Financial freedom begins with fishing

Chapter 62 Departure

The heavy snow kept falling, but it couldn't stop anglers from hoping for a big catch.

On the highway leading out of the city, a modified off-road pickup truck was driving steadily.

A beautiful melody was playing inside the car, and two men sat in the front row, chatting and laughing.

"Hey Kai, Old Zhou really did a great job modifying your car, he even replaced the sound system!"

Sitting in the passenger seat, Xiao Peng looked at the interior of the car, listened to the beautiful music playing in his ears, and couldn't help but praise it!

"Hehe, I specifically asked Brother Zhou to install it. It cost several thousand yuan, and the ambient lighting makes it look even better at night!"

Hearing Xiao Peng's words, Xiao Kai couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

"Great, great! It'll be perfect for your fishing trips, and you can even listen to music when you're free!" Xiao Peng nodded in agreement.

"I'm treating this car like my second home, so I naturally have to take good care of it. I can't neglect my own life just for fishing; that's not fishing, it's torture! I should enjoy the comforts I deserve! Once I get used to it, I plan to install a projector so I can watch movies outdoors sometime!"

Xiao Kai spoke in a serious tone, becoming more and more excited as he spoke.

"Yes, that makes sense!" Xiao Peng agreed.

Although he knew that Xiao Kai went fishing to earn money.

But if you can improve your quality of life while making money, you'll feel completely different.

After all, being alone away from home for a long time will inevitably lead to loneliness, so it's essential to pay attention to enjoying life.

"Brother Peng, shall we go to the same spot as last time today?" Xiao Kai asked casually as he drove.

"No, I'll take you to a great place!" Xiao Peng smiled mysteriously.

"Oh! Where are you going?" Xiao Kai asked curiously.

"No rush, head towards the Dabang River first, I'll point you when we get there!" Xiao Peng shook his head, still maintaining his mysterious demeanor.

Seeing this, Xiao Kai was curious, but still chose to believe him.

"good!"

Soon, under Xiao Peng's skillful driving, the modified off-road pickup truck successfully left the city.

Due to the heavy snow, they did not choose to take the highway this time, but instead took the national highway, which caused them a considerable delay.

It took them nearly three hours to finally reach the spot where they had fished last time.

But at the fork in the road before the fishing spot, Xiao Peng reminded him to take another road.

Without hesitation, Xiao Kai continued driving forward following Xiao Peng's instructions.

After walking for several more kilometers, they finally arrived at their destination at nearly 11 a.m.

This is a huge riverbank near the Dabang River, located next to a grove of trees, facing the river with mountains behind it. Being in this environment makes one feel relaxed and comfortable.

Moreover, there was a small path nearby, and with the off-road capabilities of his car, he could easily drive along the path to the riverbank.

At this moment, Xiao Kai finally learned of Xiao Peng's plan.

Wow, Peng, you're amazing! You even managed to find such a great place!

Looking at the stunning scenery before him, Xiao Kai couldn't help but praise it.

"Hehe, nice place, right? I saw it online before, and my sister-in-law and I even camped here last summer!"

"Since you wanted to try out the camping capabilities of this vehicle, I thought of this place. You can drive right to the shore, and we can fish here. When you get tired, you can rest in the vehicle, and when you're hungry, you can cook a meal. It's very convenient; you don't have to go far!"

Xiao Peng said with a smug look on his face.

"Excellent, very excellent!"

After listening to Xiao Peng's words, Xiao Kai looked around and nodded in satisfaction.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's drive off!" Xiao Peng reminded Xiao Kai, who was still admiring the scenery.

"good!"

Xiao Kai agreed and drove down the path to the riverbank, arriving at the shore shortly afterward.

He parked the car about three or four meters from the riverbank and then stopped.

After a flurry of activity, Xiao Kai finally finished all the preparations.

He inspected most of the equipment on the vehicle, and everything was fine, including the water and electricity system, the roof tent, and the side canopy, all of which were working properly.

However, a few minor issues were also discovered.

For example, he would also need to prepare a portable toilet, a shower tent, and kitchen utensils.

Because of the rush, he had forgotten to prepare cooking utensils, so their camping plan for today could only be limited to the experience and could not be put into practice.

Xiao Kai was frustrated, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Fortunately, they had already eaten when they arrived, so they didn't have to worry about lunch.

After some deliberation, Xiao Kai and his companion finally began fishing.

With the help of the aperture, Xiao Kai quickly caught the fish.

Next, it was a familiar scene.

Fishing, fishing, and more fish, fish after fish.

Soon, an afternoon had passed.

As darkness fell, they packed up their things and prepared to go home.

After an afternoon of fishing, they caught about 100 kilograms of fish.

This also included several mandarin fish that hadn't been caught in a long time.

This came at just the right time for Xiao Kai, whose savings had dwindled to four figures after buying the car.

After discussing the fish-buying arrangements with Wang Dabao, Xiao Kai and his companion put all the fish they caught into the fish hold in the back of the truck.

Thanks to the built-in aerator, these fish can easily survive until they return home.

With satisfaction, Xiao Kai and Xiao Peng drove their off-road pickup truck on their way home.

......

Time flies, and February 1st has arrived in the blink of an eye.

This day was the third day of the Lunar New Year, and also the day Xiao Kai set off.

Before the Chinese New Year, Xiao Kai had already discussed with his parents and planned to start his own project after the holiday.

Today is the day we've planned to set off.

Xinghuo Residential Area, downstairs from Xiao Kai's apartment!

"Dad, Mom, you should go back now, I'm leaving!"

Xiao Peng slammed the back door shut and then spoke to his parents who were standing to the side.

"Xiao Kai, is everything ready? Don't forget anything!"

Seeing that Xiao Kai was about to leave, his mother, Ji Xiaolan, reminded him with a hint of reluctance.

"No, I've prepared everything, more than enough!" Xiao Kai said.

"Have you packed enough winter clothes? The weather's going to stay cold for a while, so don't forget. Also, pack some spring and summer clothes, so you don't run out of things to wear!" Ji Xiaolan kept reminding Xiao Kai as he spoke.

"Don't worry, everything is ready. I checked it several times yesterday. If anything is missing, we'll buy it if we can, and if not, we can just have it delivered!" Xiao Kai said with a smile.

"Okay, then drive carefully and be safe!"

"I'm off then, bye-bye!"

Boom!

With the engine roaring, Xiao Kai drove his off-road pickup truck out of the residential area.

When he passed by Xiao Peng's supermarket, he said goodbye to Xiao Peng, who was already waiting there, and resolutely embarked on his journey.
