Chapter 82: Chapter 82: No, who let him fish like that!

In the privately created class group, there was no Lao Liu or class leader, but somehow Qianbao sneaked in.

Jiang Nian sent the picture, and within two minutes.

Qianbao immediately sent a Mambo meme, "[Arrest]"

"Playing hooky, right? Did you bring your English test paper? Take out your phone and snap a picture!"

(Jiang Nian): "Teacher, the test paper fell into the water. Pangolins came ashore and gave me a slap, telling me to write less Western stuff."

Qianbao: "[Yang Mi speechless]"

With Qianbao stirring things up, seven or eight classmates suddenly chimed in the group.

Li Hua entered the group chat with special effects, "Hey Nian, remember to wear a helmet when fishing."

(Ma Guojun): "Where are you fishing??"

(Sun Zhicheng): "Look at the fishing rod (smartly), my dad loves fishing too, bought a set worth thousands. Whenever he’s free, he drives out to find a spot to fish."

Look, the fish haven’t started biting yet, but they’re already taking the bait.

By the reservoir, Jiang Nian put away his phone and found a shaded spot.

He was just about to sit down, when about ten meters away, a fully equipped middle-aged man holding a fishing rod suddenly shouted.

"Young man, that spot of yours has very poor fish activity."

"Huh?" Jiang Nian echoed in the style of his attire, tilting his head, "Fish activity? What’s that?"

The middle-aged man was visibly embarrassed, with his reclining chair, fishing box, bait box additives, and fishing protection gear all set, but he got up and walked over.

Seeing this, Jiang Nian couldn’t help but be curious.

"Uncle, aren’t you afraid the fish will bite while you’re away?"

"Nah, the bite alarm will ring, it’s not a problem..." The uncle waved grandly, but felt a bit embarrassed speaking, perhaps used to not catching anything?

Don’t underestimate a middle-aged man’s frugality, young man!

"Cough cough, is that all you brought for fishing?" The uncle scrutinized him from top to bottom, noticing a large white latex bucket and a bamboo pole with a rigged setup.

"Is there anything else I should bring for fishing?" Jiang Nian looked dumbfounded, playing along with the uncle’s pretense, "Uncle, your fishing rod is so pretty, what’s that box for?"

"Ah, you’ll know once you’ve been fishing a while." The uncle scratched his head, "Branded fishing rods, it doesn’t matter what size fish you catch, as long as your gear is complete, otherwise you’ll regret it if the fish gets away."

"Uh-huh." Jiang Nian nodded, pretending to rig bait, "Uncle, do you think I can catch anything with this gear?"

The uncle couldn’t help it and burst into laughter.

"Wild fishing is just for fun, a stroke of luck might do... but hey, why am I telling you this? You’re not in a spot for big catches anyway."

Cutting the line means breaking the line, cheaper fishing lines are prone to breaking.

"Oh~ I don’t know either, it’s my first time fishing." Jiang Nian lowered his head, manipulating the line while layering buffs, "I’m just a student in real life, I can’t compare with you, uncle."

"I really envy your professional gear, uncle, so cool and slick."

"Haha, you’ll have it in the future too." The uncle, flattered, returned to his fishing spot to get half a pack of cheap bait for him.

"Uncle, thank you." Jiang Nian accepted the sidekick fee.

Perhaps it was Jiang Nian’s extremely simple gear that piqued the uncle’s interest (not catching fish).

The uncle didn’t seem to want to return to his fishing spot and instead stood with hands behind his back, watching Jiang Nian with interest, occasionally sharing some knowledge.

"Good rods have many advantages, good feel, stable catches, quick retrieval, your bamboo rod......"

Jiang Nian remarked, "But my rod is not easy to break."

"Hahaha, young man, you’d have to catch a huge fish to break your rod." The uncle laughed heartily, as if he heard the biggest joke.

Before the words were finished, the water’s surface surged, splashing everywhere!

Did he get a bite?

Oh my gosh!

