Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 106: Investing in a Flower-Bearing Factory

After dinner, the two slightly tipsy men found a recliner and sat at the gate to drink tea.

People passing by were a little surprised when they saw this. The girl hasn't even gotten married yet, but her son-in-law has already started coming to her house for dinner?

The old carpenter didn't care if others teased him. He was very satisfied with Qin Dahe and would just say whatever they wanted.

"Grandpa, are you planning to find someone to learn your carpentry skills?"

"What? Are you interested in being a carpenter?" The old carpenter's eyes lit up. It was good that Qin Dahe was willing to be a carpenter. He would pass on all his skills.

"I can make money from what I know, so I won't do this anymore. I'm asking this for the silly kid."

"Silly kid?" The old carpenter frowned, and he was a little unhappy to let outsiders know.

"The kid's grandmother entrusted him to my family for care. It would be best if you could help him find a skill. If it's not convenient for you, I can take him back and teach him how to weld." He said indifferently.

I know a lot of things, but carpentry is a craft that I am naturally suited to as a kid, so it would be best if I could learn it.

"Okay, let him work for me as a handyman for the next few days, but it's only ten yuan a day." He also got paid for working for Qin Dahe's family, a friendly price of 80 yuan a day.

Normally, if you go out to do this kind of work, you will need to pay at least 120. For the same wooden furniture, he just makes it look comfortable.

Qin Dahe smiled in his heart. Now the kid is also doing odd jobs, and he doesn't make any money.

"Forget about the wages now. If he takes the money back, he will definitely get beaten by grandma."

They are close brothers, and it would be embarrassing for him to take a dime for helping with the work. How could grandma let him take any money?

The old carpenter also knew that grandma might not be able to hold on this year, and since his son-in-law's position in his heart had risen today, he reluctantly agreed.

His craftsmanship is what you can see right before your eyes, but it takes many years to hone these visible skills to perfection.

As long as the kid can always treat his son-in-law as his own brother, he doesn't mind teaching him everything. After all, he can't really take his skills with him into the coffin.

"By the way, when will your boat be towed back? And those two crossbows?"

"I'll take a crossbow first and take it back when I'm done. As for the boat, I'll see when my dad is free." The two families are almost one, so it's okay to leave it here.

I put one crossbow on the car for self-defense, and I will take the remaining one in winter, and let my grandfather maintain it.

"Let's go, grandpa." As he said that, he winked at Yanyan.

Yanyan pretended not to see it. It was already dark at this time, and if she went to send him off herself, she would definitely be taken advantage of.

"Yan Yan, you and your brother go for a walk." The old carpenter said casually and moved the recliner back. It was still a bit cold at this time of night. If he hadn't been talking to his son-in-law today, he would not have come out.

The little beauty was speechless. Her father had been drugged today. Wasn't he afraid that something might happen to him if he went out?
"Yan'er, do you miss your brother?" On a small path outside leading to the fields, the two of them huddled together and whispered.

"No."

"Hey, no, I'm still holding your hand."

"Bad guy." Yanyan blushed. It felt good to be held by the hand. She was reluctant to let go.

"You heard what I said today. Do you have any objection to bringing grandpa and the others to live with you when you are old?" he said seriously.

Many times men don’t care about this, but women instead think about having a small family and living alone.

"Thank you, brother." She didn't say anything, but she was definitely willing in her heart.

As an only daughter, her father once thought of finding a live-in son-in-law, but he was afraid that she would not be happy in marriage, so he gave up the idea.

Today's society is not an era that values money. In rural areas, if a man can marry into a family, he must have problems in his family. Otherwise, no matter how poor he is, he will rarely marry into the family.

People with problems in this kind of family generally have somewhat independent personalities, and it is still unknown what they will do after getting married.

"Give me more babies in the future." He stretched out his hands and hugged the person in his arms. There was no resistance, hey!

"It's family planning. Can't you just have one child?"

"Let's just have a daughter first. There's no rush. Let's take our time." This is the policy here. If you have a daughter once, you can have another one.

Today he didn't act like a hooligan, he just hugged the girl and said some sweet words.

The temperature difference in late autumn is large, and it is estimated to be around eight or nine degrees at this moment. Yanyan in my arms only feels that this embrace is very warm and safe.

"Brother, when will the house be finished?"

"It's still early. Even though the brickwork is done, we still have to wait for Grandpa to finish the main structure before we can put up the beams. Then we have to apply putty powder inside."

