Break out of the courtyard

The fifth day of the new year.

Early in the morning, Yan Bugui came to wake Zhang Heping up with a pot of dumplings.

"Heping, I woke up this morning and my eyelids were twitching!" Yan Bugui stood by the sink in the backyard, watching Zhang Heping wash up. "What if we... don't catch so many fish today?"

Zhang Heping glanced at the worried Yan Bugui, and out of the corner of his eye saw his eldest sister Zhang Zhaodi running out in a hurry. Knowing that she was in a hurry to go to the hospital to replace her mother Ma Xiuzhen, he shouted, "Sister, grab four dumplings to eat on the way!"

Seeing that Zhang Zhaodi hesitated but did not go back, Zhang Heping hurriedly ran to get the dumplings and chased after her.

Yan Laoji spent a lot of money today and sent twenty steamed dumplings and two boiled eggs.

For the sake of such a rich breakfast, Zhang Heping asked Yan Bugui to go home and prepare a pound of stick noodles, half a pound of flour, and a bottle of wine. While waiting for Ma Xiuzhen to come back, Zhang Heping taught Yan Bugui how to make one. Instant bait.

After Ma Xiuzhen came back, she didn't look good on the third uncle, blaming the Yan family for causing trouble for her son.

However, when Zhang Heping took out the dumplings and two eggs and said they were from Yan Bugui, Ma Xiuzhen's expression softened.

When the family accompanied Zhang Heping to the entrance of the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, there were already many people waiting to watch the excitement.

The security department originally sent only two small guards, and they planned to go through the motions. As long as Yan Bugui could catch dozens of fish, the matter would be over.

However, I didn’t expect so many people to pay attention, and there were many people pushing bicycles and carrying fishing rods and other items, preparing to follow him for fishing.

In addition, the family members of those involved, as well as Yi Zhonghai and others, all wanted to go and have a look...

Finally, the security section chief requested a truck from the transportation team to transport the relevant personnel of the steel rolling mill to Kunming Lake.

As for the idle people in society, they can stay wherever it is cool.

After arriving at Kunming Lake, Yan Bugui took everyone to the four ice caves where they fished yesterday and found more than a dozen fish hidden yesterday.

Just when Yan Bugui was poking through the newly formed ice under the four ice holes and preparing to hook up for fishing, Zhang Heping proposed to change the fishing spot.

"No!" Third Master Yan Bugui said anxiously, "Heping, this fishing spot was able to catch so many fish yesterday, and it will definitely be possible today. There is no need to change places!"

Zhang Heping glanced at his mother, Ma Xiuzhen, and guessed that she was still angry that the Yan family had confessed to her son yesterday afternoon.

For a long time in the future, his mother Ma Xiuzhen may not let him cooperate with Yan Bugui to sell fish.

In this case, I would simply take advantage of today to catch a few big fish and go back to give gifts, so as to help my mother take over her job as soon as possible.

"Third uncle, you fish here first. Remember to use the bait I made this morning. I will take the drill rod to other places to see if there are any big fish."

As Zhang Heping spoke, he grabbed two handfuls of corn kernels and put them in his pocket, picked up a sack, packed a hand drill rod, fish hooks and lines, and headed east.

At the beginning, some people followed Zhang Heping and his family to see Xiqi.

However, when they discovered that this family only drilled holes and did not fish in the ice holes, they went back to watch Yan Bugui fishing.

In the end, only one young guard followed, probably to prevent Zhang Heping and others from cheating when buying fish.

When the second sister Zhang Pandi saw that there was only one outsider around her, she couldn't help but ask: "Brother, what are you looking for?"

"Find a quiet place!"

Zhang Heping said something, went around a corner, and asked his mother, Ma Xiuzhen, to drill a hole in the middle of the lake, and then asked his second sister to take his grandma to the shore to wait.

Zhang Heping had just opened the hole and set the hook, but Yan Bugui had already caught a lot of fish, which attracted praise from the people around him and even asked Yan Bugui for his fishing experience on the spot.

However, Yanbu Gui was able to catch fish because there was enough bait; dropping a fist-sized lump of bait was equivalent to making a nest during normal fishing.

