rebirth from small pockets

Chapter 436 Chen Xue’s Resentment

Today’s breakfast is soup and rice with toasted buns!

In fact, for locals in Licheng, soup rice with grilled naan is the most authentic way to eat it.

However, Chen Li really liked eating baked buns, so his second mother, Tian Xiaoli, accommodated his taste.

Yes~ Chen Li has an inexplicable love for baked buns.

Especially the one selling baked buns near his second father’s house. The baked buns are so good!

Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside!

The outer crisp refers to the outer skin of the bun. Because it is baked, it is called crispy.

The tenderness, of course, refers to the mutton inside.

The simple combination of pepper and salt restores the tenderness of the mutton.

The reason why Chen Li likes to eat the baked buns at this store is because the business of this store is very good, so the mutton is also very fresh.

Hmm~ It seems that this sentence is contradictory, but in fact it is like this.

Stores with good business often use fresher ingredients, but stores that use fresher ingredients may not necessarily have good business.

After all, catering still has to test the skill of the cook.

A big bowl of soup and rice~ Chen Li ate another four whole baked buns. This amount of food was already quite large.

After breakfast, since there were no plans to go out for fun today, a bunch of housewives at home started playing mahjong again.

Liu Qingqing was serving tea and water beside her, and when she was done, she hugged her mother and future mother-in-law, watching the battle and giving instructions.

As for the younger generation Chen Xue, Wang Yan and Chen Tingting, they started their studies under the guidance of Teacher Wang.

Chen Li's cousin Zhou Ling has occupied the TV in the living room. The local TV station here is currently playing "Huan Zhu Ge Ge 1" repeatedly, eight episodes a day!

As for the men in the family, they had already gone out early in the morning while Chen Li was still sleeping.

They went fishing!

Originally Chen Li was supposed to go too, but these guys got up too early and Chen Li couldn't get up.

In addition, he had other ideas, so he decided to go alone.

After saying hello to the hostesses at home, Chen Li glanced at Liu Qingqing with a somewhat "hateful" look.

During this trip, Liu Qingqing actually rarely spent time with Chen Linu. She spent most of the time with Chen Li's mother.

Miss Liu stuck out her tongue at Chen Li and cast an "apologetic" look.

Okay~ Liu Qingqing wants to have a good relationship with her future mother-in-law, and Chen Li is naturally happy to see this.

After grabbing a handful of raisins and finding a pocket to put a lot of almonds in, Chen Li went out.

"Hey~ Xiao Chen is going fishing?"

As soon as I went out, I met Uncle Zhang across the street. He was a colleague of Chen Li's second father. During this period, Chen Li's second aunt and his family were staying at their house.

This kind of old neighbor for many years has a better relationship and relationship than some relatives who don't have much contact with each other.

"Hmm~eh? Uncle Zhang is back so early?"

The Uncle Zhang mentioned by Chen Li was carrying fishing gear in his hand. He also went fishing early in the morning with Chen Li's father, second father, second uncle, and others.

"Well~ I'm going to work soon."

This Uncle Zhang is considered an old fisherman. It was this Uncle Zhang who led Chen Li's father to the fishing place today.

It is already half past nine in the morning. The reason why Uncle Zhang has not gone to work at this time is mainly because there is almost two hours of time difference between Xijiang and Yanjing.

Even in government departments here, it is normal to go to work at 10 a.m.

Especially in winter, the sky may not get dark until 10 o'clock in the morning.

The weather here is very interesting. In the summer, it doesn’t get dark until 10:11 pm, but it gets light after 5:00 am, and the daylight hours are as long as 17 or 18 hours a day.

But in winter, it gets dark after six o'clock in the evening and only gets light after nine or ten in the morning.

This is actually a "challenge" for people who have been living in Sichuan Province.

When Chen Li first came to Xijiang in his previous life, he had to put a lot of effort into getting used to sleep.

"The weather is very good today, but your second dad's skills are too poor. When I left, only your dad caught one."

As Uncle Zhang spoke, he showed Chen Li his record.

The two carp are quite big, the smallest one is estimated to weigh two or three pounds.

