1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

"I found him. He was introduced by Director Wang, and he is the successor of Yangshi Lei. The price has also been agreed upon. The total cost is 600 yuan including labor and materials. Dad asked Director Wang to write an agreement, and the rest of the money will be paid after the work is completed."

"Dad, isn't this a good arrangement? Then why are you still worried?"

"Alas! I am worried about the few hundred dollars left..."

Before Li Dajiang could finish his words, there was a commotion outside the door.

"Wei Min, did you go fishing in Shichahai again? How was your catch today?"

"Uncle...you see we caught about fifty kilograms of fish in this morning!" Li Weimin replied excitedly.

"Really? Are there so many fish in Shichahai recently?"

Yan Bugui shouted in surprise.

"Uncle, these were all caught by my uncle. My uncle's luck is simply unbeatable!"

"Brother Dahe is so capable!" Yan Bugui's small eyes narrowed into slits at this moment.

Li Dahe walked along, his face almost frozen with laughter: "Hehe...it's all luck!"

As soon as Li Weiguo heard it, he knew that since his second uncle used the invincible fishing rod today, the other two little guys would definitely not catch much.

As he put down what he was holding, he asked with a smile, "Dad, if you catch 50 kilograms of fish a day, how much can you earn in a day?"

"It's only 50 cents per pound, that's 25 cents a day! Dad, what are you worrying about?"

Li Dajiang suddenly understood, slapped his thigh, and replied with a smile: "Dad is confused, from now on, I will listen to you about all the family matters!"

"Dad, you can't go back on your word!" Li Weiguo said with a playful smile.

In fact, he just wanted to mention eating roast duck.

"It counts, it definitely counts. You can take care of the family affairs from now on. Dad is just a worker!"

Li Dajiang walked out while talking. Outside the house, a group of children surrounded Li Weimin and his friends.

They were all talking about the fish that Li Weimin and his friends had caught.

Li Dahe shouted loudly from inside: "Everyone make way, we want to go home for dinner!"

"Yes, we are going to go fishing this afternoon, so stop surrounding us!"

When the children in the courtyard heard that they were going fishing in the afternoon, they looked at each other and ran back home like the wind.

Li Weimin and the others were still wondering what happened to these children? How did the crowd around them suddenly disappear?

Several children had disappeared, and they had no chance to ask the questions in their hearts.

The uncle and nephew entered the house.

Li Weimin had a keen nose. He followed the aroma and ran straight to the table. When he saw the roast duck on the table, he couldn't believe his eyes.

He rushed over regardless of everything, leaned on the table, stared at the roast duck motionlessly, and swallowed his saliva.

"Guardians... roast... roast... duck!"

"Second brother! It really is... roast duck!"

The two little ones were completely mesmerized by the aroma of the roast duck and forgot that they wanted to show off their fishing skills to their dad.

Li Dahe was already telling his elder brother about his fishing trip that morning.

He was so excited that Li Dajiang laughed out loud: "Great, great! Dahe is really amazing!"

"Great hero, go wash your hands and prepare to eat! Weiguo, I just bought a roast duck!"

"Eh!"

Only then did Li Dahe wash his hands and prepare for dinner.

Li Weiguo looked at the two little ones, still drooling over the roast duck. He lifted the roast duck up and said, "Go wash your hands and prepare to eat, or I'll put the roast duck away for dinner!"

"Brother, let's go wash our hands now! The roast duck will get cold if we eat it in the evening, so you must not put it away!"

After they finished talking, they ran to wash their hands like a gust of wind.

Li Weiguo looked at his two younger brothers who were becoming more and more lively, and the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily.

At noon, the Li family’s meal was served, including a roast duck, yesterday’s leftovers, and multi-grain steamed buns.

Li Weiguo cut the roast duck into small pieces, leaving a few pieces for Wang Guifang and letting them eat the rest.

The two younger brothers each had a duck leg and ate until their mouths were full of oil.

Li Weiguo ate the roast duck produced by the system and felt that it was more delicious than the roast duck he had eaten at Quanjude in his previous life.

At this moment, he knew that the food produced in this space was better than ordinary food.

After lunch, Li Dajiang asked Li Weiguo to push the new bicycle into the house, and he wiped it carefully with a soft cloth.

Li Weiguo went to the river to fish, and the large group in the courtyard followed him.

The children who were watching just now followed behind tacitly. It turned out that this group of children went home to eat, but they wanted to come fishing with them.

As expected, Yan Bugui and his sons, carrying fishing rods, were also in the crowd.

Li Weiguo didn't care. Shichahai was so big that it could accommodate twice as many people.

The Li family had three fishing rods, but Li Weiguo did not try fishing. Instead, he sat between his two younger brothers and gave them instructions from time to time.

After all, only with his guidance could his younger brothers catch anything. This morning, without any cheating, the two little guys each caught a crucian carp the size of a palm.

Although this is the normal level of fishing, the two younger brothers have obviously grasped the spirit of fishing to the extreme. They are neither arrogant nor impatient and are full of patience.

Even though they didn't catch any big fish, they didn't get discouraged.

Next to him, Li Dahe was holding an invincible fishing rod. Not long after he threw the hook into the water, a fish was caught.

"Wow! It's a carp, a big carp weighing seven or eight kilograms!" The onlookers exclaimed louder than the fisherman!

Yan Bugui next to him was so anxious that he was sweating, because at the moment he was closest to Li Dahe, and they both cast the fishing hooks, but there was no movement on his side.

"Stop shouting! You're scaring all the fish in the river away!"

Yan Bugui became more and more impatient, and suddenly, he couldn't help shouting.

This shout made the crowd stunned at first, and then they all glanced at him.

Many people grumbled: "Look at this, you can't catch any fish, but you blame others? It's not like Li Dahe, who can still catch fish even if he shouts."

Amid people's grumbling, Li Dahe had already caught his second fish.

Yan Bugui was so anxious that he was sweating and panicking.

He was full of confusion. They were both fishing, and they were sitting right next to each other, so why was Li Dahe catching fish one after another while he was doing nothing?

Li Dahe apologized: "Hehe... I was just lucky!"

He was indeed right. In the eyes of outsiders, he was indeed lucky.

In the morning, he followed his two nephews to Shichahai. At first, he did not fish, but dug earthworms for his two nephews, while his two nephews sat quietly by the river fishing.

Li Dahe has been farming in the village for many years and has never fished. When he is not digging earthworms, he squats beside his two nephews and earnestly learns fishing techniques.

He reports to the steel rolling mill when the time is right. Now he has basically mastered the life patterns of his colleagues in the purchasing department.

When I am not out purchasing, I sleep in in the morning, report to the factory, and then go to the cafeteria to eat lunch at noon. I disappear in the afternoon, and the day is gone.
