Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

More than three hours passed quickly, and the harvest was not much. The few people only shot ten wild ducks and one goose.

He Lai gave Widow Dong and her husband a big goose and two wild ducks, and then parted ways with them. After all, He Lai planned to go fishing in the afternoon, and the harvest would be little after all.

Widow Dong naturally had no objection. After all, it was He Lai who shot the goose, and now that it was given to her, she could be considered a great bargain.

He Lai and his three companions started fishing by the lake.

"Haha, Xiao Laizi, you haven't gone fishing with us for a long time. I remember when we were little, we dealt with fish every day! Fishing, selling fish, buying vegetables, eating, it was really fun back then!"

Sha Zhu smiled and missed that time very much.

"Why, Brother Zhuzi is unhappy now? My sister-in-law will probably be upset if she hears it."

He Lai responded.

"I didn't say I'm unhappy now! Don't say that in front of your sister-in-law."

Sha Zhu immediately became anxious.

"Brother Zhuzi, you are now the father of four children! Three more than Brother Damao! The He family has grown into a large family, so you should be content!"

He Lai smiled.

"I'm not unhappy, but I realized when I grew up that raising four children is so difficult. Every day I have to work and take care of the children. I can't sleep well! Oh, it's so tiring!"

Sha Zhu sighed.

"Hey, He Yuzhu, why are you showing off? Four children is a big deal. My wife and I can have another one soon."

Xu Damao interrupted.

"Give birth to the baby, give birth to the baby, I won't tire you to death!" Sha Zhu didn't even argue with Xu Damao.

"Even if you die, I won't! I run every day now. I can run 10,000 meters in one breath without even taking a breath. My lung capacity is very good!"

Xu Damao said proudly.

"Tsk... you feel superior just because you're running. If you have the guts, run back to Sijiu City from Wild Duck Lake and I'll respect you!" Sha Zhu said disdainfully.

……

He Lai smiled and said nothing.

But parents in this era are really like cattle and horses! Almost as long as the woman can bear children, she will give birth as much as she wants. Most families have five or six children, and some even have more than ten!

Fortunately, there are subsidies for having children now. For each child, you will get two kilograms of eggs, two kilograms of pork, and two kilograms of brown sugar! This is already a good treatment, after all, it is an era without meat.

There are many priority policies for pregnant women, and things like eggs are supplied to pregnant women first.

Babies are also given milk certificates, two bottles a day, one bottle a day when they are one year old, and a little milk powder is mixed in.

Families with babies can get a milk powder ticket and a baby sugar ticket, and use the tickets to buy one kilogram of milk powder and two kilograms of brown sugar at designated stores.

Milk substitute powder is made by mixing soybean powder, rice powder and some milk powder.

Brown sugar is a type of Cuban sugar.

"Cuban sugar" is the sugar imported from Cuba. It is a kind of coarse sugar, which is unrefined raw sugar with low purity, many impurities, high water content and light yellow color. After processing, its color and taste are similar to brown sugar.

Yu Shui leaned on He Lai and watched Sha Zhu and Xu Damao arguing with each other.

Soon the time was almost up, and He Lai and his companions packed up their things and prepared to leave.

The catch was good, with many black carp, catfish, and a few black carp and herring. I estimate that the three of us caught nearly 150 kilograms.

He Lai also generously shared some with Widow Dong and Widow Han. After all, there were plenty of fish in He Lai's space, and he mostly came out to accompany a few people to get some fresh air.

When He Lai and his companions arrived at the station, they found that Jia Dongxu and his wife and Yan Fugui and his son had already arrived.

He looked at Yan Fugui, who looked exhausted, dirty and wet, and had obviously suffered a lot. He then looked at Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang, who were fine, except that their trouser legs and sleeves were a little wet, but he didn't see anything he had gained! Could it be that they were air force?

Jia Dongxu had a smile on his face. It seemed that the couple had picked up a lot of wild duck eggs.

Although He Lai was very curious about what happened, he did not go up to ask.

Judging from Jia Dongxu's appearance, he should know something. Let me make a blind guess.

Yan Fugui and his son followed Jia Dongxu and his wife into the reed marsh. Yan Fugui must have sunk into the mud. After being rescued by his two sons, he never dared to go in again.

Along the way, Sha Zhu and Xu Damao were sitting there whispering, and one could tell at a glance that they were talking about Yan Fugui. After all, there weren't many people they could discuss calmly with, and the Yan family was definitely one of them.