There is the Li River in Licheng, which is one of the three major rivers in Western Xinjiang and is also quite rich in fish resources.

Fortunately, it is now 1999. When Chen Li came here in his previous life, the fish resources in Lihe River were greatly damaged due to overfishing.

At that time, Chen Li's father and second father were fishing, and occasionally even went to the fishing ground, because wild fishing was often done by the air force.

However, in 1999, this problem was not serious. Every time I went fishing, I would gain something.

Saying goodbye to Uncle Zhang, Chen Li took the fishing gear and rode on a motorcycle.

This is the car of Chen Li's second father. They went there by van when there were many people in the morning. Chen Li was alone, so he just rode a motorcycle.

"Brother~!"

Just as he was about to start the motorcycle, he heard his sister's voice coming from behind him.

"I am coming too!"

Chen Xue ran down from upstairs and climbed onto the motorcycle without saying a word.

"Aren't you studying?" Chen Li asked instead without starting.

"I'm reviewing ~ Teacher Wang is teaching Yanzi and Tingting their first year of high school classes right now!"

"I'll take a break first!"

Chen Xue's mouth started to pout when she talked about learning.

She never expected that she would avoid tutoring from the senior class of Erlong Middle School, only to end up falling behind her brother's ability.

Is private tutoring something that ordinary people can afford?

Well~ Unlike Chen Guofu's generation, Chen Xue actually doesn't feel much about the fact that her brother has become rich.

In Chen Xue's opinion, her brother has indeed become rich, and the money given to her during the Chinese New Year is not taken back for recycling.

Normally, Chen Xue would buy some reference books or something, but Chen Li directly bought her a complete set of them available on the market.

God knows how desperate Chen Xue felt when she saw the large box of reference books that her elder brother asked Li Yuan to bring back.

However, Chen Xue really didn’t know much about her elder brother’s financial resources.

After all, she is still a high school student, and she lives in Erlong Town, so Chen wants to make a fortune. This concept is not really exaggerated in Chen Xue's mind.

However, this trip to Western Xinjiang gave Chen Xue a different understanding of her brother.

First up is flying!

It is no exaggeration to say that there should not be many people in Erlong Town who have flown by plane so far.

There must be some, after all, there are also people in Erlong Town who have made a fortune doing business outside, and there are quite a few of them.

It's just that most of these people still choose to take trains as a way of traveling. At most, buying a sleeper ticket is a sign of wealth.

Only a very few people would choose to fly.

However, this does not mean that there are not many people in Erlong Town who are good at flying. It is just that when people choose to take transportation these days, flying is definitely not the first choice.

Although flying is convenient and fast, its high price is destined to make most people choose trains and cars as their first means of transportation when traveling.

There's no way around it. For a plane ticket, after deducting the cost of train tickets and bus tickets, the extra money may be one or two months' salary of an ordinary person.

This time, Chen Li bought plane tickets for everyone, which gave Chen Xue a new understanding of his brother's financial resources.

Except for Chen Li, all of the people traveling this time were flying for the first time.

Even before setting off, Chen Xue couldn't wait to show off to her friends.

Well, it’s a plane after all!

Then~ after arriving in Urumqi, Chen Li once again felt how wealthy his brother was.

Because Chen Li and Chen Xue had different departure times, and before Chen Li arrived in Urumqi, when Chen Guoqiang made arrangements, the hotel room was relatively tight.

But when we go out, in fact, no one really cares about this.

Including Chen Xue, well~ actually she doesn't understand this at all.

Although she had to share a bed with several people, as a child, what right did she have to say?

But after Chen Li appeared, this situation changed instantly.

Several more hotel rooms were booked, and Chen Li even had a single room to himself.

Although Chen Xue occasionally heard her cousin muttering about her elder brother as a "slut" in private, in Chen Xue's opinion, this was called "dominance".

The reason is very simple ~ because after Chen Li put forward his opinion, neither his old man, his second father, nor even all the elders objected.

Even my mother, who usually resists spending money, agreed to Chen Li's seemingly extravagant and wasteful proposal this time.

Although Chen Xue is still underage, it does not mean that she is stupid. She knows very well that this is because of her brother's ability.

