Rebirth of Fishing Village: Starting from Hua Axiang in Jiehu Village

Chapter 1051: Good things come with time
One o'clock.

Hongyun Restaurant.

Liu Gang was sitting alone on the sofa smoking a cigarette. There were already more than a dozen cigarette butts in the ashtray in front of him.

When Liu Lei pushed open the door and walked in, the whole room was filled with smoke, and he immediately opened the window to ventilate.

"dad!"

"What do you think about this? Should we renovate the other floor?"

Liu Lei had just sent Yang Qin home. Almost two hours ago, Yang Qin had said that Ding Xiaoxiang did not agree with her and Lao Liu Gang's plan to renovate another floor. If someone else said this, neither she nor Lao Liu Gang would take it to heart, but since Ding Xiaoxiang said this, both she and Lao Liu Gang must think about it carefully.

"This matter is really hard to explain!"

"Hongyun Restaurant has been doing really well recently. There are already a lot of people waiting for seats. Generally speaking, in this situation, as long as there is space, the scale must be expanded so that more people can dine together at the same time, and more money can be made in the same amount of time."

Liu Gang's brows were twisted into a big knot.

Ding Xiaoxiang is not an ignorant person. On the contrary, although Ding Xiaoxiang is young, she is definitely an expert in doing business. Even she has to admit that she is a powerful person.

Liu Gang has been doing business for many years and has gone through many ups and downs and seen all kinds of situations. After hearing what Ding Xiaoxiang said, he was really a little worried. Many stores that were doing very well, whether they opened branches or expanded their scale, ultimately did not have a good ending.

"What Sister Xiaoxiang said, that there is no need to renovate when business is good, and that you should only renovate when business is not so good, makes a lot of sense."

"In this case, we can only let these people who are eating here wait for their seats."

Liu Lei is having a headache. There are just too many people here. If he doesn't renovate another floor, people will have to wait for a seat. Sometimes there will be more than 20 people waiting. On weekends, there will be more than 50 people waiting. It always seems a bit of a waste.

"correct!"

"dad!"

“Yang Qin just said that she and Sister Xiaoxiang will go out to sea to Ding Dawen’s big fishing boat tomorrow morning.”

Liu Lei suddenly remembered this matter and an idea popped into his mind.

"Why did Yang Qin go out to sea at this time?"

Liu Gang was a little strange.

Liu Lei talked about the matter between Ma Baozhu and Ding Dawen.

"dad!"

"Sister Xiaoxiang didn't make it very clear when she talked to Yang Qin about this."

"It's just a statement of my attitude. I'm thinking about going out to sea together tomorrow. Remember to ask Sister Xiaoxiang what she thinks about this matter."

"Another thing is that when I meet Brother Dahai, I can ask for his opinion."

"Sister Xiaoxiang and Brother Dahai both have the same opinion. They both think that it is not necessary. I think we still have to consider this matter very carefully and simply not renovate it."

Liu Lei felt that he had to meet Ding Xiaoxiang and Zhao Dahai tomorrow to ask them in detail what was going on.

Liu Gang thought about it and nodded. He decided that he really needed to meet Ding Xiaoxiang and Zhao Dahai to find out the reasons. Only then could he make a decision.

"This matter has been decided!"

"I'll take care of the business at Hongyun Restaurant. You go and handle this matter. Don't rush back. Stay for a day or two."

"You need to ask Ding Xiaoxiang and especially Zhao Dahai for their opinions."

Liu Gang agreed, and Liu Lei will go to see Ding Xiaoxiang and Zhao Dahai tomorrow.

Liu Lei immediately called Yang Qin and told her that they would go out to sea together early the next morning.

seven in the morning.

Ding Xiaoxiang rode her scooter to Yang Qin's doorstep and immediately saw Liu Lei.

"Liu Lei."

"What's the matter with you? I just mentioned it to Yang Qin casually."

"You came all the way here on purpose?"

As soon as Ding Xiaoxiang saw Liu Lei, she knew that it must be what she and Yang Qin had talked about last night, that there was no need to start the renovation now.

"Sister-in-law Xiaoxiang."

"I can ignore what other people say, but since this opinion is from you, I have to think about it carefully."

"My dad and I discussed this for a long time last night, but we couldn't make up our minds. Today, I have to come to you to find out what's going on. Another option is to go out to sea to meet Brother Dahai and ask him what he thinks about this matter."

"This is no small matter for Hongyun Restaurant."

Liu Lei is not joking.

