Six Hundred and Eighty Fourth Chapter More than Every Year

"Have you taken the bait?" Xiaoxue suddenly cheered up.

"Hooked! Good guy, it seems to be a big one!" Jin Er stood up from the fishing chair and stared at the float with all his attention.

Novice fishing often instinctively pulls back as soon as the fish bites the hook, but this will often cause the fish to run away. If it is a big fish, it will even rise up to resist.

Although Jin Er is not a professional fisherman, he is at least familiar with it. The rod in his hand suddenly sank, and he instinctively raised the rod to stab the fish, piercing the hook into the fish's mouth and fixing it. Since crucian carp is fished with thin lines and hooks, if crucian carp struggles violently, the fishing line may be broken. At this time, the fish must be pulled and slid, and the physical strength of the fish will be continuously consumed in the tug-of-war.

He held the fishing rod tightly, his eyes closely followed the movement of the fishing line, felt the force from his hand, sometimes took up the line, sometimes let it out, and always firmly controlled the resistance of the fish.

Xiaoxue saw the fishing process for the first time, her mouth was half-opened in surprise, her fists were clenched, and she tried hard for Jin Er.

In winter, the physical strength of crucian carp decreased, and the resistance was not as fierce as in the other three seasons. Jin Er didn't swim for too long, and felt that the resistance of the fish was calming down, so he carefully drew up the line, and then lifted the pole.

Crash!

A huge crucian carp broke out of the water. It seemed to have a premonition that it was about to become cat shit. After leaving the water, the struggle suddenly became violent, and it kept flicking its tail, causing water spots everywhere.

"Xiaoxue! Help me take down the copying net!" Jin Er shouted.

Xiaoxue was startled, and hurriedly picked up the net, trying to pick up the struggling big crucian carp.

However, her heart was flustered and her hands trembled, and she didn't cooperate with Jin Er at all. When Jin Er swung the pole eastward, she just went west to catch it. Arriving to the east, she stamped her feet anxiously, and the two yelled.

The crucian carp rallied with all its strength, finally broke free from the hook, and fell to the ground with a bang, about one meter away from the lake. It twisted its body and flapped its tail. Every time it struggled, it got closer to the lake, and it might jump back into the lake at any time.

Xiaoxue threw away the net, Jin Er threw away the fishing rod, and the two bent down to catch it together, but its fish body was too slippery, and it broke free from their hands many times.

Seeing that the success was about to fall short, a white shadow came out from the slanting stab, raised a claw to pull the fish aside, then raised the claw and slapped the ground to press it firmly on the ground, no matter how hard it struggled, it would be useless.

The two of them took a closer look and found that it was Xueqiu who came.

"Ah! Xueqiu is great!" Xiaoxue rubbed Xueqiu's head happily, "Today I will reward you with a can of canned fish!"

"Meow!" Snowball narrowed her eyes contentedly, enjoying the master's compliment.

Jin Er looked at Xueqiu, and then raised his eyes to look at his dog rolling in the mud, they were speechless and could only cry a thousand lines.

Gradually the crucian carp stopped struggling, Xueqiu had no intention of eating it and moved its claws away. Jin Er hooked the hook with a portable scale and weighed it, "Wow! It's really heavy, more than 9 taels, and it's the heaviest crucian carp I've ever caught!"

Xiaoxue stared at him eagerly.

Jin Er saw through her thoughts, pulled out the hook, picked up a slender dead branch from the ground, passed it through the hole in the fish's mouth, and handed the crucian carp to Xiaoxue, "Here, take it, for now One, but I will catch it again, just treat it as a New Year's red envelope from me."

"Thank you, Uncle Jin!" Xiaoxue took it over happily.

Jin Er had also given Xiaoxue a red envelope for the New Year before, but he had never seen her so happy, and he was also very happy himself. Sure enough, things obtained by labor and wisdom were more valuable than simply throwing money away.

Xiaoxue hesitated for a while, whether to go home and send Xueqiu home first, or take Xueqiu directly to the pet store, and soon she decided to choose the latter, because she didn't know whether she would be able to come out after returning home.

"Uncle Jin, let me go out for a while... If my mother finds me, set up cover for me..." she begged.

"Okay..." Jin Er grinned, he didn't want to get involved in this matter, but he couldn't bear to refuse Xiaoxue, so he had to bite the bullet and agree.

He took half of the water in a plastic bucket, "Come on, the fish is still alive, put it in the bucket, it won't be fresh if you just carry it over."

The plastic bucket is very small, even if it is full of water, it will not sink. At most, there can only be one fish in it. Anyway, even if he catches a fish in the past, he will put it back into the lake.

Xiaoxue put the fish in and closed the lid. The fish was half dead in the bucket, occasionally flicking its tail.

She greeted Xueqiu, and one person and one cat walked out of the villa area. Jin Er sat back on the fishing chair again, gearing up for a big fight. Although the artistic conception of empty hook fishing is good, it is quite satisfying to do it occasionally...

As for how to deal with Mrs. Jiang's accusation...well...

After Xiaoxue left the villa area, she hailed a taxi and went straight to the pet shop with Xueqiu.

There were very few cars on the road, and it didn't take long to reach the destination.

As soon as she entered, she found that today's pet shop was much colder than usual. The two live treasures were not there, and the shop seemed a little empty, and there were no customers. After all, it was the first day of the new year.

Zhang Zian turned his back to the door, with one hand on his hips and the other raised up, pointing at a gray-white parrot on the top of the shelf and cursing: "I'm talking about borrowing arrows from straw boats, what do you mean borrowing arrows from boats?"

"Quack!" Richard rolled his black eyes maliciously, "My uncle was wrong, you idiot is cheap enough, you don't need to borrow any more!"

Zhang Zian: "..."

"Quack! Put down your slippers and talk!" Richard shrank his neck.

Although there are two people missing, the pet shop is still flying around since the first day of the new year.

"Hello! Mr. Store Manager, Happy New Year! Xiaoyun, Happy New Year!"

Zhang Zian turned around and found Xiaoxue standing at the door with a smile, and a snow-white Persian cat squatting behind her.

Lu Yiyun looked away from the tablet, saw it was Xiaoxue, and said in surprise: "Xiaoxue! Happy New Year! Are you here for the live broadcast today?"

"Happy New Year." Zhang Zian responded.

Xiaoxue's appearance is often associated with the live broadcast. He thought that Xiaoxue was broadcasting live, and felt that the slippers in his hand were indecent, so he quickly threw them away.

"Why are you here today? Don't you need to accompany your family? Or... want to broadcast live?" He had the same question as Lu Yiyun.

"Well... that's not true." Xiaoxue shook her head, "I didn't plan to broadcast live today, and I came here on a whim. By the way, didn't your store's official account say that you need fresh crucian carp? How is it? Did you find it?"

"Not yet." Zhang Zian sighed regretfully, "I once had a fresh crucian carp in front of me, but I didn't cherish it. I regretted it when I lost it. There is nothing more painful than this... "

"That's it..." Xiaoxue held up the plastic bucket, "How about I bring a red envelope for the New Year? I also wish everyone more money every year!"
