Siheyuan: I became a truck driver

Xiao Yun walked forward slowly, and after confirming that this was his grandfather, he spoke immediately.

"Master, stop looking and go home to eat fish!"

This shout made several old men who were playing chess turn their heads.

This includes Xiao Yun’s grandfather Xiao Aiguo.

Seeing Xiao Aiguo looking back, Xiao Yun raised his hands and shook the big carp and Xifeng wine in his hands.

The big carp in front of him not only shocked Xiao Aiguo, but also the people playing chess nearby couldn't take their eyes off it.

After three years of natural disasters, they haven't seen such fat carp for a long time, let alone eaten them.

The same is true for Xiao Aiguo.

The moment he saw the carp, his saliva began to flow, along with his favorite, Xifeng Liquor.

The last time Xiao Aiguo saw these two things at the same time was four or five years ago.

But in front of everyone, he couldn't show an inexperienced look.

He immediately spoke slowly.

"Why aren't you working at the factory at this time?"

As he spoke, he walked towards Xiao Yun.

Xiao Yun was stunned, feeling a little uncomfortable seeing his grandfather's serious look.

After all, in his memory, his grandfather was a "casual" old man, just like an old naughty boy.

But it was not difficult to guess, Xiao Yun soon realized that his grandfather wanted to show off in front of his old friends.

Xiao Yun raised the corner of his mouth slightly and decided to help him gain some face.

Therefore, Tsundere spoke.

"Grandpa, look at what you said. I also want to go to work, but your grandson is helpful and was praised by the factory. The factory director gave me a special vacation!"

Hearing this, the old men in the crowd gave a thumbs up.

"Hey, Lao Xiao, your grandson is really promising!"

"Yeah, look at this big carp. It's amazing how he managed to catch it in the middle of winter!"

...

Hearing his old friends' high praise for Xiao Yun, Xiao Aiguo felt secretly happy.

But he suppressed his smile and turned back.

"Oh, this kid was so naughty when he was young, but it's only in the past two years that I've been worrying about him."

The old men sitting around the chess table started to speak.

"Old Xiao, you should be content. Your grandson is still ignorant. How old is he and he has become a second-level fitter in the factory. He will surely rise to higher positions in the future."

"That's right, be content. My grandson is still doing odd jobs to earn a meal discount."

...

The corners of Xiao Aiguo's mouth were almost stretched to his ears, and wrinkles appeared on his face.

Xiao Yun watched quietly.

After a while, Xiao Aiguo was still reluctant to go home.

But at this time, Xiao Yun suddenly spoke.

"Master, wait here for me and don't move. I just forgot to buy tofu. I'll be back soon."

After saying that, Xiao Yun didn't care about his grandfather's reaction. He hung the carp and Xifeng wine directly on his hand, turned around and left.

It turned several corners before finally stopping.

He leaned against the wall, took out the red plum from his pocket, lit it and started to suck it.

If he doesn't want to show off in front of his brothers, then I'll give him enough time.

Xiao Aiguo didn't know and thought that Xiao Yun really forgot to buy tofu, so he sat aside again.

Next, the people who were originally playing chess no longer paid attention to the chessboard.

Sometimes they talked about how to cook delicious carp, and sometimes they discussed Xiao Yun's iron rice bowl.

Xiao Aiguo was listening on the side, looking very proud.

About ten minutes later, Xiao Yun appeared in everyone's sight again, but he was not holding tofu in his hand.

"Master, let's go home. I just looked around and the tofu wasn't very fresh, so I didn't buy any."

This time, Xiao Aiguo nodded happily, said hello to his brothers, and went straight home.

As they approached the gate, Xiao Aiguo was still a little curious.

"Stinky boy, where did you get this fish? Tell me the truth!"

Xiao Yun took a cigarette from the cigarette box, handed it to Xiao Aiguo, and took out a match to help light it.

"Grandpa, of course I bought it. It couldn't have fallen from the sky."

Xiao Aiguo puffed on his cigarette and was stunned for several seconds before he spoke again.

"What? Don't you want to live like this?"

Xiao Yun smiled and said nothing.

The two continued walking back.

As soon as I entered the yard, the three aunts in the front yard immediately exclaimed.

"Oh, such a big carp, it must be five pounds, right? Mr. Xiao, where did you get it?"

Xiao Aiguo is 70 years old. Many older residents in the yard usually call him affectionately: Old Man Xiao or Comrade Lao Xiao.

Xiao Aiguo raised his hand with a smile, "You are talking about this, this was bought by my grandson Xiao Yun."

When she heard that it was bought, a trace of pain flashed in the third aunt's eyes.

"This will cost a lot of money, right?"

Xiao Yun waved his hands. "Oh, Third Aunt, what are you saying? I don't have Third Uncle's fishing skills, so I can't spend less money."

"Unlike Uncle San, he knows how to fish and can catch two every now and then to satisfy his craving."

The third aunt nodded, with a somewhat bitter smile on her face.

Not to mention whether my man can catch such a big fish. Even if he does, he has to cut it into several parts and cannot eat it all in one go.

With so many people, the taste will be gone after everyone has a bite.

The third aunt accidentally glanced at Xiao Aiguo's other hand, then suddenly noticed the two bottles of Xifeng Liquor, and immediately spoke.

"Xiao Yun, you bought wine and fish, is there something good going on? Tell Auntie about it and let her get some benefits."

Xiao Yun grinned, "It's not a good thing. It's been a long time since I've had meat. Look at my grandfather, he's become a skinny old man. He has to eat something good, otherwise I'll be sorry for my grandmother."

Hearing this, Xiao Aiguo raised his leg and kicked Xiao Yun's calf, but the force was very light.

"Go away, what are you talking about, you little brat!"

The way the grandfather and grandson were playing around made the third aunt couldn't help laughing.

After chatting for a while, the two went home.

As soon as he got home, Xiao Aiguo sat aside with a serious expression.

"There's no cornmeal left at home, and you're spending money on fish and wine. Life is unbearable."

Xiao Yun put the carp into the pot on the side, then pulled over a wooden stool and sat by the stove to warm himself.

"Grandpa, what do you think this is?"

As he spoke, Xiao Yun took out a stack of bills from his pocket.

When Xiao Aiguo saw the thin stack of Great Unity bills and receipts, he was stunned.

"What? You're not planning to get married? Are you going to spend all your military retirement money?"

Xiao Yun sighed.

"What are you talking about, Grandpa? These money and notes are compensation given to me by the director of our steel mill to thank me."

Xiao Aiguo was a little skeptical.

Xiao Yun had no choice but to tell Xiao Aiguo everything that happened in the morning.

It would have been better if Xiao Aiguo didn't listen. When he heard that Xiao Yun was knocked more than ten meters away, he panicked. He didn't care that the cigarette in his hand fell to the ground. He walked to Xiao Yun and checked his body.

It took Xiao Yun a lot of persuasion to dispel Xiao Aiguo's worries.
