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

Chapter 1158: Meeting grandma!
"what!"

"Zhongshizhu!"

"You are really not being honest at all!"

"Why don't you sell this fishing boat? We are making a lot of money now, so we don't care about the money from selling the fishing boat!"

"Otherwise, how could we bear to leave this fishing boat here exposed to the wind and sun? We would have to spend money on its maintenance every year!"

Liu Bin revealed Zhong Shizhu's true thoughts.

It's not that these fishing boats cannot be sold, but they cannot be sold at a good price. He, Lei Dayou, Zhong Shizhu and others can make a lot of money by going out to sea to fish with Zhao Dahai.

The money from selling the fishing boat is really not worth their attention, that's why they don't sell it.

"Hahahaha!"

"Liu Bin, you are right. If we don't sell these fishing boats, we really don't care about this little money now."

Lei Dayou laughed out loud. If it were in the past, this fishing boat would have been sold as it was no longer needed. It would not have been left at the dock exposed to the wind and sun like it is now.

"Do you really have to explain it so clearly?"

Zhong Shizhu smiled and nodded. In fact, what he said was true. He made so much money that he really felt it would be better not to sell the fishing boat and just keep it at the dock.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da were talking as they walked into the village. When they reached a fork in the road, they went home.

"grandmother!"

"Second Grandma!"

Zhao Dahai shouted loudly when he was about ten meters away from the yard.

Second Grandma Huang Jintao has been staying at home with Grandma Zhong Cuihua during this period.

Just as Zhao Dahai finished speaking, little Naihei rushed out from the yard, ran directly to Ding Xiaoxiang, and circled around her, being very affectionate.

Zhao Dahai strode into the yard and immediately saw his grandmother Zhong Cuihua and his second grandmother Huang Jintao.

"Yo!"

"I was just talking about you and Xiaoxiang, how come you suddenly appeared in front of me!"

When Zhong Cuihua saw Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang following behind them, her face suddenly lit up with joy.

"grandmother!"

"Second Grandma!"

"Have you eaten yet?"

"It's almost time. I'll go cook and we'll eat together in the evening."

Ding Xiaoxiang walked in front of Zhong Cuihua and Huang Jintao. She would come here from time to time during this period, but Zhao Dahai came far less often than she did.

"Row!"

"Then let's all have dinner together tonight. We can eat whatever is available. There's no need to make things so complicated."

Zhong Cuihua nodded.

"The sea."

"You stay with Grandma and Second Grandma for a while. I'm going to pick some vegetables from the vegetable garden behind the house."

Ding Xiaoxiang gave Zhao Dahai some instructions, then turned around and walked out of the yard to pick vegetables from the vegetable garden at the back.

Zhao Dahai pulled two stools over, placed one in front of Zhao Shi, and then sat down himself.

Zhao Dahai took a close look at his grandmother Zhong Cuihua and his second grandmother Huang Jintao. They both looked very well and in high spirits.

"You don't need to worry about my health or your second grandmother's health."

"We two are fine!"

When Zhong Cuihua saw Zhao Dahai's expression, she knew that he was a little worried about the health of both herself and Huang Jintao. Although they are old, they are doing very well now.

"We two don't have much to do now. Every day after dinner we just stroll around the village. No one lives a more comfortable life than us two."

"Without worries in my heart, the days will pass quickly, and my body will definitely be in good condition."

"Now the only work I have to do every day is the vegetable garden behind the house and the chickens and ducks. I don't care about anything else."

Huang Jintao smiled.

Zhao Shi is often not at home now. He is either on the fish farm or on Ding Dawen's big fishing boat. No one needs to care about him and he stays with Zhong Cuihua every day.

The two of them had nothing to do and nothing to worry about, so their life was really very good.

"Xiaoxiang comes here every one or two days. One reason is to see how the house under construction is going, and the other is to see us two old ladies."

"Just go out to sea and fish and make your money."

"Men in fishing villages can ignore other things, but they must take care of making money."

Zhong Cuihua reminded Zhao Dahai.

