little fisherman catching the sea

Chapter 58
Seeing Zhao Ling returning to the village, Huang Xiulan asked loudly, "What did you buy?"

"I bought a duck." Lifting the bag in her hand, Zhao Ling said with a smile, "Be a ginger duck."

Huang Xiulan nodded and said in agreement, "I want to make up for your Xiao Miao. If I raise such a capable son, I will buy ducks for him every day. Serve them delicious and delicious, and then kick them into the sea."

Zhang Siqing, who was sweeping the floor at the door, laughed, "Why do you still go ashore? Throw it into the sea, and you are not allowed to go ashore until you get money!"

"Then I'll find a rope later and drive him down." Zhao Ling was in a good mood, and joked, "That little thing spends a lot of money these days, eats and drinks well, and is always lazy. If If you don’t make more money, you won’t be able to support yourself.”

This kind of "modestness" is hated by others, and the villagers of Dongping Village are naturally more aware of this matter.

Let’s not talk about the past, just talk about pumping water.I found more than 1000 fish today, and it seems that I earned several hundred yuan yesterday.

Zhang Miao's income from pumping water is higher than that of many fishermen who go fishing.What's more, when there was no ban on fishing before, Zhang Miao often went fishing with his father, and his income was quite good.

When she got home, Zhao Ling also saw her cousins ​​Zhang Shaolin, Zhang Shaoxing, and Zhang Minghui sitting in the yard, chatting with Zhang Liye.

They all make a living by fishing. After the fishing ban, they either catch the sea or find some odd jobs. This can also be said to be the living conditions of fishermen during the fishing ban.

In fact, they are all Lao Zhang's family, and they have a good relationship. They walk around frequently and help each other.It's just that this time, Zhao Ling can probably guess something.

A good relationship is a good relationship, but sometimes, everyone has some ideas of their own.

Zhang Minghui took a puff of cigarette and said, "I really didn't expect that there were so many fish in that pit. I just walked there two days ago. I never thought about going to see it. Young people still have ideas and dare to fish." invest."

"Isn't it!" Zhang Shaolin continued, "I also have a water pump at home, but I never thought about finding a puddle for it. When I think about a few hours, the gas money will also go into it, so I dare not move it. This thing Son, you still have to be courageous."

Zhang Liye took out his cigarette and smoked around again, "I have the same idea. If he wants to buy a water pump, I will be so angry. That little thing is disobedient and has ideas. I think it's better to forget it and let him go. There is no way to talk to him without falling over."

"Then my little nephew is still capable, you can't say anything about him." Zhang Minghui laughed, and said half-truth, "My little nephew is fishing at home, and he can easily spend [-] to [-] yuan a month. Coax him, he is better at fishing than you."

Zhang Liye waved his hand and said, "How can there be so much in a month! It's just a few days of good luck to make a little money, and after getting rid of the capital, it is considered a good thing to be able to drop 1 yuan a month."

Zhao Ling just said hello, and then went to the kitchen to get busy, and couldn't say anything more about some things.

Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, but in the village and among relatives, it is normal to ask about income and so on in a few sentences.Furthermore, if a certain person has some achievements, sometimes some relatives and friends will also want to ask for help.

For this matter, I don't know what to say, I help if I can, but I don't just help blindly.

As for the family's income, Zhao Ling naturally couldn't be more clear about it.Let’s not talk about pumping water or anything, the previous sea catching and so on, the income is also good.Not to mention that some weather is not suitable for catching the sea, or the income is not good.

But Zhao Ling knew that earning about [-] yuan by pumping water like today is not a particularly big gain for Zhang Miao.

Seeking truth from facts, the gross monthly income is close to [-], which should be no problem for Zhang Miao.And for fishermen like Zhang Miao, taxation is not so strict in many cases.

Of course, Zhao Ling also knows that the income seems to be good, but the need to spend money is actually not too little.But she knows that she is satisfied. The current income of the family is quite enviable in the eyes of the villagers, and it is indeed very good.

