Siheyuan: After traveling through time, who can still be an honest person?

"Morning, Uncle."

Cao Yue suddenly spoke and scared Yan Bugui.

"Xiao Cao, why are you standing at the gate of the compound so early in the morning instead of sleeping in at home?"

Yan Bugui almost peed all over himself while holding the urinal, and looked at Cao Yue with resentment.

Cao Yue stretched his arms and legs and said, "I'm running to exercise."

"Young people are all sleepy. My three kids are still sleeping soundly. I admire young people with perseverance."

Yan Bugui's shrewd eyes flashed, and he praised Cao Yue like he didn't care about money: "No wonder you were able to knock Sha Zhu down, it turns out you have been practicing martial arts secretly, amazing!"

"Third uncle, you don't have to flatter me, just say what you want to say."

Cao Yue knew that Yan Bugui was calculating and extremely stingy, and he would never praise someone casually.

Yan Bugui laughed and said, "Xiao Cao, Uncle San has seen you go fishing and always come back with a full load. Have you found a fish nest?"

"Next time you go fishing, can you take me with you?"

"Uncle, you won't be able to catch any fish even if you go there." Cao Yue shook his head.

"Why is that?" Yan Bugui asked quickly.

He fished all day yesterday, but only caught a small crucian carp half a finger long.

I didn't even go home for lunch and just ate a steamed bun. As a result, I was tired and hungry.

I went home and calculated the costs at night and found that I had lost money. I was so upset that I couldn't sleep well that night.

Because I didn't have a bicycle and in order to save time, I went out of the city in the morning to buy a ticket and took the bus, which cost several cents.

After Yan Bugui came back, he thought about it and felt that it didn't make sense that he, a veteran, couldn't catch any fish while Cao Yue, a novice, was catching so many fish.

He guessed that Cao Yue must be lucky to find the fish nest.

Cao Yue said seriously: "Because the fish there are smart, they don't bite the hook casually. The score depends on who is fishing there."

"For good people like me, especially the children of martyrs, the fish there are eager to take the bait and are willing to eat us and provide us with nutrition."

"If you encounter someone who is stingy and haggles over every penny with his children, the fish there would rather commit suicide and rot in the river than take the bait."

"Uncle, the truth is hard to hear, please don't take it to heart!"

After Cao Yue finished speaking, he walked around Yan Bugui, who was shaking with anger, and quickly entered the yard.

"Cao Yue, you didn't tell me the truth, but you mocked me. You are really ill-mannered!"

Yan Bugui went to the toilet angrily, emptied the urine pot, and then returned home in a sullen mood.

"What's wrong with you?" asked the third aunt.

"I was bitten by a dog." Yan Bugui said unhappily.

"Dog? Whose dog?"

The three aunts looked confused.

People can’t even get enough food to eat nowadays, so why would anyone keep a dog?

Even if you raise it, you should tie it up at home. If you let go of the rope, it will be eaten by someone else in the blink of an eye.

"I'm talking about that kid Cao Yue."

The third uncle said angrily: "I just ran into him outside the yard and wanted to ask him about fishing. It would have been fine if he didn't tell me, but he even dared to mock me, the third uncle. Tell me, isn't that infuriating?"

"Have you found out the news?" the third aunt asked hurriedly.

"If that kid had told me, would I still be so angry?"

Yan Bugui looked at the third aunt like a fool.

"There must be something fishy about this. If our family knew Cao Yue's fishing tips, we would definitely eat fish every day."

Not only the three aunts, but other residents in the courtyard also envied Cao Yue for bringing home fish every day.

"Yes."

Yan Bugui said with longing: "Just like before, the big fish will be sold to the canteen of the steel mill through Shazhu, and the small fish will be kept at home to improve the food."

The third aunt also yearned: "That kind of life will be something to look forward to!"

The two of them had beautiful fantasies, but soon had to face reality.

How can I find out Cao Yue’s fishing secret?

