Siheyuan: The road to counterattack for the little transparent

This is an old man who looks to be around 50 or 60 years old. He sits upright on a stool and puts the bait on the rod and swings it in one go with great skill.

The weather was fine, and the lake water had warmed up a lot after being in the sun for half a day. We were also under a big willow tree, so the fish bite should be pretty good.

But when Lin Donglai took a closer look, he discovered that there was not a single fish in the old man's bucket. After looking for a while, he realized what the problem was.

The float moved slightly and when it showed signs of sinking, the old man immediately lifted the rod. At this time, the fish had not yet taken the bait and would have been scared away by the loud noise.

But I have to say that the fishing spot chosen by the old man has very good fish bites. As long as he casts the rod out, the float basically never stops.

But as the saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and of course you can't catch fish in a hurry. After all, people who are too impatient will lift up the rod before the fish takes the bait.

The brother and sister watched quietly for a while. The old man still got nothing, so he started cursing at the lake.

For fear of being implicated, Lin Donglai took his sister away before the old man started to scold him, and before leaving, he secretly made note of this good fishing spot.

After walking around Shichahai, Lin Donglai saw a vendor selling candied haws before leaving. Without waiting for his sister to ask, he took the initiative to buy two strings. The little girl was so happy that her eyes curved with smiles, she looked very cute.

The younger sister was eating a string of candied haws while pulling his sleeve as they walked. Lin Donglai didn't like sweet things, so he had to let her pull him. With her other hand, she carried the packaged rabbit meat and candied haws, and the two of them walked home one after the other.

Several children were playing in the alley with their heads down. When they heard the footsteps, they looked up and their little faces were filled with envy.

When the brother and sister were about to enter the courtyard, a little fat boy stepped into the courtyard first with his nimble figure. He rushed to the middle courtyard in a hurry, crying as he ran: "Grandma..."

As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, Lin Donglai found it very strange that Yan Bugui was not taking care of the flowers and plants at the door as usual.

Just as I returned home with my sister, Jia Zhang's loud and sharp voice came from the middle courtyard: "Banggeng, do you want to eat candied haws? Be good, don't bother grandma, we don't have candied haws at home."

Previously, when her grandson Banggeng was clamoring to eat meat, Jia Zhang had no choice but to pay a dollar with tears in her eyes, and she still feels the pain.

Now, I don't know what this kid saw or heard, and he started to make a fuss about eating candied haws again. A string of candied haws costs five cents, and this kid needs at least eight or ten strings at a time. How can we afford to feed him?

I had to lie to him and said, "Banggeng, listen to grandma, there are no candied haws for sale this season, they will only be available in winter."

Banggeng is not stupid, so he is not so easily fooled. He clearly saw others eating candied haws, but when he heard this, he immediately refused to eat, rolled on the ground and started howling: "Grandma, you are lying!

I clearly saw Lin Dongyi eating candied haws, but I think you just don’t want to buy me one, and you want to make your grandson thin, wuwu…”

Seeing her grandson rolling on the ground, Jia Zhang felt distressed and embarrassed. She quickly went forward to pull him up and comfort him: "Okay, okay, get up quickly. Grandma will buy you some candied haws, okay?"

Banggeng stopped howling when he heard this, stood up with a smile, and patted the dust off his body: "Grandma, I want to eat five strings of candied haws."

When Jia Zhang heard this, her face twisted. Five strings of candied haws cost twenty-five cents, and the most important thing was that the money had to come out of her pocket.

It's all the fault of the little girl from the Lin family. Why did she eat candied haws for no reason? It would have been fine if she just ate them, but she had to bring them back to the yard to eat them in front of her grandson. She was deliberately making things difficult for her.

Last time, the kid from the Lin family was stewing meat in the yard, but she wanted to eat some meat but couldn't get any. This time, it would probably be even harder to get candied haws. Considering how poor the Lin family is, she would probably only buy one string.

Jia Zhang gritted her teeth and led Banggeng around the alley, but she didn't even see the shadow of the candied haws seller, so she had to comfort him and tell him to buy them another day.

Banggeng didn't get to eat the candied haws, and although he was very unwilling, he had no choice but to follow Jia Zhang and walk back crying.

Halfway through the journey, he suddenly remembered something and said, "Grandma, Lin Dongyi just ate one string of candied haws, and the other string was taken by the kid from the Lin family. Can you go to his house and give it to me? I want to eat candied haws right away."

When Jia Zhang heard her grandson say this, she didn't hesitate and quickened her pace to rush back to the courtyard.

Walking into the yard, Yan Bugui raised his eyes and saw that it was Jia Zhang who entered the yard. He immediately turned his head away from the gate and went to the other side to water the flowers.

The Yan family couldn't afford to offend this shrew, but they could still avoid her.

Jia Zhang ignored him and walked straight towards the Lin family.

Lin Dongyi was sitting at the door of her house chewing a candied haws with gusto. When she saw Jia Zhang coming towards her aggressively, she shouted in fear, "Brother!"

"I'm here! What's wrong?" Hearing his sister calling him, Lin Donglai responded while walking towards the door and looking in the direction his sister was looking.

Jia Zhang twisted her fat body and walked over with a malicious look on her face. Behind her was the stick of candied haws, staring at her sister's hand and drooling.

"I heard you have candied haws at home, do you have any left? My son Bang Geng wants some too, they are from our neighbors, so I'll just give him one."

Jia Zhang said this as impolitely as usual, with a cunning light in her triangular eyes as she squinted at Lin Donglai.

Look at this old witch, she has no scruples at all and asks for things as if it's a matter of course. Someone of such an old age doesn't even have the most basic manners.

Lin Donglai laughed out of anger. These were the candied haws he bought with real money. Only a very shameless person would say such a thing.

He almost blurted out something offensive, but fortunately his reason overcame his anger and he suddenly thought of a good idea.

"Aunt Zhang, I do have a bunch of candied haws at home, but I bought them at a high price. Since your family wants to eat them, I'll sell them to you."

Lin Donglai said everything with a stern face.

When Bang Geng heard that there were candied haws to eat, he quickly grabbed Jia Zhang's hand and begged, "Grandma, I want to eat candied haws, just buy them from him."

Jia Zhang originally wanted to ask the Lin family for the candied haws directly, but she had no intention of spending money to buy them. However, now that Lin Donglai and Bang Geng had talked to her about this, she realized that she had no choice but to spend money.

I had no choice but to grit my teeth and say, "Okay, sell us that string of candied haws. You decide how much it costs."

Lin Dong came to see that things were going according to his ideas, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and replied slowly: "Not expensive, 20 cents a string."

When Jia Zhang heard the price, her face changed drastically. She was furious: "What? Two cents! You are crazy about money, right? The most expensive candied haws in the whole city is only five cents a string."

"Forget it, let's not buy it. Bang Geng, let's go home!"

As he was about to pull Banggen back home, Banggen was unwilling to eat the candied haws that were about to be eaten. He cried a few times and rolled on the ground...
