Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 226: Eldest Sister Returns to Her Parents' Home

"I think so too. Let's see what my Third Master has to say."

If he could take over the big lake, he would just use a lawn mower and modify it into a rope-type mowing machine. It would be so convenient to feed the fish with grass that no manpower would be needed.

Then I can leave the big lake to my parents and go out for fun when I have time. It's perfect, haha.

If the old couple knew what he was thinking, they would definitely beat him up.

All he does all day is find trouble for others and do the easy work himself.

The boy from the third master's family is not doing anything right outside. He was cheated last year and his family was asked for tens of thousands of dollars.

He suffered another financial setback this year, losing more than 20,000 yuan in gambling. San Ye has looked much more haggard during this period.

It was useless for Qin Dahe to persuade him about this matter. Not only was their relationship average, but the unconventional person would never consider a farmer's thoughts.

The contract will be signed in September. If Mr. San can't afford the price by then, he will be ready to go.

Anyway, there are not many people who can offer this price, so he has the confidence.

When Silly Kid arrived, it was already a little after eight o'clock.

I went to my elder sister's place first to put the river shrimps down. I didn't expect Binbin to get up so early today.

"Uncle." A little fat boy saw him running towards him.

"Hey, my little fat boy gets up very early." He was almost knocked down, and the little guy even bit his face. This uncle is really good and often brings him food.

"Good morning, let's eat."

Qin Dahe smiled and turned around with the little guy in his arms, then sank again.

"Sister, where's Brother Yong?"

"The county has delivered the goods to the warehouse, and he went to pick them up." The elder sister was very happy when she saw the half pound of river shrimps put down by her younger brother.

My father-in-law is collecting fish at home now, so he doesn’t need this at all, but the meaning of the gifts from family members is different.

"Dahe, how is Yanyan now?"

"That's great. I'm going on vacation again soon." Qin Dahe said with a smile.

As the temperature rose, the stationmaster didn't dare let her go to work. There wasn't much work at the grain station anyway, so he simply let her continue her vacation.

Qin Dahe also paid a visit to Uncle Chen, who had built a bridge for him. He made himself familiar with him and gave him some fish to eat.

I don’t ask my wife for a promotion or a raise, I just want her work to go more smoothly.

"That's great, but you need to move the welding machine at home. No pregnant woman wants to hear welding going on every day."

"I know. I'll have to think about it when I get back." Qin Dahe nodded.

Electric welding is definitely not allowed at home, no one's home can do it.

Although Tiedan got married late, it was only a matter of time before she got pregnant. People in rural areas can do this very quickly.

After playing with Binbin for a while, the little guy even pulled on his tricycle and insisted on going with him.

"How about I take Binbin back, and you and brother-in-law come to my house for lunch?" Qin Dahe suggested.

"That's fine. I haven't been home for dinner for a long time." The eldest sister's eyes lit up when she heard this. It was a good opportunity for her to go home and talk to her mother.

Anyway, fertilizer stores are usually closed at noon and are only busy in the morning.

The little guy got to sit in the driver's seat as he wished, but he was sitting on the silly kid's lap, and he couldn't sit alone.

When I go back, my mother will take care of me. Now that I don’t have a grandson to take care of me, I can still have fun when my grandson comes.

"Sister, I'll go back first."

"Let's go, and drive slowly." The elder sister smiled and waved her hand. Someone here wanted fertilizer, so it was a good opportunity to send her son away.

When she got home, Qin's mother was surprised to see her big fat grandson, but she hadn't seen her little fat grandson for a long time.

"Where's your sister?" She looked around and there was no one else in the car.

"Sister, come home for lunch at noon." He looked at the girl and said, "Yan'er, come home for lunch at noon."

It's just after eight o'clock now. Yanyan rides her scooter to work very quickly, so she always leaves late.

"Yeah, okay." She nodded immediately after hearing that.

When my sister comes to visit us, there will definitely be a lot of dishes.

The little girl was also very happy to see Binbin. Except for adults, any species that are chubby are cute.

Binbin also likes her and keeps calling her aunt, not shy at all.

There is still cement in the car, and he has to go to Hanwaer's house to start working now. He won't delay and can just come back for lunch at noon.

When we arrived at Hanwaer's homestead, Erhu was sifting sand. The three of them were busy here today.

The cement can be mixed directly on the foundation, in a large area, which is very convenient.

After adding sand and stirring it, he and the kid started laying bricks.

It is normal for rural people to do this. They don’t need to find a master chef, they can do it themselves, which saves a lot of labor costs.

The walls are made of double bricks, which makes them stronger.

After they finish their work during the day, Hanwaer will continue to do some simple work at night, trying to finish it as soon as possible.

The place where the kids live is a tent made of waterproof cloth. Someone has to be there at night, otherwise the bricks and cement will be stolen.

The three of them were sweating all over. The sun was a bit strong, so they stopped at eleven o'clock.

By this time, his clothes were soaked through, and after the wind dried the sweat from his arms, salt particles were still precipitated. "Dahe, this house is drying fast."

"Haha, he is a carpenter himself, and my grandfather generously donated the wood, so it will definitely be done quickly." Qin Dahe said with a smile.

