But Xue Jianguo refused to say more, and just warned, "Going forward, Uncle Cathay's father has been friends with my family for many years, and with my grandfather here, he will not miss my family.
But if he comes looking for you, you must be vigilant, lest some bad guy tricks you into going abroad."
Chu Xiangqian's eyes lit up after hearing this.
Use your own knowledge, a perspective that transcends decades of this era, and game plug-ins.
At home, people are timid and dare not act recklessly, but when they go abroad, the sky is high and birds can fly.
If you weren't worried that once you leave, you will bring trouble to your second uncle and Uncle Jiang's family.
It’s not that difficult to just leave.
Not to mention going south, just by going to Dagokou, a gold bar is enough to buy an ocean-going ticket.
Even if you don't go to the United States and go to Hong Kong Island, your life will definitely be better than staying in the capital.
Xue Jianguo's eyes lit up when he saw Chu Qianqian, and he punched Chu Qianqian on the chest.
"You kid, don't think so wildly. I heard Uncle Cathay say that foreign countries are not as good as we think."
Chu Qianqian agrees with this.
People who are really capable, whether abroad or at home, can actually live a good life.
Not to mention other people, just Deputy Director Li of the steel rolling mill, that is called the protagonist mode.
After the reopening, not only can it be implemented smoothly, but also business can start.
This is the winner in life.
Think again about the United States in the 1960s, which was a time of greatest discrimination and chaos.
As for Hong Kong Island, gangster police are rampant, gangsters are rampant, and social security is definitely not as good as Beijing.
Although there are many ways to make money, the risks of kidnapping and blackmail are also high.
The only thing that appeals to Chu Xiangqian is probably that Hong Kong Island has not yet abolished polyandry and concubines.
Chu Xiangqian secretly thought that in the next few years, he should really prepare a way out.
When the storm comes, if the life is not comfortable, I will take my family and leave.
Thinking of this, I immediately commanded the tit with my mind to find the person just now.
Fortunately, we were separated from Qian Guotai for only about ten minutes.
After walking no more than two kilometers, Chu Xiangqian saw Qian Guotai's figure through the sight of the tit.
When I saw him entering a courtyard, I stopped staring.
Then he said to Xue Jianguo, "Okay, second brother, I'm just curious. If you really ask me to go abroad, I won't go.
Not only can I not speak foreign languages, I now have a house and a job. I can also go into the mountains every month to get some prey or catch some fish to satisfy my cravings.
Life abroad may not be as good as mine."
This is just a comparison between ordinary people. Today, in a big city in the United States, Chu Xiangqian would be middle-class or above.
But who knows that he is a troubled person.
But this matter is not urgent. Anyway, there are still five or six years, enough for him to plan slowly.
And as a person from the future, Chu Xiangqian knows that in a few decades, China will be the focus of the world.
If it is not necessary, it is best to go abroad in a legitimate way, so as not to find it difficult to come back in the future.
Even if you had money in the early 1980s and could get it back in the name of investment, in 10 or 20 years of the new century, if you don't have enough money, you will be scolded or even boycotted by the young people of the new era.
Besides, as a Chinese person, if I develop to a certain extent in the United States, I might be treated as a fat sheep and be slaughtered.
This statement would have been ridiculed by many people in the 1990s and 2000s.
But after 0202, that’s really not nonsense.
Think about it, it’s better to go to Hong Kong Island.
Xue Jianguo saw that Chu Xiangqian's expression didn't look like he was being fake, so he felt relieved and said, "You don't know, I heard from Uncle Cathay that there are still slums and walled cities on Hong Kong Island.
Moreover, many people live in randomly built wooden houses, and it is difficult to even drink water.
The rice we eat also depends on our supply.
As for the residents in the city center, the per capita living area is less than 3 square meters, which is not as good as those in the capital.
The most important thing is that the Yingguo guys are in charge. No matter how powerful the Chinese are, they will be oppressed and enslaved."
Chu Qianqian rolled his eyes at Xue Jianguo. What he said was indeed correct, but for a native of the capital like him, it may not be a good thing for him to be exposed to these things in Hong Kong in this era.
Not to mention, he said it.
"Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense. Should we continue fishing, or should you take these two fish home and give our uncle and aunt a taste?"
Xue Jianguo suddenly wanted to hit someone.
But then I thought about it and realized that what Chu Xiangqian meant seemed to be my own girl, whom I had met in the bookstore last time.
"Gungun, you are not a good person."
Chu Xiangqian didn't care, and was just thinking about closing the rod and going home, but when the rod sank, another grass carp weighing 6 or 7 pounds was lifted up.
