Half an hour later, Yang Xiaotao stood up and put away the fishing rod, then hung the bucket on the left handlebar. Finally, he used a straw rope to pass a nearly two-foot-large fish through its gills and hung it on the right side.
In the chest pocket, Xiaowei was lying in it, soundly asleep. Running in the water was much more tiring than running outside, and she also had to control the aquatic plants to drive away the fish, which was very tiring!
Yang Xiaotao fixed the items, then got on the car and left slowly amidst the surprised and envious eyes of everyone.
It wasn't until Yang Xiaotao's figure disappeared from sight that the shock of the people around him slowly dissipated.
The past half hour has simply been Yang Xiaotao's performance moment.
The swinging fishing rod, and the fish flying through the air every time it was lifted up, simply didn't feel like fishing, but catching fish.
And every time they catch, they are always big fish, which makes the fishermen wonder if they are in the same water area.
After everyone calmed down, some people immediately started talking, and many people wanted to know the details of Yang Xiaotao.
If nothing else, now that you know such a talented person, you can just go home and brag about it.
Of course, many people know Yang Xiaotao. After all, the impression Yang Xiaotao has left here over the years is obvious to all.
No one is dissatisfied with his fishing skills.
That is to say, there have been fewer in the past two years. The anglers have changed one after another, so there will be fewer people to know.
If this had happened in the past, if they saw Yang Xiaotao coming, someone would immediately approach with a fishing rod and take advantage of him.
Just like now, a little old man wearing glasses immediately occupied Yang Xiaotao's position the moment Yang Xiaotao left.
While the people around him were puzzled, the little old man had already raised his fishing rod, and a foot-long carp was thrown onto the shore.
Then everyone realized something, this, isn't this just a prepared fish nest?
Soon, a group of people came running over and swung out fishing rods one by one. Everyone opened their eyes in anticipation of the big fish taking the bait.
The original little old man had now stood up and moved out of the way. He quickly reached out and inserted his fingers into the fish's gills, holding the fishing rod in a daze.
Judging from his many years of calculation experience, Yang Xiaotao was able to reap this benefit if he left early.
If I come later, I won't be able to get this one.
But looking at the big fish in my hand, I felt very happy. I had worked hard for a long time and only had two palm-sized fish. Now with Yang Xiaotao's light, the big fish took the bait instantly.
The little old man pushed up his glasses and looked back at the people who were still waiting, with a hint of ridicule on his face.
I really thought anyone could take advantage of Yang Xiaotao!
Can I take advantage of it if I don’t have any patience or vision?
I suddenly felt complacent, and the big fish I was carrying didn’t feel heavy anymore!
In fact, Yang Xiaotao discovered it when he came here.
After all, not many people can ride a bicycle to fish. He usually rides a bicycle to fish to show off, to show off, and to satisfy his own vanity.
I just didn't expect that Yang Xiaotao, who had been missing for more than a week, would come today.
So, he waited aside.
But it took a long time to wait.
He could tell that this guy was not focusing on fishing, but was reading a book for a long time.
It wasn't until the end that I started to get serious.
But this harvest, he estimated, could catch him for a week!
It’s really annoying to compare people to each other!
Although he was so envious, he picked up the big fish that was still resisting, feeling very happy.
"This guy, if you leave a little bit, it will be enough for people to eat."
"From now on, you have to follow closely and don't offend me!"
…
Siheyuan.
When Yang Xiaotao came back, there was naturally another uproar.
Fortunately, the people in the courtyard have long been accustomed to it and have become resistant to it.
Just seeing that big fish hanging on the handlebar, I still feel envious.
Tonight, the Yang family will serve meat again.
If you have some knowledge, you will immediately make arrangements to cook early, so as not to be unable to eat by then.
Or take the money ticket and prepare to go out to buy some meat and vegetables to improve the meal.
These days, the living standard in Siheyuan has improved a lot. Even poor households have a job at the street office. It is difficult to eat, but it is not difficult to have enough.
In the middle courtyard, Qin Huairu was guarding the pool washing clothes.
Ever since she married into a courtyard house, washing clothes here has become her daily habit.
No matter it is spring, summer or autumn or winter, nothing can stop her from doing laundry.
At that time, every time she sat here, there were countless eyes surrounding her, some were praising her, some were envious, some were unwilling, some had dirty thoughts...
But no matter which one she is, she is the focus of the courtyard.
She is what people call a good daughter-in-law, a good wife, and a good mother.
But now, when she came out with the basin again, many people around her were also washing clothes, but they all kept their distance from her.
Qin Huairu lowered her head and rubbed hard, her palms constantly rubbing her clothes. Water splashed out from time to time, making the ground wet. What fell together was her proud heart!
She understood that she was no longer the focus of the courtyard and no longer the one people cared about.
"Xiao Tao is back!"
"For such a big fish, this is really awesome!"
"Yeah, I'll teach you about the Dragon Boat Festival in the future, so it won't be ugly to eat at home!"
Suddenly, the voices of women talking came to his ears. Qin Huairu looked up, then lowered her head again, looking lonely.
Yang Xiaotao!
Because every time I see him, I feel endless regret in my heart.
Deep down in my heart, I hope that the other person can look at her, but I am also afraid that the other person will see her current appearance.
Watching Yang Xiaotao walk by without stopping at all, even though I had prepared for it, I still felt disappointed.
Hearing the cheers of the children in the room, she couldn't help but look sideways.
Then I saw Yang Xiaotao and Ran Qiuye looking happy together, and my heart was even more disgusting.
"Sister, I have something to tell you."
The moment Qin Huairu lowered his head, a voice came.
