Chapter 22 Yan Bugui Invites Military Advisor Wang to Dinner, His Heart Bleeds
Wang Canjun hadn't expected the system to reward him with increased drinking capacity, and felt it wouldn't be very useful; in this day and age, it was almost impossible to make money with this skill.
However, it's always good to have skills, and I believe they will come in very handy in the future.
Without thinking much about it, I covered my head and went to sleep.
The next day, I originally planned to sleep until I naturally woke up.
But early in the morning, Yan Bugui woke me up.
Wang Canjun activated his X-ray vision and took a look. He saw that it was Yan Bugui, and his broken bicycle was placed at the gate, with fishing gear hanging on it.
If you do the math, today is Sunday.
This old rascal doesn't have to go to school today.
Judging from his posture, he must be here to invite me fishing, and then take the opportunity to become his apprentice and learn fishing skills.
Seeing this, he frowned. He didn't know any fishing techniques whatsoever; he only caught big fish because of his X-ray vision cheat.
He got up and opened the door.
Yan Bugui smiled broadly, his face full of flattery and ingratiation, "Join the army, let's go fishing together."
"No, Uncle, I haven't slept well yet," Wang Canjun said, rubbing his sleepy eyes with an unhappy expression.
Yan Bugui was taken aback. "No, what time is it? Besides, you're not at work. You're idle every day, so you shouldn't be sleepy, right?"
Yan Bugui felt that Wang Canjun was just giving him the runaround and trying to shirk responsibility.
He was also puzzled by Wang Canjun's skill, because with Wang Canjun's incredible fishing technique, even if he were in Wang's shoes, no matter how hard or tiring his work was, he would still take a few hours to fish every day, trying to catch something every day.
This kid doesn't have a job and has tons of free time every day, yet he just stays home all day or goes out to play but never goes fishing even once. It's unbelievable!
He racked his brains but couldn't figure it out, and finally could only attribute it to Wang Canjun's laziness, thinking to himself, "A good-for-nothing is a good-for-nothing, incredibly lazy."
He wouldn't even bother to bend down and pick up money if it were scattered all over the ground. It would be a miracle if someone like that didn't starve in this day and age.
However, Wang Canjun was secretly amused as he stared at Yan Bugui, muttering to himself, "How can I not be tired? I'm working so hard on your daughter-in-law's belly every night, no wonder I'm exhausted!"
The two men were preoccupied with their own thoughts, and Wang, the military advisor, did not answer.
Yan Bugui then said earnestly, "Joining the army, not that I'm criticizing you, but if you don't have a job, you should find another way to make a living. It's a real waste not to use your fishing skills..."
Wang Canjun realized that since he was unemployed and had no way to make money, if he wanted to live a life of luxury, he would have to rely on fishing as a front.
So he said, "Okay, but you'll have to wait a while. I haven't eaten yet. I need to cook and eat before I go fishing; I can't go fishing on an empty stomach."
Yan Bugui was eager to learn fishing techniques and catch big fish. Seeing Wang Canjun dawdling, he frowned and said, "Stop eating. You're not that hungry. To be honest, I haven't eaten either. I don't have the habit of eating breakfast."
"That won't do. If I don't have enough to eat, I won't be able to use my fishing skills, no matter how good they are," Wang Canjun said seriously.
"Alright, don't bother anymore. How about this, your third uncle will treat you to fried dough sticks outside?"
Yan Bugui gritted his teeth and, for the first time ever, acted generously.
His main reason was that he wanted to learn Wang Canjun's fishing techniques, and he felt it was impossible without investing some money.
And breakfast is the most cost-effective option, which also makes him seem generous.
Wang Canjun certainly wouldn't refuse. He politely declined, saying, "I'm so sorry, but you know what? I love fried dough sticks the most, especially with two big bowls of soy milk. I can enjoy them to my heart's content before going fishing. Only when my stomach is full can I calm down and have patience to catch big fish."
Yan Bugui was extremely annoyed. This kid wasn't polite at all, and was even pushing his luck by demanding two large bowls of soy milk. Wasn't he deliberately trying to rip me off?
But since I was going to be generous, I couldn't be stingy, so I gritted my teeth and said, "Okay, all you can eat."
"Alright, I'll go wash up," Wang Canjun said, quickly brushing his teeth and washing his face. Then, taking advantage of Yan Bugui's inattention, he secretly took out his fishing gear from his spatial storage, went out with him, and sat on the back of his bicycle.
Yan Bugui led the man to a fried dough stick stall, gritted his teeth, and bought two jin of fried dough sticks and two large bowls of soy milk.
Seeing that the old man was stingy, Wang Canjun ordered another three catties of fried dough sticks and a bowl of soy milk.
Yan Bugui didn't know what to say, and his heart was bleeding when he finally paid the bill.
"Hey, Canjun, you ride the bike," Yan Bugui said after finishing his meal and setting off, not wanting to exert himself anymore. He wanted Canjun Wang to carry him on the bike.
Wang Canjun said, "Third Uncle, you're kidding. How could I possibly ride a bicycle? I've never even ridden one in my entire life. I only got to ride one today because of you."
Yan Bugui was so annoyed by this that he almost threw up his breakfast, but figuring the kid really couldn't ride, he had no choice but to get on his bike and take him to Shishahai. He was panting heavily on the way, sweating profusely in the dead of winter.
Then, with a hint of complaint, she said, "You're not fat, so why are you so heavy?"
Wang Canjun is of a slender build; not only does he look light, but he actually weighs very little.
However, after acquiring the enhanced Lao Ai physique, his bone density increased and his muscles became firmer and more toned. Although he didn't look fat, his weight increased significantly, which explains why Yan Bugui complained that he was too heavy.
"Uncle, you're not that old, you're not even fifty yet. You shouldn't be this weak at your age."
"Were you tired from working overtime with Auntie San last night? Hehe..." Wang Canjun joked to lighten the mood and distract Yan Bugui.
Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui laughed and scolded, "You naughty boy, you're making fun of your third uncle."
Seeing that Yan Bugui wasn't angry, Wang Canjun continued to tease, "Third Uncle, how many times a month do you and Third Aunt do you do it?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui boasted, "It must be at least eighty or ninety times!"
Suddenly remembering something, he paused for a moment, then asked, "Hey, join the army? What brings you to these things? You wouldn't happen to be...?"
Yan Bugui was very worried about this, because his daughter-in-law had been washing this boy's clothes for a week and came back very late every day. To be honest, he was starting to have some doubts.
Taking the opportunity, he also probed into Wang Canjun's background.
Upon hearing this, Wang Canjun said, "Alas, Third Uncle, you don't understand. It's precisely because I'm not good at this that I'm even more curious. If I were truly good, I would get married and experience it myself every night, and then I wouldn't be interested anymore."
Yan Bugui listened and thought it made sense.
Then I thought of Sima Qian. In his Records of the Grand Historian, Sima Qian frequently mentioned the male genitalia, clearly showing his interest in it.
