Chapter 10 Fishing
Fu Shengyan was so excited that he almost couldn't sleep last night and got up early the next day.
When Lin Zhihua woke up and went downstairs, she saw him tinkering mysteriously with the trunk of the car.
She stood at the door and took a look. She probably guessed what this guy was preparing and smiled softly.
So cute.
The car slowly stopped in front of a small Western-style building. The off-white corners of the walls were covered with verdant vines, which, caressed by the sunlight, added a touch of vibrant greenery. In the courtyard, Yun Yueyao was watering the roses in the flowerbed.
"Mom and Dad, we're back."
"Yun, Mom, Zhizhi and I are back." Fu Shengyan's tongue was almost tied.
Hearing the sound of the car stalling, Lin Boyu hurried out of the house without taking off the apron he was wearing.
Fu Shengyan walked around to the back of the car and carefully took out the large and small packages of gifts from the car. He said a little awkwardly: "These are gifts for you."
Tea cakes, bird's nests, ginseng slices, and several bottles of expensive wine. Lin Zhihua gasped. This guy actually hid so much private money behind her back?
"Bringing so many things?" Lin's father and mother were stunned when they saw the things filling up the trunk, and they wondered in their hearts, is today an important holiday?
Seeing the familiar Tongqinghao round tea, Lin Zhihua silently held her forehead. She probably knew where Fu Shengyan got these gifts from.
"Come in first, wash your hands and have breakfast."
Lin Boyu had already prepared breakfast for them. Yun Yueyao was from the south, so she made wontons and shrimp dumplings that she had wrapped the night before.
There were already two bowls of wontons on the table. Lin Zhihua ate one small wonton at a time, looking very satisfied.
"After eating, go fishing with Dad." Father Lin patted Fu Shengyan's shoulder.
Fu Shengyan:?
No one told him in advance that he would have to go fishing with his father today.
He looked at Lin Zhihua for help. How could a young man like himself, who loved to run around, do such a leisure activity?
Lin Zhihua turned her head silently.
Although her father had always treated Fu Shengyan as his son, could a son and a son-in-law be the same? Later, he found out that this boy had some interest in his daughter, and he was so angry that he disliked him in every way. However, he couldn't point it out, so he could only criticize him secretly.
After that, Fu Shengyan lost his memory, and the two had a quarrel during that time. Father Lin hadn't seen his godson for a long time, and he was a little uncomfortable. He hoped that the two would reconcile quickly. In short, it was very awkward.
After they were together, in order to please her father, Fu Shengyan knew that Lin's father liked to go fishing on weekends, so he went to ask many experienced anglers for advice. The father and son never took her with them when they went fishing together. Seeing that they got along very well, Lin Zhihua did not go fishing with them on purpose.
Fu Shengyan was at a loss and had to bite the bullet and seek help online.
How to quickly learn fishing
Soon an enthusiastic old fishing friend responded.
"The most important thing about fishing is diligence and enthusiasm, not being afraid of hot or cold weather, learning to get up early, prepare bait in advance, and find favorable terrain."
"You have to cast accurately, drop the bait to the intended fishing spot, and observe the different reactions of the float when the fish bites the hook."
"When a fish bites, don't rush to pull it ashore, especially if you've caught a big one. Use the fishing technique, learn how to let out and reel in the line, and wait until the fish is exhausted before you can scoop up the net."
Fu Shengyan remembered carefully, first put the bait, then what?
Before I could finish writing it down, Lin Boyu came out with a fishing rod and a bucket.
"Let's go. Did you put your fishing bag in the car?" Father Lin didn't see Fu Shengyan holding the fishing gear, so he didn't doubt it and opened the passenger door. "Xiaoyan, come drive."
"Dad, can I drive?" Fu Shengyan learned to drive in high school. He was not old enough to take a driver's license test and had never driven a car. But Father Lin was already sitting in the passenger seat, so Fu Shengyan had no choice but to get into the driver's seat.
The car drove out of the community and slowly drove for a distance. Seeing an electric bike speeding past the car window, Dad Lin finally realized something was wrong.
"Why are you driving so slowly?" He glanced at the dial and found that the car was driving less than twenty miles per hour.
"Safety first, safety first." Fu Shengyan laughed dryly. It was his first time holding the steering wheel, so he didn't dare to use his father-in-law as an experiment.
“…”
The black Cullinan was moving forward at a snail's pace. Passersby on the road looked at it curiously from time to time, and the atmosphere was a little subtly awkward for a while.
"Forget it, let me drive." Father Lin felt that the gazes of passers-by were too scorching, and his old face was inexplicably embarrassed.
Fu Shengyan breathed a sigh of relief.
Dad Lin fastened his seat belt, drove out of the city and onto the highway. After driving for about half an hour, he arrived at his destination.
This is a private fishing spot, surrounded by mountains and flanked by endless forests. After scanning the license plate, the guard opened the gate and let us in. The parking lot is large, and despite the large number of cars, Mr. Lin easily found a space.
Father Lin smiled and said, "The place you recommended is still the best. There are lots of fish, beautiful scenery, and convenient parking."
As soon as the car stopped, Mr. Lin rushed to the lake excitedly with his things in his hands.
"Hurry, hurry, go to the old fishing spot, your Uncle Xu and the others are already waiting for us."
They followed the path to the lake, where many people were already fishing. Father Lin arrived at his usual fishing spot, and a spirited middle-aged man nearby greeted them with a smile, "Old Lin, you're here so early today."
