Siheyuan: All the birds want to die, I enjoy happiness

It was truly a case of searching for something unsuccessfully, yet finding it without any effort. He had just left the house when he ran into the two children of the Yan family returning with a bucket full of fish. He knew that the extra fish in their family could be traded for something, so he quickly turned around and called out to Yan Jiecheng, "Hey, Jiecheng, don't leave so quickly."

"Uncle Xu, what's the matter?" Yan Jiecheng heard Xu Youcai calling him, then turned around and spoke.

"Well... can your family exchange something for fish? I see there's quite a lot of rain in your bucket, so I was thinking of exchanging two fish with you?" Xu Youcai rubbed his hands and said.

"Uncle Xu, you want to exchange fish? That's fine, but why don't you come back home with me and ask my dad how much you can exchange it for. I'm not sure exactly how much." Yan Jiecheng heard that he wanted to exchange fish, and said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll go with you." Xu Youcai nodded and followed.

"Dad, Dad, Uncle Xu wants to exchange fish with us." Yan Jiecheng walked into the house, put down the fish bucket, and then shouted into the house.

"Hey, here I come." Yan Bugui was in the house. When he heard his son talking, he came out immediately. Needless to say, after hearing this, he must have caught a lot of fish again.

He heard that it was Xu Youcai who wanted to exchange the fish, so of course he smiled happily and walked out, "Old Xu, you want to exchange the fish? Fine, but what extra things do you have at home right now? I'll see if I can exchange them. There are some things I don't need, so there's no need to exchange them, right?"

"That's right. Let me think about this. What can I have at home that I can trade with you?" After saying this, Xu Youcai immediately thought about what he had in his home. "Oh, right, what about some free-range eggs from the countryside?" Xu Youcai immediately thought of the free-range eggs that other villagers had "given" to him when he went to the countryside to show a movie some time ago. He brought back two baskets of them when he came back, and after the Lunar New Year, he still had one basket left. This was because the weather was cold. If it were warmer, I'm afraid all these eggs would have gone bad.

"Country eggs? Okay! Then go get them. Do you want to exchange them for a few fish?" Yan Bugui adjusted the frame of his glasses and spoke.

"Two fish, they don't have to be too big, just enough for me to make some soup." Xu Youcai thought for a moment and said.

"How about this, I'll pick two similar fish with 15 eggs. Do you think it's okay?" Yan Bugui said.

"Of course, I'll get it for you now." After saying that, Xu Youcai turned around and prepared to go home to get some free-range eggs for Yan Bugui. He had just turned around and taken two steps when Yan Bugui stopped him and said, "Old Xu, take the fish home first. You can bring the eggs over later. It's okay."

"Ah? Oh, okay, okay, okay." Xu Youcai never thought that Yan Bugui would call him directly and ask him to take the fish back and come back to deliver the eggs later. If it were in the past, he would definitely not do this. According to Xu Youcai's understanding of Yan Bugui, this is a stingy guy.

How come he can now let me take the things back directly? If it were the previous Yan Bugui, he would probably wish others would send the things to him and would not be willing to give the fish to others.