The fact that a eunuch like him was interested in matters of men and women is enough to show that the more something is unattainable, the more one yearns for and desires it, and the more interested one becomes in it.
He nodded and said, "Yes, you're right about joining the army, but I advise you to worry less about these things and not to think about them at all. The more you worry, the more distressed you'll become. Your defect is congenital, and there's basically no hope for you in this lifetime..."
Yan Bugui had no good intentions; his ostensible attempt to comfort was actually a disguised form of attack.
But how could he possibly discourage Wang Canjun? At this moment, Wang Canjun was inwardly laughing like a dog.
He wondered if Yan Bugui would be furious if he found out he was sleeping with his daughter-in-law every night.

Chapter 23 Yan Bugui becomes an apprentice and learns martial arts; Wang Canjun leeches off Yan Bugui.
The two arrived at Shishahai.
Yan Bugui then revealed his true purpose: "Join the army. Last Sunday, right here, you promised Uncle San, remember?"
Military Advisor Wang feigned ignorance and asked, "Third Uncle, what did I promise you?"
"Teach me your fishing techniques," Yan Bugui said matter-of-factly.
"I didn't agree to that," said Wang Canjun. "I just said I would consider letting you become my apprentice."
Yan Bugui paused for a moment upon hearing this, "So, have you made up your mind now?"
Wang Canjun said, "Third Uncle, I can't just pass on my fishing techniques to you for no reason. Besides, fishing requires a certain understanding. If you don't have that understanding, even if I teach you the techniques, you still won't be able to catch anything. You're a teacher, you're knowledgeable, you should understand this..."
Yan Bugui nodded and said, "Hmm, what you said makes sense. Here's what we'll do: when I join the army, you just need to pass on your fishing skills to me. Whether I have the aptitude for it or not is my own business and has nothing to do with you."
"Yes, that's right. I can tell from what you're saying that you're a wise man," said Military Advisor Wang.
"However, Uncle San, you must have heard the saying 'The Way is not easily passed on,' right? Such excellent skills, do you think I would just tell you to pass them on?"
Leaving aside other examples, take Uncle Yi Zhonghai from our compound. As a fitter, he's taken on countless apprentices. He doesn't usually teach them much, but every time there's a holiday, his apprentices bring big bags and small gifts as gifts.
Take Jia Dongxu for example, his circumstances are so bad, but whenever he gets something good, he'll still send some to his master..."
Yan Bugui wasn't too surprised to hear this. He had long anticipated that Wang Canjun's excellent skills wouldn't be easily passed on to him, so before leaving, he had already put a few tickets and some money he had kept at the bottom of his trunk into his pocket.
After hearing his explanation, he said, "I understand the principle. Name your price for joining the army."
Wang Canjun had no intention of taking advantage of Yan Bugui; besides, Yan Bugui's fishing skills were truly lacking, and he had no opportunity to do so even if he wanted to.
But seeing him say that, he said, "Third Uncle, look at what you're saying. I'm not a money-grubber. Besides, with our relationship, why would I take your money?"
Yan Bugui felt relieved upon hearing this and said with genuine admiration, "I knew you weren't that kind of person."
Wang Canjun said, "But there are rules too. A teacher for a day is a father for life. You are a teacher, so you should understand the principle of respecting teachers. Since you have accepted me as your teacher, you should call me Master from now on. I will just call you Xiao Yan."
Yan Bugui felt a headache coming on. He thought to himself, "I am the dignified manager of the courtyard, and also an elder. You call me Master, and I call you Little Yan. Isn't this a mess? How can I put my face when outsiders hear this?"
But what Military Advisor Wang said was correct and couldn't be refuted.
So he had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Wang Canjun added, "Also, I've taught you the techniques, so every time you catch a big fish, I'll give you half of it."
"And..." Wang Canjun emphasized, "From now on, your catch will be distributed like this: I'll go first, then you. That is to say, the first fish you catch will go to me, your master, and then the ones you catch next will go to you, your apprentice. For example, if you only catch one fish today, then you won't get anything."
Yan Bugui was taken aback. He thought to himself, "This kid is really shrewd. I thought he was honest and didn't take anything, but he's just waiting for this."
In this era of scarcity, money isn't everything, and tickets can't buy everything, but if you have material possessions, then you have everything.
Yan Bugui thought to himself, "This kid is not only shrewd, but also incredibly cunning. Now I'm really his apprentice—no, I should say his long-term laborer."
Once I agree, he'll tie me down for life. Every time I catch a fish, I'll have to give him half. I'll be sucked dry for the rest of my life. This is outrageous.
Yan Bugui frowned and pondered.
But soon, he had an idea.
He thought, "I'll agree to this kid's request now, and once I've mastered the skills, I can easily go back on my word."
Anyway, since there was no apprenticeship ceremony, no written agreement, and it's not legally recognized, this matter is not legally binding.
Besides, this is something only heaven, earth, he, and I know. As long as he denies it to the death, no one can accuse him of breaking the rules.
Thinking of this, he put on a cheerful expression and said, "Okay, it's settled then."
"Yes," Wang Canjun nodded.
Then, he squatted down on the ground and asked Yan Bugui to bring him his fishing gear.
Once the two were together, Wang, the military advisor, adopted the air of a division commander, his face serious and earnest, and began his persuasive maneuvering.
He originally intended to share some of his fishing skills and experience from his previous life with Yan Bugui, but he knew that these things wouldn't fool an experienced angler like Yan Bugui; he had to offer something truly valuable.
But he didn't actually have the real thing, so he made up some random things.
Yan Bugui listened with interest, nodding frequently and secretly memorizing the material, preparing to try it out after he finished learning it.
The techniques Wang Canjun described weren't too outrageous, nor would they mislead Yan Bugui or affect his normal fishing skills.
Wang Canjun felt he could give the old man a little something, otherwise the old man wouldn't respect his master in the future.
Furthermore, any fish caught by his apprentice must be at least half the price of the fish caught by the master.
Having just become an apprentice and learned his skills, Yan Bugui wouldn't be so quick to turn his back on him.
After all, he's a primary school teacher; he has his pride too. As for him going back on his word later, that's fine too.
Because he hadn't learned the techniques at all, even without Wang Canjun, Yan Bugui still couldn't catch any big fish.
So Wang Canjun used his X-ray vision to find a body of water with lots of fish, then ordered Yan Bugui to chisel a large hole in the ice, and then pointed out the depth to cast the line. The master and apprentice then started fishing together.
Wang Canjun has X-ray vision; he can insert the fishhook into the fish's mouth, so fishing is not difficult for him.
As long as the fish in the river don't disappear, he won't suffer the embarrassment of returning empty-handed.
He caught two big fish in a row. Yan Bugui was excited, envious, and full of anticipation. He thought to himself, "I have the skills now, and I'm fishing in the same ice hole. If I still can't catch anything, I can only blame my poor comprehension or bad luck."
Suddenly, his fish stirred, which excited him. He quickly gripped the fishing rod with both hands, his hands trembling. Experience told him that this was a big one.
