Siheyuan: All the birds want to die, I enjoy happiness

"Xiao Su, look at how many fish you've caught. You won't be able to eat them all when you get home. How about you sell me one?" Old Man Xu said, looking at the fish in Su Xingchen's bucket.

"Old man Xu, let me tell you, I don't sell my fish. Want fish? Go catch them yourself." Su Xingchen said as he packed up his fishing gear.

"Hey, don't you know how to respect the elders, kid? It would be so embarrassing for me to return the fish empty-handed. I was just unlucky today and didn't catch any fish. Let's help each other. Next time, if you don't catch any fish, I, an old man, will give it to you directly." Old Man Xu said, patting his chest.

"Come on, you've only caught two thumb-sized fish in the afternoon. Next time if I can't catch any fish, I won't ask you for it." After saying that, Su Xingchen still put a fish into the old man's bucket.

"Hey, I knew you wouldn't embarrass me when I go home, I'll give you money." After saying that, Old Man Xu took money out of his pocket, and turned around to find that Su Xingchen had left. Su Xingchen didn't lack this little money, and besides, it was nice to meet an interesting old man and chat with him occasionally.

Su Xingchen returned home with the bucket. He caught four fish in total, one for Old Man Xu, and three left. Su Xingchen planned to take one with him to He's house tonight and leave the other two at home. Su Xingchen looked at the sky and estimated that the people in the yard were about to get off work, so he quickened his pace. He didn't want to be stopped by the third uncle at the door again. If he was stopped, he would dawdle with him again.

Fortunately, Su Xingchen arrived at the right time. Just as he got home and put away his things, he heard people outside the yard coming back from get off work. Su Xingchen caught a fish and was about to send it to the He family when he heard someone push the door open.

"Who is it?" Su Xingchen said.

"It's me. I came back to tell you that I'm going to your aunt Wang's house for dinner tonight. Do you want to go?" Liu Lihua followed Su Xingchen's voice and walked over to him and said.

"Wow, you caught three more? Your luck has really changed." Liu Lihua said when she saw the three fish in the bucket.

"Mom, look at what you said. I told you that I was hiding my abilities before, but you didn't believe me. Now you believe it. I was just about to tell you that I'm going to Brother Zhuzi's house for dinner tonight, so you can go to Aunt Wang's house by yourself." Su Xingchen said as he put the fish into the basin.

"Oh, Mom, take one with you when you go to Aunt Wang's for dinner. One is enough for the two of us. If you want to eat more, I can just go fishing again. I don't have anything to do during the holidays anyway."

"That's fine." Liu Lihua put the fish on a rope and went out.

After Liu Lihua left, Su Xingchen also went to He's house with the fish in the basin. As soon as he went out, he ran into the third uncle. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't escape.

"Chenzi, where did you get this fish?" asked the third uncle.

"Where could it be from? I must have fished in Shichahai. Third uncle, your skills are better than mine. You should go fishing in designated places and catch more fish than me." Su Xingchen flattered, thinking in his heart that this third uncle would not go for a free meal again.

"That's right. After all, I have been fishing for many years. So where are you going? Why don't you come to my house for dinner tonight? Your third aunt is really good at cooking fish." Yan Bugui saw Liu Lihua going out with the fish, and thought that she would not be eating at home, so he made a plan.

"Oh? Third aunt is such a good cook? Then next time you go fishing, you have to let Third aunt cook well. But I have something to do today and I have to go to Uncle He's house for dinner, so I won't tell you." Su Xingchen walked towards the central courtyard.

"Hey, this bad boy. He ran away again." The third uncle said as he walked into the house.

"Old man, who are you talking about again?" asked the third aunt.

"Chenzi, I saw him holding a fish, so I wanted him to come to our house tonight and ask you to cook the fish and eat it together. But he told me that he was going to He's house to eat. No, I have to go to He Daqing's house later." The third uncle shook his head and silently gave a thumbs up to his own plan.

Ho's

He Yuzhu was busy washing and picking vegetables, while He Daqing sat on a chair drinking tea, thinking about how to tell He Yuzhu about the White Widow, but he couldn't figure it out after thinking for a long time.

