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

Chapter 1165 Stay a Few Days Longer
"Why would it be necessary to do this?"

"We can't finish all the fish here. There's no need to steam them, and there's no need to kill chickens!"

Huang Jintao kept shaking her head.

"Second Grandma!"

"It's rare for you to come to Fish Fillet, so you must have a good meal."

"Besides, these fish and the like would cost a lot of money to buy in other places, but on our fish racks, there are so many of them!"

“Not worth anything at all!”

"I don't know how much Zhao Dahai catches every day when he goes out to sea. He can eat as much as you want!"

Ding Xiaoxiang knew that Huang Jintao was just thinking about saving money.

"Alright, alright!"

"We don't need to worry about this. Xiaoxiang will make the arrangements, and we'll eat whatever we have."

"Isn't it just a few crabs and a red snapper or something?"

"I really want to eat now!"

Zhong Cuihua waved her hand. Now she could really eat whatever she wanted.

"Correct!"

"Second Grandma."

"You don't have to worry about this. Just let my sister arrange it for lunch!"

"This place is quite spacious. I'll bring two stools for you and grandma, so you can sit here."

"Let's go to Haifeng or something and wait for the meal to be cooked and then we'll eat here."

After saying that, Ding Ailian turned and ran into a room next door, moved out a few stools, and placed them on the platform between the two fish racks. A sunshade cloth had already been pulled up on the roof. The sun was hanging in the sky, but the temperature was not too high, and it was very comfortable when the wind blew.

"Xiaoxiang."

"A few speedboats came last night and didn't go far. They stayed nearby."

Zhao Shi recounted in detail what happened last night, especially how Ding Ailian and Ma Baozhu handled the matter.

Ding Xiaoxiang was very surprised. She never expected Ding Ailian and Ma Baozhu to be like this.

"You didn't expect that?"

"Ding Ailian and Ma Baozhu were very tough in handling this matter. It seems that what we are worried about will not happen. We are worrying too much."

"It's enough to leave the things here to Ding Ailian and Ma Baozhu. There's no need for two old men like us to be here."

Zhao Shi pointed at Ma Baozhu who was busy at the other end of the fish rack, and then pointed at Ding Ailian who came out of the kitchen.

"Correct!"

"We are indeed being too cautious in this matter!"

"The women in our fishing village will never suffer any loss!"

"Besides, there are so many people here at the fish farm!"

Ding Xiaoxiang thought about it carefully and had to admit that she, Zhao Shi, Shi Guangming and even Zhao Dahai were a little too cautious in this matter. There was no need to be like this. Ding Ailian, Ma Baozhu and the people on the fish raft could handle everything.

"Second Grandpa."

"Grandpa Shi."

"In this case, I don't think you two need to carry this fish steak."

Ding Xiaoxiang made up her mind immediately.

I was worried that Ding Ailian and Ma Baozhu did not have enough experience and would not be able to deal with certain things.

Only then did he hope that Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming would stay on the fish rack for a while.

From what happened last night, it can be seen that Ding Ailian and Ma Baozhu were not afraid or stage-frightened at all. In this case, Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming really didn't need to stay on the fish rack.

"We have to let Sister Baozhu and Ding Ailian handle the fish fillet issue on their own."

"After a while, you will know everything and be able to do everything!"

Ding Ailian immediately thought of this matter.

"Correct!"

"We both think the same way."

Zhao Shi nodded.

"what!"

"I have already agreed with Zhao Shi that we will go out to sea together when Ding Dawen's fishing boat comes back or when Wu Weimin wants to go fishing."

Shi Guangming smiled. He and Zhao Shi had already agreed to go to Ding Dawen's fishing boat in a few days.

"grandmother!"

"Second Grandma!"

"How about we live on this fish raft for a few days?"

Ding Xiaoxiang pointed at Xiao Naihei, who was running around on the fishing raft and couldn't stop for a moment. Xiao Naihei was brought along on this trip. Unlike other dogs who were a little cautious when they first got on the fishing raft, Xiao Naihei was extremely happy to be on the fishing raft.

"Golden peach."

"What do you think?"