The uncle was dumbfounded, similar to those times he waited without a bite, and the moment he got up for a quick break, or did something else, the fish always came. His words just manifested!

"Hey, there it is!" Jiang Nian quickly responded.

He tried to reel in the fish but realized it seemed a bit big? Although he had systematic boosts, catching fish like drinking water, he couldn’t vouch for the quality of the fishing line.

As Jiang Nian hesitated, the awakened uncle swiftly ran to his fishing spot to grab his landing net.

"I’m coming! I’m coming!"

The uncle took immediate action, "Carp, oh dear, two to three pounds."

Plop, the fish landed into Jiang Nian’s big bucket.

Both men stared at the carp swimming a circle in the bucket, then looked up and exchanged a glance.

The uncle looked a bit embarrassed, forced a smile, and spoke congratulatory words.

"Not bad for a youngster."

"Thank you, uncle, you’ll have it too." Jiang Nian said, "It’s my first time, not much experience. It’s mostly luck, can’t compete with you, uncle."

The uncle nodded with slight frustration.

You’re comforting me now!

Youngster.

In the past, waving a fishing rod worth hundreds of bucks with grandeur. Now driving over an hour with gear worth thousands into the countryside reservoir to fish.

Sitting there since morning, bait is set, but damn it, no bites!

"It’s alright, you carry on fishing, I’ll go check back a bit." The uncle still held a dignified adult face, no one would be envious of a rookie’s buffs, right?

No way, right?

Just halfway back, he suddenly heard Jiang Nian’s voice again.

"Another one!"

What?

He turned his head abruptly, and sure enough, Jiang Nian’s rod was twitching!

No way, young man, you...

"I’m coming! I’m coming!" The uncle sprinted, grabbing the landing net off the ground and rushed over, "Another carp, oh, this one’s not small."

Plop, the white latex bucket now had two fish.

The two exchanged a glance, the uncle waved his hand proactively.

"No need to thank me, I probably won’t catch any today. You try again, I think your luck might nearly be out, that’s how fishing goes."

"Oh oh." Jiang Nian nodded, "Then I’ll try."

Truthfully, the middle-aged uncle felt a bit uncomfortable. In wild fishing, the most important thing isn’t tools or skills, but resources!

Resources generally mean location, which spot, which coordinates can repeatedly reel fish. Without resources, nothing else matters.

Now he reasonably suspected Jiang Nian’s spot was a golden fishing spot. But as an adult, it wasn’t appropriate to negotiate spot locations with a young kid.

Alright, alright.

The weather’s getting cold, and so is uncle’s heart.

The uncle shook his head, hands behind his back, walked back to his fishing spot. From watching the excitement initially, to now netting two fish for the kid, only ten minutes had passed.

In those ten minutes, his rod stayed motionless, much like a client who hadn’t taken their meds.

He sighed, planning to browse his phone while sitting in the recliner. But no sooner than he was about to sit down, he heard Jiang Nian again, that same familiar......

"Another one!!"

The uncle sprang up immediately, grabbing the landing net for a third round. Plop, three fish in the bucket now felt somewhat cramped, the two men glanced at the fish, then exchanged a look.

"Thank you, uncle." Jiang Nian said.

"Don’t call me uncle, call me Brother Sun." Sun Jianguo pulled out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter, "Young man, smoke? Want a Huazi?"

"I don’t smoke, don’t know how." Jiang Nian declined.

"Cough cough, not smoking’s good, good for health." Sun Jianguo patted his head with some awkwardness, "Um..... young man, can I have a turn at fishing?"

Since someone was taking over, Jiang Nian took out his phone to snap a picture of the fish in the bucket.

Opened the group chat, saw the 99+ records.

Someone @-ed him, turned out to be Sun Zhicheng. Jiang Nian didn’t know these people well, rarely hung out, but was quite polite when speaking.

"Is it your first time fishing? Suggest buying some gear for hundreds to practice."

Classmate: "Wow, hundreds? So pricey?"

(Sun Zhicheng): "That’s nothing, my dad spent almost ten grand on his gear."

