Siheyuan: Forced to exchange rooms with Qin Huairu at the beginning

After saying goodbye to the old lady, Ran Qiuye came to the front yard door and waited, but she didn't expect that the person who came was not Zhang Zhiqiang, but Yan Bugui who came back leisurely on a bicycle.

"Hey, Teacher Ran, what are you doing at the door?"

Yan Bugui asked curiously when he saw Ran Qiuye.

"My man will probably be back soon, so I'll just wait here for a while."

"***Are you going fishing?"

Ran Qiuye guessed and said, it was easy to guess, Yan Bugui had such a long fishing rod hanging next to him, it was obvious that he had gone fishing.

"That's right. We have nothing to do during the holidays, so fishing can also satisfy the cravings of our family."

Yan Bugui parked the bicycle and opened the bucket for Ran Qiuye to see.

Sure enough, there were four or five fish in it, but they were not very big. The big one was only the size of a palm, and the small one was about the size of an index finger.

It’s not that Yan Bugui doesn’t want to catch big fish, it’s mainly because he can’t catch any.

People in that era were not well fed, and most of the fish in the river outside the old city had been caught long ago. It was a testament to Yan Bugui's superb skills that he was able to catch five small fish.

"Congratulations, you have made quite a harvest."

Although Ran Qiuye looked down on these fish, he still said.

The fish she usually buys are big, but that costs money, while this is free for others, and all she spends is her free time.

"Haha, I'm just average. Today I caught a fish as big as my arm and sold it for two dollars on the spot."

Yan Bugui clicked his tongue, his tone revealing envy.

If only he could catch one, the two dollars would be enough for almost two days’ salary.

"Take your time, s***. Sooner or later, you will be able to catch a fish that big."

Ran Qiuye replied, looking at the distance and wondering why Zhang Zhiqiang hadn't come back yet.

"That's right, I'll go tomorrow."

"By the way, Mr. Ran, this fish is for you. Take it home to satisfy your craving."

After Yan Bugui finished speaking, he took out the smallest fish, which was only the size of an index finger, from the bucket with a distressed look and handed it to Ran Qiuye.

"No need, ***, just take it home. How can I ask for your things?"

Ran Qiuye shook his head and refused.

The fish that Yan Bugui gave was so small that Ran Qiuye felt that it would probably just fill up his teeth. It wouldn't even be enough to pay for the fuel after doing it once, so it was unnecessary.

Besides, Zhang Zhiqiang has told me time and again that I must not accept anything from Yan Bugui, because they might think I am giving you something and then ask you for a favor.

You have no choice but to help, otherwise people will say that you only take money but don't do the job.

Although Zhang Zhiqiang might have exaggerated a bit, Ran Qiuye felt that the risk could not be taken.

"Take it. We caught a lot. It's good to make some soup."

Yan Bugui insisted that he really had this plan in mind.

You accepted my fish today, so you must return the favor someday.

Thinking back to every time Zhang Zhiqiang bought something, Yan Bugui would be so greedy. If he could give him a little, he would be able to enjoy a delicious meal.

Just when Ran Qiuye was in trouble, Zhang Zhiqiang finally came back on a bicycle.

"Really, no thanks, I'll be on my way first."

As he spoke, Ran Qiuye ran towards Zhang Zhiqiang.

"Hey, slow down, wife, don't run."

Ran Qiuye's running made Zhang Zhiqiang nervous, and he got out of the car and prepared to hug his wife in his arms.

If it were at home, Ran Qiuye would have thrown herself into Zhang Zhiqiang's arms, but this was outside, and Ran Qiuye certainly couldn't do that, otherwise it would be a bit shocking to the world in this era.

"My dear wife, don't run. You are pregnant. What if you fall?"

Zhang Zhiqiang blamed in an intimate tone.

"It's okay. It's not that easy to fall."

"Okay, I won't run next time."

Ran Qiuye retorted, but immediately changed her statement when she saw Zhang Zhiqiang's expression, otherwise Zhang Zhiqiang would definitely keep nagging for the whole afternoon.

Just like Tang Monk reciting the tight-fitting curse to Monkey King, and like Monkey King, Ran Qiuye couldn't stand this and found it very annoying.

"Wife, why are you out here when you're not staying at home?"

Zhang Zhiqiang asked doubtfully.

"I couldn't stay at home alone, so I came out to wait for you, thinking you would be back soon."

Ran Qiuye said with a sweet smile.

"Haha, OK, let's go home quickly."

Zhang Zhiqiang was very satisfied with this answer. He thought that he couldn't be so leisurely tomorrow and had to ride faster, after all, his wife was waiting for him.

"it is good."

Ran Qiuye agreed and followed Zhang Zhiqiang obediently.

"Is the Third Uncle going fishing?"

Zhang Zhiqiang asked at the door.

That’s right, Yan Bugui hadn’t gone in yet and was just watching them.

"Yeah, we had quite a catch today. We caught five fish."

"I just ran into Teacher Ran at the door, and I wanted to give one to your family, but girls are shy, so I'm sorry to say that."

"Take it, Qiangzi. Go back and make some soup for Teacher Ran."

Yan Bugui said with a smile and took out the smallest fish from the bucket.

"Uncle, you are too stingy. Who can eat such a small fish? I would just give me the biggest one."

"That one is barely enough to fill the gap between my teeth."

Zhang Zhiqiang knew that Yan Bugui was reluctant, so he said it deliberately.

In Zhang Zhiqiang's opinion, the largest one was only the size of a palm, and there was only a few pounds of meat after removing the internal organs.

"Ah this?"

Yan Bugui opened his mouth but couldn't say a word. What does it mean to give you the biggest thing?

Yan Bugui wanted to use the small fish to trick Zhang Zhiqiang, but he didn't expect that Zhang Zhiqiang shamelessly asked for the biggest one at the beginning, which confused Yan Bugui.

If Yan Bugui could speak now, he would definitely say loudly, I have never seen such a shameless person!

Yan Bugui came back to his senses and felt a little embarrassed. If he was given a small fish, he could still accept it, but he really couldn't bear to give up the big fish.

This time when he went back, he didn't plan to eat the big fish. He was going to cook the second smallest fish into soup and give each person in the family a bowl.

The remaining three are dried into jerky and eaten during the Chinese New Year.

"Haha, I'm just kidding you, please keep it, we don't need it."

"My wife is leaving and going back."

Zhang Zhiqiang laughed loudly and called his wife to go home. He knew that Yan Bugui was reluctant to let her go, and it turned out to be true.

"Qiangzi, you just love to joke around. If you want the bigger one, just take it. It's not like I'm reluctant to give it away."

Yan Bugui heaved a sigh of relief but spoke stubbornly, as if this could show how generous he was.

"So I really took it? Don't you regret it?"

Zhang Zhiqiang turned around and asked seriously.

"Forehead."

Yan Bugui was stunned again. He was not sure whether Zhang Zhiqiang was telling the truth or just saying it casually, so he simply kept silent.

"We're going back first, Third Uncle. See you later."

After Zhang Zhiqiang finished speaking, he pushed his bicycle and went home with his wife.

Yan Bugui looked unhappy. The joy of catching five fish was gone. Zhang Zhiqiang did not give him any face in the last wave, which made Yan Bugui feel uncomfortable.
