On Sunday morning, Xu Zhe thought that he was not getting up late, but he was still urged by his grandfather on the phone.

When we arrived at the river, it was only eight o'clock in the morning.

However, he found that there were already several fishermen sitting on the bank of the river, and all of them were older middle-aged and elderly men. His grandfather was probably only slightly above average among these people.

Grandpa was sitting on the grass on the bank of the river, and under his ass was a small maza. The old man had sharp eyes staring at the water, as if he was waiting for something at any moment.

Xu Zhe squatted next to him and patted the old man on the shoulder.

Grandpa made a silencing gesture: "Shhh ”

Xu Zhe: "I'll just say a few words on the shore, right?" ”

Grandpa lowered his voice and said, "What do you know, this fish is clever, and the movement on the shore can be transmitted to the water, so be quiet." ”

So Xu Zhe also lowered his voice: "Okay, old connoisseur, did you catch it today?" ”

After saying that, he lifted the lid of the bucket next to him and glanced at it, and suddenly realized that the question he was asking didn't seem to be appropriate. There was only water in the bucket, and there was not a shadow of a fish.

Grandpa is quite confident: "It's still early, it's only a few o'clock, you just wait and see!" ”

So Xu Zhe squatted next to him and waited for a while, until his legs were numb, then he stood up and waited for a long time. But Grandpa's fish float never moved, only slightly undulating with the ripples on the water surface.

But several other old fishing friends around have already made a harvest. One of them even caught a large one, which drew the envy of his friend.

There was still no movement on Grandpa's side.

The old man suddenly muttered, "Is there a problem with the bait...... No, it was exactly the same last time, and I caught it. ”

Xu Zhe: "I think that person's equipment is quite professional, and he even made a net." ”

Grandpa: "That's called Yugo, I don't need to get that." ”

Xu Zhe: "What is the fish guard for?" ”

Grandpa: "Fill the fish, put the fish in the fish guard, and don't let it run away." ”

Xu Zhe: "Then why don't you need ...... Oh, it's okay. ”

Why didn't Grandpa buy fish guards, but brought a bucket from home? Is it because the fish you catch don't need fish protection at all, and you only need a bucket with some water to hold it?

Of course, there is no need to prick the old man's heart with this kind of problem.

The grandfather glared at his grandson, but he was not embarrassed to reprimand again, but he couldn't help but pull up the fishing rod again and look at the hook, change the bait again, and then throw it back in.

At this time, Xu Zhe's mobile phone rang.

In an instant, not only the grandfather beside him, but even the other two old fishing friends in the distance looked at this ignorant young man.

Xu Zhe hurriedly turned off the ringer, walked a little farther to the side, and then connected the phone.

It was Shen Lan who called this time. She asked, "Do you have any arrangements for today?" ”

Xu Zhe: "Look at my grandparents." ”

Shen Lan: "Huh? ”

Xu Zhe: "Actually, to be precise, it depends on my grandfather." He always said that he was a master fisherman, and he brought me to see the world. ”

Shen Lan: "Have you seen the world?" ”

Xu Zhe: "Sort of, anyway, I've seen the Air Force." Don't talk about this, do you have something to look for me? ”

"Actually, it's not a big deal......," the girl sighed, "Actually, I've been trying to recruit recently, but none of the people I've recruited have been like." New games are far away, and old games have to be updated every now and then to add something new. And I'm not like you to send me directly, I'm going to take the college entrance examination anyway, and I'm still brushing up on the questions recently. ”

Xu Zhe suddenly said: "Understood, you feel a little tired and came to me to complain." ”

Shen Lan: "I don't have the habit of complaining, I just want to ask you if you have time to come out to play." I haven't played billiards in a long time. ”

Xu Zhe: "Use me to vent your emotions...... It's okay, but I have to go fishing with my grandfather in the morning and go to dinner at noon, so I guess I will have time in the afternoon. ”

The girl on the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds, and then suddenly asked, "Where are you fishing, can I go and see?" ”

Xu Zhe couldn't help but be stunned: "You want to see my grandfather?" ”

Shen Lan: "It's not to see your grandfather, it's to see you." Your grandfather is so busy fishing that he won't be able to leave. You just say you're bored, take a walk, and then you can see me. ”

Xu Zhe: "Then what? What do you do for lunch? ”

Shen Lan smiled: "It's very simple, I'll eat casually outside, and you will have lunch with your grandfather." When I'm done eating, I'll drive you up. ”

The girl's arrangement made Xu Zhe unable to find a reason to refuse.

However, he still asked one more question: "Don't dare to see my grandparents?" ”

Shen Lan was silent for a moment and sighed: "I'm not used to that kind of occasion. Probably because I was more ...... since I was a child Well, the relationship between this part is relatively light, and my own relatives have rarely seen it. ”

Xu Zhe: "Understood, then I'll send you the address later, and you can just come over." ”

Shen Lan: "Okay, I'll see you later." ”

Hanging up the phone, Xu Zhe sent her the address in the form of text, then put away the phone and walked back to the river slowly.

Grandpa is still fishing.

Farther away, another angler has made a catch, but the joy of others has nothing to do with it. Grandpa tightened his old face, staring intently at the water, and his thick eyebrows were already wrinkled.

And Xu Zhe's gaze was much more relaxed and leisurely, and he glanced to the side, and was suddenly stunned.

He patted the old man's arm lightly and pointed.

Grandpa said impatiently: "Don't interrupt, be quiet!" ”

Xu Zhe: "No, look over there. ”

Grandpa: "It's useless to look at any side, fishing tests mental endurance, and you have to be calm." ”

Xu Zhe: "Look at that! ”

Grandpa finally listened to his grandson's words and looked in the direction of his grandson's finger, so he saw a fish mouth floating out of the water in front of him.

The fish was quite large, and its mouth opened and closed above the water's surface, as if it was breathing, and it seemed to be laughing.

Through the ripples on the surface of the water, the fish's eyes seem to be looking this way......

"it!"

Grandpa got up angrily, dropped the fishing rod in his hand, and pointed at the fish and couldn't help but curse.

Xu Zhe on the side also helped: "Let's fish, you show respect!" ”

Before the words fell, the old fishing friends around all looked at this side.

An old man who was older than his grandfather said loudly: "Xiao Xu, are you in a hurry again?" ”

The word 'again' made Xu Zhe have some understanding. And just then, he felt a tap on his shoulder.

Grandpa put away his equipment, turned around and left: "Don't fish, go home!" ”

Xu Zhe followed behind: "Grandpa, what are we going to eat at noon today?" ”

Grandpa: "Go to the vegetable market!" ”
