I'm back in 1990

Chapter 732: This fish is too expensive, I can't eat it.

Just like when he arrived, Huang Xiaochuan didn't take a car. Instead, he walked eastward along Fuxing West Road at a leisurely pace.

As the Spring Festival approaches, the streets are bustling with activity, and almost every pedestrian and cyclist is carrying several items, with New Year's goods hanging from the handlebars of their bicycles.

This scene had a very down-to-earth feel to it, which Huang Xiaochuan really liked, and it was the main reason why he didn't want to take a car.

However, the weather was cold. Wearing a cashmere coat and a pair of lambskin gloves, Huang Xiaochuan would occasionally cover his ears with his hands. It wasn't cold anywhere else, but his ears were the only ones exposed and were freezing. Huang Xiaochuan couldn't help but regret not wearing a scarf when he went out.

At this moment, Li Huan stepped forward and handed a woolen hat to Huang Xiaochuan. Huang Xiaochuan took it and glanced at it. It was new and looked like it had just been bought from a roadside stall. He couldn't help but laugh. He hadn't worn this kind of hat for many years. He remembered wearing it when he was in elementary or middle school.

Huang Xiaochuan thanked Li Huan and put the hat on his head without hesitation. He even pulled the brim down to cover his ears, making him much warmer. However, he looked a bit comical. When he passed a shop, Huang Xiaochuan stopped and looked at the shop window. He almost burst out laughing.

The group continued walking east along Fuxing Road, and Huang Xiaochuan called Li Huan to his side.

Huang Xiaochuan asked Li Huan, "You've been following me for quite a few years, haven't you?"

Li Huan was usually a man of few words, but when Huang Xiaochuan asked him, he replied succinctly, "Twelve years!"

Huang Xiaochuan exclaimed with emotion, "Twelve years already? A full decade has passed!"

Huang Xiaochuan then asked, "Is everyone at home well?"

Li Huan nodded: "That's good!"

Li Huan's family was brought to Shanghai to settle down a long time ago. Their housing and household registration were all taken care of. His wife's job was also arranged perfectly. The job was easy and the salary was high, so she would have time to take care of the family. After all, Li Huan was with Huang Xiaochuan all day long and rarely spent time at home.

Huang Xiaochuan glanced at Li Huan and asked, "What are your plans for the future?"

Li Huan naturally understood what Huang Xiaochuan meant by those words. Back when the five of them came to Huang Xiaochuan's side as bodyguards, only he remained by Huang Xiaochuan's side; the other four had been assigned to other positions.

Zhou Wei is now the CEO of Shidai Logistics Group, Yang Junmin is now the security director of Shidai Commerce Group, He Guang went to Guangda Real Estate as the deputy general manager of a department, and He Wenfeng went to the United States a few years ago, set up a security company and became its CEO. It is said that he bought a large piece of land in Arizona and can legally own guns. Zhou Wei and the others have all been there and had their fill of guns. If Li Huan hadn't been tied up, he would have gone long ago. After leaving the army for so many years, he dreams of touching a gun again every day.

Li Huan frankly said, "I have no other thoughts, things are fine as they are now."

Li Huan was speaking from the heart. Huang Xiaochuan had treated him very well, arranging everything for him, including money, housing, jobs for his family, and schooling for his children. He didn't have to worry about anything. Moreover, when his family encountered difficulties, it was the Huang brothers who helped him solve them. He would never forget this kindness.

Hearing Li Huan say this, Huang Xiaochuan didn't press him. After all, he couldn't do without Li Huan for the time being, as Li Huan was the person he trusted most. So he nodded and said, "Then I'll ask you to work hard for a few more years. But you should also keep an eye on things and train a successor."

Li Huan chuckled sheepishly and said, "What's the trouble! I've got your advice in mind."

The distance from Wukang Store to home is about three kilometers. Huang Xiaochuan walked along the way, looking around as he went, and didn't feel tired at all.

When they got home, Yu Xiang was scolding the little girl. Although the little girl had her head down, Huang Xiaochuan could still see that the corners of her mouth were curved, and he couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.

When the ugly dog ​​in the house saw Huang Xiaochuan, it immediately ran over and circled around his feet, wagging its little tail happily. Unfortunately, Huang Xiaochuan ignored it completely. In Huang Xiaochuan's mind, a dog that can't guard the house isn't a dog.

Unfortunately, both the big stick and the small stick are gone. That's why Huang Xiaochuan doesn't want to keep a dog anymore; he doesn't want to be heartbroken again.

Huang Xiaochuan listened to the whole thing while sitting on the sofa. When he found out why the little girl was being scolded, he jumped up from the sofa as if he had been electrocuted and ran towards the koi pond in the yard. Good heavens, seven or eight big koi were already belly up.

Huang Xiaochuan was on the verge of tears. This little girl had just cost him nearly two million! All the koi he kept, including those in Huyin Garden, were top-quality koi, each one worth a fortune.

This was all because the little girl was playing with firecrackers at home and threw several large firecrackers into the koi pond. It's like using a depth charge to blow up a submarine. The difference is that the submarine will dodge, but the koi thought someone was coming to feed them and went up to it. They were all blown up and turned belly up!

This is truly a case of shooting oneself in the foot. Those large firecrackers were bought by him and his son Huang Zeji. Although Huang Zeji is a boy and not very interested in setting off firecrackers, his little girl Huang Ruiying had a great time playing with them.

When Huang Xiaochuan returned to the house, the little girl had already been punished by Yu Xiang and sent to her study to face the wall and reflect on her mistakes. Yu Xiang looked at the man with a mocking expression.

"So? Are you going to buy fireworks for your daughter next time?"

Although Huang Xiaochuan was heartbroken, he pretended to be nonchalant: "Oh! It's just a few fish! I'll have someone buy a few more when it gets warmer."

Yu Xiang looked utterly helpless: "You! You're all talk and no action, even though you've already got what you wanted. Don't you care how fast you ran off like a rabbit just now?"

"Look at you, you really don't know how to talk. I forgot to bring something in when I came back. I went out to get it." Huang Xiaochuan still stubbornly refused to admit it.

Yu Xiang knew his temperament and didn't intend to argue with him about the matter further. Instead, she asked, "What should we do with those fish? How about we catch them and have them cleaned and prepared, and you can make us some braised fish?"

"Uh!" Huang Xiaochuan patted his chest and after a while, he said, "That fish has a lot of bones and a muddy taste. What's so good about it? I'll dig a hole and bury it later. At least it'll be some winter fertilizer for the flowers and plants."

He couldn't possibly eat such an expensive fish; it would be better to bury it to avoid feeling the pinch while eating it.

Yu Xiang was amused by the man's antics, pointed at him, and said helplessly, "You!"

Huang Xiaochuan then called to his son, "Xiaodong, come with me to catch fish!"

"Okay!" Huang Zeji readily agreed, put on his coat, and accompanied his father to the yard to catch fish.

About a meter away from an old pomegranate tree in the yard, Huang Xiaochuan personally dug a hole and buried these expensive koi. It's certain that next year the pomegranates will grow big and sweet. Just kidding, that's almost two million yuan worth of fertilizer!
