Siheyuan: Separate from the beginning and live with my sister

The poor big grass carp, whose weight was unknown, disappeared in a flash.

It became a delicacy on the Yang family’s table.

"Dad, please try it. The boiled fish made by Brother Lin is so delicious."

"Tsk, is that because he cooked it? It's obviously the fish your father caught that's better."

"Okay, we all know you caught a big fish, weighing at least 6 or 7 kilograms, but it's a pity that it's still in this pot after it's finished. It's no different from the last time when you caught 3 or 4 kilograms of fish."

"Ok?"

"You mean this fish isn't that big? Anyway, it was about 6 or 7 pounds when I caught it. Now it's not enough. It must be that He took my kickback. I'll just ask him to make up for it next time by getting another fish."

"It has to be cooked into a dish, fish alone doesn't count."

He Lin was speechless. Did you, father and daughter, play a double act to tease me?

But I have already eaten someone's precious daughter, so what's the big deal if I treat the old man to a few more meals of fish?

"Uncle Yang, if you want to eat anything, just tell me at any time. Not to mention fish, I will find a way to get it for you even if it's seafood abalone."

"It's good enough that you have this intention. I can still eat a few meals of yours."

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Xiaoxue is introverted because her mother died young. She didn't have many friends since she was a child. Since she followed you, a bastard, her personality has become much more cheerful. From now on, you just need to make her happy. If you treat her badly, I will never forgive you."

He Lin's expression tightened. What happened to Lao Yang? His words suddenly became serious.

"Uncle Yang, don't worry. I will do my best to protect Xiaoxue and not let her suffer any injustice."

"Dad, Brother Lin has always been very good to me, and I believe it will be the same in the future."

Yang Zhenzhong sighed lightly and said nothing else.

The rest of the time, I just concentrate on eating.

He Lin always felt that Yang Zhenzhong seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if he had not finished what he was saying.

After finishing acupuncture for Yang Zhenzhong, he still asked what was in his heart.

"Uncle Yang, we have always been friends regardless of age difference. Now because of Xiaoxue, we are father and son. Is there anything we can't talk about?"

"Hey, did you figure it out? Normally, I can't tell you these things, and it's not something you should consider. It's just that there have been a lot of fluctuations recently, and I'm just worried."

"I don't mind it myself, but Xiaoxue hasn't graduated yet and has a long way to go. I'm worried that her future won't be smooth."

He Lin's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the thing he was worried about had happened ahead of time?

It should take several years for this to happen. Could it be that this little butterfly of mine is to blame again?

"Uncle Yang, are you talking about the higher-ups' thoughts?"

"How did you hear about this? This is largely just my guess. There will be no other news out there."

"Uncle Yang, you know that I usually like to read some books. When I have nothing to do, I just think about some things. I also dabble in economics and philosophy."

"In a sense, our current economic system is a bit too tight, which has both advantages and disadvantages. If this continues, it is inevitable that there will be ideological problems..."

He Lin was also talking nonsense, bringing up the knowledge he had learned during school, which shocked Yang Zhenzhong for a moment.

"He boy, what do you think, which direction will we go in the future?"

"How would I know? But I am sure that our country and our people will become the most powerful and proudest nation in the world."

"I hope so. I didn't expect that a young man like you would have such a strong belief. It really makes an old revolutionary like me ashamed."

Of course He Lin would not say that all these had already been realized before he traveled through time. All he said was what he saw with his own eyes.

"I have something else to tell you. Old Man Wang told you to be bolder in doing things. You don't have to stick to the present. You should be more decisive in everything you do."

"This is your job and career. I won't get involved. Think about it yourself."

He Lin certainly understood that this was a reminder from his superior, who wanted to make the speed-shifting bicycles develop more rapidly.

Originally He Lin was thinking of setting up an independent factory next year, but after listening to Yang Zhenzhong's words, he felt that he should do it earlier. If he didn't do everything he should do during this period of peace, he might not have the chance in the future.

"I understand. I will keep the leader's words in mind and take action as soon as I am ready."

In the afternoon, He Lin and Yang Xue accompanied Yang Zhenzhong to the river for some fishing.

It's a pity that even though I'm a master at fishing, I can't hook the fish for my father-in-law. I don't know if this old man is just extremely unlucky or his skills are not good enough, but there is no sign of catching any fish at all.

Yang Xue kept urging He Lin to cast his rod, but He Lin just ate snacks by the river and didn't dare touch the fishing rod. In case he caught a lot of fish, it would only highlight his father-in-law's status as an air force officer.

The sun sets over the western mountains and the sky becomes dark.

Looking at the empty fish basket, He Lin couldn't help it.

"Uncle Yang, why don't you go over to the side and have a cigarette and take a rest?"

Yang Xue next to him glared at He Lin, as if to say, "Why do you have bad intentions? Give the cigarette to the old man."

He Lin responded with a reassuring look.

He Lin had been holding Yang Zhenzhong's fishing rod for a while, and the cigarette that Yang Zhenzhong had just lit was half smoked when he saw the float suddenly falling, indicating that a fish was caught. He Lin quickly called Yang Zhenzhong over.

"Uncle Yang, your fishing rod has caught a fish, come quickly."

Old man Yang stopped smoking, threw the half-smoked cigarette butt on the ground, ran over, grabbed the fishing rod and started pulling it up.

Slowly reel the fish in, keep it steady and don't rush. When it's almost reaching the shore, He Lin takes the scoop net and drags the big fish on the hook onto the shore.

Now He Lin finally felt relieved.

It’s more tiring than catching ten fish by yourself.

"Brother He Lin, you are amazing. This fish must be about four or five kilograms, right?"

Yang Xue's words angered her father twice, and He Lin quickly tried to make up for it.

"This is the fish Uncle Yang caught. I looked at the rod and it didn't move at all. Of course Uncle Yang is amazing."

"And I think this fish is definitely more than 15 pounds. It's much bigger than the one we had at noon. Um, 15 pounds, right? It's about 15 pounds."

He Lin was also talking nonsense, exaggerating a grass carp weighing four or five kilograms to weigh six or seven kilograms. If he hadn't really found it hard to say, he would have said it was seven or eight kilograms.

Anyway, it’s all approximate numbers, four or five, six or seven, eight or nine kilograms.

None of this matters, it doesn't matter.

Looking at the big grass carp in the fish basket, Yang Zhenzhong was overjoyed and patted He Lin on the shoulder.

What I mean is, kid, you have a future.
