"Well then... I'll come and help too." Sun Yixie had a sharp eye for social cues and instantly knew to take advantage of the situation when he heard this.
As his words fell, he had already stepped forward two paces, rolled up his sleeves, and skillfully grabbed a fish, starting to prepare it alongside the two old men.
"Hey, kid, I didn't see that coming; you're quite handy," the shorter old man said, surprised to see Sun Yixie joining in the work. "Does your family also fish?"
"That's not it," Sun Yixie replied while his hands continued to work briskly, "but I do know a bit about jobs related to aquaculture."
"Oh..." After hearing that, the shorter old man gave the taller one a glance, without any change in his expression.
Two seconds later, they stopped what they were doing.
"Since that's the case, then how about you finish up this little bit of work for us old folks," the shorter old man went on.
