Fishing and Pleasure: A Record of "Fishing Competition" by Hubei Yadong Cement
Hubei Yadong Cement / Liu Junyuan
November 11 is the annual Hand Cutting Festival and Singles'Day. In order to reduce the time for people to go to Taobao, to keep their dry wallets, and to create a lively stage for the majority of single friends, the Hubei Yadong Cement Fishing Society organized a grand fishing competition with the special union. As soon as the announcement of the activity was issued, the enthusiastic response of the fishermen was received immediately, and the number of registered people reached a historical peak.
After several screening, the site of the event was finally selected as a fish pond by the Great Lake of Shuangliu Taojia. Backed by the vast Taojia Lake, the fish pond has a broad view and beautiful scenery. It enjoys the rare rural interest and rushes out on the highway to experience the convenience of modern life in an instant.
At 9:00 a.m., Captain Liu finished counting the number of people and read out the purpose of the event, then announced the official start of the competition, and the atmosphere on the spot immediately became tense. However, it may be that the predecessors of the tournament were so busy that the fish did not see such a lively scene, and they were scared to hide, or the rainwater for days, which cooled the fish under the water, and they became reluctant to bite, only to see the fishing friends like a statue of Buddha standing at the water's edge, while the floating in the water was like a needle fixing the sea god, and the wind did not move. The cold autumn wind came from time to time, and fishermen could not help feeling a shiver.
Although the fish situation is unsatisfactory, we still adhere to the perseverance of Oriental Petrochemical (Taiwan) people and stick to the pond. Until 10 o'clock, the sun finally showed a smiling face, the fish pond edge gradually warmed up, with the rise of temperature, fish are also active many, one after another fishermen fishing, the original dignified atmosphere, instantly lively.
Suddenly, someone caught a big fish! The fisherman's rod was bent into a big bow, and his hands were so excited that he was afraid that the fish would break the line. The fisherman beside him was also excited and offered advice: "Don't panic, hold on!" "Slip a little longer and bow the pole!" "There are naughty fishermen, playful applause:" Pop! Broken rod! Ha-ha! Did you run? Finally, after several setbacks, the fish finally slipped over. The fisherman next to him was ready to copy the net, and with the help of Lisso, he picked up the fish. Everyone was so happy that they all came to congratulate him on catching a big fish.
However, not everyone is lucky enough to catch a fish. A newly-joined fisherman left the fishing position temporarily but forgot to fix the rod. As a result, the rod was dragged into the water by the fish and shouted excitedly to go into the water to catch the rod. Fortunately, the fishermen reminded him of the danger of water depth, and the water was so cold that he did not stop until he anxiously ran back and forth to the shore, praying that the fish would swim back with the rod. At the end of the race, he immediately boarded the boat moored at Tangjiao, ready to retrieve his beloved fishing rod. Unexpectedly, the lyrics "Let's swing the oars, the boat pushes the waves" were not so simple. The boat did not listen to the call at all, and kept turning in the water. Fortunately, there was no shortage of talents in the fishing club. Mao Sui, a rowing friend, recommended himself to help him row. The boat brought back the rod, but unfortunately the big fish had run early, which made him regret and became an interesting episode in the field.
The competition ended in reluctance. At last, at the call of Captain Liu, the fishermen who had caught more fished shared the catch with the fishermen who had less. We all went back happily together. Through this activity, I believe everyone knows several colleagues who have worked together for many years but haven't exchanged with each other. When we meet next time, we will remember this fishing very kindly, and the purpose of this activity will be achieved.
