Siheyuan: The road to counterattack for the little transparent

Jia Zhang was the person in the family who hated to see Bang Geng sad. Seeing her eldest grandson rolling on the ground in tears, she felt extremely distressed.

She gritted her teeth and had to take out two dimes to exchange for the candied haws, feeling both distressed and helpless. Banggeng then got up from the ground and was dragged home by Jia Zhang, cursing at him.

After watching the grandparents walk away, sister Lin Dongyi covered her mouth and laughed out loud, giving them a thumbs up: "Brother, you are awesome, I admire you more and more!"

Lin Donglai thought to himself, this is nothing, your brother has many more abilities.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye...

This sign-in system is a bit weird. The sign-in rewards these days are basically all steamed buns, and they are limited to six each time. Fortunately, they are all white flour buns and they don’t make your throat ache when you eat them.

The brother and sister sometimes ate steamed buns and sometimes ate porridge, and they managed to save up enough steamed buns for several meals.

These two days, Lin Dong came to the school teacher to pay the tuition and arranged for his sister to go to school the next day. He felt relieved.

After his sister went to school, he no longer had to worry about family and could finally focus on doing his own things.

After arriving at this courtyard, he hadn't eaten fish for some time. When he saw people fishing by the Shichahai Lake that day, he had an idea in his mind.

When Lin's father was alive, he would sometimes go fishing. There were fishing rods and fish hooks at home, which he had collected long ago.

It was another sunny day. After his sister went out to school, Lin Donglai went to dig some earthworms, packed up his fishing gear, picked up a bucket and walked towards Shichahai.

It was only early morning when we arrived at Shichahai Lake, and there were already several anglers around. Based on his previous impression, Lin Donglai quickly found the fishing spot that he had liked last time.

Unfortunately, there was already someone sitting there, and it was none other than the old man who was impatient and didn’t catch any fish last time.

This fishing spot looked like it could accommodate two or three people, but probably they were all scared by the old man's bad temper, so there was no one else here.

Lin Dong looked around and there was really no more suitable place, so he had to bite the bullet and sit aside.

The old man turned his gaze from the lake to Lin Donglai with a look of surprise. After all, it had been a long time since anyone had gone fishing with him.

Lin Donglai smiled and nodded at him as a greeting, then he crushed a few earthworms and scattered them into the water to make a nest.

Then he quickly and gently threw the hook into the water to adjust the depth of the float. He pulled up the hook again, hung the bait, and swung the rod in one go, then sat quietly and stared at the float.

His smooth movements made the old man beside him nod his head repeatedly. He couldn't help but ask, "Young man, you are quite skilled. Is this your first time fishing?"

Lin Donglai smiled and said, "I learned fishing from someone before."

There is nothing wrong with what he said. He did learn a lot of fishing skills from the videos he watched, and he had used these skills to catch fish before.

The old man became interested after hearing this: "Then I want to see if you can catch any fish today. I have been sitting here for a few days and haven't caught any fish. The fish in Shichahai are very smart and they are all small fish."

Lin Donglai just smiled and said nothing. He found the scene of the old man fishing that day funny. With his impatient temper, he pulled the fish up before it even took a bite of the hook. It would be a miracle if he could catch any fish.

Seeing that he didn't answer, the old man thought he was being disliked, so he sat back in his seat and stared at his fishing float carefully.

It’s different after making a nest. After a while, Lin Donglai’s fishing float began to nod, but the movement was very light. If nothing unexpected happens, it is probably a small fish.

Sure enough, after nodding several times, the float was gently pulled up. Lin Donglai quickly lifted the rod, and a small white stripe weighing about two or three taels was pulled up.

Seeing that Lin Donglai caught a small fish, the old man laughed happily and said, "See, I told you they were all small fish."

Lin Donglai smiled and did not refute. In such a large Shichahai Lake, there must be big fish as well as small fish. It just depends on whether one has the ability and luck to catch them.

He put the bait on the rod again, cast the hook into the water surface and watched the float quietly.

Seeing this, the old man returned to his position. At this moment, his fishing float moved a few times, and he immediately gripped the fishing rod nervously.

The fish neither sank the float nor moved it, so the old man couldn't wait to pull it up, but of course he got nothing again.

But it was different for Lin Donglai on the other side. His float sank quickly after being clicked a few times. The fishing line was straightened. He pulled it up quickly and the fish was hooked.

The fish was quite strong, and if he tried to pull it towards the shore with force the line would probably break, so he used the technique he had learned before: slipping the fish out.

After a long time, the fish was finally exhausted and pulled to the shore successfully.

This is a big carp, which looks like it weighs at least four or five pounds. The old man next to it was stunned and speechless for a long time.

The fish was so big that it took up half the bucket. Lin Donglai was afraid that the fish would run away, so he had to use the water plants on the shore to twist a rope to tie the fish up and keep it in the water.

For the next half day, Lin Donglai kept catching fish. Not only did he catch a lot of big fish on the shore, he also filled a bucket with fish.

The old man next to him saw him catching fish continuously, so he simply stopped looking at his own float, moved a stool and sat next to him, watching and learning.

In fact, according to Lin Donglai's understanding, fishing is not too difficult, because the steps to catch a fish are basically similar.

After Lin Donglai cast his rod and caught fish several times, the old man finally figured out the trick and tried to follow Lin's example, patiently waiting for the float to sink for a while before pulling up the rod.

However, because he was too impatient and did not reel in the fish, the big fish all ran away. Even so, he still caught a few small fish.

You know, this was the first time he caught a fish in several days. He was so happy that he thought from the bottom of his heart that this guy was his lucky star.

In a blink of an eye, it was noon. As the saying goes, even gods find it difficult to catch fish at noon. At this time, the fish started to bite poorly. After changing earthworms several times and casting the rod, there was no movement of the float.

Lin Donglai knew it was time to go home, so he packed up his gear and dragged up all the big fish from the shore, a total of fifteen big fish, weighing at least fifty or sixty kilograms in total.

The fish in the bucket are big and small, at least ten pounds. It is not easy to eat so many fish and even take them back home.

The old man at the side looked at the big fish all over the floor, his eyes drooling, and asked, "Young man, you can't finish all these fish, how about selling me two?"

Lin Donglai was worrying about how to take these fish back. When he heard the old man say he wanted to buy fish, he immediately thought of Section Chief Su from the steel rolling mill. It should be no problem to sell these fish to him.

In fact, he had observed the old man while fishing. The clothes he wore were made of smooth material, and the cloth shoes on his feet were still new. He looked different from the people in the courtyard, so he should not be greedy.

Thinking of this, he quickly replied: "Uncle, I'll give you this fish, but you have to watch it for me first, and I can give it to you when I come back."

The old man nodded repeatedly. After all, he was counting on Lin Donglai to take the big fish home to show off to his wife, so that she wouldn't waste her time complaining every day that she couldn't catch any fish.

Lin Dong came to see that he had agreed to the task, put the big fish back on the shore, and walked towards the steel mill with confidence...