However, Yan Bugui only prepared one and a half kilograms of bait.

The key is that when he was fishing, he was still imitating Zhang Heping's hook shaking, which really wasted a lot of bait.

When the Yan family and his son ran out of bait and started fishing with corn kernels, people around them gradually discovered that the fishing efficiency of these three people plummeted.

Yanbu Guido is a shrewd person and naturally discovered the problem.

As time passed, Yan Bugui became anxious.

They had caught a lot of fish weighing two to three kilograms before, about 23 fish.

However, even with the dozen or so remaining ones from yesterday, the total weight is less than a hundred kilograms.

"Um, who knows where Zhang Heping fishes?" Yan Bugui asked bitterly.

Just now, Yan Bugui was confident that he had learned Zhang Heping's fishing skills and could go out on his own without having to split the fish 50-50 with that brat.

Thinking about it now, Yan Bugui felt that he was a little ridiculous. He had only studied secretly for a few days and was already arrogant.

"They went north, a bit far." Someone pointed in the direction.

"Xie Cheng, you and Jiefang continue fishing here, I'll go over and take a look!" Yan Bugui said, picking up three empty sacks on the ground and leading a group of spectators to the north.

……

"It's my turn! It's my turn!"

Zhang Pandi excitedly took the reel from the guard named Xiao Li, then walked to the ice cave and carefully lowered the explosive hook with corn kernels into the water.

Zhang Heping squatted by the ice hole, held the fishing line released by the second sister, and then started to shake the hook. After the fish bit the hook, he would ask the second sister to take up the line or release the line until the fish was dragged onto the ice.

When Yan Bugui brought a group of people over, he only saw a girl in red jumping around and falling a few times.

When they got closer, they were shocked when they found thirty or forty large white-bellied fish missing on the ice!

Especially the people in the courtyard, they thought before that it was Yan Bugui, the third uncle, who saw the Zhang family's difficulties and took Zhang Heping out to fish to supplement the family income.

Now it seems that it’s the other way around!

This was clearly Yan Bugui's discovery of Zhang Heping's talent for fishing, and the family made a fortune by relying on Zhang Heping.

"Let it go! Let it swim! Let it swim for a while."

"Okay, let's start taking up the line, not too fast, just a little faster..."

Following Zhang Heping's command, a grass carp weighing more than eight pounds was lifted out of the ice cave.

Zhang Heping put away the hook, washed his hands in ice water, looked at the red-faced second sister Zhang Pandi, and said with a smile: "Second sister, it's time for us to go home and cook!"

"Peace, are these all just for fun?" Yi Zhonghai looked at the pile of big fish in front of him in disbelief.

"Master, I didn't catch all the fish. Brother Li and my second sister also caught a lot." Zhang Heping said, pointing to the young guard next to him.

"Heping, why are you reeling in the line?" Yan Bugui slid over unsteadily, "It's only what time. While there are trucks from the factory, let's go back and catch more fish."

As Yan Bugui said this, he glanced at the big fish on the ground and secretly thought that he had made a mistake. He should have listened to Heping and not wasted time in those four ice holes.

"Third uncle, it's getting late! My dad is still in the hospital, and we have to rush back to cook and deliver meals!" Zhang Heping said, calling Yan Bugui aside and whispering:

"Third uncle, with so many people watching, how long do you want to catch? At that time, should you share the fish with them? Or sell the fish to them?"

Then, Zhang Heping's voice became even lower, "Third uncle, let security guard Xiao Li take these fish back to the security department to prove your innocence. If you still want to continue selling fish in the canteen of the steel rolling mill, just take it easy when collecting the fish money." .”

After finishing speaking, Zhang Heping took his second sister to the shore to find his mother.

Around 11 o'clock in the morning.

A group of people surrounded Zhang Heping and his family, helping to carry a sack of fish into the backyard of the courtyard.

While everyone was gathered around the water tank in the backyard, asking Zhang Heping if he could sell the fish, the second sister, Zhang Pandi, shouted at the door of the house:

"Mom, our house was robbed!"
