Siheyuan: The Qing Dynasty is back

Chapter 120: Outsmarting Yan Bugui

When he was almost at his doorstep, He Daqing found a large basket from the space and put some of the seafood he had collected from the sea into it.

These seafoods are much better than those sent by fishermen. Not only are they large in size, but they are also delicious. The hairtail that Yu Shui wants and the sea cucumber that Sha Zhu wants are indispensable.

He Daqing tied the basket to the back of the bicycle and wrapped it with some coarse cloth, and then pushed the bicycle into the courtyard.

As soon as I reached the door, I saw Yan Bugui walking out carrying a bucket and a fishing rod.

He also saw He Daqing, and even more so, he saw the bamboo basket behind He Daqing's bicycle.

So Yan Bugui hurried forward and asked, "Daqing, when did you come back? I heard from Zhuzi that you were on a business trip?"

Looking at Yan Bugui whose eyes were rolling around, He Daqing didn't want to pay any attention to him.

He nodded and said, "Yeah, I'm back."

After saying that, he walked straight inside without stopping.

Who is Yan Bugui? How could he let go of such a good opportunity?

He hurriedly caught up with me and asked, "Daqing, where did you go on this business trip? What's in this basket?"

He Daqing had no choice but to continue to perfunctorily answer, "I'm on a business trip nearby, not far away."

Then he said, "Old Yan, what time is it now? Why are you back so early instead of in school? Did you skip classes again? Be careful or I'll go to school and tell your principal about it!"

Yan Bugui, who originally wanted to continue asking questions, was frightened by He Daqing's last few words and immediately swallowed the words in his mouth.

He replied awkwardly, "Well, I didn't have classes this afternoon, so I came back a little early. I thought given our relationship, you wouldn't go and tell tales over such a small matter, right?"

He Daqing said righteously: "Old Yan, I have to criticize you for this. What do you mean by such a small matter? Is the education of children a small matter?"

"Even great men have said that education is the foundation of a century-long plan! Do you have any opinion on what great men said? Is this something an educator can say?"

He Daqing's words frightened Yan Bugui, and he quickly explained: "No, absolutely not. Daqing! I have no opinion on the words of the great man. This time it is my fault. I apologize to you! This word must not be spread out, if it is heard by others, it will cost me my life, right?"

He Daqing said earnestly, "Alas! Old Yan. You are lucky to have met me. We have been together for so many years, and I will not push you into a dead end."

"But you must be careful about what you say and do in the future. What if someone with ulterior motives overhears you? They are not as easy to talk to as I am."

At this time, Yan Bugui nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"Daqing, I know you are a good person. I won't say anything else. Just wait. I will catch some fish and send them to your house."

After saying that, he turned and walked out the door.

He Daqing hurriedly shouted: "Old Yan, I......"

Yan Bugui didn't even turn his head and shouted directly: "Okay, Daqing, I understand what you mean. Wait for the fish!"

After saying that, he disappeared.

What He Daqing actually wanted to say was that he already had a basket full of fish, so who would care about your few thumb-sized fish?

But Yan Bugui had already left, so He Daqing could only sigh and push his bicycle home.

When she got home, Chen Xueru was doing needlework while listening to the radio.

He Yushui, this mischievous guy, held a pen in his hand, looked at a book, and listened to the crosstalk on the radio motionlessly.

He Daqing saw this and said with a smile, "Hey, Yu Shui is so serious today! It seems that there will be no problem with the exam this year, right?"

He Daqing's voice immediately woke the two people who were in deep thought.

When He Yushui saw He Daqing, he immediately put down the book in his hand, rushed over, pulled his arm and said, "Dad, I missed you so much these days. I didn't expect you to make fun of me as soon as you came back. I will never talk to you again."

Chen Xueru also put down the needlework in her hands and came over to say, "Are you tired these days? Your clothes look dirty. Hurry up and change them so I can wash them for you."

He Daqing smiled and touched He Yushui's head, then said to Chen Xueru, "I am a little tired. I was almost shaken to pieces by the car all the way."

"I'll put my things in the kitchen, and then I'll go wash and change my clothes."

He Yushui hurriedly shouted, "Dad, did you bring my favorite hairtail? If you didn't bring it, I will really ignore you."

He Daqing said unhappily, "I brought it. How could I forget what our Yu Shui asked me to do? I brought you a lot this time. You can eat more when the time comes."

When He Yushui heard this, he immediately said happily: "Okay, I'll go and help you."

After saying that, he pulled He Daqing outside to move things.

When she saw a basket full of various seafood, some of which she had never seen before, He Yushui asked curiously, "Dad, there are so many? Are these all edible?"

He Daqing saw that she was pointing at oysters and crabs, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, of course, everything I can bring back is edible. I will make sure you want to eat more when the time comes."

Hearing what He Daqing said, He Yushui was also looking forward to it. She knew that since her father could speak, he must be good.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help swallowing her saliva and hurriedly helped He Daqing move the bamboo basket to the kitchen.

It was still early, so He Daqing took a shower and then went back to the bedroom to rest.

Chen Xueru and Yu Shui were afraid of disturbing He Daqing's rest, so they took the radio with them and went to Yu Shui's room to continue listening.

In order to go home early to learn the craft from He Daqing, Sha Zhu ran to say hello to Director Huang before getting off work, saying that he had something to do and needed to go back with Yu Li.

Director Huang had just received seafood from He Daqing today, and since Sha Zhu had been relatively safe during this period, he agreed without thinking.

So Sha Zhu took Yu Li, moved the seafood out of He Daqing's office, and left the steel mill.

Seeing so many seafood, Yu Li was even more grateful to He Daqing. She thought to herself that she must be filial to her parents-in-law in the future. Such good parents-in-law are really hard to find.

On the way, Sha Zhu and Yu Li roughly divided the things. Only after Sha Zhu insisted did Yu Li divide it into two equal parts.

According to Yu Li, Hu Sihai is both Sha Zhu's master and He Daqing's senior brother. Besides, he is a chef and can cook seafood, so he should get more.

I don’t really know how to cook seafood at home, so just take a little to try.

But Shazhu was a bit stupid. Since his father hadn't said who had more and who had less, the two families had to divide it equally. Otherwise, what would he do if his father found out and punished him?

So the two of them roughly divided it equally. Of course, some of the things that were easier to make were given more to Yu Li's family.

Then Shazhu rode his bike to his master's house first.