Sure enough, the moment the fish bobbed, he jerked the rod up, and a plump, foot-long silver carp was pulled out of the water.
Yan Bugui had been fishing for many years, but he had never caught such a big fish before. He was as excited as a child, afraid that the fish would get away from the hook. He lunged forward and held the fish down firmly.
Then, when he lifted the fish to show it off and flaunt it to the other anglers nearby, Wang Canjun snatched it away and glared at him, scolding, "Alright, can't you be a little more discreet?"
Then he put the big silver carp into his fish basket.
Yan Bugui paused upon seeing this, wanting to say something but then stopping himself.
He recalled the rule set by Military Advisor Wang: the master goes first, the apprentice later.
The first fish he caught should rightfully belong to Wang Canjun.
Just as Yan Bugui was feeling frustrated, the system notification sounded on Wang Canjun's end: "Ding! Yan Bugui tried to get the host to use fishing skills he didn't even know existed, but he ended up being tricked by the host and even working for the host. The host has come out on top and is the winner. You are now receiving a reward."

Chapter 24: All the big fish caught went to Wang Canjun, leaving Yan Bugui heartbroken.
"Ding! The reward is thirty yuan and a sewing ticket."
"Ding! All rewards have been sent to your system space. Please check them promptly."
Hearing about the system's rewards, Wang Canjun was overjoyed; it was a double win!
Yan Bugui looked dejected, but he didn't say anything. He continued to bury himself in fishing, thinking that if he caught a big fish, it would be his.
However, after Wang Canjun caught three more big fish, Yan Bugui's second fish still didn't bite the hook.
He looked at Wang Canjun with a dejected and bewildered expression, and said with a bitter face, "Canjun, why can you hook so many fish at once? I haven't caught a single one in ages. The difference is too big. Are you holding back from me?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Canjun smiled and said, "Otherwise, why would I be the master and you the apprentice?"
Take that master and apprentice pair in our compound, for example.
Jia Dongxu apprenticed under Yi Zhonghai and studied in the fitter's workshop for over two years. He's still a first-class worker. Can you really say that Yi Zhonghai held back some of his fitter skills and didn't teach him everything?
Yan Bugui was speechless upon hearing this.
It wasn't that what Military Advisor Wang said made sense; rather, he simply dared not refute it.
Because if he refuted this, it would be tantamount to admitting that Master Yi Zhonghai was unfair, held back when teaching his disciple, and hadn't been truly dedicated to Jia Dongxu. If Wang Canjun relayed these words to Yi Zhonghai, wouldn't Yi Zhonghai hate Yan Bugui for life?
Yan Bugui didn't reply, turned his head away dejectedly, and continued fishing.
Unexpectedly, luck turned around shortly afterward.
A fish took the bait! Yan Bugui excitedly lifted the rod, and a fish was cast ashore.
However, upon seeing the fish, Yan Bugui's excitement was greatly diminished.
Because the fish was a bit small, half the size of the one he caught last time, only about the size of his palm.
It's alright that the fish is small.
The key point is, this belongs to him.
That's incredibly bad luck.
"Sigh, I'm so unlucky," Yan Bugui muttered dejectedly as he put the fish into his basket.
Upon hearing this, Wang Canjun smiled knowingly and said meaningfully, "So, Xiao Yan, it's not that I'm a bad teacher, it's just that you've had bad luck. In the future, be more generous and less calculating in your dealings with others, and your luck will naturally improve."
Yan Bugui grew increasingly frustrated. He'd only ever been called "Little Yan" by his parents when he was a child. To be addressed as "Little Yan" by a junior like Wang Canjun, and then subjected to a lecture, was unacceptable.
Unfortunately, there was nothing to refute, so it's no wonder they felt frustrated.
Next, Wang Canjun caught several more big fish, this time seven or eight, totaling dozens or even hundreds of kilograms, similar to his previous catch.
He decided to stop fishing.
The main problem was that he caught too many fish, attracting a large crowd of anglers and passersby, all eyeing his catch with covetous intent.
If we keep fishing like this, something bad is likely to happen.
So when Yan Bugui caught another big fish, he helped him remove the hook very attentively, put it into his own fish basket, and then reeled in his fishing rod, ready to leave.
Yan Bugui became even more frustrated upon seeing this, but he didn't know what to say.
The first and third fish he caught should rightfully belong to Wang Canjun; that's the rule.
Unfortunately, both of these fish were over a foot long.
The second fish, which should rightfully belong to me, was a tiny fish, no bigger than my palm.
Who can I complain to about this bad luck?
"Hey, no, you're leaving now, are you going to join the army?" Yan Bugui said anxiously when he saw that Wang Canjun was about to leave.
Wang Canjun stopped and turned around, his face displeased as he rebuked, "Xiao Yan, how did you address me?"
Yan Bugui could only say, "Ahem, Master, are you not going to fish anymore?"
"Well, I have something to do today. I need to deliver these fish I caught to a distinguished person. I'm afraid that if I delay too long, the fish will die and won't be fresh," Wang Canjun said seriously.
"A benefactor?" Yan Bugui was astonished. Could Wang Canjun, a street urchin, really have a benefactor?
If he really had a powerful backer, would he be a street urchin?
But then he thought about it again and seemed to understand. The benefactor that Wang Canjun mentioned must be the person who taught him fishing techniques.
Otherwise, how could this kid, who had never fished before, suddenly possess such incredible fishing skills?
Without someone pointing it out, he would never believe it, even if you beat him to death.
"Alright, go ahead then," Yan Bugui said, secretly pleased. He thought to himself that once the kid was gone, he wouldn't have to give him any more fish he caught. At that moment, he was actually hoping the kid would leave.
When Wang Canjun said he wanted to give the fish to his benefactor, he wasn't entirely trying to fool Yan Bugui.
He genuinely intended to give it away, but he couldn't be called a benefactor; he was simply a good person.
This person is Director Wang from the neighborhood office.
Several times before, when he was almost starving, he went to see this Director Wang, who gave him some relief food.
On one occasion, he generously donated food to help him through a difficult time.
Now that he has something good, he naturally wants to give back.
Of course, he had other considerations as well.
Although his life is better than before, he still doesn't have complete influence in the compound.
Especially lately, he's been eating lavish meals every day, which has made many residents envious and resentful of him.
If this continues, it will definitely cause trouble. He has no parents, no brothers or sisters, and only Qin Huairu and Yu Li are his lovers. However, they may not be on his side when it really matters.
Even if they were on the same side as him, given that kind of relationship, they wouldn't dare openly help him.
One grasshopper can't make a sound; if he wants to get by in the compound, he'll have to find another backer.
The subdistrict office is the direct administrative unit of the compound. As long as you get along well with Director Wang of the subdistrict office, no one will dare to touch him.
Also, he wanted to find a job through Director Wang.
The system rewards and his skill should have been enough to ensure he had enough to eat and drink, but to live a truly comfortable life, he still needed a legitimate source of income.
These days, you can only get a ration of food after you have a job.
