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

The next morning, Jiang Xia opened his eyes groggily.

It was hot in the summer, and the small fan by the bed was blowing loudly. Jiang Xia unplugged the fan, lifted the small blanket covering her stomach, and slowly got out of bed in her flip-flops.

When they arrived in the courtyard, Wang Guifen had already prepared breakfast as usual.

Today's breakfast was tomato and egg noodles. The tomatoes were grown in our own garden, and the eggs were from our own chickens. Although the noodles were store-bought, they still tasted very good.

After dinner, Jiang Xiaobo, who had made an appointment with us at yesterday's gathering, also came over.

After greeting the other person, Jiang Xia invited him to get in the van and follow her to the reservoir.

I bought quite a few things yesterday, mostly sun umbrellas and life rings.

Sun umbrellas are essential because it's summer now, and not only is it hot, but the rainy season is also coming soon.

Needless to say, life rings are a must; to prevent accidents, you have to prepare them no matter how much it costs.

Jiangxia bought more than two hundred of each of these two items. In addition to one for each fishing platform as standard, he also kept some spares.

Soon, the two arrived at the reservoir. Jiang Xia opened the back cover of the van, and a truck full of supplies came into view.

"Brother, you bought so much stuff yesterday!"

Jiang Xiaobo, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, stood to the side and exclaimed in surprise.

Jiang Xia nodded and said, "Come on, let's unload these things together."

"Okay." Jiang Xiaobo replied, not throwing away the cigarette he hadn't finished smoking, but holding it in his mouth as he started helping to unload the things.

The two brothers quickly got to work.

The parasol and lifebuoy were easy to install; Jiang Xia felt that she and Jiang Xiaobo could handle it themselves without needing to hire any workers.

His goal today is to get all the necessary infrastructure in place at the fishing spot ready, and then start figuring out how to promote it.

However, Jiang Xia wasn't too worried about the publicity aspect.

Although the fishing grounds haven't been open for the past few days, anglers who came to the reservoir for wild fishing before have all seen the construction of the fishing grounds. They went back and talked about it everywhere, and now quite a few people in the entire Linjiang area know about "Qingshan Fishing Park".

Yes, that's right. Jiangxia named his fishing spot "Qingshan Fishing Park," and the sign is already up.

The reason for this name is not complicated. First, the village where my family lives is called Qingshan Village. Second, the reservoir at the fishing spot is located at the foot of Qingshan Mountain. Moreover, the fishing spot is not a trendy shop or anything like that, so it doesn't need an attractive name. All things considered, this name is the most appropriate.

Although the bread cart was loaded with a lot of stuff, the Jiang brothers were both strong young men, and soon they had unloaded everything onto the open ground by the reservoir.

After tidying up all the supplies, the two brothers, not minding the dirt, immediately sat down on the ground to rest for a while.

Jiang Xia took out a White General cigarette from Shandong Province, handed it to Jiang Xiaobo, and asked:

"How are you, Xiao Bo? Are you tired?"

Jiang Xiaobo laughed and said, "Brother, this is nothing. I can carry 100-pound pipes on the construction site without ever complaining."

As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Xia curiously, "Brother, you're not going to be unable to perform, are you?"

These words made Jiang Xia blush a little. Since she started working, she had never done any physical labor. Although she was 24 years old and in good health, she was still a little out of breath when she did physical work.

Despite her brother's mockery, Jiang Xia stubbornly retorted, "How could that be? I wouldn't even be out of breath if I unloaded two more truckloads like that!"

Unfortunately, his heavy breathing gave him away.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaobo didn't expose him, but instead chatted with his brother about the interesting things that happened while working on the construction site.

After the two brothers finished their cigarettes, Jiang Xia got up, took out his key, and opened the door of the reservoir warehouse to look for an air pump.

To make them easy to carry, the life rings he bought were not inflated; he had to inflate them himself after bringing them home.

This warehouse was built by my father when he was raising fish in his early years. Many of the reservoir's tools are kept inside.

Besides the warehouse, there is also a small courtyard house not far away, which was built during the years when my father raised fish.

Back then, the whole family lived in this courtyard house for the convenience of raising fish.

Looking at the courtyard house not far away, Jiang Xia planned to renovate it all after the fishing grounds stabilized. If he had the money, he would build it into a small villa so he could live there in the future.

Jiang Xia and Jiang Xiaobo retrieved an air pump from the warehouse and began repeatedly inflating the lifebuoy.

The process was quite tedious; with over 200 lifebuoys, it took the two brothers more than an hour to finish.

However, as the two chatted, time passed quite quickly without them realizing it.

After inflating the lifebuoys, Jiang Xia and Jiang Xiaobo tied them one by one to the fishing spots.

After the last lifebuoy was tied on, Jiang Xia originally planned to continue placing sun umbrellas on the fishing spot.

But when I looked up, the sun was blazing hot; it was already noon.

Just then, the phone in Jiang Xia's pocket rang. He took it out and saw that it was his mother calling.

"It's already past 12 o'clock, why aren't you back for dinner? How come you forget to eat when you're working? You and Xiao Bo should come back and eat first, then go back and continue working."

On the phone, Wang Guifen's angry voice came through.

Jiang Xia looked embarrassed.

Well, I got so caught up in the work that I forgot to check the time.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and called out to Jiang Xiaobo, "Xiaobo, let's stop for now and go home for dinner."

"Okay, bro."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobo put down what he was doing and walked towards Jiang Xia.

When the two brothers returned home, Wang Guifen had already served the dishes and placed them on the table.

Upon seeing the two, Wang Guifen complained, "Why don't you two eat when you're working? Are you stupid?"

These words made the two brothers chuckle.

Seeing the two brothers' carefree and irresponsible behavior, Wang Guifen was furious. She ignored Jiang Xia and looked at Jiang Xiaobo instead:

"Xiao Bo, come back for dinner when you see it's mealtime next time. Don't worry about your brother; let him do what he wants."

Seeing his mother's angry expression, Jiang Xia quickly put on a good boy's act, "Mom, don't worry, I'll definitely be back for dinner early tomorrow."

Wang Guifen rolled her eyes at him, "Go wash your hands and eat, the food is getting cold."

Upon hearing this, the two brothers immediately ran to wash their hands and eat.

……

After finishing their meal, Jiang Xia looked at the bright sun outside and rested at home with Jiang Xiaobo for a while before returning to the reservoir.

The two had finished setting up the lifebuoys in the morning; all they needed to do in the afternoon was install the parasols.

Because the hardened fishing spot already had holes for inserting sun umbrellas, the two people only need to insert the sun umbrellas directly into them.

The job wasn't difficult to begin with. The two brothers were halfway through when Jiang Jianguo, who had finished working in the fields, came over to help.

The three of them worked together and quickly installed sunshades for all 200 fishing spots.

Jiang Xia learned his lesson this time. Seeing that it was still early, he called his father and Jiang Xiaobo to tidy up all the other odds and ends.

In this way, the fishing ground can be opened for business at any time.

Looking at the rows of fishing spots, neatly arranged with colorful parasols, Jiang Xia finally realized that this was what a fishing spot should look like. Before, it was just a series of cement blocks, which was indeed different from what he had seen on short videos in his later life.
