Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 160 Yanyan is pregnant

After leaving the eldest sister's house, the two went to the post office first, and actually received the package.

Yanyan widened her eyes, damn it, this world is so unfair to her.

The article I worked so hard on was not accepted by anyone, but something I wrote casually was actually published.

There are also sample issues and money orders inside, and you can go directly to the post office to collect the money.

"Help me see how many articles have been published?" Qin Dahe said proudly.

"You've been featured in two magazines. Brother, you're amazing." Yanyan was a little unhappy despite the compliments.

"Haha, you promised to reward me with a wave." He looked at the woman with a wicked smile, emphasizing the word "a wave".

The little girl's face turned red visibly. The brother was too bad. Such a bad idea didn't even appear in the movie.

But thinking that he couldn't serve her these few days, he could only nod reluctantly.

"Come on, brother will take you home, haha." Qin Dahe was in a good mood.

In the afternoon, Gu Qiang came to his house on a tricycle to ask for bait. He gave him all the remaining one kilogram and also gave him two sets of leader lines specifically for fishing silver carp and bighead carp.

Gu Qiang was overjoyed and wanted to give him money, but he refused and said they should go fishing together when they have time in the future.

After the Lantern Festival, Qin Dahe and his wife visited Uncle Wu and Uncle Zhang one after another.

After that, I started to get busy with welding, and there was actually a backlog of orders.

Anyone who has a large tricycle ready to be delivered will come to him for modification.

They thought it was okay to spend the money, the iron was still on the car, and they only had to pay a few hundred yuan for the labor.

Once the car is modified, there will be plenty of opportunities to make money.

Erhu and Tiedan come here to work as laborers almost every day, and they work very hard.

There are two more orders for modification of motorcycle tricycles, which will require a lot of work hours.

Fewer people close their car doors now because the weather is a little warmer and not as cold as in winter.

What made it even more difficult was that a large order came in at this time, requiring him to take people to the county to weld large parts, including aluminum welding and copper welding.

The salary was quite high, 170 a day, but he refused without hesitation.

Soldering iron is okay, but aluminum welding and copper welding are really harmful to the body. He still wants to live a carefree life in the countryside, so how can he do such a thing as exchanging his health for money?

Erhu and Tiedan are just working as odd jobs to earn a little money now. It is too early for them to do aluminum welding or copper welding. When their skills are better, he will tell them about these things and let them make their own choices.

He is just trying to make some money temporarily now and do it as a part-time job for fun. He can't imagine welding for the rest of his life. He must have had enough of it in his previous life.

If you can make money by going out fishing, take all your brothers with you. One more person means one more harvest, and it doesn't count as anyone taking advantage.

Just like last year's fishing, no matter how good his skills are, he rarely takes first place when his brothers go fishing together. It is likely that the silly kid catches the most fish.

Of course, the selection and matching of bait and nest materials, and the combination of line group, float and lead sinker are all his experience, which is more important than technology.

When we got married, Tiedan gave me some musk. I went to the big pharmacy and bought some cloves and other things. I made my own secret medicine, which is more effective for fishing.

He is the king of black pit medicine. When he is in a field that he is familiar with and knows the raw materials of various small medicines like the back of his hand, he will definitely be able to dominate the market.

Before we knew it, it was the end of March, which was also the beginning of March in the lunar calendar. At this time, the spring breeze had arrived, and the air was filled with the fragrance of grass buds and flowers.

Small flowers of various colors are blooming on both sides of the road. Standing on the balcony near the county road, it is simply a magnificent sight.

"Bah, why do these dump trucks pass by every day?" Yanyan closed the sliding door depressedly.

I finally got to see the scenery, but it seemed like something was being built somewhere, and the trucks transporting soil hadn't stopped for the past few days.

"There's no other way. Let's go to the balcony over there." Qin Dahe was also uncomfortable. It was such a nice place.

The little girl's face is getting rounder now. It's not because she's fat, but because she's pregnant. We confirmed it the day before yesterday.

The moment they knew she was pregnant, her family was so happy that her mother went out to buy an old hen to raise overnight.

He also told Qin Dahe to catch more big crucian carp, and to bring them back wild, not farmed.

Now the little girl no longer goes to work, but her leader continues to approve her leave and pays her basic salary.

I will go back to work in May and help her get a permanent job at that time.

Sometimes it's just so outrageous. A bunch of workers in the grain station want to be hired but can't get it, but Yanyan, as a college student who was admitted back to her hometown, was automatically hired when the time came. It was so cool.

Qin Dahe went to the town yesterday and bought five kilograms of cooked walnuts. Now he doesn't feel bad about spending money, because walnuts can nourish the brain.

