Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

Chapter 35 Fishing at Shichahai

The news that He Yuzhu was going on a blind date soon reached Xu Damao's ears.

As He Yuzhu's lifelong enemy, Xu Damao could never let He Yuzhu get his wish.

If there is a blind date, it is Xu Damao who goes first.

If anyone wants to get married, it will be Xu Damao who gets married first.

If he wants to have a baby, it will be his wife, Mr. Xu Damao.

In short, Xu Damao must be ahead of He Yuzhu in everything.

If the original drama had developed as it did, Xu Damao would have been superior to He Yuzhu in every aspect.

He Yuzhu and Qin Jingru went on a blind date, but Xu Damao intercepted them and slept with them.

He Yuzhu and Yu Haitang went on a blind date, but Xu Damao intercepted them and almost slept with them.

The woman who gave birth to He Yuzhu's child was someone Xu Damao had slept with.

The woman who married He Yuzhu was someone Xu Damao had played with before.

Looking at it from another angle, except for his inability to have children, Xu Damao is also a complete defeat to Sha Zhu.

After Xu Damao got the news, he paced back and forth in the room, thinking about how to ruin He Yuzhu's marriage.

Early the next morning, Wang Jianjun packed up his things, carrying his fishing rod and bucket and went to the front yard.

Because it was Sunday, the men in the yard rarely had a chance to sleep in, and basically only the women were seen getting up to cook.

When Wang Jianjun passed by the Intermediate Courtyard, he happened to meet Sha Zhu who was going out with a flashy hairstyle.

The shiny hair made Wang Jianjun couldn't help but take a few more glances.

How much hair oil must have been applied to achieve this effect? ​​It's almost reflecting light.

Noticing Wang Jianying's look, Sha Zhu touched his newly made hairstyle and said proudly:

"How about it? My hairstyle is nice, isn't it? Let me tell you, I'm going on a blind date today. The girl I'm going on a blind date with is not only pretty but also has a formal job. Most importantly, she has a city hukou. As long as I can show off my cooking skills today, the marriage will be successful."

Wang Jianjun was somewhat isolated in the courtyard, so he didn't know about this.

He looked at Sha Zhu with some pity and said calmly:

"Oh, I wish you success then."

After saying that, he walked towards the front yard without even raising his head.

Sha Zhu was confused by Wang Jianjun's words.

Isn't this a wrong reaction?

And what does that expression mean?

Shouldn't you say a few sarcastic words out of envy?

Shazhu was a little confused, but if he couldn't figure it out, he decided not to think about it.

Anyway, He Yuzhu will soon have a wife and children and a warm bed, and Wang Jianjun can only watch.

He Yuzhu, in a good mood, saw an old lady coming out to cook and approached her cheerfully, saying:

"Auntie, don't cook for lunch. You and Uncle come to my house for lunch. Remember to bring the old lady with you."

"Okay, Zhuzi, an auntie will come and help you later."

The aunt had heard Yi Zhonghai talk about this a long time ago, and she nodded happily in agreement.

When Wang Jianjun arrived at the front yard, Yan Bugui had just gotten up and was packing his things.

Yan Bugui is holding the same fishing equipment as Wang Jianjun.

A fishing rod, a bucket, a small stool and a straw hat for sun protection.

Just after they finished packing their things, they saw Sha Zhu walking out of the courtyard in a hurry.

"I just heard that this idiot Zhu had a blind date at noon. He must have gone to the market to buy vegetables. It is said that the girl is good-looking and pretty."

Wang Jianjun had nothing to do, so he talked about this with Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui shook his head and said:

"I heard about it yesterday, but I don't think it will work."

"Oh? What do you mean, Uncle?"

"If the conditions are really that good, how could a girl like Shazhu be interested in him?"

Yan Bugui didn't have a good impression of Sha Zhu.

As the manager of the courtyard, Sha Zhu's attitude towards Yi Zhonghai is completely different from his attitude towards him.

So later, when Sha Zhu asked Yan Bugui to introduce Teacher Ran to him, Yan Bugui only accepted the gift and did not do anything.

