Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

After breakfast, those who were supposed to go to work went to work. When Ning Xiaowei went to work, Sun Zhengguo, who had nothing to do today, returned to the courtyard as usual.

At the gate of the courtyard, Yan Bugui was humming a tune and singing a passage from the Peking Opera "The Empty City Scheme".

He saw Sun Zhengguo riding his bike towards him from a distance, so he stood up and prepared to say a few words to Sun Zhengguo.

"Uncle, what drama are you singing when you stand up to greet me?"

As soon as he reached the door, Sun Zhengguo joked.

"Zhengguo, we haven't gone fishing together for a long time since you got married! We are almost estranged. How about we go to Shichahai today?"

"Damn it! Old Deng, I have no relationship with you. You are just here to ask for some bait under the guise of fishing."

Sun Zhengguo cursed in his heart.

But he did not refuse. The fish in the space had already become an infestation. He could take this opportunity to get some out so that he could improve the food for his family.

"Okay! Uncle Third, I'll go home and ask first. You go and get ready first!"

"okay!"

After Yan Bugui finished speaking, he ran home happily. Sun Zhengguo shook his head, pushed the car and went home.

After returning home, his sister was the only one at home. After asking, Sun Zhengguo found out that his brother had made an appointment with Yu Li today, and the two of them went out to play together.

But my sister thought fishing was too boring and didn't want to go at all. She said she would go find Yu Shui to play later.

Seeing that his sister was unwilling to go, Sun Zhengguo was happy to have some free time and ran to the kitchen to start mixing the bait.

After the bait was prepared, Sun Zhengguo didn't plan to ride his bike there, for fear that Yan Laokou would ask for a ride again.

He took the bucket, moved a small stool, carried the fishing rod and walked towards the gate of the yard.

When they arrived at the door, Yan Bugui had already arrived. Seeing that Sun Zhengguo was not riding a bike, he didn't care, as long as he could get the bait.

After the two met up, they walked westward all the way. After a while, they arrived at their destination - Shichahai.

This year is a famine year and there is a shortage of food, let alone meat products. Therefore, many people go fishing by the lake, hoping to improve their food. But how many people can actually catch any fish?

The two came to Shichahai, found a place with few people, and sat down.

Sun Zhengguo had made some preparations when he came here to fish today. He only mixed a little bit of bait to make it look like fishing, and he mainly relied on the space to see how Yan Bugui would get the bait.

After sitting down, Sun Zhengguo began to put on the bait. After the bait was put on, he began to let out the line, and then pretended to watch the fish float.

Yan Bugui, who was not far away, also took a few glances. Seeing the white flour bait used by Sun Zhengguo, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily. This was so luxurious. If he couldn't catch any fish, it would be a big loss.

However, seeing such bait, he felt even happier and asked for more. He thought he could get a great bargain today.

The two men sat there for about half an hour, and there was no movement on the lake. It was obvious that there was no way to improve their lives by fishing.

Seeing that the bait in his hand was almost gone, Sun Zhengguo was unwilling to wait any longer.

Come on! It's time to show your real skills.

So, he used his mental power to select a carp weighing two or three pounds from the space and hung it directly on the fish hook under the water.

As soon as the fish was hung up, he began to stir it back and forth in the water, but it was all in vain. A fish weighing two or three pounds was a piece of cake for Sun Zhengguo.

It took less than two minutes to successfully catch the fish and put it into the bucket.

Yan Bugui, who was standing by, watched the entire process of catching the fish and thought to himself, why wasn't I the one who caught the fish?

He hadn't tasted meat for half a year. Today he tricked Sun Zhengguo into going fishing just to borrow his bait and see if he could catch any fish. Even if they were small, it would improve his food when he returned.

But I didn't even catch a small fish, while the people who were tricked into fishing got a big catch. How the hell can I get justice?

Having caught the first fish, Sun Zhengguo was not in a hurry. He used up only a little of the bait in his hand and stopped using it. Then he threw it into the lake, but all the hooks were empty. He did it just for show.

After waiting for another 5 minutes, Sun Zhengguo followed the same method and caught another black carp weighing several kilograms.

This time even Yan Bugui was dumbfounded. Only a few minutes had passed and another big catch had been caught. When did fishing become so easy?

But he could only envy her, and there was nothing he could do. He had only been here for less than an hour, so he couldn't ask for bait right now. If Sun Zhengguo asked him, "Where's your bait?" How would he answer?

While Yan Bugui was still thinking about how to make a move, the cheater Sun Zhengguo started to continuously add goods, including crucian carp, carp, black carp, and even a silver carp.

The series of harvests dazzled the onlookers. Yan Bugui, who was standing by, had no intention of fishing at all and was only focused on watching Sun Zhengguo's performance.

Slowly, time came to past ten o'clock. Sun Zhengguo had already caught a lot today and had used up all the bait. He simply didn't want to fish anymore. After all, he was just there for show.

So Sun Zhengguo put away his fishing rod, moved his stool, and came to Yan Bugui.

"Uncle, I don't want to fish anymore. I want to go home. What do you say?"

"Ah~!"

Yan Bugui exclaimed, he could hardly believe his ears. Sun Zhengguo's luck was so good at the moment, why did he suddenly want to leave?

What should I do if you leave?

I haven't even asked you for bait yet! How can I ask you that?

However, Yan Bugui was indeed an expert at calculation. He suddenly came up with an idea.

“Jungguk, if you want to leave, can you give me the remaining bait? It’s useless if you take it back anyway.”

Seeing that Yan Bugui finally mentioned the bait, Sun Zhengguo didn't hesitate.

"Uncle, what are you thinking about! You know how lucky I am today. If I still have bait, why would I go back? Who doesn't want to catch more fish?"

Yes! If there were still bait, he would not go home. Yan Bugui felt deeply guilty for his miscalculation. He should not have cared about his face and should have asked for it earlier.

Now, it’s not that Sun Zhengguo doesn’t want to give it, but that he has used it up.

"Hey!"

Yan Bugui felt like he had missed out on hundreds of millions.

"Then you go back first! I need to fish for a while longer. Your spot is great, so I'll give it a try too."

In line with the idea that a thief never leaves empty-handed, Yan Bugui prepared to take over Sun Zhengguo's position.

But is that a good spot? Only Sun Zhengguo knows. Whoever wants to take it can take it. If he catches the fish, I lose.

When Sun Zhengguo was carrying the bucket and preparing to go home, he was stopped by a group of people again.

"Young man, you can't eat all the fish you caught. Can we switch it up?"

A leading uncle said.

"Uncle, I'm really sorry, there are too many relatives at home, and there may not be enough fish to share. Let's talk about it next time!"

Sun Zhengguo was not short of money, so how could he engage in speculation in public? It was totally unnecessary, so he simply refused.

The leader saw this and did not pester the other party again, knowing that the other party did not want to sell. The group of people knew what was going on and went back to continue fishing.

Seeing that everyone had dispersed, Sun Zhengguo picked up the bucket again and walked towards the courtyard.
