Siheyuan: Liu Guangtian's happy life

After breakfast, he took his younger brother to find two fishing rods. These two fishing rods were bought by Liu Haizhong when his eldest brother Liu Guangqi was in junior high school.

It only cost six dollars. I have to say that this father is really good to his eldest son. Usually everyone is reluctant to spend money on food and drink, but he can still do this.

You know how much purchasing power six yuan had at that time. Pork was 5 cents a pound, and six yuan could buy 12 pounds!

Old hens cost 2 yuan each, and you can buy three of them. 6 yuan is enough for an adult's food.

When they learned that the fishing rod cost 6 yuan, the whole courtyard was shocked. Some people praised the second uncle for being generous and loving his son, but some people said behind his back that he was a spendthrift.

When the third uncle Yan Bugui found out about it, he was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe! He made it himself by cutting a piece of bamboo. His second uncle is really good at playing.

He asked Guangfu to wait at the door with the things in hand. While his parents were not around, he ran to the kitchen, got a cloth bag, filled it with more than a pound of corn flour, grabbed some salt, and ran away.

"Guangfu, let's go."

When the two brothers left the backyard and went to the middle yard, they saw Qin Huairu washing clothes. Sha Zhu was sitting at the door of his room drinking tea, and from time to time he would secretly glance at Qin Huairu who was washing clothes.

There was a gleam of light in his eyes from time to time, and I wonder what he was thinking about.

When he saw the two brothers passing by, he called out, "Hey! Guangtian, are you taking your brother fishing?"

"Yes, Brother Zhuzi! I have nothing to do during the holidays, so I thought about trying my luck and seeing if I can get some fish to improve the food for my family."

"Okay! You have grown up and become a big boy now, not bad. I wish you good luck today."

Sha Zhu thought to himself that this Liu Lao Er was pretty good and he even knew to call him Brother Zhuzi. He was a good guy.

"Okay, Brother Zhuzi, it's getting late. My brother and I should leave first, otherwise we will miss the opportunity."

Whenever I met some aunties or grandmas along the way, I would greet them one by one. That's how a slum is, it's very lively with a lot of people, everyone lives in the same courtyard, so you'll see them everywhere you go.

It is not okay not to say hello when you meet someone, otherwise it will be considered impolite.

I hurried all the way and didn't take the bus. The buses were too slow at that time, so I had to walk. I'm used to it.

These days walking more than ten miles is commonplace. If you come to this era, you have to endure the hardships of this era. There is no way around it. Life is like rape. You can't resist, you can only enjoy it.

After arriving at Shichahai, fishermen along the way, mostly middle-aged and elderly people, and some people of status and position came to cultivate their sentiments.

Like the third uncle, most people make a living by supplementing their family income and improving their family’s meals.

There is no way out, they are forced by life. Many people rarely move in order to avoid starvation. They would rather lie down than stand, all for the sake of saving food.

Find an open area, take out the corn flour, stir it with water, add some salt and knead it.

In my previous life, I was a fishing enthusiast and I was quite good at it!

After waiting for the bait to wake up for about ten minutes, Guangfu next to him asked, "Brother, are you using cornmeal as bait?"

"This is such a waste!"

"Humph! How many years have you been eating rice? What do you know?"

"Just wait and see. I'm going to show you my skills today. If you don't go home for lunch, I'll make you grilled fish."

"Okay, brother. I'll listen to you."

At Guangfu's age, people just dislike dogs. Any dog ​​that passes by him will be slapped twice.

Bait the bait, cast the rod, all done in one go! Guangfu next to him followed suit.

While I was chatting with Guangfu, the float moved!

"Brother! It's moving! Guangfu shouted excitedly!"

"Shh! Stop making noise. You haven't taken the bait yet. Don't be impatient."

At this time, the float sank. Seeing this, Liu Guangtian hurriedly pulled it up and brought it up in an instant.

It was just a grass carp, weighing only about 5 kilograms. There was no need to even play with it, I just pulled it ashore.

"Second brother! You are so awesome! Guangfu is praising you!"