This matter is really very important to Hongyun Restaurant.

If the business goes downhill after the renovation, it would be a big deal. The key is that there is no regret for such things, and there is no starting over.

Liu Lei knew very well that this kind of thing must be handled with extreme caution and must not be taken carelessly.

"Row!"

"Let's go out to the sea together to meet Zhao Dahai and see what he thinks about this matter."

Ding Xiaoxiang smiled and nodded. This was indeed a big deal for Hongyun Restaurant.

Ding Xiaoxiang, Liu Lei and Yang Qin rushed to the Shijiao Village Pier together. When they arrived, they found that Ma Shijie, Ma Baozhu and Luo Hongxia were already waiting there.

Ding Xiaoxiang had already found a high-speed speedboat, and several people were waiting at the dock to get on it and head directly to Ding Dawen's fishing boat near the artificial island.

Near the artificial island reef, Ding Dawen's fishing boat was parked steadily. He returned to the Shijiao Village Pier yesterday and immediately brought back the fish he had sold. At around seven o'clock in the evening, Zhao Dahai, Ding Chongshan and others came back from fishing, just in time.

Ding Dawen had slept for four or five hours in the cab and had just woken up. After having breakfast, he took a cup of strong tea and steamed vegetables and drank it in small sips.

The sun had already risen, the light was abundant, the sea was very wide, and from time to time one could see a fishing boat setting out its nets to catch fish or a speedboat passing by quickly.

Do you want to go fishing?

Ding Dawen thought that he had nothing to do now. Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu and others were going out to sea to fish, so he could cast a few rods to kill time.

"Ding Dawen!"

"What are you thinking about?" Ding Dawen looked back and saw his uncle Ding Chongshan walking in while yawning.

"Uncle."

"What are you doing up so early? You fished all day yesterday, and you're not going out to sea today. Wouldn't it be great to just get some extra sleep?"

Ding Dawen said as he poured a glass of water and handed it to Ding Chongshan.

Ding Chongshan and Zhao Dahai went out to fish early yesterday morning. They were very tired when they came back. This morning, they found the sea and went out to fish again. Ding Chongshan simply did not go out to sea.

"can not fall asleep!"

"Now I feel a little regretful. Why didn't I go fishing with Zhao Dahai earlier in the morning?"

Ding Chongshan took a sip of water and shook his head. He was very tired when he came back yesterday. He decided that he and Lin Zuhua would not go fishing with Zhao Dahai anymore. But he didn't expect that he would feel a little bored after waking up at this time. He went out to sea to fish. He would be tired, but he had to go out to sea to fish. Zhao Dahai had already gone out to sea. He didn't know where he was on the artificial island. He couldn't go out to sea to fish even if he wanted to.

"Uncle!"

"What's the matter? You won't be out at sea for just one or two days."

"Take a good rest today, and when Zhao Dahai and his friends go fishing tomorrow, you can go with them!"

"Zhao Dahai and Zhong Shizhu are both relatively young and in good health. You and Uncle Lin Zuhua can't compare to them in terms of this kind of experience. We have already been fishing all day yesterday, so we must take a rest."

Ding Dawen looked at Ding Chongshan. Although he had rested for a night, he looked tired. Ding Chongshan and Lin Zuhua did want to catch a lot of fish when they went out to sea, but they were not fishing to make money, so there was no need to work so hard.

"Correct!"

"Let's take a day off first. I really can't compare to Zhao Dahai and the others!"

"We fished for a whole day yesterday and caught quite a lot of fish."

Lin Zuhua walked into the cab and just happened to hear what Ding Dawen said.

Today, Ding Chongshan and I went fishing on Zhao Dahai's speedboat. Each of us caught a large grouper weighing over 100 kilograms. At the end of the day, the total amount of fish caught by the two of us was at least 600 kilograms.

When I was young, I often went fishing with Ding Chongshan. This is the first time that the two of us have caught so many fish.

"Humph!"

"You two are really not in good health. You should go fishing more often in the future. Don't just focus on business all day. What will you do when you are older?"

Zhao Shi walked into the cab while talking, took a puff of the hookah in his hand, and followed behind him was Shi Guangming.

Ding Chongshan and Lin Zuhua both nodded.

In recent years, both of them have been busy with their business and have not paid much attention to this aspect. Although going out to sea to fish is very hard, fishing is very demanding on the body and requires sufficient exercise. Almost everyone who goes out to sea to fish is in good health.

