Chapter 1733 - 949: High-Spirited
By the river.
Jiang Ning and the group left the small pond. Before leaving, Chen Siyu bid farewell to Xu Wenyi.
Xu Wenyi watched their backs, unable to resist saying, "They didn’t even use a fishing rod."
Yin Yu pondered, "They don’t look like the type who fish."
Xu Wenyi: "They’re so impressive."
Zhuang Jianhui, who had been frowning all along, suddenly spoke up: "Stop talking, you’re scaring away my fish."
Lin Zida: "Ahem."
Xu Wenyi wanted to roll his eyes, what does it have to do with him?
Yin Yu politely apologized: "Sorry."
Gong Jin consoled timely: "You’re not wrong, Jianhui is."
Zhuang Jianhui looked frustrated. How to describe it? The pond’s fish were like the goddess he longed for but couldn’t pursue; turning around, he found the goddess with a dog collar.
Yin Yu kept apologizing: "It’s my fault. If I hadn’t disturbed you, you would have caught fish for sure."
She was clearly sincere, innocent, and pure, yet why did her words feel uncomfortable?
As if containing a hint of contempt.
Zhuang Jianhui felt secretly annoyed and promised gruffly, "Once I catch fish today, I’ll give them to Boss Yang for cooking, and we’ll have a fish feast at noon."
Yin Yu clapped her hands, smiling: "Great, hope we can eat the fish you catch at noon."
Zhuang Jianhui’s tone was displeased, as he glanced at Yin Yu: "You?"
Wang Yong, seeing this, knew Zhuang Jianhui was proud and intolerant of irritation, quickly said: "Brother Zhuang, Brother Zhuang."
Lin Zida also chimed in: "Jianhui, take it easy!"
Meanwhile, he gave Yin Yu another glance, the surname seemed familiar, recently a provincial inspection team came, and someone seemed to be surnamed Yin ...
Gong Jin advised: "Alright, why are you so angry, Ah Hui?"
Yin Yu thought for a moment, smiled: "Because he plans to barbecue fish for us at noon, but hasn’t caught any yet, maybe he’s anxious."
Yin Yu: "You really consider others often, you’re a nice person."
She casually tucked her hair behind her ear, looking pure yet poised.
Zhuang Jianhui almost spat blood.
’Who invited her to the river dam? Oh, seems she met Wang Yong and came on her own...’
Zhuang Jianhui managed his emotions well, soon calmed down and said: "Fishing and catching fish are different."
Yin Yu: "Oh, really."
She lingered beside the wild pond, gazing at the bottomless water: "Then you can also go down to catch fish."
Zhuang Jianhui retorted: "Do you think I wouldn’t dare?"
Zhuang Jianhui got agitated, released his fishing rod, took a stride forward.
Lin Zida stopped him: "Wait, Wang Yong find something to measure the water depth, then we’ll see."
Wang Yong listened, looked around, prepared to find a pole.
At that moment, Gong Jin reeled in his fishing line, said softly: "I’ll do it."
Lin Zida was puzzled: "You plan to use a retractable fishing rod to measure?"
Gong Jin just shook his head, smiling calmly. Confidently, he took a spherical object from his kit, attaching it to the hook.
Gently tossing it out, he pulled the rod back, the line instantly tautened.
The hook plunged into the water.
Gong Jin counted: "1, 2, 3...7."
When he reached 7, the taut line slackened.
He said: "This ball descends at 0.3 meters per second, took 7 seconds, so the water depth should be just over two meters."
Lin Zida was amazed: "Awesome, Brother Jin!"
The nearby Fishing Men turned around, praising him as a true wild fishing enthusiast.
The praise exhilarated Gong Jin’s confidence.
Yin Yu’s clear gaze came over: "Then you must be very skilled at fishing too."
At this moment, Yin Yu’s value in Gong Jin’s eyes dropped by 1.
With over two meters of water depth, if Zhuang Jianhui went in, forget netting fish, he couldn’t even stand.
Zhuang Jianhui’s expression shifted.
Lin Zida couldn’t bear seeing his good brother’s embarrassment, decided: "Drain the water, we’ll dry it out to catch fish!"
The plan excited Zhuang Jianhui, netting fish is thrilling!
"But this wild pond has a small canal connecting to the Hui River..." Zhuang Jianhui hesitated.
Lin Zida: "Seal it! We’ll find burlap sacks, fill them with sand or soil, directly block the canal!"
Alright, all risks resolved.
Zhuang Jianhui wrapped an arm around Lin Zida’s shoulder, truly touched: "Good brother!"
Gong Jin watched, feeling a bit emotional, growing up in circles playing around, yet even with good friends, none reached brotherly levels.
Truly envious now, this kind of friendship many never receive in a lifetime.
The youngsters were swift in action, Lin Zida suggested: "I remember Boss Yang’s place has a water pump, quite powerful, handles dozens of tons per hour."
They abandoned fishing, headed resolutely to rural tourism, brightening from their previous gloom.
Xu Wenyi: "Should I go too?"
Wang Yong: "You stay here, if anyone comes fishing, tell them it’s getting drained soon."
...
"Tongtong, still planning to take photos and post on your page?" Chen Siyu asked.
Xue Yuantong: "I’m just taking photos for fun."
Chen Siyu took out her phone: "It’s just one fish, no need to show off, I don’t like posting on pages and social media."
Compared, Xue Yuantong felt her mindset lessened... leading to slight introspection on her vanity.
Then she saw Chen Siyu snap continuously, posting in family circles, sister groups, class groups, game groups, all at once.
Xue Yuantong was dumbfounded.
Chen Siyu set aside her phone, discreetly posted in hidden resource groups, satisfied she put her phone away.
