The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

Chapter 624: Encounter with Ding Qiunan

I don’t know if it’s because he was willing to put out the bait, but Liu Minghui didn’t cheat this morning and the small bucket was almost full.

As for Yan Bugui who was standing by, he only caught a few small fish weighing two or three taels.

Most people would definitely let it go back. After all, one should not overdo things. At least one should not kill all the fish. One should leave room for those who come later to catch some fish.

But Yan Bugui didn't think so. No matter how big the fish was, unless it was a small fish fry, as long as it could bite the hook, Yan Bugui would not let it go.

For Yan Bugui, this small fish can be used to cook a pot of fish soup, which is also a very delicious delicacy.

After all, he is not like others who come fishing to cultivate their sentiments. He comes fishing to supplement his family income.

Therefore, when faced with strange looks from others, Yan Bugui would shamelessly say that he couldn't see them.

Suddenly, when Liu Minghui was pulling up another fish, he suddenly saw a person.

"Ding Qiunan."

Liu Minghui saw Ding Qiunan walking by the lake with several classmates not far away.

Then he shouted.

Ding Qiunan was talking to her classmates when she heard someone calling her. She turned around and saw it was Liu Minghui, and she immediately smiled.

She just said something to her classmates and then walked towards Liu Minghui.

"Brother Liu, why are you here too?"

Ding Qiunan came over, stood beside Liu Minghui, and asked with a smile: "Why did you catch so many fish?"

Looking at the bucket next to Liu Minghui, Ding Qiunan was surprised.

"That is, who else could it be but me?"

Liu Minghui proudly stated that his fishing skills were not exaggerated.

"By the way, you guys have today off?"

Liu Minghui asked Ding Qiunan curiously.

"Yeah, this place is close to our school, so let's come over for a walk."

Ding Qiunan nodded in response.

At this time, several of Ding Qiunan’s classmates who were not far away also came over.

A young girl asked Ding Qiunan: "Qiunan, is this your boyfriend?"

When the other party saw Ding Qiunan and Liu Minghui talking and laughing, they thought there was something going on between them.

A boy who was traveling with them became nervous when he heard this, fearing that Ding Qiunan would really nod in agreement.

"What are you talking about? He is my brother, okay?"

Ding Qiunan knew that although the two had a relationship, he couldn't say it in such an occasion, so he said that Liu Minghui was his brother.

This way, others won't have any random thoughts.

"So he is Qiu Nan's brother. Why doesn't he look like him?"

The girl who just asked the question said jokingly.

"What nonsense are you talking about? The child is already several years old."

Ding Qiunan quickly covered her friend's mouth, not wanting him to continue speaking, otherwise what was not a problem would become a problem.

"Minghui, why does this girl look familiar?"

Yan Bugui, who was not far away, saw Ding Qiunan coming and asked curiously.

"Hasn't this been to our yard before?"

"you forgot?"

Liu Minghui responded with a smile.

Yan Bugui thought about it carefully for a long time, then he slapped his forehead and said, "I remember now. He did come to our compound during the Chinese New Year last year."

Ding Qiunan also greeted Yan Bugui with a smile.

One of Ding Qiunan's classmates asked.

"Qiu Nan, are we still going to play?"

When several people saw Ding Qiunan meet Liu Minghui here, they asked for her opinion.

If Ding Qiunan didn't go, then they would have to leave.

Ding Qiunan looked at Liu Minghui, wanting to see what he would say.

"You guys go ahead and have fun. I still have to go fishing. Come over to my house more often when you have time."

"Your sister-in-law Yu Li still talks about you all the time."

Seeing this, Liu Minghui said with a smile.

Ding Qiunan's studies are expected to be completed in the second half of this year. After all, she did not go through the normal channel, but was recommended by the steel mill. People like her usually graduate in about two years.

Then she would return to the steel mill and continue working as a doctor.

Of course, there is competition for this position. After all, academic qualifications are still very important when it comes to promotion.

However, Ding Qiunan had Liu Minghui's help, so he got the spot without much effort.

"Then I'll leave first and go see Sister Yu Li another day."

Ding Qiunan said something to Liu Minghui and left with several of her classmates.

After everyone left, Yan Bugui asked, "Minghui, is this girl studying medicine?"

"That's right, how did you figure that out?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Minghui looked at Yan Bugui curiously, wondering how the other party saw it.

"Hey, my nose is quite sharp. After they came over, I could smell the smell of medicinal herbs. Isn't that obvious?"

Yan Bugui said complacently.

"That's true."

Liu Minghui was a little amused. This Yan Bugui was so expensive. He even showed it off. It was really speechless.

The two men didn't return to the courtyard until almost four o'clock in the afternoon. For Yan Bugui, it was too early to go back to the courtyard, but Liu Minghui could no longer fish.

After all, the buckets were full. Later, Yan Bugui was no longer envious, but only jealous. He thought that the position he chose was the best, but he didn't expect that Liu Minghui, who was less than ten meters away, was catching fish all day long, while he only caught some small fish weighing two or three taels. Yan Bugui was very angry.

On the way back, Yan Bugui told Liu Minghui not to fish next to him next time. He said that it was because of Liu Minghui that all his fish were taken away.

Otherwise, he would have definitely returned with a full load, not like now, with only small fish, not a single one weighing more than one kilogram, and it would be difficult to even cook fish soup with them back.

"Hey, how come you caught so many fish?"

“What a bountiful harvest.”

Liu Minghui entered the yard first, and as soon as he came in, the full bucket of fish was seen by others.

"Minghui, did you catch all these fish?"

Yan Bugui's wife, Aunt Yang, was a little skeptical. She wondered if Yan Bugui had caught too many fish and couldn't fit them all in, so he gave them to Liu Minghui.

"Of course, Teacher Yan is behind us, and he has also gained a lot."

Liu Minghui said happily.

Then Aunt Yang stood up hurriedly, intending to bypass Liu Minghui and go to greet Yan Bugui's return.

"I was just saying, your uncle is such a great fisherman, and if you can catch so much, he must be no worse."

Little did they know that Yan Bugui, who had just entered the yard, happened to hear these words and his face immediately turned dark.

"Old man, how many fish have you caught? Show me now."

Aunt Yang didn't notice Yan Bugui's expression, she just kept looking at Yan Bugui's bucket.

"What are you looking at? Can't you just go home and watch it secretly by yourself?"

There were still quite a few people in the front yard at this time. Yan Bugui didn't want to lose face, so he hid the bucket behind him and covered it with a rag so that no one could see it.

"Okay, I'll go back and read it thoroughly."