Wang Jianjun didn't care about this matter.

Now that Jia Dongxu is still here, Qin Huairu will not cause trouble.

But it is certain that this marriage with Shazhu will not work out.

By then, either he will look down on the other person, or the other person will look down on him.

While they were talking, the two of them left the courtyard.

There are only two places where you can fish near Nanluoguxiang.

One is Shichahai and the other is Beihai Park.

This time Yan Bugui went to Shichahai.

It was not far from where they lived, only two or three miles away.

When the two arrived, there were already quite a few fishermen taking up seats.

In later generations, fishing is not allowed in Shichahai and Beihai Park.

But this era doesn’t care about these things.

As long as you are not here to cast a net to catch fish, basically no one will care about you.

Yan Bugui skillfully found a shady place, put down a small stool, put on a straw hat, and started to put bait on the rod and cast.

The bait is earthworms dug up on the way here.

As for making a nest, it doesn't exist at all.

There is not enough food to eat, so how can we afford to feed the fish?

People in later generations fished for fun, but in this era, they fish for a place to have enough food and clothing.

The fish caught by Yan Bugui are all sold to nearby buyers.

Buyers from many units would wait nearby to purchase goods from the fishermen.

The price is reasonable, about 30 cents per pound of fish.

The main reason is that fish is not as delicious as pork, beef and mutton.

Moreover, cooking fish requires more oil, and meat does not have much oil.

The smell is still strong even without enough ingredients.

Wang Jianjun caught a lot of fish yesterday, so today's fishing was purely for fun.

Wang Jianjun found a deserted place as the fishing spot, but he didn't make any bait as he didn't want to attract attention.

After hanging the earthworm, cast the rod and then just fish as the mood takes.

He observed the people around him with great interest.

In many courtyard novels, the protagonist will definitely encounter a hidden boss whenever he goes fishing.

Then show off your fishing skills in front of the big guy, catch a few big fish and give them to him, so that you can show off and win his favor at the same time.

Then, you get to know an even bigger boss through the boss, and finally, with the support of the big boss, you reach the peak of your life.

Wang Jianjun didn't intend to curry favor with any big shot; he was simply curious.

He gave up after just one look.

From the clothes and faces of those who come here to fish, you can tell they are ordinary people who don’t have enough food to eat.

There is no such person who wears a Zhongshan suit and has an extraordinary aura.

Come to think of it, those big guys have fought wars and handled guns all their lives, how could they turn to fishing after retirement?

Even if I really have nothing to do, it would be more comfortable to organize a group of people to go hunting in Yanshan than to sit here and bask in the sun.

Thinking about all these messy things in his mind, Wang Jianjun almost didn’t notice that there was a fish on the hook.

I quickly reeled in the rod and found out it was a bighead carp.

The fish is not big, probably only about half a pound.

Fortunately, it’s not the Air Force.

Throw the lively fish into the bucket, put the bait back on and cast the rod.

The first fish caught attracted the envy of the surrounding anglers.

Wang Jianjun has triggered the novice protection.

Because Shichahai is frequented by anglers all year round, big fish are basically extinct and there are not many small fish left.

For example, Yan Bugui can catch a fish weighing three or four kilograms in a day if he is lucky.

If you are unlucky, air force is also common.

However, the novice protection period is time-limited. After the first fish is hooked, no fish will bite for a long time.

Seeing that more and more people came, Wang Jianjun and Yan Bugui said hello and prepared to change the fishing spot.

With so many people coming here to fish, there may be more people than fish.

But after Wang Jianjun took a round, he found that the place Yan Bugui went to at the beginning was the best.

Not only are there big trees for shade, but the fishing area is also spacious.

None of the other fishing spots are as good as the one we just had.

But when Wang Jianjun returned, his land had already been occupied by someone else.

Well, it seems that I can’t catch this fish today.

After saying hello to Yan Bugui, he prepared to leave.

As for the third uncle, he prepared dry food and was ready to fight until the afternoon.
