Siheyuan: Happy Life of Jia Zhang Family

After a big commotion, everyone in the Jia family went back and made an appointment to go fishing together by the river at 8:30 tomorrow morning.

After they all left, Zhang Dabiao came to Zhang Lianhua's room and asked, "Second sister, are you interested in Brother Zhuzi?"

"I think he is quite honest, just a little old. As a widow, what kind of man can I find? He doesn't look down on me, and I also think he is capable. We live in the same courtyard, and he doesn't dare to bully me," said Zhang Lianhua.

"He looks old, but he is not very old. Is he twenty-three or twenty-four this year? I forgot," said Zhang Dabao.

"Twenty-four, two years younger than me," said Zhang Lianhua.

"As long as you are willing, I support you," said Zhang Dabao.

"Maybe in the second half of the year. Youxing has only been gone for a short time. Even though his mother was not nice to me, Youxing was still a good person," said Zhang Lianhua.

"Okay, it will be fine around the National Day in the second half of the year. He still has a father, who ran away with the widow," said Zhang Dabao.

"Zhu Zi said, let's talk about it later." Zhang Lianhua didn't want to continue this topic.

"Go to bed early. We'll go fishing together tomorrow." Zhang Dabiao went out and returned to his room. He looked at the window of the deaf old lady. Would the deaf old lady agree to He Yuzhu marrying his second sister? Probably not. He hoped that He Yuzhu would be a childless person like Yi Zhonghai. Only when a childless person has no children to accompany him would he pay attention to their old age. The biggest reason why she introduced Sha Zhu to Lou Xiao'e in her previous life was that Lou Xiao'e did not have children.

This is a cruel person. For the sake of his own life, he doesn't care about the happiness of others. He says he is doing good for others, but he does things that are not human.

You are unlucky to meet me, you deaf old lady, right? After I deal with Guo Dapiao, it will be your turn. Zhang Dabao let out a long sigh and retracted his gaze.

On the third day of February, the sun was shining brightly, a good day for traveling. The weather was not very cold, but it was far from being hot either. Zhang Dabao and his group of more than a dozen people came to a nearby creek. Zhang Cuihua and Zhang Lianhua were holding baskets, saying that if they came across any wild vegetables, they would just dig them up.

When we arrived at the river, we really didn't find any wild vegetables. There were more people looking for wild vegetables than eating them. There were also many people fishing in the river. Fishing not only consumes less energy, but more importantly, it also requires less investment. If you can catch a fish, it would be even better, as it can improve your family's life. After all, it is meat.

Jia Dongxu, He Yuzhu, Yan Bugui and Huang Xinsheng had already put down their fishing hooks and sat aside waiting for the fish to start.

"Aren't you going to make a nest?" Zhang Dabao asked Jia Dongxu who was closest to him.

"What's the point of making a bait? How much food will be wasted. We need earthworms to fish." Jia Dongxu showed Zhang Dabao the bait on his fishing hook.

"If you don't make a nest when fishing, you won't catch much, don't you know that?" Zhang Dabiao simply couldn't understand their behavior. How could you catch fish like this? It was all based on luck.

Zhang Dabao took out the cloth bag from the net bag, and then took out the rice in the nest. The rice soaked in wine should be very attractive to fish now. After making a nest, Zhang Dabao began to test the depth of the water and adjust the float. After ten minutes, he took out the bait and put down the hook.

There is a real difference between fishing with bait and without bait. Zhang Dabiao caught a fish within two minutes of casting the hook. He worked like a tiger and landed a two-pound fish. Jia Dongxu's eyes almost popped out. I cast the hook for more than 20 minutes, but the float didn't move at all. Uncle Qi was messing around for a long time, and I despised him a little bit, but he finally caught a fish.

After taking the fish, Zhang Dabao handed it to Zhang Lianhua who was watching the child, and then continued to hook the fish. He caught the fish again and hooked the fish again.