"Da Hai often goes fishing. If you two want to go fishing, you can go fishing with him, or you can find time to come to Ding Da Wen's fishing boat. Isn't it much better to enjoy the sea breeze and sun than to stay in the office?"

Shi Guangming agreed with Zhao Shi very much.

It seems that both Zhao Shi and I are much older than Ding Chongshan and Lin Zuhua, but after a whole day of fishing yesterday, Zhao Shi and I were fine, but Ding Chongshan and Lin Zuhua did feel very tired.

From this, it can be seen that Ding Chongshan and Lin Zuhua's physiques are not as good as his and Zhao Shi's, not to mention compared with Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou. If compared with Zhao Dahai, they are even worse.

Ding Chongshan and Lin Zuhua kept nodding their heads. They both went fishing at sea when they were young and knew very well what was happening to their bodies at that time. Now they can hardly hold on after a day's work. This is definitely due to lack of exercise.

"Uncle."

"Don't we have anything to do now? Why don't we go fishing?"

"When the fishing boats are parked in this area, you can catch fish during the day, but there are not many fish."

"But if you're lucky, you can sometimes catch one or two big fish."

"It's about ten meters southeast of the bow of the fishing boat. You can try that place to see if you can catch grouper."

"Six days ago I caught a 40-pound sesame fish in that spot."

Ding Dawen was just thinking about whether to go fishing.

Ding Chongshan and Lin Zuhua became interested as soon as they heard it. There was nothing to do on the fishing boat now, so they might as well cast their rods and see if they could catch anything. If they could, then so be it. It wouldn't matter if they couldn't. It wouldn't be a big deal anyway.

Ding Chongshan and Lin Zuhua were just about to go out to go fishing when they suddenly saw a speedboat speeding towards them right in front of the bow of the fishing boat.

"Why is Ding Xiaoxiang here?"

Ding Dawen took out his glasses and took a look at the huge boat coming over. On it were Ding Xiaoxiang, Liu Lei and Yang Qin. What he didn't expect was that Ma Baozhu was on the speedboat, and the other two were Ma Baozhu's older brother and sister-in-law, Ma Shijie and Luo Hongxia.

"what!"

"What are you doing here, you idiot boy? Go pick them up!"

"quick!"

"Lower the ladder on the side of the fishing boat!"

Ding Chongshan already knew about the matter between Ding Dawen and Ma Baozhu, and knew that Ding Xiaoxiang had gone back to deal with the matter. Now not only Ma Baozhu came, but also Ma Baozhu's elder brother and sister-in-law Ma Shijie and Luo Hongxia were here. It must be that the matter has been handled, and the matter between Ding Dawen and Ma Baozhu has been settled.

Ding Dawen reacted immediately, put down the pass on the side of the fishing boat, rushed out of the cab, and ran to the side of the fishing boat's ladder to wait.

"what!"

"Ding Xiaoxiang is amazing. Once she showed up, the problem was solved!"

Shi Guangming looked at the speedboat coming towards him, he was very happy that Ding Dawen and Ma Baozhu's relationship was successful. You know, Ding Dawen is Ding Ailian's elder brother, and the custom in the surrounding villages and towns is that the eldest brother has to get married first, and then the younger sister or younger brother. It is not necessary to abide by such rules now, but being able to get married first, to get married earlier, is definitely a good thing. Otherwise, even if Ding Ailian and Shi Zhongwei's relationship has already been established and they are planning to get married, they will have to delay it for a few more years.

"How can this be difficult? Ma Baozhu's family disagrees with Ding Dawen's proposal. It's not because they think Ding Dawen is not a good person, but because they think Ding Dawen doesn't have a stable job. Now that this matter has been resolved, there will definitely be no problem."

Zhao Shi smiled. He and Shi Guangming all hoped that Ding Dawen and Ma Baozhu's relationship would be successful. In fact, there was not much difficulty between Ding Dawen and Ma Baozhu.

"Whether it's this ship, the building under construction in the town, or your family's sea fishing boat, Shi Guangming, I can find a job anywhere."

"What's so difficult about this?"

"It's just that Ding Lihua's family is in business, and Ding Dawen's personality is not suitable for doing business. Otherwise, wouldn't this matter have been resolved long ago?"

Zhao Shi shook his head.

Both Ding Lihua and Ding Chongshan are businessmen, but Ding Dawen's personality is not suitable for business. Otherwise, the matter between Ding Dawen and Ma Baozhu would not have dragged on until now.
