Two Red Envelopes, each containing a hundred dollars. With prices soaring and inflation rampant, even this Red Envelope has seen an increase!
Having received the Red Envelopes, I left with a flourish. Shi Ye was still in bed at this hour, so I headed to intercept Yi Laotou before he could escape!
After making my rounds, it was clear that Yi Laotou was generous! A Jin Can Can and a Little Carp—I could display them in my study, and they would surely boost my motivation to learn! I’ve always appreciated the simple gifts from Yi Laotou.
Once I finished collecting the Red Envelopes, I rushed to the store. After breakfast, I had to head to Beijing. How could I enter without bringing some gifts for the old man and the others? The design for the Customized Rod had been sent over days ago!
The plane landed, and before I even exited the airport, Air Force and Lu Ya were already waiting for me.
It was nice of them to come pick up Shi Tian and me; after such a long time apart, it felt like they were on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
“Ye Ge, you have no idea what we’ve been through these past few days! Italian, French, Japanese cuisine—none of the women here even eat normal food anymore, some are even eating Indian Cuisine!”
I needed to think of a way to rescue my brothers from this misery! As soon as he saw us, Air Force began complaining.
Things weren’t as exaggerated as they claimed, but having grown accustomed to freedom, being suddenly constrained made everything seem negative.
“Air Force One,” he grumbled. I glanced at Shi Tian. “See? This is your doing!”
At that look from Shi Ye, Shi Tian flinched slightly. What did that mean? He couldn’t betray his own Nephew! If those two found out he was the one who sold them out, they wouldn’t let him leave Beijing standing!
Seeing the gaze of Air Force and Lu Ya shift towards him, Shi Tian lightly touched his nose and patted his checked luggage.
“I’m here to rescue you! This is for the Three Old Men. They got a new Rod, so they need to find a place to bless it. This is your territory; can’t you handle this?”
As soon as those words left his mouth, Air Force and Lu Ya’s eyes lit up. “You should have sent it earlier!”
But wait! If he had sent it earlier, then there would have been no need for him to be involved at all; back home there were plenty of people to fish with them!
After giving Shi Tian a big hug, they immediately reached for the Rod.
Seeing them move, Shi Tian pressed down on the Rod.
They looked up in confusion as he spoke seriously: “Lu Ge, Jun Ge, new happiness!”
With that statement, he flipped his hands over and stared at them until they were somewhat dumbfounded.
“Can we scan it?” Looking at Shi Tian’s mischievous expression, they felt helpless.
After collecting two more Red Envelopes, they eagerly helped load their luggage into the car. Once inside, they turned on the heater to warm up.
Checking the time, today we had to pay respects to the Three Old Men. There was no way around it; we’d have to accompany them for fishing too. Time was tight—this season in Beijing wasn’t great for fishing; we could only indulge at those designated Fishing Spots!
The old man was new! He reached out with a big Red Envelope.
The three of them quickly learned from the old man: Old Kong stretched out his hand, staring intently at their hearts.
"Grandpa, Red Envelope!" Seeing that Old Kong had no intention of pulling out a Red Envelope, Kong Jun quickly reminded him.
"Xiao Tian brought something to pay respects; where are your gifts?" Old Kong slapped the Rod Case on the table, turning the tables on them!
Seeing the three of them dumbfounded, Old Kong pushed his phone onto the table, pulled up the QR Code, and lightly tapped the surface, eager to make up for his sincerity to the old man!
The three lined up and completed their transfers; this visit was quite costly!
Old Wen was no pushover either. This time, with the Air Force, the three of them had become well-behaved and didn’t join in on the teasing! They would bully Old Liu later!
One Red Envelope, several patent certificates, and a pile of documents—Old Wen's gifts were still substantial!
They managed to recover a bit from Old Liu. The seven of them headed to the Fishing Spot; this was Shi Tian's first time playing Heikeng.
"Old man, how do we play Heikeng? Are we really going to deal with Da Chu Yi?"
There were quite a few Heikeng spots in Beijing, each district had them, and during this season, ticket prices weren’t too high.
"What’s wrong with dealing with Da Chu Yi? We’ve been taken advantage of by him several times; now we’re here to find a venue! Da Chu Yi won’t let us fish; today we’ll steal a donkey. With three-meter rods, we won’t be allowed to bait; Carp, Carp, Lophius—we’ll go all out!"
Since returning from Sanya, the three old men hadn’t had a moment’s rest, constantly welcoming guests who came to pay their respects.
Thinking about all the grievances they had endured at these Fishing Spots, they had to get their revenge!
"Old man, I won’t hold back then; I’m going all out later!"
"What are you being polite for! We’re going all out later!" Old Liu rolled his eyes at Shi Tian and gritted his teeth. It was clear that this old man had been riled up by their dealings!