In order to save money, many people don't use cement and putty at home and just use bare red bricks. He would definitely not want that because it looks so ugly.

"When the time comes, take Chao Mian and Fei Fei over. You have to take good care of them."

"Well, fried noodles are fun, and so is Sangbiao." She smiled foolishly and buried her head in her brother's arms.

"The black bear will be left to my mom and her family. But the two yards are connected, so they will probably be fed together." He laughed when he thought of this. It seemed that the cat and dog didn't need to move.

"There's a big yard in the middle. Let's build a nest for the four of them in the yard."

"Yeah, black bears are fun too."

"Sang Biao is very fierce, be careful next time."

When Yanyan heard Sangbiao's name, she burst out laughing. It was the first time she heard a cat named Sangbiao.

"When we have a baby, we will let fried noodles grow up with the baby."

The two leaned against each other and kissed unconsciously.

"Damn, it's so cold."

The next morning, he kept sniffling.

It was fun to be with the girl. Yanyan let him do whatever he wanted last night, but she couldn't stand the wind.

I woke up this morning with an itchy throat and a runny nose.

The silly kid was building a attic with the old carpenter in the new house. Although he had not yet received the apprenticeship gift, he could learn first because Qin Dahe was the middleman.

Just wait for grandma to prepare it, which is nothing more than a carp, two pieces of meat, cigarettes, alcohol and other things.

Erhu and the other two were busy working on the dry wood with the lines drawn on it. They had to cut it roughly into the shape required by grandpa, and then he would process it carefully.

"You're really great! Even your father-in-law listens to you." The two of them were quite envious of their child's opportunity. It was not easy to learn a skill in the countryside.

"Of course I am. Hey, don't worry, just help me finish the job."

The two of them curled their lips and knew that they had to work even if they were not honest.

"Erhu, aren't you going to buy a house when you get married?" Logically, Erhu's family should also start preparations.

"No, my dad said to just build a building, but I don't have the money right now."

"That doesn't make sense. Your family hasn't had any major expenses in the past two years." Qin Dahe asked doubtfully. Erhu's family are all strong laborers, and they save money very quickly.

"There's a cotton mill going on in Xinba, and my dad's planning to invest in it."

"Awesome, your family is rich." Tiedan and Qin Dahe gave a thumbs up.

"This is a small factory, certainly not comparable to the big factory in Cangtou. It only has two production workshops." Erhu talked about the factory.

The factory is led by the village committee in Xinba, and then each village raised money to start its establishment. It is still in preparation.

"How much is one share?" "Thirty thousand yuan. My family took three shares, and the Xinba Brigade Headquarters also took quite a bit."

"Ninety thousand! Tsk tsk! You'll be a rich second generation in the future."

"Get lost, your family is the richest, and they spent tens of thousands of dollars to send you to college."

Qin Dahe's face darkened. Ce, it's really unfair to spend these tens of thousands of dollars.

"Why don't Tiedan's family also invest in some shares? The cotton mill is making money right now." Qin Dahe turned around and began to persuade Tiedan.

In recent years, cotton mills can make money as long as they can receive cotton. The profit margin is thin, but the cost of building the factory is lower.

The land is basically free, and the factory is just a metal house. Apart from the machines, other things don’t cost much.

"Forget about my family. They are reluctant to touch the money at home. They are just waiting for me to get married." Tiedan shook his head.

His family's money is typical hard-earned money. The whole family has to save and live frugally to have a surplus of tens of thousands of yuan. How can they invest it just like that?

My grandparents at home are not in good health, and if anything happens, we will have to spend a lot of money on medical treatment.

Qin Dahe thought about it and realized that as more and more cotton mills appeared, anyone could collect cotton. As long as they brought the cotton to the mill, people would immediately add a few cents to their bills and collect it.

But this situation will have to wait at least five or six years. If Erhu's family can build a factory, I might be able to benefit from it and take Erhu with me to collect it.

They have a good relationship as brothers, and Erhu knows a lot of things, so I guess his parents won't mind these things.

During lunch, Qin Dahe talked about the cotton mill, but unexpectedly the old carpenter became interested.

"When did they prepare it over there?" he asked in surprise. No one told him.

"The day before yesterday, my second uncle, who is the accountant in Xinba, was the first one to notify my family." Erhu said honestly.

"I'll go ask when I have time. 30,000 per share. I'll buy some shares then."

