Silly Zhu's Moving: The Old Neighbor's Nightmare

Chapter 197 Big Fish

A few days passed in a flash.

Every day after school, Sha Zhu would collect rainwater at the school gate and take Yan Bugui to various corners of Shichahai to fish.

It only took a few days for Yu Shui to go from being impatient and excited at the beginning to gradually developing an interest in fishing.

Now, like his brother Yan Bugui, he can calm down and wait for the fish to take the bait.

Even if I only caught two or three small fish that day, I wasn't as resistant anymore.

However, Sha Zhu believes that she still needs to continue training. Only by completely calming down can she get rid of the crazy girl's habits.

Today, after Sha Zhu and the other two arrived at the fishing spot, they taught Yu Shui some simple fishing techniques, and the three of them fished quietly. Occasionally, they would chat with Yan Lao Kou for a few words.

Almost an hour had passed, and none of the three had gained anything. Even Yan Laokou was starting to get impatient.

Not long after his youngest son was born, he had to run around every day trying to find milk powder. Not only was the price of milk powder expensive, but it was also often out of stock.

Even if he had the goods, Sha Zhu guessed that Yan Laokou wouldn't be willing to spend the money.

Occasionally, when I'm really desperate, I'll buy a pig's trotter and feel bad about it for a long time.

Even pig's trotters are hard to find now, so they've been focusing on fishing every day. But today, an hour has passed and none of the three of them have caught anything.

Normally, a fishing trip for three people lasts about an hour and a half. We usually had a good catch in the past few days, but I don't know why we didn't catch anything today.

Raindrops, with a quick glint in their eyes, said, "Brother, why don't you sprinkle some more fish food? Look, even Teacher Yan can't sit still anymore."

The main thing is that Sha Zhu didn't cheat today. Looking at the somewhat agitated Yan Lao Kou and the amused Yu Shui beside him, Sha Zhu thought for a moment...

He said, "Okay, I'll bait another spot. If I still can't catch anything, I'll head home."

Upon hearing this, Yu Shui and Yan Bugui hurriedly reeled in their fishing rods and checked their condition. They knew that Sha Zhu was about to unleash his ultimate move.

Sha Zhu's homemade mixed animal and plant feed is highly attractive to fish.

Just a tiny bit sprinkled on top will quickly attract fish of all sizes from the vicinity.

It held a fatal attraction for Yan Bugui, the fishing enthusiast, but no matter how hard Yan Laokou tried, he couldn't get the secret recipe out of Sha Zhu.

It can be used to bait fish, but Shazhu doesn't use it often. The two of them say it's not easy to make.

Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to train Yushui. Today we discovered that Yushui can focus on fishing, but so far we've caught nothing. So we're throwing some fish food to cheer them both up.

Not long after the bait was cast, large and small fish visibly swam over from a distance. After casting their lines, Yu Shui and Yan Bugui stared intently at the lake surface in front of them.

In no time, the fishing rod in Yu Shui's hand started moving, and the makeshift float that Sha Zhu had made suddenly sank into the water, shaking violently.

Rainwater remained calm, stood up, and, based on her previous experience, slowly began to play the fish.

With her two little hands gripping the fishing rod tightly, her excited little face flushed, she exclaimed, "Fish, brother, it's a big fish!"

Yan Bugui looked at Yu Shui with envy. In just a few days, he had learned to fish. When luck comes, you can't stop it.

Just as he was about to offer a few words of advice, his own fishing rod started moving. Forgetting about passing on his experience, he opened his mouth wide and laughed happily, "Big fish! This is a big fish too!"

Sha Zhu didn't put any fish on their hooks today, and seeing the other two reeling in their fish, he was a little annoyed.

Do you think all you can do is cheat? You can't even catch a big fish with your own skills.

That's right, there were big fish caught up ahead, but they were caught using cheating.

It seems that in terms of real ability, he really can't compare to Yan Laokou.

At the very least, without cheating, Yan Laokou can catch a big fish every now and then.

Sha Zhu knows his own abilities, but for the sake of his so-called face, he always likes to put fish on his hooks so that Yan Laokou will envy him.

My hook is right in the center of the bait, but the fish just won't bite.

The two people next to them happily landed their fish, rebaited them, and cast them into areas with more fish, but their own side still didn't catch anything.

I'm not going to give up today. Do you think there's no chance at all without cheating?

But fate wasn't on Sha Zhu's side. By the time they left, Yu Shui had caught three big fish, and Yan Lao Kou had caught two big fish and one smaller one.

Unfortunately, Sha Zhu didn't catch a single fish. As soon as the three of them left, their spot was taken by people nearby, and the fish that had gathered there disappeared.

On the way back, Sha Zhu was clearly no longer as fast as his Wind and Fire Wheels, and he rode his bicycle slowly back with the two of them on the back.

Sha Zhu didn't catch any fish today, and Yu Shui and Yan Bugui watched him eat. They even had the leisure to laugh at Sha Zhu.

"Brother, you're so clumsy. So many fish are swimming in front of you, and you can't catch a single one."

Despite the slow speed of the bicycle, his older brother was unhappy, and Yu Shui, sitting in front, was swaying back and forth.

"Yeah, Zhu Zi, why aren't you showing off today? Weren't you always trying to annoy your Uncle Yan the other day? Hahaha."

Yan Bugui finally vented his anger; that silly Zhu always liked to annoy him.

Thinking back to how he hadn't caught any fish the other day, and how silly Zhu had acted, he couldn't help but burst into laughter now that he'd finally gotten his revenge.

Seeing that Sha Zhu was in a bad mood and was riding his bicycle slowly, Yan Bugui said to Yu Shui, who was sitting in front of him, "Yu Shui, how about Uncle Yan trades this silver carp for your crucian carp?"

"No way. If you want to trade, you have to trade me the biggest blackfish. My brother told me that blackfish is the most nutritious. Don't take advantage of my young age."

"Black carp has no nutritional value. Silver carp is good for calcium and helps with studies. This silver carp is quite big, about the same size as your crucian carp," Old Yan said eloquently.

Rainwater wasn't buying it. It knew Yan Bugui's personality inside and out. "I just like big black fish."

Yan Bugui's good mood was instantly shattered by the rain. This big black fish was the largest of the six.

It's clear they're a little reluctant. It seems like they'd be at a huge disadvantage if they gave it to Xiaoyushui, but not giving it to her isn't an option either.

"Teacher Yan, why don't you go back and use blackfish soup to promote lactation? Blackfish is pretty much the same anyway," Sha Zhu interjected.

"Blackfish it is, rainwater it is, Uncle Yan will trade with you," Yan Bugui said through gritted teeth from the back.

Not long after, the three returned home. Sha Zhu took the water bucket off the bicycle, and immediately a group of people surrounded the bucket.

The rain, in its excited boasting, drew everyone from the alleyway entrance into their homes.

Yu Shui and Yan Lao Kou became the envy of everyone; the two of them had a great harvest today.

Especially Yan Laokou, whose happiness amidst everyone's compliments was almost as great as Yushui's.

You said that rainwater is like a child, so there's nothing wrong with it being happy.

After hearing everyone's praise, Yan Laokou almost forgot who he was.
