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

Chapter 1644 Get a good night's sleep first

"Grandma! Second Grandma!"

"There's something we need to discuss!"

Ding Xiaoxiang watched as Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming closed the door and went to sleep. She turned her head and looked at Zhong Cuihua and Huang Jintao sitting next to her.

"Are you implying that Second Grandfather and the others can't stay at sea for such a long time?"

Golden Peach slapped her knee.

Ding Xiaoxiang had just told Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming to rest for two days before buying a fishing boat.

They must be thinking about this.

"Ok!"

"That's it!"

"My second grandfather and Grandpa Shi are both in good health now."

"If I have to work, then there's no way around it; I'll definitely have to go out to sea."

"But right now, there's really no need to do any work."

"My second grandfather and Grandpa Shi are now used to life at sea."

"But no matter what, they are people who have spent their whole lives at sea and have spent their whole lives catching fish."

"It's definitely more humid at sea!"

"Second Grandpa and Grandpa Shi have been at sea for a little too long!"

"I'm thinking I should probably try to control it a bit."

"It's not that we can't go out, but we really can't stay like this for a month or even longer."

"Isn't that unnecessary?"

Ding Xiaoxiang didn't pay much attention to this matter at first, but now she feels that it is very important.

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming both loved going out to sea and enjoyed spending time on Ding Dawen's large fishing boat.

This is a habit I developed over many years of fishing at sea or taking others fishing.

However, just because you have this habit doesn't mean you have to do it, especially now that you're older, doing so is really not a good thing.

Zhong Cuihua and Huang Jintao listened and nodded.

"That's how it is. We really need to be a little more careful about it."

"Now that we're making money and life is better, we definitely need to pay attention to this. We need to live a few more years!"

Huang Jintao glanced at the room where Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming were sleeping, then closed the door.

Ding Xiaoxiang is right about this; we really need to be careful and mindful of it.

"Xiao Xiang".

"You should talk to your second grandfather and grandfather Shi about this."

"If these two old men don't listen to me..."

“Tell us about this again.”

Zhong Cuihua strongly agreed with what Ding Xiaoxiang said.

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming love going out to sea. Lately, whenever they don't have anything to do, they spend all their time on Ding Dawen's big fishing boat.

Even though we haven't actually done any work, we absolutely cannot continue doing this.

You can go out to sea and board a large fishing boat, but you absolutely cannot stay out for this long.

"Row!"

"I'll talk to my second grandfather and grandfather Shi about this later."

"I think about ten days a month is enough, fifteen days at most."

"The time we spend here is either back at the fish farm, or back in the village, or at the dock."

"My dad's business is starting to pick up, isn't it? It's very crowded and lively there."

"My second grandfather and Grandpa Shi, they go to that place to smoke, drink tea, and chat. They have a very good life."

"There's no need to go to Brother Wen's fishing boat."

Ding Xiaoxiang nodded.

Zhong Cuihua's words implied that she was now in charge of her own affairs.

In matters like this, you arrange things yourself, speak for yourself, and make your own decisions.

No matter what Zhao Shi says, he has to listen to me.

"Xiao Xiang".

"Zhao Dahai spends all his time fishing outside."

“We two old women are too old to speak or manage things.”

"Your second grandfather is already quite old."

"You're the one who has to make the decisions about everything at home."

"You're the one in charge."

"No matter what you say or do, you don't need to think too much."

"The person in charge must demonstrate the abilities of a head of the household."

"Things that need to be managed must be managed."

Huang Jintao patted his knees.

Why did Ding Xiaoxiang discuss this matter with me and Zhong Cuihua just now?

Actually, she felt that Zhong Cuihua was still making the decisions in the family, or perhaps she was considering her own feelings, or perhaps Zhao Shi was an elder and there were some things she couldn't say or some ideas she couldn't share.

This matter needs to be made clear.

"Xiao Xiang".

“Your second grandmother is right, that’s exactly what happened.”

"Zhao Dahai didn't go too far to fish."

"If there's really something that needs to be discussed, we can get there in a day or half a day by speedboat."

"But no matter what, you still have to handle most things and make the decisions."

"It's just like what your second grandmother just said, you have to be in charge of this family."

"When you're in charge of a family, you have to have the presence and authority of a leader."

Zhong Cuihua nodded heavily.

One is that Ding Xiaoxiang is very smart, and the other is that Ding Xiaoxiang stays at home all year round, so she has to make decisions on everything, big or small.

From any perspective, Ding Xiaoxiang must be in charge, but she is too old, Huang Jintao is too old, and Zhao Shi is too old.

Ding Xiaoxiang couldn't possibly ignore this matter; it needed to be clarified so that she could make decisions and take action more easily.

"Row!"

"Grandma! Second Grandma! I know about this. I will handle it carefully in the future. I will definitely make decisions when necessary."

Ding Xiaoxiang nodded firmly without hesitation and agreed.

Being in charge is no fun; it's a responsibility, and a huge one at that.

One is to treat everyone fairly; another is to do things honestly; a third is to think things through carefully before acting; and a very important one is to take care of everyone and ensure that everyone has food to eat.

Ding Xiaoxiang knew very well that Zhong Cuihua and Huang Jintao were right. Although Zhao Dahai lived not far away, he spent most of the year fishing. Not to mention, sometimes he had to go to the deep sea, and when he went to the deep sea, he would be gone for a month, or even more than a month or two.

During such a long period, it's impossible for things to be quiet at home; there must have been things, sometimes even major or urgent matters that required immediate decision-making and handling. Honestly, at this time, there's really no one else but myself; I have to be the head of the household and make the decisions.

