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

Chapter 1159: We all have to eat together again

"Next month is the fishing moratorium."

“It’s definitely going to be busier.”

"You have to make good arrangements."

"Take it easy."

"If there's nothing much going on at the fish farm, you don't need to go there. Just go there every two or three days."

"Sister Baozhu and Ding Ailian can manage it well."

"During the next period of time, at least one of Second Grandpa and Grandpa Zhao will stay at the women's volleyball team."

Zhao Dahai knew that Ding Xiaoxiang was worried about the fish fillets, but there was really no need to spend too much time on them. There were too many things on hand, and if she had to take care of each one of them, she would be too busy to handle it.

"It will take some time to get to the fish farm. I have to go there more often. One reason is that there are a lot of fish there, which are very valuable. Another reason is that we just built this fish farm. After all, it is built at the dock of Shijiao Village."

"It's not your village, it's not my village. Some things are really a bit troublesome. At least we have to keep a close eye on it at the beginning."

Ding Xiaoxiang shook her head. She could put aside any of the things she was doing, but Yu Pai really had to go there as much as possible every day. It wasn't that she believed in Ding Ailian and Ma Baozhu, but she really couldn't rest assured if she didn't go there.

"In this case, you can worry less about other things. There is no need to build this house in our village. Liu Gang and Liu Lei, the father and son, especially Yang Qin, have plenty of time to take care of it. You can focus your main energy on the fish in the fish farm."

Zhao Dahai thought about it and felt that what Ding Xiaoxiang said made sense. Fish fillets were the top priority now.

"Row!"

"I'll take care of this matter, you don't need to worry."

Ding Xiaoxiang agreed. She had a lot of work to do and if she was too busy to handle it all, she had to prioritize it and not take care of everything, otherwise she would not be able to take care of anything well.

Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang kept strolling along the paths in the village. Both of them were very busy and had little time to meet, so an opportunity like this was really rare.

Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang stayed until almost ten o'clock in the evening. Zhao Dahai drove his motorcycle to send Ding Xiaoxiang home. When they came back, it was almost twelve o'clock.

Zhao Dahai walked into the yard and opened the door. He saw that Grandma Zhong Cuihua and Second Grandma Huang Jintao had not gone to bed. It was obvious that they were waiting for him.

"The sea."

"Did your second grandfather say that we'll have to be busier fishing next time?"

As Zhong Cuihua spoke, she took out a peeled orange and handed it to Zhao Dahai.

"Correct!"

"Isn't this the annual fishing moratorium? During this time, all fishing boats must stay at the pier, and only fishing boats can go out to sea."

"The prices of fish, shrimp and crabs have risen sharply again. We must go fishing more often so that we can have a good rest after the busy fish show."

Zhao Dahai nodded.

The fishing moratorium is not a good thing for those fishing boats that set fishing nets at sea, but for sea fishermen like me, it is a great thing and a good opportunity to make money. It only happens once a year, and no one will miss it.

He, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, Lei Dayou and I must have tried our best to fish as much as possible and make as much money as possible.

"Row!"

"There's nothing else going on at home. Xiaoxiang comes over often."

"Just be careful and be safe."

Zhong Cuihua nodded. For anglers like Zhao Dahai, the fishing moratorium was a once-a-year opportunity to make money, which they certainly could not miss. They would try every possible way to catch more fish. Besides, Zhao Dahai caught a lot of fish himself, so he could make more money.

"grandmother."

"do not worry."

"Xiao Xiang was just talking to me about this. If I don't want to fish all night from evening to early morning, I can just get up earlier and fish during the day."

Zhao Dahai said with a smile that Ding Xiaoxiang had just told him about this matter not long ago.

"Correct!"

"What Xiaoxiang said is right."

"You guys go out to sea for a long time to fish. Fishing all night is not good for your health. If you don't have money, you must try your best. But now you can catch a lot of fish and make a lot of money even if you fish during the day. There is no need to do this."

"Another important thing is fishing at night. It is not as safe as fishing during the day."

Zhong Cuihua patted her knee. What Ding Xiaoxiang said was absolutely right. Zhao Dahai absolutely could not go fishing all night again and again.