In the whole river, Zhang Dabao became the most handsome guy, and the fish he caught alone were equal to those of all the mermaids fishing in the river today.

"Da Biao, do you have a unique method for fishing?" Yan Bugui could not sit still. Normally, he had done well today, catching two fish, weighing almost one kilogram. However, Zhang Da Biao was too aggressive in fishing. He would not accept any fish weighing less than one kilogram, and he had caught more than twenty fish weighing more than two kilograms, filling up the three buckets he brought.

"There are many methods, Teacher Yan. If you want to catch more fish, you must first make a nest. Without a nest, how can you attract fish? You don't need grain, bran can be used. If that doesn't work, you can use grass to make a nest and catch some grass carp." Zhang Dabao did not hide anything and told us his own method.

Yan Bugui also thought it made sense, but he still couldn't bear to use grain. He decided to use grass to make nests next time. Grass carp would also be fine, as they all grow very big. Yan Bugui had an idea in his mind.

"Brother Zhuzi, stop fishing and get busy. How about grilled fish today?" Zhang Dabao said to He Yuzhu when he saw that he was still armed.

"I'm not very good at grilling fish," He Yuzhu said a little embarrassedly.

"Yes, I can. I'll tell you the method. I have everything with me. They are on Xinsheng's bicycle." After saying this, Zhang Dabao asked Huang Xinsheng to get them.

"Let's eat grilled fish." Banggeng and Jia Jingshu were particularly happy. They ran back and forth along the river bank and were already hungry.

Yan Bugui also ate grilled fish today. After the meal, Banggeng, Jingshu, and Xiaodang were all sleepy. Zhang Dabiao and others packed up and went back, while Yan Bugui took Zhang Dabiao's place and continued fishing.

"Teacher Yan, next Sunday, let your children come and help turn the soil. I will go back to process these fish and get some meat, and then we will have a good drink together," Zhang Dabao said to Yan Bugui.

"Da Biao, don't worry, I will definitely complete it for you well." Yan Bugui smiled, and they would have a good meal again next Sunday.

After returning to Yard No. 95, He Yuzhu got a large tank from home and raised three fish in it. He processed the other fish, smeared them with salt, and hung them in the room where Master Huo used to live to dry.

Zhang Dabao rested for an afternoon, and after dinner in the evening, he connected to the crows that were monitoring the Guo family.

The Guo brothers had been recovering from their injuries for five days and were almost recovered. They gathered at Guo Qinhai's house for a meeting.

"Brother, tomorrow is Monday. When are we going to start?" Guo Qinhai was a little impatient.

"Why are you so impatient? Can you leave now?" Boss Guo asked his younger brother.

"I have no problem running now, let alone walking." In order to prove that he could do it, Guo Qinhai jumped twice.

"We'll take action tomorrow. The third brother, bring a gun. Shazhu learned wrestling when he was a child, most people can't beat him. First, hold him down with a gun, and then capture Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai," said Boss Guo.

"Uncle, I also want to carry a gun and hold Jia Dongxu back," said Guo Qinhai's son Guo Xiaoliang.

"A guy like Jia Dongxu still needs a gun? If you want to bring him along, just take him along. Call a few of your brothers along and let them see the world," Boss Guo said to his nephew.

"Okay, what time in the afternoon do we arrive at Xiaozhi Hutong?" Guo Xiaoliang asked again.

"Don't go too early. Gather at four o'clock, and everyone will be here by half past four. The third and fourth brothers will be responsible for catching people at the front entrance of the alley. The second brother will wait until the fourth and the others leave. You will catch the young woman and the child at the front entrance of the alley first. The second brother will be responsible for the back entrance of the alley. Don't let anyone in. The fifth brother will be responsible for the three households in the alley. There is one household at the entrance of the alley where no one lives, but two households have people living in them. Don't let them out." Boss Guo arranged the tasks for his brothers and explained a few details. Finally, the few people dispersed.

Let’s start tomorrow, that’s great! Zhang Dabao was also happy when he heard the news.
