"Have you taken the bait?" Xiaoxue suddenly became energetic.

"It's hooked! What a good guy, it seems to be a big one!" Jin Er stood up from the fishing chair and stared at the fish float with all his attention.

When novice fishing, they often instinctively pull back when the fish bites the hook, but this often leads to the fish to run away. If it is a big fish, they will rise up and resist. The insufficient force of the grab rod may even cause the fish to lose its hand.

Although Jin Er is not a professional angler, he is at least familiar with it. The rod in his hand suddenly sinks. He instinctively raises the rod and stabs the fish, causing the hook to penetrate the fish's mouth and fixes it. Since you need to use a thin line and hook to catch crucian carp, if the crucian carp struggles violently, it may break the fish's line. At this time, you have to pull the fish and constantly consume the fish's physical strength in the tug-of-war.

He held the fishing rod tightly, his eyes tracking the movement of the fishing line tightly, feeling the force coming from his hands, sometimes retracting and sometimes releasing the line, always firmly controlling the fish's resistance.

When Xiaoxue saw the fishing process for the first time, she opened her mouth half open in surprise, clenched her fists, and tried hard for Jin Er.

In winter, the physical strength of the crucian carp is reduced, and its resistance is not as intense as the other three seasons. Jin Er did not walk around the fish for too long, and felt that the fish's resistance was flattened, so he carefully closed the line and then started the pole.

Hurry!

A huge crucian carp broke out of the water. It seemed to have a premonition that it was about to turn into cat shit. After leaving the water surface, it struggled suddenly violently, constantly shaking its tail, and was full of water spots everywhere.

"Xiaoxue! Help me get the copy net!" Jin Er shouted.

Xiaoxue was stunned and hurriedly picked up the copy net, wanting to pick up the big crucian carp that was struggling constantly.

However, she was panicked and her hands were trembling. She cooperated with Jin Er at all without any tacit understanding. Jin Er threw the rod eastward, and she just went westward to pick her up. When Jin Er shook the rod again, she reached the net eastward again, and she stomped her feet in an anxious manner. The two of them shouted.

The crucian carp raised all its strength and finally broke free from the fish hook. It fell to the ground with a bang, and was about one meter by the lake. It twisted its body and threw its tail into a crackling sound. Every time it struggled, it was closer to the lake and could jump back into the lake at any time.

Xiaoxue threw away the net, Jin Er threw away the fishing rod, and the two bent down to catch it together, but its fish body was too slippery and they broke free from their hands repeatedly.

It was about to fail, and a white shadow broke out from the slant. He raised his claw and pulled the fish aside. He then raised his claws and pressed it firmly on the ground. It would be useless if he struggled.

The two of them looked closely and found that the person who came was Snowball.

"Ah! Snowball is great!" Xiaoxue rubbed Snowball's head happily, "I reward you with an extra can of canned fish today!"

"Meow!" Snowball narrowed his eyes comfortably and enjoyed his master's praise.

Jin Er looked at the snowball, then looked up at his own dog rolling in the mud, looking at each other speechlessly, only tears flowing thousands of times.

The crucian carp gradually stopped struggling, and the snowball had no intention of eating it, so it removed its claws. Jin Er hooked the hook with a portable meter, "Wow! It's so heavy, more than 9 liang, it's the heaviest crucian carp I've ever caught!"

Xiaoxue stared at him with eyes.

Jin Er saw through her thoughts, pulled out the fish hook, picked up a slender dead branch from the ground, passed through the hole in the fish's mouth, and handed it to Xiaoxue with a crucian carp, "Give it, take it, this one for the time being, but I will fish again, just treat it as... the New Year red envelope I gave."

"Thank you, Uncle Jin!" Xiaoxue took it happily.

Jin Er had also given Xiaoxue a New Year red envelope before, but he had never seen her so happy. Moreover, he was very happy himself. Sure enough, things obtained through labor and wisdom are more valuable than simply spending money.

Xiaoxue hesitated for a moment, whether to go home and send snowball home first, or take snowball directly to the pet store, she soon decided to choose the latter, because she didn't know whether she could come out after returning home.

"Uncle Jin, I'll go out... If my mother comes here, help me cover..." she begged.

"Okay..." Jin Er grinned. He didn't want to get involved in this matter, but he couldn't bear to refuse Xiaoxue, so he had to bite the bullet and agree.

He used a plastic bucket to collect half a bucket of water, "Come on, the fish are still alive, put it in the bucket, and it will be not fresh if you just carry it over."

The plastic bucket is very small, and even if it is filled with water, it will not sink. At most, only one fish can be placed inside. Anyway, even if he catches fish, he will put it back into the lake.

Xiaoxue put the fish in and covered the lid. The fish was half dead in the bucket, occasionally shaking its tail.

She greeted Snowball, walked out of the villa area by man and cat, and Jin Er sat back on the fishing chair, ready to do a big fight. Although the atmosphere of empty hook fishing is good, he is very satisfied with the occasional practical battle...

As for how to deal with Mrs. Jiang’s blame...this is it...

After Xiaoxue left the villa area, she called a taxi and headed straight to the pet store with snowballs.

There were very few cars on the road and they arrived at their destination soon.

As soon as she entered the door, she found that today's pet store was much deserted than usual. The two live treasures were not there, and the store seemed a little empty and had no customers. After all, it was the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Zhang Zi'an turned his back to the door, put one hand on his hips, raised his other hand, pointed to a gray-white parrot on the top of the shelf and scolded: "I'm talking about borrowing arrows from a straw boat, what does it mean to cheat a boat and borrow arrows from a boat?"

"Gaga!" Richard turned his black eyes maliciously, "It was my uncle who said it was wrong. You idiot are already cheap enough, you don't need to borrow it anymore!"

Zhang Zi'an: "..."

"Gaga! Put down your slippers and talk well!" Richard shrank his neck.

Although there were two people missing, the pet shop was still in chaos since the first day of the Lunar New Year.

"Hello! Mr. Store Manager, Happy New Year! Xiaoyun, Happy New Year!"

Zhang Zian turned around and found Xiaoxue standing at the door with a smile on her face, with a snow-white Persian cat squatting behind her.

Lu Yiyun looked away from the digital tablet and saw that it was Xiaoxue. He said in surprise: "Xiaoxue! Happy New Year! Are you here to live today?"

"Happy New Year." Zhang Zian responded.

Xiaoxue's appearance is often associated with live broadcasts. He thought Xiaoxue was broadcasting live, and felt that holding slippers in his hand was a bit indecent, so he quickly threw them away.

"Why are you here today? Don't you need to accompany your family? Or... you want to broadcast live?" He had the same question as Lu Yiyun.

"Well... that's not." Xiaoxue shook her head, "I didn't plan to broadcast live today. I came here with a temporary idea. By the way, didn't your store's official account say that you need fresh crucian carp? How about it, have you found it?"

"Not yet." Zhang Zi'an sighed regretfully, "There was once a fresh crucian carp in front of me, but I didn't cherish it. I regretted it when I lost it. The most painful thing in the world is... "

"That's it..." Xiaoxue raised the plastic bucket, "How about I bring a red envelope for the New Year? I wish you all surplus every year!"
