Chapter 18 The Fisherman is Coming

"Put aside what you are doing and come over to have something to eat."

Tang Ying came over with a thermos bucket and two sets of bowls and chopsticks, and invited the two gentlemen to eat.

She took the hoe and continued digging.

Breakfast was simple, just poached eggs in sugar water. I originally wanted to cook some porridge and fry a few pancakes, but Chen Jun mentioned a lot of things and it might take a long time, so I just cooked something simple.

"Youngest, why didn't you call us?"

Within two minutes, Chen Guo and his aunt Lin Cuiju came over with hoes and shovels to help.

When Chen Jun went to catch chickens last night, Chen Guo casually asked what was going on. Knowing that many people would come to the fishing ground today, even though Chen Jun didn't say anything, he remembered to come and help.

Just as I got up at six o'clock, I found that the whole family was busy in the fish pond. I turned around and called my wife to come and help.

"Who knew these things would arrive so early? If I had known, I would have called you earlier."

Chen Jun, who was squatting to eat, stood up and felt in his pocket to take out a cigarette, but found that he had left in a hurry and didn't bring it with him.

"Don't take it out. Let's get back to work. The sooner we can install these things, the better. Then the fishermen won't get too sunburned."

Chen Guo waved his hands, spat twice on his hands, rubbed his hands, picked up the hoe and started digging.

"Brother and sister-in-law, have you eaten?" Chen Jun asked.

"Yes, I ate it. It was fried eggs. Hurry and eat it."

Although Chen Guoju had a limp, he was very skillful at work. He dug very deep with just two or three hoes. The old lady held the parasol, opened it, and stuck the umbrella handle inside.

The old lady held the umbrella handle while the old man filled the soil. When the umbrella was almost fixed, the old lady took over the rest of the work. After filling the soil, she used a shovel to hit the surrounding soil hard to reinforce it thoroughly.

Uncle walked towards the next fishing spot.

"Mom, let's do it."

After drinking all the sugar water, the two gentlemen prepared to continue.

"Your dad and I will do it, you go get the rest."

Tang Ying didn't give in. There were a lot of things piled on the ground and she didn't know what to do. She and Chen Jun could just install the parasols, and with the help of her eldest brother and sister-in-law, they had enough manpower.

"also."

After Chen Yuan nodded, he sorted out the other things.

"Oh, the whole family is here, this is quite a big scene."

Another villager's voice was heard, and Liu Fang, the director of the Propaganda Center and the most powerful loudspeaker in the village, came over carrying a laundry bucket.

"No matter how big the scene is, it's not as good as you. When your big mouth opens and closes, the whole village can hear it. That's a big scene." Tang Ying was a little gloomy.

All the gossip in the village comes from Liu Fang's foul mouth.

What's the point of saying that running a fishing ground is not profitable and no one spends money on fishing? Only a fool would open such a thing.

Going to university and then retreating back to the village is incompetent behavior.

He also spread rumors that he had committed a crime in the city and had to retreat back to the countryside in disgrace.

The most outrageous thing is that they even asked us to be careful about their family's proposal of a daughter-in-law. Now many people in the village are avoiding them, for fear that someone would come to propose marriage.

A few words of insult and curse were considered mild. It would have been strange if they hadn't started quarreling and scolding two days ago.

Liu Fang was a thick-skinned person. The two sarcastic words did not hurt her at all. She did not feel uncomfortable at all, but continued to smile.

"Chen Jun, are you going to sell your vegetables? Your family has started a fishing ground. This thing must be very profitable."

Chen Jun definitely couldn't win the argument with Liu Fang.

Unfortunately, Liu Fang wanted to find Chen Jun as a breakthrough, but Tang Ying refused.

"Didn't you see yesterday that someone wanted to spend 5,000 yuan to go fishing? That amount of money would only be enough for them to fish for half a month."

Tang Ying dug a hole with his hoe. It didn't look like he was burying a parasol, but more like he was burying a person. Liu Fang's mouth twitched when she saw it.

"By the way, your husband is still doing construction work in the city. He must be making a lot of money."

Tang Ying changed the subject, and Liu Fang's mouth twitched even more violently.

Although civil engineering work is hard and tiring, it does make money. Chen Jun and Chen Guo used to do this business and had good returns every year.

