Chapter 984: I Have No Talent

Fishing in the middle of winter is really not a treat.

Especially since the temperature by the pond is low, and it's almost night, and there are fine, crystal-clear ice flowers on the dry grass by the water.

If the night wind blows, it's normal for thin ice to form in the morning.

But this group of people, the young ones have the physical fitness of the young, not to mention, the elderly are also spirited. Now they can eat a cold raw radish while walking on the mountain, and now they sit by the pond, also steadily.

It's just that, after eating too many radishes, it's inevitable that their stomachs will gurgle. Soon, the first loud fart was released.

Alas, as people get older, their gastrointestinal tracts are not as good as before.

But except for the one surnamed Wang, everyone else had eaten radishes, so no one said anything, and instead seized the time to ask:

"Are there many fish in your pond?"

"Many!" Zhang Zhang Yanping pointed: "Look, isn't the water surface still tossing?"

The newly built asphalt road has solar street lights on both sides. It's almost dark now, but the street lights have just been turned on, and the brightness is enough, so everyone saw the sparkling water surface.

"Whoa!" Old Zhu was pleasantly surprised: "It looks like there are quite a few fish... Earthworms? Did the earthworms come?"

"Here," Zhang Zhang Yanping opened the box in his pocket and counted them one by one in the light: "One, two... This is yours, Little Du, please hold it well."

"This is Grandpa Wang's, Little Li, you hold it well..."

"This is Grandpa Li's..."

So cautious and reluctant, Old Wang looked closely and fell silent.

Well, in total ten people are fishing, can two earthworms per person make them go bankrupt? Is it necessary to be so calculating?

Alas, it's no wonder Little Jun often can't bring things back. As a village official, how can she compare to this thick-skinned stinginess!

Little did he know that Zhang Zhang Yanping was also heartbroken—two earthworms, he wished he could fish for a whole day with them. And the two fish caught with two earthworms, if it's near the New Year, selling for 60 a jin is easy!

Secretary Zhu, oh Secretary Zhu, for your feelings, the Song family has spent a lot!

He finished distributing the earthworms and found that among the fishing enthusiasts in front of him, only Little Li, who had just learned the skills, was the most serious.

Not only observing the techniques of everyone wearing earthworms, but also staring at the float and the hook, obviously a bit uneasy.

Isn't wearing a fishhook a matter of minutes?

Old Wang had already packed up, and at this moment sat on the small stool and said reservedly to Little Li: "You! Don't look at fishing too simply. This is a skill with depth and needs to be explored."

"For example, some people don't know anything at first, but they are taught more, learn more, and finally can become cultured people."

"And some people, no matter how they do it, they don't get the hang of it, and they can't catch a single fish. This is God's will, not a difference in skill."

This sudden big truth made Little Li dizzy.

He was thinking about where to throw the hook while thinking uneasily if he wouldn't get the hang of it?

"Hey!"

Old Wang was anxious.

"I haven't finished teaching yet! There are shrubs and wild grass all around, aren't you afraid of hooking them when you throw the hook!"

And when he spoke, Little Li's float had already stabilized on the water surface.

What was the last step Zhang Zhang Yanping taught?

He began to think.

And Old Wang rolled his eyes: "Fine, fine, fine, you fish according to your experience first. You won't be hungry if you don't catch it."

He said so, and quickly put his fishhook into the water.

The next moment, he saw Little Li's float in the water moving up and down, as if there were really fish biting the hook underneath. Old Wang's spirit was lifted. Then he widened his eyes:

"So fast? Shouldn't be!"

Then he looked at Little Li jealously: "But you are a novice, this novice fishing is like playing cards, there is always a partial luck, this is not certain."

"Good for you, Old Wang." Someone next to him laughed at him: "Faithful for a lifetime, but in your old age, you are not firm for fishing!"

Old Wang hummed: "I don't want to talk about your poor fishing skills, and now you are laughing at me."

Among the people present, he has studied fishing for many years, and no one thinks there is anything wrong with saying this.

And Little Li was already panicked, and at this moment turned to ask Zhang Zhang Yanping: "The float moved, should I lift the rod?"

"Lift, lift, lift!" Zhang Zhang Yanping waved his hand hurriedly: "I told you, your fishhook is in the water, and fish will come to eat soon. Why don't you hurry?"

During the conversation, only a "splash" was heard, and a fish of considerable size was lifted into the air, mixed with a few cold water splashes, and fell mercilessly on the faces of several people around.

And at this moment, no one paid attention to those water points.

In the light, the delicate scales of the grass carp flickered with cold fluorescence, and the powerful tail was swinging in the air. If it weren't for the mouth being hooked, it would have struggled into the water long ago.

Everyone was surprised, and at this moment, they helped Little Li take off the fish, threw it into the bucket, and looked at Little Li with shock:

"Didn't expect it. You are a master!"

When had Little Li ever received such praise?

At this moment, he just kept giggling.

"Yes, I didn't expect that I have such talent for fishing. There were fish coming as soon as I put the hook down..."

He excitedly took out his phone and took a series of pictures of his fish. He wanted to post it on Moments to show off, but thinking he was at work, he endured it and took it back.

Then he hurriedly grabbed another earthworm: "Let me try again, maybe that was just luck?"

Old Wang, who was ignored, "hummed" secretly, thinking you've grinned so wide, and still say it's luck, this honest guy is not honest at all!

Just then, he saw his own fishing rod, which he had just forgotten to the side, trembling slightly. After extending his vision forward, that float also floated up.

He was excited: "I have it here too!"

Wanted to show off, but was afraid of scaring the fish away, his voice was suppressed, very strange.

Old Wang obviously found the timing better than Little Li. At this moment, the float moved, but he waited patiently for a while, aimed at the timing, pulled hard, and lifted the fishing rod again!

Whoa!

That transparent line was vague in the light, and soon threw his captive into the air.

And Old Wang looked, and fell silent.

Before he could say anything, he saw Little Li cheering again.

"It seems there are fish again!"

Everyone gathered around again.

And that fish happened to be lying beside the loach caught by Old Wang after being lifted up, one big and one small. One black and one white.

"Pfft—"
