Siheyuan: I found a wife right after I crossed over

Most of the bucket of fish was quickly snatched up by the onlookers.

There were some people who hadn't bought any fish and they were actually queuing up there waiting for Yang Chong to continue fishing.

Yan Bugui was watching with envy. Not only was he watching, he was also secretly calculating the accounts nearby.

According to his incomplete statistics, in just that short period of time, Yang Chong and Yu Xiu earned as much as fifty or sixty yuan from selling fish.

Wow, this is more than his monthly salary as a primary school teacher!

Yan Bugui felt so sad.

Fortunately, Yang Chong fished for a while and saw that it was already noon, so he stood up and put away his fishing rod: "It's noon, Xiu'er, let's go home."

Yu Xiu said a little embarrassedly: "Brother, I have sold all the fish you caught. How about we catch another one and bring it back for you to eat?"

Yang Chong shook his head: "No, we haven't finished eating the pheasant yesterday, right? Let's not eat fish today. We can come back to fish later if we want to eat."

Yu Xiu nodded: "Okay, brother, I'll listen to you."

Yang Chong put away the fishing rod, took off the piece of liver hanging on the hook and threw it into the water. This piece of liver had caught so many fish, and throwing it into the water now was a way of thanking them.

As soon as he stood up, Yan Bugui, who had been eyeing him eagerly, rushed over impatiently: "Chongzi, you don't want to fish anymore? Then let the third uncle take this position."

Yang Chong didn't mind, but the other old men fishing were not happy.

Seeing Yang Chong catching fish one after another here just now, they all thought that this was a "good feng shui land" and were eagerly waiting to catch the fish, but Yan Bugui came from behind and snatched it away. So they all refused to agree: "Why should I give it to you? I came here first, so it should be mine!"

"That's right. You were just watching from a distance. We've been waiting for a long time. How could it be your turn?"

……

Yan Bugui blushed: "Chongzi and I live in the same courtyard, and he calls me Uncle San. After he leaves, this position will of course be mine."

The two walked a long way and could still hear the old men fighting for the position behind them. Yan Bugui even called Yang Chong's name: "Chongzi, don't be in a hurry to leave. Tell them that you gave this position to me."

Yu Xiu chuckled and whispered, "Brother, this uncle is so funny. He just said he would charge you 50 cents to teach you how to fish, but now he shamelessly takes your place."

Yang Chong said: "This old man just likes to take advantage of others. He doesn't have any bad intentions. Just ignore him."

Yu Xiu nodded: "Well, brother, you are really amazing. You caught so many wild rabbits and pheasants yesterday, and you caught so many fish today. Didn't you see the way those old men who were fishing looked at you? They were so jealous!"

Yang Chong smiled and said, "Have you given up yet? How much did the fish sell for?"

Yu Xiu was about to speak excitedly, but then she realized something. She looked around, then put her mouth close to Yang Chong's ear and whispered, "Brother, you caught seventy or eighty fish, two dollars a fish, a total of more than one hundred and sixty dollars."

Then he counted on his fingers and said, "Adding the money from selling pheasants and rabbits yesterday, we now have more than 300 yuan. Brother, you are amazing. The money you made in two days is almost the same as what those working people make in a year."

Yang Chong said: "No matter how much money you make, you will be in charge from now on."

Yu Xiu felt even sweeter when she heard how nice he was to her.

Yang Chong warned again, "But don't let anyone else know, otherwise we'll be in trouble."

Yu Xiu nodded vigorously: "Brother, I know that some people are just thin-skinned. If you know that you make so much money, you will definitely harm us."

After saying that, he remembered something and said nervously, "But that old man saw everything just now. Will he be in trouble?"

Yang Chong thought for a moment and said, "It's okay. At worst, I won't come here to fish anymore. I can just tell him that I was lucky today and I won't catch any fish again."

Yu Xiu nodded: "Yes, that's what I said."

Yang Chong was also thinking to himself: It seems that I have to find a way to avoid people in the future, and I can't let myself be bumped into by the Third Uncle and others like today.

The two men returned to the yard carrying buckets and fishing rods. When the people in the yard saw that they returned empty-handed, they just smiled and said nothing.

Jia Zhang stood at the door and pouted, "Huh, I knew I couldn't catch any fish. Anyone can catch that kind of fish?" She said with a fascinated expression, "Speaking of fishing, it has to be our old Jia. When he took me fishing when he was young, he could catch several fish a day. At that time, our family had no shortage of fish to eat. It's not like now..."

Yu Xiu heard it clearly, but didn't want to pay attention to her.

He thought to himself that his brother Chong had made more than a hundred yuan just from selling fish today, and this old woman would be so mad that she would die.

At noon, Yu Xiu rolled some noodles and poured the leftover chicken from last night on them. The two of them ate the delicious noodles.

Before I finished my meal, I heard Yan Jiedi calling out from the front yard, "Dad, are you back from fishing? That's great, we have fish to eat today."

It seems that Yan Bugui has also returned from fishing.

But Yan Bugui did not respond. Instead, Yan Jiedi ran over to take down the bucket containing the fish and took a look. She immediately looked annoyed and said, "Why is it empty? Dad, you fished all morning and didn't catch any fish?"

Yan Bugui had a gloomy look on his face. He stopped his bicycle, looked towards the central courtyard and shook his head.

The third aunt came out and asked, "What's wrong? Old man, you didn't catch a single fish today? Don't you usually get something?"

Yan Bugui sighed, shook his head and said, "Who knew my luck would be so bad today? I fished all morning and not a single fish took the bait."

He put away his fishing rod and walked into the house, then added: "Yang Chong is really lucky today. He must have stolen my luck."

The third aunt said curiously, "Yang Chong is lucky? Didn't he catch one too?"

Yan Bugui said: "He didn't catch any? He sold all the fish he caught!"

The third aunt widened her eyes in surprise: "You said he caught some fish today, and caught quite a few?"

Yan Bugui said, "No, I saw it with my own eyes. The boy's fishing rod was never idle. He caught fish one after another, and each one was fatter than the last. He caught 70 or 80 fish! The boy sold them all at 2 yuan per fish, so he made at least 100 yuan."

The third aunt's eyes almost fell to the ground: "What? More than a hundred yuan? That's almost equivalent to your three or four months salary."

"Who says it's not true? This kid is so lucky. I've been fishing for so many years, but why don't I have such good luck as him." Yan Bugui sighed and said, feeling very annoyed. After Yang Chong left today, he quarreled with others for a long time and finally succeeded in snatching the "feng shui treasure land" left by Yang Chong.

He originally thought that he could harvest fish like crazy like Yang Chong, but he didn't expect that when Yang Chong left, it seemed as if he took away all the feng shui of that place. He fished for a long time but didn't catch a single fish.
