388: Fishing can cultivate one's character and temperament.

The next morning, Lin Zifeng got out of bed as carefully as usual, without disturbing Chen Yuxi, who was sleeping soundly. He changed into his sportswear and walked out of the house.

He jogged all the way to the park, found a secluded spot, and began practicing his Eight Extremities Fist.

After finishing a set of Eight Extremities Fist, Lin Zifeng was covered in sweat. Just as he was about to turn back home, he saw a somewhat familiar figure, but he couldn't remember where he had seen the person before.

So he prepared to leave directly, but at that moment, the other person spoke first.

“Hello, Brother Lin. I didn't expect to run into you here. Did you also get up early to exercise?”

Seeing that the other person not only knew him but also called him Brother Lin, they must be someone quite familiar! However, he couldn't recall where he had met them.

So he said somewhat apologetically, “I'm sorry! You are?”

“Brother Lin, you really are a busy man with a short memory! It's no wonder, we haven't seen each other for over three years, and back then, we only met once.

My father is Qiao Zhenyu, and I'm his daughter, Qiao Yue.

When I saw you in front of the shopping mall back then, I was still in university! Now I've already graduated and started working.”

Qiao Yue said with a face full of smiles.

Hearing Qiao Yue's words, Lin Zifeng finally remembered the scene of meeting Qiao Zhenyu's family of three at the mall entrance a few years ago.

At that time, Lin Zifeng was only a County Magistrate. Thinking of this, Lin Zifeng said with a smile, “I remember now. They say a girl changes eighteen times as she grows up; that little girl from back then has already become a young woman.

No wonder I didn't recognize you.

However, you just used the wrong generation. Your Father and I are colleagues; you should call me Uncle Lin, not Brother Lin.”

Hearing Lin Zifeng's correction, Qiao Yue smiled nonchalantly and said, “You don't look much older than me, so I'm not calling you Uncle! Aren't you afraid I'll make you sound old? Let's just address each other however we like.”

Facing the somewhat quirky Qiao Yue, Lin Zifeng didn't mind and said with a smile, “As you wish! I'm going home to make breakfast, so I won't chat with you here any longer.”

After saying this, Lin Zifeng waved to Qiao Yue and jogged away.

Watching Lin Zifeng's retreating figure, Qiao Yue couldn't help but think to herself that back then, she had told her parents that if Lin Zifeng still didn't have a girlfriend by the time she graduated, she would try her best to pursue him.

Just as she had guessed back then, how could such an outstanding and excellent man stay single for so long?

Her long-anticipated wish had fallen through; he was already married with a daughter now.

Qiao Yue had seen Chen Yuxi and her daughter once, so thinking of this, she whispered to herself, “Only such a beautiful and excellent woman is worthy of a man like Lin Zifeng!”

It wasn't until Lin Zifeng disappeared from her sight that Qiao Yue withdrew her gaze and continued her morning run.

Lin Zifeng ran all the way back home, showered, changed his clothes, and went to the kitchen to make breakfast.

Soon, the couple sat at the dining table together eating breakfast. Chen Yuxi said while eating, “Hubby, Mom will definitely wait until after dinner to bring Ningning back.

Today is Sunday, let's not stay cooped up at home. How about we go out and have some fun together?”

Hearing Chen Yuxi's suggestion, Lin Zifeng smiled and said, “I just got back from the Yingjianzui Scenic Area yesterday. You're not thinking of having me accompany you to the scenic area again, are you?”

“I'm even more familiar with our scenic area than you are, and I know every blade of grass and tree there. I want to go out and play with you, so why would we go to our own scenic area?

Yushu City has more than just our scenic area as a good place to go.

I heard Meixin mention last week that Gangou Township has set up several Ecological Breeding and Fishing Gardens to attract tourists.

These Ecological Breeding and Fishing Gardens have been open for over a month now, and many locals use the weekends to go there.

Yuhang and Meixin went last week, and she said the fish there are very fresh and delicious.

If you catch a fish yourself, the Fresh Fish Restaurant there will even process it for you.

Even if you can't catch anything, you can still eat fish at the restaurant.”

Chen Yuxi shared the news she knew with a look of excitement.

Hearing the news from Chen Yuxi, Lin Zifeng nodded in surprise and said with a smile, “Hearing you put it that way, it really sounds like a good place to go.

But we don't have any fishing gear!”

“Isn't that simple? Just buy a set. Besides, they also rent out fishing gear there, but I think it's better to buy a set.

When we have free time in the future, it'll also be a very good way to relax.”

Chen Yuxi said in a relaxed tone.

“Haven't you heard the saying? 'Don't marry a fisherman, and don't take a gambler for a wife.' Aren't you afraid I'll get addicted?”

Lin Zifeng said jokingly.

“He's my own husband, could I not understand him? It's hard enough to get you addicted to anything.

Even if you did get addicted to fishing, would you have the time to go fishing all the time?”

Chen Yuxi had a sentence in her heart she didn't say: except for matters between men and women.

Hearing Chen Yuxi's words, Lin Zifeng laughed out loud. “My wife still understands me best!

But there's still one most important problem: neither you nor I know how to fish!”

“If we don't know, can't we learn? Let me tell you something, whenever my dad had any free time in the past, he would find a place to go fishing.

I was young then and didn't understand why my dad liked fishing so much.

My dad told me back then that he didn't exactly love fishing, but that fishing could not only cultivate one's character and help one calm down, but also cultivate one's ability to maintain composure.

In officialdom, the most taboo thing is to be impetuous, which is why my dad chose to go fishing often.

But after my dad was promoted to the vice-ministerial level, he rarely went fishing anymore.”

Chen Yuxi said with eyes full of wisdom.

Hearing Chen Yuxi's words, Lin Zifeng nodded solemnly and spoke again, “The reason Your Father stopped fishing after reaching the vice-ministerial level is that his composure was already sufficient.

It seems there really is a need for us to go play.

Eat quickly, wife. We'll head out after breakfast.”

Chen Yuxi nodded, and the two continued eating their breakfast.

After the couple finished breakfast, they tidied up together and changed into sportswear. Chen Yuxi also produced two sun hats and two pairs of sunglasses like a magic trick.

Seeing Chen Yuxi's actions, Lin Zifeng said with a smile, “It seems you were prepared long ago?”

Chen Yuxi nodded and said, “After I heard Meixin's introduction to the Ecological Breeding and Fishing Garden, I wanted to go with you.

I don't understand fishing gear, so that's why I didn't buy it in advance.”

The couple walked out of the house while chatting, went downstairs, and drove out of the Residential Community.

Lin Zifeng parked the car in front of a fishing tackle shop, put on his sun hat and large sunglasses, got out of the car, and they walked into the shop together.

After a patient introduction from the shop owner, the two bought a set of fishing gear and fish bait. Accompanied by the shop owner's smiling face, they walked out of the fishing tackle shop.

After putting the fishing gear and bait into the trunk, the couple got back in the car, and Lin Zifeng drove off again toward Gangou Township.
