70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman-Chapter 55: Chance Encounter with the Male Lead

"Big sis, I also want to go down and play." Xu Jiaojiao looked expectantly at Xu Mumu. Her brothers could all go in the water, but she and the big sister couldn’t.

"Just play around here, the water is deep and dangerous." Xu Mumu said seriously.

"You hold the fish basket and follow me, I’ll take you spear fishing." Xu Mumu weighed the fish spear in her hand and then pinched the little girl’s cheek.

"Big sis will teach me." Xu Jiaojiao knew about spear fishing but never imagined her big sis could do it. The little girl’s eyes shone brighter, looking at Xu Mumu, she thought her big sis was so amazing; her big sis seemed to know everything.

"Sure." Xu Mumu said with a smile. The little girl was quite adorable, mainly because she was obedient, sensible, and not dumb. There was no enmity between the sisters, so Xu Mumu could accept the little girl so well.

"Big sis, you’re so nice." Xu Jiaojiao held Xu Mumu’s hand, feeling extremely happy. She really liked her big sis now, who was completely different from the past.

The river water had risen, and there were quite a few people fishing at the riverbank. It was evening now, everyone was off work and had time. If they were lucky enough to catch two fish, they could take them home to improve their lives.

Clearly, many people had this idea; the riverbank was still quite crowded.

Xu Mumu greeted Xu Minghui, asking him to watch a few of the kids, then she took Xu Jiaojiao to a quieter spot.

There were many people upstream, and people downstream as well.

"Yin Zhiqing, you’re fishing too?" Seeing a few educated youths downstream, Xu Mumu smiled and nodded at them. She wasn’t familiar with these people, relatively familiar with only Yin Yang. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Yin Yang was, after all, her lifesaver, and Yin Yang’s face made it impossible for her to forget.

However, among these educated youths, Xu Mumu saw someone unexpected.

Xu Mumu slightly curled her lips; wasn’t this the book’s male protagonist Huo Qingze.

Huo Qingze also had an outstanding appearance, but seemed less delicate than Yin Yang, appearing more handsome and with a cold demeanor. Just standing there, he attracted others’ gaze like a glowing figure.

"That’s right, why did you all come here?" Yin Yang’s faint smile dazzled Xu Mumu; this person was really good-looking.

Yin Yang held a small fish net in his hand, carefully netting near the bank, searching for fish.

Xu Mumu looked at the fish basket tied at Yin Yang’s waist; surprisingly, it had a fish inside. Although not large, just over a pound, unexpectedly this person had quite good luck.

"Too many people over there, so we came here. The water is shallower here." Xu Mumu laughed; much of the water here had been diverted to the fields, making it shallower.

"True, but there aren’t many fish here." Yin Yang looked at Xu Mumu. He still remembered the scene when Xu Mumu saved him in the town.

He still remembered Xu Mumu’s incredible strength and was not very willing to provoke this girl.

"No problem, just here to play." Xu Mumu smiled, placing the fish basket Xu Jiaojiao carried on the bank, holding the fish spear. She’d never speared fish before, unsure if she could do it.

She was quite envious of Yin Yang’s small fish net, which seemed more reliable than the wooden stick in her hand.

"Jiaojiao, keep an eye on the bank, don’t fall into the water. Shout if you see any fish." Xu Mumu seriously instructed Xu Jiaojiao. Although there weren’t many fish here, Xu Mumu still hoped to have some catch, even a small fish would do.

"Don’t worry, big sis. I’ll shout as soon as I see one." Xu Jiaojiao said excitedly.

Xu Mumu held the fish spear, searching for signs of fish along the bank, feeling slightly eager to try.

"Hah, Xu Mumu, trying to catch fish like this? Don’t be ridiculous." A girl with two braided pigtails sneered at Xu Mumu. She was also an educated youth who had come to the countryside, named Bai Xiaofu, but not from the Imperial City.

Although Bai Xiaofu made the remark, others didn’t laugh, but were all waiting to see the excitement.

These people, though educated youths in the countryside, quite envied Xu Mumu.

Although they went to the countryside, life wasn’t smooth. At first, they had a passion, but upon arrival, they realized how tough life was, not even having enough to eat. Initially, having some money and tickets helped, but later they tried to go back, yet had no chance.

After feeling real hunger, they gradually settled down.

"I never thought I’d definitely catch fish." Xu Mumu said calmly, recalling Bai Xiaofu, having some memory of her, though not much.

Bai Xiaofu liked Huo Qingze; in the team, she was quite lively, with relatively decent family conditions. Last year, she was looking for ways to return to the city.

That time, Bai Xiaofu was very high-profile, but for some unknown reason, she didn’t return to the city later on, probably feeling humiliated, so she settled down and diligently worked.

Yin Yang looked at Xu Mumu, seeing she didn’t need his help, said nothing, continuing to fish diligently. If he caught another one, using it for cooking would surely be delicious.

Recently, some conflicts arose at the educated youth point, so everyone separated and ate independently.

The fish he caught surely belonged to him; as for those two noisy, annoying women, there’s no way he’d share the fish with them, not even dreaming, considering the fish net was acquired through barter.

Remembering Xu Mumu fighting, her fierce stance, he had confidence she’d catch fish.

Watching from the side, Su Ling and Yang Jingjing noticed Yin Yang’s attention on Xu Mumu, immediately feeling more dislike towards Xu Mumu.

The two male idols at the educated youth point were Huo Qingze and Yin Yang. Huo Qingze was cold and didn’t talk much to them, unlike Yin Yang, who was gentle, kind, and so handsome that they liked him, even competing secretly.

However, Yin Yang never expressed liking anyone, rendering their secret competition useless.

Today, they discovered that Yin Yang had someone he paid attention to.

If it wasn’t for Yin Yang’s gaze lacking other implications, they’d likely have lost their cool.

Xu Mumu didn’t bother with those educated youths; she was focusing on spearing a fish, not just to embarrass those youths, but to improve her family’s meal.

Xu Mumu’s luck was quite good, and soon enough, a fish swam over.
