Ye Zhiqiu handed over five cents, thanked him, and happily left the post office. But he had nothing else to do. Unsure when Chen Yimin would call, he decided to stroll over to the Black Mountain Reservoir and go fishing.
When he arrived at the reservoir, Ye Zhiqiu, carrying a simple fishing rod, met the old man at the same place as last time.
He laughed and shouted, "Haha, old man! Not this morning?"
The old man turned around and saw Ye Zhiqiu. He scolded him with a smile, "You little bastard, why are you yelling so loudly? You scared the fish I caught and made them jump back!"
Ye Zhiqiu leaned over to take a look and saw that the bucket was empty. He said with disdain, "Look at you. The two times I saw you, even a cat disdained a small white fish without meat. Why are your fishing skills so poor?"
After saying that, he handed him a cigarette and lit it with a match, blocking him so much that he didn't even have a chance to speak or refute.
It wasn't until he took a puff of his cigarette that he came to his senses. He immediately cursed and laughed, "You've really been possessed by a demon! Where did you learn this trick, you little rascal? It's so smooth and flowing that I don't even have time to say anything!"
Ye Zhiqiu said proudly, "Everyone has their own skills! Come on, I've already given you a cigarette, can't you be a little soft-spoken? Give me the earthworm, and I'll show you what a master fisherman is!"
The old man rolled his eyes at him, then handed the bucket over. Ye Zhiqiu picked up a worm, put it on the hook, and threw it out directly.
When Ye Zhiqiu stepped on the wooden stick, the old man asked curiously, "Why are you here? Don't you have to go to work and earn work points? How are you going to eat like this?"
Because after the last reconciliation, the two had a chat, and the old man knew that Ye Zhiqiu was a farmer, so he asked this question.
Ye Zhiqiu said proudly, "What do I eat? Of course I eat the food provided by the government! Don't underestimate me, old man. I'm going to work in the city at the end of the month. By then, it will be difficult for you to run into me!"
The old man was a little surprised, but he was even more curious, so he asked, "Tell me what's going on. Where do you go to work?"
"Hey, being a beer buyer is nothing. This opportunity is all thanks to my hard work and ambition."
Ye Zhiqiu's words stunned the old man. He blurted out, "Oh! So you are the bastard who sent the rabbit..."
Ye Zhiqiu was stunned by this. He looked at the old man in confusion and couldn't help asking, "Old man, have you checked my information? Are you some high-ranking official? Then why don't you have any guards?"
The old man said with a helpless smile: "I am a shitty official! Don't you know my last name is Chen? Oh, I didn't tell you my name last time..."
Last name Chen? Ye Zhiqiu was dumbfounded. Could this old man be the old man from Chen Yimin's family? ! ! !
Before Ye Zhiqiu could ask, the old man proudly introduced himself: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Chen Renfu, and I'm Chen Yimin's father!"
Chen Yimin’s father…Yimin’s father…his father…
Chen Renfu's words, like an echo, kept reverberating in Ye Zhiqiu's mind, leaving him stunned.
"Hey, you little brat! If you don't try to please me quickly, I'll have my son make things difficult for you!"
Ye Zhiqiu came back to his senses and quickly changed his expression. With a flattering smile, he threw the wooden stick tied with the fishing line into the room, then ran over to massage Chen Renfu's shoulders and back.
"Oh my, you are still my uncle. I call your son uncle! It's like a flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple. Family members don't recognize each other anymore! From now on, you are my real uncle!"
I have to say, although Ye Zhiqiu talks a lot of greasy words, he is still young!
So Chen Renfu did not feel disgusted, but said proudly: "Now you know who is the boss, and who is the big and small king in the future, right? Remember this, I caught the big catfish by myself last time!
If you, a stinky boy, betray me, I'll have Chen Yimin make things difficult for you! Got it? Use a little more force..."
Ye Zhiqiu obediently increased his strength. He said with a smile, "Uncle, what are you talking about? I saw you fishing for half an hour, and I held the fishing rod for you, and you caught the fish yourself!"
Ye Zhiqiu's words made Chen Renfu even more satisfied. He controlled him for a while before letting him go back to continue fishing.
"Sir, why don't you live in the city?"
Ye Zhiqiu asked what he was curious about. After all, Chen Yimin was a factory director and it was impossible for him to not be able to support this old man, so he felt very strange.
Chen Renfu replied gloomily, "What do you know? I'm old, and I love fishing, but there are only a few places to fish in the city. The problem is that there are too many people fishing every day. If I can't find a good spot, I can't catch any fish. It's not fun at all..."
Ye Zhiqiu finally understood. Uncle Chen was a typical novice angler, a complete novice who loved to play around! When he didn't catch fish, he blamed the lack of sun, the soft soil, the small earthworms, and the fish for not biting...
Although it was against his will, Ye Zhiqiu still agreed, "That's right, that's right! With so many people here, how could the fish possibly come over? It's so hot, there are basically no fish willing to eat..."
Before Ye Zhiqiu could finish his words, he felt a force beneath his feet, pulling at the wooden stick he was standing on. Coming to his senses, he quickly grabbed the stick. The force in his hand and the sound of the fishing line cutting through the water proved that he had indeed caught a fish!
Not only was Ye Zhiqiu dumbfounded, but even Chen Renfu started to doubt his life! He had been fishing here for hours, but no fish had taken the bait, and this brat had only been here for less than half an hour and already caught a fish...
Strange as it was, the fish was finally pulled up after being sluggish for ten minutes. This time, Chen Renfu went down to help get the fish, a carp weighing a pound and a half, perfect for braising.
Chen Renfu looked at the fish in his hand. He felt that he must be unlucky. It might also be that this location was unlucky for him. He had to change the place to fish tomorrow!
When he returned to the shore with the fish, he said angrily, "You little bastard, you didn't even take a bucket. It's so hot, aren't you afraid that the fish you caught might die and stink?"
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and did not answer. Instead, he picked up Chen Renfu's wooden bucket and quickly went down to fetch half a bucket of water.
He placed the bucket on the ground and said with a smile, "Uncle, put the carp you worked so hard to catch in the bucket. If the fish is dead when you take it back, people will suspect you bought the fish and pretended you caught it!"
Chen Renfu was stunned for a moment, then put the fish in the bucket. He smiled and asked, "This carp is so big, and you just gave it to me like this? Earning money is not easy, don't you feel bad?"
Ye Zhiqiu's face was serious. He replied righteously, "Uncle Chen, why should I feel bad about the fish you caught? I have fish at home, and I don't want the fish you worked so hard to catch. Take your fish away!"
Chen Renfu reached out and nodded at Ye Zhiqiu, unable to help but say with amusement, "Little rascal! No wonder you were able to trick my son into giving you the work quota I originally wanted to give to the family!"
Ye Zhiqiu didn't feel ashamed. What was wrong with being a little flattering to such an elder?
Who knows, his mother's job might even fall on Chen Yimin's head! So he didn't think there was anything inappropriate. One can't be too upright!