"We have been working here for such a long time, why don't we just stay here for a few days? Anyway, the wind and waves are not strong now, and this fish farm is well built and very stable."

Zhong Cuihua looked at Huang Jintao.

I went out today because I wanted to see what Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang have been doing recently.

There is a shop and a fish farm at the pier. I was grinning from ear to ear when I saw the shop just now. That place is indeed good. If I buy the place, I will definitely have to raise the price.

When we got up to the fish rack, we found that this place was very stable, and there were so many people on the fish rack that it was very lively.

Zhong Cuihua was thinking about staying in this place for a few days.

"Row!"

"We have nothing else to do right now, so why not just stay here for a few days!"

Huang Jintao agreed immediately. This place was really nice. The fish racks were wide and large. She and Zhong Cuihua could stroll around here every day. They just had to avoid walking on the edges of the fish cages. These small platforms were very wide and it was very comfortable for the two of them to stay there.

"Then this matter is settled!"

"Let's live on the fish raft for a few days while everyone waits for us to have fun. If we want to go back someday, we can go to the town and take a look at the building. It's almost finished now."

When Ding Xiaoxiang heard that Zhong Cuihua and Huang Jintao agreed to stay at the fish raft for a few days, she immediately smiled. Zhao Dahai had mentioned this before going out to sea.

Don't think that Zhong Cuihua and Huang Jintao can keep each other company in the village, but no matter what, there are not many people in the village now.

It’s different here at the fish raft. Ding Ailian, Ma Baozhu and the people working on the fish raft are together all day long. It’s very lively.

You don't have to cook for yourself, and there's no one to cook for you. Every day you just talk to the people on the fish rack and watch them work.

Older people do not like the hustle and bustle a bit, but it cannot be completely deserted. You can stay in the fish raft for a few days, or ten days or so, and then go back to the village when you want to go back.

"grandmother."

"The fishing area in the sea is not too far from here." "Didn't we buy a big fishing boat?"

"When Da Wen's fishing boat comes back, we can go out with him. That way, we can see each other when we come back from fishing in the sea, right?"

Ding Xiaoxiang came up with an idea.

"We can just stay here on the fish raft. We'd better not go on the fishing boat."

"The sea and the others go out to sea to work, so we two old ladies shouldn't go there and cause trouble."

Zhong Cuihua shook her head.

"Row!"

"Let's just stay here at the fish paddock for a few days!"

Ding Xiaoxiang smiled and nodded. She knew that Zhong Cuihua didn't want to go out to the fishing boats so that she wouldn't see Zhao Dahai when he came back from fishing. It was just that she knew that as long as the Shanghai fishing boats went out to sea, Zhao Dahai or Ding Dawen would have to distract themselves to take care of them.

Ding Xiaoxiang didn't have to say that it didn't matter and it had no impact. Zhong Cuihua had her own ideas. If she really didn't want to go out, there was no need for her to say that she must go out.

Ding Ailian walked over. The meal had already been cooked in the kitchen. A table and chairs were placed on the large platform between the two fish racks. All the dishes were served and everyone gathered together to eat.

Ding Xiaoxiang had something to do, so she left the fish restaurant immediately after dinner.

Huang Jintao and Zhong Cuihua pulled up stools and sat down.

"It's really more lively on the fish steak, which is not bad."

Huang Jintao was looking at the fishing lines around her as she spoke. From time to time, she could see sea bass or black porgy swimming around on the water.

"That's right!"

"I've lived in the village for a long time. It's really nice to live on the fish raft for a few days. It's a change of pace."

Zhong Cuihua smiled and nodded. There were more people on the fish rack.

"Fish fry isn't the most fun thing now! It will be the most fun when it gets dark!"

"grandmother!"

"Second Grandma!"

"Should we wait until night time to go fishing?"

Ma Baozhu packed up her things and came over, pulled a stool and sat in front of Zhong Cuihua and Huang Jintao, peeled the orange in her hand and handed it to Zhong Cuihua and Huang Jintao.

"Row!"

"We can do whatever we want!"

"correct!"

"What's the work on this fish steak like? Is it a lot?"

Zhong Cuihua patted Ma Baozhu's hand and pointed at the fish fillet.

