Song Tan's Notes

Despite this, three young people squeezed onto the awning boat.

That's just how young people are these days.

The engine roared, and the small boat cut through the white waves on the river, the water in the middle of the river gradually turning a deep blue-green.

Qin Yun watched cautiously from the side and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "Fishing in the middle of the river, I wonder what kind of catch they'll get."

Speaking of this, Song Tan asked curiously, "Have you ever tried sea fishing? What do you catch?"

Moreover, he shook his head: "We inlanders only go to the beach for activities like diving and walking on the sand. Sea fishing sounds a bit too high-end."

Yunfeng suddenly remembered: "That author XX from your group, his family is from the coast. Going to the beach to fish is a common thing for him there."

"I remember you two know each other, why didn't you arrange a date?"

That's because they're not interested!
Qin Yun said, "I don't like seafood. It's nice to eat it once or twice, but I can't stand eating it every day. Besides, while others go beachcombing, we go up the mountain to dig for mushrooms and wild vegetables."

"By the way, Song Tan, can I bring my family to dig for wild vegetables again next spring?"

Sure, why not?

However, given how popular Yunqiao Village is now, there aren't even enough wild vegetables to dig up in the wasteland.

She could only offer a heads-up: "I'll gather a lot of random wild vegetable seeds and scatter them on those neglected mountains."

"If you don't mind, you can bring your family to come and play for a while longer."

What's there to mind?
"You sowed the seeds, how is that any different from being carried by wind, rain, snakes, insects, and rodents? You didn't force the growth, it still has to take root and grow leaves."

Upon hearing this, Song Tan couldn't help but recall the time when she had just returned last year. In order to quickly earn some money, she had been feeding the little bit of spiritual energy she had just accumulated onto wild vegetables...

Wasn't it her who urged them to have a child?

Moreover, he chimed in, "Then I'll come too! Those wild vegetable farms in the suburbs, they not only sow seeds, but also fertilize, control pests, and spray pesticides!"

Fortunately, none of their families really like eating wild vegetables; they were just there for the fun of it.

Yunfeng said with a hint of helplessness, "It's only summer, and you've already made arrangements for digging wild vegetables next spring. Isn't that a bit too far ahead of your time?"

The wind and waves were so loud that they had to shout to talk, and somehow they had so much energy.

Qin Yun sighed, "Let's make a plan first... I'm getting anxious thinking about how long I've been playing here. Won't you miss the food here when you get back?"

Next year is something to look forward to! Now even Yunfeng is feeling down.

Of course I want to!

Amidst laughter and conversation, they arrived at the auspicious location chosen by Song Sancheng.

Ahead, a small blue boat slowly came to rest on the edge of a gentle riverbank. There, the grassy area by the woods sloped slightly downwards, the temperature under the shade of the trees was cool and not too damp, and it was very tranquil.

Although there is shallow water, there are not many aquatic plants, making it easy to cast a line.

Moreover, the terrain here consists of large arc-shaped gaps and several bends. Each of them chose a spot, which was just enough to stretch half a line.

When the time comes, if anyone lifts the rod, everyone will be able to see the fish thrashing about in mid-air...

Oh!

Song Sancheng stood there, holding a fishhook, gesturing wildly, feeling quite pleased with himself for finding such a good spot!

But while he was filled with lofty ambitions, he had a daughter who was completely unmoved by such sentiments.

At this moment, Song Tan wandered around the area and couldn't help but sigh, "Dad, no wonder you chose this place to fish. Look at this area, it looks like a flooded area, the water is flowing this way with the wind."

The spiritual energy and food that had dissipated also tended to gather here.

Thinking about it this way, there's actually a good chance I'll be able to eat some delicious fish tonight.

"What do you mean by 'some hope'?" Song Sancheng said angrily. "It's not like I've never caught one before. Stop remembering the times I couldn't catch one, okay?"

Song Tan was very filial, and at this moment he performed the art of perfunctory response, giving a series of "uh-huhs" and "yeahs," before asking again:
"Dad, when can you catch five, six, seven or eight fish? Otherwise, with so many people in the family, if you only catch one or two each time, there's no way to divide them up."

Song Sancheng: ...

Why does this tattered little cotton-padded jacket keep undermining us?

He suddenly felt incredibly embarrassed—the group of people following him were probably all secretly wondering just how weak he was!
But it's okay.

He looked at the box beside him, inside which were bright red, slender, and full of life.

The fish here certainly aren't as clever as ours. We'll just have to coax a few of the dumber ones if we can. Once the fish bucket is full, let's see what the family has to say! (End of Chapter)
