Chapter 152: Chapter 122: Can’t I just wash it! [Big chapter, 7000 words!]_3

Watching Ye Fan, his eyes were full of admiration.

He hadn’t expected Ye Fan to have quite a bit of fishing experience as well.

“Really?” Bai Zhentian asked, furrowing his brow and speaking slowly.

He was still somewhat incredulous.

In fact, he had been involved in fishing for a while but had stopped a long time ago since he was busy with work and gradually ran out of time for fishing. It was only after coming here that he started fishing again, so he was less skilled than even an amateur.

“No worries, just watch and you’ll know. But once that float moves, whatever is on the hook is definitely not small. If it doesn’t move, it doesn’t move. Sometimes it’s easy to come up empty since big fish are very cautious. So, it’s all about patience now. They say fishing can hone one’s patience, and here it is!” Bai Zhentian added.

Hearing Bai Zhentian’s explanation, everyone began to understand a bit better.

Bai Susu thought that her grandfather knew so much about fishing.

“Alright, keep quiet, the fish are very clever,” Bai Zhentian said again.

Everything quieted down in that moment.

Ye Fan sat on the chair, leisurely watching the float, looking very calm.

There was no movement on Bai Zhentian’s side either.

In the middle, Ye Dong sat intently staring at his float, which, unfortunately, remained still.

It seemed like the fish had passed their active feeding time.

Nevertheless, everyone remained silent, all eyes fixed on their floats.

Just then, with a “swoosh,”

Bai Zhentian’s float was yanked underwater, Old Master Bai quickly lifted his rod and began his struggle with the fish.

“Damn, that’s a big one!” Ye Dong exclaimed in shock.

He immediately stood up, ready to rush over to Bai Zhentian’s side to help.

But at that moment, Ye Fan’s float also went “swoosh” and dipped under the water.

Ye Fan also quickly raised his rod and began to battle with the fish.

In that instant, Ye Dong was dumbfounded!

What was going on?!

Both men had hooked big fish; where was his?

Turning back to look at his own float, which hadn’t moved at all, Ye Dong felt a chill in his heart.

“Look, Old Master Bai has hooked a big one, and over there, Ye Fan has too!” Mother Ye said joyfully, holding Little Fourth in her arms and pointing for him to see.

Little Fourth tilted his head, his eyes full of curiosity as he watched what looked like a tug-of-war between the two men.

The little guy turned his head, now watching Bai Zhentian, now turning to look at Ye Fan.

When he looked at Ye Fan, he broke into a smile.

He recognized him, this was her daddy.

“Little Fourth, look, your daddy is fishing, competing with a fish. Over there is your great-grandfather, also having a tug-of-war with a fish. Look in the middle, that’s your grandpa, uh, he’s just standing there watching, looking a bit silly!” Mother Ye explained to the little one.

There was no helping it, Little Fourth was the liveliest, and having stayed in the stroller for a while, he was unwilling and wanted to be held, so she had picked him up.

Look at him, his eyes nearly popping out at the scene before him.

Of course, they too tense watching the scene unfold.

Bai Susu came over to Ye Fan’s side, net in hand, ready to scoop up the fish at any moment.

And Ye Dong, with another net, stood not far from Bai Zhentian, ready to net the fish soon.

Soon, both fish were exhausted and dragged to the lake shore. Bai Susu swiftly scooped up the fish, a large grass carp which, by the looks of it, weighed at least six or seven pounds.

Goodness, such a big one.

On the other side, Ye Dong lifted out a carp, its belly swollen, presumably a female. Although the carp wasn’t as long as the grass carp, with its plump belly and round body, it must have weighed at least five or six pounds.

“Alright, this fish is pregnant, let’s put it back in the lake,” Bai Zhentian said as he removed the hook and placed the fish back in the water. The fish, exhausted from the struggle, took more than ten seconds to right itself and swim away.

Anglers usually release female fish back into the water to ensure a continuous population.

“Ye Fan, not bad, your fish is even bigger than mine,” Bai Zhentian said, coming over to Ye Fan, admiring the nearly half-meter-long grass carp and couldn’t help but express his surprise.

It was really big.

The grass carp’s body was elegantly long and slender.

The scales were also in good condition, shining dazzlingly white in the sunlight, indicating that the lake’s water quality was very good.

“We want to have a fish feast tonight, dad, this time you’ve certainly…” Ye Fan said to his own father, teasingly raising an eyebrow.

Hahaha!

Served him right for being such a hole.

Now, he was left to face the music.

“Fair’s fair, I’ll wash your socks,” Ye Dong said through gritted teeth.

Ooh, how frustrated he felt!

Why hadn’t he caught anything?

Initially, he thought the task of washing socks would definitely fall to his son, but it turned out to be him!

That darn kid, still making snide remarks, was he really his son?

Forget it,

What’s the big deal about washing socks anyway.

“Ye Dong, don’t take it seriously, it was just a joke. You don’t need to wash the socks,” Bai Zhentian said with a laugh.

How could he let his son-in-law wash his socks?

That simply wouldn’t do.

“Look, I’m afraid you won’t wash them clean, so I’ll wash my own socks,” Ye Fan said with a laugh.

“No, I must do it. A bet is a bet, I must stick to my words, otherwise, I won’t be able to live with myself!” Ye Dong said with seriousness.
