Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

Chapter 48 Fishermen

We only caught three crucian carps. I should have taken some loaches. Fortunately, Mr. Zhou was kind enough to give us a black carp. The three of us then prepared to leave and go to Mr. Zhang's place.

Soon the two of them collected the fish and went back.

A total of one black carp, eight crucian carps, one black carp and one mandarin fish were caught. Let's go home.

When I returned to the courtyard, I found that Sha Zhu had come back. He saw He Lai going fishing and tricked him away, and he looked very resentful.

"Brother Zhuzi, it's only two or three o'clock, why are you back?"

"My master was at work and couldn't leave, so he inspected my cooking skills and asked me to bring my wife back."

"You came back when I told you to?"

"if not?"

"Can't you go to your master's wife's house and have a visit?"

"Forehead."

"You don't even know where your master's wife's home is."

"I…"

"You're not eager to come back soon!"

"Uh..." How did he know I was thinking that?

"If I were Master Hu, I would expel you from my sect!"

"... "

"Okay, don't embarrass your brother Zhuzi."

"Okay, mother!"

"roll!"

"Can you take the rain with you?"

……

"How about it?" Uncle Li pointed at the parts on the ground.

"This bamboo chair is nice, big enough for three or four people to sit on. We can put a blanket on it when the time comes. Very good, let's assemble it. When the rain stops, we'll carry it out."

He Lai and Yu Shui came in carrying a bamboo chair. "Brother Zhuzi, stop being in a daze and help carry the things."

"Here I come. Hi, such a big bamboo chair! Why does it have no legs?"

"Go to Uncle Li's house and get something."

In this way, the assembly was completed in a grand manner. The tripod is stable, the large roof is rainproof, and the 8 thick ropes, three on each side and two in the middle, are not afraid of breaking, perfect.

He Lai went into the room and took out a small quilt. Regardless of Wu Juan's scary look, he placed the quilt on the bamboo chair and folded it in half to make it just the right thickness.

"Yushui, come and sit with Brother Lai."

Xiao Yushui also sat up.

"Brother Zhuzi, it's your turn."

"okay."

"What are you doing? What are you doing?"

"I told you to push, I told you to push." He Lai quickly stopped Sha Zhu. Xiao Yushui giggled.

Sha Zhu was so embarrassed that he pushed the swing aside. The laughter of the two attracted people in the backyard, who all said that the swing was really nice.

"Wife, hurry up and I'll push you." Sha Zhu stopped. Qin Huairu sat down in the rain shyly.

Sha Zhu started pushing hard again. He Lai decided to read on this swing from now on.

Everyone tried it and thought it was pretty good. When it was Shazhu's turn to sit on it, Xu Damao deliberately rocked it very high and almost fell, which made everyone laugh. After playing around, everyone went back to their homes to cook.

Sha Zhu and his family were having dinner at He Lai's house. Sha Zhu did Hehe!

"I want a yard, too, wife."

"It's not easy to get a yard. I have plenty of yards in my hometown in the countryside! Do you want one?"

"No more, no more!"

He Lai sneaked to Li Dawa's house and paid 15 yuan.

While eating, Wu Juan said to He Lai: "Go wash the quilt cover for me later! See how capable you are."

He Lai pulled Xiao Yushui over and nodded towards Qin Huairu. Xiao Yushui immediately understood, ran to Qin Huairu and called her sister-in-law, and directly let Qin Huairu take over the responsibility of washing the quilt covers.

After all, it's a washing machine, so it's not too much to help Xiao Yushui wash the quilt cover! I think everyone will have no objection.

He Lai asked his mother to help make a few cushions, and Wu Juan immediately offered a low price of 100,000 yuan each. There was no way, Wu Juan would not buy these unnecessary things!

There was no way to continue pulling Xiao Yushui over and blinking. Xiao Yushui called her sister-in-law again, successfully getting Qin Huairu to agree, and following He Lai's suggestion, she bought cotton from the textile factory to make it.

Shazhu was now a food-drying machine, and he almost finished all the fish by himself. He and Xiaoyushui signaled again, and the two began to attack Shazhu's chopsticks and won the final victory.

Take a shower and go to bed. I must capture my beloved concubine today. I love beauty more than the broken kingdom!

……

The next day, Xu Damao came in early in the morning, but Wu Juan hadn't gotten up yet.

He Lai was also dragged up by Xu Damao. There was nothing he could do as making money was more important. He Lai put on the bait in a daze and set off with Xu Damao. He found that it was much earlier than usual.

"Brother Damao, what are you doing so early?" He Lai said while chewing a steamed bun.

"Hey, I took two days off, and I'm back to work today."

"You got up early so you can lie down for a while. Have you considered my feelings? Have you considered Grandpa Zhang's feelings?"

"Well, don't I think the sooner we leave, the sooner we'll be done?"

"Do you think Grandpa Zhang is waiting for you? He has to collect the fish in the morning, too, okay?"

"what is it now?"

"Go help Grandpa Zhang with his work!"

……

"Hey, why are you here so early today? I haven't sorted the fish yet."

"We are here to help you, Grandpa Zhang!"

"How do we divide it? You say we should do it?"

"Just sort the fish and put the miscellaneous fish aside."

"it is good!"

Xu Damao and He Lai started fishing, and soon they had more than a dozen bags filled. Old Man Zhang really had a lot of fish. After all, fish were more active at night, so Old Man Zhang had more hooks.

They finished quickly and the bait was set, and He Lai left with Xu Damao.

"Why, Brother Damao is jealous?"

"A little bit. How come he has so many goods?"

"Because hooks are more useful than nets. Haven't you noticed that the fishermen are very nice to us?"

"Seems to be."

"That's because we introduced row hooks to them. It saves time and effort, and there are more fish. They don't have to worry about catching small fish. In the past, they had to use fishing nets, which was very busy every day. They washed the nets, repaired the nets, and dried the nets. Now with it, they have saved a lot of trouble."

"Xiao Laizi, you are a really good person."

"Brother Damao, don't be jealous of them because they are making money now. In fact, it has only been one or two years since the founding of New China. If you think about their lives in the past, you won't be jealous. The fishermen now are all over 50 years old. When they make money, their descendants will inherit their fishing industry."

"Xiao Laizi, how do you know so much?"

"Brother Damao, you didn't listen when Grandpa Zhang said that, but you would understand even if you did! As soon as you got on the boat, your mind was entirely on the fish."

“Hey, I’ll listen to it next time.”

"Brother Damao, look, I'm the first person to arrive at school!"

"Uh, it's okay, someone will be here soon."

"Okay, I'm leaving. Go lie down on the seat."

"Okay, I'll leave too."

……

"Brother, can you write my name on the next test?"

"Brother Jianguo, this is not possible."

"Then you should just call me Brother Jianguo!"

"Have you finished your homework?"

"No, come on, take it out quickly so I can copy it down. I'll collect it after the morning reading."

"Ten times, brother!"
