Chapter 923: Gift from the Sea God?
"He's still young, and certainly not that far off."

"Give him more time, and he might surpass you one day."

Grandpa Xiao looked at Mu Tansong, "But to be honest, Xiaosong is really a much calmer kid now."

"Then you and Aying should feel relieved."

"Yes."

Mr. Mu's brows relaxed, "At least it's not hopeless."

“Know how to repent.”

"Unlike your child Xiaoxiao, you haven't had to worry about him since he was young."

“We are worried too.”

Grandpa Xiao waved his hand, "It's just that the things I worry about are different from those of ordinary children."

"Just be happy."

Looking at Grandpa Xiao who was smiling happily, Grandpa Mu rolled his eyes.

He looked at Xiao Xiao, "Xiao Xiao, do you like this wood carving?"

Although everyone's reactions explained everything, Mr. Mu still asked an extra question.

"like."

Xiao Xiao nodded simply, "Grandpa Mu, your carving skills are amazing."

"I look exactly like Ajiu and Abai."

It's like a scaled-down model.

……

"Haha, as long as you like it."

The wrinkles at the corners of Grandpa Mu's eyes smoothed out. "Although it's not a valuable thing, it's a token of your Grandpa Mu's thoughtfulness."

"Thank you for helping Grandpa Mu's family so much."

"Okay, thank you once is enough. Why are you so polite, old man?"

Grandpa Xiao said with some dissatisfaction.

"I'm not thanking you, am I?"

Old Man Mu glanced over.

"Well, the thank you gift has been delivered, so we won't bother you anymore."

"Hey, come on, let's eat a piece of watermelon before we leave."

Grandma Xiao picked up the plate of watermelon.

Mr. Mu and his family were not overly polite. After each eating a piece of watermelon, they said goodbye and left.

……

The Xiao family members stood around the wood carving and looked at it for a long time.

Especially after the white plum blossoms were in full bloom, Xiao Xiao standing under the tree really looked like a wood carving.

"How did this old wood do this? It's as if it was carved while watching this scene."

Grandpa Xiao was both amazed and surprised.

"Yes."

Grandma Xiao nodded in agreement, "Old Mu is indeed a skilled craftsman."

"Is this level probably at the master level?"

……

Originally, Xiao Xiao wanted to move the wood sculpture to his room, but everyone else agreed that such a fine work of art should be placed in the living room.

The minority obeys the majority.

The wood carving was finally carefully placed by Xiao's father on the cabinet next to the TV in the living room.

Next to it is a thin-necked white porcelain vase with a white plum branch inserted in it.

The few white plum blossoms above are in full bloom, and the faint plum fragrance is wafting away.

Suddenly, looking at the wood carving, one would think that the white plum tree was full of flowers, with a cool fragrance.

Even so, Xiao Xiao still felt a little uncomfortable seeing his wood sculptures placed in the living room.

However, seeing the satisfied looks on the faces of Xiao's mother and the others, he shrugged his shoulders and kept silent.

Anyway, he will be going back to school tomorrow, so out of sight, out of mind.

The next day after having lunch at home, Xiao Xiao said goodbye to his family and the monsters in the yard and set off for school.

However, after knocking once, the door suddenly opened and Zhang Bo smiled cheerfully, "Third brother, you're here."

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao responded and walked into the dormitory through the door that Zhang Bo made way for.

Zhuge Yun and Zhao Luzheng were both in their respective positions.

"Lao San (Third Brother), you are here."

"Okay, the third brother is here, you can talk, eldest brother."

Zhuge Yun urged.

"Yes, Boss, tell me now."

Zhao Luzheng looked as if he had been reminded, "What on earth is going on?"

Xiao Xiao put down his luggage, and stopped opening the suitcase when he heard the words. He looked at Zhang Bo with some curiosity, "What?" "Hehe."

Zhang Bo smiled with a bit of pride, "Let me tell you something."

It turned out that Zhang Bo went out to sea with his uncle again before going home.

Fishing is a regular activity.

Unexpectedly, he caught a huge yellow croaker.

It weighs eight kilograms!

"My uncle was shocked."

"He had never heard of anyone catching such a big yellow croaker."

"I'm lucky."

"Hehe, this is obviously my brother's strength!"

Zhang Bo put his hands on his hips, looking very proud.

"Fuck, such a big yellow croaker?!"

"Boss, are you lucky?"

Zhuge Yun couldn't help but complain.

"Boss, that's awesome!"

Zhao Luzheng was full of admiration, "Such a big yellow croaker must be valuable, right?"

Zhang Bo rolled his eyes at Zhuge Yun, "You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth."

Then he looked at Zhao Luzheng with excitement, "Yes, my uncle said that last time someone caught a yellow croaker weighing more than four kilograms in the market, and later sold it for nearly 30,000 yuan!"

"How much do you think I can sell this fish for?"

Zhang Bo grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"Did you sell it then?"

Xiao Xiao asked.

"Well..."

Zhang Bo scratched his hair and said, "I was originally in favor of selling it."

"It's a lot of money."

"But uncle and the others disagree."

"He said I caught it and wanted me to keep it."

"No matter how hard I tried to persuade them, they still refused to agree. They even said that this was a gift from the Sea God and that it was a great blessing for me and that I couldn't give it to anyone else."

"I had no choice but to ask them to kill the yellow croaker."

"We ate some of it, and my uncle packed up the rest for me to take home for my parents to try."

"Too."

Although it was a pity that I couldn't sell the fish for money, what Uncle Zhang and the others said made sense. "Boss, maybe this is the pinnacle of your fishing career."

"It's better to enjoy it yourself."

Zhuge Yun winked at Zhang Bo.

Zhang Bo:.
Although he had thought so.

However, after being said so directly, he still glared at Zhuge Yun with some dissatisfaction.

However, he then looked away and frowned slightly.

His face seemed to be troubled by something.

"What's wrong, boss?"

Zhao Lu was a little surprised by Zhang Bo's expression at this moment.

".actually-"

Zhang Bo raised his eyes and glanced at everyone, "I think the arrival of this fish is a bit mysterious."

"Maybe it's really like what my uncle said, a gift from the sea god."

"So when my uncle said that, I stopped insisting on selling fish."

"Ok?"

Everyone was stunned, "What do you mean?"

"Why is this fish so mysterious?"

Zhuge Yun asked questions repeatedly.

"Um……"

Zhang Bo's brows knitted together, "It's just a feeling."

"I can't really say for sure."

"It's just that the feeling when the fish is hooked is not right."

"Besides, generally, fish will struggle a lot when they are caught."

"That yellow croaker was so big, but it didn't move at all. It just let me catch it."

“I almost thought I had hooked a dead fish.”