Relying solely on fishing as a pretext is ultimately unsustainable; how many fish are there for you to catch in Beijing?
Besides, buying and selling is not allowed in this era. You might occasionally trade fish for other things without anyone saying anything, but over time, people might start to suspect you.
If someone reports you, they will naturally investigate you, and that will cause a lot of trouble. So it's very necessary to find a job.
Of course, if the job were easy and flexible, like Jia Dongxu carrying iron blocks in a steel rolling mill, he wouldn't do it either.

Chapter 25 Director Wang's daughter is a great beauty!
After leaving Shishahai, Wang Canjun found a secluded spot and put all his fishing gear and the big fish he had caught into his spatial storage.
He hasn't finished eating the fish he caught last time; he's keeping them all in the pond in the center of the space.
He walked to the edge of the pond, squatted down, and put all the fish from the basket into the pond. Then he picked out the two largest fish, held them in his hand, and prepared to give them to Director Wang.
Wang Canjun had visited Director Wang's home once and knew where it was located.
Director Wang's family is an old household in Beijing, living in a quiet alley with their own courtyard.
He arrived at the gate of Director Wang's house, found it closed, and knocked.
Soon, the door opened.
The person who opened the door wasn't Director Wang, nor her husband, but a young woman in her early twenties, who was very beautiful.
He was tall, about the same height as Wang Canjun, with an upright posture, his back and neck ramrod straight, and a high nose bridge, giving him a very distinguished air.
She was wearing a green military uniform, and with that posture, she looked incredibly dashing.
She had fair skin, delicate features, and her two bright, sparkling eyes blinked as she scrutinized Wang Canjun.
This girl was a complete stranger; I had never seen her before.
However, Wang, the military advisor, could roughly guess that she was Director Wang's daughter, because she bore a resemblance to Director Wang.
Moreover, I heard that she was a soldier, and I could tell from her military uniform and posture that it was most likely her.
"Comrade, who are you looking for?" the girl asked curiously.
"Uh, I'm looking for Director Wang," Wang Canjun said with a smile, explaining his purpose.
"Mom, someone's looking for you," the girl shouted into the room.
Then he said to Wang Canjun, "Come in."
Since he still had work to discuss, Wang Canjun didn't stand on ceremony, stepped over the threshold, and entered the courtyard.
Soon, Director Wang came out of the house. After a careful look, he saw that it was Wang Canjun, who was carrying two fish. He was taken aback and asked, "Wang Canjun, what's this?"
Wang Canjun waved the fish in his hand and said with a smile, "Aunt Wang, I caught quite a few fish today. I'll bring you two over."
Director Wang was deeply moved upon hearing this. Last week, the story of Wang Canjun catching dozens, even hundreds of kilograms of fish in Shisha Sea had caused quite a stir. She had heard about it herself, but the version she heard was that a young man had caught a fish weighing over a hundred kilograms; she didn't know it was Wang Canjun.
"Last Sunday I heard that a young man caught a lot of big fish in Shisha Sea and joined the army. Could it be you?" Director Wang asked with shining eyes.
"Yes, it's me." Wang Canjun naturally dared not hide anything from Director Wang, and besides, there was no need to. As he spoke, he handed the fish to Director Wang.
Upon hearing this, Director Wang immediately showed a look of admiration.
At first, she thought people were exaggerating, but now that she saw the foot-long fish in Wang Canjun's hand and heard him admit it himself, she naturally believed it.
She still had a look of satisfaction on her face. Wang Canjun's ability to catch fish surprised and delighted him.
Wang Canjun is an orphan, an infantile paralyzed man, and has no proper job. He is quite pitiful and pathetic. If he can support himself with his own abilities, that would be a blessing for him.
"How many did you catch this time?" Director Wang asked again without taking the fish.
"It must weigh about a hundred pounds," Wang Canjun said with a hearty smile, appearing quite happy.
Upon hearing this, the pretty girl standing nearby widened her beautiful eyes, her mouth slightly agape, and exclaimed in surprise, "A hundred or so pounds? You can really catch that many?"
It wasn't that she lacked experience; it was just that the fish were difficult to catch.
If everyone could be like Wang Canjun, catching hundreds of pounds of big, fat fish in a single day, then no one would go hungry.
Besides, if that were the case, all the fish in Beijing would have been caught long ago.
Her father would go fishing in Shisha Sea in his spare time, but he always came back empty-handed and complained that the fish were hard to catch.
Wang Canjun looked at the girl and nodded.
Director Wang chuckled, "Oh, you're joining the army? Let me introduce you. This is my daughter, Luo Xiuzhen."
Then he said to his daughter, "Xiuzhen, his name is Wang Canjun, and he lives in a courtyard house in Nanluoguxiang."
"Hello, Sister Xiuzhen." Wang Canjun had a sweet tongue; it's perfectly normal to be a little sweet-talking when you see a pretty girl. It wasn't that he was deliberately trying to curry favor with Director Wang.
"Hello," Luo Xiuzhen said, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons as she smiled, "So you're quite the fishing expert!"
"It's just about making a living, nothing prestigious," Wang Canjun said with a modest smile.
Then he handed the fish to Director Wang, saying, "Aunt Wang, this is for you, a small token of my appreciation. I hope you won't refuse."
"You should take this back with you. Your family is struggling financially, and you don't have a job. How can your aunt accept anything from you?" Director Wang said.
"I have plenty more at home, so please don't be shy," Wang Canjun said, placing the fish directly on the ground.
Seeing that he insisted on giving it to him, Director Wang picked the fish up from the ground and handed it to her daughter to take inside.
"By the way, I asked, 'Soldier, you catch so many fish every time, can you finish them all?'"
Military Advisor Wang said, "We can't finish it."
"Is it easy to handle?"
"It's not easy to handle."
"How about this, you take it to the neighborhood office. We're short of supplies right now, and I'll have someone exchange it for coupons for you at the right price."
Upon hearing this, Wang Canjun's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly, "Agreed."
Selling fish to the neighborhood committee is much better than taking it to the pigeon market; at least that way it's aboveboard and no one can find fault with it.
"Aunt Wang, thank you so much," said Military Advisor Wang.
Then, thinking about work, she said, "Aunt Wang, I'd like to find a job. Could you help me?"
"Hmm, joining the army, even if you hadn't mentioned it, I had already considered it. You need to have a proper job."
Director Wang frowned, her face grave. "However, there's a shortage of work right now, and Auntie can't assign you jobs like street sweeping..."
By the way, if you're joining the army, what kind of job are you looking for? Tell me so I can keep an eye out for you…
Wang Canjun thought to himself, "My predecessor had neither education nor skills, and he was also unlucky in appearance. He wouldn't be welcomed anywhere."
To be honest, it's quite difficult to ask Director Wang to find me a job that's both easy and flexible, so I gave up my previous plan and said, "I'd like something more flexible, where I can go fishing in my spare time."
"Okay, I'll keep an eye out for you," Director Wang said.
