Cao Cao Weiguo, who was in a good mood, gave them each a piece of White Rabbit creamy candy, causing the children to cheer.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo was not afraid of the neighbors saying he was \"showing off,\" who let him be in a good mood today?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Today is the day Sun Chao and Li Jiannan settle accounts. The business of these two people is getting bigger and bigger, and they are gradually moving from the capital to other places. Compared with the capital of a country, other places are relatively loose, and the poorer the place, the easier it is to do business, and the more profitable it is to go south and northeast.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sun Chao earned more than 30,000 Brother Yuan in Shijiazhuang last month. You know, this is the 1960s, and the monthly salary of ordinary workers is only between 30 and 50. And Sun Chao brought back more than 10,000 Brother Yuan of pure profit for him in just one month, and these pure profits were exchanged for small gold bars on the black market, making his gold reserves grow a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although Sun Chao is not as daring as Liu Shan, he has a flexible mind, is smooth in handling affairs, and is a good hand at doing business. Because of his strong ability to make money, he has been entrusted with important tasks by Cao Cao Weiguo and has taken over the business comprehensively. As for Liu Shan, he has run away to Xiangjiang and, under the arrangement of Cao Cao Weiguo, assists Lou Lou Xiaoe in doing business in Xiangjiang.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>To say this Liu Shan is also unlucky, during his time in Baoding, he had a conflict with the local snake, and accidentally beat a local snake into a fool. The local snake’s father had a lot of weight in the local officialdom, and he chased Liu Shan until he had no way, so he had to run away to Tianjin overnight, then took the train to the south, and fled to Xiangjiang in a gray-faced manner, becoming a refugee who abandoned his family and business.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, he wrote back recently, saying that he is doing quite well in Xiangjiang, saying that Xiangjiang is full of gold everywhere, and he has earned a lot of money under the care of Lou Lou Xiaoe, bought a house, opened a restaurant, and married an eighteen-year-old beautiful girl as his wife.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Learning that Liu Shan had a place to stay in Xiangjiang, Sun Chao felt relieved and focused on making a living. Although they envied the Xiangjiang described by Liu Shan, the golden nest and silver nest are not as good as their own dog nest, and their parents are all in the capital, so they cannot abandon their parents to go to the distant Xiangjiang to fight. Even Liu Shan, who enjoys happiness in Xiangjiang, was forced to run away, leaving his old mother to them to take care of. If he could, he probably wouldn't go to Xiangjiang where he was unfamiliar.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Besides Sun Chao’s group, Li Jiannan’s business is not inferior. He took the business to Chengde and bought things to the northeast through Chengde. The current northeast is the \"industrial cradle\" of New China, with a high level of industry, perfect infrastructure, good treatment for workers, high living standards, and consumer demand that is more prosperous than the capital. Workers don't lack money to buy things, and private transactions are quite loose compared to the capital. As long as things are transported there, they don't worry about selling.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>With these two groups of people helping him accumulate original capital, seeing the gold reserves in his pocket getting more and more, Cao Cao Weiguo’s mood was naturally exceptionally good. Just waiting for the right time, he could set sail and travel around the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Returning home beautifully, Cao Cao Weiguo poured the fish into the laundry basin.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Because today is Sunday, Song Song Yulan is also at home accompanying the children, and Song Cousin Yujuan is sweeping the courtyard. Seeing Cao Cao Weiguo bring back so many fish, the two women were very happy, and Cao Ping'an happily put his hand into the laundry basin to catch the fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Red Star Courtyard, a group of grandpas and grandmas were cooling off under the tree, chatting while doing the work in their hands. Some were holding dry tobacco pipes and puffing, some were picking vegetables, some were pasting paper boxes, some were making shoe soles... not many people were idle.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A grandma came back from outside and teased Yan Yan Fugui: \"Old Yan, you say you go fishing every three days, you can be considered a master, but I haven't seen you bring back a few big fish. Look at Cao Cao Weiguo, who is young, and every time he goes out fishing, he returns with a full load. Just now I glanced at it, and there are at least six or seven fish in his water bucket, each one is good, fat and big, looking at it makes people drool. You, why don't you buy a few bottles of wine and ask Cao Cao Weiguo to teach you a few tricks, so you don't have to waste your effort getting up early every day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yan Yan Fugui refused to accept it: \"Hey, who are you damaging? How did I waste my effort? I was fishing when Cao Cao Weiguo was still wearing open-crotch pants. Do I need him to teach me? How do you know I didn't catch big fish? The big fish I caught were exchanged for rations, that’s because you didn't see it. If I had a high salary like Cao Cao Weiguo, I would also bring the fish back, and then I would stew a pot and make you drool.