Classmate: "Your family’s loaded, spoiled kid, spoiled kid."

(Sun Zhicheng): "(Grin) It’s just my dad’s hobby, I don’t get those middle-aged men. He drove out early today, before dawn, no idea where he went fishing."

Classmate: "@Sun Zhicheng, let’s see what your dad caught, ask him to send us some pics, open our eyes."

Classmate: "I gotta say, now I want to try fishing too."

Jiang Nian stood by, scrolling through the chat records. Saw Sun Zhicheng’s latest message, "(Grin), no problem, I’ll ask."

Jiang Nian originally wanted to post the bucket of fish in the group but hesitated. First, he sent a message to Xu Qianqian, asking her to prepare a temporary holding place for the fish.

"We might get plenty of fish today."

Xu Qianqian replied, "?????"

Jiang Nian: "?"

Xu Qianqian: "Haven’t caught a single fish, gone mad?"

Jiang Nian didn’t reply, putting away his phone.

Planning to catch a couple more later, it doesn’t matter if the bucket’s full. Will tie them with a plastic rope, let Xu Qianqian reluctantly clean them while tearing up today.

Every year, there’s fish, ever heard of it!

Suddenly, ahead, Sun Jianguo’s phone buzzed. He took a look at it, frowned initially but still answered the call.

"Son, what’s up?"

Amazingly, his tone suddenly softened.

"The fish I caught, oh oh, this morning...." Sun Jianguo suddenly got vague, "No way, how could it be? You forgot I never miss."

At this point, a proud father quietly shattered.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian curiously studied Sun Jianguo, thinking could it be so coincidental?

After hanging up, Sun Jianguo, feeling somewhat awkward, cleared his throat and said.

"Young man, could I ask you something, would you sell me a fish? Don’t worry, the price is fair, you name it, I won’t haggle."

Jiang Nian scratched his neck, glancing at the class group message again.

"Brother Sun, isn’t one fish a bit too little?"

Zhenan Middle School.

Sun Zhicheng was still waiting for a show-off picture from his dad, looking at question after question popping up in the group. The satisfaction in his heart swelled, what high schooler fishes?

Such a niche hobby, super cool!

(Chen Yunyun): "My dad loves fishing too, but his skills aren’t great. Often goes and comes back empty-handed, my mom calls him the reservoir guardian."

Seeing this, Sun Zhicheng was overjoyed.

Turns out Chen Yunyun’s father is also a fishing enthusiast, now he and she have a common topic. In the same group, a step closer for heaven’s sake.

He edited a message to the class group.

"My dad is similar, sometimes catches tiny ones. But he rarely returns empty-handed, always manages something, I think it’s about fish activity."

Sure enough, Chen Yunyun @-ed him.

"(Confused)(Confused) What’s fish activity?"

Sun Zhicheng was thrilled, blood rushing to his head, excitement shooting through the roof. Eagerly tapping his screen, eager to share every piece of fishing knowledge he learned from his dad.

"It’s when fish open their mouths to eat, nothing much biting means poor fish activity.... (Blah blah)"

Chen Yunyun: "Wow, Sun Zhicheng, you fish as well?"

Sun Zhicheng’s lips formed a Nike swoosh, his face flushed with excitement. At this moment, he wanted to spill all his fishing knowledge right now and make a name!

Right as he was pacing and scratching his head in excitement on the field, his dad sent him a picture.

In the fish protector, three fish were hopping lively.

At that instant, Sun Zhicheng gasped, hurriedly forwarded the picture to the class group.

"@Chen Yunyun, (Grin) my dad’s morning haul today. He said he just arrived and hadn’t really started fishing yet, so the harvest isn’t much yet."

The following was Sun Zhicheng’s personal embellishment, but the effect was fantastic.

The class group was filled with exclamatory remarks, even Chen Yunyun sent an emoji.

"@Sun Zhicheng, your dad’s amazing, your fishing skills must be great too."

(Sun Zhicheng): "(Grin) Just average."
