Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 302

"Okay, I'll buy it for you if you want to eat it."

"Do you want fruit leather?"

"Yes, and hawthorn slices." She started drooling at the thought of these things. They were sour and sweet, much better than meat.

From the Chinese New Year to now, I am really tired of eating meat. It’s time to change the taste.

Qin Dahe nodded and went to get the bait. He had to deliver the bait to someone today.

I don’t know what’s going on in Hubei, but there are several more customers.

But now he has set the rule that the minimum delivery weight is 20 kilograms.

When I got to town, I went to the post office to have the goods delivered and received more than a thousand yuan.

I also saw someone selling toy guns at the intersection, and I couldn't help but become interested.

After looking through them carefully, I was a little disappointed. They were all made of plastic.

It would be great if I could get an air rifle, preferably one with a long barrel, it would be so much fun to play with.

"Boss, what material is your bench made of?" There was a heavy wooden bench next to the boss's stall, which looked very rare.

He thought that if it was a rare wood, he would buy it for his grandfather to make something.

"This is made of ironwood. I brought it from Yunnan. Do you want it?"

"Iron pear wood?" He was a little confused when he heard it.

"Haha, it sinks in water. We have a lot of them. If you want, I'll give you thirty."

"Okay." Qin Dahe paid immediately without saying a word.

He didn't hear anything else. It sank as soon as it entered the water. Isn't it a good material for making a float?

There are fewer and fewer heavy floats now, and there are not enough for the anglers in town.

It’s a good time to buy it and let the kids make more floats.

The bench is heavy and indeed has weight.

I threw it on the passenger seat and went to the supermarket to buy a lot of hawthorn products. This is what my wife wanted.

After thinking about it, I bought two bottles of good wine. I will go to my grandfather's house for dinner later, so I must bring something.

I started the car and drove home in no time.

"Yan'er, I'm going to grandpa's house for dinner, do you want to come?"

Yanyan is busy helping Qin's mother hang out the clothes to dry. It's a rare sunny day today.

"I'm not going. It's good to eat at home."

In May, she and her mother went to her grandfather's house. The food was tasteless and it was better to eat at home.

"Okay, I'm leaving."

It's already a little after ten o'clock, it's not good to be too late.

"Son." Mother Qin waved her hand.

"what happened?"

She whispered, "Don't borrow money from your grandpa, just give him a few hundred yuan as a token of your appreciation."

As he said that, he took out five hundred yuan from his pocket and gave it to him.

No matter how unkind the old man is, he is still his father. How can he expect his son to be filial to him?

"got it."

He nodded and went straight to the door to start the splicing boat and set off.

The rain has just stopped and the roads in the village are all muddy. It is impossible to ride a pedalo. He doesn't want to walk either, so it is more convenient to ride a boat.

The gasoline engine was started, and the small wooden boat moved forward rapidly under the acceleration of the oars.

It took a few minutes to reach Xinba, and then after turning a corner, we saw my grandfather's house.

To be honest, if my grandfather could be nicer to my mother, since our two families are so close, they would definitely have close interactions.

Unfortunately, Qin Dahe had been hurt too many times, time and again, and he was full of resentment.

I went ashore carrying two bottles of good wine and walked a few steps into my grandfather's yard.

When I went in, my grandmother was digging a ditch in the yard to drain the accumulated water.

"Mother-in-law." He called out with a smile.

"Dahe is here, go in first." Grandma put down the shovel when she saw it, "Why are you carrying things when you come to my house?"

"Haha, I bought it by the way." He reached out and took the shovel. "I'll do it."

The wine was handed to grandma, and she had to send the things back first.

He was digging the drainage ditch skillfully. It turned out that his yard was also made of mud, and the drainage ditch had to be dug frequently.

Once the sun came out, the yard soon became hard.

I felt a little speechless while working.

My uncle made money this year and gave me 20,000 yuan in June.

I asked my uncle to build a new house nearby, but after the house was built, my grandfather was unwilling to live in it and insisted on living in a mud house.

He said he would leave the new house to his children and grandchildren, and he would live in the mud house himself.

Grandpa also came out at this time. Qin Dahe handed him a cigarette, helped him light it, and took a puff himself to chat.

"Dahe is capable now." Grandpa looked at his grandson with satisfaction.

He smokes cigarettes that cost more than 20 yuan, drives a mini van, and looks very impressive.

His two sons are also promising, but they are not around, so it’s not very interesting to talk about them.

"Make a little money." Qin Dahe chuckled, "Dad, you're in good health now."

"It's very good. Your uncles often pass me food. I can't finish it."

After finishing a cigarette, he continued to dig through the drainage ditch. When his grandfather wanted to reach out, he was stopped. There was no reason for the grandson not to take action.

"Daha, come in and sit down. It's time for dinner. I'll go call your uncle." Uncle is my grandfather's eldest brother. He helped build the new house next door.

"Mother-in-law, I'm here." He answered and went in to sit down.

The food for lunch today was pretty good, including roasted eel, pork rib soup and braised duck.

After a while, the eldest father came over. Qin Dahe greeted him politely, and the three of them sat at the table in a lively atmosphere.

Seeing that my grandfather was in a good mood, I opened a bottle of wine. Luzhou Laojiao is still popular now.

"Dad, Dad, I'd like to toast you both and wish you good health." He raised his head, picked up the cup and took a sip.

