Let's go back to 2008, starting with a recreational fishing park.

When Jiang Xiaobo and the other person returned, Jiang Xia asked:

"How is it? They don't have any complaints, right?"

Jiang Xiaobo shook his head. "Don't worry, brother. You asked me to buy bread and distribute it to them before. Most of them didn't complain, but a few said they were starving."

"Sigh." Jiang Xia sighed. "Let's eat first."

"Why are you sighing? It's been like this since the beginning!" Jiang Jianguo said, separating a disposable chopstick from the table and sitting down in the main seat.

"Mmm." Jiang Xia nodded. He couldn't care less about anything else at the moment, and started eating like crazy with his chopsticks.

He only ate half of his breakfast and was busy all morning, so he must be starving.

Wang Guifen said to him, "Eat slowly, what's the rush!"

Then he invited Jiang Xiaobo and the two girls to have dinner.

This afternoon, I met my nephew's girlfriend, Yang Xiaoyue, and she adored him.

While boiling water, she would often go over and chat with people.

After a busy morning, not only Jiangxia, but everyone in the group was hungry.

Since they didn't know what else was going to happen in the afternoon, none of the men drank alcohol.

The meal was finished in half an hour.

After the meal, Jiang Xia didn't smoke, but instead lay down on the sofa in the office and dozed off for a while.

He doesn't actually smoke that much, but today at noon he kept getting cigarettes from this person and that person, so he smoked a bit too much.

After waking up, Jiang Xia stretched and put on a sun hat before leaving the office.

It was just past two o'clock, the hottest time of day.

As soon as he stepped outside, he felt a wave of heat hit him.

Looking up at the sun hanging overhead, I was immediately blinded by its glare, and the formerly hardened cement floor in front of the office seemed to be steaming hot.

He glanced in the direction of the reservoir and then spoke to Wang Guifen, who was boiling water not far away:

"Mom, why don't you buy more mung beans tomorrow and just make mung bean soup?"

Although there were sunshades at the fishing spots, Jiangxia was still worried that some anglers might suffer from heatstroke in this kind of weather.

"Okay, I'll go buy it first thing tomorrow morning," Wang Guifen agreed without objection.

Seeing how busy her fishing spot was, she thought her son was really amazing.

Even Jiang Jianguo, who had always held the reins of the family, was impressed by the scene before him and realized that his son was no ordinary man.

This has led to a situation where, in this household, whatever Jiang Xia says goes.

Just after Jiang Xia finished speaking with his mother, he heard a loud commotion coming from the reservoir.

He didn't care about the heat and hurried towards the reservoir.

As he got closer, he discovered a group of fishermen standing behind one of the fishermen, giving him chaotic instructions.

Jiang Xia leaned closer and took a look. He remembered the angler in front of him; he was the first customer at the fishing spot, and his name seemed to be Li Hao.

I knew his name because his QQ name was Li Hao. These kinds of online names are usually his real names.

Jiang Xia asked a random fisherman and found out why so many people were surrounding Li Hao.

The incident began when Li Hao was leisurely fishing.

Then, the float went under as usual, and at first he was quite happy, knowing that he had caught another fish.

But when he instinctively tried to lift the bar, he realized something was wrong; he couldn't lift it at all.

Before he could react, he felt a tremendous force coming from the fishing rod in his hand.

His heart skipped a beat: "Holy crap, what kind of thing did I catch?!"

When he came to his senses, he realized that he was about to lose his grip on the fishing rod.

Seeing that something was wrong, he quickly called out to the anglers at the next fishing spot.

The fisherman next door hadn't noticed anything at first, but when he heard Li Hao's shout, he turned around and saw that the other man's fishing rod was bent at an exaggerated 90 degrees, and he was almost being dragged into the water by the fish.

Upon seeing this, he froze on the spot: "Holy crap, what did he catch?!"

Then he quickly went over and hugged Li Hao.

Before long, many anglers noticed what was happening and stopped fishing to come and watch the spectacle.

At this moment, all that could be heard around Li Hao were exclamations and commands.

"Don't rush, let it roam freely, let it roam freely."

"Steady your steps, don't exert force at the same time as it."

"Hold the pole high, bend it sharply!"

"Do you know the figure-eight fish-playing method? If you can't, I'll help you pull it up!"

They had already guessed that what Li Hao had caught was the 20-jin (10 catties) bighead carp that Jiangxia had advertised, and now they were all brainstorming ideas on how to bring the big guy out of the water.

Jiang Xia saw this scene but didn't say anything. He just stood by with his hands behind his back, watching the excitement.

Although he was the boss, he also hoped that Li Hao could catch a fish; he bought the big fish specifically for them to catch.

On the first day of opening, someone caught a big grass carp weighing over 20 kilograms. As long as the anglers talk about it, it's more effective than any advertisement.

By this time, more than ten minutes had passed since the big fish took the bait, and Li Hao had gradually found his rhythm from the initial chaos.

He would sometimes brace himself against the ground with his legs and exert force with his palms, and other times he would wander around following the big blue fish in the water.

This scene made the fishermen nearby extremely envious.

Another ten minutes or so passed, and finally, Li Hao felt that the fish in the water had run out of energy.

He began to slowly drag the large object in the water toward the shore.

At this point, most people had seen the fish in its entirety, and it was indeed a behemoth.

As the fish approached the shore, Li Hao breathed a sigh of relief. He suppressed his excitement and waited for the big fish to come ashore.

But at this moment, the big blue carp in the water, which seemed to have run out of strength, suddenly exerted its strength.

Before Li Hao could react, he saw the big fish break free of the fishing line and swim back into the deep water.

Li Hao, who was about to call for help to scoop the fish, froze on the spot.

"Ugh."

"What's going on? Wasn't it almost caught?"

"How did it get away?"

The surrounding fishermen were all stunned by what they saw.

After realizing what had happened, the anglers sighed. Even if they didn't catch it themselves, it was still satisfying to see someone else catch it.

This is similar to how fishing bloggers became popular in later generations.

Li Hao, standing in the crowd, still couldn't believe that the big fish he was about to catch had gotten away.

He looked at the fishing rod in his hand, then at the now calm water, and finally understood what had happened.

"Depend on!"

Li Hao let out a furious roar of resentment, threw the fishing rod on the ground, and then showed a tearful expression in front of everyone.

He's even figured out how to brag to his wife!

Upon seeing this, the fishermen rushed over to comfort him.

"Brother, don't be discouraged. You've had a blast experiencing this."

"Brother, we didn't catch anything this time, but we'll learn from this experience and catch something next time."

"Yeah, bro, this Jiang's fishing park isn't just open today. If you come, you'll always be able to catch something again!"

In a daze, Li Hao didn't know which sentence he heard, but he just muttered blankly, "Yes, the fishing spot is still there, I'll come again tomorrow..."
