"Big Brother, did you get anything?”
After the young man handed over the bowl of noodles, he squatted beside it and waited. He had to take the bowl back, so he could be a little lazy.
Li Wuwei took a mouthful of noodles and said with a smile,""You don't understand. Fishing is about the state of mind. Whether there's a harvest or not, you have to be happy for a day.”
"Then you're really free! You're not working."
What state of mind was there to talk about? Could it be eaten?
"I'm not idle. Jiang Ziya didn't come out until he was in his seventies.”
Li Wuwei said as he ate the noodles. He didn't forget to eat the noodles. If they were cold, they wouldn't be delicious anymore.
"Yo, big brother, you've been waiting for a long time. You're not getting a wife anymore.”
"Young man, you don't understand. Even Jiang Ziya has a wife. My wife is working to earn money."
Li Wuwei took a big bite of the fried egg. It was fragrant.
The young man felt as if he had been struck by lightning. How could someone like you have a wife? He worked every day and even gave you big meat noodles. In the end, he was still single.
All of a sudden, the young man felt that life was meaningless. If he waited until he retired at the age of 60 to fish, he would be decades later than others!
Li Wuwei ate the noodles in big mouthfuls and drank the soup in the end. He didn't want to waste any food.
"Alright, I'll give you the bowl. Go back and work hard. Hard work makes people rich.”
"Hey!"
The young man took the bowl and chopsticks and turned around. For some reason, he wanted to run away from this person.
In the middle of the afternoon, Li Wuwei put away his fishing rod. As expected, he was in the air force today and had caught a lonesome fish.
However, when he returned, there was already a big fish weighing about three pounds hanging from the handle of the car. It was enough to eat.
"Aiyo, you've caught another big fish.”
Yan Bugui had already returned to the courtyard. He was teaching the lower grades, and school ended at three o'clock. The primary school students still didn't know how to roll their papers.
"I've been busy all day, and there's only one. There's nothing to do.”
Li Wuwei was very humble because it was no different from buying it himself.
"Aiyo, this is called not doing anything. I've made a fortune.”
Yan Bugui's eyes were burning with desire. He had gone fishing several times before, but he had only caught a small fish that was three fingers wide once, and he had been happy for several days.
"I can't talk anymore. I have to go back to Da Mao. Oh right, is Da Mao back?"
Li Wuwei's cooking skills were not good enough in both his lifetimes. He had to ask for help to prepare the food. When his wife came back, he could cook dumplings. It would be nice to eat early after the new year.
"He just came back."
Yan Bugui was still looking at the fish. Why wasn't he so lucky? No way, he had to ask Li Wuwei to go with him some other day to borrow some luck.
"It's good that you're back. I have something to discuss with him, so I'll be leaving first.”
Li Wuwei pushed his bicycle and rushed to the middle court. There were houses on both sides of the corridor, and four families lived there.
"Look, Li Wuwei caught another fish.”
"That's true. His luck is too good. He's another big fish that can pay someone a day's wages.”
"Li Wuwei, other than his bad character and lack of morals, is quite outstanding in other aspects. He's much better than Jia Dongxu.”
The people in the courtyard discussed animatedly.
Jia Zhang-shi heard the commotion and opened the door curtain to come out. When she saw that the bad boy had really caught a fish, she hated the heavens for not opening her eyes and letting the bad guy enjoy the glory while the honest person shed tears.
Li Wuwei didn't have the time to show off today. He quickly went to the backyard and shouted," Damao, are you back?"”
"Li Wuwei, why are you calling my Da Mao? He's kneading dough inside."
Mama Xu came out of the house to take a look." Yo, you caught another fish. You're really something."”
"It's been at the moat for a day, and there's only one. Sister Xu, my culinary skills aren't good enough. I want to ask Da Mao to come over and help. He can also practice his culinary skills.”
Li Wuwei originally wanted to look for He Daqing, but when he thought that others also wanted to cook, he simply invited Da Mao.
"Alright, I'll call someone out now.”
Mother Xu was worried that her son wouldn't be able to eat hot food after they moved away. She had been training hard recently, hoping that her son would become a chef.
After a while, Xu Damao came out of the house with a numb face. His arm was still stained with flour.
"Li Wuwei, you want me to help you cook? You're insulting my character!"
"Damao, look at what you're saying. Who's with who? When your wife marries into the courtyard, she'll still have to rely on her neighbors to help each other out.
I'm in the hospital every day. There will be many opportunities to help your wife in the future. You have to be grateful.”
Li Wuwei knew that Xu Damao was a despicable person, but he was at most a bronze smurf right now. He hadn't gone through any training yet, so he could easily manipulate him.
"Don't, don't help my wife."
Xu Damao was anxious. You're lying. Don't lie to my wife.
"It's fine if you don't want to help. Come quickly and help me cook a New Year's dinner. Let me see how your cooking is.”
Li Wuwei pulled Xu Damao into the house and took out the groceries he bought in the morning and some things he needed.
"Help me stew this big bone. Stew it a little thicker. If you want to cause trouble, send a bowl to my Sister Xu later.