Chu Qianqian laughed loudly, stretched out his hand and said to Xue Jianguo, "Second brother, if you don't want to take advantage, give me 5 yuan, and these three fish will be yours."
The total weight of the three fish must be more than 20 kilograms.
It only costs 5 yuan, which is really not expensive.
But how can Xue Jianguo give money? "Do you want to give it or not? When I get home, I will tell my aunt that you caught three big fish and you didn't even give me any of them."
Chu Xiangqian cursed secretly, but he could only carry the 8 or 9 kilogram carp and said, "Okay, I'm afraid of you, so I'll give you the other two, so that's okay."
Xue Jianguo smiled.
He hurriedly packed up his fishing rods, mats and other things, carried a black fish and a six or seven kilogram grass carp, and followed Chu Xiang to the shore.
Before leaving, he also said, "Go ahead, don't say that I'm taking advantage of you, brother. How about inviting you to Lao Mo for a long experience when you have time in a few days?"
"No," Chu Xiangqian refused without even thinking about it.
People these days are not only curious about Western food, but they also have some yearning and envy in their hearts.
For Chu Xiangqian alone, not to mention the few things that Lao Maozi's diet is good at, even if the French meal is attractive to him, he might as well let Silly Zhu prepare a table of Tan's cuisine.
Xue Jianguo was stunned and asked in surprise, "You really don't want to go?"
Chu Xiangqian nodded affirmatively, "You have a lot of money to spend. If you really want to have a good meal, you might as well get something good and ask the stupid guy in my yard to cook a home-cooked meal." p>
Xue Jianguo scratched his head, somewhat confused by Chu Xiangqian's subtle disdain for Western food but his admiration for Chinese food.
Then I felt relieved again.
Judging from the boy's tone and demeanor just now, it doesn't look like he was just pretending. That is to say, this boy is really just curious about foreign countries, rather than really wanting to go out.
Now Xue Guojian felt relieved.
I happily rode my bicycle, with two big fish hanging on the handlebars under the envious eyes of passers-by, and walked home slowly.
When Xue Jianguo returned home, he was stopped by children and several young people in the courtyard before he entered the house.
"Brother Jianguo, don't tell me, you caught these two fish?"
"Didn't I catch it, or did you catch it?"
Xue Jianguo slapped the thirteen or fourteen-year-old young man on the head, "You two should be hungry a few more times, so as not to be full and wander around outside every day."
Zhang Haiyang covered his head and said unconvinced, "Why am I just wandering around? We can't let outsiders bully the people in our yard and have no one to help fight them back, right?"
Xue Jianguo is already twenty-three or four years old, and there is no way he can play with a group of half-grown men.
After a few words of advice, I just ignored it.
"Get out of here, don't stop me from going home to eat fish."
At this time, a group of boys couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Although my parents have good jobs and good wages, it is not easy to eat meat when they are not hungry.
Not to mention that anyone who knows anything knows that the bigger the fish, the more delicious it is.
"Brother, brother", Zhang Haiyang grabbed Xue Jianguo, "Last time we helped Sister Lanlan vent her anger, you are not allowed to express your gratitude?"
When several boys heard this, they immediately started cheering.
Xue Jianguo thought for a while, and the boy who had a blind date with Lan Lan did say unpleasant things outside.
Later, I don’t know how a group of boys in the yard heard about this, and actually put sacks on them in the dark and beat them severely.
Xue Jianguo thought about it for a while. Although this matter cannot be advocated, it can relieve his anger just thinking about it.
I casually took down the 6 or 7 kilogram grass carp and asked, "Can you do it?"
Zhang Haiyang and others were overjoyed, "Don't worry, I know a lot of people. It's not easy to find someone to make a fish."
Xue Jianguo shook his head helplessly, "Okay, then I won't delay your extra meal."
As soon as Xue Jianguo left, Zhang Haiyang chuckled, "It's waste oil and condiments from eating fish. And there are so many of us, we can't even say we're full after one bite.
It’s hard to even eat half full.
But if you take it to the pigeon market, this fish will definitely sell for 3 yuan.
We didn’t sell them all, only half of them. With 1 yuan and 50 cents, we bought 1 jin of white flour and 3 jins of stick noodles. That’s enough for us to eat.”
When everyone heard this, they encouraged Zhang Haiyang to sell fish.
When Xue Jianguo returned home, he immediately aroused the suspicion of Tan Youli and grandma.
"Jianguo, did you catch this?"
Xue Jianguo did not load coins this time, and said with a smile, "How can you not, you all know my fishing skills, this fish was caught by Chu Xiangqian and me on the Yu River."
After saying that, he told Chu Xiangqian about catching three 20-pound fish in half an hour.
