I won 90 million, all I want to do is lie down and relax!

Two days later, the store had enough staff.

As a result, Lu Zhaoyang, the temporary worker, was laid off.

That morning, the weather was a bit gloomy, and the heat of the past few days had finally subsided.

Lu Zhaoyang appeared at the riverbank fishing on time once again.

These past two days, Grandpa Hei wasn't around, so his old fishing buddy took him to a new fishing spot to try it out.

The old man greeted Lu Zhaoyang and asked him if he was going.

Lu Zhaoyang thought about it and realized that his skill level seemed to be the same everywhere.

I simply didn't bother with it.

Today was another day of consistent performance.

Half a day passed, and not a single fish was caught.

Lu Zhaoyang leaned back, pulled his hat down further, and decided to take a nap.

Just then, he received a call from his second aunt.

"Yangyang, I've arrived in Yunzhao. I'm at your older sister's house. Come over for dinner tonight, I'll cook something delicious for you."

Lu Zhaoyang's second aunt has two daughters, who are his two older cousins.

The two are now married and have children.

His two older sisters, the eldest of whom is named Xie Xiaoting, are currently living in Yunzhao.

My second sister's name is Xie Ran, and she now lives in the southern part of the city.

Lu Zhaoyang has always had a good relationship with his two older sisters.

However, the two of them are now married and later had children.

He has also been studying and working in other places over the years.

Aside from the Lunar New Year, they inevitably see each other much less often on ordinary days.

Like this time, he's been in Yunzhao for so long and hasn't even gone to visit anyone, which is somewhat impolite.

On the one hand, he doesn't like to bother people.

On the other hand, there's my older sister's boyfriend.

Xie Xiaoting is a nurse, and her husband Wang Lei is a doctor.

This person isn't a bad person, but he loves to lecture and sometimes acts a bit arrogant.

This made Lu Zhaoyang quite disgusted.

But now that his aunt has arrived and has called him, he naturally can't refuse.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhaoyang sat up again.

I might as well try my luck and try to catch a couple of fish.

If we can catch it, it'll make a perfect gift for visiting friends and relatives.

Lu Zhaoyang was just hoping for a stroke of luck, and his luck actually turned out to be pretty good.

Half an hour later, the float on the water suddenly jerked, and then was pulled down by a powerful force, and the fishing line instantly taut.

Lu Zhaoyang quickly got up, assumed a fighting stance, and began to struggle with the fish in the water.

After a while, and after some maneuvering, Lu Zhaoyang finally managed to pull up a large carp that looked to weigh at least five or six pounds.

Looking at the huge wild carp, Lu Zhaoyang could hardly contain his excitement.

This was his biggest catch since he bought fishing gear.

Lu Zhaoyang subconsciously turned his head to share his joy with someone, only to realize that the old man was not here today.

There are people fishing a bit further away.

But it wouldn't be right for him to be so foolish as to run over and show off.

Fishing is something you can brag about to no one, which takes away a lot of the fun.

Lu Zhaoyang felt a pang of regret, but at least he had the gifts for visiting relatives today.

After a while, Lu Zhaoyang caught another smaller mandarin fish.

He was completely satisfied; two fish were presentable enough.

In the evening, Lu Zhaoyang went to the supermarket and bought some fruit.

Then they drove to Yuyuan Residential Area.

He had come twice before, but it was two or three years ago.

Fortunately, he has a habit of keeping records, so he was able to find his way home, avoiding the embarrassment of having to call to ask for directions.

Knock on the door, and it will open quickly from the inside.

"Big sister, it's been a long time!"

The one who opened the door was the eldest sister, Xie Xiaoting, followed by her youngest son.

Lu Zhaoyang greeted him with a smile.

Xie Xiaoting smiled warmly and quickly invited Lu Zhaoyang in.

Lu Zhaoyang handed the things in his hand to Xie Xiaoting, who complained that he was being too formal by bringing gifts, while telling the two children to greet people.

"Hey bro, I'm home."

In the living room, Wang Lei was scrolling through his phone when he saw Lu Zhaoyang and casually nodded.

They didn't stand on ceremony or act like strangers with him, and neither of them got up.

Wang Lei was about six or seven years older than Lu Zhaoyang, and in his eyes, Lu Zhaoyang was still a child who hadn't experienced much.

Lu Zhaoyang didn't pay attention, but his eyes involuntarily fell on his increasingly thinning head.

Every time he saw his older sister's boyfriend, he would look at her hairstyle.

He would become more and more certain of one thing.

That is, hair loss is indeed very difficult to treat.

In the kitchen, Lu Yueping, Lu Zhaoyang's second aunt, who was busy at work, came out to greet them when she heard the noise.

"Oh dear, you child, why did you bring things when you came to our house?" Lu Yueping said reproachfully.

"That's right, my brother took two fish. We have everything at home, why did he spend this money!" Xie Xiaoting muttered.

"Auntie, sister, I didn't buy this fish. I just caught it today. It's wild. You should try it later and see what you think."

Lu Zhaoyang smiled faintly and said.

Lu Yueping exclaimed in surprise, opened the bag to take a closer look, and laughed, "You caught it yourself? Wow, it's huge! You're really something!"

"What you catch yourself is now considered a good catch."

Xie Xiaoting laughed and said, "Your brother also likes fishing, but he's too busy these days and doesn't have time for it anymore."

"hehe."

Lu Zhaoyang knew.

In the past, when visiting relatives during the Spring Festival, he often heard Wang Lei talk about his fishing experiences.

"Quickly, sit down on the sofa, you guys chat for a while, the food will be ready soon."

Lu Yueping went back to the kitchen and continued working.

"Have some fruit."

Xie Xiaoting washed the cherries and brought them to the table.

"Everyone says that big cities are fast-paced, but Zhaoyang finds it rare to be able to calm down and learn how to fish."

Wang Lei's fishing instincts seemed to have been activated; he put down his phone, a faint smile on his lips, and spoke calmly.

"Brother Lei, you're joking. I was indeed quite busy in Nancheng, working non-stop until I was almost at my limit. But fishing is something I only recently started doing. I haven't looked for a job since I got back, so I've been going fishing with some people to pass the time," Lu Zhaoyang replied.

Upon hearing this, Wang Lei's smile took on an even more enigmatic meaning.

After working away from home and losing their jobs, they return home and are idle.

A typical example is young people who are not married, who can earn money so easily without a job.

Wang Lei, with a hint of familiarity and a touch of advice in his voice, said to Lu Zhaoyang, "You've been back for so long, but you haven't come to visit. You're being too formal with your sister Xiaoting. You said you're free now, so you should go out more, meet more people, and open up more opportunities."

Ha ha.

This is a typical example of Wang Lei's pre-emptive offer.

In the past, Lu Zhaoyang would mostly have used silence to "rebut" or "protest" this preachy style that was utterly unappealing.

Even a struggling worker has a strong sense of self-esteem.

Now, Lu Zhaoyang is not the same person he used to be.

He let Wang Lei do as he pleased, with a genuine smile on his face, his expression much more attentive than when he was listening to a lecture in a university classroom.

Once Wang Lei starts lecturing, he doesn't intend to stop anytime soon.

In his understanding, or for many others.

Within the system, hospitals and schools—that's what you call a proper job.

Working for a private company or being a freelancer are all unstable jobs.
