Chapter 24: CHAPTER 18
Su Han sat down next to old He.
Old Ding looked at them from the side, 'It's that simple to get a fishing rod from old He? Don't talk about buying it, just ask about renting?' Thinking of this, he felt regretful, and if he knew, he would've rented it himself.
"Young lady, fishing is not such a simple thing." Old He lectured from the side, he also talked about his own fishing experience, "I'm telling you; these fish are very cunning! They…"
Less than a minute of casting the fishing rod, the water rippled. Su Han hurriedly retracted the fishing line and saw a large grass carp hanging on the hook.
Su Han unhooked the grass carp and threw it into the iron bucket beside her. Turning her head, with an expression that looked particularly innocent, she asked, "Sorry, what did you say? I didn't hear it clearly just now."
Old He, "…I didn't say anything, you continue."
It was extraordinary, Old He had been fishing at this place for three days, don't talk about catching a big grass carp, he didn't even see a shadow of fish. But after Su Han sat there, she caught one fish after another and caught four fish in just half an hour.
Old He was in a mixed mood. 'If he says he's happy, of course he is. He can bring home at least two fish today. But he was also upset. Just how did this person do it? Obviously, it's the same fishing rod, the same location!'
*****
After watching Su Han fish for a long time, old He couldn't bear it anymore and spoke out, "Uh… can we change positions?"
It's good to get half of the girl caught fish, but it's even better if he can catch those himself.
"Okay." Su Han willingly changed her position.
Then old He sadly discovered that there were countless fish in his original position, and the speed of those fish biting the bait was even faster than before!
Su Han asked, "Do you want to change the fishing rod?"
Old He: "…"
'He wants to change, but he's too embarrassed to say yes.'
Thinking of his granddaughter that was going hungry at home, he sighed and shoved the other fishing rod into Su Han's hand, "You fish, I won't interrupt you anymore."
After speaking, he didn't bother to continue sitting. He walked to the side and started dividing the fish.
Su Han took a glance and found that old He has a kind heart. The plump fish remained in her bucket, and the thinner ones were taken away.
*****
The breeze was gentle. Su Han placed two fishing rods in front of her, occasionally swinging the rods back and forth, feeling very pleasant.
Others sitting near her also caught some fish occasionally, but they no longer noisily announce it – the guy who had caught almost ten fish sat beside them with a calm expression. Nothing was exciting about catching one fish.
After 4:30 pm, the residents heard that someone had caught a lot of fish in the park and rushed over to buy them after hearing the news.
"I want a grass carp; can I exchange it with 4 packs of instant noodles?"
"I need a crucian carp to cook some fish soup, how about exchanging it with three catties of rice?"
"I also want a crucian carp, I'll use two catties of tofu to exchange, how is it?"
Su Han glanced at her iron bucket and found five fish in it, so she asked old He to help her exchange her portion with instant noodles.
Old He secretly whispered to her, "Ignore these people. Let me tell you, you'll be able to get more stuff if you exchange these fish at the black market!"
Su Han also lowered her voice, "Do you think you can go back home safely holding five or six fishes?"
Old He stopped talking. He had heard from his friend that someone caught a fish after so much effort the other day but was robbed on the way home. Fortunately, he was not harmed. If he accidentally fell or got injured, he wouldn't be able to work for at least a week.
It's a difficult world to live in nowadays. Which family would not starve to death if the one providing for them had to lie in bed for a week? Recalling this, he also decided to exchange his fish.
*****
He overlooked the situation just now. Since he always went home with an empty bucket every day, he never thought about these happy burdens before.
Su Han continued to fish next to him, and old He continued to converse with people at the side like a social flower –
"No way, two catties of tofu's not enough, you add more."
"Three catties of rice is too little; I'll exchange it with four catties. What? You don't have four catties of rice at home? Stop saying fart! How can you be poor if you are willing to eat crucian carp!"
"You have shower gel? Great, I'll exchange, here take two fishes with you!"
Old He doesn't like to socialize with people. But when he thought of getting some more food to take home for his granddaughter, he felt that he couldn't stop talking! His body is filled with endless energy!
As for Su Han's five fishes, he helped her exchange them for 12 packs of instant noodles and 4 bars of soap.
