I am a cripple in the Siheyuan. Who am I afraid of?

Chapter 39
She said to Qin Huairu: "Sister Qin, look at me, I can almost ride now."

Qin Huairu stopped and watched with a smile as He Yuyu asked Silly Zhu to hold the back seat and learn to ride a bicycle.

She really envied this girl.

Not only because she already has her own bicycle at such a young age.

And because she was born in BJ City and went to high school, she can be so carefree and happy.

But what about her, Qin Huairu?It turns out that she thought she was lucky enough and happy enough.

She could find a man from the city to marry and live in the BJ city she had always longed for every day, becoming a city person.The husband has a good job and is good-looking. They also have a son and a daughter.

What else could she be dissatisfied with?

However, recently everything seems to be slowly changing.

……

The middle courtyard is quite lively, but the atmosphere in the front courtyard of the third uncle Yan Bugui's house is not so good.

Originally, in order to welcome the arrival of May Day, his family had a special feast today.

Not only did they fry vegetables with oily residue, but they also fried a small plate for the first time and hid peanuts for who knows how long.

The four Yan brothers and sisters were sitting eagerly at the table, waiting for Yan Bugui to distribute peanuts to them.However, the first and second waiters saw Yan Bugui with a gloomy face and no movement.

The third aunt couldn't help but wink at Yan Bugui, but she didn't get any response.

"What happened to the head of the house today? He has been full of worries since he came home." She muttered in her heart.

In fact, Yan Bugui has been thinking in his heart, how did Song Wu have such a good relationship with Du Yuhui and Ran Qiuye.He even specially prepared it and invited him to have dinner with him at his residence tomorrow.

He couldn't understand why two young and beautiful female teachers, complete intellectuals, would get involved with a cripple who repaired cars.

Originally, this matter didn't bother him, but for some reason, he just felt uncomfortable.

Silly Zhu wanted him to introduce a female teacher as a target in school, but he was very reluctant.He thought he was simply a toad wanting to eat swan flesh.

I was drinking with Xu Damao two days ago, and I heard Xu Damao say whether Song Wu also fell in love with Teacher Ran.

At that time, he swore that it was impossible. He thought that the teachers in their school would not like a cripple who repaired cars anyway, but he did not expect to be slapped in the face so quickly.

You can't really be attracted to her, otherwise why would you invite a man to your house for dinner?
Unusual, very unusual.

He decided to wait until he returned to school after May Day and asked Teacher Ran and Teacher Du in person.

He was still unwilling to get Song Wu together with the teachers at their school.He believed that there must be some special reason or misunderstanding.

Yan Bugui reached out to pick up the wine and took a sip. When he picked up the peanuts with chopsticks, he noticed a circle of eyes looking at him eagerly.

"Come on, let's share the peanuts, five to each person. Tomorrow is Labor Day, so each person will share five peanuts. Isn't this the May Day holiday?"

On Labor Day, Song Wu woke up at around 3 o'clock, prepared himself, and came out of the courtyard.I deliberately changed my clothes, put on a forward hat, and first loaded my hand-cranked wheelchair into the space.

Then, he went to the small courtyard of the car repair shop and put the old bicycle into the space, and then left the courtyard from the shop.

He walked some distance away, turned into a remote alley, took out his old bicycle, and rode all the way to the river outside Dongzhimen.

Today his brain is exceptionally clear and his perception is more active.I found a suitable place to put the bicycle away and stretched my head to look into the river.

This small river ditch looks inconspicuous, the water is quite deep, and there are many fish in it.He looked around for a while and found that the river bank here was indeed quite steep. It was really difficult to get started if he wanted to fish.He has the ability to sense and can find that there are no flat areas on both sides of the embankment. The water is almost two meters deep. It is estimated that this is a river channel that has just been dug not long ago.

Song Wu ran back and forth on the river bank twice, and finally found a more suitable place. For the sake of safety, he specially sensed the surroundings and made sure that no one was around before taking out the crossbow.

He hung the thin rope attached to the tail of the crossbow on his wrist, and first aimed at the place where he sensed the most fish, aiming at the largest silver carp.

Gently pull the trigger, "whoosh", the crossbow arrow shoots out, the sound of rising into the water is very small, and it hits the target with one blow.

Very crisp.

Song Wu was very happy and pulled out the crossbow arrow and the fish together.

He looked at the big silver carp, which weighed about five or six kilograms and was still shaking, and was very happy.Now I finally have a feasible way to catch fish, which is much more efficient than fishing.

Keep up the good work, Song Wu kept firing again and again, changing places from time to time.

I am becoming more and more proficient in shooting and my accuracy is getting better and better.

Soon, he shot a total of fifteen or six, mostly silver carp, grass carp, crucian carp, and two or three carp.The most surprising thing was that I also caught a fat-headed fish weighing seven or eight pounds.Except for crucian carp, all the other fish were picked up and shot, which was estimated to be about eighty or ninety pounds.

