Siheyuan: Starting from the Traveling Frog

"If he keeps eating meat and fish every day, sooner or later he will squander all his father's wealth."

At the second uncle's house, several people sat around a table, looking at last night's leftovers.

Smelling the aroma of oil-soaked meat again, the second uncle spat out the steamed bread in his mouth and threw his chopsticks directly onto the table.

"Dad, if you hadn't helped my eldest brother get married so early... wouldn't we still be able to eat well?"

The second uncle's son said with dissatisfaction that his father was famous in the yard for favoring the eldest uncle.

"That's all you can do. Why don't you go out and find a job? You're just sitting around at home and eating away at an old man like me. What's the point of that?"

The second uncle was dissatisfied. He felt that his authority outside had disappeared a lot, and even his own son dared to disobey him at home.

"Eat if you want, but if you don't, you can't blame others if you're hungry!"

The second aunt picked up her chopsticks and knocked on the table. She couldn't even eat breakfast in peace.

"After Wang Hongyuan's family fortune is gone, we will mock him again!"

This made the second uncle feel a lot better. After thinking about it, he picked up his chopsticks again and prepared to eat.

but……

"But he is now the head chef of a steel mill, earning thirty-seven dollars and a half a month, and...he is alone..."

37.5...alone...

Blanch!

The second uncle put down the chopsticks he had just picked up, feeling a pang of anxiety in his heart. He patted his stomach, put his hands behind his back and went back into the house.

"It's better not to eat this meal!"

At an old man's house, an old man wearing a green coat, smoking a cigarette, looking at the sky outside, his eyes changing.

I don’t know what I’m thinking!

"Zhonghai, it's time to eat!"

An old lady brought the dishes and chopsticks and greeted an old man who was sitting in front of the door.

The aunt's words interrupted the uncle's wild thoughts and made him a little unhappy.

"No, eat it yourself!"

After turning his head and replying unhappily, the old man continued smoking and looking at the sky.

Originally, he didn't think much of such an ordinary life, but... now his mind is a little bit excited...

"You're so old, are you still confused?"

An aunt recently felt that something was wrong with an uncle, but she didn't think much about it and just attributed it to his old age and confusion.

Little do they know that some people’s hearts are no longer at home!

"Wow, this is so rich!"

Zhou Xiaobai looked at the two dishes in front of him, a fried egg and a plate of fried pork with chili peppers.

For people of this era, it can definitely be called a feast.

"But this is too expensive. If it's just for entertaining me, it's not necessary!"

"Besides, it's not good for the two of us to be alone together!"

Zhou Xiaobai swallowed and then spoke to Wang Hongyuan with a serious look.

Even though she was envious of these delicacies, she still felt that Wang Hongyuan's lavish spending was a bit inappropriate.

"It's okay. Even if you don't come, I eat almost the same things at home..."

"As for other people gossiping? Oh, I'm opening the door, openly and aboveboard. If anyone dares to say anything, I'll remove his teeth!"

"Besides, I'm the only one at home now, and the thirty-something dollars I make a month is more than enough for me to spend."

Wang Hongyuan waved his hand, indicating that he should not mind, and there was sadness in his eyes when he talked about someone.

Zhou Xiaobai knew he had said the wrong thing and apologized repeatedly. After seeing that Wang Hongyuan looked much better, he continued to ask, "What do you do? How can you make so much money a month?"

Zhou Xiaobai opened his little mouth wide, looking a little cute.

Wang Hongyuan was also amused, "I'm working as a chef in a steel mill!"

Why are these apparently plain words somehow carrying some pretentious undertones?

At such a young age, he became the head chef of a large factory, and he has good cooking skills...

And the carpentry is also very well done, help, it has to be so perfect!

Zhou Xiaobai felt uneasy inside, and felt that the men he had met in the past 19 years were nothing compared to Wang Hongyuan.

But... why do those memories feel a little strange...

"Eat it quickly, while it's hot!"

Wang Hongyuan looked at Zhou Xiaobai who was staring at her without eating, and waved his hand in front of her.

"After we finish eating, I'm going to go fishing. Do you want to come?"

Wang Hongyuan muttered while eating, and then felt that it was inappropriate. How could you invite a girl out to play and choose a place to go fishing?

However, Zhou Xiaobai smiled sweetly and nodded in agreement without hesitation.

"But... I don't know how to fish. I'll just watch you fish!"

While eating, Wang Hongyuan thought about the harvest that the frog baby had brought back when he was sleeping just now.

"This time, Frog brought back two kilograms of high-efficiency bait, a variety of meats, a total of five hundred yuan in money, and... ten thousand frog coins!"

The efficient bait combined with Wang Hongyuan's basic fishing skills will surely achieve good results!

By the way, is it because of bringing Zhou Xiaobai back that Frog Boy has gained some kind of benefit?

The ten thousand frog coins really opened his eyes. It was just right for him to buy some more Li Minghua seasonings.

Thinking in his mind, Wang Hongyuan mobilized the mall with his mind. After all, he was the only one who could see the light screen.

Li Minghua Seasoning: Ten frog coins per pound!

This isn't expensive, huh.

With the support of 10,000 frog coins, Wang Hongyuan was not stingy with these at all.

With just a thought, he bought 100 kilograms!

After dilution, it can be used for a long time.

Let me add a word here, because Wang Hongyuan would specially add Li Minghua when finishing the work of other chefs, but he would not add Li Minghua to the work of Sha Zhu.

Plus, Sha Zhu also disdains him, which makes him the worst cook in the entire cafeteria...

Moreover, there is another interesting thing. Wang Hongyuan looked at a prop in the mall and smiled strangely.

What a good thing!

"Wai wai wai, what are you grinning about!"

After Zhou Xiaobai took a bite, he saw Wang Hongyuan put down his chopsticks and grinned at the air, and he was frightened...

Is he...not mentally ill?

"Nothing, just thought of something funny."

Wang Hongyuan then remembered that there was someone else at home. He immediately put away his smile and showed an embarrassed smile, one of the few.

Zhou Xiaobai couldn't help laughing when watching this!

After dinner, Wang Hongyuan opened the utility room and took out a fishing rod. It was very old and had been used by his father for many years.

Xu Damao, who had been paying attention to Wang Hongyuan, immediately came over and asked, "Are you going fishing?"

Wang Hongyuan did not agree, and the third uncle in the yard's eyes lit up, "Wait for me, let's go together and let the senior teach you!"

As he said this, he was about to go back to get the fishing rod, but Xu Damao would not give up this good opportunity.

"Uncle, don't forget to get one for me!"

The third uncle likes fishing, and Xu Damao guessed that he should have extra fishing rods.

Not long after, the third uncle came back with a bunch of tools and two fishing rods that looked good.

"It's 10 cents a day for rent, please don't damage it."

The third uncle gave the inferior one to Xu Damao and rented it out.

Xu Damao gritted his teeth and accepted it.

I saw Wang Hongyuan’s simple fishing rod and other simple things.

There is no comparison with them at all!

Xu Damao couldn't stop laughing, and straightened his back, "Today I will let you see what real skills are!"

Wang Hongyuan: …

ps: Happy Lantern Festival!!