"What's the big deal? Put it in the bucket. It's a good start today. Not bad. Hahahaha," Liu Guangtian laughed!

In this era, fishing is done by digging up earthworms and using them as bait, which are worthless things. Fishing with an empty bamboo basket is a unprofitable business.

Otherwise, everyone would do the same as Liu Guangtian and use cornmeal as bait. This is food. Although it is coarse grain, coarse grain is still food!

After a morning, the bucket was filled with about ten fish and three old turtles of different sizes.

"Brother, there are so many fish, it's great, Guangfu shouted excitedly."

"Yeah! Liu Guangtian was also very happy, laughing loudly."

"Guangfu! Let's retreat. We have enough fish. Otherwise, we won't be able to take them away."

Although it can be put into the space villa, Guangfu is here.

He counted it back and forth several times, but Liu Guangtian did not dare to reveal the secret of the existence of the space.

Just as I was about to leave, someone came up and asked if the fish could be switched.

Seeing this, Liu Guangtian was of course willing. He kept two fish and two old turtles for himself and gave away all the rest.

The old turtle costs 5 yuan, and the other fish cost only 10 yuan in total, which is exactly 15 yuan.

I agreed with Guangfu that he must not tell others that he had sold his property when he returned home, otherwise I would not take him with me anymore. Guangfu agreed immediately, as this was a secret between him and his second brother.

The two of them walked back arm in arm, drinking two bottles of Arctic Ocean soda on the way, feeling very happy.

When they were almost some distance away from home, Liu Guangtian tied the two fish together with a straw rope.

Tied around the waist, one on the left and one on the right, the two fish weigh about 16 pounds in total, but it doesn't seem too heavy, it just looks so cool.

Seeing this, Guangfu also wanted to tie the two old turtles around his waist like his brother did.

Liu Guangtian teased him and said, "Aren't you afraid that these two bastards will bite your buttocks? Hahaha!"

Liu Guangfu also wanted to show off, but Liu Guangtian couldn't argue with him, so he tied the two old turtles to a fishing rod and asked him to carry the fishing rod.

The two brothers walked unsteadily into Nanluoguxiang with their legs crossed, parading through the streets and greeting everyone they saw.

"Oh! Aunt Li, look at this fish and this old turtle. They were all caught by my second brother and me."

"Oh! Guangtian, Guangfu, what a promising future! Really amazing."

Many people looked at them with envy and wanted to ask for some, but since there were only a few, they didn’t feel comfortable asking for them. If they hadn’t sold some of them just now, who knows how many would be left!

When we walked into the Hongxing Courtyard, the three aunts were chatting with people at the door. The door god, the third uncle, was not there. I guess he went fishing today. He usually fishes all day long, so he would never come back as early as the two brothers.

The three aunts’ eyes lit up when they saw the brothers!

"Hey, Guangfu, Guangtian, are these the fish that our old man caught and asked you to bring back?"

When the two brothers heard this, they were stunned on the spot. Who am I? Where am I?

Liu Guangtian came to his senses and thought, this family is really weird. Just as he was about to reply, he heard Liu Guangfu shouting!

"Third Aunt, are you still asleep? This is the fish my second brother and I went fishing for early in the morning!"

"We haven't even met the Third Master today. What's your point?"

When the third aunt heard what Liu Guangfu said, she was speechless and didn't react.

Liu Guangtian saw that his brother had a bad tone but did not stop him. It was because the third aunt spoke without thinking.

Would the Third Uncle be willing to let the two brothers bring back the fish? Given his calculating mind, it was unlikely.

Although the three aunts tried to imitate her, I think they didn't grasp the essence of it and couldn't even speak.

He glanced at the three aunts who were in a daze, and called his brother to go home.

It was only around 11 o'clock at this time, and the households had not started cooking yet.

The crowd who were chatting in the yard were stunned when they saw the two brothers. What a big fish! There were also two old turtles. Jia Zhangshi, who was sewing shoe soles, was even more delighted.

His eyes were rolling around, and I don't know what he was up to!
