Siheyuan: I found a wife right after I crossed over

Yang Chong smiled and said, "Yes, Third Uncle, isn't it that Xiu'er wants to eat fish? So she wants to try her luck."

Yan Bugui was a little bit unconvinced: "No way? You just ate pheasant last night, and you want to eat fish so soon? You ate such a big pheasant?"

Yu Xiu just smiled and said nothing. Yan Bugui shook his head and said, "Fishing is not something that anyone can do, especially in such a cold weather. Most people can't catch any fish. You're using such a big bucket. I've been fishing for so many years, and I'm lucky to be able to fill this small bucket. Well, how about I teach you a few tricks? Don't worry, we're from the same school. Just pay me fifty cents for the tuition."

Yu Xiu stuck out her tongue and thought that this old man spoke nicely but was really cruel. He wanted fifty cents just by opening his mouth.

Yang Chong smiled and said, "No, Third Uncle, don't tell anyone about your unique fishing skills. Pass them on to Brother Jie Cheng. I can figure it out slowly by myself. If I really can't catch anything, forget it."

Yan Bugui was not discouraged at all: "You guys didn't prepare bait for fishing, did you? Well, for fifty cents, I'll share some of my bait with you, and I guarantee you'll have a good catch today."

Yu Xiu was startled: "Brother, I think I really forgot to prepare the bait."

Yang Chong smiled: "It's okay, I just picked up a piece of pork liver on the road, just right for fishing."

As he spoke, he reached into the bucket and actually pulled out a small piece of pork liver.

Yan Bugui was dumbfounded, wondering how this kid could be so lucky that he could pick up a pig liver while walking.

But it's a pity, why don't you keep such good liver for yourself, but use it for fishing? What a spendthrift.

Yu Xiu was a little confused and thought to herself, I came here with you, and I didn't see you picking up anything on the road, so how come you picked up a piece of pig liver.

Yang Chong said without further ado: "Uncle, you fish here. Xiu'er and I will go find a spot over there. Otherwise, Xiu'er will be startled and scare away the big fish you caught."

After saying that, he took Yu Xiu's hand and went to the other side.

Yan Bugui opened his mouth and wanted to say, "Give me some of the pig liver you picked up," but he didn't say it.

The two men found a secluded place to stop. Yang Chong found a stick and hit the lake surface twice. The ice was not too thick, so he made a hole and cleared the ice debris on top. Yang Chong directly tied a small piece of pork liver to a bamboo pole with a rope and hung it into the water. Then the two men sat by the lake waiting for the fish to take the bait.

The other old men who were fishing looked at the two of them and shook their heads, thinking that they were not here to fish, they were clearly here to talk about love, how could anyone fish like this.

Yan Bugui couldn't help but shake his head with regret: "Alas, what a pity for that piece of pig liver, it's such a waste."

As he spoke, he pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. Just as he struck a match and hadn't lit the cigarette yet, he heard Yu Xiu shouting in surprise, "It's caught, it's caught! Brother, the fish is hooked!"

Yan Bugui's hand shook and the match fell and landed on his thigh.

He jumped up quickly and tried to knock out the match, but a small hole had already been burned in his trousers by the match.

These were new pants he had made two years ago, with only a patch sewn on them. Yan Bugui stamped his feet distressedly: "This girl, why are you screaming so much? It's a pity for my pants."

As he said this, he looked over there, but was stunned at the first sight.

Then he saw Yang Chong lifting up the bamboo pole hanging in the lake. In the sunlight, a big, fat fish was flapping its wings on the rope under the bamboo pole, which looked a bit dazzling.

Yu Xiu was shouting excitedly and busy filling a small bucket with water to catch the fish.

Yan Bugui opened his mouth wide and didn't even notice that the cigarette had fallen to the ground.

After a long while, he stammered, "How come this kid is so lucky?"

But Yang Chong's good luck obviously did not stop there. Next, Yan Bugui just sat down, put the cigarette that had just fallen on the ground back into his mouth, struck another match, and lit the cigarette butt.

Then Yu Xiu shouted exaggeratedly: "Brother, it's hooked again, it's hooked again! This one is even bigger!"

Yan Bugui's hand trembled, and the match, which he had not yet blown out, burned his fingers and fell onto his legs.

Yan Bugui jumped up again and slapped his trouser legs: "Xiu'er, can you stop being so jumpy? I've burned two holes in my trousers."

As he spoke, his eyes widened, because the fish that Yang Chong picked up looked fatter and bigger than before.

This luck is simply incredible.

Yu Xiu put the fish into the bucket and smiled sheepishly: "I'm so sorry, Uncle San, I was just too excited to see my brother Chongzi catch a big fish."

Yan Bugui said in annoyance: "You guys are excited, but my pants are...

At this time, the other old men who were fishing could no longer sit still. They had been sitting by the lake for most of the day and had not caught even a small fish that was only one finger long. Seeing Yang Chong catching fish one after another, they couldn't help but drop their fishing rods and come over.

Yan Bugui was still a little embarrassed. He had just offered fifty cents to teach others how to fish, but now the other person had caught two big fish, while he still had nothing.

But unable to withstand the exclamations of the onlookers, Yan Bugui finally couldn't resist and ran over.

And when he ran over, he almost dropped his jaw.

In just a short while, the big bucket that Yang Chong brought was already filled with half a bucket of fish, including carp and crucian carp, all struggling in the bucket.

Judging from the situation, in a while, this big bucket might be full.

At this time, more and more people gathered around, not only those who were fishing, but even those who were strolling in the park came over curiously to watch the fun.

Some people saw that the fish they caught were all fat and big, and they couldn't help but come up with an idea: "Little brother, can you eat all the fish you caught? Do you want to sell them?"

"Yes, little brother, you certainly can't eat all these fish, why don't you sell some to us, and you can also earn some money to supplement your family income."

"Yes, I want to buy some too."

In this year, supplies are scarce, and even if you have money, you can't buy anything. People usually don't even have enough food to eat, let alone meat. Now seeing such a fat fish, who wouldn't want to buy one to satisfy their cravings!

Moreover, I caught the fish myself, so buying and selling the fish is not illegal.

Before Yang Chong could say anything, Yu Xiu happily agreed on his behalf: "Sell it, of course, we'll just keep two for ourselves and sell the rest!"

Before he finished speaking, the crowd rushed over and said, "I want two, big ones!"

"I want two too, no, three!"
