I am many years in the courtyard

Chapter 5, The Bus and the Conductor
After breakfast, without Zhou Hongmei saying anything, Qin Huairu took the initiative to clean up the table.

The quickness of doing housework has left the elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law dumbfounded for many years.

Not to mention the lazy elder sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law is still very neat and tidy in her work.

But, without comparison, there is no harm.

Qin Huairu, who came from the countryside, has been doing housework since she was a child, and she really wants to please the Xu family, so can she not work hard?

Zhou Hongmei dragged Niannian to the side, exhorting:
"You can't marry her in the future, or I won't follow her!"

"Okay, I'll listen to your mother."

Many years smiled and said in agreement.

In fact, he is quite satisfied with Qin Huairu, at least she is not as aggressive as Liu Wanqiu.

Apart from being born in the countryside, Qin Huairu is already perfect in other aspects of marrying a wife and a virtuous person.

It's just that Zhou Hongmei and the others don't know about it.

Humans are all animals that seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and they can only focus on the short-term, not the long-term.

Of course, satisfaction is satisfaction, and Qin Huairu is not indispensable for many years.

Besides, he is still so young, and there are many possibilities in the future, why did he bury himself in the grave of marriage so early?

"Qin Huairu, let me see you off later."

Qin Huairu, who was washing pots and pans, was shocked when he heard this, his eyes dimmed.

But he was silent and didn't answer.

On the contrary, Zhou Hongmei directly said loudly, which aroused everyone's surprise.

"Duo Duo, go to work first if you have something to do, and I'll take her back later."

There is no doubt that his old mother is planning to reduce his contact with Qin Huairu.

That's fine, I've had a good time at leisure for many years.

Strolling around outside the house, watching his nephews and nieces playing, he immediately missed electronic products such as mobile phones and computers.

Coincidentally at this time, Yan Bugui, who was at the opposite door, went out with a fishing rod and a fishing rod.

Seeing this scene, he suddenly knew how to spend his free time.

So, he also looked for a fishing rod at home, but in the end, there was no such thing at home.

"What are you looking for?"

"Mom, do you have a fishing rod at home? I want to go fishing."

When he said this, Xu Xiaoqian and the other three children raised their heads in exclamation:

"Third uncle, I also want to go fishing."

The elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law quickly scolded the children, while Zhou Hongmei said that there is no fishing rod at home. If you want to fish, you can just make one yourself.

Hearing this for many years, he patted himself on the forehead in annoyance.

Yes, there is no fishing rod, so you can do it yourself.

Next, he rummaged through boxes and cabinets, found tools from home, and started making.

The fishhook is a slender iron nail, and Lao Xu is a fitter. There is no shortage of these things at home.

The three children squatted aside, watching him busy with interest.

After a while, he made the fishing hook, and the fishing line could only be bought at the department store.

For fishing rods, just make a thin piece of wood.

By the way, it is better to wear gloves, so as not to hurt your hands when the fishing line is harvested.

After he was ready, he was ready to go, and Xu Xiaoqian and the three of them followed.

Although their mother disagreed, it was useless, their grandma agreed.

Nine-year-old Xu Xiaoqian carried a wooden barrel and followed, while five-year-old Xu Xiaoman led three-and-a-half-year-old Xu Weidong to follow.

In the 50s, the only way to go out was by the No. [-] bus, and there was no wicked map for navigation, so we could only rely on asking for directions.

Fortunately, Nanluoguxiang is not very far from the department store, and it takes more than 20 minutes to walk there.

It is summer now, and there are a lot of children coming to the mall.

As soon as they entered the mall, Xu Xiaoqian and the three of them stared straight at the big white rabbit toffee on the shelf.

He hasn't bought them for many years. One is that he didn't bring much money when he went out today, and the other is that the family has already spoiled them enough. It's because of eating too much sweets that Xu Xiaoqian's teeth are still ugly.

Buying fishing line is very simple, just pay for it.

Except for the general attitude of the salesperson, there was no request for a ticket.

These days, apart from money, tickets are needed to buy things.

But not all items require tickets.

For many years with a strong purpose, after buying the fishing line, he left the department store with the three little ones, then got on the bus and went straight out of the city.

The water system outside the capital is well developed, with Yongding River, Chaobai River, Beiyun River, Juma River and many other rivers.

Therefore, there is no place to worry about fishing.

The bus is very simple. After getting on the bus, the conductor stops me to buy a ticket instead of directly inserting coins or swiping the card. It is always troublesome.

"Which stop?"

As if someone owed her a million and 80, the conductor looked arrogant and his tone was very lazy.

"Guangning, how much is it?"

Now it is the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and all public buses across the country sell tickets manually.

The fare is calculated in sections according to the distance of the distance, and there are fares of 1 cent, 2 cents and 5 cents.

Before the bus departs, the conductor must first go to the ticket office with a small bag on his back to collect the ticket.

The conductor in front of him quickly took out a stack of bills from his pouch. There were four kinds of bills: five cents, one dimes, one cent five cents, and two dimes.

Seeing that the other party was proficient in privately issuing two bills of ten and a half cents, he stared at him and said indifferently:
"Triangle money, go to the back and find a seat."

"Does the child have to pay too?"

I stared at him for many years, but the conductor didn't explain at all, and only said one sentence in disgust: I like to sit or not, and if I don't sit, get off quickly, don't block the people behind.

Weed!

The level of service in this era is amazing, absolutely amazing!
After being disgusted for many years, I thought I should stop taking the bus in the future.

It's simply disgusting to pay for it.

He took out thirty cents from his trouser pocket, took the bill for many years, and went to the back with his nephew and niece.

In this day and age, very few people take the bus.

Everyone basically relies on walking to go out, and being able to take a bus is considered a luxury.

The three children were so excited because they were riding in the car, they kept chattering.

Half an hour later, the slow bus finally arrived at Guangning.

After getting off the bus, I took my three children straight to the nearby river for many years.

"You all pay attention, the river is very deep, don't fall into it."

When we get here, we need to be warned.

Fortunately, the children were very obedient and did not make trouble.

"Third Uncle, shall we dig earthworms?"

Xu Xiaoqian and the others knew about fishing, after all, the third master on the opposite side showed off a lot.

After thinking about it for many years, he shook his head and said:

"No, you guys watch from the shore, I'll get some bait."

He brought a bamboo dustpan commonly used in the countryside, which is a tool commonly used at home to empty the kitchen ashes.

This thing is more widely used in rural areas, and it can be said that it is a must-have for every family.

Holding the dustpan, I started hugging the fish on the aquatic plants by the river.

In a short while, he got several fish smaller than a little finger.

Even so, Xu Xiaoqian and the others were still very curious, what was the third uncle doing?

The next moment, two loaches appeared in the dustpan.

So, many years suddenly showed a happy smile.
