Chapter 136: Parents are not kind and children are not filial
After understanding what He Yuzhu meant, Xu Damao and the others thought that it was right.
Then he went out happily to catch fish.
When the two came back from outside, they not only had a big fish in their arms, but also a bunch of small fish in their trouser pockets and trouser legs.
He Yuzhu was quite surprised.
"Wow! Did you two steal someone else's harvest? Why is there so much?"
Seeing He Yuzhu's surprised expression, Xu Damao couldn't help but said complacently,
"Hey, we're lucky.
When I went out, the water on the street had receded a little, making it easier to catch fish.
We caught a lot of fish and didn't know how to release them at first. Guangqi suggested taking them back and releasing them first.
It was then that I suddenly had an idea and tied the trouser legs tightly and put it directly into my pants.
What do you think? I am smart, right? "
Although many rural children in later generations can do the same thing,
But they had hardly left the city in recent years. Shichahai and Tongzihe were seriously polluted and there were not many fish. In addition, information dissemination was not well developed in those days.
Xu Damao deserves praise for his quick wit. No wonder he looks so proud.
"awesome,
Go back quickly and take care of the fish first, otherwise it will die and become unpalatable."
"Then we'll go back first, take a shower later and come back to see you."
When the two of them finished showering and changing clothes and came to the front yard again, Yan Bugui and his son also came back.
But compared to Xu Damao and his companions, whose harvest was so much that they had to fit into their trouser legs,
They only carried an empty net bag.
Seeing this scene, Liu Guangqi said in surprise,
"It's not Uncle Yan,
Didn’t you catch a lot of fish when we just came back?
Logically speaking, after such a while, the water should have receded a bit, and you should have caught more fish.
How come there is nothing now? "
Hearing Liu Guangqi's question, Yan Bugui smiled cheerfully.
"Guangqi, look at what you said. You can't eat them all, and you can't keep them alive. Why did Uncle Yan catch so many fish?
After a while, everything will become smelly.
And we had fish for dinner last night.
So I reconciled and released the fish I caught into Shichahai Lake when I came back."
Yan Bugui's behavior was too outrageous, and seriously violated his extremely stingy character, so the three of them did not believe it.
Xu Damao and the other two curled their lips in disdain and directly exposed him.
"Got Uncle Yan,
If you want to sell it, just sell it. We won't ask you for a share of the money. Why do you insist on releasing the fish? Do you think we are fools?"
"Uncle Yan, you are taking this too far.
Although we are young, we are not so easy to fool. Do you believe what you said?"
Although He Yuzhu didn't say anything,
But I probably know that this is still the same pot from this morning.
Yan Bugui felt that it was not cost-effective to give so many fish to his neighbors, so he simply sold them all.
Although fish are not worth much, every penny earned counts!
Seeing that he couldn't fool many people, Yan Bugui didn't feel embarrassed. He touched the RMB in his pocket, pushed the door open and went home with a smile.
Looking at his back, Xu Damao spit softly, then muttered softly,
"This old stingy man really doesn't tell the truth at all."
At this time, He Yuzhu next to him smiled and talked about what happened this morning, and then Xu Damao suddenly realized and said,
"That's what I thought! So he's afraid that people will eat his fish for free!"
"if not,
Uncle Yan is such a stingy person, he must be heartbroken that we have eaten so many fish for nothing."
When He Daqing and his friends came back in the evening, He Yuzhu told him the story as a joke while killing fish.
Then He Daqing rolled his eyes speechlessly.
"This old Yan is really getting more and more stingy.
What will happen if this continues? I don’t know what will happen in the future.
By the way, Zhuzi, since Yushui wants to eat fish slices with vinegar, then use the remaining fish head, fish tail and skeleton to make a soup to supplement the nutrition for your Aunt Bai. " "Okay, I thought so too. "
"In that case, you can fillet the fish later. You've been carving radishes for so many days. Try to get the hang of it and don't let your skills go to waste."
Seeing him mention cooking, He Yuzhu looked up and asked,
"Dad, has the boss sent any news? Have you received any work in the past few days? It's been so long, it's impossible that you haven't received any banquets!"
"Not yet, wait a little longer."
Seeing that He Daqing looked unhappy, He Yuzhu stopped talking.
Come to think of it, the father and son joined in the middle and no one knows when they will leave, so it is normal for them to have no work.
While the father and son were talking, the deaf old lady came over from the backyard with a cane, huffing.
This made He Daqing quite surprised.
"What's wrong with you, old lady? Who made you angry?"
"Who else could it be? The Liu family!
I don't know where this guy Liu Haizhong learned how to beat his wife.
Beat his wife at home,
I just went to his house to persuade him, and guess what he said,
He actually said that this was the Liu family's family affair and had nothing to do with me. I was so angry."
After listening to the deaf old lady's words, He Daqing smiled and shook his head.
"old lady,
Today is different from the past. It is a new society now.
Although Mr. Lou is still the director of the steel rolling mill, he can no longer fire workers with just a few words as he did before!
Mr. Lou's words are not effective.
Then naturally your words will not carry as much weight in Siheyuan as before.
I think you should relax and not get yourself into trouble because of other people's affairs."
“Of course I know that Xiao Lou’s power is not as great as before, and my words are not effective.
But that’s not what I’m angry about!”
Hearing that the deaf old lady had already accepted the reality, but was still angry about Liu Haizhong, He Yuzhu was a little puzzled.
"Then what are you angry about?"
"Why are you angry? I'm angry at some people for not knowing what's good for them.
Didn’t I just go there to persuade him? Guess what happened?
It would have been fine if Liu Haizhong had just said that I was meddling in other people's business, but his wife who was being beaten also said that it was their family affair and accused me of meddling in other people's business.
It's really like a dog biting Lu Dongbin, not knowing the kindness of a good person. "
At this time, He Yuzhu, who had just killed the fish, heard that the courtyard was slowly returning to its original appearance.
He smiled and began to persuade the deaf old lady.
"Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog.
What can you do, old lady, no matter how well-intentioned you are? Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu are a couple, and they are of one mind.
You treat them as your juniors, but they may not necessarily treat you as their elder.
And what if you are an elder?
As the saying goes, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Don't treat them like cattle and horses. Just take care of yourself."
Even the deaf old lady understands this.
Compared to these great truths, He Yuzhu's casual remark really shocked her.
"Wow! Zhuzi, you are now interested in the "Xianguang Xianwen".
The words you have written for the past six months have not been in vain."
"Hey, ma'am, people always have to make progress and look forward, right?"
As soon as He Yuzhu finished speaking, the deaf old lady nodded thoughtfully, then waved her hand with a smile.
"You little fellow really provoke me,
But I don't agree with you.
Judging from Liu Haizhong's bad temper, I don't think his family will have any children or grandchildren, but only unkind parents and unfilial children!"
"But that's none of your business!"
"Forget it, forget it. I don't have many days left to live. I might die one day and forget about it. I don't want to bother with them."
