Chapter 78: Dad, don't you feel heartache for me?

  Soon, Chu Lixin took a pair of scissors and ran out, sat down again, and imitated Guihua's movements to stun the fish. After repeated blows, the fish was finally stunned, then it was scaled.

  The first scrape was inevitably awkward, but when Chu Lixian scraped the other side of the fish scales for the first time, he already looked like a pro.

  Several fish were scaled in no time under the full cooperation of the uncle and nephew.

  "Alright, wash it and I'll send it to your mother and fourth aunt. This thing doesn't like to be cooked, it needs to be stewed for a while." Chuli Xinfang said as he reached out his hand to take the scissors from Guifang's hand, "Give the scissors to Fourth Uncle, Fourth Uncle will wash them clean and then send them back to your house."

  "Wait a minute!" Osmanthus felt that something was not quite right, and hurriedly put down the scissors, looking at Chu Lixian with a puzzled face: "Fourth Uncle, what did you say? Can this fish be sent to the kitchen like this?"

  "Of course!" Chu Lixing's face was full of reason, completely unaware of anything wrong, and instead thought that Guihua's mind was unclear.

  After the ten thousand grass mud horses galloped past in the osmanthus heart, the osmanthus finally forced a smile and said: "Fourth uncle, not everything in this fish belly can be eaten..."

  "What?" Chu Lixing was shocked again, "Can't eat? How can't eat?"

  "...Osmanthus suddenly felt very weak, and explaining the problem of eating fish with Chu Lixing seemed to be a very painful thing."

  Sigh, forget it, rather than explaining, I'd better just give up myself.

  "Fourth uncle, can you help me get some more water? I need it to wash the fish later."

  Chu Lixin was full of doubts, but still obediently went to fetch water, which temporarily gave Gui Hua some free time.

  Make a cut in the belly of the fish, take out all the contents from the fish's stomach and throw them into a basin. Then remove the gills, and the whole fish is cleaned up.

  Just as they were about to take away the two fish, Gui Hua suddenly seemed to remember something and hastily called out for her father.

  Chu Lishou was chopping firewood when he heard Guihua calling him, so he quickly put down his work and came over. As soon as he saw Guihua's hands covered in blood, he couldn't help but jump back in fright. "What happened? Who got hurt?"

  Chu Lixiu's tense expression made Gui Hua pause for a moment, and after lowering her head to look at her own hands, she finally understood that the fish blood was mistaken for her own.

  "Dad, don't ask so many questions for now. Later on, if someone asks you where I learned the skill of catching fish with my hands, just say it was something you accidentally saw and then told me, got it?"

  Osmanthus is now worried that Chu Lixing will make a fool of himself in front of others and mention the matter of collecting fish, he will say everything out loud, which will cause Osmanthus a lot of trouble. Rather than causing trouble later, it's better to inform her own father first, and then think of a way to explain to him later!

  Chu Lishou listened to Guihua's words, first nodding his head and then shaking it, "Guihua, what do you mean? Do you want me to deceive people?"

  This is being honest, if it's within a certain range, then that's a good person, but if it exceeds that range, then it becomes foolish.

  Although she didn't want to admit it, Osmanthus had no choice but to acknowledge that her own father was a kind and foolish man.

  "Dad, if you really care about me, then do as I say and I'll explain the reason later. If you don't care about me, then be honest with me, what do you think?" Guihua decided to be stubborn, convinced that Chuli would help her anyway.