"That guy is very tight-lipped. You won't get anything out of him if you ask him directly."

Yan Bugui pondered and said, "It seems that I can only follow him. Next time he goes out fishing, I will secretly follow him."

After that, he warned: "You should also keep your eyes open. As soon as that boy goes out with the fishing rod, notify me immediately."

"Okay, I'm at home and not working anyway, so if he goes out, he must not have run away."

The third aunt looked very excited, as if the fish were already waving at her.

……

Cao Yue returned home, fried a goose egg, a duck egg, and a chicken egg, took out the extra dishes he had made yesterday, and started to eat breakfast.

Backyard, Liu Haizhong's house.

On the dining table, there was a bowl of cornmeal porridge, a steamed bun for each person, and a few pickled radishes.

There was only a scrambled egg in front of Liu Haizhong.

The brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were angry. In this world, the problem is not the scarcity of food but the injustice!

Why should their father eat scrambled eggs every day while they have to eat steamed bread?

Now the fragrance outside drifted in again, and I realized that this was Cao Yue releasing the "poison gas" on time.

I can't live this day!

Liu Haizhong finished eating the eggs with a cold face, then got up and went outside.

Liu Guangtian watched Liu Haizhong leave, and said to his mother with a smile: "Mom, can you fry an egg for me too!"

The second aunt squinted her eyes, stretched out her right hand and sneered, "Give me the money!"

"Mom, why are you so obsessed with money now?" Liu Guangtian said dissatisfiedly.

"That's right, second brother is right. If people don't know, they would think you and Yan Laoxi are from the same family!" Liu Guangfu on the side echoed.

"Bullshit!" the second aunt cursed.

"Yes, it was my own mother who farted!" Liu Guangtian said nonchalantly.

The second aunt was so angry that she stood up and wanted to beat Liu Guangtian, which scared Liu Guangtian so much that he quickly gave in to his mother.

"Mom, you just fried eggs for us two brothers, so what?" Liu Guangtian begged humbly.

The second aunt said mercilessly: "Just give me the money and go fry some eggs. Didn't you say 'New century, new country, earn your own money and spend it yourself'?"

"That's not what I said. That's what your great son, my dear elder brother, said," Liu Guangtian retorted.

"No matter who said it, if you don't have money, you won't have eggs to eat." The second aunt was cold-blooded and heartless to the end.

Seeing that he couldn't eat eggs, Liu Guangtian scolded, "Mom, you are so cruel."

"I'm still an apprentice, and our factory is small. I only get 15 yuan a month, and I have to hand over 13 yuan to you as soon as I get paid. I only have 2 yuan left for pocket money. What can I do with this little money?"

"You and my dad should think it over. My eldest brother has gone to work in another place. I'm afraid he won't be able to be transferred back in this lifetime. You two old people will still have to rely on us for your retirement in the future."

"Second brother is right, Mom, you and my dad should be nicer to us brothers in the future." Liu Guangfu interrupted.

The second aunt sneered: "Depending on you for retirement? We would have starved to death long ago."

"You can move now, so you're naturally stubborn."

Liu Guangtian said, "When you and my dad are paralyzed in bed, there will be no one to help you. No one will even bring you a bowl of water to drink."

"It's too late for you to regret it now. Don't blame us brothers for not caring whether you live or die!"

The second aunt sneered disdainfully when she heard this.

"Bang!"

At this moment, the door was kicked open and Liu Haizhong rushed in murderously.

"dad……"

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were so scared that they hid in the corner, trembling.

"These two little bastards are rebelling!"

Liu Haizhong found a rolling pin and beat his two sons hard, making the Liu Guangtian brothers cry out in pain.

The second aunt not only did not try to stop the fight, but fanned the flames:

"Beat them, beat them hard, these two little bastards, they want to wait until we are old to abuse us, ungrateful little bastards!"

When Liu Haizhong heard this, he hit him even harder.
