Going back to the old days of hunting at sea

Chapter 874 I can’t find a partner, I’ll be beaten to death

Chen Hui was humming a song as he reached the bridge.

Then Chen Kaiming and the clerk came over from the village.

Chen Kaiming saw Chen Hui quicken his pace and walked over to him and said, "I haven't seen you for several days. Where have you been?"

"I'm doing some work in the county these two days. Uncle is looking for me?"

There are more and more things to do now, and I spend less and less time in the village.

When Chen Hui saw Chen Kaiming, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

"I have something to talk to you about. Let's talk at my house."

Chen Kaiming said this and took Chen Hui and the clerk home.

The three of them sat together at the tea table in the corner of the hall and made tea.

Seeing that there was something fun to be had, Chen Xiaoqiao took a small stool and came over to listen.

"Son, light up the stove and boil some water first."

Chen Kaiming explained.

Then he asked Chen Hui, "Are you ready for the unveiling of the red silk tomorrow?"

"I'm ready. I even bought a new set of clothes today!" said Chen Hui.

There is nothing else to prepare.

He saw the Liufang stele at the entrance of the village when he came back.

A whole piece of thin red cloth, loosely stuck with tape.

When the time comes, just pull it down hard to tear off the red cloth.

"There is one more thing, you need to find a way to arrange it."

"The county won't come very early tomorrow. It's expected to start at 9:30 or 10. It will be almost time for dinner when we're done."

"We thought that after the ceremony, we would let the leaders have lunch in the village."

"It's both a thank-you banquet and a celebration banquet."

After Chen Kaiming finished speaking, he smiled at Chen Hui.

"Chen Hui, no one else can do this job well except you."

"You have the most respectable house in the village, and you are the only one who has experience in preparing such formal banquets."

"Don't worry about the money. The village community will provide it."

"Just go ahead and buy the food. We've inquired about your charges and will charge according to your request."

The clerk tacitly supplemented Chen Kaiming's words.

Now that this matter has come to the fore, there is no way to push it away.

Chen Hui sorted out his thoughts.

"Uncle, you said that too suddenly. I don't even have time to go out to sea."

"I'll go to the dock early tomorrow morning to see if any fishing boats have brought back any goodies."

"If not, I can only buy whatever is available at the dock," said Chen Hui.

"That's not a problem! You don't have to eat that well."

"Most of them can be everyday items, just bring a few special ones to impress the leaders."

Chen Kaiming said it was not a big problem.

"There is also the issue of manpower. I need to make time to attend the event. Wen Jing has to go to work in the morning, so I need a few more people to help with the work."

"I went to the dock by myself, and I need someone to help me buy vegetables at the county market." Chen Hui continued.

"I'll go buy it for you tomorrow."

Chen Xiaoqiao said this very righteously.

He was immediately disliked by Chen Kaiming and the clerk.

"How can you know how to buy groceries? What you're going to buy won't be good, and your money will be charged too high."

Chen Kaiming rejected Chen Xiaoqiao's enthusiasm.

"We have already arranged the grocery shopping. Please write a list of what you need to buy."

"Master Jiang has a tricycle at home, and my wife can ride it."

"Let her go buy it with Chen Lianying early tomorrow morning," said the clerk.

"Okay, then there's no problem on my end."

"The village can just pay for the food. There's no need to give me any more money."

"It's embarrassing to charge money for doing something for the village."

Chen Hui nodded in agreement and added another instruction.

"That won't work. Let's put things in perspective. What should be given must still be given," said Chen Kaiming.

Chen Hui knew that he was stubborn and would argue for a long time if he refused to charge him. He suggested that he only pay the cost of firewood, seasoning and rice.

I feel embarrassed to earn money from the village community myself.

Chen Kaiming still felt that it was not possible.

The clerk held him down and said:
"Just do as Chen Hui said!"

"This brat is really different after getting married. His vision has become bigger."

"If everyone in the village could be as sensible as him, our work would be much easier."

The water in the teapot is ready.

Chen Xiaoqiao put the teapot in front of Chen Kaiming while saying, "Be careful! Be careful!"

Chen Kaiming glanced at him.

I couldn't help but say: "Chen Hui is the one who understands things. Not everyone can get married."

"Xiaoqiao is doing well now. Being stable and not causing trouble is better than anything else."

The clerk hurriedly helped to find an additional sentence.

After decades of training, Chen Xiaoqiao has become thick-skinned.

I don't take this kind of yin and yang seriously at all.

We sat down together, drinking tea and chatting about the next day.

This is all arranged by the village community and has nothing to do with Chen Hui.

He listened for a while, rubbed Chen Xiaoqiao and asked in a low voice: "Do you want to go to the beach tonight?"

"No, it's so cold."

"It's gotten a lot colder these past two days. I feel like it's going to snow soon."

Chen Xiaoqiao shook his head to express his resistance.

"Get you something that Aunt Shuhui likes to eat? Crabs? Mantis shrimps?" Chen Hui continued to ask.

"Um"

Chen Xiaoqiao became a little hesitant.

Although the temperature is very low today, there is no wind.

It should be fine if you don't go into the water and just wear something thicker and wait on the surface.

"If we can get some good stuff that money can't buy, we can bring honor to the village tomorrow."

"Then just say you got it back."

"You will be able to live a good life for a long time, being a useless person with peace of mind and not being despised by others."

Chen Hui added a few more words in a low voice.

Chen Xiaoqiao's defenses completely collapsed. "Okay, let's go after dinner."

"Brother-in-law! Mom is calling you to come home for dinner! My eldest aunt and uncle are already here."

An Wenyi shouted loudly and walked in from outside.

Several people's attention was immediately drawn and they looked in the direction of the sound.

"Xiao Wenyi is getting more and more beautiful! Are you wearing new clothes today?" the clerk greeted with a smile.

"Yeah! I just bought it today!"

"This dress was bought for me by my brother-in-law. It's really beautiful!"

"And this pair of shoes, which my brother-in-law also bought for me, my feet don't feel cold at all when I wear them."

"My brother-in-law also bought me other clothes and pants!"

An Wenyi pointed at the clothes and raised one foot.

I wish I could go home and take out the other set to show off.

"You're not a brother-in-law at all, you're more like a father."

The clerk looked at Chen Hui and sighed, then asked with a smile, "How about brother-in-law?"

"Great! My brother-in-law is the best brother-in-law in the world!"

"Uncle Xiaohong, you should look for someone like this in the future!"

After hearing this, several adults laughed so hard that they couldn't straighten their backs.

An Wenyi looked at this, then looked at that, confusion written all over her little face.

How natural is that? The whole village says that my brother-in-law is a good match!

"Hahaha, hahaha!"

"Xiao Wenyi, uncle can't find a partner anymore. If I look for another one, mother will beat me to death."

"You have to remember that when you look for a partner in the future, you have to follow your brother-in-law's standards!"