"grandmother!"

"Do not worry."

"Xiaoxiang has already told me about this matter, how dare I not listen?"

"If she knew, it would be a terrible thing."

Zhao Dahai smiled. He was really not joking. When Ding Xiaoxiang didn't mention this, he could do whatever he wanted. But once Ding Xiaoxiang started talking about it, he had to listen. Otherwise, Ding Xiaoxiang would definitely be angry with him the next time she saw him. Grandma Zhong Cuihua, Second Grandma Huang Jintao, and Second Grandpa Zhao Shi would definitely not stand on his side.

"It's enough for you to understand this matter."

"It's getting late, go to bed."

"You don't need to get up so early tomorrow. Your second grandmother and I can get up and cook breakfast. It's a rare opportunity to go home and have a good sleep."

Zhong Cuihua urged Zhao Dahai to go to bed quickly.

Zhao Dahai nodded, returned to his room, lay down on the bed, closed his eyes and fell asleep immediately.

"This kid Zhao Dahai is really exhausted."

Huang Jintao listened to the snoring coming from the room, like thunder. She was really tired and fell asleep in less than two seconds.

“It’s not that easy to make money!”

"Zhao Dahai and Zhong Shizhu and a few others caught a lot of fish and made a lot of money, but all this money is from the people. How could they work so hard to make so much money?"

"Xiaoxiang has more things to do and she is more tired. Dahai went out to sea to fish and didn't take care of anything else. He threw everything at home to Xiaoxiang."

"But what can be done about this?"

Zhong Cuihua kept shaking her head as she spoke. Zhao Dahai was very tired, and Ding Xiaoxiang was also very tired.

"Forget it."

"It's no use talking about this. Anyway, we are old. It's not that we don't want to help, but we really can't help. We can't help with the things that Diao Xiaoxiang is busy with."

"Let's just take care of ourselves and not cause any more trouble."

Huang Jintao knew that Zhong Cuihua felt a little distressed when she saw Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang were so busy, but there was really nothing she could do about it. At most, she and Zhong Cuihua could only take a look at the houses being built in the village, and they could not help with anything else.

"you're right."

"If we can't help, then we shouldn't make things worse."

"go!"

"It's getting late, let's go to bed."

Zhong Cuihua smiled, stood up, and went back to her room with Huang Jintao to sleep.

Zhong Shizhu took a sip of wine and let out a comfortable sigh.

"Can't you drink a little less?"

Roland sat nearby and watched. Zhong Shizhu drank up the wine in the glass and picked up the wine jug while talking, and then poured him some more.

"Ha!" "I haven't been drinking much lately!"

"Isn't it just that I'm greedy? Now that I'm back and have two or three days to rest, I must have a good drink."

Zhong Shizhu picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

"How is that possible? Don't you guys go out to sea to drink when you come back? Otherwise, how can you sleep?"

Roland didn't believe Zhong Shizhu's words at all.

Before Zhao Dahai bought the big fishing boat, he would go home every day. Now, most of the time he doesn't go home, but goes straight back to the big fishing boat to sleep and rest.

This way, there will be more time.

Roland knew that Zhao Dahai didn't smoke or drink much, but Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da were some who smoked and drank.

“I really didn’t drink it!”

"It's not that I didn't drink once, but I didn't drink twice."

"I go fishing with Zhao Dahai every day. I am exhausted when I come back. I go to bed right after dinner and fall asleep as soon as I lie down. How can I not sleep without drinking?"

Zhong Shizhu shook his head. In the past, when they went out to sea, he, Lei Dayou and Liu Bin all had the habit of drinking some wine to help them sleep better. However, after going out to sea to fish recently, they really lost this habit and were exhausted every day.

"correct!"

"Ding Xiaoxiang brought money to our families a few days ago!"

"800,000 red envelope!"

Roland suddenly remembered this.

When Ding Xiaoxiang sent the money over a few days ago, my sister, Ma Hongyu and Xu Dongxue were all shocked. They didn't expect so much money.

“This amount of money is indeed a bit too much!”

