Lu Zhaoyang doesn't fish much these days, but he's long been familiar with the "fishing enthusiasts" community.

Without a doubt, this is a lovely, persistent, and sometimes heartbreaking group.

The old man's skin color is not just simple black; it's the mark left by wind, frost, rain, and dew—a medal of supreme glory.

Lu Zhaoyang admired the old man, but admiration aside, he certainly couldn't give up the clothes.

It's not that he's petty, but at the old man's age, even if he gave in, it would be pointless.

Xu Chunliang's attitude has already been very clear.

"Grandpa, whether I understand what I'm wearing or not doesn't seem to matter much..." Lu Zhaoyang said helplessly.

"What's important?"

The dark-faced old man subconsciously pressed for an answer.

"The important thing is that even if you're dressed very smartly, I'm happy to give it to you..."

The dark-faced old man was pleased that Lu Zhaoyang was so perceptive and sensible at such a young age, but before he could show his joy, Lu Zhaoyang continued, "I'm afraid you can't go into the water either. Why don't we go ask Secretary Xu?"

The old man wanted to retort, but the words stuck in his throat. He just stood there, glaring angrily.

"Sir, Secretary Xu is just worried about your health, right?"

Upholding the fine tradition of respecting the elderly and caring for the young, Lu Zhaoyang kindly said, "How about this, don't worry, I'll pick out two big ones for you later, okay?"

Upon hearing this, the dark-faced old man's eyes widened even more.

What kind of talk is this? Why are you leaving two of the bigger ones for him?

Young people lack martial ethics.

That's like rubbing salt into his wounds!

Can something bought or given as a gift be compared to something you catch yourself?

Lu Zhaoyang watched as the old man tossed out a few "good"s and turned to leave. Looking at his stubborn back, he scratched his head in confusion.

"This old man's got a bit of an arrogant temper, doesn't he?"

Lu Zhaoyang looked at the dark-faced old man, whose back was radiating anger, and didn't understand what he meant.

Soon, Lu Zhaoyang changed into a jumpsuit, and when he returned to the pond, some people had already started swimming.

Each person took a landing net, and the tools used to put the fish were varied.

There were large plastic basins, buckets, and steel basins; they were clearly collected fresh, and none of them were the same.

Lu Zhaoyang immediately prepared his tools and was ready to go.

As soon as he stepped into the mud, he immediately felt as if his foot had suction cups attached to it, and it slid in smoothly, making a squeaking sound.

Several people, starting from different directions, began their arduous journey.

Lu Zhaoyang held the net in one hand and the plastic basin in the other. He used all his strength to pull out his left foot, took a step forward, and then shifted his weight to move his right foot, repeating this process over and over.

Finally, after quite a while, the six of them arrived at the area with water.

"thump!"

A crucian carp the size of a palm leaped out of the water and landed directly on the mud in front of Lu Zhaoyang.

Separated from the water source it depended on for survival, the fish struggled and thrashed its tail, but to no avail.

Lu Zhaoyang happily put down the basin, squatted down, and picked up the fish.

The first harvest.

Once they reached the water, things became much easier. Lu Zhaoyang was quick-witted and nimble. He saw a slight ripple on the water and immediately scooped up a live, wriggling crucian carp with his net.

The people in the water were making a lively fuss, and the people on the shore were shouting excitedly as well.

When school was over, many more children quickly arrived.

The chattering was lively and bustling.

"Hey kid, you didn't see anything on the left? Do you have vision problems?"

"Are you stupid? There's a huge thing right next to your left leg, practically in front of you, can't you see it?"

"Throw away the net and grab it with your bare hands. Are you stupid at such a young age?"

Lu Zhaoyang didn't pay attention at first, but finally, he realized that the voice sounded somewhat familiar.

Looking up, I saw the dark-faced old man standing on the shore, one hand on his hip and the other pointing.

That's right, the person who was clashing was clearly him.

"Yeah, I'm talking to you, kid. To your left, to your left, right next to your leg, there's a huge fish you can't see, hurry up and catch it!"

Lu Zhaoyang knew that the old man was unhappy because he hadn't gone into the water.

This was clearly a way to get him to come here and have some fun.

Lu Zhaoyang couldn't help but find it amusing.

Suddenly, he felt a hard blow to his calf.

He was wearing a heavy bodysuit, and he was underwater, so it was quite obvious that the fish must be big.

Without a second thought, Lu Zhaoyang threw away the net and quickly plunged his hands into the water.

Sure enough, Lu Zhaoyang touched something slippery with his left hand, which he couldn't grasp with one hand.

It is indeed very big.

Ignoring the possibility that the water might seep into his bodysuit, he quickly lowered his body and forcefully wrapped his arms around it.

It's held down!

But the fish was struggling and almost broke free.

Lu Zhaoyang lowered his body again, pressing down firmly.

Lu Zhaoyang gripped the fish tightly with both hands, and it struggled fiercely, almost escaping from his grasp several times.

caught!

Lu Zhaoyang had completely disregarded his image, his chin touching the water.

Finally, he made sure he had a firm grip.

Lu Zhaoyang slowly stood up, his hands emerging from the water and raised high. A nearly half-meter-long carp was happily wagging its tail in his hands.

The beautiful fish scales shimmered in the sunlight, making them quite a sight.

Lu Zhaoyang was very excited and called out to the dark-faced old man on the shore who had suddenly fallen silent, "Grandpa, how about this one? I'll save it for you!"

The dark-faced old man remained silent, his eyes fixed on the fish, lost in his imagination.

He couldn't imagine how wonderful it would be if he caught or fished such a big fish.

The tram was fully charged last night. If he caught the fish, he could have driven through the streets and alleys until the battery ran out.

such a pity!

That kid is infuriating!

"Hey, grandpa, don't go!"

Lu Zhaoyang was puzzled as to why the old man suddenly turned around and left, and kindly called out to him.

"Wow, this one's huge!"

Xu Chunliang held a loudspeaker, maintaining order at the scene while broadcasting the harvest results.

When he saw the big fish that Lu Zhaoyang had caught, he immediately shouted.

Cheers erupted from the shore, along with excited shouts from children.

Deeply moved by the atmosphere, Lu Zhaoyang raised the fish in his hand high to show it to the people on the shore.

Looking into the basin, there was already quite a harvest.

However, his plastic basin wasn't deep, and if he put the fish in his hand in it, it might jump out.

Lu Zhaoyang didn't want to do that unless he stunned the fish.

"Xiao Lu, bring the fish up first, no rush."

At this moment, Xu Chunliang on the shore also reminded them through a loudspeaker.

So Lu Zhaoyang dragged the basin and struggled to walk to the shore.

Lu Zhaoyang trudged through the mud, his steps uneven.

A group of people had already gathered on the shore, waiting for him, or rather, waiting to see the big fish.

The dark-faced old man stood outside the crowd, his eyes filled with envy.

"Come on, grandpa, come on!"

Lu Zhaoyang, with his sharp eyes, spotted the somewhat lonely figure and waved his hand, calling out.

After hesitating for a moment, the old man finally couldn't resist the temptation and went over.

"Sir, you give the orders, and I'll carry them out. This is on both of our behalf."

Lu Zhaoyang squatted on the ground, still holding the big fish, and laughed.

Looking at Lu Zhaoyang's bright smile, the old man with the dark face suddenly realized that this kid wasn't so infuriating after all.