If it were someone else, whether it was Zhou Ling or Chen Xue, or even if it was my own old man who raised this opinion, my second father would probably have some objections.

Only Chen Liti and Chen Guoqiang really had nothing to say.

Especially the moment later when her brother divided the shares among everyone. Although Chen Xue was not very clear about what kind of company her brother was running, she had a deep understanding that the atmosphere at that time was quite strange.

Chen Li was obviously a junior, but all the adults at that time seemed to "respect" their elder brother very much.

This kind of "respect", which is obviously different from the traditional concept, shocked Chen Xue very much.

So during this trip to Western Xinjiang, Chen Xue, the younger sister, actually suddenly developed some distance from her elder brother.

This "distance" does not mean that there is a rift in the relationship between the two brothers Chen Li and Chen Xue.

But when Chen Xue discovered that her elder brother suddenly became different from the elder brother she knew, she suddenly felt a little strange.

The most direct manifestation of this is that every time he eats, Chen Li always sits at the main table, which is the table for adults.

In the past, although Chen Li would occasionally sit at the main table, more often than not, he would sit at the same table as his peers.

Because the adults' table drinks and drinks for an hour or two at a time, unlike the children's table where they just eat.

Moreover, when eating, Chen Li was not always asked about his academic performance by relatives like before.

Instead, they talked about national affairs, business affairs, etc.!

Obviously we are not of the same generation, but when we chat, we often even give priority to Chen Li's opinions.

This is so magical~so magical that Chen Xue suddenly started to admire her brother.

However, this admiration did not last long before Chen Li activated his money ability again.

Then Chen Xue felt that she didn't seem to like her brother that much.

Because she has a private tutor!

This kind of thing, which is rarely mentioned in TV dramas these days, just appeared in front of Chen Xue.

Okay~ Actually, Chen Xue really doesn’t know how good a private tutor is.

She was simply very dissatisfied with her brother for betraying the "revolutionary ranks".

Obviously, he was a child who didn't like tutoring in the past, so why did Chen Li suddenly change his mind and stand directly on the side of his parents?

This made Chen Xue very desperate, so desperate that the little admiration she had for her brother dissipated directly in the beautiful mountains and rivers of Licheng.

Recently, Chen Xue is not even willing to talk to her elder brother.

But the little girl's emotions are like this, they come and go as quickly as they come.

In addition, this new private tutor seems to be really good at education.

Unlike most of the more serious teachers these days, this teacher Wang is of the amiable type.

And this kind of teacher is exactly the type that students like most.

So after accepting Teacher Wang, Chen Xue's resentment towards her brother was no longer so heavy.

"That's alright~ Sit tight!"

Chen Li nodded. Although Chen Xue was not in her third year of high school yet, she had actually completed the entire high school course.

Her current main task is to review, and review focuses more on efficiency rather than studying hard.

In fact, Chen Li's knowledge-based androids are mainly for the two high school freshmen Wang Yan and Chen Tingting in terms of time arrangements for the three students.

After all, Chen Xue's grades were not bad originally, so she had relatively more free time.

Chen Li started his motorcycle and headed towards the Li River, which he had already visited once.

The Lihe River is an inland river and an international river spanning China and Kazakhstan.

It is said that there were not many species of wild fish in the Lihe River originally, but the number was particularly large.

Common ones include green yellow croaker, yellow croaker, green head, wild carp, etc.!

Well, it is a "big river" after all. Even if it is not much, it is still quite a lot if you really want to talk about it.

Among them, the most noteworthy one is the green yellowtail fish, which is actually the naked sturgeon.

This thing will be regarded as a nationally protected animal twenty years later.

However, in 1999, it could only be regarded as a valuable economic fish.

But in fact, in 1999, it was difficult for anyone to catch naked sturgeon, and the market price had risen to more than 200 yuan per pound.

Two hundred pounds per pound in 1999. What is this concept?

You must know that this naked sturgeon can grow to more than 2 meters, and an adult naked sturgeon can easily weigh several dozen pounds.

Today, Chen Li’s target is this naked sturgeon!
