Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 56 The Night is Silent
"Okay, I'll discuss it with Lan'er tonight and then ask them to contact the women."

Father Qin took a puff of his cigarette and did not object.

They were in the center of the surrounding villages, and there were quite a few pretty girls there, with Xiaoxue being one of the best.

She has very fair skin and dresses fashionably. I guess my son won’t object, right?
Generally, in such matters, the men take the initiative and discuss their intentions, and the rest of the contact is made by the women.

After the boss of Limin Supermarket settled the matter, he exchanged a few pleasantries and went back. It was a very crowded time in the supermarket and one person couldn't handle it all.

Qin Dahe didn't know how popular he was. He was chatting about his childhood at his grandmother's house and waiting for the silly boy to come back and tell stories.

As we talked, we ended up talking about marriage.

Silly boy definitely can't get married now. His family is so poor. He should work hard to make money first.

"Grandma, my mother has started looking for a wife for me. Alas, I don't know what the situation is." He didn't know what kind of person his wife in this life would be.

According to his current thinking, as long as she is a normal rural woman, he will be very happy.

In his previous life, he worked outside and rarely went home. He was unwilling to listen to his parents and go on blind dates during the Chinese New Year. It was not until he was 30 years old that he found a wife in the city.

As for his wife in his previous life, she wasn't bad, actually. She just had many common problems of city women, which made him very uncomfortable.

He wants to eat and drink exquisitely, raise children exquisitely, and live a refined life. When he is busy with work, he doesn't even want to go home.

Every time he goes back, there are a lot of things waiting for him. These things can be done or not, but his wife requires him to do them.

Finally, a fisherman who often went out for meetings was forced out.

"It must be a good one. Your mother has high standards. She was very picky when she married your father."

"Really? My dad is just like that, right?" he said with a bit of disgust.

My dad is not good-looking, he snores, farts, grinds his teeth when he sleeps, and likes to brag. I really don’t know how I chose him.

"Your father (grandfather) is a good fighter. Your father was also a fierce man at that time, but he was very popular."

"Being able to fight is also a plus, right?"

"Not only must you be able to fight, you must also dare to fight. Although your family has little land, you and your sister didn't starve even in the famine. You must be capable." Grandma said with a smile, "Now that the public security is better, Qin Da is relatively well behaved. But back then, he led people to block the Tongjiang Avenue and demand money. Otherwise, how could your family have the three large tiled houses we have now?"

The three large tiled houses built in the 1980s are already larger than many other families in the village. Now he is thinking about building a house for his son to get married.

"Damn, he's a car thief and a highway bully?" Qin Dahe widened his eyes.

Damn it, no wonder the old man often went out of town for several days when I first remembered him. I didn't know about it in my previous life. Fortunately, I didn't get caught, otherwise my son wouldn't be able to take the civil service exam in the future.

"Not really. At that time, he led people to build a clay stove on the roadside and exchanged boiled water and noodles for some meat coupons and oil coupons." Grandma explained with a smile.

At that time, only rich people could drive and had plenty of money.

But how could boiled water and noodles compare to meat and oil coupons? Drivers just considered it a loss to avoid disaster, as it was not easy to have a hot meal on the road.

At this moment, Hanwaer also came back after finishing his work. Qin Dahe told him that they didn't need to go fishing for silver carp and bighead carp together tomorrow, and handed him the things in his hand.

"Brother, what is this?"

"The five-meter main line, sub-line and float are all a combination of 22+18, and there is also a pound of bait. You can get a bamboo pole and try it yourself one day." He made a lot of money in the past two days, so naturally he would not be stingy.

After the temperature drops, it becomes difficult to catch silver carp and bighead carp. The water is very deep on the other side of the sluice. Who knows if we can still reach the bottom? Let the kids do it.

"Brother, you are so nice." The silly kid was a little excited again.

A big silver carp costs one or two hundred yuan. If you use a spring to bait a pound of bait yourself, it will be enough for half a day if you are frugal.

Catching two fish is profitable, and the line set my brother has isn't available in the countryside. "I'll give you the stuff and then I'll go back. Don't go fishing on rainy days. It's a waste of bait."

"I know!" The silly kid nodded heavily.

Silver carp and bighead carp will float to the surface on rainy days, but they will not take bait unless you cast a net.

When Qin Dahe returned, the old man stopped him when he saw him coming, repeated what the owner of Liming Supermarket had just said, and asked him if he was happy about it.

"No, I want to find someone who lives an honest life. Why does he wear fancy clothes all day long?" Qin Dahe said with disgust.

He also knew Xiaoxue. They were classmates in junior high school. They were pen pals frequently at that time and were very cool.

I rode in his car yesterday. His skin was so white, too flashy, and his chest looked like it had been burned with an iron.

"Let your mother talk to you later." The old man didn't care about these things. He was only responsible for passing on the message. Whether it would work or not still depended on his wife's decision.

"By the way, I'm going to the city to sell fish tomorrow. Give me the address of the place you sold it to last time."

"You can go to Frozen Street and ask around and find out, Scar, there's also a business card." He went to the room and took out the business card, which had a landline number on it.

"Are you still going to fish for silver carp and bighead carp tomorrow?"

"No, we can't do that. After six hours of cooling, the water temperature starts to change. Once silver carp and bighead carp surface or dive, it's too difficult to catch them. We can't get to the bottom of the water through the sluice gate."

The next step is to prepare the breeding nests. Over there are the grass carp and carp nests. They need to gain weight in this cooling season, so we should be able to catch some fish.

After saying that, the old man waved his hand and went to sleep. Now the convenience store was almost closed and there was nowhere to go if he went out.

He was bored and alone, so he turned on the radio he brought back from school and listened to FM.

“Is there a song that reminds you of someone?”

"I think of a past event, and my younger self."

“Time always hides our inner voices, but they are always awakened by familiar lyrics inadvertently.”

"A song, an era, a period of time, next up is singer Che Jiling's performance of "The Farthest You, My Closest Love"

A familiar omen sounded, and the music flowed into his heart like water.

"The night is silent"

“Who can I tell my worries to?”

"If you refuse to look back, all the love will be missed"

As he listened, Qin Dahe, who was a middle-aged man at heart, burst into tears. He could never go back to that home, never again.

Seeing that he was in pain, Chao Mian stayed in his arms and licked his palm obediently.

"The scenery of life is wandering, and whenever I feel lonely I look back."

"Your love is always not far away."

The more he listened, the more uncomfortable he felt. He couldn't help but turn off the radio.

"What the hell, what a nostalgic old song."

No matter how bad his home was in his previous life, it was built by him alone. There were all kinds of messes in it, but also some memories that made him miss them. How could he just forget them?

Wiping away his tears, he picked up a reader and began to read those "questions" to kill time.
