Rebirth 77: From Beachcombing to Becoming a Tycoon and Spoiling My Wife

Yang Bai arrived at the Party Secretary's office.

Ma Hou was handling official business when he looked up and saw Yang Bai coming over. He quickly invited him to sit down.

He asked, unable to hide the smile on his face.

"How did your meeting with the specialist go this morning?"

Yang Bai nodded and said, "Not bad. They promised to give me a sixty-ton ship, but I need to deal with the difficult orders first."

Ma Hou got up to pour tea for Yang Bai, a hint of joy in his eyes.

"A sixty-ton ship, that would double the production capacity."

"Yes, I have an interview tomorrow. Shouldn't the village prepare a welcoming ceremony?"

Yang Bai asked.

Ma Hou was taken aback and seemed somewhat flustered.

"A reporter came to our village to interview you?"

Yang Bai nodded: "Yes."

He explained the situation to Ma Hou.

Ma Hou was overjoyed. "We definitely need to have someone welcome the reporter who came all the way from the region, Xiao Li."

Clerk Xiao Li came in immediately, and Ma Hou gave the instructions.

"Tomorrow at nine o'clock, a reporter from the region will be coming. Please ask the people in the village who know how to play gongs and drums to come and greet them at the village entrance tomorrow."

"Okay."

The clerk went out to handle it immediately.

Yang Bai didn't come here mainly to talk about these things.

He continued, "Secretary Ma, how's the construction of the breeding farm going?"

Ma Hou nodded, "It will take about four days to complete the ten-acre crab farm. We can also catch some big crabs and release them into the seawater to raise them."

"Four days, okay, I'll go back and make some preparations."

Yang Bai sipped his tea.

Once the breeding farm is established, it will be a good start, and the young people in the brigade will no longer have to farm all the time.

They will also be among the first batch of technical backbones in the future aquaculture industry.

Therefore, they must be nurtured properly.

He's already traveled back to the 70s; there's no way he'd keep fishing and ignore future developments.

After chatting with the Party Secretary and returning home, it was already evening.

As I entered the courtyard, I saw Chen Dahai leading a simply dressed, round-faced girl with braided hair over.

Although her face is round, it is considered cute, the kind of girl from a modest family.

"Old Chen, who is this...?"

Yang Bai looked at the girl; he had never seen Chen Dahai with a girl before.

Chen Dahai blushed and laughed.

"This is Huang Cuihua from our village. I brought her here to have clothes made."

Huang Cuihua was carrying a basket in her hand, which contained blue and white fabric.

"Brother Yang, Brother Dahai often mentions you to me."

"Brother Dahai?" Yang Bai's lips curled into a mischievous smile as he wrapped his arms around Dahai's neck and asked, "What's going on? You two seem to know each other quite well. Is she the girl you've got your eye on?"

Chen Dahai nodded. "Yes, I'm thirty now. I'm not some eunuch, am I? But I don't know if she's interested in me."

He had liked this girl for a long time, but he knew his own past situation and was afraid he couldn't give her a good life, so he didn't even have the courage to say hello.

As life got better and better, he had the courage to talk to her, and he was able to give the girl a good life even if she married him.

Yang Bai patted his chest.

"Hey, chasing girls is easy. Just exchange gifts and you'll get to know them quickly. Speaking of which, Xiaojun also has a female educated youth he likes. I'll see who gets married first."

Chen Dahai raised his head. "It's definitely me. That kid Xiao Jun probably won't even bother chasing me."

He has that confidence, otherwise he would have lived to this age in vain.

After taking Huang Cuihua's measurements, Su Wanqiu looked up and asked, "Cuihua, just tell me what kind of clothes you want. As long as you name it, I can make it for you."

Huang Cuihua turned to look at Chen Dahai beside her, revealing a pair of small tiger teeth, and smiled in a particularly charming and endearing way.

"Brother Dahai, what kind of clothes do you want me to wear?"

Yang Bai, who was sitting to the side, watched this scene and a smile crept onto his lips. Judging from her expression, the girl clearly had feelings for Chen Dahai.

He reached out and gently nudged Chen Dahai, who was lost in thought, and teased, "What are you daydreaming about? The girl is asking you a question."

Chen Dahai suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly replied, "Oh, I think you look good in a skirt, so why don't we make one?"

Huang Cuihua immediately nodded in agreement: "Okay, then I'll do as Brother Chen says and make a skirt. How much will it cost to make it with a sewing machine?"

Su Wanqiu said gently, "They're all acquaintances from the village, so I'll just charge you two yuan. There are a lot of orders in line right now, so just come back in three days to pick them up."

Just as Huang Cuihua was about to take out the plastic bag to retrieve her money, Chen Dahai quickly pulled out two yuan.

"I paid for Cuihua."

Huang Cuihua shook her head.

"How can you do this? How can I let you pay for the dress I made?"

Chen Dahai quickly made up an excuse.

"Um, next time I make clothes, you can pay for them."

Huang Cuihua then put the money in her pocket.

"Okay, Brother Dahai."

Yang Bai nodded slightly; Chen Dahai had found someone who knew how to manage a household.

Huang Cuihua looked at Yang Bai with a pleading look in her eyes.

"Brother Yang, it rained a few days ago, and the irrigation ditch near my house flooded."

Later, a lot of red shrimp appeared, and one day they even climbed onto the bed and pinched my ears, it hurt so much.

I heard you're good at catching seafood, could you help me with that?

She was so worried about these shrimp that she was afraid of getting pinched and didn't dare to catch them.

"You should have told me about this."

Chen Dahai's eyes were full of worry.

Huang Cuihua shook her head.

"Brother Chen, I'm afraid you'll get caught in the trap."

Yang Bai: "......."

He completely broke down, afraid that Chen Dahai would be trapped, but he himself didn't care?

"Cuihua, I'm not even afraid of death when it comes to you."

Chen Dahai's deepest affection was shown when he held her hand.

Seeing this, Yang Bai rolled his eyes helplessly and interrupted.

"Alright, enough with the sentimentality. Lead the way."

Seeing Yang Bai's expression, Su Wanqiu and Zhang Ning behind him couldn't help but chuckle to themselves.

Yang Bai picked up five bamboo baskets from the woodshed, hopped on his motorcycle, and set off first.

Chen Dahai rode his bicycle with Huang Cuihua on the back, and the group headed towards the neighboring village.

Before long, they arrived at the irrigation ditch not far from Cuihua's house.

The irrigation ditch was overgrown with aquatic plants, and Yang Bai bent down to part them.

Inside, there were countless red lobsters crawling among the seaweed.

This shrimp is indeed a crayfish. Yang Bai's eyes lit up; it was exactly what he had thought.

But there are so many crayfish here, there are at least five right here.

The popularity of crayfish began in the year 2000. In the 1970s, crayfish became rampant and were considered pests that damaged field ridges.

This thing was considered a type of shrimp in people's eyes, and was generally thought to be dirty. It had nothing to do with the deliciousness that later became a must-have for drinking.

In his hands, it becomes a Chinese snack, something to eat again tonight.

Yang Bai quickly rolled up his trousers and immediately went down into the ditch.

He grabbed one with each hand and threw it into the bamboo basket.

"Old Chen, come down here and grab a piece."

If the two of them keep getting all lovey-dovey, he'll feel like throwing up.

Upon hearing this, Chen Dahai immediately picked up a bamboo basket and jumped down.

"Don't worry, Cuihua, there won't be any more trouble after we catch them."
