Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 101 Family Banquet
Whenever he met acquaintances on the road, he would say hello and be leisurely. When his second uncle saw him, he thought that this nephew was very interesting.

"Ah Bao, aren't you cold in the rain?"

"It's okay, I'm going to Erhu's house to play." Qin Dahe took out cigarettes and started to pass them out.

But the taste of this Hongmei is not very good now. I am about to get married, and it is a bit inappropriate to smoke the cigarettes that this old man smokes. I'd better buy Shengtang tonight.

"How was the conversation? I saw you taking the girl out to play this morning."

"My mother will come to call you to her house for dinner soon. We need to talk about this today." He said proudly.

Generally speaking, when discussing such matters, at least two relatives of the same generation would be present to show seriousness, and his second uncle would definitely be included.

"Not bad, you can do it, kid." My second uncle said with a smile, the cigarette flickering in his mouth, and he was obviously in a good mood.

"Well, I went to play."

"Okay, haha."

When we arrived at Erhu's house, we found two people fishing on the water diving board at the door.

"It's so cold, and you're still fishing?"

After Qin Dahe finished speaking, they both turned around at the same time.

"I couldn't sleep after I got the bait and line last night. Today, since you left, we have been fishing all the time." Tiedan sniffed his nose. It was so cold in this weather.

"Ce, you are so dedicated." He walked down and watched how the two of them harvested on the bright water surface.

"Are they all small crucian carp?" He looked at the bucket and saw that there were no big crucian carp in the bucket after the two of them had been picking up hair all morning.

"It's difficult to do it in other places, they are all muddy. We can only have fun here, but your bait is really useful." Erhu said excitedly.

He is just wearing a coat now, and his face looks normal. It seems that he is different because he grew up eating Northeastern old ginseng. He is in great health.

"Why don't we go dig a grass cave and play when it's sunny? We can't bear this pain."

"Anyway, we just want to go fishing. When will you take us to catch big fish?"

"At least we have to wait until next spring. The weather is abnormal this year and we can't fish."

The two were immediately disappointed when they heard that they couldn't catch big fish.

"Where's Brother Niu? My two dogs are looking for him to play." He looked around but didn't see the big blue dog.

"I went to Xu Village this morning and had a fight. I guess my father (grandfather) is just a brother."

Qin Dahe was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Even Brother Niu suffered a loss. It seemed that the dogs in Xu Village were very fierce. Erhu's father lived at the end of the village, next to Zhang Dzhu's house, and there were many dogs there as well.

"When my two kids grow up, they will be great helpers. Hey, let me have the fishing rod." He snatched the fishing rod from Erhu.

After looking at the surrounding environment, I grabbed a bait ball and went to a big rock next to the purslane, squatting on it to fish.

Although it was uncomfortable, he only cared about it for a while.

The water plants used for washing clothes here are usually cleaned regularly, and the water surface around them is bare, so you can only play with small fish.

I put the bait down along the water plants and soon the fish took a bite. It seems that fishing is also good in abnormal weather.

He paused for two seconds, hit it once, and it was empty.

He hit three more times, but still nothing.

"Oh my god, what's causing this trouble?" He tried a few times but failed because he couldn't fish near the water plants.

"I don't know either. It's either river shrimp or ground tigers. I put out two shrimp cages this morning to see if I can catch some." The two men laughed secretly.

They had tried there in the morning but had no luck catching any fish, so they came back to Shuitiao to catch small fish.

"I'll find a way to get some tricks and kill them one by one." Qin Dahe said hatefully.

I didn’t expect that after my rebirth, my first failure in wild fishing would be here. I didn’t even catch any hair and was even amused.

"Sleeve hook?"

"It's a hook as thin as a hairline, very small, and can be used to catch river shrimp."

I'm too lazy to waste time with these two. Since I can't find Brother Niu, I might as well go back and lie down. But it's so boring.

The countryside is not as good as I imagined. When it rains, I can only lie at home. Alas!

It should be better after you get married. In the early stage, you can beat your wife until she cries, and in the later stage, you can beat your children.

Beating children on rainy days is not without reason.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Qin Dahe, who had just woken up, quickly washed his face to wake up.

Then he shaved his beard and combed his hair. It’s great to be young and handsome.

It was only 4:30 when the car arrived at the grain station. Qin Dahe, who had nothing to do, strolled to the mail room.

"Uncle, you guys are off work at five o'clock, right?" Qin Dahe handed Hongmei over in a familiar manner.

"Yeah, young man, are you here to pick someone up?"

"I'm here to pick up my boyfriend. I want to warm up here, hey."

"come in."

The old man was very enthusiastic and put him directly into the mail room.

"Yan Yan has good taste and picked a handsome young man." The gatekeeper praised him, after all, he had accepted the cigarettes from him.

