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

The night falls.

The aroma of fish wafted from the kitchen and through the porch, like a seductive goblin wandering wantonly in the yard.

The whole courtyard was filled with the aroma of fish.

The third uncle's family lives in the front yard, so people coming and going have to pass by here and inevitably smell the fish fragrance.

Everyone resisted their eagerness and speculated about what good things had happened to the Third Uncle's family.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be a festival, and with Uncle Sanshu's stingy personality, how could he be willing to buy a fish? No, he probably didn't buy it, because who knows where he got it from.

The third uncle's hands were so tight that they were almost united. If anything slipped out of his hands, it would be like the end of him.

Yu Li and the three aunts were busy in the kitchen.

Yan Jiekuang stood at the kitchen door, staring at the pot expectantly, his throat surging with saliva that could probably fill a teacup.

The others sat in the living room.

Yan Jiecheng was born in the modern society, where delicious food is no longer a rarity. He just found the expressions on the faces of the three people around him funny.

He found it hard to believe that an ordinary fish could make people of this era so uneasy.

Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiedi were extremely upset and had long regretted making the bet with Yan Jiekuang.

This fish is so delicious.

They can only smell the food but not eat it. Isn't this going to kill them?

Yan Fugui was much calmer than the two siblings. He held a newspaper in his hand with no expression on his face.

But his slightly trembling ears and eyes that were not focused on the newspaper at all betrayed his inner thoughts.

Yan Jiecheng has been upset these days because of having to deal with such a family, but at this moment he suddenly found it quite interesting.

There is a saying.

Fighting with the sky, fighting with the earth, fighting with people, the fun is endless.

He had already vaguely understood the meaning of these words.

After much anticipation from everyone, the fish was finally served on the table.

In order to make the fish delicious, Auntie added a little more oil.

The orange-yellow skin shone with oil, and the fish aroma penetrated into the pores of everyone present along with the heat, and not only the body and mind, but also the soul seemed to be hooked away.

Everyone sat down, holding chopsticks in their hands, stretching their necks, staring at the fish on the plate, like warriors ready to charge.

They are waiting for the general's orders.

But the general didn't seem to be in a hurry and closed the newspaper slowly.

Yan Jiefang, the number one assault soldier, could no longer hold back and reminded him, "Dad, stop looking, it's time to eat."

This old man is really good at pretending. He has read the newspaper eight hundred times. Every time something happens, he will hold the newspaper in front of him to hide his inner unrest.

The newspaper is also wronged to have to deal with such a boss.

General Yan looked at Yan Jiefang expressionlessly and finally gave the order.

"Let's eat!"

After receiving the order, everyone showed surprise on their faces, and several pairs of chopsticks attacked the fish together like long guns and short cannons.

However, Yan Xiao, the most courageous member of the assault army, did not move his chopsticks, but stared at Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiedi.

The moment they attacked, he covered the fish with his hands to block the attack of both men.

I didn't catch the fish, but I poked a pair of chubby little hands.

Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiedi's faces immediately turned dark, and they looked up at the owner of the chubby hand angrily.

When they met a pair of slightly narrowed eyes and an expression that said "I'm staring at you", the two of them suddenly thought of something, feeling guilty and a little angry at the same time.

Yan Jiekuang: "Second brother, third sister, what are you doing? You said at the beginning that you would not eat a single bite of the fish that eldest brother caught. Do you want to go back on your word?"

Damn kid!

The two of them were gritting their teeth in hatred in their hearts, but they could only put on a flattering expression on their faces.

They knew that whether they could have a bite of fish today depended on whether this kid would let go.

Yan Jiedi said with a smile: "Fourth brother, Third sister was just joking with you before."

She endured it for a bite of fish, but she could not endure this hatred.

When Yan Jiefang heard this, he also said: "Yes, Lao Si, the second brother is also joking with you. The second brother just wants to test the weight of the eldest brother in you.

As expected, our Jie Kuang is a good boy who completely trusted his elder brother and did not disappoint us. This matter is over. Fourth brother, please take your hands away from him. The fish will not taste good if it gets cold. "

Yan Jiefang wanted to get away with it, but it was obvious that Yan Jiekuang didn't buy it.

"Brother, you think I'm a three-year-old kid. You swore in front of our parents that you wouldn't eat fish. Are you bullying a child? The teacher said that people should not go back on their words. Dad, you are a teacher too, please give us your opinion."

Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiedi were so angry that they gnashed their teeth.

This damn kid was really not beaten enough in the past, so he developed this dog-like nature of guarding his food.

Although he hated him in his heart, he didn't dare to do anything to him and could only turn his hope to the notary Yan Fugui.

Thinking about how he had calmed Yu Li during the day, preventing the old man from embarrassing himself in front of the neighbors, and helping him come up with ideas to solve the eldest son's employment problem.

Yan Jiefang felt that the old man would definitely be on his side.

But he forgot about Yan Lao's stingy nature.

"Dad, we were just joking with the fourth child. How could we really ask him to clean for us? Look, this child took it seriously. He started a fight with his older brothers and sisters. He is so childish."

Yan Jie Di also frowned and lectured: "That's right. Fourth child, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but respecting the old and loving the young is a traditional virtue. You disrespected your brothers and sisters for a fish. Is this what your teachers at school taught you?"

Yan Jiekuang’s eyes widened and his face turned red with anger.

It was clearly my second brother and third sister who did not keep their promise, but how come I am the one being disrespectful to my older brothers and sisters?

"Third sister, you... you are a pig who turns the tables. How could I be disrespectful to my brothers and sisters? Didn't you say that you would not eat the fish caught by my eldest brother?"

Yan Jiedi was furious, "You little bastard, who do you say is Zhu Bajie..."

Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, the third aunt hurried out to stop them, "Alright, alright, stop it. Fourth child, your brothers and sisters said they were joking with you, why are you still holding on to it? We are all family, there is no need to take it so seriously."

Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiedi were delighted, "That's right."

Yan Jiekuang didn't expect his mother to speak up for his older brother and sister, and he felt a little aggrieved. "Mom, it's obviously my second brother and third sister..."

"Humph!"

At this moment, Yan Fugui, who had been silent, spoke.

It’s such a big fish, if there’s one less person eating it, I can have a few more bites.

Of course, I didn't punish the second and third brothers just to have an extra bite of fish. I was completely on the side of justice.

"As the old saying goes, a man without integrity cannot stand. Second and third brothers, your mother and I heard you making a bet with the fourth brother.

How did I teach you? You should keep your word. You are my older brothers and sisters after all. It's ok if you don't set an example yourself, but why do you go back on your word and bully your younger brother?

You two really disappoint me by breaking your promise for a fish. I declare that you cannot eat this fish. Remember the lesson learned today and never make bets with others casually in the future. "

Some people were happy and some people hated Yan Fugui's righteous words.

The happy ones were naturally Yan Jiekuang and of course Yu Li. Having two less people to share meant they could eat more.

"Dad, you are so wise. You are really the fairest person in our family."

Yan Jiekuang was happy.

The ones I hate are Yan Jiedi and Yan Jiefang.

Especially Yan Jiefang, who cursed Yan Fugui in his heart for being ungrateful and abandoning him after he had done his job. This one move exposed his true nature.
