"Is it hooked?" Snowy was excited.
"Hooked! It seems to be a big one! "Jin Er stood up from the fishing chair and stared at the bobber.
Beginners would instinctively pull back as soon as the fish bit the bait, but this would cause the fish to run away. If it was a big fish, it would resist even more, and if it was not strong enough, the rod would fall out of the hands.
Although Jin Er was not a professional fisherman, he was at least familiar with the process. The rod in his hand suddenly sank, and he instinctively raised the rod to stab the fish so that the hook was stuck in the fish's mouth. Because fishing for Crucian Carps required a thin line and a thin hook, if the Crucian Carp struggled too much, the fishing line might break. At that time, the fish had to be dragged away, and the fish's physical strength would be exhausted.
He held the fishing rod tightly, and his eyes followed the movement of the fishing line. He felt the strength coming from his hands, and sometimes he reeled in the line, and sometimes he let it go.
It was the first time that Snowy had seen the fishing process. She was so surprised that she clenched her fists and tried to help Jin Er.
In the winter, the Crucian Carps' physical strength decreased, and their resistance was not as strong as in the other three seasons. Jin Er felt that the fish's resistance had calmed down, so he carefully reeled in the line and lifted the rod.
Splash!
A huge Crucian Carp broke out of the water. It seemed to have a premonition that it was going to become cat sh * t. After leaving the water, it suddenly struggled more violently, and kept swinging its tail, splashing water everywhere.
"Snowy! Help me catch the net! "Jin Er shouted.
Snowy was stunned, and hurriedly picked up the net, wanting to catch the struggling Crucian Carp.
However, she was panicking, and her hands were trembling. She couldn't cooperate with Jin Er at all. Jin Er swung the rod to the east, and she swung it to the west. When Jin Er swung the rod to find her, she extended the net to the east. She was so anxious that she kept stomping her feet, and the two of them shouted.
The Crucian Carp used all its strength, and finally broke free from the hook. It fell to the ground, about a meter away from the lake. It twisted its body and swung its tail. Every time it struggled, it got closer to the lake, and could jump back in at any time.
Snowy threw away the net, and Jin Er threw away the fishing rod. The two of them bent down to catch it, but its body was too slippery, and it repeatedly escaped from their hands.
Just as he was about to fall short of success, a white shadow rushed out from the side. It raised its claw and smacked the fish to the side. Then, it raised its claw and firmly pressed it to the ground. No matter how it struggled, it was of no use.
The two of them fixed their eyes on it. It was Snowball.
"Ah! Snowball is great! "Snowy rubbed Snowball's head happily." I'll reward you with an extra can of fish today! "
"Meow!" Snowball narrowed its eyes in satisfaction, enjoying its master's praise.
Jin Er looked at Snowball, then raised his eyes to look at his dog that was rolling in the mud. They looked at each other speechlessly and could only cry.
The Crucian Carp gradually stopped struggling. Snowball had no intention of eating it, so it moved its claws away. Jin Er used a portable scale to measure the hook, "Wow! This is the heaviest Crucian Carp I've ever fished up! "
Snowy stared at him eagerly.
Jin Er knew what she was thinking. He pulled out the hook, picked up a slender branch from the ground, put it through the hole in the fish's mouth, and handed the Crucian Carp to Snowy. "Here, take it. I only have this one for now, but I will catch more. Just take it as … a New Year's red packet from me."
"Thank you, Uncle Jin!" Snowy took it with joy.
Jin Er had given Snowy New Year's red packets before, but he had never seen her so happy. He was also very happy. Things that were gained through hard work and wisdom were more valuable than simply throwing money around.
Snowy hesitated for a moment. Should she go home and drop Snowball off at home first, or take Snowball directly to the pet shop? Soon, she decided on the latter, because she didn't know if she would be able to come out after going home.
"Uncle Jin, I'll go out for a while … If my mom comes, please cover for me …" she begged.
"Okay …" Jin Er grinned. He didn't want to get involved in this, but he didn't have the heart to refuse Snowy, so he had to bite the bullet and agree.
He filled the plastic bucket with half a bucket of water. "Come on, the fish is still alive. Put it in the bucket. It won't be fresh if you take it directly."
The plastic bucket was very small, and even if it was filled with water, it wouldn't be heavy. It could only hold one fish at most, and he usually put the fish back in the lake.
Snowy put the fish in and covered it. The fish was half-dead in the bucket, and occasionally flicked its tail.
She called Snowball, and one person and one cat walked out of the villa area. Jin Er sat back on the fishing chair, ready for a big fight. Although the mood of fishing with empty hooks was good, it was also quite satisfying to fight once in a while …
As for how to deal with Mrs. Jiang's criticism … well …
After leaving the villa area, Snowy called a taxi and went straight to the pet shop with Snowball.
There were very few cars on the road, and it didn't take long for them to arrive at their destination.
As soon as she entered the door, she found that today's pet shop was much quieter than usual. Without the two clowns, the shop seemed a bit 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 waist and the other raised, pointing at a gray parrot on the top of the shelf. He scolded, "I said to borrow arrows from a straw boat. What do you mean by borrowing arrows from a straw boat?"
"Quack!" Richard rolled his eyes maliciously. "I was wrong. You idiot, you are already cheap enough. You don't need to borrow more!"
Zhang Zian was speechless.
"Quack! Put down the slippers and talk properly! "Richard shrank its neck.
Although there were two people missing, the pet shop was still in a mess since the first day of the New Year.
“Hello！ Mr. Store Manager, Happy New Year! Xiao Yun, Happy New Year! "
Zhang Zian turned around and saw Snowy standing at the door with a smile. A white Persian cat was squatting behind her.
Lu Yi Yun looked away from the digital display board and saw Snowy. She said in surprise, "Snowy! Happy New Year! Are you here for a live broadcast today? "
"Happy New Year," Zhang Zian responded.
Snowy's appearance was often associated with a live broadcast. He thought that Snowy was doing a live broadcast, so he quickly threw away the slippers in his hand.
"Why are you here today? Don't you need to spend time with your family? Or … do you want to do a live broadcast? "He had the same question as Lu Yi Yun.
"Well … not really." Snowy shook her head. "I don't plan to do a live broadcast today. I came here on a whim. By the way, didn't your public account say that you needed fresh Crucian carps? Did you find them? "
"Not yet." Zhang Zian sighed regretfully. "There was a fresh Crucian carp in front of me, but I didn't cherish it. When I lost it, I regretted it. This is the most painful thing in the world …"
"I see …" Snowy raised the plastic bucket. "How about I bring one as a New Year's red packet? I wish everyone a prosperous year! "
