1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

"Dajiang, I'll take these soft-shelled turtle and mandarin fish back to the steel mill. These are rare treasures. Take the ten dollars I earned from selling the fish. I'll get the rest from the Finance Department and give it to my sister-in-law. Ask her to bring it back!"

Liu Ming smiled and handed the money in his hand to Li Dajiang while talking.

Li Dajiang looked at the money Liu Ming handed over, and was stunned for a moment. Then he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll follow Brother Liu's arrangements!"

"Dajiang, work hard. I think with you and my nephew here, there will be no problem for Dahe to be promoted to a regular buyer! Don't worry about the factory. With me and Chief Ma here, Dajiang won't stand being bullied!"

At this moment, Liu Ming is really optimistic about Li Dahe's future prospects.

With a nephew who can hunt and an older brother who can fish, it is easy to meet the monthly targets.

"Brother Liu, I'll have to ask you to take care of me in the future. Take this fish in the bucket and eat it!"

"Da Jiang, what's the relationship between us? You're being too formal!"

"Brother Liu, it would be polite if you don't accept it. I'm not selling it for money. I caught it from the river. Take it back and let my sister-in-law and the kids have a taste!"

"this·····"

Liu Ming looked at the fish in the bucket and was really excited.

Although he is the head of the purchasing department of the steel rolling mill and his family is more lively than the average family, they do not eat fish and meat every day.

The last time his family ate fish was during the Chinese New Year. It has been nearly half a year since my wife and son have eaten fish!

"Uncle Liu, just take it! If we want to eat it, we can go fishing ourselves!"

Li Weiguo saw that Liu Ming was excited and walked up to him to persuade him.

He thought, isn’t it just a fish?

He's not bragging, if he wants to eat it, he can catch fish in seconds!

"Haha... Since Weiguo has said so, I will be disrespectful to refuse! Dajiang, thank you, brother!"

"Brother Liu, don't be polite. Just take the bucket and ask Guifang to bring it back after get off work. We'll be back!"

"Okay... Dajiang, Weiguo, slow down, I'll go back to the factory..."

"Goodbye, Uncle Liu..."

After bidding farewell to Liu Ming, Li Weiguo carried the sack of so-called defective cloth on his back, and Li Dajiang helped him hold the sack with a smile on his face.

He Yushui led his sister Li Weihong and followed happily behind. The two younger brothers carried fishing rods and walked home together with high spirits.

Li Weiguo is very satisfied with the invincible fishing rod produced by the system. If he needs to give a score, he will give it full marks without hesitation.

With this fishing rod, he felt that the sorrow that had been suppressed in Li Dajiang for many years disappeared.

Rather than improving the Li family's living standards, Li Weiguo hopes that his family in this life can live a happy and worry-free life.

"Brother, we have no fish to eat today. How about we catch two more fish for ourselves?"

Li Weimin was still immersed in the excitement of fishing. Although they had just caught a lot of good things, they were not satisfied yet and wanted to catch two more fish to satisfy their craving.

"What? Do you want to eat fish tonight?" Li Weiguo asked suspiciously. He had not forgotten the wild boar meat and eggs that the family had just eaten last night. When did his two younger brothers become so greedy?

"I want to eat, I really want to eat!"

The two younger brothers shouted happily in unison.

Seeing the brothers' behavior, Li Weiguo knew their purpose after a little thought, so he smiled and joked: "I'm afraid you two didn't have enough fun fishing and want to play for a while longer!"

"Hehe... I really can't hide anything from Big Brother!"

The two brothers' thoughts were exposed by their elder brother. They scratched their heads in embarrassment, but they still didn't want to give up: "Brother, each of us will catch one more fish. We promise to go home after we catch one!"

Li Weiguo knew what they were thinking, so he turned to look at Li Dajiang and asked him what he thought.

Li Dajiang was in an especially good mood, and he did not stop his two sons. Everyone was a child, so he could naturally guess what his two sons were thinking: "Go! Dad can sit here and rest for a while!"

"Oh! Thank you, Dad!"

Li Weiguo put down the sack he was carrying, walked over, took a fishing rod from his brothers, and asked each of them to hold one and go fishing nearby.

This place is almost out of Shichahai and there is no one else fishing here.

Li Weimin and Li Weihua each held a fishing rod and rushed to the shore excitedly.

Among them, Li Weihua was holding the invincible fishing rod. Li Weiguo didn't even need to guess to know that Li Weihua would be able to catch a fish in a few minutes.

The two brothers went to the river, found a wet place, and dug two earthworms for bait.

Then he threw the fishing hook into the river and waited for the fish to bite.

Not long after, Li Weihua's surprised voice came from the river: "Hey! I caught a fish!"

Even though this is Li Weihua’s second time fishing, he has become very skilled at pulling in fish and collecting the rod!

As a carp weighing more than two kilograms floated to the surface of the water, Li Weihua jumped up excitedly.

"Dad! Look, I caught another fish!"

"Good job, bring it here, dad will put it on for you with willow branches!"

Li Weihua dropped his fishing rod and ran over excitedly holding the fish.

There was no movement from Li Weimin's side, but with the experience from last time, this guy was not in a hurry now. He just waited quietly for the fish to take the bait.

Li Weiguo thought that without his help in cheating, it would be difficult for Li Weimin to catch fish with an ordinary fishing rod.

After Li Weihua handed the fish in his arms to Li Dajiang, he immediately ran back to fish!

Look, there is a new fishing enthusiast in the family. I’m afraid if we catch more fish soon, this kid will definitely not want to go home!

Sure enough, not long after, there was movement from Li Weihua's side: "Haha... Another fish! Great!"

This time it was a grass carp weighing about three pounds. Li Weihua was in a very good mood at the moment.

He doesn't like studying, for lack of a better word!

Just use one word to replace it - awesome!

Seeing his younger brother catch two fish in succession, Li Weimin became anxious. He kept looking back at his family members, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Li Weiguo knew that his second brother was anxious, so he deliberately walked over and comforted him nonchalantly, saying, "Weimin, don't be anxious, you have to be patient!"

After saying that, he patted Li Weimin on the shoulder and helped him adjust his posture.

The moment he touched the fishing rod in Li Weimin's hand, he secretly did something to make his brother happy!

“It’s moving...haha...it’s moving!”

Li Weimin finally saw the moonlight after the clouds had cleared, and he suddenly pulled back his fishing rod.

"Why is it the turtle again!"

Li Weimin felt a little discouraged when he saw that it was another soft-shelled turtle that was caught.

Why did others catch only fish, but I caught soft-shelled turtles twice? Is it possible that he only knows how to catch soft-shelled turtles?

Li Weiguo would definitely not tell Li Weimin that he was deliberately playing a prank on him.

Hehe, finding joy in adversity is his usual style!

He laughed secretly in his heart, then leaned over and said to Li Weimin with a smile: "Weimin, big brother tells you that this tastes better than fish! You will know tonight!"

"Really? Turtle really tastes better than fish!"

"I lied to you that I was a puppy!"
