Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

"Brother, I told you I was awesome! You didn't believe me, now you know!"

Seeing the fish caught, Sun Zhenghong, who had calmed down, was bragging about it.

"Well! You are the best! The fish is so smart, but you can catch it. I really admire you!"

Sun Zhengguo joked while washing his hands.

"Hehehe!"

"dare you laugh!"

Sun Zhenghong glared at Sun Zhengan who was laughing secretly beside him, and raised his little fist to show his dissatisfaction, as if he would hit him if he dared to laugh again.

"No, no, I just remembered something funny. Sister, you have to believe me, I'm definitely not laughing at you, hehe!..."

Sun Zheng'an's actions completely infuriated Sun Zhenghong, who chased after him and punched him with his fist.

Sun Zhengan, who was standing by, dodged left and right, saying, "Ouch! Oh! Sister, who will dare to marry you in the future if you are like this!"

Sun Zhengan's words were like adding fuel to the fire!

Let the storm come harder!

Sun Zhengguo saw the brother and sister laughing and playing, he smiled and shook his head, ignored them, sat on the stool, put on the bait, and continued fishing.

Maybe it was his sister who brought him good luck. Sun Zhengguo just started to catch fish. After a while, he caught two small crucian carp. Although they were not big, it was a good start.

When Yan Bugui saw that Sun Zhengguo had caught two more fish, he could no longer sit still. He put down the fishing rod in his hand and walked towards Sun Zhengguo.

"Jungguk, I left in a hurry today, and I don't have much bait left. Can you lend me some first? I'll make more next time and return it to you."

"Damn it! The one taking advantage is here again." Sun Zhengguo complained inwardly.

The bait used by Yan Bugui was made of sweet potato. Whether he could catch fish depended on luck. His bait was made of flour with a little oil added, so Yan Bugui was jealous.

"Uncle, I don't have much left, so please use this bait sparingly."

Yan Bugui was very happy to see the bait handed over by Sun Zhengguo. Although it was not much, he should not come back empty-handed today.

"Thank you! I'll give you more next time and return it to you."

"Forget it! Uncle, you should keep your sweet potato bait for yourself. I'm afraid I can't get used to it."

If most people heard what Sun Zhengguo said, they would be very embarrassed, but who is Yan Bugui?

His face wasn't red, he wasn't out of breath, and he spoke with a proud look.

"You don't understand! Sweet potato bait is only available in bulk."

Sun Zhengguo was too lazy to pay attention to him and only cared about big goods. So, may I ask, where are your big goods?

Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Yan Bugui left tactfully.

Nearing noon, although wearing a straw hat, Sun Zhengguo could not stand the heat any more. He looked at the bucket on the side and saw that except for the big black carp, the other six were all the same, so he decided to call it a day.

"Uncle, the weather is too hot. I'm going back. What do you say?"

Yan Bugui looked at the bucket beside him. There were two small crucian carps swimming around in it. There were not enough to share when he took back the water. What should he do?

"Why don't you guys go back first! I'll wait a little longer. There aren't many people here now, so it should be easier to fish."

"Okay, just take your time fishing, we're going home."

After Sun Zhengguo finished speaking, he put away the fishing rod and bench, handed them to his younger brother and sister, picked up the bucket himself, and walked home.

After returning to the courtyard, several middle-aged women saw it from a distance and quickly gathered around to see the harvest.

"Ouch! What a big bluefish. Zhengguo, did you catch all these?"

An old lady saw the harvest and became jealous, and asked with envy.

"No way! This big fish was caught by me, and the rest were caught by my brother."

Sun Zhenghong was afraid that her brother would steal her credit, so she said proudly.

Several middle-aged ladies just smiled and didn't take it seriously. Why take what a little girl said seriously?

Seeing that no one believed him, Sun Zhenghong became unhappy.

"I really caught it. If you don't believe me, ask my brother or Uncle San. This fish almost dragged me into the water. It must have become a spirit."

"Hahaha……."

It would have been better if Sun Zhenghong didn't explain. After this explanation, the fish became lively and amused several aunties.

After the aunties had finished having fun, the third aunt realized that they were so busy having fun that where had our Old Yan gone?

"Zhengguo, your uncle went fishing with you guys, why did he disappear?"

"The fish has become a spirit and has been dragged into the water."

"Hahaha……."

"Just kidding! Just kidding, Third Aunt, don't mind it, Third Uncle said he wants to fish for a while longer."

Well, the third aunt understood that her old man must not have caught any fish and was staying there and refusing to leave.

"Aunties, you guys keep chatting. We still have to go back to cook. We'll be leaving first."

After saying goodbye to the aunts, the brothers and sisters returned home. Sun Zhengguo raised the big fish and prepared to boil fish in the evening. As for the remaining small fish, he cleaned them up and made soup later.

At noon, in the Sun family kitchen, the brothers and sisters were busy preparing lunch. The steamed buns were ready and just needed to be heated up. Sun Zhengguo also fried a plate of cabbage and a plate of scrambled eggs with cucumbers. The remaining fish soup was still simmering in the pot.

"Brother, when can we have a good time? I'm starving."

Sun Zhenghong smelled the fragrance, walked to the stove, opened the lid of the pot impatiently, looked at the milky fish soup in the pot, which was steaming and bubbling, and couldn't help but sniff it again.

"It's so fragrant!"

"Little greedy cat, it will be ready soon. Just go to the flowerpot at the door and pick a handful of green onions, and you'll be done."

"Got it!"

After saying that, he ran out happily.

After a while, the delicious fish soup was served. Sun Zhengguo brought two more dishes. Several people picked up the steamed buns and started eating.

"Brother, this fish soup is really delicious."

“These eggs are delicious too.”

"If it tastes good, eat more. No one will snatch it from you."

"Uh-huh!"

While the brothers and sisters were enjoying their meal, the neighbors in the compound suffered. The aroma spread everywhere. The adults were fine and could just endure it, but the children, when they smelled the aroma, kept asking for more, and would throw a tantrum if not given to them.

Later, I don’t know which auntie, looking at the child making a fuss, suddenly thought of something and said it.

"Don't make a fuss. You can't eat those fish. They've become spirits. The three uncles at the door were dragged away because they wanted to eat fish. If you dare to eat it, you will be dragged away too."

It was just a joke.

Oh! How do you know?

The child who was making a fuss was calmed down and frightened and stopped making any more noise.

If you ask him if he still wants to eat fish?

This child will definitely say it seriously.

"You can't eat fish. Fish have become spirits. The third uncle was dragged away when he wanted to eat fish."

This aunt is also a talented person. Seeing that this method is quite effective, she went out to share it.

After several families tried it, they found this method really worked. The children stopped making a fuss and stopped asking for fish. Even Bang Geng, who made the most noise, didn’t dare to ask for fish.

It was 1 p.m. when Yan Bugui returned to the gate of the courtyard. He had only caught two small fish today, but he managed to stay up for more than an hour to catch three. In this way, the fish could be shared among the family, with each person getting half a fish, so he came back late.

As he walked into the gate, Yan Bugui ran into a few children playing at the door. He was about to tease them, but before he could say anything, he saw the children's looks of fear.

Next, a scene that Yan Bugui found incredible appeared. The usually timid child stood there and started crying in fear, while the usually brave child started running away, yelling as he ran.

"A ghost is coming! Everyone, run! The Third Master has returned as a ghost."

In the end, even the crying child ran away, leaving Yan Bugui alone at the scene.

transfixed!

what is happening?

Who will tell me?
