Yuan Wei's Quick Travel

Chapter 265 The sister of the control group in the imperial examination

The atmosphere of this reunion dinner became particularly harmonious because of the fish Yuan Wei caught. Everyone was immersed in the joy brought by the delicious food and enjoyed the meal to their heart's content.

In this joyful atmosphere, there was one person whose face did not look very good, and that was Chen Xiu Yu.

When she went to catch the fish with great anticipation, she found that the group of naughty boys in the village had already caught all the fish.

Not even a tiny fish scale was left for her.

When she came back dejectedly, she saw that Wang Xiaocao had already skillfully cooked the fish and placed it on the table.

An inexplicable emotion surged in her heart. Why did she go fishing for no reason?

She looked left and right, and always felt that there seemed to be much less fish in the pot than she had imagined.

She couldn't help but ask Wang Xiaocao, but Wang Xiaocao just smiled at her innocently and didn't say a word about the remaining fish.

Chen Xiuyu was filled with doubts and dissatisfaction, but because the elders of the clan were present, she could not lose her temper and could only suppress her anger in her heart.

The division of the family was a foregone conclusion, and she didn't have the face to ask Wang Xiaocao for the remaining fish.

Chen Xiu Yu secretly glanced at Old Lady Zhuang, then quickly lowered her eyes, trying to hide the calculation that flashed across her eyes.

She will ask her mother-in-law to ask for it for her later. She doesn't believe that Wang Xiaocao would dare not give it to her.

After finishing their meal, the Second Elder and the others returned to their rooms with satisfied expressions.

Yuan Wei looked at Yuan Feng curiously and asked softly, "How did you divide the family business?"

"Basically, the distribution was carried out according to what Grandfather said last night. Everything went smoothly."

Yuan Feng responded casually.

His deep eyes stared at the fish hanging in the room. He moved his nostrils slightly, and a fishy smell entered his nostrils.

He turned his head and gently rubbed Yuan Wei's head.

"Don't worry about that. Have you finished your calligraphy today?"

When Yuan Wei heard this, she pouted and grumbled in dissatisfaction: "Brother, you are so annoying. You messed up my hair."

As she spoke, she slapped Yuan Feng's rebellious hand away without hesitation, trying to change the subject in this way and divert attention away from the calligraphy practice.

Where do I find time to practice calligraphy today?

It's only noon now, so it won't make any difference if I practice in the afternoon.

She glanced at Yuan Feng secretly, a cunning gleam in her eyes.

This is changing the subject!

Yuan Feng seemed to be aware of Yuan Wei's thoughts. He smiled gently, and that smile contained endless pampering and tenderness, as if it could melt all the troubles in the world.

He did not expose Yuan Wei's little thoughts.

Because he wanted to divert Yuan Wei's attention in this way.

Tell her not to always worry about the troubles of dividing the family property.

At such a young age, these shouldn't be something she should worry about.

The brother and sister were like two naughty kittens. They were changing the subject tacitly and successfully trapping the other in their own "trap".

Yuan Feng frowned. He couldn't stand the strong fishy smell. He couldn't help but rub his nose and asked, "Did you catch this fish from the creek today?"

Yuan Wei followed his gaze and looked up at the fish hanging in the house, a helpless expression on her face.

"Yes, I originally wanted to pickle the fish so that I could enjoy it for a long time. Who could have imagined that the smell after pickling would be so strong and pungent, it's almost unbearable!"

She shook her head and turned to look at the second elder and Wang Xiaocao beside her, her eyes full of confusion.

"Should we get rid of it as soon as possible, or give it to someone else? I really can't stand the smell. I'm really afraid that if we keep it any longer, the whole house will be filled with the smell."

The second elder's eyes were slightly red, obviously he cried again during the division of the family business.

He has always been accustomed to being controlled by Old Lady Zhuang.

Now he was suddenly asked to become the head of the family. This sudden responsibility really made him feel overwhelmed and his heart was in a mess.

I didn’t feel anything when I was eating just now, but now that I realize it, I feel up and down.

When he heard Yuan Wei's question, he just nodded mechanically, his eyes revealing a hint of confusion and absent-mindedness, and he looked a little lost.

Wang Xiaocao looked at the second elder worriedly, his eyes full of concern.

"Dad, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Yuan Wei also noticed that there was something wrong with Yuan Lao Er's mood.

Yuan Lao Er came back to his senses, forced a smile, and looked at Yuan Wei tenderly, "Dad is fine, it's just that we just split up, and I'm a little uncomfortable."

Yuan Wei knew that he had suddenly become the boss, and she felt uneasy.

She smiled and comforted Yuan Lao Er, "My dear father, please don't be upset about this."

"If you want to be the head of the family, then go ahead and do it. If you feel too tired or don't want to be the head of the family anymore, don't you still have your big brother?"

Yuan Wei turned to look at Yuan Feng, "Brother, am I right?"

"Yes." Yuan Feng nodded in response.

"Huh? Is this even possible?"

Yuan Lao Er was stunned for a moment, then looked at Yuan Feng with joy, "Then this family will be handed over to you in charge?"

Yuan Feng stared at the tears gradually gathering in Yuan Lao Er's eyes and nodded helplessly, "Okay."

"That's great. Now Dad can rest assured."

The second elder breathed a sigh of relief, but tears flowed uncontrollably from his eyes.

While wiping his tears, he asked Yuan Wei, "What did you say about dealing with this fish?"

"Give it away. The smell is so strong that it makes me feel dizzy."

Yuan Wei covered her nose tightly and asked, "How about giving some to Big Brother's teacher?"

"This fish isn't dried yet, so it's not appropriate to give it to the Master."

Yuan Feng shook his head repeatedly, "If you want to send it, you have to wait a few days until it's dried."

There is no reason to give a semi-finished product to the teacher.

"That's fine. If we really want to give it to you, we can smoke it and make it into smoked fish."

As soon as Yuan Wei finished speaking, her mind suddenly moved, and she suddenly thought of a dish - Shanghai smoked fish.

However, the materials needed are not available at home. Although they are available in my own space, it is difficult to take them out.

There was no time for her to invent a suitable excuse to take it out.

I can only put the preparation of this dish on hold for now and leave it for later.

Yuan Wei couldn't help but feel a little regretful, and the gluttony in her stomach began to stir.

"You are so heartless! I knew you were not a good person..."

At this moment, Chen Xiuyu's sharp shouting suddenly came from outside.

The second elder and others looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.

Yuan Wei's eyes suddenly lit up, she stood up abruptly, and ran out anxiously to join in the fun.