Yanyan is the only young person in the entire grain station, so she must have gotten it. Otherwise, could it be those old women?
"My vision is not bad. I picked out Yanyan."

Qin Dahe asked about some work at the grain station and felt it was really easy.

The entire grain station is busy in autumn and winter. In spring, it is basically on vacation and everyone takes turns on duty.

There are more holidays during the weekdays, so such a unit is definitely a great tool for retirement.

Half an hour later, more than a dozen people began to rush out after get off work, and Qin Dahe saw the little beauty in the crowd at a glance.

"Here." He waved and called out.

Seeing this, Yanyan ran over quickly and gave him a reproachful look.

"Why are you still in there?"

"The uncle is very enthusiastic, you have to come, haha." He made a joke, and the uncle beside him was laughing.

"Uncle Chen, this is Qin Dahe from our village." Yanyan introduced him blushingly, then quickly pulled him away, not even daring to chat with the colleagues behind her.

After getting in the car, he started urging him to start the diesel engine quickly.

"What are you afraid of? Your dad is coming to my house for dinner tonight. It's so nice to be open and honest."

"you"

Yanyan gritted her teeth. She didn't expect this bastard to be so quick. She was going to be scolded after just a day's work?

"It's only a matter of time. Come down and introduce yourself to everyone, dear." He pulled the person out of the car. His thick-skinnedness alone had defeated countless young men.

Seeing that the guy had already gotten out of the car to greet his colleagues, she had no choice but to follow him down.

"I'm her boyfriend. My family introduced us to each other, auntie." Qin Dahe chatted with everyone shamelessly.

But I didn’t give out any cigarettes. Today’s cigarettes are too low-quality. I have to bring some Double Happiness cigarettes next time I come to the grain station.

"I usually drive around the village to harvest corn and other things. Some time ago, I caught a lot of silver carp and bighead carp at the sluice nearby." Faced with questions from a group of elderly people, he was not at all flustered.

"I know this. A father and son caught more than a thousand kilograms of silver carp and bighead carp at the sluice gate some time ago and made a lot of money." An old man said enviously.

The way his colleagues looked at him suddenly changed. Being able to make money was the bottom line.

They didn't look down on it. Working at the grain station was leisurely, but it wasn't particularly good. Since so few people grew grain here, they still had to make money to achieve a comfortable life. "Earn a little money to support the family. Now we're going." With a wave of his hand, he pulled the bewildered little girl into the car.

On the way back, Qin Dahe still had a smile on his face.

"Yan Yan, how is your brother doing?"

"Very good, your skin is thick enough to block bullets." Yanyan said unhappily, but there was a faint joy in her heart.

She didn't know why, but she was happy, and she felt even happier when she touched the pull ring in her pocket.

I was definitely embarrassed to wear it, it was so embarrassing, but I really liked it in my heart.

"Keep it up. I'll give you some soft pork belly tonight. It's delicious."

On the way, he first bought a pack of Double Happiness cigarettes at Limin Supermarket, as he might need to distribute them later, so he opened a pack and put it in his pocket for future use.

When we got home, the guests were already there.

My second uncle and Qin Laosan, who contracted the fish pond, were both here. My third uncle was Qin Dahe's distant cousin and lived nearby, so he had to be invited over.

The old carpenter was sitting at the table receiving everyone's compliments, saying that he had raised a good girl.

"Grandpa." Qin Dahe greeted his father-in-law first, and then greeted his third uncle and second uncle.

Yanyan was still a little girl at that time and had never seen such a scene before. She could only nod foolishly along with him, making everyone laugh.

The husband follows the wife, just like a young daughter-in-law coming home.

Because the table was too crowded with six people, Qin's mother and Yanyan's mother did not sit at the table, leaving the seat for Qin Dahe.

There is no custom here that women cannot sit at the table, but with so many dishes to be cooked and served, it is definitely women who are busy.

The remaining one or two women were too embarrassed to sit there. As time went on, women in this situation would eat in the back. Yanyan also went to the back, as she was too embarrassed to sit there.

Qin Dahe took out the Daqu from his home and poured it for everyone, and also took out the Shuangxi and distributed it around.

"This kid Dahe is really capable now." The Third Master said with emotion.

Whether speaking or doing things, Qin Dahe's performance today was not bad, and was much better than those young men who were getting married for the first time.

"Third Master, you're too polite. Enjoy a cigarette." Qin Dahe took out his lighter and lit cigarettes one by one, but only the old carpenter was pleased with it.

After ordering a round of dishes, he didn't order anything himself, but just sat there and chatted.

"Boss, can you start collecting grain after you finish building this wooden boat?" The Third Master looked at Qin's father curiously and asked.

"Yes, a lot of people want corn and soybeans. I collect them and store them at home. I'll deliver them when people call." Qin's father said with a smile, "This way was paved by Dahe. He went all over the county asking for them by himself."