When he reached the east balcony, he set up a stove specially used for roasting food and began to roast chestnuts, walnuts and other foods for the pregnant woman.

"Brother, I've had a good appetite recently. I used to be hungry every day." The little girl lay happily behind him.

"Stop it, I'm full of vigor and vitality now." He said depressedly.

Yanyan has become more plump after pregnancy, how can I bear it? She should lie on my body but it’s not too obvious.

"Can you give me a reward?"

"Go away, I'm afraid of a miscarriage."

After helping the little girl sit down, he poured some tea leaves and started to make tea.

Even the electric welder is not used anymore because it emits strong ultraviolet rays and unknown rays, which might affect the fetus.

He directly lent the double-protection welding machine and acetylene cutting machine to Tiedan and others, and let them handle some simple orders themselves, and he would take care of the ones they couldn't handle himself.

Erhu's family was extremely envious when they heard the news that Yanyan was pregnant, and kept praising how capable he was.

This made Erhu very depressed, and he came to him to ask for snake wine.

Even the toughest man has to stay home for two months after his wedding, so Qin Dahe can't drink this now anyway.

The two of them were basking in the sun on the balcony, eating fruits and drinking tea, looking so cool.

"Mom, why are you washing the dog?" Qin Dahe saw his mother pressing fried noodles with soap, and his forehead was full of question marks. It was really big news that rural people washed dogs.

"Wash the fried noodles clean and put them in your new house. Yanyan can play with them if she wants. I'll wash them for Feifei as well later." The mother said with a smile, and asked him to give Yanyan more roasted walnuts.

"Mom, there's no need to be so troublesome. I can just go play in the yard." Yanyan looked at her mother-in-law embarrassedly.

"Haha, then I'll wash them all. Anyway, the yard is concrete, so it's not dirty. It's okay to come down and play."

Looking at his mother working hard, Qin Dahe felt a little envious. He envied his own wife, whose status rose sharply after she got pregnant.

"Yan Yan, you eat, I'll wash it later."

"Oh, thank you, mom." Yanyan smiled like a fool.

Everyone in the family is fine. She has to wash the dog even though she is pregnant.

But Sang Biao definitely can't be played with. Brother Biao catches everything from mice to sparrows, and they will run away after being washed. They are not as well-behaved as Chao Mian and the others.

After serving his wife a meal for a while, Qin Dahe went downstairs to tidy up the shrimp cages.

Now that the weather is getting warmer, we have to catch river shrimps and sell them for money.

However, the price of river shrimp has dropped this year and can only be sold for more than 30 yuan. Sometimes, even if I sell 30 cages in one night, I can't even make 100 yuan.

The ban on the river has been lifted. Old fishing boats need to be upgraded before they can go fishing in the river, and the price of fish has risen slightly.

After all, the fishing cost is a bit high, and the boat bosses will definitely add that to the price of the fish.

He spread the shrimp cages out in the yard, rinsed them with water, and left them to dry while he prepared the bait for the cages. Fresh earthworms were quite hard to find this season, and it took him a while to find half a pound. He then mixed them with a few bucks worth of chicken skeletons and put them in thirty bags.

"Brother, can you steam some white strips for me? I want to eat them." Yanyan looked at him.

"Okay, enough." Qin Dahe wiped the sweat off his forehead.

"The black bear is so heavy, how come it grows so fast?" Yanyan lifted up the black bear, and its belly was bulging. It was obvious that her mother had fed it a lot at noon.

"This rotten dog even stole chicken feed, it's strange that he's fat."

"Hey, chicken feed is not valuable, it's okay to eat some." Yanyan smiled and stroked the black dog.

It was sneaky to begin with, and now that it's fatter, it's even more fun to play with. Yanyan likes to touch it.

The little guy whined and rubbed the hostess's legs, wanting to beg for something to eat.

"Don't eat it, I'll leave you some food for dinner."

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Knowing that it was hopeless, the puppy barked twice, lay down dejectedly at Yanyan's feet, and deliberately pressed her feet down.

Seeing that Feifei's fur had dried, Qin Dahe put Feifei back into the little girl's arms and continued to work.

Shrimp cages are often damaged. When shrimps like Onion and Whitebait enter the net, they will chew the nylon line, so they need to be repaired from time to time.

Taking the shuttle and threading the thread, he skillfully began to mend the net.

Every tiny detail was checked, as thirty shrimp cages was a big undertaking.

"Son, when are we going to go fishing for bighead carp to make some money?" I was also helping out, thinking that now that the weather was getting warmer, we should be able to go fishing, right?