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Jia Jia Zhangshi poked the shoe sole hard: \"Cao Cao Weiguo, this stingy person who should be cut a thousand times, only cares about his own eating and drinking, and conditions are so good, he still goes out fishing, and after fishing so many fish, he doesn't know how to share two with the neighbors. He eats alone all day, and he is not afraid of being choked by fish bones.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Chi Ping'an’s mother, Sun Zhang Dama, was unhappy and glared at Jia Jia Zhangshi and scolded: \"Jia Jia Zhangshi, your mouth is too poisonous. Cao Cao Weiguo caught the fish with his own ability, he can eat it however he wants. What are you saying here with yin and yang, and cursing people? What kind of humanity are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>What kind of person is Jia Jia Zhangshi?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Can she take this breath?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>She turned and sprayed Sun Zhang Dama: \"Hey, Chi Sunshi, why are you everywhere? I said two sentences about Cao Ping'an and you are anxious. Why? Your son is a dog for Cao Cao Weiguo, and you are also a dog? You are old and being called around by a junior, and you don't want any face.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sun Zhang Dama was angry and threw the green beans at Jia Jia Zhangshi: \"Old hag, what kind of dog fart are you releasing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Jia Jia Zhangshi: \"I just farted, I think you are an old shameless person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sun Zhang Dama: \"You wicked old hag, no wonder your grandson went to the juvenile detention center, it’s all because you taught him badly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Jia Jia Zhangshi rushed to Sun Zhang Dama: \"Stinky woman, I’ll tear your mouth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sun Zhang Dama: \"Am I afraid of you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>For a time, the two fought, pulling hair, scratching faces, and tearing clothes, making a mess. The grandpas and grandmas next to them stepped forward to pull the frame, and Yan Yan Fugui was afraid of being scratched, hiding on the side and patting his thighs and shouting: \"Don't fight, talk if you have something to say, why bother, why bother...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>On the other side, Cao Cao Weiguo didn't know that because of him, the Red Star Courtyard was in a mess. He returned to the room leisurely, ate a piece of mung bean cake, washed his hands, took out wood and tools from the warehouse, and started doing carpentry work in the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Little Ping'an, who was playing with fish, saw this and ran over, looking at his father working, feeling very interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Song Cousin Yujuan watched Cao Cao Weiguo concentrate on carpentry work, thinking that Cao Cao Weiguo not only knew how to be a leader, how to cook, but also how to do carpentry work, which was too excellent. She secretly envied her cousin for having good luck, marrying a capable and considerate good husband, unlike herself, who had a bitter life, marrying a dog thing who had no ability and often hit and scolded her.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Look at you sweating profusely, it’s hot, drink some water, rest for a while.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In a while, Cao Cao Weiguo’s feet were full of sawdust, and Song Song Yulan, who had a big belly, brought a glass of boiled water from the room and handed over a towel.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo took the towel to wipe his sweat, returned the towel to his wife, took the water glass and drank it in one gulp: \"Comfortable, doing some work on a hot day, sweating is quite good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Handing the water glass to his wife, Cao Cao Weiguo continued to work, exerting his increasingly skilled carpentry skills, and soon made a pile of parts, which were then assembled into an exquisite rocking wooden horse.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing the formed wooden horse, Little Ping'an ran over excitedly: \"Horse! Horse!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Song Cousin Yujuan looked at the rocking wooden horse and smiled: \"This wooden horse is really beautiful, brother-in-law, your hands are too skillful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo smiled: \"My clumsy hands, the things I make are barely usable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Song Cousin Yujuan: \"Don't be humble, I’m not asking you to make furniture.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo smiled honestly, rubbed the head of his son who went to touch the wooden horse: \"Wait a while, you can play after Dad polishes it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Little Ping'an nodded obediently, his eyes fixed on the wooden horse without blinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo seriously polished the wooden horse, checked it carefully several times, and confirmed that there were no burrs before turning to look at his son: \"Son, come and play.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Dad, you are so good!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Little Ping'an couldn't wait to rush to the wooden horse, sat on it with Cao Cao Weiguo’s assistance, rocking and rocking, happy and unable to close his mouth. Song Cousin Yujuan and Song Song Yulan played with him on the side.\u003C\u002Fp>",1829,"2026-06-16T08:10:17.216Z","2026-06-17T08:52:03.356Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","216f4e09d45cfb85ec7a31ba7bea38a1c714edb18cdc8bfb85fbf42bad910e9b","siheyuan-the-salted-fish-s-beautiful-life-chapter-807","siheyuan-the-salted-fish-s-beautiful-life-chapter-805",843,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsiheyuan-the-salted-fish-s-good-life-cover.jpg"]
