1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 22 Old Fishing Man
Two hours later, the old fisherman returned home, looking tired.

There was a small white strip in the bucket, which was slightly longer than a finger. The bucket was more than half full of water, but it was difficult for him to carry it all the way home.

His wife took a look, pushed up her glasses, and said, "Old Zhu, can you please stop fishing? You've been fishing for more than half a month. Are the fish you caught enough for a meal? Take a break!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Am I not a fish?"

"Your are fish fry!"

The old man surnamed Zhu was stunned by the blow.

That doesn't make sense. I've tried the fishing spots too. Could it be that he has some special bait formula? No! I'll have to ask him next time we meet!

"Old Xie asked you to go to Rong Bao Zhai to make use of your remaining energy, why didn't you go?"

"I don't want to go." The old man fishing stared at the little white stripes swimming in the bucket and muttered.

……

In the summer, this little fishing expert can catch half a bucket of fish in just an hour or so every day.

The five years of survival on the deserted island made starting fires and fishing skills ingrained in him.

He often went out after lunch and brought back a bucket of fish without saying a word.

Take it home and either stew it or grill it, it will be quite delicious.

There is less meat these days, and people are more restrained in the summer. They only eat a bowl of meat per meal - without any oil.

Carbohydrate intake alone is not enough to satisfy your hunger!
Although there is less oil and the fish is a bit fishy, ​​as an expert in survival on a deserted island in summer, can you still care about this?
Because in summer, even Dachun and his friends can often get some fish to eat.

The meals of the children at home have improved as a result.

Sometimes neighbors would send some food to me, even if it was just one or two crucian carps, but these days we could make some soup to satisfy our cravings.

Otherwise, why would people around us describe summer as being so good in every way - it's a good way to behave!

"Xiaotian, let's go fishing?"

"Well, is Uncle Liu taking a walk?"

Xia Tian rode his father's bicycle and set off again.

This time, there were not only fishing gear in the basket, but also Mimi.

Mimi is closest to Xia Tian at home and listens to him the most. Or maybe Xia Tian has a physique that attracts small animals.

Not to mention that cats and dogs were willing to get close to him, even sparrows landed on his shoulders when he was cooling off on a recliner!
When we went fishing today, Mimi jumped out of the car and couldn't get out, so we just took her to the river for a stroll.

When we reached the river, the car hadn't even stopped yet.

The old fisherman who I met several times waved and said hello: "Hey, young man, you are here again? This way, the water is better!"

The old man never showed off his fishing gear again. He had been thinking of every possible way for a few days.

The day before yesterday, I even shamelessly asked Xia Tian for some of his bait. But it didn't work either!

If you don’t bite the hook, you won’t bite the hook!

It made him angry!

As a result, Xia Tian caught a huge black fish over 30 centimeters long, and the rod was almost bent into a circle!

Seeing that he couldn't catch any fish, he had to cut the line. The old man was so happy that he almost laughed out loud.

As a result, Xia Tian picked up a stone and was knocked unconscious by it.

The fish was placed head down in the bucket with its tail hanging out!

It looked like the old man almost had a stroke on the spot!

Yesterday, when the old man was fishing, a fish was watching him from the shore, swimming back and forth under the fishing rod. But it just wouldn't bite! He was so angry!
In the last three hours, I didn't catch any fish. In the end, I only brought back half a bucket of water plants - in short, I couldn't come back empty-handed.

He had been holding it in until today, but he finally couldn't hold it in any longer and started to get close to her.

Old man: Can't beat them? If I can't beat them, I'll join them!

"My name is Zhu Youguang, what's your name, young man?"

As the saying goes, once you think of investing in G, you will feel the world is wide. The smile on that face, well, so kind!
"Hello, Uncle Pig. My name is Xia Tian." The smile on Xia Tian's face became even brighter.

"Come on, come on, sit down. How about you try my folding chair? Is it comfortable?" The old man was very enthusiastic and even wanted Xia Tian to try his fishing rod - he was using Xia Tian's, of course.

Xia Tian swung the pole in his hand, which looked very valuable, and felt very comfortable: I have never fought such a rich battle!

After half an hour, the summer bucket could no longer hold any more.

Seeing that Uncle Zhu next to him didn’t catch any fish, what about a loach?

Fish are on the rise again in the summer.

This……

Old man Zhu's eyes turned red: This is too much! Young people should not be so arrogant!
Xia Tian: Hey~ Can you be called a young person if you are not angry? ! No, what does it have to do with me?

Old man Zhu smiled meaningfully, stood up and walked to the bicycle not far away, and took out a ball from his bag - a fishing net!
Old man Zhu smiled crookedly and said: Young man, do you understand what it means that old ginger is still spicy?

Xia Tian: Damn it! You don’t play by the rules, old man!
Zhu Youguang was also pushed into a corner. If it was the Air Force it would be fine, but being compared like this every day was simply a breeding ground for inner demons!

Finally, I used my ultimate move - I will prevent you from biting the hook and then I will let you catch the fish!
I throw the net, I throw...oh my god!

Casting a fishing net is a very skill-intensive process. It is not something you can learn by just looking at it. The old man did not know how to do it, so he learned a few tricks from others on a whim. When he threw the net out in anger, the man flew farther than the net.

With a splash, he fell into the river!

Xia Tian was stunned watching from the sidelines: Is this the ultimate secret of fishermen - using their own bodies to bait the nest?
You can only use it once in your life, but it will last you a lifetime~
You are really bold!