"How many live fish are there on this fish rack?"

"All the fish here were caught by Zhao Dahai and his friends at sea. They are kept here for a while, but we have to sell a lot of fish every day! If it weren't for the fishing off-season, there wouldn't be so many fish in this fish farm."

"There's no need to keep this fish."

"We are actually looking at these fish on this fish row."

"One is to keep an eye on the fish to see if there is anything wrong with them, and the other most important thing is to keep an eye on the fish to prevent other people from coming here to cause trouble."

"People nowadays are very brotherly. Ding Ailian and I actually have nothing to do in this place."

Ma Baozhu was not joking. There was really not much for him and Ding Ailian to do here.

"There are so many fish in this fish farm, so it must be watched by someone you know and trust. How can you be assured with someone else?"

"The fish in the fish fillet are all big. Not to mention the porridge and other things, this 20-pound sea bass alone can sell for a lot of money!"

Huang Jintao pointed to a large sea bass that swam up to the surface of a fish cage.

During the half day here, you can see fish swimming out of the water from the net cage from time to time.

These fish are very large, with the sea bass all weighing more than 10 or 18 kilograms, and some even weighing 20 or 30 kilograms.

As for the black sea bream, they all weigh several kilograms.

Not to mention the more valuable grouper that is barely visible from under the bowl and box.

Huang Jintao knew very well that Ding Ailian and Ma Baozhu were staying in this place not to work, but to watch the fish.

"Ok!"

"Ailian and I are here to watch these fish!"

"There is nothing else to do. I just walk around here and look at the fish every day, then eat and sleep."

"I've never done such an easy job and yet received so much money."

Ma Baozhu started laughing as he spoke.

"Correct!"

“It’s really easy to work here!”

Ding Ailian said this as she urged Xiao Naihei to come over.

"Little Naihei is so human!"

"Just now, when the two of us were circling around on the fish row, a big sea bass jumped up and was about to jump out. Little Blackie grabbed the fish with one claw and put it back into the fish row!"

Ding Ailian was gesturing as she spoke, she was very excited. The fish just jumped up next to her, but she didn't have time to react at all. Xiao Naihei slapped the jumped fish back into the fish rack with just one claw. This was not a simple matter. One was his quick reaction, and the other was that it was obvious how strong Xiao Naihei was. The fish that jumped up was a real sea bass weighing nearly 20 kilograms.

"grandmother!"

"When will Xiao Naihei give birth to puppies? Make sure to leave one for me, and we'll raise them on this fish rack."

The more Ding Ailian looks at Xiaonaihei, the happier and more she likes him. This is a female dog, so she will definitely give birth to puppies, and one of the puppies must be kept on the fish rack.

"It's hard to say. There are so many people eyeing the puppy under Xiao Naihei."

"Now I wonder how many puppies this first litter will add!"

Zhong Cuihua shook her head. It was really hard to say at the moment. One reason was that there might not be too many puppies born from a litter of Little Blackie. The other reason was that there were too many people who wanted Little Blackie puppies.

"Is there any need to talk about this? These fish fillets belong to Brother Dahai, not to other people's fish plates. You need to keep a dog in this place."

"Whoever wants a puppy will have to queue up in the back. They won't be able to get in the front."

Ding Ailian was confident.

"what!"

"I think what Ding Ailian said is right. This is actually the truth. Who among those people doesn't want puppies born by a bitch like Xiao Naohei? But this fish fillet is Zhao Dahai's fish fillet. You can't give it to others when you don't have any puppies yet."

Shi Guangming gave a thumbs up. What Ding Ailian said made a lot of sense. In fact, it was like this. If this fish fillet belonged to someone else, then there would be nothing to say. But this fish fillet belonged to Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang, so one of the puppies born by Xiao Naihei must be left here.

"Row!"

"Then it's settled. When Xiao Naihei gives birth to puppies, I'll leave one fish fillet here to raise."

Zhong Cuihua thought about it, smiled and nodded. What he said was actually not wrong. The matter was settled. She would wait for Xiao Naihei to give birth to puppies and leave one here. She had made the decision.
