Siheyuan: After I moved in, the compound became a mess

The people on the shore saw Yan Bugui struggling desperately in the water, but sinking deeper and deeper, and they suddenly panicked.

Several men, young and old, who could swim realized that something was wrong and quickly jumped into the water and swam towards Yan Bugui.

Others also called for help and looked for rescue tools.

Fifteen minutes later, with everyone's efforts, Yan Bugui was finally rescued.

Yan Bugui was lying on the shore, all wet, spitting water and sobbing, and it was hard to tell whether it was water or tears on his face.

"Oh my God, just let me die, how can you do this, not giving me any fish, this is going to kill me..."

"Since you gave me hope, why do you take it away? I don't want to live anymore..."

Listening to Yan Bugui's nightingale-like cry, the crowd watching nearby also sighed.

"It's no wonder he's wailing like that. Who can bear this? He tried to hook big fish twice, each one bigger than the last, but in the end, he didn't catch any. How miserable he must be!"

"That's right. If it were me, I might not be as good as him. I will never be able to fish again in my life. It's a complete psychological trauma."

"It's all God's will. God didn't allow us to catch such a big fish. It's not easy for it to live this long. Let this fish live well in Shichahai!"

"That's all bullshit. People can't even survive, so why should they care about a fish?"

"I heard that this guy is the manager of the Red Star Courtyard. I think he is a loser. Two big fish took the bait, but one was not caught. He still dares to say that he can fish. What a waste of stock."

Yan Jiecheng was guarding Yan Bugui and didn't know how to comfort him when he suddenly heard someone calling his father a waste. He immediately stopped working and stood up and looked in the direction where the voice came from.

In the end, the man didn't confront him and just stopped talking.

Yan Jiecheng glared at the crowd and squatted down again. "Dad, don't blame yourself. Didn't you hear that it was God who protected the fish? We ordinary people can't catch it at all."

"Xie Cheng is right, Old Yan, you should be more open-minded."

Yi Zhonghai had a lot of words to comfort Yan Bugui, but when he heard someone scolding Yan Bugui, he thought that Hongxing Siheyuan was also scolded. His heart skipped a beat and his face turned dark.

Originally, he wanted to increase the popularity of Red Star Courtyard through this big fish that only appears once in twenty years.

What happened is that now that it’s well-known, it’s really against the trend!

Haven’t you heard people say that the manager of the Red Star Courtyard is a waste?

"Old Yan, stop crying here. Get up and go back quickly. There are so many people watching and pointing fingers at you. It's not good for the image of our compound." Yi Zhonghai sighed and spoke with a serious face while looking at Yan Bugui, who was lying on the ground with difficulty breathing.

Yan Bugui slowly raised his arm and pointed at Yi Zhonghai: "Old Yi, are you still human? I am in this state and you still say this to me. Just let me die."

Having said that, Yan Bugui was about to climb back into the water again.

Yan Bugui felt very upset. If he could catch these two fish, he estimated that the money he earned from selling them plus the meat coupons would be enough for his annual salary.

Why does he calculate this and that all the time? Isn't it just to make sure his family has enough food to eat?

But today, a great opportunity just passed by. I had clearly reached the shore, but the cooked duck flew away. Who could bear this!

"Dad, Dad, why don't you just pretend that you didn't come here to fish today? Why are you so stubborn?"

Yan Jiecheng was also scared. Seeing that his father was really upset, he turned to look at Yi Zhonghai and said, "Uncle, please stop talking. Let my father take it easy first. He can't take the blow right now."

Yi Zhonghai looked at Yan Bugui who was silently wiping tears on the ground and didn't know what to say.

After all, he is the manager of the compound, but it is so embarrassing for him to whimper and cry in front of dozens or hundreds of onlookers. You can be embarrassed as a person, but Hongxing Siheyuan cannot!

Wang Dabao saw Yan Bugui's appearance from a distance and sighed inwardly, this old Yan still needs some training!

This is just the beginning. If you can hold on, I can also let you see a big fish that is three or four meters long.

As a result, it broke down after just two rounds and lay on the ground unable to move. It was so disappointing!

Wang Dabao squeezed through the crowd and stopped Yi Zhonghai who was trying to persuade Yan Bugui to get up quickly. "Old Yi, I know you are anxious, but don't worry, let me talk to Old Yan."

When Yan Jiecheng saw Wang Dabao coming, he immediately made way. He knew that his father had a good relationship with Wang Dabao, and maybe his father would listen to what Wang Dabao said.

"Old Yan, you are a rare intellectual in our compound. You should understand the principle that if you keep the green mountains, you won't be afraid of firewood burning."

"What you need to do now is to adjust your mindset and meet the next challenge. Don't always think about not catching fish. You should think about why you are the only one who can catch fish among so many people."

Yan Bugui's body twitched, and his voice was filled with tears, "Why...why?"

"Because you have experience and talent, you may have become accustomed to it and not noticed your fishing talent. But think about it, how did this big fish recognize your hook and bite!"

Wang Dabao reached out and helped Yan Bugui sit up. "Now what you need to do is go home and review your fishing activities. Remember your preparations before fishing today, your fishing posture, the position of the float, the weight of the bait, etc., and write everything down in a notebook."

"Wait until you recover, then come back to catch those two big fish. They are in Shichahai anyway, so they can't run away, right?"

Yan Bugui started twitching again, but this time he was moved.

He wanted to grab Wang Dabao's hand and say a few words of thanks, but Wang Dabao was sharp-eyed and dodged it cleverly.

"Dabao, you are really my good brother. I didn't expect to meet you even when I am old. I, Yan Bugui, must have done so many good deeds in my previous life to have such good fortune!"

"Old Yan, please stop talking. I'm almost crying."

Wang Dabao lowered his head and pouted. If he continued like this, he would be choked. Who could bear this? "We are grown men. We don't need to be so sentimental. I just hope you can cheer up quickly."

"Come on, I'll come on."

Yan Bugui wiped his tears and nodded, sniffed and said, "I was thinking of selling the fish to Yuhuatai Hotel and using the money to buy you a pack of good cigarettes..."

Yan Bugui said this and turned to look at Yan Jiecheng.

"I'm going to be generous for once today. Jie Cheng, I'll go back and buy your uncle Dabao a pack of cigarettes for two cents. If it weren't for your uncle Dabao, I would be in vain today!"

Yan Jiecheng's face turned dark at that moment.

Yan Bugui said this because he intended to let Yan Jiecheng pay for it.

Yan Jiecheng felt very miserable because he still owed Wang Dabao four dollars and he couldn't even afford a cigarette that cost two cents.

"Old Yan, no need. I'm helping you because we're brothers, not because I want your cigarettes."

Wang Dabao waved his hands hastily, and then did not forget to try to get closer to him again, "I absolutely do not want this cigarette, and you do not need to buy it. If you take this cigarette, it would be an insult to the friendship between me and Lao Yan."

Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, Xu Damao and Sha Zhu, who were standing aside, had thoughtful looks in their eyes, and they had only one thought in their minds.

This Wang Dabao can deal with it!

Yan Bugui patted Wang Dabao's arm hard.

"Dabao, meeting you is my blessing!"