He looked at it for a few seconds and found something wrong!
Zhuo, this old man doesn’t know how to water!
Xia Tian quickly began to take off his clothes and shoes, rushed into the water, grabbed the struggling old man with one hand, swam back to the shore in a few strokes, and threw him on the river bank.

Upon further inspection, it turned out that it was not that it couldn't swim, but that it had fallen into the water and got entangled in the fishing net.

Well, the first person to see myself on the Internet is you!
Xia Tian was so amused that he squatted on the ground and teased, "Hey, Uncle Zhu, what's going on? Hey, Dragon King?!"

He spit out water and said, "Don't laugh... It's too hot, I want to cool down~"

Old man Zhu is obviously from Yanjing. Even at this time, he still keeps a tough attitude. Really authentic~
At this critical moment when Old Man Zhu was risking his body to make a bait and Xia Tian was jumping into the water to save people, there was such a big commotion, and Xia Tian actually caught fish again!
Xia Tian was quick and grabbed the fishing rod, and caught a huge crucian carp!

Looking at Old Man Zhu who was soaked in water, Xia Tian took the fish off the hook and put it into Zhu Youguang's bucket.

"Hey, Xiaotian, what are you doing? You put it in the wrong place, you put it in the wrong place!" Uncle Zhu seemed to be not willing to accept a gift given out of pity.

Xia Tianyang smiled and said, "Uncle, your rod is great. Otherwise, I wouldn't have caught so many fish. I have to share some with you! Thanks to your rod!"

Look, this is a very fitting statement!
Old Zhu, Old Zhu, you are not even as good as a child!

Zhu Youguang watched Xia Tian put fish into his bucket one by one. He wanted to stop her but couldn't bear to do so. He was so conflicted that he even started to criticize himself.

"Don't say anything, I'll make friends with you as my fishing friend!"

……

Zhu Youguang was quite ambitious today. He hung two big fish with water plants pierced through their gills on both sides of the handlebars, and there was also half a bucket of small crucian carp, whitebait and other things in the bucket.

I walked back and forth three times in the old alley where I had lived for more than ten years!
If the old neighbor hadn't been unable to bear it anymore and asked him if he had Alzheimer's disease and got lost, he would still be pedaling!

I'm so proud of myself today!
Zhu Youguang said to his wife, "Put these two fish in a basin and keep them there. I'll cut up a pound of meat tomorrow at noon. I'll invite my fishing friends to come over for a drink!"

His wife has lived with him for more than 30 years and still doesn't know him. He probably didn't catch the fish himself.

Forget it, just let him relax. I'm afraid he'll pass out every day. I don't know why he's so old, why is he fighting with a fish?

The next day at noon, Xia Tian came to the door with some seasonal fruits and vegetables.

Zhu Youguang opened the door and said, "Hey, Xiaotian is here? Come on, why bring anything with you? You are such a smart kid!"

After entering the house, Xia Tian addressed Zhu Youguang's wife as "Auntie" - it's my first visit, sorry to bother you.

Hey! Lao Zhu's fishing friend is a young boy?!

You know what, she's quite pretty.

He is tall, fair-skinned, and has beautiful facial features. He is very attractive to look at.

"Hurry up and sit down, the food will be ready soon~"

It was my first visit, and I didn’t feel comfortable eating as much as I could in summer.

Even so, the old couple kept praising the good appetite and good health in the summer.

Xia Tian is good at talking, but he managed to coax this retired couple into a state of confusion.

Talk about a good harvest in the fragrance of rice flowers, listen to life experience~
Summer's little mouth is like honey~
Under Xia Tian's "sweet talk", Zhu Youguang almost drank too much.

As soon as he came up, he began to talk about his past without thinking, and he didn't treat Xia Tian as a child.

Zhu Youguang is 61 years old this year and has just retired.

His family has a long history of learning. When he was young, he followed his relatives to be an apprentice in a pawn shop in the old society. At a young age, he was working the counter and behaving like a pro.

I started out in the cultural department, dealing with antiques.

A few years later, I worked as a laborer in a printing factory, and now I'm retired.

Originally, someone asked him to come out of retirement and do his old job again - there are really not many people who understand this these days, and there are basically no young people.

But because of his experiences in previous years, he became a little discouraged and became more competitive with fishing.

"That's why they say different trades mean different worlds! This dead thing in my hands is at my mercy, but this live fish in the water is really disobedient!" Zhu Youguang's face turned red from drinking.

"You saved me yesterday, and I've thought it through. I won't argue with you anymore. I still love this business. I'll go to Rong Bao Zhai tomorrow..."

Raise your glass in the summer, but it's water - drinking too early affects brain development
"Congratulations to Uncle Zhu for returning to his old hobby and continuing to shine for the motherland. Cheers!"

"cheers!"

In fact, when casting the net that day, Xia Tian felt that the old man did not seem like someone who would do heavy work.

One is the body shape, two is the pace, and three is the action of throwing the net... I have never done any heavy work.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have thrown himself into the water.

When it comes to antiques, calligraphy and paintings, Zhu Youguang has a lot to say.

Xia Tian also listened with great interest.

This thing is very good in the first life, what with Teacher Niu, what with this being unfashionable to wear, what with the bald Haidong, what with the craftsman Jia... I have seen a lot of them.

Is there still a chance to enter this industry in this life?
A ready-made guide!
This is a great time to start collecting! Cheap!
Uh... even if it's cheap, I don't have that kind of money!