Ding Xiaoxiang watched Zhong Cuihua and Huang Jintao talk for a while, then left the fish raft and went to the dock to take care of other things.

"This family really needs Ding Xiaoxiang to run it; we're both getting old."

Huang Jintao watched as Ding Xiaoxiang drove the speedboat away from the fish farm and soon arrived at the dock.

"Is there even a need to say it?"

"Don't even mention that we're old. Even if we weren't old, we're still far behind Ding Xiaoxiang in terms of running the household."

"None of the other family members have this insight or this ability."

"I definitely can't manage this household; I need to settle down and focus."

"We're not senile yet, we need to talk to our families about this."

Zhong Cuihua thought about it and realized that she needed to talk to everyone in her family about Huang Jintao.

Golden Peach nodded immediately.

This is really true, and I really need to talk to my family about it.

"Sister-in-law."

"You don't need to worry about this."

"If someone else were in charge, they might not be able to handle it, and the family members might have something to say."

"As for Ding Xiaoxiang, there's really no need to worry about her."

"This girl looks young, but she's got a lot on her mind!"

"Some have ideas, some have thoughts, and some have methods."

"It's not that I look down on the people in my family, but none of them have the ability to compete with Ding Xiaoxiang."

"Besides, in this world, the person who makes money is always the boss."

"In the whole family, no matter which relative it is, who can earn as much money as Zhao Dahai? Who can earn as much money as Ding Xiaoxiang?"

"A person without money can never stand up straight."

Huang Jintao knew that Zhong Cuihua might be a little worried about this matter, but in fact there was really no need to worry.

Ding Xiaoxiang is an extremely intelligent person. She handles everything very well and is very resourceful, which is something that ordinary people cannot match.

In addition, Zhao Dahai is not only good at making money, but he can make a lot of money.

Even Ding Xiaoxiang herself can make money, and she's very good at it.

When such a person opens their mouth, everyone else, especially those in their family, has to behave obediently and listen to them.

Is there anyone who doesn't listen?
There might really be people who are so blind, but they'll just have to be taught a lesson.

If something really happens, it will be absolutely impossible to get Ding Xiaoxiang's help again.

Zhong Cuihua thought about it carefully, and it really was true.

Ding Xiaoxiang is truly a capable person; none of the others in her family can rival her.

"Come on!"

“We’re all too old to manage these things, so we don’t need to concern ourselves with them. Anyway, Ding Xiaoxiang has to take care of the family. How he manages it is his business. We just need to follow his instructions.”

"It's getting late, we need to go to sleep."

Zhong Cuihua stood up while laughing.

If Huang Jintao and I simply hand these tasks over to Ding Xiaoxiang, she'll have plenty of ways to handle them.

There's really no need for me and Huang Jintao to worry about anything.

The sun rose higher and higher.

The temperature at the dock was extremely high in the afternoon.

Ding Chongshan picked up the teapot and poured freshly brewed hot tea for Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming, who were sitting on the sofa opposite him.

"Second Uncle Shi."

"Why are you two back? Weren't you on Ding Dawen's fishing boat?"

Ding Chongshan found it a bit strange.

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming really enjoy life on the fishing boat, and have been spending a lot of time on Ding Dawen's big fishing boat recently.

Now he's come into his own shop, and he seems to be alright.

"We came back yesterday, and we were planning to come to the dock and sit here for a while."

"But Ding Xiaoxiang's daughter thinks that the two old men have been on Ding Dawen's fishing boat for too long, and that we need to get a good night's sleep when we get back to the fish raft or the dock."

"The only time we can come here to sit for a while is now."

As Shi Guangming spoke, he gently shook his head and sighed.

Zhao Shi and I wanted to buy a big fishing boat as soon as we got back yesterday, but Ding Xiaoxiang said we needed to rest on the fish raft for a while before we could get busy with the boat purchase.

Especially since Zhong Cuihua and Huang Jintao had both spoken up, Zhao Shi and he had no other choice but to stay obediently on the fish raft.

"Shi Guangming".

"You have to admit, we definitely slept better on the fish raft, and when I slept this morning, I felt great, and my energy and spirits were all very high."

"Xiao Xiang is right. We are both getting old. After coming back from outside, we definitely need to get a good night's sleep and rest."

Zhao Shi took a puff of his water pipe, exhaling a thick cloud of smoke, and turned to look at Shi Guangming.

"All right!"

"That's true. After a good night's sleep, we were full of energy when we woke up this morning."

Shi Guangming had to admit that it was true.

"Second Uncle. Uncle Shi."

"We're both getting on in years."

"Ding Dawen's fishing boat is indeed quite large, but there shouldn't be any major problems if you stay on it."

"But no matter what, it's still rocking back and forth on the sea."

"It's not a problem in the short term, but it will have some impact in the long term."

"If you spend your time on a fishing boat, you should definitely take a good rest when you return to the fish raft or go ashore and go home."

"I think the two of you can't stay on Ding Dawen's fishing boat for such a long time in the future."

"Eight or ten days a month is already a long time."

Ding Chongshan smiled.

I only found out what happened after Shi Guangming told me about it.

They returned early last night, but their daughter, Ding Xiaoxiang, wouldn't let them go to the dock.

They insisted on taking a good nap on the fish raft first.

Ding Chongshan strongly agreed.

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming are indeed quite old.

No matter how healthy you are, you still need to take good care of yourself and avoid overexertion or excessive physical exertion.

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming are spending far too much time on Ding Dawen's fishing boat.

Anyone who goes to sea knows very well that doing this is not a good thing.
