Chapter 24: Fully prepared

Reborn on My Wedding Night: This Time, I Won't Fail My Soldier Husband

Dong Shuyao left the courtyard, got on a bus, and headed straight for Lover's Bridge.

She wanted to buy a large fishing net.

But where to buy a fishing net, Dong Shuyao had no idea.

But that didn't matter; Lover's Bridge was located by Lover's Lake, where there were many anglers.

She didn't know where to buy a fishing net, but surely the anglers would know?

Early morning and after dusk, when there were few pedestrians on the street, were the times fishing enthusiasts liked best.

When Dong Shuyao got off the bus, she saw several middle-aged men holding fishing rods.

She followed a few anglers for a while until they stopped by the lake, then she approached and asked familiarly: "Big brother, are there many fish here?"

One of the men, wearing a black Zhongshan suit, looked her up and down, his eyes showing vigilance: "Who are you? What do you want?"

Dong Shuyao took a handful of White Rabbit candies from her pocket: "Big brother, I mean no harm. My father is a professor at Peking University, and he's recently become obsessed with fishing. But he's a beginner and doesn't know where to fish, so I wanted to scout a spot for him."

These older brothers who had the leisure to fish either had good jobs or good family conditions.

Some were even old enough to be Dong Shuyao's father.

Who didn't have children at home?

Seeing Dong Shuyao was so filial, their expressions softened: "Little sister, you asked the right person. We've been fishing for decades; we know exactly where the fish are in this area."

After the White Rabbit candies went into the pockets of the older brothers, Dong Shuyao revealed a look of pleasant surprise: "That's great! Then big brother, do you know where I can buy a fishing net?"

In Beijing, people basically only used fishing rods; it was purely a personal hobby.

Only the common people in the countryside used fishing nets to catch fish for a living and to make ends meet.

This made it very difficult for Dong Shuyao to find someone selling fishing nets.
