Siheyuan: Sending my younger brother to the countryside to raise pigs

The father and son talked happily, as if they had reached some kind of cooperation intention.

Yan Jiefang lowered his head and drank water.

Although the old man agreed to let the eldest son go to Shanxi to dig coal, the eldest son would definitely not be willing. He had to make this matter a success and leave him no room for refusal.

"Dad, many people in the city are unemployed recently. When I passed by the recruitment office yesterday, I saw a long line there.

I waited in line for a long time, but it was not my turn until the staff got off work. When my brother came back from fishing, I didn’t know if they still wanted me.”

Yan Fugui was dreaming of living a good life with the money earned by his boss, but when he heard these words suddenly, he felt like someone was snatching food from a tiger's mouth, and he immediately became angry.

"What did you say?"

Yan Jiefang was shocked by Yan Fugui's behavior. "I wonder if my brother will be able to find out when he comes back from fishing."

Now Yan Fugui couldn't sit still anymore.

"How can this be? Damn it, why didn't you tell me earlier? Hurry up and call your brother back."

Yan Jiefang felt contemptuous.

I really should put a mirror in front of the old man so that he can see his ugly face.

"Where are you calling? Who knows where he went fishing? Besides, did Big Brother really go fishing?"

Anyway, he doesn't believe it.

Yan Fugui was stunned for half a second, then angrily cursed: "He is a hopeless case. He can't even grasp the good opportunity in front of him. He can't be relied upon at all.

What should I do? Second brother, do you have any ideas? It's not easy to get a chance, we can't let it go. Second brother, how about you give your name first, and let your brother take over later? "

Yan Jiefang rolled his eyes inwardly.

If I can't make up for this, do I have to sell myself out?

Yan Jiefang had no doubt that the old man would do such a thing.

"Dad, why bother with all this? Why don't you just go and avenge my brother's life? Why bother taking his place? It's too much trouble."

"Is this okay?"

"Why not? My brother has good arms and legs, and we didn't lie to them. Besides, we'll know if it works or not just by trying."

Yan Fugui was a little hesitant.

"Or we can wait for my brother to come back, but we don't know if he will want us by then."

Upon hearing this, Yan Fugui immediately became anxious and said quickly: "What you said makes sense, let's go and ask first. If they don't agree and insist that I go in person, we will go find your brother. Let's go quickly, time is running out, don't wait until they really recruit enough people and miss a good opportunity."

Seeing Yan Fugui's anxious look, Yan Jiefang couldn't help but want to laugh, and silently lit a stick of incense for his elder brother in his heart.

My dear brother, this is not my fault. It was Dad who was in a hurry to sell you.

Look at the life you are living in this family. Everyone hates you. I am just helping you, brother. Don't thank me.

"Dad, you need an ID card to register. I'll go get it from my sister-in-law."

"go quickly."

Yan Jiecheng, who was on his way to the pond to fish, had no idea that he had been sold out by his good father and good brother.

……

The weather was clear and the sun was shining brightly.

Yan Jiecheng walked on the street carrying fishing gear on his back, looking at the ancient and rustic capital, feeling very excited.

There are gray-white tiled houses and muddy streets. There is no roar of cars and no bustling commercial streets. Pedestrians wearing simple clothes walk in groups of three or four, talking and laughing.

Everything seemed unreal like a dream, yet extremely exciting.

Yan Jiecheng came to a remote pond according to his memory and found a clean place to sit down.

Take out the fishing rod, hang the bait on it, and cast it gently. The fish hook falls into the water with a snap, splashing a small splash of water, and the float rises and falls slightly.

Before I came here, I only went fishing during holidays when I had free time to cultivate my sentiments.

Now, it is to improve life.

Thinking about it, Yan Jie Chengdu found it ridiculous.

And what happened in the past few days is so ridiculous that I have never encountered such a bloody thing in my life. There is no normal person in this family, they are all weird.

There is a calculating old man, a biased old woman, a scheming second brother, an unfaithful wife, a selfish sister, and only the third brother, Yan Jiekuang, is relatively normal, but that's because he is young.