But everyone in the village knows that Chen Dequan from Liu Fang's family is afraid of hard work and fatigue. At the beginning, the two brothers Chen Jun taught him the bricklaying skills for free, but he refused to learn and just did some odd jobs to help.

Can earn some money.

"Who has nothing better to do than fishing every day? You don't work and don't make money. You just fish for fun. This thing has no tomorrow..."

Liu Fang was still very good at talking, but before she could finish, Qin Fen's loud voice came. "I knew you must be at the fish pond. Hey brother, you've already put up the parasols. You're really fast. If you keep going this way, you'll have to build a hotel and a club tomorrow."

What is a slap in the face.

This is called a slap in the face.

The previous second, I thought that no one would come to the Yin-Yang Fishing Ground, and that making such a big fuss would be a waste of money, but the next second, people came, and there were four of them.

Tang Ying looked at Liu Fang proudly. The latter had an unhappy expression for the first time. When she saw Tang Ying was about to speak, she quickly turned around and walked towards Datang.

He muttered to himself: What are you so proud of? There are only four of us.

Chen Yuan found it funny, gave his old mother a thumbs up, and then walked towards Qin Fen and the others.

"Why are you here so late?"

It's not even seven o'clock yet, and they've arrived much earlier than yesterday, but Chen Yuan's words sounded like he was blaming them for coming late, and he didn't make them feel embarrassed for coming early.

I didn't have any cigarettes in my pocket, but luckily my uncle had some in his pocket, so I borrowed them and walked over to him to have a look.

"Thanks, young man."

Except for Grandpa Qin who doesn't smoke, the other two elderly people who are about the same age as Grandpa Qin took it with a smile.

"The parasols on this side of the road are almost all installed. Mr. Qin, just watch and fish."

Chen Yuan raised his hand and pointed at the road.

"Don't worry, we'll help too."

Grandpa Qin put down his fishing rod and called on his two old friends for help with a smile.

"Mr. Qin, this is unacceptable. You are customers, how can I let you do the work?"

Chen Yuan waved his hands quickly.

"What do you mean by customer or not? It's really awkward for you to say that, Xiao Chen."

Mr. Qin pretended to be dissatisfied.

"That's it, young man, just tell me what we can do."

"If you're so polite, we'd be sorry to bother you."

The two elderly people were very enthusiastic. They put down their fishing equipment and walked towards the piled goods, and started working without saying a word.

The fishing ground is open from nine o'clock, but they arrived before seven o'clock. Xiao Chen didn't say anything and just told them to start fishing.

Xiao Chen was upset. How could they just sit there and do nothing?

What's more, I need to stay overnight.

"Don't bother me. I think there will be a lot of people here today. Let's fix it quickly. Don't let those fishermen see the messy fishing grounds. It's easy to lose points."

Qin Fen stopped Chen Yuan who was trying to dissuade him.

"Okay, put the parasol next to the fishing spot first, so you don't have to go back and forth to get it."

Chen Yuan didn't act pretentiously anymore. More people meant more hands. The important thing was to finish the job quickly. Otherwise, those fishermen would come and would definitely feel uncomfortable seeing the messy fishing grounds.

"Ghost, what do you mean?"

Qin Fen rolled up his sleeves and started to work, but when he saw the pile of life jackets and lifebuoys, he was stunned on the spot.

"I just fell into the water, and this thing is ready?"

"You can't be careless about the safety of the fishing grounds, and the life jackets I bought are definitely a pleasant surprise, you'll know later."

He hadn't had time to check the parasol, but Chen Yuan had already tried the life jacket. It was indeed cold when he put it on, and he didn't know why.

"Xiao Chen is right. Safety should be put first in everything we do."

Mr. Qin agreed with Chen Yuan's approach.

After placing the parasols, there are also life jackets and lifebuoys, which will be hung directly on the parasols after they are put up. There are also sixty sets of fish guards and scoop nets.

Don’t keep the mosquito coil for too long, as it will become unusable if it gets wet.

Finally, there are two trash cans.

"Buzz! Buzz!"

At about eight o'clock, Chen Yuan's cell phone suddenly rang. He knew without even looking that the fishermen were about to show up.