Turning to look at grandma, she said, "Grandma, you come up to eat too."

"You guys eat, I'll make some food in the kitchen." Grandma waved her hand. She rarely sat at the table when guests came to the house.

Qin Dahe didn't care, it had been like this for so many years.

"Daha, you are making a lot of money now." Dad said with a smile.

The two old men praised him profusely, saying nice things to him as if they were free.

"Haha, how can I compare with my uncles? They are doing so rough out there." He said modestly.

The most promising person in the Ye family is the eldest uncle. My grandfather only brags about my younger uncle. No one, including my eldest father, thinks that my younger uncle is capable.

He is already forty years old, and still needs his old man to transfer money to him every year. What ability does he have?

As they talked, they got to talking about harvesting cotton.

It is the beginning of autumn now, and cotton will be available soon. All major cotton-tying factories are making full preparations.

"Dahe, it seems that your second uncle is transferring shares, right?" Daddy suddenly said.

"Uh, yes." Qin Dahe was stunned for a moment. A few days ago, the second master wanted him to buy back the shares.

"My son Xiangzi, your uncle, went to Cangtou and bought a share of the company," Dadi asked with a smile. "How much do you want these two shares of your uncle's company?"

"."

How is this any different from joining the Nationalist army in 1949? So many new flower-making factories aren't investing any money, but are going to such a large one to get involved.

It turns out that this is the reason why he asked me to have dinner with him today. No wonder he didn’t ask his dad. He has a bad temper and I can’t necessarily order him around.

"The second master negotiated 50,000 with me, but I didn't buy it. It's not worth it." He shook his head.

"Fifty thousand!" Dad was immediately shocked. "We spent fifty-five thousand to buy one share."

Grandpa put down his wine glass and looked at his grandson. Is there any explanation?

"Why didn't you even ask for 50,000?"

"In a large factory, it's all shareholders who run the show. With a good factory manager, everything is easy. But the most powerful manager, Mr. Li, has been forced out, and we don't know what's going to happen next."

He told what he knew, but did not mention his speculations.

Maybe it was just due to poor management and it has made a comeback this year.

"It's all about harvesting cotton. Xiangzi said we have to buy another spot before we can harvest cotton." Dad said with shining eyes.

The major shareholder of the cotton-making factory is the village brigade headquarters, and then there are the small shareholders, and at least two points are required to be qualified to collect and sell cotton.

"Please help me build a bridge, buy a little more shares, and help me bargain for a lower price." As for what Qin Dahe said, they didn't take it to heart.

Without Butcher Zhang, we can't eat pigs with hair. When Director Li leaves, there will naturally be other directors to take over.
"Dad, I can't help you with this. What if you..." He looked troubled.

He doesn't care if it all goes to waste and his relatives can't come back, because there are not many people coming here anyway.

What I fear most is that his family will be blackmailed. After all, he is rich. It is not uncommon for my grandfather to take advantage of his seniority to make up for losses.

"It's okay, you go and help talk. It won't cost much. We are all family anyway." The old man raised his glass.

Qin Dahe could only follow suit and take a sip.

"Last year they were bragging about their annual output value of 30 million, but this year they've been quiet. Dad, you should ask around, I won't tell you anyway."

I took a bite of the braised duck. Among all the dishes on the table, only the pork rib soup and the braised duck were slightly to my taste.

"Cena, we are all family, why don't you help with such a small favor?" Grandpa glared at him.

"It's not that I don't want to help, it's just that I can't help. You should at least understand the situation over there and then come to their door yourself."

Do you really think he's young? Some things don't just make sense with age, otherwise only the elderly would be rich.

He calmly drank a sip of white wine and picked up a peanut. This behavior made the old man look embarrassed.

"Dad, it's better to ask more about the situation. It's not a good deal if you rush to get something." He said quietly.

Unfortunately, neither my grandfather nor my eldest father thought so.

"If the flower-making factory doesn't make money, then it doesn't make money. Xiangzi can still go to work and get a salary. In addition to harvesting cotton, he should be able to make back at least half of it this year." The old man carefully calculated the accounts.

After discussing it with my grandfather, I became more and more excited, as if I would get rich soon.

"Dad, your two sons are so rich now, why do you have to get involved in this?" He whispered while the eldest dad went to drain the water.

No matter how close I am to him, he is still my grandson. How can I help my elder brother bully his grandson?

Brothers in rural areas have two families after they grow up and get married. Not to mention grandchildren at home, even grandchildren-in-law cannot compare to them.

"Just help him. We are living well, but my eldest brother's family is still not well off."

At this time, Dad came out of the toilet.

"My uncle's family lives a good life. They can even make candy in the winter and earn 20,000 yuan a year."

Daddy's side business is making fried candies, which are square candies made from fried rice, malt sugar, peanuts and sesame seeds.

The processing fee can earn you nearly 10,000 yuan in one winter. People here like to make this because it is cheap and delicious.

But ever since he was old enough to understand, Mom has never come to Daddy's house to make candy.

From what she said, it seemed that it was because his house was always the last one to go home, so she couldn't go home until dark.

"How much money can you make?" Daddy said with a wry smile as he sat down. "Several of your cousins are getting married soon, and they all need money."

"Okay, Daha, listen to me." Grandpa cleared his throat.

"Give your dad 20,000 yuan. His family is still short of shares. I'll give it to you when they make money in the next two years. You don't have to bother with anything."
