Financial freedom begins with fishing

Chapter 30 It got bigger

When he got home, Xiao Kai first reported to his mother about his blind date that day.

After receiving a satisfactory answer from my mother, the matter was temporarily put to rest.

As for Zhan Xinyue, Xiao Kai hasn't focused too much on her yet.

In his view, it's best to let things take their natural course.

If it really works out, that would be great. After all, not many men dislike beautiful women, and he's a normal man, so he's no exception.

But he won't force it if it doesn't work out.

After all, there is still a gap between the two at present.

First of all, Xiao Kai is currently unemployed, and his family is not wealthy.

Although they own a house, it's not very big, and it's in a small fifth-tier city.

Even his savings amounted to only tens of thousands of yuan.

Even with parental support, the maximum amount they can provide is the bride price.

If I had to pick one redeeming quality, it would be that his looks were barely good enough for her.

From a genetic perspective, their marriage would indeed have a certain guarantee on the appearance of their offspring.

Xiao Kai's personality can be considered a strength; he is patient, meticulous, and doesn't easily get angry, which indirectly prevents family conflicts from occurring.

Apart from that, Xiao Kai's other performances can be described as utterly unremarkable.

Compared to him, Zhan Xinyue is much better off.

Her parents were both intellectuals, and although their salaries weren't very high, their social status was far superior to that of Xiao Kai's family.

In addition, Zhan Xinyue's personal development is also quite good.

Graduated from a top university, with a stable job and income in a first-tier city.

Although she has considered returning to her hometown to develop her career, it is not something Xiao Kai can currently match.

Xiao Kai learned all of this from his mother.

It is said that after they graduated from high school, the parent group that the homeroom teacher created for easier student management was changed into a matchmaking group.

His mother also met Zhan Xinyue's mother in the group.

The two arranged the blind date only after they learned that their children were not married. They had a clear understanding of each other's specific circumstances.

To be honest, if it weren't for this connection, Xiao Kai would never have had such a good opportunity.

.....

The next morning, Xiao Kai woke up to find the room unusually cold.

He opened the window and saw that everything outside was shrouded in fog; from his floor, he couldn't even see anything below.

"Ugh! It's so cold! What kind of weather is this!"

Xiao Kai hurriedly rummaged through the closet for thermal underwear and put it on, then took out his phone to check.

Before we knew it, it was already mid-December.

"No wonder it's so cold, it turns out it's been so long since the start of winter."

"How come it's only 3 degrees Celsius? I remember it was 10 degrees yesterday. The weather is so unpredictable!"

Xiao Kai looked at the weather forecast on his phone, wondering whether he should go fishing today.

With the weather suddenly turning cold, the fish will definitely be less active, so the chances of a good catch if you go fishing now are uncertain.

Even if he had a cheat code, he would definitely catch far fewer fish in this situation than usual.

But he was a little unwilling to go.

After all, he's really short of money right now.

On the one hand, he wanted to buy a car, and on the other hand, he wanted to put his parents' minds at ease as soon as possible.

He hasn't told his parents yet that he wants to fish full-time, because he knows they would definitely stop him if they did.

After all, from a normal person's perspective, probably not many people would believe that one can get rich simply by fishing.

If it weren't for the fact that it's not long before the Chinese New Year, he would probably have already been pressured to find a job.

Therefore, he wanted to make a good fortune through fishing before the end of the Chinese New Year, at least enough to change his parents' minds and support his full-time fishing career.

Only then can he proceed with the next step of his plan with peace of mind.

His next plan requires a car, and that step also requires money.

"Money, money, money! Everything costs money! Sigh~"

Xiao Kai sat on the bed, caught in a dilemma.

In the end, money prevailed.

If you don't go, you definitely won't get a penny; if you go, you might even make a fortune.

He lingered in bed for half an hour before finally getting up.

After washing up, he picked up his fishing gear and left home.

Considering that he was making a round trip in one day, Xiao Kai did not bring too much fishing gear, but his motorcycle could fit it all.

