Xu Xiaoyu held Nini in his left hand and Zaizai in his right hand. He was constantly being kissed by his two precious nephews along the way. He greeted the villagers from time to time, and Xu Xiaoyu came to the river.

This river has the same name as Taoyuan Town, so it is called Taoyuan River because its origin is at the end of Taoyuan Town.

The flow of Taoyuan River is neither fast nor slow. It can only be regarded as a medium-small river, with an average width of less than ten meters.

I saw that the river was winding and gurgling, but the water quality was much worse than what Xu Xiaoyu used to directly wash rice and cook vegetables in his childhood. Of course, the water quality of the entire Taoyuan River in Taoyuan Town was quite good.

Not bad, if the county section of Jingxian County and the urban section of Chengdu City, it would directly become the Yellow River! It would become Heilongjiang!

This Taoyuan River carries many happy memories of Xu Xiaoyu's childhood, fishing, fishing, swimming, playing in the water, catching crabs, releasing lobsters, etc.

The breeze blows, ruffling the water surface and making sparkling waves. The air is filled with the fresh and delicious smell of water cordyceps. For Xu Xiaoyu, this is a nostalgic, familiar, long-lost smell of hometown.

, he took a few deep breaths and felt refreshed and relaxed.

On both sides of the river are fields, in which the seedlings are growing green. As far as the eye can see, it is a green and prosperous scene.

Xu Xiaoyu looked at these rice fields and recalled the scenes of planting rice seedlings, threshing rice, fishing for eels, digging for loaches, and catching frogs when he was a child.

As the field of vision expands, there are green vegetable fields, spring-filled mountain forests, cattle and sheep grazing leisurely, and Chinese pastoral dogs wandering around with soy sauce bottles in their mouths...

Looking at all this, Xu Xiaoyu couldn't help but picture Old John's Jinshan Ranch where cows and sheep were seen in the wind.

Comparing the two, Xu Xiaoyu felt that he was more in love with the poetic scene in front of him. He couldn't help but secretly thought: If one day he owns a large piece of private land of his own in the United States, he must create the scene like this.

!

At least part of the land must be taken care of like this!

"Uncle, why don't you leave? Grandpa is still in front."

Seeing Xu Xiaoyu in a daze, Nini Zaizai pinched his ears with her fleshy little hands.

"Let's go, let's go." Xu Xiaoyu came to his senses and walked forward.

Two or three hundred meters away, Wu Dashun, who was standing by the willow tree with his crooked neck, saw him and yelled at the top of his voice: "Xiaoyu, you are such a melon, why did you come here now with all the ink stains! I've already caught him.

It’s a big fish, and Uncle Xu caught more than me.”

Xu Xiaoyu walked over and put down Nini Zaizai. In front of Xu Zhiguo and Wu Dashun, the two little guys had to show off the cowboy clothes and cowboy hats Xu Xiaoyu bought for them, as well as their cool toy pistols!

"Oh, we really caught a lot of fish." Xu Xiaoyu picked up Wu Dashun's net bag from the water and looked at it. There were six or seven fish, but they were all small fish. They definitely weighed less than a kilogram in total, maybe half a kilogram.

Let’s look at my dad’s harvest again. There are thirteen or four fish, with a total weight of about one and a half kilograms. The largest one is a carp, which is more than four fingers wide.

"How about Xiaoyu, dad's fishing skills are pretty good, right?" Xu Zhiguo started to make a fuss again.

"Not bad, really good!" Xu Xiaoyu praised sincerely. He knew this Taoyuan River very well. If he could go back more than ten years, there would be a lot of fish in the river, many weighing several kilograms or more. Just catch one or two.

I can catch several kilograms of fish in an hour.

However, the Taoyuan River was being tortured so much that he had nothing to say other than "hehe". Dad was able to catch one and a half kilograms of fish in more than two hours, and even caught one that weighed half a kilogram. As a

An amateur fisherman is indeed very good.

"Here, your fishing rod is there, get it done quickly, dad will teach you some practical skills... Look at that boy Dashun, he has learned the skills from me a long time ago, no, he hasn't been here until now

, he has already caught several fish. If he can catch three or four fish on normal days, he will be considered a high achiever."

Xu Zhiguo raised his eyebrows and said proudly.

"Uncle, here you go." Zaizai obediently helped bring the fishing rod over.

"Zai Zai is so good." Xu Xiaoyu took the chubby boy in his arms, kissed his tender little face, and took the fishing rod.

This thing is a telescopic ordinary pole. Xu Xiaoyu fiddled with it and put earthworms on it. Xu Zhiguo guided him to adjust the depth of the float, then pointed to a place in the river, and Xu Xiaoyu threw the bait out.

Xu Zhiguo began to behave like a master, shaking his head and formally preaching:

"When it comes to fishing, the first and most important thing is to be able to look at the place and see where the fish are hiding."

“Secondly, you need to know how to adjust the height of the float according to the depth of the water, because fish will move at multiple levels of the water depending on their species, such as crucian carp, carp, catfish, yellow bone fish at the bottom, grass carp, herring, and chain fish.

It's about the middle layer, and the white strips are on the top layer."

"Of course, the most important thing about fishing is to be patient. If you are half-hearted and don't have bad luck, you will definitely not be able to catch any fish..."

Xu Zhiguo was talking eloquently, and suddenly his float started to move. He held the fishing rod, stared at the float, and continued speaking slowly:

"This is fishing. If you go to a place where no one has fished before, the fish will be easy to catch. When you bite the hook, it will be so fierce that you will swallow it in one bite. In this river like ours, there are so many people fishing every day.

, the fish have all slipped.”

"Look at the fish that is biting now. You can tell at a glance that it is a slippery fish. It is testing now, so you can't be impatient at this time. You have to be patient with it. If it tests for a while and finds nothing abnormal, it will bite.

Be careful, after all, it will worry about other fish competing for food with it..."

While Xu Zhiguo was talking, he was floating up and down intermittently. He was not anxious at all.

This was repeated for more than two or three minutes, and suddenly, the float suddenly sank.

It was said that it was late and then it was soon. Xu Zhiguo, who had been waiting for this moment, vigorously shook the pole in his hand.

"Wow!"

A crucian carp with melon seeds more than three fingers wide flew out of the water, landed on the shore, and jumped happily on the grass.

"Grandpa is great, grandpa is great..."

When Ni Ni Zai Zai saw this, they excitedly stuck their pistols into their waists, and both ran over to catch the crucian carp seeds.

Their palms were only as wide as a crucian carp seed, and the crucian carp seed struggled violently, and its whole body was slippery. The four small palms combined could not catch the crucian carp seed.

"Ninizai, grandpa, come."

Xu Zhiguo was afraid that the hook would hurt their hands, so he hurriedly took off the hook from the fish, threw the crucian carp in his hand, and proudly said to Xu Xiaoyu: "If you see Xiaoyu, learn from it!"

"Learning."

Xu Xiaoyu smiled slightly. His fishing skills were not bad. After all, he had been harming the fish in Taoyuan River since he was a child.

However, since I entered high school and went to college, I have seldom fished, and I have never touched a pole in the United States. Xu Xiaoyu thought about what would happen if he went fishing in the same river outside Reno where he and Jim Thompson last time shot fish.

What kind of fun?

It must be the kind where the fishing rod is put down and the fish bites the hook immediately, and it is a deadly attack!

Thinking of this, Xu Xiaoyu couldn't help but look forward to it. After returning to the United States, he must find time to experience it!

"Hey, why are you in such a daze? The fish have bitten the hook!"