Zhong Shizhu was stunned for a moment.

Over the past month, Liu Binlei and I took a few people fishing, which was really hard work.

But isn’t it hard work for those who go out to sea to fish?

The money that other people earned after working hard for a month was not as much as the fixed salary of Liu Binlei and I.

A red envelope of eight hundred thousand is truly rare in the world.

"Should we talk to Zhao Hai, Ding Xiaoxiang and the others?"

Roland has been thinking about this matter.

Eighty thousand yuan or something would be fine, but for this person it's eight hundred thousand.

Everyone wants to make more money, but this is really a bit too much.

Zhong Shizhu thought about it and shook his head.

"Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang are both generous people."

"He only cares about making a lot of money, and makes everyone else who works with him suffer!"

"The fish caught this month are indeed a little more than last month, and the prize money has increased for sure."

"Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang are like this. They behave like this."

"Let's take the money!"

"Just work harder!"

Zhong Shizhu knew the personalities of Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang. They would definitely not be stingy when they saw the money. Once they took out the money, there was no way they would take it back.

"Row!"

"You decide on this matter."

"Wait and discuss it with Lei Dayou and Liu Bin tomorrow."

"correct!"

"The weather has been bad these past two days, so you guys should come back to rest, right? It's rare that everyone is at home. How about Ma Hongyu, Xu Dongxue and I go buy some groceries and cook tomorrow, and we can have a good meal together?"

Roland thought of this matter. It had been several days since Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da had rested at home. This was a rare opportunity.

"Row!"

"It's settled. Tomorrow morning you go find Ma Hongyu and Xu Dongxue and talk to Aunt Zhong Cuihua."

"If you are free at noon, you can eat at noon. If you are free at night, you can eat at night."

Zhong Shizhu nodded without thinking. They had been too busy recently and had no chance to get together for dinner. Now was a good opportunity.

Zhong Shizhu drank some wine and saw that it was getting late. He had been very busy and tired recently. His eyelids could hardly hold up. He simply stopped drinking, stood up, went back to his room and fell asleep.

Roland packed his things and lay down on the bed, but he couldn't fall asleep for a while. Now he, Ma Hongyu and Xu Dongxue all had a lot of money and they had to figure out how to spend it.

Six o'clock in the morning.

It's just dawn.

Roland walked out of the yard and walked quickly towards Ma Hongyu's home. Just as he reached the gate of the yard, he saw Ma Hongyu a few meters away, pushing the door open and walking out.

"What are you going to do? Why are you up so early?!"

Roland immediately called out to Ma Hongyu.

"I was just about to find you!"

"I'm thinking of having a meal together as a family at noon or in the evening."

Ma Hongyu laughed as soon as she saw Roland.

"go!"

"Let's go find Xu Dongxue together. I came to you to talk about this matter as well."

As Roland spoke, he turned and walked towards Xu Dongxue's home.

Ma Hongyu followed immediately.

Roland and Ma Hongyu walked to the door of Xu Dongxue's house and shouted.

When Xu Dongxue came out and heard what happened, she was immediately happy. She was thinking of looking for Roland and Ma Hongyu soon, but she didn't expect that they came to her door first.

Roland, Ma Hongyu and Xu Dongxue gathered together and walked to the door of Zhao Dahai's house. They didn't shout loudly, but shouted softly.

"Why are you three here?"

Huang Jintao opened the door and saw Roland, Ma Hongyu and Xu Dongxue.

"When is Zhao Dahai free at noon or in the evening? Let's think about it. It's rare for you to come back, and the families haven't eaten together for a while."

Ma Hongyu started talking as soon as she saw Huang Jintao, thinking about having lunch together at noon or in the evening.

"Let's just eat a little at noon, and then have a meal together in the evening."

Zhong Cuihua walked out of the yard. When the sun rose, Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da had just woken up. Sometimes they would just eat something and then take a nap, which would make it easier to recover their strength. The family hadn't had a meal together for a while, so they ate together in the evening.

Ma Hongyu, Xu Dongxue and Luo Lan all nodded. Zhong Cuihua was very thoughtful.
