Chapter 226 "Fishing"

After a stroll back from the pigeon market, Zhang Xingwang was so angry that he almost got hurt. He decided that he would never hang around the two brothers again unless necessary.

…………

After several meetings of the entire institute, the institute has become more and more harmonious recently. I heard that Yi Zhonghai is carrying out some secret mission recently. After all, he is an eighth-level worker. It is said that he will not be back until the New Year. This should not be the first time, and everyone has become accustomed to it.

This made Jia Zhang very angry. She was always in a bad mood every time she saw Zhang Xingwang, but it was understandable.

After all, the gloves were taken, and Old Yi ran away without even paying for next month's food expenses. Jia Zhangshi had lost both her wife and her army.

Every day she could only feel helpless and furious at the "unmotivated" Jia Dongxu. Except for Banggeng, no one in the family was pleasing to her eyes, so Jia never dared to let his mother knit gloves for him again.

Zhang Xingwang was a little confused by the occasional resentful look from Qin Huairu. He didn't provoke her, but this look seemed wrong. It seemed like she was thinking of him as a fool.

I've been a little over the top of my makeup lately, and this look makes it a little hard for me to fall asleep.

Yan Bugui now guards the gate after get off work every day. He smiles kindly when he sees people and is always willing to lend a hand when necessary.

Every time I look at the things everyone brings back, my eyes light up and my hands and feet become a little out of control.

Fortunately, he didn't ask for it explicitly or implicitly like before. It's not that he has changed for the better, but he simply knows that he can't get it.

Now everyone sees him as an old man who guards the gate, and there is no respect for him at all. Yan Bugui can only stare at this helplessly, after all, he is still in the period of awaiting punishment and making meritorious contributions.

I just heard from my fourth sister that Yan Bugui has been going out more frequently recently, and he hasn't gone out to break ice holes to fish, so I don't know what he is doing.

In a blink of an eye, there is only one week left before the Chinese New Year. I was supposed to go to work today, but under the persuasion of Section Chief Qi, I still went out on a field trip. After all, the work arranged by the leader cannot be neglected.

Zhang Xingwang slept in the morning, and after lunch, he set out with his fishing rod, preparing to go on a field trip to Shichahai, go fishing, and fulfill his promise to Director Wang.

The main thing is that after Director Wang saw him at work yesterday, he forced him to tell a story.

Director Wang’s stories are fairly decent, but the protagonist always ends up being deserted by his friends and family, which is not a very good ending.

Moreover, this auntie started by saying that the young man was a heartless liar and did not keep his word at all. She also concluded that it is not enough to have talent, but people need to bring it into play and so on.

Although the story was told vividly and emotionally, the expression on his face did not match the story at all.

After telling the story, he told Zhang Xingwang seriously that he must not become that kind of person.

Zhang Xingwang also understood Director Wang's painstaking efforts. Looking at the colleagues who were looking around behind him, he knew that she was also forced into a desperate situation.

Moreover, he is now in charge of purchasing for the canteen and is not a staff member of the street office, so Director Wang can only tell him stories.

In the past, this iron lady would probably just drag him into the office, pull the curtains, and show him a talent show or something, and Zhang Xingwang would be left screaming and screaming.

However, Zhang Xingwang thought about it and decided that since he was free anyway, he might as well go out for a walk, so he nodded to indicate that he also had a talent for fishing.

It’s still early before the holiday, so I will definitely make some use of it when the day comes.

Unexpectedly, when Director Wang finished telling the story and walked away contentedly, the good leader, Section Chief Qi, came over again.

He called him to the office, handed him a cigarette, and then said bluntly:

"Xiao Zhang, you know me well. We are not rigid people. I'll approve the field work. Just remember to leave two big ones for me. If you can't catch any, it's okay. Just treat it as field work."

Hearing this, Zhang Xingwang exclaimed, "Wow!" It turned out that people with this surname in the system are not simple. However, this leader is really capable. Not to mention there is a rumor that he will be promoted to deputy director after the new year.

He is indeed a man who can do great things, and he is well-known for protecting his children and not being rigid in his work. However, when such people get angry, the ending is not good.

I don’t know what his final outcome will be, but if he succeeds, I’ll probably be able to benefit from it.

…………

When we arrived at Shichahai, we parked our bikes and took our fishing rods to the shore of Shichahai. The weather was nice today, a little cold, but at least there was no wind.

It was already past two in the afternoon, and there were all kinds of people on the ice, including a group of people taking their children out for a stroll.

Zhang Xingwang strolled around for a long time and found a place where there were few fishermen. He took out the prepared ice pick and pretended to start working.

I thought I had to break the ice, otherwise the space would be taken up all at once, and not only me, but everyone around me would have to go down for a winter swim.

He quietly used the space to create an ice hole the size of a washbasin, then took out a fishing rod and began to pretend to fish.

It is called a fishing rod, but it is just a random wooden stick as thick as an arm, which looks like a large rolling pin.

Just tie a half length of fishing line on it and it's done. This design even attracted some laughs from the fishermen.

Then he reached his hand in while no one was paying attention. Afterwards, he heard a slight sound on the ice surface, and then everything returned to calm.

After taking a look at the people nearby and seeing that they didn't notice anything, I felt relieved. A few more fish appeared in the space.

The fish are basically at the bottom of the water, and the space is only a little over two meters long, so you can't reach much.

I could only move to another place after each shot, and I changed places several times before stopping and slowing down, otherwise it would seem too abrupt.

The good news is that after his body stood up, he is no longer the same Qicilang as before. He has already changed seven places, but his brain only feels a little uncomfortable.

The bad news is that fish activity is very poor in winter, and you have to move to another place almost immediately. Even if you make a nest, you won’t attract many fish.

It took us until about four o'clock to finally catch about 140 kilograms of fish, but none of them were small.

During this period, he was also ridiculed by a group of fishermen, who said sarcastically, "You are not a good person, but you blame the uneven kang." Zhang Xingwang could not tolerate this, so he finally performed a series of tricks for them.

As the group of anglers stared in amazement, he "hooked up" seven or eight big fish weighing more than five kilograms.

Then he carried the fish basket on his back and walked past the fishermen with a show-off look on his face, and then slowly prepared to go back.

A group of fishermen looked at Zhang Xingwang giving up the Feng Shui location of the connecting rod and completely forgot their mocking words. They swarmed up and almost got into a fight.
