There has been a recent food shortage and the roads are becoming increasingly unsafe.

Now the educated youth have not yet returned to their hometowns, but the situation is already very chaotic. In a few years, when the educated youth from rural areas return, they will be unemployed and will be causing trouble all day long.

That was the most chaotic time. We brought all the people back, but there was no work for them.

If you don’t have a job, you can’t make money. It’s better to stay in the countryside, where as long as you are willing to work, you can get food.

You won't starve, but it's different in the city. If you don't work, you won't make any money if you don't have land in the city.

If you can't make money, find other ways to make money, such as stealing or robbing.

As long as they can get the money, it's fine. Besides, there is insufficient police force at this time, so there is no way to investigate such things.

Only those who are unlucky are seen by others during the robbery and are reported and arrested.

This makes the robbers even more arrogant. They may be a little scared the first time, but once they rob once and find that nothing happens, they become bolder.

The amount of money robbed is increasing, and the number of robberies is increasing.

Others saw that he was fine with robbing, so they robbed too.

This has resulted in an increasing number of cases and a more and more chaotic society.

Zhang Weiguo had no plans to go out recently, and it was not a good idea to go to the countryside at this time.

There might even be robberies. If there are too many robberies, the factory will definitely have corresponding measures. It is impossible for the things that have been collected with great difficulty to be robbed by others.

This matter was decided by the leadership. Zhang Weiguo was just a small section chief and had no say at all. Such things were not something he was worried about at all.

Above him are directors, department heads, and factory managers, so many leaders.

Even though Zhang Weiguo is not going to the countryside anymore, he can't just sit around doing nothing.

Zhang Weiguo planned to go fishing. The steel mill was now collecting supplies, and the price was 20% higher than the market price.

This price has caught up with the price in the pigeon market. What's more important is that you cannot sell it to the pigeon market, it is illegal, but there will be no problem if you sell it to a steel mill.

The steel mill has a purchasing certificate and can buy and sell things.

Mainly collect some meat and eggs.

Of course, this is for the employees of the steel mill, not everyone can come to sell things.

The main reason is that Zhang Weiguo hasn't gone fishing for a long time, and he could catch a fish to improve his life.

You can also get some fish and sell them to the steel mills to make some money.

This is also an income that can improve life.

Nowadays, employees of the steel mill go fishing whenever they are off duty.

Zhang Weiguo returned to the courtyard. At this time, only some old men were playing chess on the street.

Don't be fooled by the old age of these uncles, they are good at catching spies. Many spies were caught thanks to the reports of these uncles.

They played chess on the street and were very familiar with the things on the street.

Anyone who acts sneakily is obviously not a good person. Such a person must be planning to cause trouble.

People like this are always picked accurately without any mistakes.

At this time, there were not so many spies.

If they want to cause trouble, they can only develop subordinates, which results in a mixed bag of people.

There is no other way around it. It’s good enough that we can recruit people. What else do we have to ask for?

Some people have low psychological quality. The first reason why such people commit sabotage is fear.

Once a person is afraid, the state he behaves in will be different.

So, such people are easy to be caught.

Through them we can dig out more people.

These people were not of high rank, and the people they came into contact with were not important figures.

It's difficult to catch important people through them.

These uncles like these people very much, and there will be rewards if they can catch the spies.

In the eyes of these uncles, this is walking money.

Looking at such people, my eyes light up.

Their main occupation was playing chess.

A group of old men gathered together to discuss.

There is no such thing as a true gentleman watching a game of chess without saying a word.

The old men who watch them play chess are busier than the ones who actually play the chess. He says to play it this way, he says that way, and they can argue for a long time over a single move.

Such chess stalls are also the most lively places.

We are all bad at chess and everyone looks down on everyone else.

Everyone thinks they are right, and no one is willing to admit defeat.

Zhang Weiguo didn't dare to provoke these old men.

The identities of these uncles are not simple either, some of them are real battlefield fighters.

Zhang Weiguo went home, got his fishing rod, and left the courtyard.

After saying hello to these old men, I went fishing.

Zhang Weiguo didn't have any target and planned to find a small river to fish.

What you can catch depends entirely on fate.

In a place like Shichahai, there is definitely no shortage of people fishing.

Many people go fishing to improve their diet.

For example, Uncle San is the one who goes there most frequently, but he is a bit stingy and is reluctant to give out bait, so what he can catch depends on fate.

The most common fish caught are small fish. Even fish weighing half a pound are rare, and those weighing more than a pound can be found on one hand.

The entire courtyard, except for the third uncle and Zhang Weiguo, will go fishing.

Zhang Weiguo doesn't go fishing often like the third uncle. Zhang Weiguo goes fishing mainly to kill time.

Fishing is not only a way to kill time, but also a way to improve your food if you can catch fish.

Filling your stomach is the most important thing these days, and it would be even better if you could have some meat.

Zhang Weiguo always has a good harvest, mainly because he is willing to spend money on bait.

There are few rivers in the old city, and few big fish in them. If you want to catch big fish, it is best to go to the suburbs.

Zhang Weiguo has a car and it is very convenient for him, but it is different for others.

Those who have bicycles ride them, and those who don’t take the tram.

It's sunny today, suitable for fishing.

Zhang Weiguo ran to the suburbs and found a small river.

At this time, some people were already fishing here.

Zhang Weiguo found a place where there was no one, but it was not easy to find because the good position had already been taken by others.

Zhang Weiguo found a remote location where he would not disturb others and no one would disturb Zhang Weiguo.

The first thing Zhang Weiguo did was to make a nest and throw all the baits in.

I waited for a while and then started fishing. Maybe it was because I was lucky, or maybe it was because the bait worked, but after a short while, I started catching fish.

The first one was a small fish, not even as big as a palm.

Zhang Weiguo doesn't care about the size of the fish at all, smaller fish are better.

It tastes very delicious when fried in oil.

But in that era, oil required oil coupons, and no one was willing to use so much oil to fry fish.

In other words, Zhang Weiguo doesn't care at all, as long as it tastes good, he doesn't care how much oil is used.

If all the fish caught are small, Zhang Weiguo plans to fry them.

It is fried crispy and tastes very delicious.

It's a good start, and it all depends on how well you catch fish next.

Zhang Weiguo put the first fish in a small bucket.
