Watching Lu Yumei's shy demeanor, Liu Zhizhong felt a bit of turmoil inside.
He couldn't help but think to himself, "Of course, I like those grooves, the deep kind, but still..."
Liu Zhizhong said seriously, "Looking at this evening glow, it might pour later tonight. What if the river rises? Judging by the hydrological situation here, with that cliff on one side and the gentle slope on the other, and neither grass nor trees growing much, it indicates that water has washed over it. The groove you mentioned is feasible, with a pure stone structure, but it's no more than five or six meters above the river surface at its highest. I'm afraid if the water rises and floods it, it won't be worth it."
"Uh... How did I not think of that..." Lu Yumei's face turned red, and she nodded, "You're smarter, thinking of that."
"That's called being meticulous! Look at our spot, we've got a drop of about ten meters to the river surface. Even with high water, in the vast Ru River, it's unlikely to reach up here!"
"Fine, let's set up camp here then. You deal with the RV and dinner, and I'll go for a walk, take in the scenery, snap some photos, that sort of thing."
After saying that, Lu Yumei pushed the car door open and stepped out. Dıscover more novels at 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⁂𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⁂𝙣𝙚𝙩
But then, Liu Zhizhong also got out of the vehicle, started to expand the RV while laughing, "Mrs. Lu, no need to rush! The beautiful scenery will always be waiting for you. You cook dinner, and I'm going to be busy setting up fishing hooks and such. As the saying goes, men handle the external matters, women handle the internal!"
"Ah... You..." Lu Yumei's face reddened, she wanted to retort coquettishly, but then she didn't speak out against it, instead she said, "Can't you cook dinner to honor your old mom?"
In her heart, what was this about men outside and women inside? Was it appropriate?
Liu Zhizhong replied, "If it rains later tonight and the river rises, it will be the perfect time for catfishing and catching turtles. The bays on both sides will definitely be the best havens for the fish to avoid flooding, with much steadier currents! I need to set the hooks before the water rises and prepare the bait. Come tomorrow morning, the yield will be great!"
Conviced by his detailed explanation, Lu Yumei didn't argue further; after all, there's really nothing about a woman cooking.
So, the decision was made, cheerfully.
In the last rays of the sunset, the beautiful RV extended out, standing on the riverbank high ground like a luxurious little villa.
Around the villa was a grassy area, unique rock formations, and a gentle breeze – what a comfortable environment!
Liu Zhi helped set up the canopy and arrange the tables and chairs. To prepare for any potential wind and rain during the night, he also tied down the canopy with reinforcement ropes, meticulous and serious, making everything perfect.
Lu Yumei truly enjoyed traveling with this man; she hardly needed to worry about anything, just relax and enjoy.
She increasingly discovered that Liu Zhizhong had so many shining qualities that any woman would admire, and even find hard to resist.
Once everything was set up, Liu Zhizhong said cheerfully, "Mrs. Lu, I'm off to set the hooks, leaving this place to you! After I'm done, I'll come back for dinner!"
Lu Yumei smiled slightly, "Sure, go ahead. I'll show off some of my cooking skills tonight."
"Great! Mrs. Lu's cooking is really quite delicious. Thank you for your strict discipline in teaching me a lot about cooking."
Lu Yumei felt a bit awkward, "You little rascal, saying that I forced you to learn to cook!"
"Hehe, if we're to put it that way, you did force me, but you forced me right. Let me say, thank you."
"Alright, quit your blabbering and go about your business. Don't interrupt me from cooking."
Liu Zhizhong was in high spirits, mainly because interacting with Lu Yumei felt very lifelike and interesting.
When had the prickly, cold mother-in-law and son-in-law relationship ever gone this far? It couldn't return to how it was before!
He took his homemade bait and fishing gear and headed down to the river to set up his covert fishing lines, busily enjoying himself...