She thought to herself that this child hadn't worked for so many years and had been running around outside, so it was understandable that he wanted a job with more freedom.
It's just that with his situation, it's hard for him to find a job.
"No rush, take your time looking. I can still support myself."
"Hmm," Director Wang nodded, pointed to the house and said, "Come in, have lunch at home."
"No, Aunt Wang, I have to go."
"Okay, then let your sister Xiuzhen see you off."
When Director Wang saw his daughter put down the fish and walk over from the kitchen, he asked her to deliver it for him.
It would normally be inconvenient for a lone man and woman to be alone, but Military Advisor Wang was impotent.
Therefore, she had no concerns.

Chapter 26 Luo Xiuzhen's Intention to Get Closer, Yi Zhonghai's Schemes and Machinations
Wang Canjun did not refuse, mainly because she was not immune to pretty girls.
So he nodded without hesitation, and gave Luo Xiuzhen an apologetic smile, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Sister Xiuzhen."
"No trouble at all," Luo Xiuzhen waved her small, slender white hand, looking quite pleased.
She strode forward, her long legs carrying her, and opened the door a little wider.
Then, he went out with Wang Canjun.
We got outside.
Wang Canjun became bolder.
Turning his head to stare at Luo Xiuzhen's delicate and beautiful profile, he asked, "Sister Xiuzhen, are you a soldier?"
"Yes, I served in the army," Luo Xiuzhen said. "I just finished my service. Now I'm unemployed at home."
Wang Canjun said with envy, "A veteran like you, with a well-off family, could have any good job you wanted."
"Yes," Luo Xiuzhen nodded, not being modest, "My dad works at the Public Security Bureau, he's helping me with the arrangements…"
"From now on, I'll have to call you Officer Luo," Wang Canjun said with a smile.
Luo Xiuzhen's pretty eyes flashed, and she said with a smile, "Heh, are you joking or flattering me?"
"Of course it's flattery," said Military Advisor Wang. "I couldn't even manage to curry favor with him if I wanted to."
"Alright, stop talking," Luo Xiuzhen waved her hand. "My situation isn't as good as you make it out to be."
After speaking, Luo Xiuzhen lowered her head sadly, her pretty brows furrowed, as if painful memories had been stirred up.
Seeing that the conversation wasn't going very well, Wang Canjun said, "Alright, Sister Xiuzhen, that's enough for now. My house is just a short walk from here; you can take me all the way home."
"If it's delivered to my door, then so be it. I have nothing to do at home anyway, it's pretty boring."
After Luo Xiuzhen finished speaking, she sighed, then took a deep breath and exhaled.
"Then you should go out more often and not stay cooped up at home all the time," said Wang Canjun.
Luo Xiuzhen nodded, staring at Wang Canjun, and said, "When you go fishing again, could you take me with you? I want to see how you fish."
She finished speaking with an expectant look on her face.
Wang Canjun was a little excited and quickly nodded, "Okay."
This woman is so beautiful, he has no reason to refuse her.
But after agreeing, he felt it wasn't right, so he frowned and said, "It's just not very convenient."
"What's inconvenient about it?" Luo Xiuzhen said dismissively.
In those days, people were still relatively conservative in their thinking. If a man and a woman went fishing together alone, there was no guarantee that there wouldn't be gossip.
But Wang, the military advisor, couldn't say it outright, only saying, "I'm afraid Uncle Luo and Aunt Wang won't agree."
"Tch, Military Advisor Wang, you're overthinking it. It's just fishing, not dating," Luo Xiuzhen said dismissively.
"Uh, okay then," Wang, the military advisor, replied. "I'll call you next time we go fishing."
"It's settled then." Luo Xiuzhen immediately beamed with joy.
Looking at Luo Xiuzhen's radiant smile, Wang Canjun couldn't help but think, "Holy crap, holy crap!"
But he quickly lost his excitement.
He's not a naive kid anymore; he can see reality clearly.
Although his impotence is now cured, he is still aware of the gap between himself and Luo Xiuzhen.
Luo Xiuzhen's father is the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, and her mother is the director of the neighborhood office. What kind of family is this!
What kind of family do I come from?
The difference is too great!
Furthermore, if he were to marry Luo Xiuzhen, a daughter from a wealthy family, he would have to set his mind on her and treat her with utmost devotion.
It's impossible for him to have affairs outside the marriage anymore.
But with his enhanced Lao Ai physique, could one woman satisfy him?
No, that's not possible.
From any perspective, it's clear that neither of them has a chance.
But Luo Xiuzhen was just too beautiful, and Wang, the military advisor, couldn't bear to give her up.
Damn it, why did I have to meet her?!
Wang Canjun returned to the compound with mixed feelings. As soon as he entered the gate, he saw the second and third aunts whispering to each other.
Wang Canjun wanted to lean closer and listen to what was going on.
Upon hearing footsteps, the two quickly fell silent.
Auntie Er stared at Wang Canjun and said, "Oh, our little fishing expert is back! Canjun, where are the fish you caught today?"
Knowing that word of his catch had spread, Wang, the military advisor, didn't hide it and quickly said, "I gave it away."
"Who did you give it to?"
"It was given to my benefactor."
"Who is your benefactor?" Auntie Er asked curiously.
"I won't tell you," Wang Canjun said, and went home.
After entering the house and sitting down in a chair, I felt inexplicably uneasy.
So I lit a cigarette to calm my nerves.
He always felt that someone in the compound was targeting him, as if they were plotting something, or rather, carrying out a conspiracy.
So he activated his X-ray vision to see if the people in the compound were behaving unusually.
He first looked at Yi Zhonghai's house.
Yi Zhonghai, as the eldest son in charge of the hospital, held the most authority.
And he is most likely to betray himself.
Even if someone wants to mess with him, they have to get his permission first. In short, Yi Zhonghai is crucial.
Yi Zhonghai was not home.
His gaze instinctively swept towards the Jia family's residence, and he immediately spotted Yi Zhonghai.
At this moment, Yi Zhonghai was seen sitting on a chair inside the Jia family's house, while Qin Huairu was coaxing a child in the courtyard.
Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhangshi stood around him, talking to him. He couldn't hear what they were saying, but he could clearly see their expressions.
The mother and son initially looked angry and aggrieved, but then their expressions turned pitiful and pleading, clearly trying to complain to him and ask him for a favor.
Military Advisor Wang suspected it was bad news.
At this moment, Yi Zhonghai got up, walked out with the mother and son seeing him off, and then went straight to the front yard, eventually heading towards his own home.
Wang Canjun was deeply moved, becoming even more certain of his premonition: Yi Zhonghai was plotting against him, and this matter was definitely related to the Jia family.
He felt a little guilty about his affair with Qin Huairu.
However, he thought that if this matter were to come to light, Qin Huairu would probably have been beaten beyond recognition, and she wouldn't be unscathed.
Just then, Yi Zhonghai walked into the room.
Wang Canjun didn't even turn his head, completely ignoring Yi Zhonghai's arrival.