If you continue to be influenced by such a family atmosphere, you will become like them sooner or later.

Thinking of this, Yan Jiecheng couldn't help but sigh. He felt like a sheep falling into a pack of wolves and being surrounded by them.

Yes, that's the feeling. This morning, an old wolf had a piece of meat bitten off from him.

As long as they live under the same roof, given the old man's personality, this kind of shit is bound to happen in the future.

Therefore, if you want to get rid of these people, there is only one way, that is to split up.

But in this era of restrictions everywhere, he couldn't find a way to make a living for the time being, and his life of living under someone else's roof would probably have to continue for some time.

The fishing float shook.

Yan Jiecheng knew that the fish had taken the bait, so he quickly pulled the fishing rod hard, the fishing line became taut, and splashes of water continued to appear on the water surface.

The fish struggled desperately.

From the force transmitted from the fishing rod and the part of the fish sticking out of the water, it can be judged that this fish is quite heavy, at least three or four kilograms.

Yan Jiecheng was very excited as he did not expect to get results so soon.

He finally caught a big one, he probably couldn't let it get away.

Yan Jiecheng used techniques, pulling in and releasing the fish, to continuously wear down the fish's strength.

After a while, when the fish is completely exhausted, start reeling in the line.

After another extreme pull, he successfully caught a big fish on the shore.

Yan Jiecheng immediately caught the fish and put it into a bucket nearby.

Judging from his experience, his previous estimate was correct. This big fish must weigh three or four pounds, enough for their family of seven...

I guess it will be gone in one meal.

Yan Jiecheng felt like vomiting when he thought about the fish he had worked so hard to catch falling into those people's mouths.

Put on the bait and throw the hook into the water again.

In the next few hours, no big fish were caught, only a few palm-sized crucian carp.

You can make a pot of crucian carp soup, the white fish soup, it must taste delicious.

Near noon, Yan Jiecheng packed up his equipment, carried his fishing gear and carried a bucket of water and started walking back.

After walking a short distance, I saw a green car parked on the side of the road, just like the cars driven by officers on the battlefield in anti-Japanese dramas.

Looking at the car, Yan Jiecheng felt like he saw his own brother and suddenly felt itchy to try his hand at it.

However, he also knew that if someone could use a car to get around these days, he must be of high status and not someone that an ordinary person like him could afford to offend.

There were two people standing next to the car.

A middle-aged man wearing glasses and a neat Zhongshan suit, his brows slightly furrowed, his expression deep and serious.

Doing nothing but standing there, the aura of superiority emanating from his whole body is impossible to ignore.

This guy is obviously a leader.

Standing next to him was a young man wearing glasses. He had a gentle temperament and looked like a scholar. He was anxiously talking to the middle-aged man.

Wang Shuwen said in annoyance: "The car broke down at a really bad time. It's almost noon, and the leaders are probably waiting anxiously without knowing our situation."

Li Zhengdong said calmly: "There's nothing we can do about it. Hey, I told you I didn't want this thing, but you insisted on giving it to me. Yes, it's very useful for transportation, but it's also expensive.

Not only does he need someone to take care of him, but he also has a bad temper and quits from time to time, which makes things very difficult for us."

Li Zhengdong is the Minister of Industry, an old revolutionary. Although he holds a high position, he is not arrogant at all and speaks in a witty and humorous manner.

Wang Shuwen is his secretary, a top student who graduated from a prestigious university.

Li Zhengdong's humorous tone made Wang Shuwen laugh.

"Your status is different now. You can't ride a bicycle when you go out. The industry in the country is booming now. As the chief helmsman, you can't ride a bicycle to pull this big ship forward, right?"

Li Zhengdong was stunned for a moment, then pointed at Wang Shuwen and laughed, "Good boy, you are actually teasing me."

Wang Shuwen also laughed.

After laughing, Li Zhengdong felt a little lonely again.

Staring at the car in front of him, he said: "We are stumped by just one car. Our country still has a long way to go."
