Siheyuan: Joined the Intelligence Department, my father is a national level

Qin Huairu was brainwashing herself to suppress the jealousy in her heart while quickly washing the vegetables in the basin.

The more she talked, the more she felt that Li Youquan was a loser, and no matter how she looked at him, he was not as good as her own Jia Dongxu.

Finally, she drained the water from the vegetable basin triumphantly, picked up the basin and went home.

Li Youquan held Honghong's hand and walked all the way to the front yard.

Yu Li, who had just broken up with him a few days ago, was coming back from outside holding Yan Jiecheng's arm.

The two were originally talking and laughing, but the moment they saw Li Youquan, they both stopped smiling.

Yan Jiecheng glanced at Li Youquan with disdain, while Yu Li lowered her head in embarrassment.

Li Youquan walked past the two of them with confidence and walked out of the compound as if he didn't see them.

Watching Li Youquan leaving, Yan Jiecheng glanced at him and then turned back to Yu Li and whispered:

"Yu Li, did you see that? Fortunately, you didn't get together with Li Youquan. You're so old and still don't have a proper job. You stay at home all day to help his aunt take care of the children. What kind of future can such a man have!"

"You've chosen the right person by following me! If you marry Li Youquan, you'll have a hard time in the future!"

Yan Jiecheng said proudly.

Yu Li listened to what Yan Jiecheng said, she smiled slightly and said in a slightly shy tone:

"That's right! Li Youquan usually makes a little money by hunting in the mountains. It's obvious that he is not someone who can make a living!"

"Xie Cheng is still the best for you. You have a small position in the cotton mill. From now on, we can live a down-to-earth life!"

As Yu Li spoke, she put her arm around Yan Jiecheng and a happy smile appeared on her face.

Li Youquan and Honghong had already walked out of Nanluoguxiang.

He didn't hear what Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li said.

He was even unaware of Qin Huairu's whispered criticism of him.

He held Honghong's hand and walked all the way to Nanhu Park.

It was winter and there was a thick layer of ice on the surface of Nanhu Park, but there were still many people holding stools and digging holes in the lake to fish.

Honghong stood on the side of the road looking at the thick layer of ice on the lake. She frowned slightly and looked up at Li Youquan with some confusion.

"Brother, the lake is frozen now. Can we really catch any fish? The fish won't be frozen under the water!"

Honghong's big eyes were full of doubts. After Li Youquan heard what Honghong said.

He smiled and touched her head, and said gently:

"Of course you can catch fish! Although the lake is frozen, it's just a layer of ice on the surface. There are still fish swimming under the ice."

"And after the ice is broken, the fish at the bottom of the water will have more oxygen and will naturally gather here."

"Come on, brother will take you to the lake to fish!"

Li Youquan said this as he took Honghong's hand and led her all the way to the lake.

After arriving at the lake, Li Youquan found a large stone from the shore and smashed it onto the ice on the lake.

After hitting it repeatedly, a big hole appeared on the surface of the lake.

After pushing the ice debris aside from the hole, Li Youquan set up his stool and prepared to fish.

"Let's try the mud balls first to see how it feels! That way we won't waste the bait."

Li Youquan had an idea and found some weeds nearby and mixed them with some mud to use as bait. Then he used a needle he brought from home to bend it into the shape of a fish hook.

Then he hung the homemade mud ball bait on the hook and was about to cast the rod to fish.

An old man's deep voice suddenly came from the side.

"Young man, this isn't your bait, is it?"

"How can you possibly catch a fish with just this little bit of mud and weeds? Not to mention whether the fish will eat your bait."

"If this mud and weeds are soaked in water, they will soon disperse. Are you trying to imitate Jiang Taigong fishing?"

After hearing the voice, Li Youquan immediately looked to the side and saw an old man looking at him with a helpless smile.

The old man looked energetic and was wearing a brand new black cotton jacket.

Although his hair is half white, his face is ruddy, his eyes are bright, and his body looks very strong.

The fishing rod in his hand was not made of bamboo like Li Youquan's fishing rod, but a very professional metal fishing rod.

There is even a string of foreign words engraved on the handle of the fishing rod. It is probably an imported product and it looks very expensive.

Li Youquan could tell at a glance that this old gentleman was definitely not a simple person.

Of course, he never imagined that rich and powerful people could understand his situation.

After hearing what the old man said, he just smiled calmly and said:

"Old man, if I really had the means, I wouldn't use this weeds and mud to fish."

"But given my current situation, I can only take a gamble with these conditions."

"My family lives in poverty, and the only way to improve our food supply is to go fishing."

"They say practice makes perfect. How can you know if it works if you don't try? Even if you can only catch a small grass carp to nourish my sister, it's fine!"

Li Youquan said this with sincerity in his eyes.

The old man was moved when he heard what Li Youquan said. He glanced at Honghong who was standing next to Li Youquan.

The little girl looked pale and thin, and her hair had turned yellow probably due to malnutrition. She looked so pitiful.

However, in this era, there are many children like Honghong.

The old man sighed helplessly upon hearing this and said:

"Indeed, young man, you are right. Sometimes you don't know the result unless you try."

"This little girl must be your sister. I just happened to catch a few small grass carps today. If you don't catch any fish today, I'll give you one."

Li Youquan knew from the old man's outfit that he was not an ordinary person. He probably came here to fish just to kill time and have fun.

When Li Youquan heard the old man say that he wanted to give him a small grass carp, he did not refuse hypocritically, but smiled and said:

"Thank you so much, old man! I'll go fishing first! If I can catch it myself, you won't have to give me the fish!"

When Honghong heard her brother thank the old man, he immediately spoke in a sweet voice:

"Thank you, grandpa! You are such a kind person!"

Seeing how sensible the brother and sister were, the old man immediately grinned.

"Okay, then you guys go ahead and fish first! If you want fish later, just tell me! The fish in this bucket are all about the same size, so take any you like!"

When Li Youquan heard what the old man said, he smiled and thanked him, then he cast his rod and started fishing.

Time passed by minute by minute, and there was no movement on the fishing rod.

Li Youquan pulled up the fishing rod and took a look, only to see that the grass he had just hung up in exchange for the mud had already dissolved in the water.

"Haha, it seems that this method is really too fantastic. The bait melted in a short while!"

"Honghong, go to the river and help me pick some more water plants. I'll try again!"

After sending Honghong away.

Li Youquan took out the top-quality fish bait that he had been rewarded with from the space and hung it on the fishhook.

Taking a closer look, this ball of fish bait looks exactly like a mixture of water plants and mud.

I don’t know whether it is useful or not.