"Sister-in-law."

"Why do you need to care about making money?"

"Who can make more money than Zhao Dahai now?"

Zhao Shi told Zhong Cuihua that Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang had recently bought a shop and built a fish farm near their residence at the Shijiao Village Pier, where they raised the fish that Zhao Dahai had caught. They would wait until the fish were in their full growth period and the price would be higher before selling them, so that they could make more money.

"Correct!"

"Sister-in-law!"

“You really don’t have to worry about making money.”

"correct!"

"Didn't Xiaoxiang say last time that the building in the town was almost finished? How about we go take a look some other day and go to the dock of Shijiao Village to take a look at the store and the fish farm that's been built?"

Huang Jintao remembered this.

"grandmother!"

"Second Grandma."

"The weather may not be very good these past two days, and the sea is a bit rough. When the weather gets better, I'll take you two out for a walk. You've been staying in the village for a while, so go outside and take a walk and see what Zhao Dahai and I have been doing recently."

Ding Xiaoxiang walked into the yard and happened to hear what Huang Jintao said. She immediately had an idea.

"Row!"

"The wind has been stronger these past two days. When the weather gets better, we'll go take a look and have a stroll."

"If you don't have time, you can live on the fish rack for two days."

Zhong Cuihua was a little moved. Zhao Dahai had been going out to sea to fish all the time and rarely came back. Teacher Ding Xiaoxiang often came here to accompany herself and Huang Jintao. However, after staying in the village for a long time, she really wanted to go out for a walk.

Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang bought a shop and built a fish farm, so they wanted to go and take a look even more.

"grandmother!"

"Second Grandma!"

"That's settled."

"If the weather is good in the next two days, I will definitely go fishing. I have to hurry up recently. Isn't the fish repair equipment coming soon? I can make more money by catching more fish and keeping them in the fish farm."

"The smaller speedboat we have at the dock will be heading to the fish pond in a couple of days. We'll have someone drive the speedboat to pick you two up so you can take a walk and have a look."

"If you want to stay at the Fish Row for two days, then stay for two days."

"Don't even mention two days. Even if you want to live there for two months, that's fine."

When Zhao Dahai saw that Grandma Zhong Cuihua and Second Grandma Huang Jintao both wanted to take a stroll around the Shijiao Village Pier, he immediately arranged this.

"Row!"

"That's how it's settled."

Zhong Cuihua agreed. She really wanted to see what Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang had been dealing with recently. These were all family assets.

Ding Xiaoxiang walked into the kitchen and started cooking dinner. Zhao Dahai sat for a while. Grandma Zhong Cuihua asked them to leave, so she stood up and walked to the kitchen.

"There's nothing for you to do here. Just go out and talk to grandma, second grandma, and second grandpa."

Ding Xiaoxiang looked at Zhao Dahai coming in and shook her head.

"Hey!"

"My grandma sent me here."

"If I go out now, won't I have to rush back?"

Zhao Dahai pulled a stool and sat down to help watch the fire in the stove.

"How is our house going?"

Zhao Dahai has been going out to sea to fish recently and almost forgot that Ding Xiaoxiang was the only one in charge of this matter. When he came back just now, he stood at the gate of the yard and took a look. It seemed that he saw almost half of it, but the distance was a bit far and he couldn't see it clearly.

“More than half of it has been built.”

"We are not in a hurry. The project is quite detailed. I estimate it will take several months to be completed, but it will definitely be completed before the New Year."

Ding Xiaoxiang has been very busy lately, but she comes here every one or two days to see the house under construction. In addition, Zhong Cuihua and Huang Jintao have been keeping an eye on the house, so things are going very smoothly and it is being built very well. It’s just that the requirements are a bit high, so it can’t be built quickly.

"There's no need to rush this matter. We can just take our time. The important thing is to build it with good quality."

Zhao Dahai took a piece of wood and put it in the stove. This house was the one he and Ding Xiaoxiang would rent for the rest of their lives, so the better the quality, the better. Slow work produces fine work. If you want to build it well, you will definitely have to spend more time.

