Chapter 717 Father-Son Agreement

Chapter 717 Father-Son Agreement
Lin Chen and his father were busy for nearly twenty minutes and were finally able to go fishing.

Looking at the fishing rod with purple entries in his hand, Lin Chen still went into the water with an empty hook.

"Dabao, give me the bait."

After hanging the bait, Dad Lin handed a small jar to Lin Chen.

But when he saw that Lin Chen had already taken the bait, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Son, you."

Lin Chen refused the bait handed over by Lin's father and explained: "Oh, I'm used to fishing with an empty hook."

"Fishing with an empty hook? Can you catch fish???"

Father Lin’s eyes widened.

Lin Chen said: "Yes, the fish I caught yesterday were caught with an empty hook."

"what?"

Dad Lin was a little bit unconvinced.

Fish are not stupid. How can they bite the hook without bait?

Shaking his head, Dad Lin said nothing more and concentrated on fishing.

Anyway, when Lin Chen couldn't catch any fish, he became obedient.

At this moment, there was movement on the fishing rod in Lin Chen's hand.

Lin Chen's eyes flashed and he quickly lifted the rod.

When Mr. Lin heard the noise, he turned around and was stunned.

"No way, there really is a fish biting an empty hook?!"

Lin Chen and the fish were in a stalemate for a few minutes, but eventually the fish ran out of energy and was pulled up by him.

Father Lin picked up the crucian carp and weighed it in his hand. He exclaimed in amazement: "Wow! This crucian carp weighs nearly two kilograms! This is the first time I've seen a fish being caught without bait."

Lin Chen smiled and continued to throw the empty hook into the water.

Dad Lin put the crucian carp back into the bucket, and a sense of urgency arose in his heart.

My son caught fish without using any bait, so I, as his father who uses bait, cannot fall behind!

Just over five minutes later, Lin Chen caught another fish.

After working for a while, Lin Chen caught another carp weighing more than one kilogram.

Father Lin swallowed his saliva, stared at the calm water, and muttered to himself: "Come on, fish, come on, fish, come on, fish..."

Maybe it was Lin's father's "spell" that worked, the fishing rod really moved, which made his whole body tense up.

"Bite, bite hard, bite with all your might!"

As a result, when Lin Chen's fishing hook was put into the water, the movement from Lin's father's side immediately disappeared.

Depressed Dad Lin kept sucking his teeth.

Ouch, just a little bit!
As soon as Lin Chen sat down, the hook was hit by a fish again. Helplessly, he had to stand up and continue fighting with the fish.

Dad Lin could only sit there and watch helplessly.

This fish must be quite big and very powerful. Lin Chen took great efforts to fish it up.

This is a big carp weighing almost seven kilograms!
Looking at this big carp, Dad Lin's eyes turned red with envy.

He has never caught such a big fish in his life of fishing!
"Dabao! Come here, I want to change places with you."

Dad Lin shamelessly called Lin Chen and exchanged places with him.

Father Lin sat on the stool, snorted, squinted his eyes and said: "This position is good, er, great!"

As he said this, he put up the bait, which was corn kernels, again and started fishing seriously.

Before I knew it, ten minutes had passed.

Lin Chen's hands tightened, and he caught another fish.

Dad Lin, who was dozing off, woke up immediately and stared with wide eyes.

This time the fish was small, and Lin Chen pulled it up in no time.

Lin Chen's subsequent actions made the stunned Lin's father feel insulted.

He, he actually threw the fish he caught back into the water!

That’s a crucian carp that is two fingers wide!
"It's too small, there's no point in eating it."

Lin Chen muttered something and threw the fishing hook into the water.

Father Lin covered his chest with his hands, looking very sad.

I fished for so long and didn't catch anything, but others just released the fish they caught because they were too small!

What was even more devastating to Lin’s father was yet to come.

Lin Chen caught fish one after another, turning fishing into picking up fish, and Lin's father became numb from watching it.

How about I try it with an empty hook? Looking at Lin Chen's bucket that could no longer hold any more water, this idea suddenly occurred to Lin's father.

He did what he said. Dad Lin picked up the fishing rod, took the bait off the hook, and imitated Lin Chen to fish with an empty hook.

1HOURS LATER
Lin Chen had already filled two buckets with fish, and also upgraded his fishing skills to level 3.

After taking a look at the motionless Father Lin, Lin Chen packed up his things and walked over.

"dad?"

"Huh? Caught a fish?" Dad Lin asked dazedly as he opened his eyes.

Lin Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. So you want to take a nap?

"It's getting late, we should go back."

"Hmm~ How long has it been?"

Dad Lin stood up and stretched his sore thighs.

"It's almost two o'clock since I arrived here."

"Oh, it's time to go back. We caught so many fish! Did you catch all these fish?!"

Looking at the two full buckets of fish, Dad Lin stood there in a daze.

"Hey! This fish is not small!"

Lin Chen helped Lin's father brush off the snowflakes on his body and said, "Ah, I released all the smaller fish."

Looking at Lin Chen's casual look, Lin's father smacked his lips, not knowing what to say.

The father and son picked up a bucket and their tools and walked towards the shore.

Originally, Lin Chen wanted to carry two buckets by himself, but Lin's father wouldn't agree and insisted that each of them carry one bucket.

Father Lin asked curiously, "Dabao, why did you cover the bucket with a cloth?"

"If other people saw this many fish, I don't know what would be spread tomorrow."

Looking at the crowds of people, still young and old, on the ice, Lin Chen heard a legend about someone catching several hundred kilograms of fish while fishing.

When we got to the shore, there were suddenly a lot fewer people.

Father Lin coughed, came up to Lin Chen and said, "Um, son, I want to ask you a favor."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Hey, we are not asking for anything. If you have something to say, just tell me."

"That's it. That's it. When we get home, can you... can you?"

Father Lin gritted his teeth and said with a red face: "Just say that I caught this bucket of fish?"

Lin Chen said angrily: "Hey, I thought it was something else, but it turns out to be just this. Don't worry, Dad, it's okay even if you say that you caught these two buckets of fish!"

Father Lin smiled happily and said, "No, no, no! One bucket is enough, two buckets will be enough!"

"Well, Dad actually has one more thing to ask of you."

"You say."

Father Lin asked expectantly, "Can you teach me your empty-hook fishing technique?"

"Want to learn?"

Lin Chen gave a narrow smile.

"Want to learn!"

Father Lin nodded vigorously.

Once you learn this trick, it’s like getting something for nothing!
From now on, when you go fishing by yourself, you will be the most eye-catching wherever you go!
Lin Chen's eyes rolled around, "It's not impossible for me to teach you, but if I'm in trouble, you have to help me."

"I'm your father. If I don't help you when you're in trouble, who will?"

Lin's father said it was no big deal at all.

Lin Chen pressed on and said, "Even if my mother forces me to do something I don't want to do, you still have to help me."

"Your mother, this is not easy to handle."

Dad Lin hesitated.

Lin Chen squinted his eyes and said, "Why, are you scared? Then forget it."

Father Lin said angrily: "What a joke! How can I, the head of the family, be afraid? Okay, I agree to this!"

"Then it's settled! Whoever goes back on his word is a cuckold!"

"Then when will you teach me?"

"I'll have time after the Chinese New Year."

"Okay, it's a deal!"

"A must~"
