Chapter 57: The willing one takes the bait. Ouyang Zhi leaned on the table and said to Xiao Tianming who was sitting on the bed: "Have you thought about what I told you about joining the martial arts association? Are you willing to join?"
The matter of the martial arts club had long been forgotten by Xiao Tianming. If Ouyang Zhi hadn't brought it up at this moment, Xiao Tianming bet that he would never have been able to think of it. However, Xiao Tianming concealed it very well. Instead of speaking first, he covered his mouth and pretended to be deep in thought.
Although Xiao Tianming's thoughtful performance was decent, Ouyang Zhi was not a fool, and of course he would not believe that Xiao Tianming was really thinking. However, Ouyang Zhi did not bother Xiao Tianming. She was waiting to see how long Xiao Tianming could pretend.
As a result, the two of them remained silent in this situation, and no one was willing to deliberately break the stalemate. The room suddenly fell into a dead silence. It was not until the appearance of a third party that the almost-dead silence was broken.
Stifling silence.
The half-open door was gently pushed open. Xia Ying walked in with a plate of fruit. Seeing Ouyang Zhi here, she was stunned for a moment, and then smiled knowingly: "Tianming, Xiaozhi, it's done.
Go downstairs and eat some fruit. Then we’ll go fishing.”
"Okay, Aunt Xia!" Xiao Tianming responded politely to Xia Ying. Xia Ying walked out with a smile on her face and closed the door.
Xiao Tianming pointed at the door, indicating whether we should go down first and discuss this issue when we have time.
"No! You must give me an answer now. Otherwise, you won't leave today." Ouyang Zhi said firmly.
Xiao Tianming weighed the pros and cons in his mind and felt that there was no harm in joining the martial arts club, so he agreed to Ouyang Zhi's request: "I can join the martial arts club, but there is one thing I must explain. I am just a name."
"What do you mean?" Ouyang Zhi asked Xiao Tianming doubtfully.
"The name means that I don't go to the club often and I won't participate in the club's activities." Xiao Tianming explained to Ouyang Zhi.
"No!" Ouyang Zhi objected to Xiao Tianming, "You don't have to come to participate in daily training, but you must participate in some important activities within the club. And if I need you to come to the club for something, you must be on call. Unless there is something
Special reasons."
Seeing that Xiao Tianming was still hesitating and might refuse at any time, Ouyang Zhi couldn't help but add: "Don't worry, I won't bother you, a busy person, with anything. Unless there is a major event in the club, I promise I won't.
To disturb you."
"If I join the club, what benefits can you give me?" Xiao Tianming saw that Ouyang Zhi was bound to win, so he couldn't help but raise the price.
"What benefits do you want?" Ouyang Zhi carefully guarded against Xiao Tianming, fearing that he would make some unkind requests.
"Don't worry, my request is very satisfied." Xiao Tianming smiled obscenely and said to Ouyang Zhi, "First, I hope you can be lenient when you are late in the morning and selectively forget some things about boys.
record.”
Ouyang Zhi gritted her teeth, suppressed the anger in her heart, and asked Xiao Tianming as calmly as possible: "What about the second item?"
"Second, don't find fault with me intentionally or unintentionally. If you don't feel bored, I feel bored too." Xiao Tianming didn't wait for Ouyang Zhi to answer, and then said, "The last thing is to help me deal with Zhang Xian. I
I know you will find a way."
"Okay, it's a deal!" Ouyang Zhi agreed to Xiao Tianming's three requests in one breath, picked up the computer and walked out of the room. If she stayed in this room for another moment, Ouyang Zhi didn't know if she would give Xiao Tianming
It was all a proud slap on the face.
Victory can always make people feel a kind of full-body joy after conquest. Especially when negotiating, it is better than an extremely proud and aggressive woman. Xiao Tianming stood up happily, straightened his clothes, and walked downstairs.
"Come on, Tianming! Eat some fruit, and then we'll set off. I've told you to prepare the fishing rods." Ouyang Zheng greeted Xiao Tianming with a smile while eating the fine snow pears that Xia Ying handed over.
"Tianming, take what you want to eat!" Xia Ying also greeted Xiao Tianming warmly.
"Okay, Uncle Ouyang, Aunt Xia." Xiao Tianming was not polite and picked up a lychee.
"If you eat three hundred lychees a day, you might as well grow up to be a Lingnan native. Tianming, you like to eat lychees, take some back to eat when you leave." After Ouyang Zheng finished speaking, he turned to Xia Ying and said, "Later,
You choose something better and pack it for Tianming."
"Don't worry! I've packed some of all kinds of fruits and I'll tell Tianming to remember to pick them up later." Xia Ying agreed with a smile.
The weather is good this afternoon. Although the sun came out very early in the morning, it became overcast in the afternoon. It was cloudless and there was an occasional breeze. This is indeed a good weather for fishing. Fish are also very good in this weather.
Easy to take the bait.
In less than an hour, Ouyang Zheng's fish basket was already half filled with fish. Among them was a large carp with a red tail.
"Tianming, you seem to be unlucky? There seems to be no movement in your fish basket for such a long time?" Ouyang Zheng took a sip of water and smiled at Xiao Tianming who was sitting next to him.
