775: Buy a car? Buy a house? Start a business?
Zhou Ziheng increased the speed of reeling in the line, and at the end, he could hardly reel it in anymore. Zhou Ziheng was even worried that if he used a little force, the fishing rod or fishing line would break.
Fortunately, decades later, fishing rods and fishing lines are made of high-tech materials and are very flexible. They will not break no matter how hard you pull them.
Yu Xiaoye leaned over the side of the boat and looked down:
"Wow!!!"
"What's wrong?"
"Look! It's really big!"
Zhou Ziheng also leaned over to the side of the boat and looked down. He didn't see any fish, but he vaguely saw a huge shadow under the water.
Zhou Ziheng was not sure whether the shadow was a fish, but Yu Xiaoye was experienced and knew at a glance that it was a big fish.
And it was definitely the biggest one she had ever had since she had ocean space!
"Brother Heng, please pull it up quickly! It's really big!"
"Okay, I'll pull it now!"
Zhou Ziheng reeled in the fishing line with all his strength.
Finally, the dark shadows under the water gradually emerged, and their outlines became clearer and clearer.
"Oh, I see it! I see it!"
Zhou Ziheng looked down and saw that the fish suddenly jumped up and floated to the surface of the water. Its tail slapped the water, making a splash.
Zhou Ziheng was really shocked this time. He was so shocked that a swear word rolled out of his throat and reached his lips before being swallowed back.
Zhou Ziheng had never seen such a big fish in his life, so big that it seemed like he was seeing an alien creature.
I could never have imagined there would be such a big fish, but I actually saw it with my own eyes, and it was alive!
"Brother Heng, pull the fishing rod and circle around here to the quarterdeck where we were swimming just now, and drag the fish up there."
"good!"
Zhou Ziheng followed Yu Xiaoye's instructions, picked up the fishing rod on the side of the boat, and prepared to drag it to the rear deck of the yacht.
However, this big fish with tenacious vitality was unexpectedly out of control. Zhou Ziheng couldn't pull it up no matter what he did. Several times, the fishing rod in his hand was almost dragged into the sea by the fish.
Yu Xiaoye said anxiously:
"Or I can go down and chase the fish."
"No, don't go into the cold water. I'll go down and you pull it from above. Be careful not to get dragged in. This fish is very strong."
As he said that, Zhou Ziheng handed the fishing rod to Yu Xiaoye and jumped down himself.
With a splash, it landed next to the big fish. The big fish seemed to be frightened, and its huge body suddenly struggled and rolled over, throwing Zhou Ziheng out of the water.
Zhou Ziheng spread his arms and swam hard, and soon swam out of the water.
Yu Xiaoye took a lifebuoy from the side of the boat and threw it to Zhou Ziheng:
"Brother Heng, be careful with the lifebuoy."
Zhou Ziheng grabbed the lifebuoy and put it on, then approached the big fish.
Only when you look closer can you truly appreciate how huge this fish is, as big as a monster. I estimate it weighs at least 80 kilograms, almost as heavy as a pig!
"Xiao Ye, it's really big!" Zhou Ziheng shouted upwards.
"This is tuna. This fish is enough for us to eat for a month!"
The thought of releasing the fish flashed through Zhou Ziheng's mind, but he also knew that deep-sea fish like this would not be able to adapt to the pressure of shallow sea waters after coming to shallow sea waters, and would not survive even if released, so he decided to catch them.
Zhou Ziheng swam to the tuna again, grabbed a slippery blue fin, and began to push it towards the back of the yacht.
The two men cooperated with each other, one pulling with the fishing line from above and the other pushing in the water. After a few minutes, they successfully led the big fish to the back.
Then, Zhou Ziheng opened his arms, hugged the entire body of the fish, and pushed the eighty-pound fish onto the stern deck.
"Oh my God!" Zhou Ziheng exclaimed again as he looked at the huge fish lying on the deck. "I've never seen such a big fish!"
"Don't say you haven't seen one before. I've been here for two years and haven't seen one this big! Look, its fins are blue. It's a bluefin tuna. This kind of fish is very expensive. After a few decades, this fish can be sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Do you believe it?"
Zhou Ziheng looked stunned, he couldn't believe that a fish could be sold for hundreds of thousands. Just as he was about to speak, Yu Xiaoye vaguely heard some noise outside and said hurriedly:
"Come up quickly, Aunt Zhang is calling us to eat. We've been so busy catching fish that we've forgotten the time. It's already dark outside!"
Zhou Ziheng came out of the water. The two of them hurriedly dried their bodies and put on thick cotton coats. Yu Xiaoye held Zhou Ziheng's arm.
Zhou Ziheng only felt a flash before his eyes, and suddenly fell into darkness.
"What's going on?"
"Silly, we're back."
Yu Xiaoye let go of Zhou Ziheng and went to turn on the light in the dark. It was indeed their room.
Outside, Aunt Zhang was still calling them.
Yu Xiaoye agreed:
"Aunt Zhang, we'll be down right away!"
He turned to Zhou Ziheng and said:
"Snap a mirror and wipe your hair. It's wet."
Zhou Ziheng went to the mirror and saw that his head was wet, and suddenly smiled.
Yu Xiaoye knew what he was laughing at and took a dry towel to quickly wipe his hair.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled foolishly, but no one said anything.
After quickly fixing themselves and figuring out that there shouldn't be anything unusual, the two of them hurried downstairs.
Downstairs, Zhou Jingru and Zhuang Huaijian were already sitting at the dining table waiting for them.
The old couple didn’t mind too much that the young couple didn’t come down from upstairs even after calling them for a long time. Instead, they were quite happy. Maybe one day something unexpected would happen and they would be able to hold their grandson in their arms.
After dinner, the two rested in their bedroom that night.
Zhou Ziheng asked:
"Ono, why don't we go back to the cabin on the yacht and sleep?"
Yu Xiaoye closed his eyes, nestled in Zhou Ziheng's arms and said:
"I love sleeping here with you."
"Why?"
"Solid."
Zhou Ziheng raised the corner of his mouth and kissed Yu Xiaoye on the forehead:
"Then sleep soundly."
Yu Xiaoye was about to fall asleep when he suddenly opened his eyes again:
"By the way, do you know how much money I made?"
"How many?"
Yu Xiaoye stretched out four fingers from under the quilt and waved them in front of his eyes.
"four thousand?!"
"Yes, four thousand, plus the gifts and betrothal gifts we received when we got married, none of which I spent. I also got more than two thousand yuan from the black market in Mishan. I have more than ten thousand yuan in my hands now!" Yu Xiaoye said in a money-grubber tone.
"Why do you need so much money?"
"Flowers."
"Can you spend it all?"
"Look at what you're saying. How much money do I have that I can't spend? I'll buy a car and a house in the future, and I'll also start a business. There are plenty of places to spend money."
“——” Buy a car? Buy a house? Start a business?
Zhou Ziheng sighed silently. It seemed that the age difference between the two was not just twelve years, but another fifty years.
It's really amazing that this girl can accept such an antique from fifty years ago.
------
Yu Xiaoye's first year in Beijing was a complete success. He had a long vacation, made some money, and told Zhou Ziheng his secret. From then on, there was nothing to hide between them.
This holiday, I gained a lot.
A lot has happened in the past month.
Zhou Ziheng has gradually gotten used to and found his groove in the work at the Military Engineering College, and news about his appointment to the college has spread like wildfire, but his specific position has not been revealed.
