At noon, Yan Bugui had just returned to the yard when he was taken back home by his third aunt, who told him that Lin Donglai had promised to take them and their son fishing on Saturday.

Yan Bugui was also happy to hear this. As long as they caught enough fish, they wouldn't have to buy meat for the Sunday banquet, which would save a lot of money.

What’s more, the big fish that my eldest son caught when he went on a blind date is almost finished. If I catch another fish now, it will be just the right time to replenish the supply. It’s a wonderful thought.

Seeing Yan Bugui smiling and looking very happy, the third aunt hesitated for a while and then carefully told the Lin family that she had promised to buy popsicles and candied haws for them.

As expected, Yan Bugui immediately put away his smile upon hearing this, and said sternly: "Yang Ruihua, why didn't you discuss this with me?"

"Those popsicles and candied haws are not cheap. The money from buying these two items is enough for our family's food expenses for a day."

The third aunt seemed very frustrated when he said that: "With this condition, Lin Donglai hasn't agreed to it yet. If you really don't want to agree, I'll go to the Lin family and tell him to forget it."

After saying that, she ran out of the house. As soon as she left the house, Yan Bugui chased after her: "Old woman, wait a minute, don't go, don't go."

"I figured it out. This money is nothing compared to the money for buying fish. I still have to spend what I should spend."

"You're right about this. I didn't think it through just now. Let's go home quickly and figure out what else we need to prepare."

After saying this, Yan Bugui pulled and pushed the three aunts back.

At lunch time, as soon as Lin Donglai finished talking about Saturday's plans, the little girl pouted and looked very unhappy.

"Brother, after our parents passed away, our uncle and aunt didn't help us at all. Why did you help them?"

"Besides, I don't want to go buy popsicles and candied haws with Auntie Three. She's sure she won't say anything nice."

I didn't expect that my sister, who usually looks happy, would be so vindictive now. It seems that what happened back then really had a profound impact on her.

Hatred is not a good thing for children, it can easily make them unhappy.

Based on Lin Donglai's observations during this period, Yan Bugui and his wife are just greedy for small bargains and are very calculating, they are not bad people.

As the saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. After all, we all live in the front yard. If the relationship is too stiff, it will be uncomfortable to live in this yard.

In addition, after Yan Bugui tried several times to gain advantage from the Lin family but failed, he consciously put away his little thoughts about the Lin family.

The current situation is very good. Just say hello when you meet someone and no one pushes anyone else. Only a simple and plain relationship can keep you together for a long time.

After telling her sister about her thoughts, the unhappy expression on the little girl's face eased a little, but she still insisted on not going to buy food with the three aunts, and instead asked to go fishing with them.

"You can go fishing together, but we have to agree on it first. You have to follow the schedule of the main group. You can't go home because you're bored."

Lin Dongyi agreed to his request without hesitation: "Brother, don't worry. The last time I went fishing with you, I didn't get enough of it."

After lunch, the third aunt had been looking at the Lin family's house for a long time at the door of her house, waiting for Lin Donglai to wake up and give a definite answer.

When she heard that Lin Donglai agreed to go fishing with the Yan family father and son on Saturday, she rubbed her hands with joy: "Donlai, I will definitely help you take good care of Dongyi, don't worry."

"Third Aunt, I don't need your help. Dongyi will go fishing with me. You can ask Third Uncle to bring the money and buy it by the Shichahai Sea."

Although this arrangement was beyond Auntie's expectations, she thought it was fine. After all, the time it took to go back and forth was enough for her to cook a meal and sweep the floor.

Saturday came in a blink of an eye. Before dawn, Yan Bugui woke up his eldest son, and the two of them went to dig a lot of earthworms and brought them home. The third aunt also prepared breakfast early.

After the father and son had finished their breakfast and packed up their things, it was just getting light, but Yan Bugui was already getting restless.

He wanted to rush to Shichahai to fish immediately, but due to his poor catch before, he was worried that he would not be able to find a good fishing spot and waste his time.

At this time, Lin Donglai and his sister were sleeping soundly. Yan Bugui and his family of three did not dare to knock on the door, for fear that they would anger him and quit their job. They could only sit at home and stare at each other patiently.

After a while, there was still no movement from the Lin family. Yan Bugui could not hold back any longer and went to the yard to water the plants.

He did not dare to hum a song, but coughed several times with a long tone, and said to the three aunts in the room: "Yang Ruihua, it's already dawn, it's getting late, isn't it?"

The couple's singing in unison woke Lin Dongyi up. Looking out the window, she saw that it was already dawn.

He got up and immediately went to shake Lin Donglai: "Brother, hurry up and get up. Did you forget that you promised to take me fishing today? Hurry up and get up, you lazy pig."

Lin Donglai was busy in the space for a long time last night and went to bed late. He was about to get angry when he was woken up from his sweet dream, but when he saw his sister's bright eyes, his anger immediately disappeared.

His sister kept urging him to go wash up together, so Lin Donglai reluctantly opened the door with a toothbrush. At that moment, three pairs of eyes were focused on him.

"Dongla, good morning. Why are you just getting up now? Uncle Sanye has been waiting for you for quite a long time."

"Good morning, uncle. We young people sleep a lot, unlike you older people who sleep later than dogs and get up earlier than chickens." Lin Donglai responded vaguely while washing up.

It was because of my younger sister that the little girl kept urging him. If someone else had woken him up like this, he would have been furious.

After finally finishing washing up, my sister urged me to eat breakfast. She was not picky about food at this time. She steamed two steamed buns for herself and ate them with last night's leftovers.

It seems that people are like this. As long as they have things to look forward to and things they are interested in doing, they will feel that life is happy even if they have to eat coarse food.

After dinner, Lin Donglai wanted to go dig some earthworms or something, so he asked Yan Bugui and his son to wait for a while. Unexpectedly, Yan Bugui was unusually generous today.

He waved his hand and smiled flatteringly: "Donlai, don't go. The earthworms and I have prepared them. I'll give you some. Let's go."

Having said that, Lin Donglai naturally accepted it with a smile. After packing up the things he needed, he led his sister, followed by the father and son, and walked towards the Shichahai Lake.

Halfway through the journey, my sister noticed something was wrong and asked quietly, "Brother, aren't we going to that place today?"

"Hush! That place doesn't sell popsicles or candied haws. It's not suitable for you. Let's go to Shichahai today."

When Lin Donglai arrived at the edge of Shichahai Lake, he immediately fell in love with the fishing spot with a big tree. A place with shade provided by the big tree would not feel hot even if he fished for a whole day.

It can seat four people, which is perfect...
