The family finished breakfast chatting and laughing.
Dad Zhou and his sisters went out to work. Zhou Ziwen stayed at home and was also preparing to go out to play.
Now that Uncle Zhou's treatment has ended, he has more free time.
“Shiying, Yiyi, I’m going to go out for a walk, do you want to come with me?”
Zhou Ziwen asked.
"Brother Ziwen, I don't want to move anymore. You can go alone!" Chen Qiaoyi shook his head.
Seeing that the due date was getting closer, she became less and less active.
Calculating the time, she and Zhou Ziwen's child will be born in one month.
"Ziwen, I'm not going either. I'm taking care of Yiyi at home. You can go by yourself!" Chen Shiying also shook her head.
Zhou Ziwen nodded and said, "Okay, you guys have a good rest at home, and I will go out for a walk by myself."
After coming out of home, he was going to go to a nearby park for a stroll.
It was still early, and feeling the morning sunshine and breeze, Zhou Ziwen felt particularly comfortable.
When he came to the park, Zhou Ziwen saw many people doing morning exercises, including those running, doing Tai Chi, and practicing swordsmanship. They were full of vitality and vitality.
He walked along the path in the park, admiring the surrounding scenery and breathing in the fresh air.
While walking, Zhou Ziwen saw many people fishing by a lake. He suddenly remembered that his fishing skills had reached level ten, and decided to try his skills.
But now he had no tools and needed to go home.
When he got home, he found a fishing rod that Zhou's father usually used, and then made some secret bait, and then set off from home to the lake.
This lake is the famous Shichahai.
Although the name is the sea, it is actually a group of lakes.
However, this lake group is relatively large. It is bounded by the northeastern part of Xicheng District and Dongcheng District. It is composed of three connected lakes: Qianhai, Houhai and Xihai, with a total area of more than 100 hectares.
These three lakes are interconnected and together with the North Sea, Zhonghai, South China Sea and other waters, form the water system network of Sijiu City.
His fishing skills have reached level ten, and he can be said to be a professional among professionals when it comes to fishing.
After just walking around for a while, he found a suitable fishing spot.
After Zhou Ziwen selected the position, he assembled the fishing rod, then hung his own special bait. With a slight flick, the fishhook and the bait fell into the water, causing ripples in circles.
He sat by the lake and waited patiently for the fish to take the bait.
After his fishing skill reached level ten, he became extremely sensitive to the movements of fish, and could even tell whether a fish was approaching through the slight fluctuations in the water surface.
Not long after, he felt the fishing rod sink slightly and knew that a fish had taken the bait.
He was neither impatient nor impatient, waiting patiently until the fish completely bit the hook, then steadily lifted the rod.
A plump carp was caught. Zhou Ziwen took the fish off and put it into the fish basket next to it.
He was not in a hurry to continue fishing, but quietly observed the water surface, looking for the next target.
As time went by, Zhou Ziwen's fish basket gradually increased in number, including crucian carp, grass carp, silver carp, etc., and he harvested a lot.
But he also wanted to catch more challenging fish, such as the old turtle.
This fishing spot was specially chosen by him. Judging from his level 10 fishing level, this place was the most likely to catch the old turtle.
Seeing that Chen Qiaoyi's due date was approaching, he also wanted to replenish his wife's health. The soft-shell turtle, also known as soft-shell turtle, is a reptile that lives in the water. Its meat is delicious and nutritious. It is a treasure in the eyes of fishing enthusiasts.
However, old turtles are cunning by nature and are not easy to take the bait. Being able to catch old turtles is undoubtedly a great challenge and honor for anglers.
Zhou Ziwen changed to a special bait, which he prepared according to the habits and preferences of the old turtle when he was studying fishing skills.
He believes that with this bait, the chance of catching old turtles will be greatly increased.
Sure enough, not long after he changed the bait, he felt the fishing rod sink suddenly, and a strong force came from the other end of the fishing line.
Zhou Ziwen felt happy, knowing that he might have caught something big this time.
He calmed down and slowly struggled with the creatures in the water.
Through the force coming from the fishing rod, he could feel that the old turtle was quite big, weighing at least four or five kilograms.
The people around also noticed what was going on here, and gathered around to watch curiously.
Under the gaze of everyone, Zhou Ziwen patiently dealt with the old turtle until it was exhausted, and then slowly pulled it out of the water.
A huge old turtle was caught. Its limbs, head and tail were curled up in its carapace, and it looked very interesting.
The crowd around him burst into awe and praised Zhou Ziwen's fishing skills.
In the crowd, a middle-aged man couldn't help but admire: "This little brother's fishing skills are really amazing. It's really rare to catch such a big old turtle so quickly!"
An old man next to him also nodded in agreement: "Yes, I have been fishing here for decades, and I have never seen anyone catch an old turtle so easily. Young man, where did your skills come from? Where did you learn it?”
“I’m just lucky, so I don’t have any skills.” Zhou Ziwen shook his head and answered modestly.
A young man came over, his eyes full of envy: "Brother, do you want to change this old turtle? I am willing to pay a high price."
"Old turtle, I still want to save some for my wife's health. I still have fish here. Do you want it?"
Zhou Ziwen shook his head and asked.
Old turtle, he will definitely not sell it. This thing has high nutritional value and is a good supplement for Chen Qiaoyi who is about to give birth.
The young man was a little disappointed, but when he heard that Zhou Ziwen wanted to trade fish, he immediately became interested.
"How did you exchange these fish? I want two big ones."
Zhou Ziwen looked at the young man who was about the same age as him and said with a smile: "Well, I don't have a scale here. These two big ones are about five or six pounds each. I count them five pounds for you, and you pay seventy cents a pound." "Seven yuan is enough."
Zhou Ziwen doesn't sell it to him at a high price. The market price of fish here is more than 70 cents, but he sells it for 70 cents, which is quite cheap.
What's more, each of his two fish weighed more than five kilograms, and the largest one weighed almost six kilograms.
After listening to Zhou Ziwen's words, the young man looked at the two fish carefully and felt that the price given by Zhou Ziwen was indeed fair, so he readily took out the money and handed it to Zhou Ziwen: "Brother, I want these fish. Yes, here are seven dollars.”
Zhou Ziwen took the money and put the two big fish into the young man’s fish basket.
Looking at the young man's happy look, I guess I'm going to get lost for a while when I get home today.
The happiness of a fisherman is sometimes that simple.
Seeing this, the people around also expressed their intention to buy fish.
Zhou Ziwen responded one by one and gave a reasonable price based on the size and type of fish. After a while, everyone in the fish basket had almost all the fish in it.
Of course, he still kept two medium-sized grass carps for himself to eat. (End of chapter)
