"Hello, I'm Chen Zhiyao, and these are my mom and grandma," Chen Zhiyao greeted them warmly.
The young woman with a neat short haircut raised her head, her eyes sharp and confident:
"Hello, I am Li Jiahe, I have been fishing for 6 years and I am a fishing enthusiast."
Upon hearing that Li Jiahe had been fishing for 6 years, Chen Zhiyao noticed the fishing rods next to Li Jiahe's bed. There were five or six of them, of various sizes.
She had seen most of them in her father's shop; they were all high-end products. Each one cost several thousand yuan, and the most expensive one was estimated to cost over ten thousand yuan.
These fishing rods alone are worth tens of thousands of yuan; maybe he's a rich kid.
At this moment, she was very glad that she had a system that allowed her to exchange for fishing rods; otherwise, she would have spent a lot of money just to buy fishing rods.
How old is Xiaohe this year?
Are you married?
Grandma Chen and Yan Shuting were very enthusiastic. They immediately started asking people all sorts of questions, just like checking their household registration.
"Uh... I'm 28 this year, and I'm not married yet," Li Jiahe replied somewhat awkwardly.
Grandma Chen then asked, "Do you have a boyfriend?"
"Not yet." Li Jiahe smiled helplessly, her expression slightly embarrassed.
"Mom, Grandma!" Chen Zhiyao quickly interrupted the two and pulled the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law over.
"Hurry up and pack your things, I'll show you around the ship later."
She really didn't want to continue this topic; she felt embarrassed for Sister Jiahe.
Li Jiahe couldn't handle the overly enthusiastic mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, so she took the opportunity to pick up her fishing rod and said she wanted to go fishing.
Chen Zhiyao smiled apologetically at her, somewhat embarrassed.
"Sister Jiahe, I'm sorry, but my mom and grandma are very outgoing."
"It's alright, there's still plenty of time before we leave the boat. I'll go fishing for a bit."
Li Jiahe wasn't angry, just a little embarrassed. She nodded, smiled, and walked out.
Just like last time, there were four small bunk beds in the room, and a lockable cabinet at the head of each bed.
Chen Zhiyao didn't bring much; she only had a large backpack and a bag of snacks that she had brought specifically for this occasion.
There were only a few sets of clothes and toiletries in the bag, so there wasn't much need to pack.
Snacks were placed directly on the surface of the cabinet, and toiletries were also taken out and placed there.
Then stuff the entire backpack into the closet, and you're all packed.
At this moment, Grandma Chen and Yan Shuting also finished packing their things, and the three of them walked outside chatting and laughing.
Having spent six days and six nights on the ship, Chen Zhiyao was quite familiar with the place and led the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law around.
"This fishing boat has a total of 24 fishing spots, all of which are marked. You can only fish in your assigned spot."
Chen Zhiyao was lucky; she drew the fishing spots for everyone.
She didn't know if it was the system's fault, but she actually managed to draw several fishing spots that were connected together.
Number 1, number 2, number 3, number 5, number 6.
Except for number 4, which wasn't available, the Chen family practically monopolized the first few numbers.
The three of them walked around the boat for a while and realized that everyone's fishing spots were all at the bow.
Chen Zhiyao thought it would be good to get together, and the whole family could benefit from using bait additives to bait the grounds.
…………
The next day, before dawn, Grandma Chen and Yan Shuting were already up in bed, full of energy.
Recently, since she hasn't been at sea, Chen Zhiyao has gotten used to sleeping in late. She was sound asleep when her mother suddenly woke her up.
"Get up, it's already past 6 o'clock, the sun is already high in the sky."
Chen Zhiyao reluctantly opened her eyes and found that the sky outside was still gray, and her phone showed that it was only 5:40 a.m.
They say the sun is shining on your butt, but the sun hasn't even risen yet.
Just as the three generations of the family arrived at their fishing spot, the boat's loudspeaker came on:
"Dear guests, we have now arrived at the first fishing spot. We wish you a pleasant fishing experience."
"I'll go get the bait, Dad, you guys go ahead and bait the spot." Chen Zhiyao volunteered to go get the big squid provided by the fishing boat.
As soon as his daughter left, Chen Weiqiang went to the ship's ice storage and brought over a box of pre-frozen mixed fish to use as bait.
Chen Zhiyao had already added bait additives to these small fish, making them particularly effective for groundbaiting.
As soon as I threw it in, it attracted a lot of small fish from the vicinity. And the small fish, in turn, attracted the larger fish.
Chen Zhiyao returned quickly, and as soon as she got back, she distributed the giant squid that she had secretly added the ingredients to to the others.
Opening the X-ray glasses, one could see that the water in front was filled with shadows of all sizes.
There are a few big guys on the seabed too.
Chen Zhiyao happily changed to larger fishing hooks and sinkers, preparing to fish for big fish in the sea.
I had just hung up a giant squid that was bigger than my palm when I heard a commotion behind me.
A series of "Oh ho" sounds indicate either a break in the trendline or a loss of connection.
Amidst the gloating laughter, there was also a crisp sound of someone slapping their thigh.
Chen Zhiyao casually tossed the bait in her hand, then turned around happily to watch the excitement.
Chen Zhiyao, who was enjoying the spectacle, suddenly felt the fishing rod in her hand suddenly sink.
The force came so suddenly and intensely, as if a ferocious beast was desperately pulling at something underwater.
The immense pulling force almost caused her to lose her grip on the fishing rod.
Immediately afterwards, the fishing rod reel began to spin rapidly, emitting a piercing "squeak" sound.
Suddenly, a big fish took the bait, and Chen Zhiyao's eyes widened instantly. Her heart raced, a mixture of excitement and nervousness washing over her.
"Squeak squeak squeak..."
At this moment, the fish in the sea began to struggle frantically, its strong and powerful body twisting violently, desperately trying to break free from the fishhook.
The fishing rod in her hand was pulled to its limit at that moment, making people hold their breath in suspense.
The fishing line on the reel shot out like a wild horse, quickly traveling more than ten meters in the blink of an eye.
However, Chen Zhiyao did not back down at all; on the contrary, she became even more excited, her heart pounding wildly.
She gritted her teeth, gripped the fishing rod tightly, and engaged in a thrilling battle with the big fish.
Her hands began to move involuntarily, and she couldn't contain her excitement as she shouted:
"Wow! I bet it weighs at least forty or fifty pounds!"
The excited voice drew the attention of everyone around.
The fishermen on the boat all turned their gazes toward this side, revealing an indescribable expression.
He was excited, envious, and a little jealous; his expression was quite subtle.
Amidst the envious gazes around her, Chen Zhiyao happily began to reel in the fish, her palms sweating with excitement.
However, before they could even enjoy their joy for a few minutes, the once straight and taut fishing line suddenly and unexpectedly loosened, as if its tendons had been removed.
The fishing line floated lightly and softly on the vast and magnificent sea.
Chen Zhiyao suddenly took a big step back, and all her energy and spirit were pulled away like a fishing line.
"Oh ho!"
"Oh ho!"
"Oh ho!"
...
The fishermen nearby were overjoyed, as if it were New Year's Day; they couldn't hide the schadenfreude in their eyes.
She was just watching others make a fool of themselves, but the next second, it became others watching her make a fool of themselves.
It's true that one shouldn't be too smug.