"correct!"

"Uncle Shizhu and I went to Fengchejiao yesterday and caught a lot of golden pomfret."

"About three thousand pounds."

"I'm thinking of not selling these fish. I'll keep them for us to find someone to dry in the sun."

"After it's done, share some with everyone."

Zhao Dahai almost forgot about this.

"Row!"

"I'll arrange this once the weather gets better."

Ding Xiaoxiang agreed. It was just a simple matter. The weather was bad these two days, so it was not appropriate to dry the salted fish. She could just wait until the weather got better and find a few people. There were plenty of people in the seaside fishing village who could do this kind of work, and they did it very well.

Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang were talking while cooking, and the meal was ready in less than an hour. Seeing that it was almost getting dark, they set up the yard with a table and chairs, and started to have dinner. After dinner, they cleaned up the dishes and went out for a walk.

Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaogan walked along the path in the village. Xiao Naihei was very excited. He rushed to the front and then ran to the back.

Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang first went to the place where the house was being built and took a look around. It was dark and they couldn't see very clearly, but they could see that although it was not being built quickly, the quality was really good.

"Xiao Xiang!"

"I've been busy going out to sea for fishing recently. You have to take care of all these things at home. It's really too hard."

Zhao Dahai knew that Ding Xiaoxiang was very busy during this period. He had been going out to sea all the time and couldn't move much.

The house at home, the houses in the town, the shops, the fish farms and so on, all of these are things that happen one after another and there is no stopping.

"What's the hard work?"

"It's true that there are a lot more things to do, but I don't feel tired when I'm happy."

Ding Xiaoxiang smiled. She had been very busy recently with too many things to do, but this was a good thing. The busier she was, the happier she was.

"There's no need to work so hard when going out to sea to fish. After all, we've made enough money now. We just want to make more."

"There is something you need to think about."

"At night, try not to go fishing, especially not all night long. This is really not good for your health."

Ding Xiaoxiang remembered that Zhao Dahai had been going out to sea to fish recently. Most of the time he had to fish all night long. This would definitely allow him to catch more fish, but it was not good for his health. She had wanted to talk about this for a long time, but never had the chance. Now it was a good opportunity to talk about it.

Zhao Dahai scratched his hair a little embarrassedly. During this period, he often went fishing all night with Zhong Shizhu and others. He thought that there would be fewer people in places like artificial islands and reefs at this time, which made fishing more convenient. In addition, fish were easier to catch at night.

"Row!"

"I'll remember this."

"I will adjust this time when I go fishing in the sea in a few days. Unless there are special circumstances, I still cannot fish from night to early morning."

Zhao Dahai knew that fishing all night was very damaging to the body. Although the fish were easier to catch at this time, people who went out to sea to fish were already accustomed to working all night, but it was totally unnecessary for him.

"A few days ago, I took last month's salary and gave it to Luo Lan, Ma Hongyu and Xu Dongxue. In addition, last month's bonus was 800,000 yuan."

Ding Xiaoxiang told Zhao Dahai that she had just visited the homes of Zhong Shizhu and several others three days ago, received their wages and also received a big red envelope.

"Yo!"

"Did we catch a lot more fish last month than the month before that?"

Zhao Dahai was a little surprised. The salaries of Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were fixed, but the red envelopes or dividends were calculated according to the number of fish caught each month. The more fish they caught, the more dividends they got, and the less fish they caught, the less dividends they got. If each person got 800,000 yuan, it meant that the fish they caught last month were more than the month before, and not a lot more.

"Correct!"

"You did catch a lot more fish last month, and you made a lot more money."

Ding Xiaoxiang is in charge of the accounts and knows all this very well.

Zhao Dahai thought about it carefully and nodded. In addition to their salaries, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou each received an additional 800,000 yuan. This was not pie in the sky, but the result of a month of hard work in fishing. The more fish they caught, the more money they earned, so they would naturally be able to share the money. During this period, these people really worked hard.
