Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 3 Gentle Wind
"Sit down first and talk about things." Qin's father said, asking the two of them not to rush to clean up.

"Abao is nineteen this year. Let's work hard for a year next year and save up a few tens of thousands of yuan. Then we can borrow some money from our in-laws and find him a wife. What do you think, Lan'er?"

"Okay, I'll go find the old man later. Doesn't he have three acres of land? We can use it to plant cotton and rapeseed next year. We can earn at least two to three thousand more a year."

"That's the best. Let's go there together at the end of the year." Qin's father felt relieved. He was planning to take over his father-in-law's land.

The old man is in poor health, so he rented out his three acres of land to someone else for farming this year. He can make more money by taking it back next year.

However, it was difficult for him to bring up this matter, so his wife had to bring it up first.

"Grandpa's land is so far away. It takes half an hour to go back and forth to plant the crops. We might as well rent the pond behind and I'll raise fish. Fish are expensive now, so raising fish is profitable." Qin Dahe said a little nervously.

After becoming rich in his previous life, he was trapped in an iron cage almost all the time. His yearning for the countryside once made him burst into tears in his dreams at midnight.

Now that he has finally traveled back, he no longer wants to work hard in the big city.

Farming, raising fish, chasing cats, and playing with dogs, if he could live this kind of life, he would wake up laughing in his dreams.

As for money, he didn't think his family would be short of it in the future. With three strong laborers and no burden, it wouldn't be too easy for him to make money. Besides, he was reborn.

"Why did you contract that three-acre pond? It's right next to our field. If you want to catch fish, just bring a battery and go in to catch some." Father Qin frowned.

He also looked down on contracting a fish pond. It would be hard to make a thousand yuan a year from a three-acre pond, and he still had to feed the fish frequently.

If you use this time, you can put down more eel cages and go boating in the river, and you can make a lot of money.

My father-in-law's land is indeed a bit far away, but cotton is now about three yuan per pound, so the more the better.

"Now that we have the contract, we can stock our own pond with small grass carp and crucian carp, unlike those in the wild river."

"What if there are too many fish and the pond turns over? Do you really think I don't understand?" Qin's father glared at his son.

"Didn't you want to go out to work? Why are you thinking about raising fish now?" Qin's mother also looked at her son suspiciously.

I haven't seen that brat for a few months, and he has changed a lot. Both his eyes and the tone of his voice seem to have gone through some things and have become more calm.

I know my own son well, and it's definitely a good thing that he's more mature now.

"Working is boring. Those who go out to learn car repair, cooking, or hairdressing are exhausted every day. Dozens of people live in a house that is not even as big as our main room. I don't want to go."

"have you seen?"

"I've seen it. It's at the restaurant in front of the school. The apprentice there is younger than me, and he only makes fifty yuan a month. What's the point?"

Thinking of the bitterness of those workers, he really felt the same way, and his own life in his previous life was not much better.

He doesn't want to endure hardships after graduation. He goes to some office buildings for interviews every day. When people see his graduation certificate, they just smile and tell him to wait for notification. He is not as good as those who make a living by their own efforts.

Later, by chance, I managed to find a job as a warehouse manager in a processing workshop, and the salary was not high.

He originally thought it was an "office job", but who would have thought he would also have to move goods and occasionally go to the workshop to help with work.

"It's better to stay at home, Lan'er. I'll go to the village and talk to them about renting the pond and your father's fields so you can make more money." Qin's father sighed.

The youngest son wants to farm but it’s not the right time. There are only so many fields. How can he make money without doing a side job?

"Yeah." "I'll go make the bed first. You ran back from so far away without even telling me. Are your feet rubbed?" Qin's mother patted his shoulder and began to feel sorry for the child again.

"Hey, I came back by car, but I really ran. Besides, you guys definitely wouldn't let me if I had said hello in advance."

"You still have the nerve to mention it. I'm going to Xinba with your dad this afternoon to fish with electricity. I'll have to work when I get back."

"knew."

Qin Dahe nodded. Since he had chosen to return to the countryside, he had no choice but to work.

The machining factory in his previous life made him wealthy for a while, but unfortunately, it eventually went bankrupt.

That year, the processing plant was hit by an epidemic. A man in his forties, busy every day trying to secure factory orders and loans, was in turmoil at home. Sometimes, passing by the river, he wanted to jump into it and end it all.

When he was sitting by the Yangtze River Bridge, he was thinking how good it would have been if he had stayed at home. Although he was a little poor, at least he didn't have to worry.

Although my friends who stayed in the countryside are not rich, I always envy them when I go back to their hometown occasionally. They are all tanned and look very energetic.

And those friends also envied him as a big boss who drove a BMW back to his hometown. It was like a wall. Those who went in wanted to get out, and those who came out wanted to go in again.

What they didn't know was that he had been driving his BMW for six or seven years, his house was mortgaged, and his factory also relied on bank loans to survive.

Every day when he opens his eyes, he sees hundreds of workers waiting for him to find orders to start work, suppliers waiting for his payment, bank people waiting for his year-end financial statements, and his wife and children spending thousands of dollars a day.

These things surrounded him all the time, making him wailing like a wounded beast, and he even dreamed of returning to his childhood hometown.

He no longer wanted to make big money, nor did he want to "sit in an office", and he was even unwilling to touch businesses that could make money easily.

I want to settle down in the countryside for the rest of my life, marry a simple-minded wife, raise two dogs, plant some land, and raise some fish.

No matter how hard it is, he doesn't care if his children want to go out and make a living, as long as they stay in the countryside.

The city is indeed prosperous, but the moon is too small and the windows are too dark. All you can see are buildings and green trees, which makes people feel unhappy, especially after drinking.

After my mother finished cleaning up his bedroom, he lay comfortably on the bed, looking at the beams on the roof, with a silly smile on his face.

Even the wind blowing through the window became exceptionally gentle.

"You can't even row a boat. After three years of college, what else can you do?" Qin's father stared at his son fiercely.

I'm still pissed off, so why not give him a shock? The voltage isn't high anyway.

Seeing his father's unfriendly look, Qin Dahe hurriedly took a bamboo pole to stabilize the hull of the cement boat.

"Dad, let me get familiar with it. I will definitely practice hard later."

"Hmph!" The man snorted coldly without saying anything more.

The two were fishing with electricity in the river outside the village. The river bordered three villages and no one could contract it, so there were always ground traps, eel traps and electric fishermen like Qin's father stationed there all year round, but not everyone came to use electricity.

It takes two people to fish with electricity, one to hold the boat and the other to stand at the bow with the electric pole. If you go a little far away, it will take half a day. You can earn dozens of yuan by working.

The electric pole is like a scoop net, with electric wires hanging on it, which are more than three meters long in total. Every time you use electricity, you can hit someone accurately.