"Uncle He, Brother Zhuzi, I'm here." Su Xingchen walked in with the fish. As soon as he entered the door, Su Xingchen felt that the He family's house was far different from theirs. The He family's house was more spacious and looked more imposing, worthy of being the main house.

"Here you are. You said you would come to my house for dinner, so why did you bring a fish?" He Daqing said.

"I just went fishing in Shichahai this afternoon. I left a fish at home. My mother brought another one when she went to Director Wang's house for dinner today. I can't come to your house for dinner empty-handed. Besides, I want to try your cooking skills, uncle." Su Xingchen handed the fish to He Yuzhu and said.

"Hey, why don't you try my cooking? I'm a master after all." He Yuzhu said.

"You? Can you cook as well as Uncle He? Go and clean the fish." After saying that, Su Xingchen sat next to He Daqing.

"Uncle, where is Yu Shui?" Su Xingchen looked around and didn't see He Yu Shui, so he spoke.

"Oh. She is doing her homework in the rain room. The exam is coming soon. I told her that she will be beaten if she doesn't do well in the exam." He Daqing said after taking a sip of water.

"Uncle, I think you should pay more attention to Yushui. The New Year is coming soon. You should take some time to buy some clothes for Yushui and take Yushui out to play. Even if you leave, you have to let Yushui know that you don't abandon them." Su Xingchen said to He Daqing in a low voice.

"Okay, I'll listen to you on this matter, but I can't bring myself to talk to Zhuzi." He Daqing sighed.

"Don't worry, this matter needs to be done step by step. But you must not think of just walking away, uncle." Su Xingchen advised.

"Chenzi, don't worry about this. Last time you said that, I thought about it and I think you're quite right. Well, take your time. This matter can't be rushed." He Daqing glanced at Su Xingchen, shook his head and said.

"Oh, uncle, you must make arrangements for Zhuzi's work. After all, they will live together in the future, and they can't suffer in this regard." Su Xingchen thought of the plot in which Yi Zhonghai blocked He Yuzhu's workstation. Although He Yuzhu was an adult at this time, who could guarantee that Yi Zhonghai would think of other ways? It is unknown whether the White Widow was a deaf old lady who designed a trap for He Daqing with Yi Zhonghai. But for him, as long as Yi Zhonghai is not having a good time, it is his happiest thing. Fighting against the sky is endless fun, fighting against the earth is endless fun, fighting against people is endless fun, and fighting against Yi Zhonghai's grandson is even more fun.

"That's not a problem. I've already informed our director. As soon as I leave, Zhuzi can go." He Daqing replied.

"Dad, where do you want me to go?" He Yuzhu came in after packing up the dishes and asked.

"I told you to stay aside. The food is ready?" He Daqing said.

"Okay, Dad. I just came here to ask you to cook." He Yuzhu smiled, looking as silly as he could be.

"Then you sit down, I'll go cook. Chenzi, you two can chat for a while. Today I'll let you taste my cooking." He Daqing got up and went to cook.

"Okay, then I'll wait for dinner." Su Xingchen said.

"Brother Zhuzi, now that you have completed your apprenticeship, you can probably find a girlfriend in the next two years."

"That's right, but there's no rush. My conditions are among the best in the city. If I want to find someone, I have to find someone who is beautiful, educated, and prettier than Sister Qin." He Yuzhu said fancifully.

"You are dreaming, just find someone who is similar, Brother Zhuzi, in two years Uncle Daqing will be able to hold his grandson." Su Xingchen didn't say anything, but he was thinking about you in his heart, and he was thinking about finding someone who is both beautiful and cultured. Aren't you a toad wanting to eat swan meat? No wonder he was trapped by Qin Huairu in his previous life, his vision is too high.

"I'm not in a hurry. Besides, my father hasn't found one yet, so it wouldn't be appropriate for me to find one now." He Yuzhu glanced in the direction of He Daqing and said to Su Xingchen close to him.

"What's the matter? Do you want Uncle Daqing to find another one?" Su Xingchen's eyes lit up, as if he had found a breakthrough.
