His father returned from his mission later on, only then did he start eating fish.
Thinking of Gu Junzhu, he quickly turned his face to look for Gu Junzhu’s figure and happened to see Gu Junzhu fishing up another big fish.
The little guy was so happy that he leapt up and ran towards Gu Junzhu as fast as a swallow, his sparkling eyes fixed on the big fish on the hook, jumping up and down clapping his hands.
Xie Yunlin and Xie Jinfei also gradually hooked some fish, the little one holding Lingyue’s hand, picking up a fish here and there, busily having fun.
Over an hour later, the four of them had already caught more than twenty fish, big and small.
It was about time for lunch, and the four of them stopped fishing and had their bodyguards take care of the fish.
The little one stared at the four buckets, counting each one very seriously.
After finishing counting, he smiled brightly, ran into Gu Junzhu’s arms, and proudly announced to Senior Master Xiang and Xie Yunlin, Xie Jinfei, “Dad caught eight, grandpa caught six, eldest uncle caught six, second uncle caught three, dad is first, second uncle is last! Dad is the best!”
The little one was hugging Gu Junzhu tightly with his short little arms as if he was afraid that someone would take him away.
Xie Jinfei teased him, “You don’t have to shout so loudly about your second uncle being last, you’re not afraid that it will make your second uncle cry.”
The little one giggled and buried his face in Gu Junzhu’s chest.
Senior Master Xiang felt extraordinarily pleased to hear the cheerful and pleasant laughter of the child.
He thought, no wonder why old people like children, these adorable children are a source of joy, just listening to their innocent laughter softens one’s heart.
He couldn’t help but glance at Lingyue again.
This newly adopted grandchild of his was fine in every way, except that he was too quiet.
He had asked earlier, and the child was malnourished and shorter than his peers. Although he looked only six or seven years old, he was actually eight.
But even at the age of eight, he was still a child, yet he was as calm and composed as an old man.
There is a saying that a poor child matures early.
This saying was indeed correct.
Only children who are pampered have the privilege to truly be children.
Children like Lingyue were forced to grow up quickly.
The lunch at noon was very sumptuous.
Aside from the fish caught by Gu Junzhu and others, there were also game animals brought back by the bodyguards from the deep mountains and vegetables brought from home.
Ye Xingbei also took the two children to pick some non-toxic mushrooms.
The bodyguards showed their skills and made grilled fish, grilled meat, hot pot, stir-fried vegetables, and mushroom soup. It was more delicious than the meals they had at home.
Xiao Shumiao held Lingyue’s hand, looking at the sizzling grilled fish and meat on the bonfire with excitement and anticipation all over his face.
He had never seen food being grilled on a bonfire in real life before, it was extremely interesting.
When it was time to eat, everyone ate quite a lot.
Even Gu Junzhu, who usually ate very little, couldn’t resist and had a bit more.
The most popular dishes were the grilled fish, grilled meat, and mushroom soup.
Especially the mushroom soup.
These fresh mushrooms picked from the mountain tasted nothing like the ones sold in supermarkets. The soup they made was so delicious that one could nearly swallow their own tongue.
Xiao Shumiao ate so much that his little stomach was round, and he couldn’t eat anymore. He lay on the blanket, rolling around, saying, “I’m so full!”
Gu Junzhu reached out and tapped his little stomach, “It’s well-cooked today, we can definitely cut it.”