Upon seeing this, Yi Zhonghai paused, recalling his encounter with Wang Canjun at the public side gate last time. The young man had been incredibly respectful and polite to him. Comparing this to his current attitude, it was clear that the previous display of respect was feigned; he was deliberately insulting him.
But a week has passed, and there's no point in bringing it up again.
Besides, he has other plans, so let's not dwell on this for now.
So he suppressed his anger, coughed twice, trying to get Wang Canjun's attention so that he could greet him first.
Wang Canjun glanced at Yi Zhonghai, smiled knowingly, and said, "Hey old man, is there something wrong with your throat?"
"No, kid, how can you talk like that? My throat is perfectly fine," Yi Zhonghai said, rolling his eyes in annoyance.
"Then why do you keep coughing?" Wang Canjun asked irritably.
Yi Zhonghai was stunned. It was one thing for this kid to ignore him, but he even made fun of him, showing him absolutely no respect. He deserved to die!
He couldn't help but scold, "Wang Canjun, I think you're becoming more and more ignorant of etiquette. As the elder in charge of the compound, and a senior member of the family, when I come to your house, shouldn't you stand up and greet me?"
Wang Canjun sneered, "Yi Zhonghai, I remember last winter, around this time, my family ran out of food and I was starving. I went to your house to ask for your help, but you sat there without even standing up to say a word to me. In the end, an old woman dismissed me."
Yi Zhonghai was taken aback. He hadn't expected Wang, the military advisor, to bring up old grievances, but they were true, and he couldn't refute them.
At this point, all I could do was make up an excuse, "I was drunk at the time, and besides, your aunt and I are a couple, so she can represent me."
"Uh, really? Yi Zhonghai, as the old man in charge of the courtyard, you had money to buy wine back then, but not money to help a person who was about to starve to death."
Yi Zhonghai was taken aback upon hearing this, but he quickly found an excuse, "Uh, the drinking that day was paid for by Jia Dongxu, not by me."
"No way," Wang Canjun sneered. "I remember after that old lady refused me, I went to the Jia family to borrow grain, but I still couldn't get any. Jia Dongxu has money to buy wine, so why doesn't he have money to lend me grain?"
Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai paused again, looking Wang Canjun up and down with utter astonishment.
This Military Advisor Wang used to be a quiet, reserved person; how did he become so eloquent and quick-witted?
Furthermore, his mind works too fast. He just managed to clear himself of any involvement, but unexpectedly dragged Jia Dongxu into it.
The crucial point is that this detour ruined everything.
His purpose in coming today was to use his status as a powerful figure to intimidate Military Advisor Wang and force him to give up the fish he had caught to help the Jia family.
But now that things have come to this, how can he possibly bring it up?!

Chapter 27: Wang Canjun gains the ability to "hear a thousand miles," infuriating Yi Zhonghai.
But since he had already come all this way, Yi Zhonghai couldn't possibly leave empty-handed. The Jia family mother and son had begged him for ages, and he figured that if he returned empty-handed, given their nature, they would pester him again without getting anything in return.
He frowned and said, "Well, joining the army, it's all in the past, let's not talk about it anymore. People can't always look back, they have to look forward, don't you think?"
Wang Canjun ignored him, took out a cigarette, lit it, took a leisurely puff, and said coldly, "Yi Zhonghai, if there's nothing else, you can go back."
Yi Zhonghai was furious that Wang Canjun wouldn't even let him smoke, and that Wang was trying to kick him out before he could even bring up anything.
But remembering his purpose, he suppressed his anger and said with a forced smile, "Joining the army? I really do have something to do."
Wang, the military advisor, showed no mercy and coldly said, "Speak quickly if you have something to say, or shut up if you have something to say."
Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai froze again, his face turning ashen, almost like a liver.
But he could only suppress his anger and said, "Commander, I heard you caught another fish weighing over a hundred pounds today?"
Wang Canjun nodded. "That's right."
Yi Zhonghai then asked, "Why don't I see a single one?"
Wang, the military advisor, said, "They've been given away."
Yi Zhonghai said, "Cadre, I'm not trying to criticize you, but if you have something good, you should give some to the elders in the compound. That way, if you ever have any trouble in the future, they can lend a helping hand. Giving it to an outsider... that's just too childish of you."
Wang Canjun sneered, "I gave them fish because they helped me before. When I was starving, they gave me their own food. No one in the compound has ever helped me, so why should I give them fish?"
Yi Zhonghai paused again upon hearing this, but showed no surprise.
In truth, he knew in his heart that it wouldn't be easy to swindle Wang Canjun's fish.
If this kid really wanted to give it to him, he would have done so last Sunday after his harvest; he wouldn't have waited until now.
He was just testing the waters, trying to ascertain the kid's final attitude.
Now that he said that, she gave up hope, but she was still very unwilling.
Then he asked, "Zanjun, you had two big catches both times you went fishing, at least two hundred catties, right? You definitely couldn't eat them all yourself, and even if you gave them away, you couldn't give them all away. What did you do with the rest?"
"Heh, Yi Zhonghai, you're really meddling in other people's business. May I ask, are you from the Public Security Bureau? Are you investigating me here?" Wang Canjun sneered.
When Yi Zhonghai realized he couldn't get any information out of him, his expression turned exceptionally gloomy, like weather about to rain.
He snorted coldly and said, "Fine, I see you've grown too big for your britches and won't listen to your elders anymore. Well, I'm too lazy to bother with you anymore. You'd better watch yourself..."
After saying this, Yi Zhonghai glared fiercely at Wang Canjun, then turned and left.
As soon as Yi Zhonghai stepped out the door, the system notification sounded, "Ding! When faced with Yi Zhonghai's intimidation, the host remained fearless and displayed great wisdom and courage, ultimately thwarting his conspiracy and becoming the winner, and receiving a reward."
"Ding! The reward is 'Hearing a Thousand Miles'."
"Ding! A reward is now being awarded to the host. Please prepare accordingly."
The next moment, a surge of energy poured into him, splitting into two. The two streams of energy entered his ears respectively, gently quenching them like a weak electric current, and then stopped.
"Ding! The host has acquired 'Hearing a Thousand Miles Away', which can be controlled with a thought. Once the skill is activated, one can hear a thousand miles away."
Wang Canjun's face lit up with surprise. He thought to himself, "This skill is great! It perfectly compensates for the limitation of X-ray vision, which allows me to see but not hear."
With this skill, from now on, whether in this compound or elsewhere, within a thousand miles, there will be no secrets left for him.
Thinking about it this way, I felt an immense sense of anticipation and wanted to try it.
The moment the thought crossed his mind, his hearing increased dramatically. The previously quiet place suddenly became noisy, with all sorts of sounds entering his ears.
He controlled it with his mind, his hearing closely following Yi Zhonghai, and at the same time, he activated his X-ray vision to keep a close eye on Yi Zhonghai's movements.
After leaving the front yard, Yi Zhonghai went straight back to the Jia family's residence in the middle courtyard.
