"Is it on the hook?" Snowy shrieked .
"It's on the hook! Boy, it's a big one!" Jin Er stood up from the chair, and stared at the floater .
Rookies usually pulled on the rod as soon as there was a bite, but the fish could escape that way . If it was a big fish, it usually fought back . If the rookie didn't have a firm grip on the rod, it could fly out of their hands .
Jin Er wasn't a professional fisherman, but he was very familiar with fishing . As soon as the rod sank, he raised the rod so that the hook could pierce through the fish's mouth . As thin lines and small hooks were used to fish Crucian Carps, if the fish fought back, the line could break . Fighting the fish was necessary to catch it .
He adjusted his grip on the rod and followed the fishing line's movement with his eyes . He tightened or loosened the line to control the fish .
It was the first time that Snowy witnessed the fishing process . Her mouth was half open in amazement, and her fists were clenched on behalf of Jin Er .
In the winter, Crucian Carps had less strength, so they didn't fight back as hard . It wasn't long before Jin Er felt the fish giving up . He carefully reeled in the line and lifted the rod .
Whoosh!
A huge Crucian Carp came out of the water and suddenly started fighting back, it flopped its tail and splashed water everywhere .
"Snowy! Get the net for me!" Jin Er shouted .
Snowy grabbed the net immediately .
However, as she was nervous, she wasn't in sync with Jin Er . While Jin Er swung the rod to the right, she swung the net left . She stomped her feet in frustration, and both of them were screaming .
The Crucian Carp used all its strength to get off the hook . It landed on the ground, about one meter away from the lake . It wiggled its body and flopped its tail . With each jump, it got closer to the lake .
Snowy threw the net away, and Jin Er did the same with the fishing rod . They bent down at the same time to catch the fish . However, the fish was too slippery, and escaped their hands each time .
As they were about to lose the fish, a flash of white came out of the alley and swung its paw to move the fish to the side . Another swing and the fish was firmly pressed on the ground .
It was Snowball .
"Wow! Snowball, you're awesome!" Snowy rubbed Snowball's head . "You'll get an extra can of fish today as a reward!"
"Meow!" Snow Ball squinted its eyes out of joy .
Jin Er looked at Snowball, then at his own dog rolling in mud . He almost wanted to cry .
The Crucian Carp slowly stopped fighting . As Snowball didn't plan to eat it, it moved its paws away . Jin Er put the fish on a scale . "Wow! It's 14 ounces . That's the heaviest Crucian Carp I've ever caught!"
Snowy gazed at him with puppy eyes .
Jin Er understood what she was thinking . He unhooked the fish, picked up a thin long branch, and pierced it through the fish's mouth . "Take it . This is the only one for now, but I'll keep fishing . Take this as my red packet for the New Year . "
"Thank you, Uncle Jin!" Snowy took it with excitement .
Jin Er had given Snowy red packets in the past for the New Year, but had never seen her as happy as she was right now . He was happy to give it to her . It was true that giving gifts was just as fun as receiving them .
Snowy hesitated on whether she should drop Snowball off at home, or take it with her to the pet shop . It didn't take long for her to decide on the latter, as she wasn't sure if she'd be able to come out again after going home .
"Uncle Jin, I have to go somewhere . If my mom comes to look for me, please help cover for me," She begged .
"Okay . " Jin Er grinned . He didn't want to get involved, but he also didn't want to refuse Snowy .
He filled the bucket halfway with water . "Here, the fish is still alive . Put it in the bucket, or it'll turn stale . "
The bucket was small, so it only fit one fish .
Snowy put the fish inside and covered the lid . The fish was half alive in the bucket, and flopped it tail occasionally .
She called Snowball, and they walked out of the community together . Jin Er sat back in his chair, ready for another fight . Fishing with an empty hook was nice, but fishing with real bait from time to time was very satisfying as well .
After leaving the community, Snowy called a taxi and went straight to the pet shop .
There were very few cars on the road, so they arrived quickly .
As soon as she entered, she realized that the pet shop was quieter than usual . The shop was empty . It was Chinese New Year's Day, after all .
Zhang Zian's back faced the door . He put one hand on his waist, the other hand held a slipper pointed at a grey parrot on top of the shelf . "I was talking about borrowing arrows with boats loaded with straw . What do you mean by 'f*cking the boat while borrowing arrows?'"
"Quack!" Richard rolled its eyes mischievously . "I was wrong . You idiot is b*tchy enough . You don't need to borrow any more arrows!"
Zhang Zian didn't know what to say .
"Quack! Let's have a truce . Put down the slipper" Richard shrunk its neck .
Despite the absense of the two workers, the pet shop was still full of action on New Year's .
"Hello! Zhang Zian, Happy New Year! Yiyun, Happy New Year!"
Zhang Zian turned and found Snowy standing at the door with a smile, with a white Persian cat sitting behind her .
Lu Yiyun shifted her eyes from the number pad, and saw it was Snowy . "Snowy, Happy New Year! Are you here for a live broadcast?"
"Happy New Year . " Zhang Zian responded .
Snowy's appearance always meant a live broadcast, and he didn't think it was appropriate to hold slippers in front of her viewers, so he tossed them .
"Why are you here? Don't you need to stay with your family? Are you doing a live broadcast?" He asked .
"Not exactly . " Snowy shook her head . "I'm not planning to do a live broadcast today, and my trip here was unplanned . Didn't you announce that you need fresh Crucian Carps? Did you get any?"
"Not yet . " Zhang Zian sighed .
"Is that so?" Snowy lifted the bucket . "Well, I'm bringing you one as a red packet for the New Year . Fish for the New Year!"