Qin Huairu looked up at Qin Jingru, and then asked, "What's the matter? Just say it here!"
Qin Jingru looked around, then gritted her teeth and said, "About the medicinal wine!"
Qin Huairu shook her hand, then stared at Qin Jingru, "Medicinal wine, what medicinal wine!"
Qin Jingru glanced at the room, with a smile on her face, "Let's go to the room and talk!"
Qin Huairu knew what Qin Jingru meant and bit her lower lip. Then she didn't care about washing clothes, picked up the basin and walked into the house.
At noon, Ran Qiuye simply made some food, and the two of them led a few children to the Cultural Palace.
We played until the afternoon, then took her to the barber shop to have her hair washed and had her hair cut. Finally, the family went to the nearest Hongxing Supply and Marketing Cooperative.
The service staff all recognized Yang Xiaotao and were very polite.
Here, Yang Xiaotao even spent more than half of the tickets he had saved over the past six months.
Almost each of the four children changed into cotton clothes. Of course, the styles were similar and the colors were the same.
In addition, I also bought a wool sweater for Ran Qiuye. It is said that it was imported from the alliance. This one is more than the four children.
Ran Qiuye thought it was expensive, but Yang Xiaotao insisted. In the end, Yang Xiaotao had the final say.
Although Ran Qiuye felt a little distressed, he still felt happy riding the bike.
On the way back, the handlebars of both bicycles were covered with things. The children were laughing and shouting on the bicycles, enjoying their happy childhood.
Returning to the courtyard, he naturally attracted everyone's attention again.
Especially the new clothes and shoes bought for the children, running around in the yard, make many children envious.
In the evening, a table was set up in the Yang family's yard.
Lao Dao, Yu Zecheng and Wang Dashan from the courtyard were all invited over to drink and dine together.
Everyone also came empty-handed. The old Taoist brought two bottles of wine, Yu Zecheng brought a watermelon, and Wang Dashan's family even brought two pig intestines.
This meal may sound like a meal at Yang's house, but it's more like several families gathering together at a table to eat and chat with each other to increase their relationship.
It was hot and dull, and there was not much activity in the courtyard.
The Yang family's TV set was already full of people within 20 meters.
After they finished drinking, they didn't try to compete with the children for a seat.
But there is nothing to do when I go home like this.
Yang Xiaotao simply went into the room and took out a pair of playing cards from the space. This thing has been available in Sijiucheng for a long time, but not many people were playing with it.
One is that everyone is busy working during the day, and even idlers who don’t have jobs have to find work to support their families. Who wants to play poker.
Furthermore, this kind of behavior may turn into gambling. If someone reports it, even jumping into the Yellow River will not be able to clean it up.
Last but not least, Yang Xiaotao estimates that the poker methods have not yet been developed these days, and he has long been tired of playing those few methods.
Yang Xiaotao took out the poker, and the three of them got together and chatted while playing.
"No news from Shanghai?"
Yang Xiaotao asked in a low voice, and Yu Zecheng shook his head, "I'm going to report today to get some information."
"It's not quiet yet in Shanghai."
Having said this, Yu Zecheng also frowned, "I have communicated with the comrades over there, and they are very cunning this time."
"And they are fully prepared, and the weapons and equipment used are very advanced."
"Do you know about helicopters?"
Yu Zecheng suddenly looked at Yang Xiaotao and asked.
"I know!"
"It's the kind of guy that buzzes in the air..."
Yang Xiaotao replied, gesturing in the air.
The old man on the side nodded, "I encountered it when I was fighting in the north. It didn't fly high, but it stayed in the air for a long time. With two hundred heavy machine guns on it, our people suffered a lot."
Yu Zecheng took a deep breath, "This thing appeared in Shanghai this time. During the roundup, the key personnel of the other party escaped by helicopter."
"Then what?"
"Then when our comrades found the helicopter, it had already been burned down and the people were missing."
"It is said that some people saw people entering the water by the river, and nine out of ten they escaped from the water."
Yu Zecheng felt very powerless when he said this.
Such a good helicopter can be burned at any time, but it is all money.
And in order to prevent them from seizing it, they would rather burn it and blow it up than keep it.
This is a very advanced helicopter in the United States.
If one can be captured, it will be very important to the development and manufacturing of domestic helicopters.
Especially the instruments and equipment inside are in urgent need of research in China.
What a pity~~~
"By the way, although this helicopter was burned down, the Jinling Aeronautical College wants to take the wreckage away, saying that it wants to study shooting. It also wants capable production units across the country to go and explore it together. The higher-ups already know about this, I guess.
Your machine shop will also receive the news."
Yu Zecheng finally heard some news, and Yang Xiaotao nodded noncommittally. He didn't have much enthusiasm for researching helicopters.
The main reason is that there is a lot of work on hand, so I have to do it step by step.
"Also, there are many things that harm people in Shanghai. Our comrades have arrested many of them, but they can't find the source."
After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao interjected, "So, the other party's focus is still on the Shanghai Shipyard?"
Yu Zecheng shook his head, "Maybe, but maybe not."
"From what we understand, the other party is probably trying to confuse people and take the opportunity to muddy the waters."
"But in fact, the target is still you."
The veteran nodded aside, "This is a competition of patience. Whoever reveals his flaws first will lose the opportunity."
After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao lowered his head and looked at the cards, "I'm ready, they should act quickly."
"I'm going to the south in two days. By then I'm gone, and they won't have a chance."
The three of them were silent.
Sometimes, I am afraid that the other party will come to cause damage, but I also hope that the other party will come as soon as possible to save me the worry.
