This sudden accident made Yan Bugui so nervous that his face turned pale. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and grabbed the part that was not cracked with one hand, so that the fish did not escape.

The head of the fishing rod was very bent. After Yan Bugui held the fishing rod tightly for a while, beads of sweat the size of beans slowly flowed down from his forehead, and his eyes under the glasses were blurred by tears.

He couldn't help but ask for help: "Dongla, come on, help Uncle Sanda, this fish is too strong."

Lin Donglai took a quick step forward, took the fishing rod from Yan Bugui's hand, and began to reel in the fish skillfully. He only pulled the fish up after it had lost its strength.

When Yan Bugui saw the big carp, he smiled so much that his mouth couldn't close. He thanked Lin Donglai repeatedly and kept praising him.

He usually only brings a bucket when he goes fishing. He is afraid that if he stuffs the big fish into the bucket, the fish will die due to lack of water, and the taste will be much worse.

So he picked up the bucket and planned to fill it with water to raise the fish. Unexpectedly, the fish regained its strength as soon as it came into contact with water, and struggled to jump out of the bucket.

Yan Bugui quickly reached out to grab it, but the fish had already entered the lake and could not be caught with bare hands. It swam back into the lake and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

He was so anxious that he sat on the shore, beating his chest and stamping his feet, sighing for a long time, blaming himself and complaining about the bucket, leaving Lin Donglai and his sister speechless.

After he made such a fuss, the two floats stopped moving. Not only did his sister look unhappy, Lin Donglai also felt uncomfortable. He frowned and said:

"Uncle, there is more than one big fish in this lake. I advise you to be quiet. If you keep making such a noise, the fish will be scared away."

"It doesn't matter to us, but you came here for nothing today."

After hearing this, Yan Bugui thought it made sense, so he immediately shut up and stopped complaining.

It happened that he brought a small knife with him before going out in the morning, so he sat aside and repaired the fishing rod, trying to remove the cracked part.

After Yan Bugui stopped making any sound, it didn't take long for Lin Donglai and his sister to catch several more fish. Yan Bugui then fixed the fishing rod and continued to throw it into the water.

The fish was biting just right at this moment, and his float quickly nodded. After the small rod was pulled up, Yan Bugui finally felt the heavy pulling force again.

He imitated Lin Donglai and played with the fish for a while before finally pulling it up. It was a grass carp weighing less than two kilograms.

This was the first time that Yan Bugui caught such a big fish. It was much better than the small whitebait he had caught before, and he was very proud of it.

He said cheerfully to Lin Donglai and his sister, "Donlai, Dongyi, Uncle's fishing skills are pretty good, right? Look, he has caught a big fish."

He then shouted to Yan Jiecheng who was not far away: "Boss, look at the big fish your dad caught!"

In order to prevent the previous situation from happening again, this time he did not put the fish into the bucket. Instead, he asked Lin Donglai for a hemp rope, followed his example, tied the fish up and put them in the water.

The sun had already risen by this time, and because it was Saturday, more and more people came to Shichahai to fish or play.

After fishing for a while, the weather was getting hotter and hotter. Not far away, the sound of people selling candied haws and popsicles came. Lin Dongyi couldn't sit still anymore and said to Lin Dong beside him with a smile:

"Brother, I want to eat popsicles first, then candied haws."

Normally, after hearing the little girl mention these two things, Yan Bugui should have bought them back as agreed, but now he just stared at the water as if he was deaf and said nothing.

Seeing this, Lin Donglai didn't hesitate and said to him, "Uncle, there are candied haws and popsicles for sale over there. Why don't you go buy one for Dongyi?"

In fact, Yan Bugui had heard the hawking sounds a long time ago. He thought that since no one mentioned it, he might as well pretend to be injured and fool around. This way he could save the money.

Unexpectedly, Lin Donglai was not polite at all and directly asked him to buy it. Seeing that he could not refuse, he had to let the brother and sister help him watch the fishing rod and walked towards the hawking sound.

After some bargaining, Yan Bugui finally bought both items at a price half a cent lower than others. When he handed them to Lin Donglai, he said:

"Donlai, if you work harder and catch more fish, Third Master will accept all the orders. Tomorrow, Jie Cheng will definitely invite you and Dong Yi to the wedding banquet."

Lin Donglai took it and put it in his sister's hand: "Dongyi, this is a treat from the Third Uncle, thank him quickly."

After politely thanking him, the little girl handed the fishing rod to her brother and sat aside leisurely eating popsicles and candied haws.

Yan Bugui listened to the "slurping" sound of her eating the popsicle and swallowed unconsciously. It was such a hot day, and he also wanted to eat a popsicle.

But thinking that Lin Donglai was sitting next to him, he would have to buy more than one popsicle, and he would have to buy one for this kid, which would cost more money.

After weighing the pros and cons again and again, he finally endured it and continued to sit and fish.

On the other side, Yan Jiecheng, after catching a few small fish and two big fish, was so hot that his head was almost smoking, so he quickly packed up his things and came over.

Seeing this, Yan Bugui sneered: "Humph, I told you not to go over there, but you didn't listen. If you fish here, you might catch as much as Donglai did."

Yan Jiecheng was feeling uncomfortable in the sun and was in a bad mood. When his father scolded him, his temper flared up:

"Dad, you're fishing here with Donglai, but you don't catch as much as he does?"

"Hey! You dare to teach your father a lesson? If you keep yelling and making me angry, I will stir up your wedding wine tomorrow, believe it or not?"

Hearing this, Yan Jiecheng immediately stopped and dared not say anything. He sat down next to his father and began to concentrate on fishing.

Time passed quickly, and when it was almost noon, perhaps because the temperature was too high, the floats of the four people did not move for a while.

According to experience, it would be futile to continue guarding. Lin Donglai stood up and stretched his limbs, saying, "It's too hot today. There are no bites. I think we should stop here today."

He and his sister caught about ten big fish today, and there were also a lot of small fish in the bucket. His hands were sore from playing with the fish, so he wanted to go home quickly to eat and take a nap.

Yan Jiecheng also agreed. He also had a good harvest, catching three big fish and several small fish.

Only Yan Bugui shook his head and refused immediately after hearing this: "Dongla, fish for a while longer. There's nothing to do if you go back so early. I haven't caught any big fish yet."

"Dad, it's too hot, I'm so thirsty, if you insist on going fishing it's okay, go buy each of us a popsicle and we'll accompany you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Bugui jumped up and scolded him, "You are looking for trouble, right? Forget it, I won't fish anymore. Let's go, pack up and go home."

When he saw Lin Donglai pulling the harvest out of the water, Yan Bugui immediately became alert and called Yan Jiecheng to come forward to help.

There was no need for Lin Donglai to do anything. The father and son carried the fish one after the other and walked back to the courtyard...
