"Brother Hao, come, sit, just sit on the bed. Let's talk slowly once we're seated." Saying that, Sun Chaoshu pulled Ye Hao to sit on his bed.
Ye Hao didn't decline and sat down on Sun Chaoshu's bed.
"Brother Hao, tell me, how did you catch such a big fish in the Hucheng River? Do you have any tricks? Teach me, your little brother, you're too amazing." As soon as he sat down, Sun Chaoshu eagerly asked.
Ye Hao had no special tricks; everything was taken from his space.
Seeing Sun Chaoshu so excited, Ye Hao couldn't say anything else and just started spouting nonsense.
"When I was begging, I learned a trick from an old man called 'stick fishing.' It's all about your eyes, hands, and stick being in sync. The Hucheng River is shallow now, right? You hold a wooden stick, stand in the water, raise the stick, keep your eyes on the water surface, and as soon as a fish swims by, you smash down hard. You have to be fast, ruthless, and accurate. Even if you don't hit the fish with one blow, it'll be stunned, and then you just grab it directly."
Ye Hao's serious nonsense actually managed to fool Sun Chaoshu.
"Brother Hao, is it really that easy to catch?" Sun Chaoshu still asked.
"It's easy to catch, and it's not easy to catch. First, you need patience, because there aren't many fish in the Hucheng River, and you might stand in the river for a long time without a single fish swimming past you. Second is technique; you must be fast, ruthless, and accurate. If you're a little slow or a little off, the fish might get away. And you also need strength, otherwise, you'll pick up a stick and lose strength after two minutes." Ye Hao explained.
"Brother Hao, I understand. Then we'll go fishing by the river tomorrow." Sun Chaoshu was eager to try.
Ye Hao didn't expect Sun Chaoshu to jump to conclusions and actually want to try it. If he tried, wouldn't he be exposed?
He then thought that he could replace the stunned fish with fish from his space, and immediately felt relieved, still agreeing, "Okay, we'll go tomorrow. I'll show you how amazing your Brother Hao is."
After saying this, Sun Chaoshu had a mysterious look on his face. "Brother Hao, I'll show you something good, you've definitely never seen it."
With that, Sun Chaoshu walked to the desk, squatted down, opened the cabinet door under the desk, took out a rectangular box from inside, and carefully placed it on the table.
Ye Hao was also curious, wanting to see what kind of thing Sun Chaoshu could pull out.
Sun Chaoshu opened the box, and Ye Hao glanced inside, "Oh, wow, it's actually a radio."
In this era, radios were still rare, and ordinary people rarely had access to them. He didn't expect Sun Chaoshu to have one.
"Brother Hao, you haven't seen one, have you? Let me tell you, this thing is called a radio. It can receive broadcasts, and it's a really good thing. My mom went through a lot of trouble to buy this for me." Sun Chaoshu said proudly.
"Auntie Wang is really good to you, buying you something so expensive." Ye Hao also sighed, the guy, Sun Chaoshu, really had a loving mother.
"That's right, my mom is extremely good to me. Even Yue Yue isn't allowed to touch this thing, just in case she breaks it. If I didn't see you as my big brother, I definitely wouldn't show it to you, it's a treasure."
"Alright, alright, put away that smug look. I know you have good stuff. Since you've taken it out, open it and let me listen too." Ye Hao said grumpily.
He also wanted to listen to the radio from the 1960s and see what was being broadcast.
The flowers in the flower basket are fragrant
Listen to us sing, sing, oh sing
Arrived at Nanniwan
Nanniwan is a good place, a good place, oh place
…
As the radio was turned on, a familiar song came on.
It was Ye Hao's first time realizing that this song already existed in this era.
Although Ye Hao didn't know much about songs, a song that could be sung for half a century was definitely a classic among classics.
"Brother Hao, isn't this thing great? Among all my friends, only I have one, no one else does." Saying that, Sun Chaoshu started to show off again.
"Oh, come on, Auntie Wang bought it for you, what are you showing off about? If you earned the money yourself to buy it, I might think more highly of you." Ye Hao directly scorned him.
"My mom bought it, but it's still mine, and it's also my ability to get my mom to buy it."
"Alright, I'm not going to argue these twisted theories with you." Ye Hao quickly stopped Sun Chaoshu from continuing.
The two of them bickered for a while longer. Seeing that it was getting late, Ye Hao also prepared to go back to his room to rest.
After telling Sun Chaoshu, Ye Hao walked out.
"Brother Hao, don't forget, we're going fishing together tomorrow." Sun Chaoshu didn't forget to remind Ye Hao about going fishing tomorrow.
"Got it, go to sleep." With that, Ye Hao walked out of Sun Chaoshu's room.
Seeing that Auntie Wang's room light was still on, he knew Auntie Wang must still be waiting for Uncle Sun. Uncle Sun hadn't returned so late, and Ye Hao was a little worried, but then he thought of Uncle Sun's physique and shook his head with a smile.
Given Uncle Sun's physique, it should be the criminals who are worried.
However, Ye Hao didn't know that guns were not yet banned in this era, and many people had guns in their homes, not to mention the many Enemy Spies in this era.
Ye Hao didn't think much about it and simply washed up at the public tap in the compound.
After finishing his personal hygiene, Ye Hao went back to sleep.
Ye Hao was sleeping soundly.
"Bang, bang"
Two unusual sounds late at night suddenly woke Ye Hao up.
What was that sound? Ye Hao cocked his ear to listen. At this moment, there was no sound again.
Just as Ye Hao was about to go back to sleep, "Bang, bang, bang," three more unusual sounds came.
Along with the strange sounds came a burst of noise. Perhaps it was too far away, Ye Hao didn't hear what was being said clearly.
Ye Hao, being a newborn calf unafraid of tigers, put on his clothes and shoes and went out to join the excitement.
Because the sound wasn't loud, no one else in the courtyard woke up, but Auntie Wang, who hadn't slept, walked out of her room at this moment. Seeing Ye Hao about to go out, she hurriedly called out, "Xiao Hao, where are you going?"
"Auntie Wang, did you hear the sound too? I'm going to go check it out."
"You're not allowed to go, you stay at home." Auntie Wang might have known something, not letting Ye Hao go out.
But Ye Hao's damned curiosity, if he didn't go, his heart would feel like it was being scratched by a cat. "Auntie Wang, I'm just going to take a look."
"That won't do either. You stay at home. I'll go and watch over your younger brother and sister." Saying that, Auntie Wang prepared to go out.
At this moment, there were a few more "bang, bang, bang" sounds, and Ye Hao also clearly heard the commotion outside.
"Catch the Enemy Spies!"
"Don't let him run away!"
"Over there!"
"Quickly chase!"
Hearing this, even if Ye Hao was stupid, he knew what had happened. At this moment, Auntie Wang was also about to walk out of the central courtyard. Ye Hao quickly caught up with Auntie Wang, "Auntie Wang, you can't go, it's too dangerous. I'll go instead. I'm a big man; maybe I can even help. What good would it do for you to go?"
With that, he pulled Auntie Wang back. Auntie Wang was still unwilling. In the end, Ye Hao relied on his greater strength to pull Auntie Wang back.
"Auntie Wang, you stay at home and watch Yue Yue and Chao Shu. Yue Yue might be scared alone, and Chao Shu, you watch him, don't let him run out. I'll go take a look, don't worry, if I encounter danger, I'll definitely run. You go back quickly." Ye Hao said as he pushed Auntie Wang into the house.
Seeing this, Auntie Wang could only say, "Be careful, stay safe, and run if you encounter danger."
Seeing Auntie Wang enter the house, Ye Hao also turned and ran out.