He Lai and his companions took a car back to the courtyard, sold some fish to the people in the courtyard at a low price, and then took a rest.

However, the affairs of the Yan family were still spread, and the news was naturally spread by Jia Zhang.

Ever since Jia Zhang learned that Yan Fugui, Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang had snatched wild duck eggs from her son and daughter-in-law, she became extremely furious, so she told the story in the courtyard with exaggeration.

The cause was naturally that Yan Fugui and his son followed Jia Dongxu and his wife into the reed marsh, and because they were not familiar with the terrain, they did not go too far.

As a result, Jia Dongxu and Yan Fugui discovered a nest of wild duck eggs at the same time and ran towards it together. Yan Fugui did not pay attention to his feet and accidentally fell into the quagmire. Fortunately, Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang were not far away. When they heard Yan Fugui's cry, they quickly pulled him up. Yan Fugui almost died in it.

Now Yan Fugui and his son no longer dared to enter the reed marsh.

Everyone in the hospital was laughing at the Yan family. They dared to do anything reckless the first time they entered the reed marsh. They really wanted to die!

Yan Family

Yan Fugui is still a little frightened. After all, he almost died. He sank very quickly into the quagmire. When Yan Jiecheng and two others arrived, only his head and hands were left outside.

This trip to Wild Duck Lake not only did they not gain anything, with only Yan Jiecheng finding five wild duck eggs, but they also lost most of their money and tickets, which made Yan Fugui very distressed.

Although he was pulled out of the mud in time, Yan Fugui's clothes were covered in mud and were completely wet.

As soon as he got ashore, Yan Fugui quickly took out the money and bills on his body. Some of the money and bills on the surface had been rotten and could not be used. Fortunately, Yan Fugui wrapped them with a piece of cloth, otherwise he would have lost a lot of money and belongings.

Yan Fugui didn't care about his clothes and immediately spread the money on the ground and put them up to dry. Yan Jiefang was left to look at the money on the ground, while Yan Fugui and Yan Jiecheng went to the river to wash it.

Unfortunately, it seemed as if God was playing a big joke on the Yan family. For some unknown reason, after a while, a strong wind suddenly blew up and blew all the money on the ground by Yan Fugui into the air and scattered it all at once. Yan Jiefang had no choice but to pick up the fallen money while calling out to Yan Fugui and Yan Jiecheng.

The incident ended here. Yan Fugui suffered heavy losses, including ten yuan, fifty-six cents and five kilograms of fine grain coupons. Yan Fugui had originally planned to find an opportunity to exchange these fine grain coupons for coarse grain coupons.

"Oh, I shouldn't have gone, I shouldn't have gone, where's my money and ticket!"

Yan Fugui sighed heavily again.

"I told you not to go, don't go, but you insisted on going. It's not easy to get there. Now you've brought back five wild duck eggs, but you've lost so much money." Yan Jiefang said.

"Why do you say that about your father? Your father is doing this for this family!"

The third aunt was unhappy. Although Yan Fugui lost money, she cared more about Yan Fugui's life!

"Alas, it really is like when it rains it pours, the ship is late and there is a headwind. Today is really a bad day."

Yan Fugui still regrets it.

"Dad, it's good that you're okay. Let's just live a peaceful life from now on and not worry about anything else." Hu Xia spoke to comfort him at this time.

Hu Xia now understands the style of her father-in-law Yan Fugui. Apart from the fact that he deducts a little bit, a little bit, and a little bit, and cannot calculate outsiders, and is always thinking about how to calculate his own family, he is actually a good person, at least on the surface.

According to Yan Jiecheng, his father actually had a lot of money but just refused to take it out.

After all, after Yan Fugui educated them last time, Yan Jiecheng also carefully calculated their monthly expenses and found that it was far from the number Yan Fugui said.

"Dad knows. I'm going to sleep first. You guys should go to bed early too. A-choo!"

After Yan Fugui finished speaking, he sneezed violently.

"Old man, don't catch a cold. Drink some hot water quickly, or you will have to spend money on medical treatment."

The third aunt quickly handed over the hot water and said.

Yan Fugui also nodded and started drinking quickly.

After all, it was still quite cold in the city in May. Although I was wearing a piece of Yan Jiecheng's underwear, I still caught a cold and it was possible that I might really catch a cold.

Just like that, today's farce ended.
