Ye Qingling rolled her eyes at him: "Tch, those who drown are usually good swimmers, so don't be careless."
"I know what I'm doing, so you don't need to worry."
Feng Ye smiled and put his arm around her shoulder. "By the way, when I called, my father-in-law said he would come over in a few days."
"My father is coming?"
Ye Qingling was overjoyed to hear this.
"Yes, and your mother will come to take care of you too."
"That's great. With my parents here, I feel much more at ease. I can also take good care of myself during the pregnancy and wait for our baby to be born safely."
Feng Ye feigned displeasure: "What's wrong? Didn't my parents take good care of you?"
"How could that be? My parents have taken such good care of me. Ever since I started showing, I haven't had to do anything. I just wait to be served every day. But having my own parents around makes me feel different, and I feel more at ease."
"Haha, just kidding. My parents have to take care of the workshop, so sometimes they might be too busy. Since your parents are here, they can help take care of you."
"..."
For the next few days, Feng Ye had nothing to do and spent his days with Ye Qingling, helping her with housework and taking walks and chatting with her.
The two of them rarely had such a leisurely day, and they spent each day in a warm and comfortable atmosphere.
Occasionally, Feng Ye would go to the beach to surf the waves, collect clams, conches, and stranded fish and shrimp...
On the evening of the second day of the Lunar New Year, he packed the clothes he needed to change into.
Although the weather is cold now and you don't need to shower every day, you'll inevitably get your clothes dirty and wet while fishing, so you still need to be prepared.
Anyway, it's just a few pieces of clothing, which can be packed in a backpack and doesn't weigh much.
Early on the third day of the Lunar New Year, he packed his backpack, boarded a small delivery boat, and went to the county with his father and Feng Jialing.
This time, he didn't ask Qin Aijun to come to the village to pick him up.
The yacht couldn't dock, and the family's small boat was already out, so he needed to find someone to take it. He thought it was too much trouble and preferred to go to the county himself.
Upon arriving in the county, after helping unload the goods, he headed straight to the county passenger terminal where Qin Aijun's yacht was located to meet up with the others.
Besides Qin Aijun and Hao Aiguo, there were three unfamiliar middle-aged men on this voyage.
After the introductions, Feng Ye learned the names of the three men: Zhong Cheng, Cai Guoqiang, and Yang Wei.
However, their specific identities and backgrounds were not introduced.
But he could more or less guess that they must all be important figures in the city.
The three of them simply nodded politely to Feng Ye without saying anything more.
Feng Ye didn't mind; it was just a matter of being humble and polite on the first meeting.
Although he was hoping to make the three of them acquaintances, he couldn't just offer his warm welcome only to be met with indifference and looked down upon.
So when he arrived at his destination, he took a fishing rod, found a spot, hooked a live shrimp on it, and waited quietly for the fish to bite.
He wouldn't go over to talk to Qin Aijun or Hao Aiguo unless they called him.
Time passed by, the sea breeze was blowing and it was a bit chilly.
Feng Ye, who was initially full of expectations, gradually began to feel bored.
He glanced at the others from time to time, but they all seemed to have made no progress. They sat quietly in their respective spots, intently staring at their fishing rods.
Fishing requires patience.
Especially now that the weather is cold, the fish are less active, so we need to be even more patient.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the fishing rod in front of him suddenly sank, and the fishing line instantly tightened.
Feng Ye was overjoyed; finally, a fish had taken the bait, and it seemed to be quite strong.
He quickly stepped forward, gripped the fishing rod tightly with both hands, and began to reel in the line.
However, upon closer inspection, I couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed.
This is a ribbonfish, and it's quite large, over a meter long.
However, no matter how big it is, it's still just a ribbonfish, and it's not very valuable.
"Xiao Feng, that's impressive. The first fish you caught was this big."
Qin Aijun glanced back, a hint of approval in his eyes.
The others also heard the commotion and turned to look, but after seeing that it was a ribbonfish, they all looked away and continued to focus on their fishing rods.
"It's a pity it's just a ribbonfish, a cheap one. It can only be an appetizer tonight."
Feng Ye smiled, continued to hook live shrimp onto the fishing hook, and threw it back into the water.
"Whether it's valuable or not, you have to get fish biting first. Look at us, we haven't even made a sale yet."
"Take it slow, you'll reap the rewards eventually."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Hao Aiguo's excited voice rang out: "Old Qin, your fishing rod is moving! Quick, reel in the line!"
Qin Aijun quickly turned around, gripped the fishing rod tightly with both hands, and pulled back forcefully.
Ripples spread across the water's surface, and a silvery-white fish leaped out, shimmering brilliantly in the sunlight.
This is also a ribbonfish.
As the two men each pulled up a ribbonfish, it was as if Pandora's box had been opened, and the others followed suit, catching fish one after another.
Each time the bait is baited and thrown into the sea, a fish will bite within a minute or two at most.
However, they mostly catch ribbonfish, with very few other fish; you can only catch one or two occasionally.
Ribbonfish like to move in groups, and they will swarm to food as soon as they find it.
Feng Ye guessed that there might be a large school of ribbonfish foraging in this area, which was why they were so easy to catch.
Although ribbonfish are not valuable, everyone is enjoying themselves and the atmosphere is lively, with laughter echoing in the sea breeze.
For non-professional anglers, the enjoyment comes from the process itself, not from the value of the fish.
I feel especially happy whenever a fish bites the hook, and if the fish that bites is a big one, I feel an even greater sense of accomplishment.
The ribbonfish they caught were generally very large, with the smallest being 70 or 80 centimeters long and the largest exceeding 1.5 meters and weighing 8 or 9 kilograms.