Each of them gave away a Red Nanjing cigarette. The brothers could only secretly envy Qin Dahe's improved smoking quality.

It’s so cool. My wife can give me whatever money I want. Unlike them, they have to go out and do things to get the Double Happiness lottery.

"Half a month." The kid said confidently, "It will be done within half a month."

It would take at most two days to build the wall. Although it was also three large tiled houses, it was smaller than Qin Dahe's house.

Even if it's a slow process, it's still much faster than his.

That tile-roofed house has an extra attic, so it took at least half a month longer to build than others, and the material costs were also higher.

The next step is to put up the beams, nail the strips, make the bamboo mats, and then put up the tiles.

Hanwaer is a carpenter himself, and the master comes to help with the work, which saves a lot of money.

Once the floor inside the house has hardened and the putty powder is applied inside and outside, the beautiful house with white walls and black tiles will be ready.

Some people who are not particular don't even apply putty powder, and just build red brick walls. The inside of the house is not hardened, and the base is just earth.

The overall cost is surprisingly cheap, even ten thousand yuan can do it. Silly kid is getting married, so he definitely can't be fooled like this.

After finishing the cigarette, the child followed Qin Dahe home first. He had been eating at his house all this time.

Nowadays, even the stoves are removed when building houses, so there is no place to start a fire, so this is the only way.

When I got home, Yanyan was not home yet, but she got off work at 11:30, and including the time she spent riding her bike on the way, she would be home at the latest 11:40.

My eldest sister and brother-in-law have already arrived and brought some Dragon Boat Festival gifts. The festival is coming soon, so there’s no need to make a special trip.

When the little fat boy saw his parents coming, he immediately babbled about how much fun he had in the morning.

None of the four little ones in the family were spared, even Sang Biao was caught by my mother and given to him to play with.

The age that even dogs dislike is no joke. Now the four little ones have all hidden in the new house.

"Dahe, there are a lot of people fishing for big fish in town right now."

When his brother-in-law saw him coming back, he immediately pulled him aside and started chatting enthusiastically about fishing.

Qin Dahe single-handedly brought silver carp and bighead carp fishing to the town. These fishermen like to show off, and many people in the town are talking about this topic.

Today I caught a 40-jin silver carp, and tomorrow I caught a 65-jin bighead carp. The frequent appearance of various giant fish really made many people jealous.

However, after some inquiries, we found out that the traditional seven-star float with a single hook cannot be used for fishing, so no one had any idea about it.

I also have to buy a set of fishing gear. Who has the time to gamble and make money by fishing?

At this time, Yanyan arrived home on time for dinner. She rode the scooter very skillfully, braking and stopping in one go, and then went straight to the dinner table.

"Mom, sister, Binbin." The little face flushed with excitement.

It’s nice to have guests at home. We can eat delicious food and it’s lively.

"Yan'er, slow down." The eldest sister pulled her back with amusement. Even though she was a twin, she was still in a hurry.

"Hey, hello, sister."

"Everything is fine, haha." The eldest sister was also happy to see her sister-in-law. It was so pleasing to be pregnant with twins.

Qin's father also came back from outside, holding two big silver carp and bighead carp, one bighead carp and one white carp.

When he saw his daughter and son-in-law coming, he greeted them and then went to the back.

Silver carp thrown directly into the pond to improve water quality is not worth much.

"Dad, how is things over in Da Wan?" Qin Dahe asked curiously.

"It's just so-so. Dabao was lucky today and caught three silver carp." He said depressedly.

I caught two silver carp and bighead carp, which were not big, weighing only a dozen pounds in total.

"Very good." Qin Dahe felt relieved when he heard it. It would be uncomfortable if he stopped and others exploded. Fishermen are very jealous.

After washing his hands, Father Qin started to play with his grandson. The little fat boy is very talkative now. He can talk nonstop to anyone he sees and he plays quite well with his grandfather.

"Wash your hands and have dinner." My mother called out, and Qin Dahe went to the kitchen to help serve the dishes.

Qianli Piaoxiang (steamed tofu with stinky vegetables), braised duck, mixed fish pot, steamed eggs, a large portion of pork rib soup and two vegetables.

This table is definitely a feast, with meatballs added to the stinky tofu.

Because the little fat boy likes to eat duck, Qin's mother specially chopped off half a duck today and left a duck leg for Binbin to chew on.

"Duck, eat." The little guy couldn't take his eyes off the duck.

The silly kid was still a little reserved, and was pulled by Qin Dahe to sit at the table.

Looking at the table full of dishes, Yanyan's appetite was whetted, especially the steamed tofu with stinky vegetables and spicy sauce, which was so fragrant and her favorite.

"Yan'er, whatever you like to eat, I'll pick it up for you."

"No need, sister, I can do it myself." The little girl seemed to have heard an order and immediately scooped a spoonful of tofu into the bowl.

The four men at the table didn't drink either, and Brother Yong had to drive back in the afternoon.

A group of people were chatting about fishing and collecting fish, and Qin's father became very talkative.

"I still have to go fishing for herring. I'm really not good at catching silver carp and bighead carp." He turned to look at Qin Dahe: "Son, is fishing for herring just about making a screw hole?"