In fact, in this era, BJ people don’t like to eat river fish very much. It’s easier for them to eat sea fish.

The more common and popular ones are hairtail, yellow croaker and braised fish.

These fish are basically eaten in braised sauce.The price of hairtail is only 2 cents per pound.The wide ones can be sold for 5 cents, which is not easy to buy.

The supply is tight these days, and there are long queues everywhere. It is not easy to buy hairtail for 3 cents per pound.

Yellow croaker mainly comes from the Yellow Sea, but now the supply is getting less and less, replaced by yellow croaker from the South China Sea.

Rich people do not eat yellow croaker in old age, so they call it "worm bun", which means that this fish has more parasites.

However, people today still like this dish, especially its garlic clove meat, which is very distinctive.

As for the braised fish, it’s delicious, but it has a lot of spines, so it’s usually braised in brown sauce.

Among the river fish in BJ, silver carp is the most common, while grass carp, carp, and fathead fish are relatively rare. Wild crucian carp is basically small, and is nicknamed crucian carp seeds.

Song Wu saw that the sky was getting brighter and it was already past 5 o'clock, so he stopped.

It's almost time to go back.

Although the fish caught are all dead, there is no problem in keeping them fresh if they are placed in the space.

Song Wu could be said to have returned with a full load this time. Looking at the big fish in the space, they were all meat, and he finally felt confident.

Song Wu was pushing his bicycle and just turned from the river bank to the road when he saw an old man doing morning exercises walking over.

The old man looked at Song Wu curiously, his eyes full of doubts.He said: "You have to be careful if you run to this side of the river so early."

Song Wu smiled and said, "Good morning, uncle. I just think the scenery here is pretty good, and I wanted to come over and wonder if I can run here in the morning to exercise in the future."

The uncle asked: "You don't live near here, do you?"

Song Wu nodded, "I live in the DC area."

"Let me tell you, who in this area doesn't know the evil nature of this small river. It often drowns people, and even the fishermen don't come here anyway. Alas, I don't even know if there are any fish here. It's too shameful to risk your life. It’s worth it.” The uncle spoke in a very sad tone.

Song Wu looked at the old man's leaving figure and felt very strange in his heart, "How could he not know whether there are fish or not? There are obviously a lot of fish in the river."

He went closer to the river and took a look. It was clear that many fish were swimming under the water.

Song Wu couldn't help but be a little confused, but an idea quickly came to his mind, "Yes, I can see this fish, but others may not be able to see it, because it is all under the water. The river is very deep, so it is impossible to catch it. Who knows how many fish there are and how little fish there is.”

This discovery made Song Wu very happy. At least in the recent period, depending on the situation, this place can be regarded as a relatively stable source of fish and meat.

Song Wu walked all the way into Dongzhimen, walked for a while and turned into Jiaodaokou Hutong, took out his hand wheelchair in a deserted area, and then headed west, arriving at Gulou East Street in six or seven minutes.

In May, although the weather is getting warmer, it is still a bit chilly, and early risers on the street are still wearing jackets.

Song Wu was in a good mood today and had breakfast at a breakfast shop outside.The fried buns at this shop are particularly delicious. They are soft whether hot or cold, and the more you chew, the stronger they become.He didn't return to the courtyard satisfied until his stomach was full.

He had to have a full breakfast today. If he couldn't stand the food cooked by the two female teachers in the morning, he could also have something to cushion him.

On May Day today, Song Wu decided to close the car repair shop.

There are also people who want to participate in the parade on the streets here. Young students are all wearing white shirts and dark trousers. People from factories and work units are also wearing neat gray and blue clothes. They are all neatly dressed and full of energy.People were talking and laughing, and they had already begun to gather in the direction of Tiananmen so early.

Song Wu was also inexplicably affected by this festive atmosphere while walking on the road. Although they lacked material in this era, the spiritual bonus was indeed not small. Their high-spirited spirit made Song Wu appreciate the unique vitality of this era. .

Just now, He Yuyu came to see him again to watch the May Day parade. Song Wu's refusal made the little girl very unhappy. "My brother is too lazy to sleep now, and he won't go even if I ask him to go. Where are you? You said you have an appointment with someone else, huh, you just don't want to go with me."

He Yuyu pouted and left a little unhappy, and went to find her classmates.

Song Wu came to Du Yuhui's bungalow courtyard at around ten o'clock in the morning. After knocking on the door, he took out a hot roast duck from the space.

This roast duck is also his source of confidence, so he won't run out of food later.

There was still fish in his space, but he didn't take it out this time. He was afraid that the two female teachers would ruin the fish.

The two female teachers were obviously busy. Song Wu wanted to have a look in the kitchen, but was kicked out by Du Yuhui. "You just wait to eat today. I promised you a meal, but I can't let you do it."