Qin Dahe's words last night made him very happy, and he decided to make more money now so that he could leave more assets for his grandson in the future.

As for giving the money directly to Qin Dahe, it is not appropriate, so just invest it yourself.

"Dahe, how is it?" He looked at his son-in-law.

"Grandpa, if you are interested, just buy three or four shares. It's no problem to just take dry shares." Qin Dahe also supports this kind of investment. It is a sure profit in the next few years.

However, you can only get a small amount of dry shares. If you don’t participate in management, it will be easy for money to be embezzled if you have too many shares.

"Okay, I'll call and ask later." He has a lot of connections, and if he puts in some real money, he will definitely be able to buy shares.

Qin Dahe was happy. If the old carpenter took the shares, he and his father could both harvest cotton.

It just so happens that Xinba is connected to the outer river, and you can use large wooden boats to collect cotton, which can carry much more than a tricycle.

The three master craftsmen looked at the carpenter who was chatting and laughing at the table with envy. Carpenters can make money nowadays. They can take out 30,000 or 40,000 yuan without blinking an eye.

Their jobs as bricklayers are unstable, and they cannot support their entire family without farming.

After we finish the small utility room next door today, they will leave and then come back for two days to work when it’s time to putty.

After dinner, everyone took a break and then went out to work.

Qin Dahe was sick, and his condition was quite serious. He coughed so much that his throat was so sore that he couldn't even speak. He took anti-inflammatory drugs but his condition didn't improve.

My mother went to town to get some Chinese medicine and boiled it with rock sugar for him to drink, which helped him feel better.

"You are responsible for lighting the fire these days, don't do anything else." In the afternoon, the mother looked at her son with heartache.

My son has been behaving very well since he came home and has made quite a bit of money. Now that he's sick, it's a good time for him to take a break.

"Yeah." Qin Dahe responded softly, his voice hoarse as if it had been polished by rough sand.

After his mother left, he sighed and decided that next time he would never go to the girl in the middle of the night to expose her to the cold.

Several brothers knew that he was sick, so they came over to talk to him this morning.

It’s not that he can’t get out of bed now, but he feels dizzy and feels dizzy after going out for a while. He only feels better when he is burning a fire.

The bright fire shining on my face made me feel much more relaxed.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, he was listening to music on the radio when a figure walked in.

He opened his eyes in a daze and found that it was Yanyan. He immediately became more alert.

"Yan'er, your husband is sick, why did you come now?"

"Brother, you are really..." Yanyan glared at him unhappily, "If your voice is hoarse, just talk less."

When she heard that rough voice, she immediately felt distressed.

But when he saw the cigarette butt in the plastic bottle on the bedside table, his eyebrows frowned.

"You're so sick, and you're still smoking. You should smoke less until you recover."

She wanted to do something, but when she saw the house was clean, she knew her mother-in-law had already cleaned it.

"Come, sit down." Qin Dahe's hoarse voice still looked quite pitiful, and she couldn't help but sit over.

Before she could sit down, she was pulled into his arms. Qin Dahe used all his strength to pull the little girl to lie down beside him.

"No, it belongs to someone else." Yanyan blushed, and the brother's hand reached for the clothes again.

"Then go lock the door, quickly."

Yanyan thought about it and decided to do as she was told.

Brother looks so pitiful. It would be so sad if she passed away like this. But she definitely couldn't let Brother stay in bed again. I don't know how he still has the strength to do this when he is sick.

"Come sit here."

"No, brother, you always bully me."

"Then why did you lock the door?"

Yanyan: “.”

This is because we are afraid that they will be dragged away again if we are not careful, so it is better to be prepared.

Qin Dahe turned off the radio and struggled to get up. He felt uncomfortable all over and felt exhausted when he moved.

"Pour me a glass of water, sit down and talk. I promise I won't do anything rash, okay?"

Yanyan poured him some water upon hearing that, but she still sat on the stool outside the bed.

"What about the trust between people?" He looked at the little beauty with tears in his eyes, feeling so greedy.

This pretty girl, coupled with her profound teachings, made him want to rub her whenever he saw her, and he always let her go reluctantly.

"Brother, you are so mean. I'd better sit far away." Looking at her brother sipping the boiled water gently, she felt sad again. Her brother's throat must be very uncomfortable now.

"Stop talking. I'll sit with you for a while and then leave."

"Hmm." My throat really feels uncomfortable now. I can feel the vibration in my throat with every word I say.