He sat down in the Jia family's chair, looking both frustrated and angry, and then explained the situation.
Upon hearing this, the Jia family mother and son gritted their teeth and cursed Wang Canjun for being ungrateful, heartless, and a complete ingrate... In short, they unleashed all sorts of baseless insults and then pinned many fabricated charges on him.
Then, with a sinister look on his face, he urged Yi Zhonghai to convene a hospital-wide meeting to criticize and denounce Wang Canjun.
Yi Zhonghai's face was gloomy, his eyes flashing with an imperceptible cunning and ferocity.
At this moment, he lowered his voice, his face full of cunning, and instructed the mother and son, "Sister-in-law Jia, go outside and find out where that Wang Canjun's fish went... I think he must have sold it to the pigeon market."
Dongxu, from now on, keep a close eye on that Military Advisor Wang. If you can catch him red-handed, that would be great.
Once the charges against him are confirmed, a full-scale public denunciation meeting will be held to criticize him, and then it will be perfectly justifiable to confiscate what he traded the fish for."
Upon hearing this, the Jia family mother and son immediately nodded in agreement, giving Yi Zhonghai a thumbs-up and praising him profusely.
"Your grandpa is truly brilliant!"
"As expected of my master, he's truly amazing!"

What does it mean when Luo Xiuzhen changes clothes in Chapter 28?
Meanwhile, Wang, the military advisor, was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
Yi Zhonghai, the dignified steward of the courtyard, not only failed to act impartially but also sided with the Jia family, repeatedly plotting against him, an orphan. Now, they even wanted to use his crimes to hold a courtyard-wide meeting to criticize and denounce him.
Seeing the three men conspiring and plotting against each other, Military Advisor Wang could no longer sit idly by and wait for his doom.
Although he didn't sell his fish to the pigeon market, he couldn't explain himself if higher-ups came to investigate.
Before they could take action, Wang, the military advisor, immediately made a decision.
He stubbed out his cigarette, entered the spatial dimension, scooped all the fish out of the spatial pond, and put them into a urea bag.
Then, I immediately went out and went straight to the neighborhood office.
As he neared his destination, he ducked into a dead-end alley, decisively retrieved a bag of fish, and carried it to the neighborhood office.
I offered a cigarette to the gatekeeper and explained why I was there.
Everyone knows that material resources are scarce in this era.
Although the gatekeeper wasn't a permanent employee, he was well-informed about the affairs of the neighborhood committee.
Seeing the young man bring over the fish, they knew it was good news and immediately reported it inside.
Just then, Director Wang was also at the office. Upon hearing this, he hurried out and welcomed Wang Canjun inside.
The neighborhood office didn't have many staff members, and when they learned about the situation and that they were in for a treat, they were overjoyed and praised Wang Canjun, this expert fisherman, highly.
While pouring Wang Canjun a glass of water, Director Wang quickly instructed his men to weigh Wang Canjun's fish and exchange it for various ration coupons for daily necessities at market prices.
Taking the opportunity, Wang Canjun also revealed some information about the situation in the compound to Director Wang, including the conspiracy between Yi Zhonghai and the Jia family to scheme against him for fish.
Director Wang was furious upon hearing this, but Yi Zhonghai usually acted with an air of righteousness, pretending to be a perfect gentleman and moral exemplar in front of Director Wang, so Director Wang couldn't completely believe Wang Canjun's one-sided story.
Besides, Wang Canjun hadn't found any evidence, and Director Wang couldn't very well step in to reprimand him.
He simply reassured her, "Don't worry about joining the army. Your fishing is perfectly legal and legitimate; you're doing it on your own merit. It's also perfectly legal and legitimate for you to sell your fish to the neighborhood committee. Even if they want to find fault with you, they won't be able to find anything to hold against you."
"Okay, Aunt Wang, I'm relieved to hear you say that," Wang Canjun also wanted to inform Director Wang first, so that she would have a clear understanding of the situation and wouldn't be at a loss if he really got into a serious fight with Yi Zhonghai and the Jia family.
"Well, also, finding a job isn't something that happens overnight. Since you're good at fishing, you should be more diligent and catch more fish."
If the neighborhood office can't handle it, you can take it to the police station.
I told your Uncle Luo about this at lunch today. All the police stations are short of supplies. They're not worried about not having a place to process the fish, they're just worried that you won't be able to catch that many."
Director Wang said with a look of satisfaction.
Wang Canjun's success in catching such a big fish is a good thing for both himself and the various government agencies involved; it's a win-win situation.
Hearing this, Wang Canjun felt even more reassured.
No matter the era, the police force has always been a powerful department.
Even if there are flaws or problems in the cooperation, there's no need to be afraid.
Let me ask you this: Yi Zhonghai is just an old man in charge of a compound, not even a formally employed staff member. How can he possibly compete with public officials?
He doesn't have the guts!
Wang Canjun smiled happily, his face beaming with excitement, and said, "Aunt Wang, I will do my best."
"Yes, young people should have a fighting spirit," Director Wang encouraged.
Wang Canjun nodded vigorously, looking full of enthusiasm.
Then, seeing that only the two of them were left in the office, he whispered, "Aunt Wang, there's something I need to ask you about."
"Just tell me what you need, no need for asking for instructions." Director Wang was in a good mood and waved his hand.
Seeing this, Wang Canjun knew that bringing up this matter now was the perfect opportunity; even if Director Wang disagreed, he wouldn't get angry.
So he said, "It's Sister Xiuzhen. When she saw me off today, she suggested we go fishing together. Do you think that's appropriate?"
Director Wang was taken aback and asked, "Just fishing?"
Wang Canjun said, "It's just fishing."
"Well, what's wrong with that?" Director Wang said. "Her classmates and friends are all married or working, but she… she's retired from the military and stays at home, with no one to hang out with. She's getting really bored, almost to the point of getting sick. She really needs to go out and get some exercise…"
Besides, fishing is a great sport, and it would be a good thing if she could develop a liking for it."
Look, when people are knowledgeable and hold high positions, their perspectives and thoughts are just different!
If you said that to the people in the compound, it would probably be, "Playing with birds will bankrupt three generations, fishing will ruin your life."
"Hey, hey," Wang Canjun chuckled憨厚ly, at this moment he really dared not show the slightest bit of sleazyness.
At this moment, a young staff member from the neighborhood office came over, told Wang Canjun the weight of the fish after weighing it, quoted a price, and asked Wang Canjun if he was satisfied.
Wang Canjun had already made a rough estimate in his mind. Seeing that the weight of the fish was not much different from his estimate and the price was slightly higher than the market price, he nodded decisively and then took the money and tickets handed over.
He glanced at it and stuffed it into his pocket.
This money and the tickets are enough for his expenses for two months.
Then, I said goodbye to Director Wang and left.
He hadn't had lunch yet, and was too lazy to go home and cook. Having money and coupons, he decided to go to a restaurant and have a big meal.
After eating and drinking my fill, I found a secluded corner, took out my fishing gear, and went straight to Director Wang's house.
