Siheyuan: Joined the Intelligence Department, my father is a national level
Chapter 9 Pheasant
Hearing the sound, Li Youquan looked back.
I saw the old man who was fishing in Nanhu Lake just now followed me all the way.
"Young man, don't rush to sell it out!"
"You keep your share first. I'll buy all the rest! Especially the ten-pound one. I want to keep it for my guests. Please leave it to me. I can pay double the price!"
The old man waved and walked quickly to Li Youquan.
Seeing this, Li Youquan smiled and said, "I say, old man, why didn't you say so earlier?"
"I have almost sold out all the fish here. There are only seven or eight left."
Li Youquan said this with great surprise. After hearing what Li Youquan said, the old man smiled and nodded.
"Of course! I have a large family, and I just want to give a few to my friends!"
"Then you can help me transfer the fish you want to sell into my bucket!"
The old man said cheerfully, pulling money out of his pocket to pay.
Li Youquan quickly and efficiently put the fish he was planning to resell into the old man's bucket.
A stack of banknotes was handed to Li Youquan.
Li Youquan quickly counted the banknotes the old man handed to him.
The amount is just right, neither too much nor too little.
"Okay! This money is just right, old man! It's getting late and my sister and I should go home!"
"If we are destined to be together, we will see you next time!"
Li Youquan said this and raised his hand and waved to the old man as a farewell.
Honghong, who was standing nearby, raised her hand and waved, saying:
"Goodbye, Grandpa!"
The old man looked at Li Youquan and Honghong with a kind smile on his face, nodded slightly and said:
"Okay! Young man, I often go fishing in Nanhu Park! If you come here to fish again in the future, you should be able to run into me again!"
"I see you're a pretty good fisherman! You're also very lucky! If you can catch such a big fish again in the future, I'll buy it from you!"
Li Youquan knew that the old man was not short of money, and he was very happy to hear that he was willing to be his repeat customer.
This way, if his family ever becomes hard-pressed in the future, he can rely on fishing to supplement the family income!
"Thank you so much, old man! See you later!"
Li Youquan said goodbye to the old man again, then took his things and took Honghong away from Nanhu Park.
On the way, Li Youquan counted the money he had earned from selling fish in Nanhu Park, a total of twenty yuan!
This amount of money is not a small sum nowadays!
That’s nearly a month’s salary for an ordinary worker!
With twenty yuan in his hand, Li Youquan decided to use the money to improve his family's food.
He took Honghong to the market and bought two kilograms of pork heads, two kilograms of raw pork and some fresh vegetables.
On the way home, Li Youquan bought two more candied haws, one for Honghong and the other for his aunt.
He has been bedridden during this period, and Li Huifen has been taking care of him at home with all her heart, and she has become much more haggard.
Li Youquan knew that his aunt liked to eat these things, but because her family was poor, she was reluctant to buy them for herself, so he specially saved one for her.
After everything was ready, Li Youquan returned to Nanluoguxiang carrying bags of different sizes and a bucket containing three big fish.
"Hey! Arizumi! Are you cured?!"
"I haven't seen you in our alley for a long time!"
As soon as Li Youquan passed the gate of No. 94 Nanluoguxiang, he heard a middle-aged man's voice coming from their compound.
Li Youquan stopped and turned his head to look into the courtyard.
I saw a middle-aged man in a black jacket trotting out of the yard with a smile on his face.
This middle-aged man is Director Han, who is in charge of the purchasing department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.
Li Youquan had applied for a job a few years ago, but was unable to join the factory because the purchasing position was full.
However, after a few visits, I got to know Director Han and we have had a good relationship over the years.
"Hey, Director Han!"
"It's been a long time!"
"Those were just minor illnesses of mine, and I'm completely healed now!"
After hearing what Li Youquan said, Director Han smiled kindly:
"Okay! As long as you recover from your illness!"
"You young people are all strong and healthy! You will recover quickly!"
"A few days ago, I heard from your aunt that you were so sick that you couldn't get out of bed! I didn't expect you to be so energetic today!"
"Did you take Hong Hong out shopping? You bought so many good things! It's just right for you to replenish your body after recovering from a serious illness!"
Director Han spoke enthusiastically.
She reached into her pocket, took out a handful of Mickey Mouse candies, handed them to Honghong, and said with a smile:
"Come on, Honghong. I have a few candies here. Have some."
Director Han said this with a smile in his eyes.
Mickey Mouse Milk Candy is the predecessor of White Rabbit Milk Candy. It is considered the best candy and a rare item today.
As the saying goes, no reward without merit.
When Director Han took out those pieces of candy and handed them to Honghong, Li Youquan knew that Director Han must have something to trouble him with.
Li Huifen taught Honghong not to take other people's things casually since she was young.
Now looking at the candy handed to her by Director Han, although she was greedy, she still looked at her brother hesitantly.
She looked at her brother and asked if he could take the candy that Director Han handed to him.
Before Li Youquan fell ill, he relied on hunting to supplement his family income. This was the only skill he had.
If Director Han asked him to do something, it must be related to hunting.
Their family is penniless now, so they must seize this opportunity to make money!
Li Youquan thought silently in his heart. He smiled and glanced at Honghong who was standing beside him, nodded and said:
"It's okay, Honghong. Director Han will give you some candy, so just take it."
When Honghong heard that her brother agreed to let her take the candy, her heart was filled with joy and her eyes instantly sparkled.
She quickly looked at Director Han who was standing in front of her, and took the candy from Director Han's hand with a smile.
"Thank you Director Han!"
Honghong said in a sweet voice.
Director Han thought she was very cute, so he smiled and reached out to touch her head.
Seeing that he had accepted Director Han's favor, Li Youquan also sensibly said:
"Director Han, I'm recovered from my illness now. I'll go hunting in the mountains again in two days. If you need anything, please tell me and I'll bring it back for you!"
Director Han was about to discuss this with Li Youquan. When he heard what he said, Director Han immediately smiled and said:
"I really need you to bring something for me!"
"I heard that wild pheasants have high nutritional value, but unfortunately they are difficult to purchase on the market."
"Next time you go hunting, if you happen to see a pheasant, can you bring back two? I'll give you money then!"
"Even if you don't have pheasants, you can bring back something else! I'll charge a high price for it!"
Li Youquan had long guessed that Director Han wanted him to bring something. Hearing Director Han's words, he smiled and nodded.
"Okay! Director Han, don't worry! I'll go to the mountain to help you hunt pheasants tomorrow!"
"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first! I didn't tell my aunt that I was leaving this time. If she goes back and sees that I'm not at home, she'll probably be worried!"