There are still many places to spend money, and I still want to buy a slightly better boat.These are also things that cost money. After a while, you can really consider bringing this matter into the discussion and start implementing it.

After all, in the previous discussions, no one knew whether Zhang Miao was joking or took those things seriously.

After playing basketball, Zhang Miao came home and took out a cigarette from her pocket, "Uncle, here is one."

"I thought you were going to take out Huazi, why is it only twenty yuan." Zhang Minghui took the cigarette with a smile, and joked, "You, don't drive this car tomorrow, buy a better one."

Zhang Miao shook her head and said with emotion, "I'm saving money, and I'm still planning to buy a boat. Uncle, your boat is very good. I'm going to buy a big boat with a live water tank with my dad. But come here, can you sponsor me a little?"

Zhang Minghui laughed and said, "It's easy to say, when you have to do big things, I will definitely help you."

After the joke was over, Zhang Miao went back to the room to take a shower.Playing ball and exercising is indeed a joyful thing.Taking a shower after sweating, Zhang Miao also felt that this was an extremely beautiful thing.

During dinner time, Zhang Miao said while eating, "Shall we build a better house next year?"

"I also want to live in a better place, like a small villa." Zhao Ling laughed and said to Zhang Miao, "It costs money! Besides, you are fishing at home now, but there is no house in the city. , What about falling in love and getting married in the future?"

Zhang Miao complained, "If you don't have a house in the city, you can't get married? Let me tell you, our house is bigger and more comfortable."

"It's not just what you said, it's the woman's reasoning." Zhang Liye laughed, and then said, "Another thing, the house is not meant to be used for marriage. You also know the teaching level of our elementary and junior high schools. , there is a house in the city, and it is also for children to study."

This time Zhang Miao didn't say anything more. He was in his early 20s and in the ivory tower. At that time, he could be a little naive and act on his own will.But out of society, sometimes too naive, that may not be a good thing.

Zhao Ling also said, "How many students from No. [-] Middle School our junior high school wants to be admitted to in a year, it depends on the policy. Like when you were studying, how many students were admitted to No. [-] Middle School in a year?"

This is also true. Now it seems that there are some policies, and high school enrollment is also slightly inclined to some rural junior high schools.And when Zhang Miao was in junior high school, rural junior high schools like theirs had top students who were admitted to No. [-] and No. [-] middle schools every year. Compared with some junior high schools in the city, the quality of teaching was indeed much worse.

Zhang Liye also said, "I also heard from them two days ago that your former head teacher has been transferred to No. [-] Middle School. The better teachers have been transferred away. Children's reading must not be sloppy."

Zhang Miao scoffed at the theory that reading is useless, and he couldn't generalize from a few examples.And his situation is even more special. If it weren't for good luck, he wouldn't be able to achieve some results in fishing.

Well, Zhang Miao can see it now.He may have made some money during this period, but there are more places to spend it.

We still need to continue to work hard, and we must not be complacent because of the current small achievements.

The matter of pumping water has made a good start for the time being, and Zhang Miao really has no intention of giving up, and needs to make persistent efforts and continue to work hard.It's just that tomorrow, it is estimated that there is no way to pump water, and I have to go to the sea.

The income of chasing the sea may not necessarily be less, and Zhang Miao is more confident in finding more gains.

Thinking of something, Zhang Miao said, "Tomorrow, when we go to sea, should we continue to search on the tidal flats, or do other things?"

"Tomorrow you go to the tidal flats to look for them. We will rake clams and conch." Zhang Liye said, "Those things are tiring, and if you are lucky, you can make money."

Clams seem to be relatively "average unit price", but if you find snails, it is also very profitable.

Zhang Miao got excited all of a sudden, and said excitedly, "Say it earlier, I'm good at this matter. My main goal in catching the sea tomorrow is clams, and I'll rake clams too!"

Zhang Liye and Zhao Ling didn't bother to talk to their son, just forget about catching fish and shrimp if you are good at it, and don't say anything about your luck in pumping a puddle.Why, are they good at things like finding clams, and they are all better than old fishermen like them?

Then, is there any reason?