I knocked on the door.
The door opened.
Luo Xiuzhen opened the door again.
When Luo Xiuzhen saw that it was Military Advisor Wang, and that he had brought fishing gear, she knew he had come to invite her to go fishing, and her face lit up with delight.
Without saying a word, he said directly, "Wait a moment, I'll go change my clothes."
Then she ran back inside to change into some casual clothes and came out.
Wang Canjun's eyes lit up when he saw her; this girl looked quite good even in civilian clothes.
Although she lacked some of her heroic spirit, she gained more of a girlish charm and gentleness.
Wang Canjun was so excited he kept saying "Holy crap!" but he said aloud, "Actually, you look good in your military uniform, why do you want to change it?"
"Uh, really?" Luo Xiuzhen smiled happily, somewhat surprised, "I thought you men didn't like women wearing military uniforms."
"No, I like it very much," Wang Canjun said sincerely.
"Let's go, we're not changing back. If you want to see it, I'll wear it again tomorrow." Luo Xiuzhen casually pulled Wang Canjun along, and the two of them went out together.
At this point, Luo Xiuzhen's mood noticeably improved, and she chatted and laughed the whole way.

Chapter 29: Wang Canjun Becomes the "Fishing God," Amazing Luo Xiuzhen
Soon, Wang Canjun discovered that Luo Xiuzhen was a person with a strong urge to confide in others. She seemed to have a lot of things on her mind that she wanted to tell someone, but she couldn't find anyone she could talk to, or rather, anyone she could trust.
She talked about her experiences during her school years and her time in the army...
soon.
The two arrived at Shishahai.
It was already past 2 p.m.
There are fewer people fishing than in the morning.
There aren't many tourists here.
Two successful fishing trips made Wang Canjun quite famous in Shishahai, earning him the nickname "Fishing God."
Knowing this, Wang Canjun was afraid of attracting more onlookers, so he kept a low profile and tried to find secluded spots as fishing locations, which were also places with plenty of fish.
Luo Xiuzhen came here partly to relax and partly to witness his superb fishing skills.
If he doesn't show off and catch a fish weighing a hundred or so pounds, it wouldn't make sense.
Once a suitable location was found, they began chiseling holes in the ice.
Without saying a word, Luo Xiuzhen immediately took action to help.
She found a large rock, grabbed it with one hand, and slammed it into the ice hole.
With a snap, the ice layer broke open, creating a hole about one meter square.
Seeing this, Wang Canjun looked on with an expression of admiration.
The stone that Luo Xiuzhen had just lifted must have weighed at least thirty kilograms. She picked it up with one hand, her movements swift and decisive, demonstrating her formidable strength.
I couldn't help but sigh inwardly; people who have served in the military are truly different. Luo Xiuzhen was clearly not the delicate type of girl.
At that moment, he thought, if he were to have sex with a female soldier like Luo Xiuzhen, she would probably be very strong and capable of fighting, right?
Is she able to match herself?
Could you last seven rounds under me?
Thinking about it this way, I felt a sense of anticipation.
Then he thought that to win the heart of such an outstanding woman, he had to show his own strengths and be even better than her. So he put extra effort into the fishing trip.
With the added advantage of X-ray vision, Wang Canjun frequently succeeded, catching one plump fish after another. Luo Xiuzhen watched in amazement, cheering and jumping for joy, her silvery laughter ringing out as she diligently helped him remove the hooks.
In less than half an hour, Wang Canjun had caught ten fish, all of them over a foot long.
In contrast, the other anglers didn't catch a single small fish, let alone any big ones.
In winter, the water is fertile, and the fish have plenty of food, so they don't bite the hook easily.
Moreover, the waters around Shishahai are wide and long, but there aren't many fish. If you can't see the distribution of the fish schools or find their precise locations, you'll only be fishing for nothing, even if you sit there all day.
Wang Canjun's successive catches of big fish inevitably aroused the envy of other anglers and attracted many passersby, who all came to watch.
Some wanted to buy his fish, others humbly sought his fishing tips, and still others simply believed he had a prime spot with abundant fish and wanted to fish through the ice hole.
In an instant, Wang Canjun was surrounded by people, becoming the center of attention.
Even Luo Xiuzhen, standing to the side, looked at him with fervent eyes and a hint of envy.
But Wang Canjun did not become arrogant because of this, and he refused all the requests he received.
After catching a few more fish, he noticed a crowd gathered around, which was affecting his performance and even his casting. This left him feeling both helpless and frustrated.
So he decisively reeled in the fish, called Luo Xiuzhen, and headed back.
On the way, Luo Xiuzhen kept scrutinizing Wang Canjun, as if trying to see right through him.
"Wang Canjun, I initially thought it was an exaggeration for you to catch so many fish in such a short time by yourself. It turns out you're even more amazing than I imagined."
"Hey? Who taught you your fishing skills?"
"There were no teachers, we all figured it out ourselves," Wang Canjun said with a simple smile.
"I was an orphan since I was a child, without parents to discipline me. To put it bluntly, I was just a street urchin, always hanging around outside. I was quite skilled at things like climbing trees to steal bird nests and fishing in rivers…"
"Oh, so your background is so pitiful," Luo Xiuzhen said, her gaze towards Wang Canjun now filled with pity.
It goes without saying how difficult those times were.
It was a miracle for orphans in those days to grow up; one can only imagine the hardships they endured.
When Wang Canjun heard Luo Xiuzhen say this, he knew that she didn't fully understand his situation, including his past impotence.
Director Wang probably didn't tell her either; it's clear he didn't want her to know.
Since that's the case, there's no need to reveal too much. With a faint smile, he steered the conversation back to fish.
He said, "Your mother told me to sell any more fish I catch to the police station, and to find your father. Is your father at work right now?"
"He's at work," Luo Xiuzhen nodded. "I'll take you there. I know his workplace well. It's better than you wandering around aimlessly."
"Oh, thank you so much, Sister Xiuzhen," Wang Canjun said sweetly. "After I've cleaned the fish, I'll treat you to a meal."
"Don't be so polite with me, we're friends from now on," Luo Xiuzhen said. "Besides, your family is in such dire straits, how could I possibly accept your food?"
"I've had a lot of success lately, so treating you to a meal shouldn't be a problem," said Wang Canjun.
"Let's talk about it later, let's process the fish first," Luo Xiuzhen said noncommittally.
The two arrived at the police station.
Luo Xiuzhen told Wang Canjun to wait outside while she went in alone to find her father, Luo Shengli, the deputy director.
A short while later, Luo Shengli came out excitedly with a police officer and welcomed Wang Canjun inside.
He then instructed the police officer to take the fish to be weighed, while he took Wang Canjun to his office.
At this moment, Wang Canjun didn't see Luo Xiuzhen, which puzzled him a little, but he didn't think much of it, assuming she was busy with something else.
Wang Canjun and Luo Shengli knew each other, but only a few times; their relationship wasn't as close as that between Wang Canjun and Director Wang.
