Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

In fact, ever since Lin Geng gave him a big catfish that day and casually mentioned his name and address, Lin Geng had put the matter behind him and almost forgot about it in the past few days. However, Old Liu remembered it. He had a good impression of Lin Geng and wanted to know about Lin Geng's situation, so he ordered someone to inquire about Lin Geng's situation.

Now his subordinates have found out about Lin Geng's background and current situation, and even what happened to Lin Geng some time ago. For this, Old Liu got very angry and almost called a leader in the public security system and the leader of the department in charge of martyrs' families, questioning them how they protected the martyrs' families.

But later I heard that Lin Geng was no pushover either. He was good at fighting and had pretty good skills. He beat up those beasts who bullied him. Although he forgave those bullies, he also extorted a large sum of money from them and did not suffer any loss.

So Old Liu didn't pursue the matter any further. After making a note of the incident, he went fishing every day when he had nothing to do, hoping to run into Lin Geng again and create an encounter. He didn't want to send someone to thank Lin Geng in person.

It was just that he hadn't met Lin Geng in the past few days. He only met Lin Geng again today and was very happy. After talking to Lin Geng for a few words, he found that Lin Geng was very mature and his conversation was quite extraordinary. He felt that Lin Geng was a good guy and liked him even more, so he suggested that Lin Geng call him uncle.

Lin Geng smiled and said: "Thank you Uncle Liu for your kindness. It's really a bad coincidence today. I promised to catch some fish for our colleagues in the street office and the police station to improve their lives. I will catch some fish today and send them to them!

Otherwise, let’s do it another day! I’ll come and bother you again when you have time!”

After hearing this, Old Liu frowned slightly. He was not angry because Lin Geng refused to go to his house with him to get to know each other, but he was wondering how could the street office and the police station let Lin Geng send them fish?

"How can the leaders of the street office and the police station be so ignorant that they ask you to deliver fish to them? Isn't this bullying you? If you have any grievances, just tell me and I will help you! Let's see who dares to bully you!" Old Liu said unhappily.

Lin Geng had already seen that this Uncle Liu must be of high status and might be a senior general in the army, otherwise he would not speak so arrogantly and would not take the leaders of the street office and the police station seriously at all.

So he quickly explained: "No, no! The leaders of the street office and the police station are all very nice to me. I see that they are very busy at work, very hard, and don't have much to eat. They all look unhappy, so I feel a little sorry for them who work day and night for us ordinary people!

I felt very sorry about it, so I took the initiative to offer them a few fish so that they could have a snack and replenish their nutrition. This would be a better service to us ordinary people, right?

They didn’t bully me by asking me for fish! And they also said that they would never take my fish for free, and would pay me for the fish I sent them! You can’t cause trouble for them! You really can’t blame them for this! Haha!”

After hearing Lin Geng's explanation, Lao Liu felt relieved. He took out a box of special cigarettes from his pocket, took out a cigarette and asked Lin Geng, "Boy, do you smoke?"

As soon as Lin Geng saw the white pack of cigarettes in his hand, he knew it must be good cigarettes, so he immediately piqued his interest and nodded quickly, "A little! I don't smoke a lot, just one cigarette once in a while!"

"You are so young, why are you learning to smoke? This is not a good habit! But since you know how to smoke, smoke less in the future! Here! This pack of cigarettes is for you! Try it, it's better than the usual cigarettes on the market!

Xiao Li, go get Xiao Lin a few more packs!" He threw the half pack of cigarettes in his hand to Lin Geng.

Lin Geng was quick to reach out and catch the cigarette thrown by Lao Liu. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Uncle Liu. You don't have to take it again. I have half a pack to try. If you get used to this kind of good cigarette, you won't be able to smoke economical cigarettes in the future! Hehe!

As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. I can't always shamelessly go to you for such good cigarettes, right? Haha!"

After hearing what Lin Geng said, Old Liu Lin Geng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt even more surprised. He didn't expect that Lin Geng, at such a young age, could understand such things and was not greedy at all. This showed that Lin Geng was very mature mentally and had a very good mentality. This was a great wisdom, and he was more insightful than many people who had lived for most of their lives.

"Well said! I really underestimated you! I didn't expect that you could have such a mentality at such a young age. It's really not easy! It shows that your mother has educated you very well! What a good mother!

Since you can think so open-mindedly, then if you have any problems in the future, remember to look for me, your uncle. Although I, your uncle Liu, am not a high-ranking official, I can still help you with some small favors!" Old Liu said with emotion, and then explained to Lin Geng.

Lin Geng nodded and agreed while fishing. The old and the young chatted about family matters and had a lot of fun. However, Lao Liu looked at Lin Geng catching fish one after another. How could this look like fishing? He and other fishermen were just fishing, but this guy was fishing as if he was buying goods from the river.

This made Old Liu very angry, and he kept complaining why the fish all went to eat Lin Geng's hook and why didn't they eat his hook?

Lin Geng smiled secretly in his heart, thinking that this bait of mine was specially formulated using the spiritual spring water from the small world. It is so attractive to fish that it is unimaginable.

You're sitting next to me, fishing with earthworms, aren't you asking for trouble? All these fish are coming for his bait, and he has this amazing fishing rod, if you can catch any fish, then you're in trouble.

Looking at Lao Liu sitting not far away, mumbling to himself, he was anxious but couldn't catch any fish. He got so angry that he lifted the rod from time to time and looked at the earthworm on the hook. He could see that Lao Liu was an impatient person and was really not suitable for fishing.

But then he thought again, if it was him sitting next to them, watching the guy next to him catch fish while his float didn't even move, he would be anxious too, so he couldn't help but said to Lao Liu: "Uncle Liu, try my bait! Maybe the fish don't like earthworms?"

At this time, Old Liu had been thinking about Lin Geng's bait. He also felt that earthworms did not seem to be very effective for fishing, while Lin Geng used a kind of dough bait that he seemed to have mixed himself, and he caught fish very quickly. He thought it must be a problem with the bait, but he was just too embarrassed to ask Lin Geng for it.

Now Lin Geng took the initiative to ask him to try Lin Geng's bait, so Lao Liu immediately stood up and ran over with great joy, took a piece of bait from Lin Geng's hand, and imitating Lin Geng's method, hung the bait on his own fishhook and threw it into the water.

After changing to Lin Geng's bait, Lao Liu saw his float suddenly pause, then move upwards, and then suddenly sink. He excitedly shook his hands and felt a heavy feeling on the fishing rod. He immediately shouted in joy: "Got it! Got a fish! Haha!"

As he said this, he began to pull the fishing rod, and sure enough, a big fish weighing two or three pounds appeared on the water surface. Old Liu was so happy that he didn't dare to use too much force for fear of breaking the fishing line and the fishing rod. He jumped up shouting and started playing with the fishing rod by the river, enjoying himself like a child.

The strong young man who followed him was also very happy. He quickly picked up the scoop net and ran to the water's edge to wait for Chief Lao Liu to pull the big fish to the river. After a lot of hard work, the two of them finally managed to catch the fish.

Old Liu was in a very good mood now, and even praised Lin Geng's bait, saying it was really good. He caught a fish just after casting the hook for a while. It seems that the fish here really don't like earthworms, but like Lin Geng's bait very much.

Then the old and the young sat by the river and started catching fish one after another, which stunned the surrounding anglers. They were envious and jealous to death. Some of them simply threw their fishing rods aside and stopped fishing, and started running over to watch the fun.