That's not all. Seeing that the girl was looking over, she hurriedly told Chu Qianqian that he was running around yesterday and today and was so busy that he didn't even have lunch.
Sure enough, I saw a distressed expression on Xue Jinglan's face.
Everyone looked at each other and couldn't help but feel happy.
When the old man Xue Xueli saw that his granddaughter was about to be abducted, he asked unhappily, "Xiao Chu caught three fish, and you brought back the smallest one?
Even if someone doesn’t give, you can still make an arrangement with them, and it’s just a matter of a few dollars.”
Xue Jianguo shook his head hurriedly, "He only took an 8.9-pound carp. The remaining black fish and a 6.7-pound grass carp were left for me to bring back to supplement the nutrition for everyone.
It’s just that I met Zhang Haiyang’s group of boys in the yard just now, and they shamelessly tried to take away the grass carp.”
The smiles on the family's faces became even brighter.
Xue Jinglan blushed and ran back to her room in embarrassment.
-------
Chu Qianqian returned to the yard and saw that the people in the yard looked at the big carp in his hand with envious expressions.
With a thought in his heart, he said to Yan Fugui, "Third uncle, how about exchanging this fish with you for 10 cigarette tickets?"
Yan Fugui is very good at scheming, so he immediately fell in love with her.
But Chu Xiangqian was not stupid. He expected that Yan Laokou might not even have 3 cigarette tickets, let alone 10.
Yan Fugui doesn't smoke, so the cigarette coupons issued to him by his employer every month will definitely be exchanged for coarse grains.
If it weren't for the Chinese New Year, he would have to buy one or two packs of cigarettes to cope with family, friends and school leaders. He couldn't even keep two cigarette tickets.
When the others heard what Chu Xiangqian said, they hurriedly interjected, "Qiangqian, you are making things difficult for the third uncle. How about we join together and give you 10 cigarette tickets, and we can share the fish among ourselves?" p>
After hearing this, Chu Xiangqian sent the fish to Yan Fugui and said, "Third uncle, it's you who will preside over the division of the fish. It won't make me suffer, and everyone will trust you."
Of all the people in the yard, what displeased Yan Fugui the most was that he knew how to calculate, but when it came to how to distribute things fairly, they really trusted him the most.
This old guy is the kind of person who would cut up a melon seed and distribute it equally to his four daughters.
So any neighbors who want to share some of the fish and save it for the Chinese New Year have no problem with it.
-----
Half an hour later, when Chu Qianqian was lying on the recliner at home, he saw Yan Jiecheng knocking on the door and coming in to give out cigarette tickets.
He couldn't help but asked curiously, "Jie Cheng, how did your father distribute the fish?"
Yan Jiecheng chuckled, "Brother, how awesome is my dad? He asked my brother and I to shave off all the fish meat, chop it up and mix it together.
The fish head is also cut into pieces and divided into 5 parts. Draw lots to decide who chooses first.
This way no one suffers.
As for the fish bones, they naturally became a happy expense for me and my brother."
After hearing this, Chu Xiangqian sighed in his heart, Yan Fugui is really unqualified to be a primary school teacher.
He took the 10 cigarette tickets and said to Yan Jiecheng, "Next Monday, you and Guangtian should be able to patrol with me."
Yan Jiecheng was overjoyed. Going out on patrol was a small matter, but going to the street for lunch at noon was a big deal.
"I know, brother, I'll tell Guangtian right now."
"Wait a minute," Chu Qianqian called to Yan Jiecheng, "By the way, tell your father and second uncle to come to my house."
Yan Jiecheng nodded quickly and quickly went out to call someone.
Not long after, the second uncle and the third uncle entered the house one after another.
"Go forward, is the patrol really confirmed?"
Chu Qianqian stood up and poured water for the two of them, "I have already taken your money. If I am not sure anymore, I will be embarrassed to see you."
The smiles on Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui's faces couldn't help but brighten.
Secretly, Chu Xiangqian was reliable and fastidious. It only took a few days and the matter was settled.
After Chu Qianqian sat down, he took out the letter of introduction written by Chen Huaili from his pocket and placed it on the table.
"This is a letter of introduction for temporary workers issued by the street. With it, you can report to the neighborhood committee."
Yan Fugui and Liu Haizhong look busy together.
It wasn't until I saw the red seal of the street administrative office on the door that I felt relieved.
"Okay, let's go find the uncle now."
The two of them couldn't wait to earn 10 yuan each from the Jia family.
Chu Xiangqian thought that the matter would be resolved at least tomorrow, but he didn't expect that only an hour later, Yan Fugui and Liu Haizhong came to the door again.
Chu Qianqian hurriedly asked the two of them to sit down, and then asked, "Is the Jia family so willing to agree?"
