âYe Jie, youâre still young and canât learn to fish yet. Look, even where the water is shallow, itâs deeper than your height. We can talk about fishing when youâre older!â Ye Fan turned his head and looked at Ye Jie seriously.
He wanted to make it clear to Ye Jie that this was a very dangerous thing.
This was no joke!
âDad, Iâ¦â
âIf you like fishing that much, I can take you to a childrenâs amusement park. Thereâs a special area for kids to fish. You can play there and catch little goldfish,â Ye Fan said.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He had seen such places before, but at that time, the little ones hadnât expressed a desire to fish, so he hadnât taken them there to play.
At the time, it hadnât occurred to him to take them.
If Xiaoye Jie really liked fishing, that was the only place she could go. It was all man-made with little shallow ponds, just a few centimeters deep, stocked with small fish and the like.
That was what was suitable for kids to play with.
What he was doing was for adults.
It was too dangerous for children.
âDad, do you think my IQ suits playing such childish games?â
âIâm not a three-year-old anymore. Thatâs only suitable for three-year-olds!â Ye Jie pouted, expressing her disdain.
Did she really look that immature?
Ye Jie wouldnât play such childish games.
(âoâ)â¦
Uhâ¦
Ye Fan was somewhat taken aback by what Ye Jie had said.
The talk sounded like it was from a three-year-old, or a four-year-old at least!
Arenât these the games that all kids like to play?
That place, not just three or four-year-olds, but even seven or eight-year-olds play there, all still so young at heart.
What they want to play is entirely up to them.
Look at what this little one is capable of.
Remember, many adults still watch anime. There are some in their sixties or seventies who watch anime, giggling away.
Is it really that childish for a four-year-old to play at fishing?
Ye Fan was having trouble understanding how todayâs kids seemed so precociously mature.
Shouldnât children simply play whatever they want, do whatever they wish, of course, as long as itâs appropriate?
Ye Fan truly felt old, no longer able to keep up with the thoughts of the kids these days.
âXiao Jie, but youâre a four-year-old child. Thereâs not much difference between three years old and four,â Ye Fan said.
This child really was a handful.
âDad, itâs not like that. Iâm not just any ordinary child, heh heh.â Ye Jie tilted her chin up, her little face full of pride.
She felt that she was no ordinary child.
Do ordinary children have superpowers?
Are ordinary children as smart as she is?
Do ordinary children really understand everything?
Of course not!
So, she wasnât an ordinary child.
âYou little rascal, but still, learning to fish is definitely not okay; youâre too young. You go play, and Daddy will catch a fish for you to eat,â Ye Fan said.
Ye Jie looked at her dad with his firm resolve and had no choice but to give up.
She wasnât angry nor did she blame her dad Ye Fan. She understood.
It was just that she hadnât done enough to put her dad Ye Fanâs mind at ease.
It was her own reason.
So, she just accepted it.
Perhaps in the future, Dad might change his mind.
âAlright, if itâs not allowed, itâs not allowed. Iâll just stay here and watch Dad fish, and I wonât go anywhere,â said Ye Jie stubbornly.
Donât think about getting rid of her.
If she canât fish, surely watching is still okay?
Humph â(â¯^â°)â®
âWhat, I canât learn to fish, and I canât even watch?â Little Fourth Ye Jie immediately looked pitiful.
Doesnât Dad love her?
Is watching not allowed either?
âAlright, you can watch!â Seeing Ye Jieâs expression, Ye Fanâs heart softened, and he felt a pain of pity.
This pitiful look was really something Ye Fan couldnât bear to see.
But was it really just watching someone fish?
Did it need to be so pitifully cute?
Did she really love fishing that much?
But Ye Jie was still too young; otherwise, Ye Fan would really have considered teaching her how to fish.
The child was just that persistent.
Once she had set her mind on something, she was unshakeably determined to stick to it.
It was very hard to change her mind once she had decided on something.
Ye Fan knew Little Fourth Ye Jieâs personality and temperament all too well.
Of course, he also knew the characteristics of the other children.
All four little ones were his precious daughters; how could he not know about them, not pay attention to them?
Ye Fan watched the float, and Little Fourth Ye Jie watched too. Even though she couldnât personally get involved and learn fishing now, she could watch and learn how Dad fished and observed.
Soon, Ye Fan caught a carp, a rather large one, which looked to be about two pounds. He thought this would be enough for a meal.
The carp seemed quite plump.
Braised carp is the tastiest.
âDad, youâre amazing, you caught a big fish. Wow, we can make fish head soup. Iâm so happy!â Little Fourth Ye Jie immediately cheered and even jumped for joy.
Just now, she had been intently watching her dad Ye Fan, remembering all his fishing techniques and postures.
But even if she was asked to try her hand at it, she couldnât guarantee she would be able to do it yet.
After all, there is something known as understanding with the eyes but not yet with the hands.
âDad is just lucky. Iâll make the fish head into soup for you, and the rest of the fish can be braised. Not bad!â Ye Fan squatted down, removed the fish hook, and said with a smile.
