Siheyuan: The farm in my mind is in your hands.

“Brother, help me explain, you see my mother and Qin Huairu, they are not living together.”

Jia Dongxu came for help and counted on Chen Jianghe to help.

Among the younger generation in Siheyuan, what Chen Jianghe said had a kind of authority, and everyone trusted him and was willing to listen.

Seeing his brother say so, Chen Jianghe did not refuse.

However, his ideas are different from Dongxu's.

"Dongxu, your mother and your wife are right, you work every day, how can you have time to fish.

If you really can't hold it in and want to test the waters, you can borrow a fishing rod from Uncle San!

Back then, when I was broke, I borrowed a fishing rod from the third uncle, and then I started to trade by water."

That being said, Yan Bugui and his wife are well-known for being very calculating.

Anyone who can take advantage of them will definitely be a fighting cock among the stingy ones.

Back then, Chen Jianghe gave someone a fish, but the main reason was that he had just woken up in this world and was not familiar with the environment, so he had to be kind to others.

Of course, he is a good guy now.

"Chen Jianghe, what are you saying about me? I heard it from far away."

Yan Bugui has changed his clothes and come to the Intermediate Court to participate in the daily chat program.

The main thing is that I caught a fish today, so I have to show it off and let everyone envy me!

"Uncle, my brother just asked me to lend you my fishing rod."

Jia Dongxu's train of thought was very linear, and he immediately sold his brother out at a low price.

"You want to borrow my fishing rod? A pair of fishing lines and hooks only costs three cents. You can cut bamboo for free outside the eastern suburbs. Why are you asking me to borrow it?"

Yan Bugui knew that after Jia Dongxu became a regular employee, his salary was higher than that of a primary school teacher like him.

It doesn't make sense for someone who has more money to borrow things from someone who has less money.

However, the Jia family has no less food and drink than the Yan family, yet they still live a tight life.

Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi would never encourage Jia Dongxu's unlearned hobbies.

When Chen Jianghe saw this, he realized that Old Yan, the stingy man, rejected the person on the spot, not giving him any face at all!

"Uncle, is my bicycle easy to ride?"

"Don't mention it. I'll buy one sooner or later when I get a bicycle ticket!"

Speaking of bicycles, Yan Buguimei was delighted. Today he specially went for a stroll on Qianmen Street to show off his fish and bicycle.

There was also a pretty woman in the garment factory who asked him if the bicycle was borrowed. He could not admit it, so he immediately patted his chest and said that he bought it.

This feeling of being the center of attention is what it's like to be an emperor.

"That's fine. You can clean it up later. After that, Dongxu will ride to the eastern suburbs."

After Chen Jianghe said this, Yan Bugui suddenly realized that Chen Jianghe was supporting Jia Dongxu!

It was not in vain that I recognized him as my brother, so I started to get back the face for my brother.

"Well, I don't need a fishing rod when I go to school. Since Dongxu wants to have a try, he can just ask his third aunt to get something when I'm not home."

Anyway, if it gets damaged, Jia Dongxu will have to pay the price for it, so he won't lose anything.

"Hey! That's fine, that's fine."

Jia Dongxu was happy. He became more determined to cling to Chen Jianghe. Other people's words were effective!

"But speaking of which, Dongxu, what do you usually eat at the factory? See if you can find a way to save some money from the food expenses.

After all, it’s okay to use other people’s things occasionally, but it’s not right to do so for a long time.”

Chen Jianghe knew from Dongxu's physique that his brother must be short of oil and water, otherwise he would be as thin as a fish.

But skipping a meal or half a meal shouldn’t be a big problem.

"I only have one bowl of white flour, one steamed bread and one portion of cabbage. I can't even bear to eat two bowls of white flour."

Jia Dongxu said that this was already very economical. Those who did manual labor only had to eat two servings of white flour.

He has two children, and there are two more mouths to feed at home, so he has to live frugally.

"How about this, one cup of white flour is five cents, one cup of steamed bread is three cents, and you can choose one day to exchange the white flour for the steamed bread.

You can save two cents in one go, and after two times it will be four cents, which is more than enough to buy fishing line and hooks.

Go back to the eastern suburbs and pick a nice looking bamboo. It will be your bamboo pole."

Chen Jianghe has already made everything clear to everyone, and all that is left is for the Dongxu brothers to do as they are told and carry it out.

"Hey, your method is good and reliable!"

Jia Dongxu voluntarily lowered his food standards just to get a set of fishing equipment.

When the aunties in the courtyard heard this, they thought it was so cruel!

The workers in the steel rolling mill, especially those in the workshops, are supposed to do hard work. With the implementation of the policy of austerity, I wonder if Jia Dongxu will get sick from hunger.

Fortunately, others said that two meals will be enough.

After listening to Chen Jianghe's advice, Jia Dongxu also did some calculations himself.

Saving two cents a day is twenty cents in ten days, and two dollars in a hundred days!

This is a huge fortune! He must take it!

That means eating steamed bread for lunch and steamed bread for dinner every day... No, from now on, he must act quickly and accurately when eating dinner and try to eat white flour.

"No, Dongxu, why are you so excited?"

When Chen Jianghe saw his brother, his eyes lit up, like a dog seeing a meat bun!

Bah! This time I am scolding myself too...

"Brother, I understand. You are right. This is how we should live our lives!"

Dongxu has already made up his mind. Once he saves enough money, he will apply for retirement due to illness and let Qin Huairu take over.

"Okay then, it's getting late, I should go back."

Here, Chen Jianghe had just walked to the front yard when he saw Sha Zhu coming back in a hurry.

Not only did he come back late today, he didn't even bring his lunch box.

Fortunately, the He family had stored food, otherwise Yu Shui would have to experience the pain of hunger again.

"Hey, Chen Jianghe, I was looking for you!"

Sha Zhu was not in a hurry to go home, and ran to Chen Jianghe.

If you don’t know, you might think these two people have some deep hatred, and they are so aggressive that they almost push each other up against the wall.

"Oh my god, Zhuzi, please move back a little, I'm already against the wall!"

Unlike the faint floral scent on Lou Xiao'e, Sha Zhu smelled of sweat after running around all day.

Besides, it's weird for two grown men to be so close to each other.

"Oh, sorry, sorry, I was a little impatient."

Sha Zhu quickly took two steps back. These words sounded a bit unsound.

Could it be that his silly brother Shazhu simply changed his orientation because he couldn't find a wife?

Chen Jianghe calmly stepped aside, fearing that this brother would force himself on him.

"Zhu Zi, what's going on with you?" Chen Jianghe asked.

Regardless of anything else, you have to maintain your first-mover advantage.

"Oh, don't mention it. My second uncle has been acting strange these days. I mentioned this to you before.

I didn't go home after get off work, but waited for him at the place where he got the job.

Guess what, the reason why he went out early and came back late so many days was that he went to someone else's widow's house!"

Sha Zhu became more excited as he talked about this, mainly because the young woman was pretty and he was a little attracted to her.

"Ah?! You followed Lao Cai? Didn't he notice you?"

Chen Jianghe was devastated. It seemed that the uncle and nephew from the He family could not escape the fate of being targeted by the widow.

I just don’t know which one Xu Huizhen will choose this time.