Also, chop the ribs and make braised ribs. The pork was chopped into fillings and mixed with onions to make a scallion-flavored filling. Then, he distributed three catties of white flour, rolled them into dumpling skins, and wrapped them all.
Oh right, there's also this fish. Put some pickled vegetables and stew it with pickled vegetables. Then cook two sausages. That's about it. I'm optimistic about you.”
Xu Damao's face was numb. It took him a while to recover and say,"Can you finish three catties of white flour?"
"You can still eat it tomorrow. It's good that you can even make fried dumplings. Hurry up and get busy. Why don't I call Fengling over to help you?”
Li Wuwei really wanted to find a helper for him. He couldn't do the work. A gentleman stayed away from the kitchen.
"No, let my sister rest! She doesn't have the strength to chop the fillings."
Xu Damao was still quite protective of his sister. Even if he wanted to harm his parents, he would not harm his sister.
"Alright, then you can start working. I'll get Fengling to try your cooking later. I still have something to do, so I won't entertain you.”
Li Wuwei followed him to the main room and took out half a bowl of peanuts from the cabinet. He then took out a bottle of wine and poured half a small bottle of wine. He started drinking. He wanted to save up money to buy a radio tomorrow so that he could listen to the sound.
"I…"
Of course, Xu Damao wanted to smash the big bone, but he remembered that his mother also wanted to drink this soup.
Suddenly, he wanted to step on the meat a few times, but he immediately thought that his sister would eat it.
"Since you gave birth to Yu, why did you give birth to Liang!"
Xu Damao wanted to cry but had no tears. He seemed to be trapped by Li Wuwei and could not do anything bad.
He thought about his future wife and how he would have to face Li Wuwei in the courtyard every day. He thought that it would be better for him to move to his old house. At least he would be safe.
However, he was worried about leaving his mother and sister behind.
For a moment, no matter what, he could only take it one step at a time. He had to cook this meal for her first and then find an opportunity to counterattack!
After a while, Yan Bugui came over with some of the flower fertilizer he had made.
"Yo, you're drinking alone."
"It's Third Uncle. Look at you. You're still taking care of the potted plants for me every day. Come over quickly. Let's have a drink.”
Li Wuwei didn't mind losing some wine during the New Year. It was like giving out cigarettes. It didn't count as money.
He had also quit smoking for the time being. If he did not drink a little, what fun would there be in life?
"That's good!"
Yan Bugui hurriedly entered the house. Wasn't this a good deal? There were still peanuts.
Li Wuwei poured a bottle of wine for them. He didn't even use chopsticks. Instead, he used his hands to eat the peanuts. Only then did it taste good.
Yanbu Guizi took a sip of wine, feeling that this was what life was like.
"Hey, Li Wuwei, is there anyone else in your house? Why do I hear movement in the kitchen?”
"Third Master, Xu Damao is busy. Don't worry about him.”
Li Wuwei didn't want Xu Damaoshe to die either. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to trick him into helping next time.
"No, he's helping you cook? No, I have to go and take a look."
Yan Bugui grabbed a handful of peanuts and didn't forget to run to the kitchen with the wine glass.
"Da Mao, it really is you!"
In the kitchen, Xu Damao was wearing an apron and was chopping the meat stuffing with all his might. The big bones in the pot beside him had already been stewed, and the meat soup was boiling and fragrant.
"It's Third Uncle!"
Xu Damao turned his head and revealed a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Da Mao, why did you…Li Wuwei threaten you?”
Yan Bugui's brain was spinning fast, and he didn't expect Li Wuwei to be able to scheme against him.
"I'm not threatening him. His cooking skills are not good, so I took the initiative to help him. We're good brothers.”
Xu Damao did not know how to explain, so he could only flatter himself.
"Good, you're doing a good deed. Go ahead, I still have to drink with Li Wuwei.”
Yan Bugui left with mixed feelings. There was another one in the courtyard. Fortunately, he didn't know how to cook. Otherwise, he might have swapped seats with Xu Damao.
When they reached the house, Yan Bugui couldn't help but ask,""Li Wuwei, how did you deceive Xu Damao?”
"Why would I lie to him? He and I are good brothers.”
Li Wuwei had a sincere look on his face. Good brothers, forever.
Yan Bugui thought to himself,'The two words' brother 'are almost ruined by you. Isn't that Brother Dongxu miserable enough?'
"Li Wuwei, I see that something is missing from your window.
There's a craft class at school today. The students cut a lot and asked me to collect them. I'll send some over later to stick on the window. It's festive.”
Yan Bugui was afraid. He thought that he had drunk wine and didn't want to lose a lot because of a small gain.
"Third Uncle, you're too polite. It just so happens that I don't have glue at home. Help me put it on.”
Li Wuwei didn't think that the dignified Third Master would have such a mindset and rush to help him? Was he influenced by the light of the righteous path he emitted?
"This is a small matter. I like to stick window grilles.”
Yan Bugui drank a mouthful of wine with tears in his eyes and grabbed two peanuts. At least he didn't lose out and was much better than Xu Damao.