"The water temperature needs to rise." He thought for a moment and asked, "Mom, can we plant more pumpkin vines this year?"

"You want to catch grass carp? Grass carp are not worth much."

“But if you keep feeding the nest, you can catch a lot of fish.”

"There's no place to grow pumpkins at home. We used to be able to grow them in the yard, but now we've built a new house and the ground has been hardened. Where's the place to grow pumpkins?" She curled her lips, showing no interest in grass carp.

The 60-jin big black carp my husband caught last year could be sold for 2000 yuan this year.

Silver carp is also expensive, six or seven yuan per pound, and any large fish can cost hundreds of yuan.

"I only want the pumpkin vines, not the pumpkins. Can I plant them along the county road?"

"Okay, I'll help you sow some seeds later."

Seeing the old lady's reluctance, Qin Dahe felt a little amused.

"There are only a limited number of silver carp and bighead carp in a river, so it's impossible to pull them out every day. But there are plenty of grass carp, and occasionally you can even catch black carp."

"I know. When do you start frying your silver carp and bighead carp bait?"

"Wait a minute, my goods will arrive tomorrow."

"what?"

"You'll know tomorrow, no need for you to fry it." Qin Dahe smiled mysteriously.

After dinner in the evening, the father and son carried thirty shrimp cages to set the nets. The child was also setting the nets during this time, but at a different time from them.

After selling goods a few times, the child can now speak much more fluently. In the morning, he often takes a bus to the town by himself to sell shrimps and miscellaneous fish.

This time we started down from the water pump station, skipped the water jump, and went down more than a hundred meters.

"Dahe, I'm going to the fields tomorrow. You go sell the shrimp."

On the main road, the father and son sat on the side of the road and smoked.

Since they got married, they have spoken less in private.

"Well, I'll drive the car. I'll beat the cotton embryos sometime."

"It's still early. We can wait until the weather is completely warm before we start. There's no rush."

My son definitely needs help with beating the cotton germs, as it is a lot of work.

Cotton seedlings must be cultivated. Use a foot-operated mold to make a soil embryo, and then plant cotton seeds one by one and wait for them to sprout.

You need to make embryos, cover with soil, water, and cover with film. When the seedlings emerge, dig holes in the field, put the embryos in, and continue covering with soil and watering.

In previous years, the couple were exhausted from doing this, and when the cotton was harvested, the workload was even greater.

Pick the cotton in bunches, even the dead fruits, peel them, and then dry them in the sun.

There's a reason why this thing is so expensive. It requires so much work, and only about 300 kilograms can be produced from one acre of land.

"Isn't welding done anymore?"

"Go slowly. I'm afraid it will be bad for the fetus. Besides, the human body can't stand it for a long time." He shook his head.

"Other people have been doing this for decades and haven't gotten sick, right?"

"That's good luck. You didn't see the unlucky ones. My family has no shortage of ways to make money."

"You bought so many machines." Qin's father frowned. The two-level welding and acetylene cost more than a thousand yuan, and there were so many welding rods.

"I don't do it for a long time, just occasionally. Besides, it's convenient to weld some things at home." He said indifferently.

"It's a waste of money. What about Erhu and the others? They work every day and come to you when they get sick."

"Haha, with their skills, it will take forever before they can do it every day."

Qin Dahe wanted to laugh when he thought of the pair of brothers in distress. They still couldn't draw the pictures well and often had to step in to save the day.

He had to provide the blueprints for modifying the big three-wheeled vehicle, otherwise the two of them would not be able to do it at all.

"Anyway, you know what's going on. If welding is really harmful to your health, it's best to tell their family."

Qin's father was a little worried. If he really got sick, it would be a disaster.

"Don't worry, I've got it covered."

Erhu and Tiedan are now almost all dealing with iron welding, so it is basically enough to provide good protection.

Besides, how can being sick be compared to making money? Those scaffolders on the construction site are all risking their lives to make money.

Although welding may cause occupational diseases, who can do a job without them? It is just a matter of degree.

"So when are you going to start fishing?" Skipping the topic of welding, Qin's father began to care about fishing.

He didn't plan to go fishing with his son as it would be too embarrassing, but he could go fishing by himself. He could use any bait his son had.

"Mom asked about it today too. Wait until the water temperature settles down."

"You can fish now. I even heard someone caught a big fish." Father Qin said unconvinced.

Qin Dahe smiled bitterly and explained, "Being able to fish and making money from fishing are two different things. The water temperature is unstable and the fish are very volatile. It's impossible to catch 100 or 200 kilograms at a time."

"Is that so?" The old man touched his chin. "Then get the bait out as soon as possible and let me know when you're ready to go fishing."
