Chapter 406 Self-sufficient
They didn't wait long before Mr. Forrest came with a young man carrying fishing tools. It seemed that the fishing tools in this farmhouse here were quite complete.
"Dad, brother, I would hand over three gentlemen to you. I'll take the others to the strawberry shed."
"Okay. Go ahead."
Forrest waved his hand with a smile. The young man next to Forrest looked like Forrest. It seemed that he was the son of Forrest because Peggy called him brother just now.
"Gentlemen, please have a seat. My name is Hubert Meng. I'm a master of fishing here. Even my father is no match for me. Do you three Gentlemen usually go fishing?"
Harris looked up at Hubert Meng with a smile. Albert was putting the chair, and Gavin said.
"Young man, is Peggy your sister?"
"Yes."
"She is a clever and considerate girl. She takes good care of us."
Hubert Meng smiled. He was a straightforward young man.
"Yes, she has been very considerate since she was a child. I think it's also because you three gentlemen are looked about the same age as my father, so she feel very close to you three."
"Ha-ha, young man, you're such a good talker and emotionally intelligent. You are good at flattering."
Harris burst into laughter. Apparently the young man was complimenting the three of them that they three were looked younger than their real age. It was really pleasant to hear that. He hadn't been flattered for a long time. Albert didn't think so. He didn't listen to what the young man was talking about
at all. He was studying the fishing rod in his hand. He also came out of the countryside and often went fishing when he was a child, but the fishing rod that time was not as complicated as it was now. He couldn't even figure out how to use this fishing rod.
He had planned to show his real capacity in front of Harris and Gavin, but he found that he had thought too simply about the fishing rod. It was a disgrace, and he might be mocked by Harris if Harris found out. So he wanted to figure it out as soon as possible before Harris and Gavin noticed. But the more anxious he was, the more he couldn't figure out how to use the fishing rod. The sweat came out of his forehead.
Hubert Meng soon found out the situation of Albert. Just now, his father put down the things and rushed back to work. Before leaving, he asked him to entertain the three distinguished guests well.
"Sir, you don't often go fishing, do you? Let me help you."
Harris and Gavin also saw Albert's situation. Seeing his red face, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Ha-ha, Albert, do you want to pretend to be capable in front of us again? Do you want to show off how good your fishing skills are? But how can the fishing tools nowadays be the same as those in the past? In the past, the fishing rod just included a hook, a fish line and a wooden stick."
Harris's words hit the nail on the head. Albert had no choice but to snort at him, and turned around. He didn't talk to him anymore and just let Harris be proud for a while now.
As a result, Harris seemed to sit next to Albert casually and pick up the fishing rod beside him. He used the fishing rod skillfully. He threw the fishing line with the bait into the water and then sat down leisurely. Not long after, he caught a big fish of more than two pounds.
"Ha-ha, Mr. Harris, you are still so awesome."
Gavin couldn't help giving a thumbs up to Harris. He even called Harris Mr. Harris. Albert was furious. He didn't believe that he couldn't catch a fish today! However, every time when the float floated, Albert pulled the fishing line back and then he would see that the bait was eaten and the fish escaped. He didn't catch a fish.
On the other side, Peggy took Teresa and the others to the shed. She taught the two children and the three adults how to pick strawberries. And she told them that after they picked strawberries in the shed, they had to take them to the gate and check the amount. Obviously, Ares didn't care about the money at all.
Peggy had been squatting beside Brain and Bruce, teaching them how to pick strawberry by not hurting the vines and roots of the strawberry, and also to take off the complete strawberry. Brain and Bruce were smart, and in fact, they had already learned it. Brain stood up and pretended to be a little tired, but in fact, he looked at Ares and Fiona nearby.
No matter how hard Fiona tried to dodge, Ares was followed closely by her, and Teresa was holding a basket beside them.
"Hey, little guys. What is the relationship between you two and that handsome man?"
"Oh, he is a friend of my daddy."
Brain, who seemed to give a casual answer, he was better than the serious Bruce in this respect. He knew what this young lady wanted to know.
"Is that lady your daddy's friend's girlfriend?"
Seeing that Ares had been with Fiona all the time, Peggy thought that such a handsome man must have a girlfriend. She felt her heart was inevitably empty. Why couldn't she meet a good single man?
"No. She is not his girlfriend."
Brain shook his head and answered casually, his eyes falling on the strawberry. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
"Oh, by the way, beautiful lady, that uncle doesn't know how to pick strawberries at all. I just saw him pick several rotten strawberries. You can teach him. He is so stupid."
Brain said in a cute voice. Peggy smiled and reached out to touch Brain's head.
"Well, you've learned very well. Just do as I've taught you. Then I will go to teach your daddy's friend."
After Peggy left, Teresa looked at the two children strangely, but Brain and Bruce pretended not to see their mother's glance. They squatted down and began to pick strawberry. They wanted to pick many strawberries.
"Mommy, let's pick many strawberries and take them back to daddy, okay?"
Teresa smiled and nodded. Enrique always would get whatever he wanted. He had a lot of money. Would he really care about the strawberries they picked?
She took out her cell phone from her trouser pocket and took a photo of the two children squatting on the ground. Then she sent the photo to Enrique.
"Your two sons said they were going to pick strawberries for you."
Soon, she received a message from Enrique.
"Let them work hard. As long as those strawberries they brought back were picked by them, I will eat them all."
Teresa put down her phone. In fact, she had never thought that Enrique would reply to her message. At this moment, Brain pulled Teresa's trousers.
"Mommy, squat down and have a look."
Teresa was stunned. She squatted down and looked in the direction of Brain's and Bruce's gaze. On the other side, Peggy was squatting beside Ares and talking seriously, while Fiona, who stood next to them, looked a little lonely.