Before Xiao Tianming had time to speak, Ouyang Zhi said in vain: "If his fish basket reacts, wouldn't those fish be too stupid? If I were a fish in this water, even if I starved to death, I would not eat his bait.
Take his hook and be caught by him."
"Xiao Zhi, why are you always chasing Tianming! Didn't you catch any fish?" Xia Ying looked at her daughter and said with a smile.
"I...Mom, why are you helping him talk about me?" Ouyang Zhi was speechless by Xia Ying, and said coquettishly with a red face.
"Mom, she helps with the care, not the marriage! No one can catch a fish," Ouyang Xiong continued Xia Ying's words and smiled at Ouyang Zhi.
"Hmph! You are all targeting me, and you are bullying me alone. Later, I will catch the fish and see what else you have to say." As soon as Ouyang Zhi finished speaking, he saw the fish floating on the water move. Ouyang
Zhi hurriedly grabbed the fishing rod and pulled it hard behind her. The thin fishing line drew a beautiful arc, and a crucian carp of about one or two pieces was hung on the hook and dragged up from the water.
"I'm smiling proudly, I'm smiling proudly!" Ouyang Zhi's face was filled with a proud smile, and she glared at Xiao Tianming demonstratively, fearing that others would not see the fruits of her labor, which seemed a bit like a villain's triumph.
"Xiao Zhi, isn't it just a fish with a bigger sesame seed? Look how happy you are." Ouyang Xiong smiled at Ouyang Zhi.
"Humph!" Ouyang Zhi glared at Ouyang Xiong with dissatisfaction, and smiled proudly at Xiao Tianming, "It's better than someone getting nothing!"
"Xiao Zhi, you are wrong! Tianming does not catch nothing, but those who wish to take the bait." Ouyang Zheng paused and then explained, "Jiang Taigong fishes - those who wish to take the bait. Catching more fish does not mean that fishing skills are inferior.
Good. Anyone who is willing to take the bait is the highest state of fishing."
Ouyang Zhi thought for a while and shook her head at Ouyang Zheng, still not understanding what Ouyang Zheng meant.
"Now, it doesn't matter if you don't understand this truth. In the future, after you experience some things, you will understand. Tao is not Tao, it is very Tao. How can the true truth be expressed in language? Many great ways can only be passed through in life.
Only when you slowly understand can you feel it. If you just explain it blindly, it will not prevent you from playing the piano to a cow." After Ouyang Zheng said these words, he ignored Ouyang Zhi and turned to Xiao Tianming and asked, "How are you doing lately?"
"Very good! Uncle Jiang can eat better than before, and he can still eat more." Xiao Tianming answered Ouyang Zheng's question with a smile.
"Uncle Jiang? Who is Uncle Jiang?" Ouyang Zhi looked at Ouyang Zheng and Xiao Tianming in confusion and asked.
"A good friend of Tianming's father and I is a weirdo who likes to eat and regards fishing as a career." Ouyang Zheng explained to Ouyang Zhi, "He not only likes to eat, but he is also very particular about eating. His 'fastidiousness' is not
He insists on going to some high-end restaurants. He only pays attention to the food, but never the environment where he eats. If the food you give him is very delicious, even if you ask him to grab it with his muddy hands, he will eat it.
He won't mind. On the contrary, if the food you give him doesn't taste good to him, even if you let him stay in the palace and eat on the dragon's throne, he won't be able to swallow it. That's the kind of person he is."
Who else could be both delicious and good at fishing besides the Capricorn Man on the banks of Antai Lake? If the person in Ouyang Zheng and Xiao Tianming's mouth was not the Captive Capper, who else could it be?
"What a weird person, a very weird person." Ouyang Zhi shook his head and sighed. Although he had never seen it with his own eyes, Ouyang Zhi had already sketched out the image of such a weird person in his mind.
"Do you know what his biggest dream is?" Ouyang Zheng asked everyone with a smile.
"You should have inexhaustible money. As long as you have money, you can eat the best food in the world." Ouyang Xiong said.
"Tacky! I think hiring the best chef in the world." Ouyang Zhi sneered at Ouyang Xiong's answer.
"Tianming, what do you think?" Ouyang Zheng did not judge the answers of the Ouyang brothers and sisters, and turned to Xiao Tianming and asked.
"His biggest dream should be that my mother can cook every day, and he can come to my house to eat every meal." Xiao Tianming thought for a while and said to Ouyang Zheng seriously.
"Tch!" Ouyang Zhi cast a look of disdain on Xiao Tianming's answer, "Wang Po sells melons, isn't that how you praise her!"
"Tianming, you are right! His biggest dream is this. One time when he was drunk, he told me personally. Now that I think about it, it was already eighteen years ago. I didn't expect you to know about it.
It seems that in the past eighteen years, he has come to your house to have a meal!" Ouyang Zheng recalled all the past events, and a trace of long-lost excitement flashed in his eyes.
"Dad, look! The fish is hooked again!" Ouyang Zhi shouted excitedly to Ouyang Zheng.
