Going back to the old days of hunting at sea

Chapter 795 Spend a small amount of money to accomplish big things
Chen Hui rode his tricycle to Wu Guang's house first.

The front door of his house was closed, but it sounded very noisy in the yard.
It was not yet dawn, but they had already eaten breakfast and were outside in the yard preparing to dig sweet potato rice.

Chen Hui parked the car and called inside: "Uncle Guang!"

"Hey! Who called me?"

Wu Guang responded loudly and opened the door to come out.

It was Chen Hui who turned around and shouted, "Boss, bring me that bag of sweet potatoes."

Wu Guang’s eldest son quickly brought out a bag, which weighed five or six kilograms of sweet potatoes.

Wu Guang took the bag and handed it to Chen Hui, "Here, I saved it for you. This kind is very sweet. I planted some this year to save for you to eat."

Chen Hui doesn’t like sweet potato rice, but he quite likes fresh sweet potatoes.

He took the bag with a smile, turned sideways and put it into the back compartment.

Pointing to the fish basket, he said, "Thank you, Uncle Guang. This is the fishing net that needs to be mended."

Wu Guang nodded, pulled up a fishing net and looked at it. "Where did you go this time? Why is the catch so good?"

The more fish are caught, the more fishing nets will be pulled when removing the fish.

Just by looking at the fishing net, Wu Guang knew that he had returned with a full load this time.

"I don't know either. I went to sleep as soon as I got on the boat. It was a fishing boat driven by my uncle and Uncle Wei."

"Tell Aunt Yuzhu to replenish it quickly. It might be needed tomorrow." Chen Hui specifically instructed.

"It's okay. There's more on the fishing boat. You can use it first."

"We planted a lot of sweet potatoes this year, so it will take us five or six days to make sweet potato rice."

Wu Guang talked and laughed as he took two large baskets of fishing nets off the tricycle.

"Let Aunt Yuzhu make up for it first. It might be needed tomorrow."

"I won't say any more to you. I'm in a hurry to return the car to Li Jianshe."

"They will come to you later and you will know the situation."

Chen Hui said this, waved his hand and rode back to the dock.

Wei Jianjun and the others have already gone back.

Wu Shuisheng moved the fishing boat to a more remote location and waited at Li Jianshe's purchasing stall. He would then take Chen Hui to the village to borrow a phone to make a call.

"Uncle, thank you!"

"There is a bag of sweet potatoes in this bag. You can take it back and eat it later."

The things were already in front of him, and Chen Hui was too embarrassed to just take them and leave.

He took three or four from the bag and took them away, and left the rest to Li Jianshe.

Li Jianshe was weighing the fish properly.

When he heard Chen Hui's voice, he suddenly jumped up.

He strode over, picked up the bag and stuffed it into Chen Hui's arms: "Leave the rest, but take this away!"

After saying that, he didn't have time to say anything more and hurried back to work.

Chen Hui was confused and looked at Wu Shuisheng in confusion while holding the sweet potato.

Wu Shuisheng smiled, grabbed both sides of the bag and opened it, letting Chen Hui put what he had in his hand in as well.

As they walked, they explained:

"Jianshe's family was poor, and we even ate sweet potato rice on the first day of the Lunar New Year. We were really scared of eating sweet potatoes."

Chen Hui thought about it and agreed.

As the only child in the family.

After he turned ten, Chen Hui basically ate rice, and he lived a good life for several decades.

Even so, he didn't like to eat sweet potato rice, let alone someone who had been eating it for half his life.

"Uncle, wait for me."

The two walked past the grocery store on the dock.

Chen Hui went in and bought a pack of cigarettes.

Tear open the cigarette and go to the village committee of Dasa Village to distribute the cigarettes.

Then borrow the phone.

Not only their clerk, but even another villager who came to borrow the phone, waited without a single complaint.

Chen Hui first called Chen Yaozu and talked about having dinner tomorrow.

Chen Yaozu asked Chen Hui to keep the naked-breasted eel.

After it’s done, cook some of it and eat it tomorrow night, and prepare the rest for Li Xu to take away.

Don't worry about the price, just calculate it as you want. "Is this the only fish you're going to take this time? What about the others? No more?" Chen Yaozu asked.

It’s been a long time since I sent fish to Huang Xiu Lian and He Juan Juan.

Both the three swords and the tiger are good this time.

Chen Hui hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Well, there are two conches, about four or five pounds."

"Snail."

"Such a big snail is too expensive to buy in a restaurant, and there is no way to get there."

"Then you arrange it yourself, we'll come over tomorrow." Chen Yaozu said thoughtfully.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yaozu called Huang Xiu Lian again.

I heard that Chen Hui got three knives and tiger fish this time.

Although the fish are caught with a row of hooks, they are brought back alive, which is not much different from sea fishing.

Huang Xiu Lian was very happy and asked Chen Hui to send it over after he had breakfast.

Chen Hui asked again if he wanted conch.

Huang Xiu Lian asked her nanny in a hoarse voice.

The conclusion is: neither of them knows how to cook, so if Chen Hui can help, they can send it over together.

"I really don't have time these two days."

"How about I keep it first? And then bring it to you after I'm done with these two days of work?" Chen Hui asked.

"I think it's okay."

Huang Xiu Lian agreed.

Just as I was about to hang up the phone, I suddenly remembered the bedding I ordered.

Then he asked anxiously, "Don't hang it up yet! Is our bed cover ready? Can it be sent over together?"

"It was ready yesterday. I'll deliver it to you later."

When Chen Hui returned home in the morning, he took a special look at the workshop.

At the top of the container, there is a row of packaging bags made of scraps of cloth neatly arranged.

Just by looking at the quantity, you can tell that all the goods are ready this time.

"Then hurry up! I'll wait for you to deliver it before I go buy groceries."

Huang Xiu Lian gave some instructions and hung up the phone.

A villager who was waiting to use the phone knocked on Chen Hui's door and asked, "Brother, are you done with your call? Can it be my turn now?"

"It's over! Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

"Come on, have another cigarette."

Chen Hui said this embarrassedly and took out two more cigarettes and gave them to him.

"Ouch! How embarrassing is this!"

Because the villagers had been waiting for several minutes, the slight dissatisfaction in their hearts disappeared in an instant.

I exchanged a few polite words with Chen Hui.

After taking the cigarette, he praised Wu Shuisheng's nephew highly.

"That's a good idea! I didn't even smoke a pack of cigarettes, but I did you a favor."

The two men walked out of the village, and Wu Shuisheng pointed at the half pack of cigarettes left in Chen Hui's hand and said.

Chen Hui used to buy them only for village clerks.

After so many times, he wanted to answer but didn't dare to.

By dividing it this way, he saved money and got the job done, and he could accept it generously.

"Yeah! There's still half a pack left to honor my uncle."

"But I still think that you should quit smoking if you can. It will be healthier."

As Chen Hui spoke, he gave the remaining half pack of cigarettes to Wu Shuisheng.

When the two returned home, they happened to meet Huang Miao who came to look for him.

"Goushun, are you taking a break today?"

"You came at a perfect time. Have you had breakfast? Together?" Chen Hui asked.

“Just ready to eat!”

"Your mother-in-law asked me to tell you that there have been many people coming to the village to look for you these past few days."
