1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

Li Dajiang suddenly had an idea and thought that counting all the fish caught as Li Dahe's tasks would be a clever solution.

He immediately smiled and felt much better. "If this works, that would be great! Let's go now!"

At this moment, Li Dajiang had swept away his previous worries and was full of energy. Although he still walked with a limp, he seemed unusually energetic.

Brothers Li Weimin and Li Weihua carried their fishing rods and came to Shichahai to fish again.

Originally they were full of expectations, hoping to catch some big fish, but after half a day, they only caught a small crucian carp the size of a palm.

Li Weimin couldn't help but feel confused: "Weihua, what's going on today? How come we only caught such a small crucian carp?"

Li Weihua pondered for a moment, and recalled what his elder brother had taught him yesterday: "Second brother, my elder brother said that we must be patient and calm when fishing. It must be because we were too anxious that the fish didn't bite the hook!"

Li Weimin thought for a moment and said, "Weihua, you are right. We should stay calm and patient like our elder brother taught us. Maybe I can catch another turtle in a while!"

Li Weihua already had the answer in his mind, and he knew how to adjust his mentality next.

Just then, footsteps were heard in the distance, accompanied by light laughter.

The two brothers looked up and saw their eldest brother Li Weiguo and their father Li Dajiang walking towards them.

Li Weiguo had a warm smile on his face and walked hurriedly in front.

Although Li Dajiang has difficulty walking, he is in good spirits and there is a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

"Wei Min, Wei Hua, how are you two doing today? Did you get anything good?"

Although Li Weiguo had already expected that their harvest today would not be good, he still greeted them with a smile.

"Dad, brother, we were thinking of catching a few more fish to add some dishes to our family. But unfortunately, the fish didn't bite today, and we only caught a small crucian carp!" Li Weimin responded with a look of disappointment on his face.

"That's good. It's not possible to catch fish every day. Look at Uncle Yan Bugui. He sometimes catches nothing when he fishes. That's normal!"

Li Dajiang also nodded and said, "Your eldest brother is right. You can't catch fish every day. But we can't just let it go today. Your second uncle still has a mission to complete. We, father and son, must help him!"

Then he walked over to his two sons and carefully observed their fishing rods and floats. "Well, it seems that you two have mastered the basic fishing skills. As long as you wait patiently, you will definitely catch fish."

"Dad, don't worry, we will definitely learn from our elder brother and continue to work hard..."

Li Weimin said with a smile, his face filled with admiration for his elder brother.

Li Dajiang smiled slightly and turned his eyes to the water, as if he could see through the clear water: "Fishing is not only a skill, but also a mentality.

You need patience and perseverance to reap a bountiful harvest.

Do you know that life is like this river, sometimes it is as calm as a mirror, and sometimes it is turbulent?

But as long as we remain calm and persevere, we will be able to overcome difficulties and embrace a better tomorrow."

The two brothers listened attentively and nodded in agreement.

Li Weiguo also stepped forward and patted his two younger brothers on the shoulders: "Dad is right, we must always keep a normal mind and face any difficulties bravely.

Come, let me see your fishing rods, maybe I can give you some advice."

"Okay, big brother!"

As the sun rose higher, more and more people gathered to fish on both sides of the river. The green plants on both sides of the river looked particularly lush and green under the sunlight.

Under the guidance of their elder brother Li Weiguo, Li Weihua and Li Weimin readjusted the angle of the fishing rod and the position of the bait.

While making adjustments, Li Weiguo patiently explained every detail, his voice as calm and deep as river water.

"The most important thing in fishing is observation, observing the changes in the water surface and the movement of the float. Every slight change may mean that a fish has taken the bait."

Li Weiguo demonstrated as he spoke, and every movement he made seemed so natural and skillful.

Li Weihua and Li Weimin listened with great interest. They watched their eldest brother's every move intently and tried hard to remember these techniques in their hearts.

Li Dajiang sat aside, observing all this quietly, his eyes filled with satisfaction and pride.

He used his invincible fishing skills to put fish near Li Weimin and Li Weihua's hooks.

"Okay, now you can try it yourselves." Li Weiguo returned the fishing rod to his two younger brothers, then stepped aside and let them practice on their own.

The two brothers took the fishing rods and started to operate according to the instructions of their eldest brother.

They stared at the buoy, afraid of missing any subtle changes.

Time passed minute by minute, and the sunlight danced on the water, as if cheering them on.

Finally, Li Weihua's buoy began to shake violently.

He excitedly grasped the fishing rod and pulled it up with force. He saw a silver carp leap out of the water, shining brightly in the sun.

"I caught a fish! I caught a fish!" Li Weihua shouted excitedly, his face filled with the joy of success.

"Good job! Weihua, you did a great job!" Li Weiguo walked up, patted his brother on the shoulder and gave him encouragement.

Li Dajiang also stood up, walked to Li Weihua, and said with a smile: "Look, this is the result of hard work. As long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely be able to achieve success. Remember, no matter what difficulties you encounter, don't give up."

Li Weihua nodded vigorously and put the small fish carefully into the fish basket.

Li Weimin was also encouraged by this. He stared at his buoy more attentively, looking forward to the next harvest.

How could Li Weiguo let his second brother down?

Sure enough, not long after, the fishing hook in Li Weimin's hand moved.

“Flutter, flutter…”

With a splashing sound, a big fish suddenly jumped out of the water and kept struggling.

Seeing this, Li Weimin immediately became excited.

"Fish, this time I caught a fish! Dad, brother, this is really a fish!"

Li Weimin had been very confused about the fact that he could only catch soft-shelled turtles, but now he finally succeeded in catching a grass carp, and his joy was beyond words.

"Haha...you brat, don't you always say that you can only catch soft-shelled turtles? Now it seems that what you said is not true!"

When Li Dajiang saw this scene, he laughed happily.

It's rare that this brat of his knew how to joke last night!

"Dad, I was just joking with Uncle Zhuzi. Actually, soft-shelled turtles are not easy to catch, hehe!" Li Weimin scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

"That's good. Smile more in the future. Life is too hard. We must learn to find joy in adversity!"