His tone was very proud, his son was indeed outstanding.

"That's good. It's enough for my son to have half of the river." The third master said with a sigh.

"They are all just children, everything will be fine in the future." This is just a polite remark, but the child of the Third Master is one year older than Qin Dahe, and no one knows what he is doing in Chaohu.

"Bullshit, I sent him another 10,000 yuan this year. He can't even support himself if he stays out there. What am I going to do in the future?" The Third Master's face was full of worry.

When the old carpenter heard this, he realized how clear his insistence was. Daha is such a good child. He has watched him grow up since he was a child.

"It's not much, third brother. When Dahe was in school, I spent 30,000 to 40,000 yuan every year. I sold all the little things my mother left for me." Although he said so, Qin's father was satisfied with the tuition fee of 100,000 yuan. His son has become a successful person.

Judging from his performance today, he would be willing to spend another ten thousand.

"If I had known that, I would have done the same as you and let him read more books."

Qin Dahe wanted to laugh when he heard this. His adopted brother was a student at Fenghuangqiao Middle School at that time. He had fought six times in one semester and was caught by the teacher. What was the point of studying there?

Although he also fought when he was in junior high school, he could fight and run.

Generally speaking, in this situation, if you run away, the teacher can't do anything to you.

The food has also arrived, a braised big fish head. The silver carp head is very prestigious and it costs at least twelve yuan per pound when sold alone.

A plate of braised pork, a plate of minced meat and eggplant, as well as braised dishes such as pig ears and braised duck.

After waiting for a few old guys to drink, Qin Dahe silently ate two pieces of braised pork, which was delicious.

Then the toasts started. The first glass was definitely given to the father-in-law, and then they went in circles.

He didn't drink much after playing a round. It would be embarrassing if he drank too much with so many elders around.

At this point, the atmosphere at the table was lively and it was natural to talk about marriage.

"I'll take care of the furniture. We only have one daughter." The old carpenter said with a smile. Seeing Daha's attitude, it would definitely be an honor for him to be his son-in-law.

"Thank you for your trouble, brother, but the rest are from my family. Da He also made a lot of money when he came back this year."

"That's right, Dahe is capable." The main purpose of my second uncle's visit today was to praise Qin Dahe, the more the better.

"Brother-in-law, when will the construction of the house begin?"

"We'll start working as soon as the weather clears up. Xiao Erzi's excavator can be here at any time." Xiao Erzi is the owner of Weimin Supermarket, two years younger than Qin's father.

An excavator is faster than humans. A dozen people working in a day cannot match the work of an excavator working in an hour. It can also help compact the ground.

"That's good. Once Dahe gets married, you'll have an easy time."

"It's not easy at all. After getting married, we still have to have children. We don't have to take care of them."

"Haha."

"You have to start preparing for your grandson's inheritance, but if your two families become one, Dahe's children will be blessed."

The old carpenter has made a lot of money over the years. Although he spent a lot on supporting a college student, he must have some left, and he can still do carpentry work for many more years.

By then, two families with six working people will raise one child, and when the child grows up, it will be easy for him to buy a house in a big city.

The atmosphere at the table was good, with laughter coming from time to time.

Later, after finishing her meal, Yanyan curled up on a small stool and played with Sang Biao. The cat that usually scratched Qin Dahe stayed docilely in Yanyan's arms. The little girl blushed as she listened to her mother and Qin's mother chatting. The two of them would glance at her from time to time, wishing they could go home immediately.

The noise in the main room was loud, and she could hear it clearly. When they talked about her grandson, her face turned red.

After a while, Qin Dahe walked in.

"Aunt, Mom, I'm taking Yanyan out for a walk. I'll send her home later." Qin Dahe walked in with a drunken face.

Yanyan was so touched when she heard this. She felt like she was her savior and didn't want to stay there for a moment.

"Go ahead, walk on the gravel road, don't fall into the mud." The old mother replied casually.

They are the protagonists today, but it doesn’t matter. They can go anywhere after eating.

After walking out of the door, Qin Dahe smiled.

"Sister, shouldn't you thank me for freeing you from the sea of suffering?"

How could a soul in his forties not know what the little girl was thinking, and come here specially to rescue her?

"Ah."

Yanyan's face turned red because her hand was held and she was led to the fish pond behind.

It was dark now and no one could see her, so she stopped struggling. It was so cold, and a big hand would be so warm.

"Our house will be here from now on. It might be a bit noisy on the county road."

"Yeah." She looked a little panicked, but she was very satisfied with her brother, and added softly, "It's okay."

Qin Dahe hugged the little girl in his arms and felt her carefully. It was great to be young. Hey, all the weapons of Zhao Zilong of Changshan appeared.
