Courtyard Houses: Starting as a Purchasing Agent

Page 83

"Oh..." As soon as she saw Liu Aiguo, she started to mock him: "Brother-in-law... you still have the mood to go out and fish!"

Liu Aiguo said, "What's wrong? Does a pufferfish need to be in a mood?"

Yu Haitang had a mocking smile on her lips: "No... Brother-in-law, don't you have any self-awareness? The leaders have decided to put you purchasing staff on standby. Do you even know why?"

Liu Aiguo understood.

He gave a cold laugh, but still cooperated with Yu Haitang, saying, "What's the reason? I heard it's because some purchasing agents didn't follow the rules, embezzling public funds and misappropriating them..."

"You know it too!"

Yu Haitang said, "As far as I know, none of you purchasing agents are clean... You can't withstand an investigation... I heard they'll investigate you later..."

"I'm afraid this temporary layoff might become a permanent one. Once you're laid off, will you still be in the mood to fish?"

From childhood to adulthood, Yu Haitang has never lost to Yu Li in anything.

This time, I lost completely when it came to finding a man.

But this time, she stood on high ground and watched the spectacle unfold.

Hehe... I, Yu Haitang... am invincible.

Sister... just wait and see if you can admit defeat.

"Let's go!" Yu Li was clearly in a bad mood, and she pulled Liu Aiguo out the door.

.. ........ ...

After the two left the compound, Yu Li still kept her head down.

"Don't be afraid!" Liu Aiguo lowered his head, put his mouth close to Yu Li's ear, and said, "I'll be fine, I can definitely support you!"

"Mmm..." Yu Li nodded, then said, "Don't take what Haitang said just now seriously. That's just how she is. Don't be angry!"

"I'm not angry!" Liu Aiguo said with a smile. "In this world, the only person I care about is my wife. No one can make me angry except you!"

"biu..."

Yu Li quickly poked Liu Aiguo in the face.

Liu Aiguo felt a surge of heat throughout his body.

"Let's go!"

He rode his bicycle with Yu Li on the back, heading west towards the Yongding River.

It's quite far from the Yongding River; it takes more than half an hour to cycle there.

By the time Liu Aiguo arrived at the banks of the Yongding River, it was already around ten o'clock.

But it doesn't matter.

Liu Aiguo's bicycle was packed with many things, including fishing gear and food...

There is also a huge tank for holding the fish.

I don't plan to go back at noon.

When Liu Aiguo arrived at the riverbank, he took a look but didn't see any jeeps, which meant that the big leader hadn't come.

On the first day of the National Day holiday, the leaders were all very busy.

It's normal if they don't come.

At this moment, many people are already fishing for fish on both sides of the Yongding River.

In those days, catching mandarin fish was not illegal and was the only way to get meat for free, so many ordinary people, especially those who had nothing to do, came here to freeload.

If it's a bargain given by God, why not take advantage of it?

Liu Aiguo came to the riverbank and unloaded the items one by one.

I was looking for a good spot, but it turns out that most of the good spots are already taken.

He didn't care and just casually found a spot by the river.

It's the same anyway.

Lao Tzu, the fish, doesn't care about his position.

Being discreet would allow him to whisper secrets with Yu Li and take advantage of her.

"This is it!"

First, tie two small stools together, then take the fishing gear down.

Yu Li was in charge of organizing things, but Liu Aiguo took a military shovel and started digging a hole next to her.

If we catch a big fish later, we have to put it in the pit first.

There probably won't be enough room for the fish in the bucket.

Just as Liu Aiguo was digging the pit, a familiar figure appeared.

Thin and rather tall!

He was wearing thick glasses.

Uncle Yan Bugui approached Liu Aiguo with a smile.

"Third Uncle..." Liu Aiguo asked curiously, "What brings you here?"

"Hey..." Uncle San said, "I've finally caught you! You've been fishing for big fish every day, haven't you? You've been fishing for them right here, haven't you?"

"Yes!"

Liu Aiguo asked, "Third Uncle, how did you manage to come all this way?"

The closest section of the Yongding River is seven or eight kilometers away from the courtyard house.

It takes Liu Aiguo half an hour to ride a bicycle.

How did Third Uncle come to be here?

The third uncle replied, "I walked here!"

"Awesome!" Liu Aiguo gave a thumbs up: "You even managed to get here this early, even if you walked!"

Third Uncle said, "What do you mean 'early'? If I hadn't gotten lost, I would have been here long ago!"

"You wouldn't believe it, I got up at four in the morning and pulled a flatbed cart here... I kept going west, past Heji, and smoked a cigarette on a big stone roller at the west end of Heji. But the fog was too thick, and after I finished smoking, I went the wrong way and ended up back at the courtyard house... After all that trouble, I had to come all the way back!"

puff……

Yu Li next to her was laughing so hard she couldn't stand up straight!

Chapter 065: He tricked Third Uncle into jumping into the river!

"Laugh, laugh, laugh..." Uncle San looked at Yu Li with a displeased expression and said, "What's so funny... It's just taking the wrong turn... Who hasn't taken the wrong turn before!"

Yu Li held it in.

But after two seconds, she couldn't hold back any longer: "Hehehehehe... Third Uncle...hehehehe6"

"Please forgive me...hehehehe...I just couldn't hold it in..."

Third Uncle: "..."

Go ahead and laugh!

After a while, Yu Li finally stopped laughing.

Liu Aiguo asked, "Third Uncle, I understand you've come all this way to catch fish, but why did you bring a cart?"

A handcart, also called a frame cart.

Liu Aiguo usually used it to sludge.

Back when Wang Zhongchen delivered watermelons to the state guesthouse, he used a handcart.

This thing is used to transport heavy objects.

But it's heavy itself.
