief Ji glanced at Jiang Yu: "Do you really understand?"
"I really understand."
Chief Ji smiled and said: "On the way here, I thought you would take advantage of this opportunity to be a little temperamental."
"I'm not a child anymore, I still have some awareness." Jiang Yu said with a smile.
Besides, from now on, Chief Ji will be Jiang Yu’s immediate boss, and there will be a quarrel at the beginning. It is inevitable that there will be estrangement in the future work.
"Okay!" Chief Ji was not polite. He put out the cigarette butt on the ice and held the butt in his hand: "There is something you need to deal with now."
Jiang Yu nodded: "I bid farewell to everyone."
Chief Ji stood up and said, "I'll wait for you in the car."
The curtain was opened again, and Jiang Yu and others discovered that many people were already standing on the ice outside, and a black motorcade was parked by the river.
Jiang Yu said to Yang Dong and Shiliu: "Sorry, I have to go to work."
Yang Dong held the fishing rod: "Go quickly, this world still needs you to support it."
Shiliu stood up and said, "Don't forget, you still owe me a few days."
Jiang Yu smiled and said: "Don't worry, I won't default on such a good thing as being a father. You can stay here for a few more days and go back after the New Year."
Sixteen nodded at first and suddenly opened his arms.
Jiang Yu knelt down and hugged Shiliu. This time Shiliu also reached out and hugged Jiang Yu.
