Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 18 Big Big Big Brother
He worked until two in the morning before going to bed.

Qin's father had to get up in two hours. He had arranged for a tractor to go into the city and leave before dawn. He couldn't have a stomachache within two hours.

He made a lot of lead, sub-lines, main lines, etc. in the evening, and also made a foam seven-star float. If there is no one to guide him tomorrow, he will try fishing blindly.

"Abao, get up, Erhu and the others are here to see you."

He was half asleep and vaguely heard someone calling Erhu. He thought he was dreaming.

He was suddenly awakened when someone came in.

"You can sleep well with something in your mouth, and you didn't even come to play with us when you came back. I heard you caught a lot of big fish yesterday, and everyone saw them this morning."

A big man with a face full of flesh, as big as his brother-in-law, appeared at the door.

"Fuck, I've only been back for three days and I'm already busy non-stop. Wait for me to get dressed first. Is Tiedan here yet?"

He hurriedly began to put on his clothes. He slept in just a pair of shorts at night, so he was a little out of control, but people in the countryside don't care about that.

"Big big big big big brother, I..."

"Oh, why is the silly kid here too?" He was surprised.

Hanwaer's home is at the entrance of the village below Liming Supermarket, very close to him.

In fact, Hanwa is not stupid, he just stutters when he speaks and is honest in his actions, so he has been called Hanwa since he was a child.

When they were young, the four of them often went to the lake to collect bird eggs and catch hedgehogs, and sometimes they even caught wild ducks. They all got tanned black.

"He was the one who came to find us and said he wanted to play with you." Erhu said with a smile.

A little bald head also appeared at the back, Tiedan. He had his head shaved since he was a child and was bald even when he got married, so he was called Tiedan.

Qin Dahe greeted the three of them and went to wash up. My mother also poured water for the three of them early and brought some cakes and candies.

It’s different from before when they came to visit. Now that my son can earn money, these little friends are formal guests and cannot be neglected.

"Hey, auntie is so polite."

The three of them sat down and ate cakes with smiles on their faces. It was also the first time they enjoyed the feeling of being guests at the Qin family.

"Let's have lunch at home. It just so happens that A-Bao caught a big alligator yesterday, so I'll grill it for you."

"No, auntie, we all have to go back to eat at noon. It's not nice to come here to eat without saying hello." Tiedan said honestly.

"Okay, I'll ask him to arrange a table later." Qin's mother said generously.

It would take the son's request to keep the talent. I guess even young people would feel embarrassed to hear her say that.

These are all good kids. Except for being a little naughty, they are all kind-hearted. Especially the silly kid, who has been dependent on the old grandmother for so many years. He is so pitiful. When he was a child, she often gave him some food.

"You guys are here, so come with me to the brigade to sign the contract for the pond. We'll have some fun pumping out the pond later."

"Contracted fish pond? The small wild pond at the back?" The three looked at him in surprise.

"Yeah, I have to do some side business when I go back home. This small fish pond can be used to raise crucian carp."

"Okay, listen. Listen to Big Brother."

"Haha, let's go, Mom, cook some food for lunch and we'll eat at home."

"Okay." Mother Qin agreed readily.

Since I couldn't invite them myself, my son would definitely give them face if he asked me. I saw that all three of them agreed, so I just had to go home and notify them.

When the other three heard that they were going to pump water to catch fish soon, they were so excited that they almost jumped out.

He rushed to the brigade headquarters, signed the contract, and the pond was contracted to him.

Because it was the village pond, the lease term was ten years, with the rent fluctuating depending on the situation, unlike Qin Laosan's large lake, which was only leased for five years. Because that lake was shared by their village and Xu Village, they also had to take responsibility for protecting the crops, and during droughts, everyone had to accept the consequences if the pond was drained.

After paying the money and getting the contract, several people returned to his house and started lifting the diesel engine.

When he and the old man went out to pump water, the diesel engine connected to the generator was easily carried by the four young men.

Then we went to the fish farm by the big lake, and we had to borrow a water pump to pump water.

"Third Master, can you lend me the water pump? I'll go drain the pond." He took out a bag of red plums and handed it over, saying politely.

The third master took the cigarette, took out a cigarette and returned it.

"If you want to use it, just take it. We're all family, and we're still doing this. It's inconvenient to drain the water into the river, so just pump it directly into the lake."

"Hey, thank you, Master San."

"Haha, it's not bad to have a small pond. I can't take care of it all, otherwise I would have taken over the small pond. A big lake is driving me crazy."

Seeing the other person's expression, I knew that aquaculture in large lakes is not easy.

This lake covers hundreds of acres, and I heard that the center is particularly deep. Every time we pump the pond, we can never drain it dry, so many fish cannot be caught.

He also raised mandarin fish, crabs, and black carp, and he was exhausted just by feeding them every day.

"You are a capable person. How can an ordinary person manage a large lake?"

The other party sighed and said nothing more.

After the four people left, Qin Laosan picked up a cigarette, lit it, and sat heavily on the bed.

He and his wife were simply unable to handle Da Hu, and he was not confident in hiring someone else.

Unfortunately, their son was unwilling to raise fish and went to Chaohu to work, so the old couple could only struggle to make ends meet.

It's easy to sublet the big lake, but if we can't catch any fish in it, we'll lose too much, so this is the only way for now.

Thinking of this, he began to envy Qin Da. His son did not even go to college to come back to farm and raise fish. It would be nice to have children by his side.

On the other side, four people carried the water pump back to the river bank, installed the drive belt and prepared to pump water immediately.

"Who's coming?"

"Big brother, come here." The silly kid spoke first.

"Okay, I'll shake it."

He spat, installed the crank, pinched the air valve with his hand, and cranked the diesel engine with a "thump thump thump" sound.

When they were young, their favorite thing to do was to crank the diesel engine, and they always had to fight for it. But today they didn't fight with him.

Watching the water pump start to pump water, Qin Dahe estimated that the water depth in the small pond was about one to one and a half meters. It would take at least a whole day to pump it out, but in the evening, he would be able to start catching some fish in the shallows.

"You two should go home first. I'll take you fishing for crucian carp in the afternoon."

"Big big big brother, I'll dig."

"You're going to dig earthworms, right? Okay, I'll give you more later." He smiled and patted the silly kid.

Both adults in his family are gone, leaving only his grandmother. He has lived to this age thanks to the support of the people around him, and they are one of the main forces.

At that time, when they went out to catch fish, shrimps, bird nests, and rabbits, most of the things they took back were taken by the silly kid.

But Hanwaer didn't take their things for nothing. Whenever someone needed help, he would come from far away, especially to Qin Dahe, whom he treated as his own brother.

In his previous life, every year when he came back, Silly Boy was always the first one to come to his house. Even if he was not at home, he would come to see the old couple every few days.

　During the double monthly ticket period, can you give me some monthly tickets?