Father Lin put down his fishing bag and said with a smile, "It's not as early as you. Let me take a look."
Uncle Xu gestured to him to look at the bucket where a crucian carp was wagging its tail. "I was lucky today. I caught one that was over 40 centimeters long."
Fu Shengyan set aside two chairs, placed a small table between them, and opened a parasol to provide shade. He imitated Father Lin's method, spreading the bait and laying out the bait. The two of them chatted about various things, and somehow the conversation turned to the issue of children.
"When do you and Zhizhi plan to have a baby?"
Fu Shengyan muttered to himself that he couldn't even enter the master bedroom now. He didn't dare to say it out loud, and could only mumble and cover up.
Seeing his troubled expression, as if he had misunderstood something, Lin's father spoke solemnly, "You young people are under a lot of pressure right now, but you can't just focus on your career. Family is also very important. You both grew up under my nose. You are no different from my son. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me."
Fu Shengyan was stunned for a moment and looked at Lin's father in confusion.
Father Lin cleared his throat and lowered his voice, "Don't be embarrassed, young man. It's normal for men to feel a little powerless sometimes. Don't be shy, and don't be afraid to seek medical treatment."
Fu Shengyan didn't react at first, but when he understood what his father-in-law meant, his face turned red all the way to his ears.
"Dad, you misunderstood..." He stammered to explain, "I'm... it's really not what you think."
Father Lin patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Xiao Yan, this is not something to be ashamed of. Medicine is so advanced nowadays that many problems can be solved. If you are embarrassed to go to a big hospital, let's go to a reliable specialist hospital. Don't delay, otherwise it will affect your life as a couple."
Fu Shengyan opened his mouth, but didn't know how to explain. At this moment, his float moved. Fu Shengyan felt like he saw a savior and quickly stood up and said, "Dad, a fish has taken the bait."
Mr. Lin's attention was indeed diverted to the fish.
Fu Shengyan probably does have some talent for fishing. Despite being young, he is patient and calm, and he caught several fish in less than half a day.
Mr. Lin's rod unexpectedly came back empty-handed today, but he didn't want to catch nothing, so around four o'clock, he finally caught a black fish, weighing about four or five pounds.
He looked at the fish in the bucket, finally satisfied and packed up to go home.

At home, Lin Zhihua was tidying her room.
This house was bought when she was in elementary school. The original community was included in the demolition area due to some force majeure. Shen Weiwei couldn't find a house for a while, so she had to move to Fu Jinnian's villa. However, she didn't want the Fu family to know about Fu Shengyan's existence, so she entrusted the child to the Lin family.
There are a lot of old things in the room, all of which were left from her childhood and she has never been willing to throw them away.
She squatted down and opened the drawer of the desk. She accidentally glanced at a jar of little stars on the table and chuckled.
When they were in elementary school, it was popular to fold 365 paper stars so that you could make a wish.
Fu Shengyan always acted as if he was not interested in this matter, so Lin Zhihua didn't expect to receive a large jar of paper stars folded by him on her birthday.
"It's your birthday today, you can make a wish, and I'll give you another wish." Fu Shengyan pretended to be calm and handed over the gift. His tone was relaxed, but his eyes were unnatural and he didn't dare to look her in the eye.
"I thought you didn't believe this." Lin Zhihua happily took the can of colorful little stars, her eyes shining.
"I really don't believe it, but don't you little girls all believe it?" Fu Shengyan said stubbornly.
After a while, he spoke uncomfortably, "If making a wish on it doesn't work, then you can take the jar and make a wish with me. Let me make a promise first, you're not allowed to make any unreasonable requests."
Lin Zhihua smiled and put the jar of stars away.
"Xiao Yan, that kid is also like that. Why did he bring so many things today?" Yun Yueyao carefully put away the tea cake and put it in the cabinet. "Your father doesn't know how to taste tea. He always just drinks it. We can't let him waste this tea cake."
Lin Zhihua told her the truth with a smile. Yun Yueyao widened her eyes in surprise when she heard that Fu Shengyan had lost his memory.
"This kid," she smiled and shook her head, with a hint of mischief on her face, "When you mentioned it, it reminded me that Xiao Yan seemed to have brought something similar when he first officially came to visit."
The mother and daughter looked at each other and burst out laughing.
For dinner, Ms. Yun cooked herself, and the family sat happily at the dining table.
Fu Shengyan was very sweet-mouthed and praised the meal as heaven-worthy, which made Yun Yueyao laugh.
After dinner, Lin Zhihua watched the news with Yun Yueyao as usual. Usually at this time, Fu Shengyan would play Go with Lin Boyu, but today it was very rare for him to watch TV with her.
Seeing that he was watching with great interest, Lin Boyu didn't want to force him to play chess. With some regret, he went to the yard to tinker with the fish he caught today.
Lin Zhihua looked at him calmly, and Fu Shengyan's tense muscles relaxed and he breathed a sigh of relief.
She suppressed her laughter and leaned close to his ear to whisper, "Don't you know how to play Go? Why don't you play a game with Daddy?"
Fu Shengyan pursed his lips and said nothing, his eyes filled with accusation.
Is there any need to ask? Of course he is afraid that Mr. Lin will ask him to see a men's doctor again!
Is he young, strong, and energetic? Isn't he just some little scoundrel who has only let him hold my hand and hug my waist until now?
That night, everything was silent.
Fu Shengyan stood pitifully in front of the bed, hugging the pillow. "Zhizhi, Mommy only cleaned up this room. Can I sleep with you tonight?"