When he got downstairs, Xiao Kai put the fishing gear on the motorcycle and stopped just as he was about to start it.

He was thinking about where to go fishing today.

Yangjiahu Reservoir can be ruled out first.

The resources there were extremely scarce. Even with his extraordinary abilities, it took him a long time to start operating on his first two visits.

In this weather, if he goes again, he'll waste a lot of time.

After much deliberation, Xiao Kai decided to go to the wild river where he had fallen in last time.

The river is not far from Pingshun City, only about 30 kilometers away, so it's definitely possible to go and return on the same day.

Another factor is resources. Judging from the last situation, the resources there are quite good.

It mainly consists of crucian carp, and they are all quite large, with almost none weighing less than half a pound.

Given the current weather, it's the perfect time to fish for crucian carp, and the prices are quite good.

As for other places, they are either too far away, lack resources, or are not suitable for fishing for crucian carp.

After much deliberation, Xiao Kai decided to give it a try.

He was a man of action, and without hesitation, he quickly started his motorcycle and sped toward his target.

......

Due to the heavy fog and poor visibility, Xiao Kai was not riding very fast.

It took him a full fifty minutes to get there, a distance of thirty kilometers.

He first parked his motorcycle at the intersection, and then carried his fishing gear toward the fishing spot he and Xiao Peng had visited last time.

He had already planned to go fishing alone today.

To his surprise, when he arrived at the fishing spot, he found that it had already been taken by someone else.

He was a man who looked to be in his fifties. His energy and dark skin made him look like a seasoned angler.

At this moment, he was sitting leisurely in a fishing chair, watching the float in the water. He held a thermos in his left hand and placed his right hand on the fishing rod. There was also a charcoal fire burning in an iron stove next to him. He looked quite relaxed.

What surprised Xiao Kai the most was that there was a motorcycle parked on the open ground next to the uncle.

Good heavens, with this weather and these road conditions, this uncle still dares to ride his motorcycle in here.

To be honest, that's incredibly daring.

Recalling the muddy path he had traversed to get here, Xiao Kai couldn't help but admire the uncle's courage.

He would never dare to ride his motorcycle like that.

Reversing is a minor issue; if you accidentally fall into the river, in this cold weather, in this desolate wilderness, the chances of survival are slim.

"Uncle, you're here pretty early!" Xiao Kai greeted the man with a smile.

Hearing the sound, the middle-aged man turned around.

"Wow, he's quite a handsome older man."

As the man turned his head, Xiao Kai couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"I thought I was the only one here today. Hello, young man!"

The uncle was somewhat surprised when he saw Xiao Kai, but his expression quickly turned to joy, clearly showing he was a hospitable person.

But Xiao Kai was stunned when the uncle spoke fluent Mandarin.

He thought the man was a local and was speaking in the local dialect, but he didn't expect the man to be speaking Mandarin.

However, since the other person could understand his dialect, it was clear that even if he wasn't a local, he was probably quite familiar with it.

"Hello!" Xiao Kai replied with a smile.

"When did you arrive, uncle? Do you have any mouth?"

Upon hearing Xiao Kai's words, the uncle's face immediately turned bitter, and he shook his head.

"No, the weather changed too drastically today!"

"Oh, it's okay, let's wait and see!"

"Uncle, let me find somewhere first, we can talk later!"

"good!"

Soon, Xiao Kai opened up a new fishing spot not far from the uncle's.

He first skillfully threw the fermented rice into the water, making sure his fishing rod could reach it, and then quickly finished preparing for fishing by mixing the bait and adjusting the float.

After doing all that, Xiao Kai sat down at his fishing spot and began fishing.

As the bait is gently cast with the help of the fishing rod, it successfully reaches the designated feeding area.

The familiar aperture reappeared the next second.

However, the moment Xiao Kai saw the aperture, he froze.

"Wait, why has the aperture gotten bigger?"
