He alone ate six pies and two bowls of egg soup.

"Yulan, we are going fishing, you and your son eat at noon, don't wait for me!"

"I know, pay attention to safety, come back early."

"I know."

After eating and drinking, Cao Weiguo and the three of them took their fishing gear and went straight to Tonghui River.

Tonghui River is located in the east of Jingcheng and is a canal for water transport built in the Yuan Dynasty. The scenery along the river is beautiful, the water is abundant, and many people like to come here to fish.

Cao Weiguo found a position, put down his folding stool, and started his fishing career. The breeze in late spring and early summer blew, the willows were swaying, and the water was sparkling, making people feel refreshed.

"Up!"

"Brother Weiguo, it has to be you, you caught a fish so quickly."

Watching Cao Weiguo lift the rod, Liu Guangtian stared at the fat and big carp with bright eyes, thinking whether this big fish should be steamed or braised when taken home?

A large part of the reason why Liu Guangtian liked to find Cao Weiguo to fish was that Cao Weiguo had good fishing skills, and every time he would share one or two with him to satisfy his craving, and never let him return empty-handed.

"Catch the thief! Catch the thief!"

Liu Guangtian diligently helped put the carp into the bucket, when suddenly someone shouted to catch a thief, and several young people and a policeman were chasing while shouting.

"Oh!"

The thief holding the satchel fled for his life, and a passerby was rudely pushed down, screaming and falling to the ground.

"Bastard!"

Cao Weiguo's anger rose, he got up and threw the folding stool with all his might.

"Ah!"

Caught off guard, the thief's calf was hit by the folding stool, and he screamed and fell to the ground.

"Dare to manage the little master's business, the little master will kill you!"

Cao Weiguo ran over with clenched fists, the thief took out a spring knife from his back waist and climbed up fiercely.

Several people who came to help catch the thief were startled and stopped, not daring to get close.

This thief was only seventeen or eighteen years old, just at the age of not knowing the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth.

Because he was hit, the thief was annoyed in his heart, and rushed towards Cao Weiguo with the spring knife.

"Careful!"

"Young man, run!"

The surrounding crowd exclaimed one after another, Cao Weiguo rushed up in one step, his right hand grabbed the thief's wrist as fast as lightning, twisted hard, the thief let out a heart-piercing scream, and the spring knife also fell to the ground from his hand.

"Ah! My hand... broken! Broken! Let me go quickly! Otherwise, the little master will make your family ruined!"

"Ah!"

Hearing the thief's threat and intimidation, Cao Weiguo added force to his hand, raised his leg, and kicked the thief's calf.

"Crack!"

"Ah ah! My leg!"

This kick was full of power, the thief's calf was directly kicked broken, and he fell to the ground and screamed miserably.

Cao Weiguo stepped on the young man's arm: "At a young age, what are you not doing well, stealing things and being fierce, you shameful thing!

I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents first!"

"Well said!"

"The hateful thief should be beaten!"

"Not learning well at a young age!"

"Scum that harms society!"

The surrounding crowd gathered around, applauding and cheering one after another. A woman pointed at the thief with a hateful expression: "My wallet was stolen by him last month, this kind of scum should be beaten to death."

A middle-aged man said angrily: "I recognize him! This guy is a repeat offender, he was just released not long ago, a dog can't change eating shit, and he came out to steal again! He shouldn't have been released!"

"This kind of repeat thief should have his hands and feet chopped off!"

"Just shoot him to death!"

"These thieves should be severely punished!"

Just when the crowd was indignant, the policeman ran over panting: "Thank you, comrade!"

Cao Weiguo: "Nothing, no one who sees this kind of thief who harms society will indulge him."

The policeman asked a few questions, then handcuffed the thief, and called two young men to help carry him away.

Liu Guangtian said with lingering fear: "Brother Weiguo, you are too impulsive, the thief just took out the knife, how dangerous it is."

Cui Dake: "That's right, what if you get hurt."

Cao Weiguo laughed: "Hey! It's okay, this kind of petty thief can't hurt me, let's continue fishing."

Cui Dake shook his head: "Your heart is really big."

The three returned to the previous position, chatting while fishing.

Liu Guangtian whispered: "Brother Weiguo, I asked my dad yesterday, he said he didn't see the kind of cup you mentioned."

Cao Weiguo smiled: "If you haven't seen it, forget it, maybe Little Han saw it wrong."

The three fished for a whole morning, Liu Guangtian and Cui Dake had mediocre results, Cao Weiguo had a rich harvest, and when they were about to leave, several old men and women gathered around and exchanged most of their fish at a low price.

The remaining fish were divided equally among the three, leaving two each, and Liu Guangtian and Cui Dake were overjoyed.

Liu Guangtian and Cui Dake returned to the courtyard with fish, which made the neighbors envious.

"Dake, Guangtian, you have a good harvest today!"

"The size of this fish is really not small!"

"Dake, you can't eat much by yourself, share one with Auntie, Auntie won't take it for nothing, Auntie will exchange it with you for corn flour."

"I'm sorry, Auntie Gu, I have a use for this fish, let's talk next time."

"Brother Xu, come to my house for a drink tonight!"

"Good! We haven't had a drink together for a while."

After passing through the front courtyard, Cui Dake ran into Xu Damao and enthusiastically invited Xu Damao to his house for a drink.

Shazhu stood by the sink, spat on the ground unhappily: "Snakes and rats in the same nest!"

Liu Guangtian took the fish home, and the Second Aunt and Second Uncle were very happy.

Second Aunt smiled: "Guangtian, is this the fish you caught? It's really good, I'll stew fish for you tonight."

Liu Guangtian: "Mom! It's no problem to eat fish, but this fish can't be eaten for nothing. I'll give you the fish, but I want to pay two yuan less for food expenses next month."

Second Uncle pulled his face: "You want to fart! Food expenses cannot be less by a cent!"

Liu Guangtian: "If you want to say that, then don't eat this fish, I'll sell them to the cafeteria and exchange them for some money."

These two fish were not small, adding up to at least five or six jin.

Second Aunt grabbed Liu Guangtian's arm: "Guangtian, why did you learn from Yan Laoxi, calculating so clearly with the family for two fish."

Liu Guangtian: "I don't want to calculate so clearly either, but I pay so much food expenses every month, I don't even have money to buy new clothes. Look at my pants, how many times have they been mended."

Second Uncle: "That's your own lack of ability."

"Yes! You have ability, I don't have ability, Mom, Dad has great ability, if you want to eat fish, let Dad get it, I'll exchange this fish for some money, and save up to buy a new pair of pants."

Liu Guangtian took the fish and turned around and left the room, Second Uncle was so angry that he slapped the table: "How did I raise such a white-eyed wolf!"
