Great changes in the countryside

Chapter 138 The water in the city is too deep
Chen Fuming told Chen Yang that it was his father, Chen Yaoping, who disagreed with him going to the engineering team and chemical plant.

"Brother Yang, my dad has done the math. Working in a chemical plant, the salary is only 18 yuan a month, and only [-] cents a day. It's not worth it."

Chen Yang nodded, admiring Chen Fuming's father in his heart.

What kind of chemical factory, but hand-made soap, dozens of old women, the soap made is not fragrant, and the sales department of the supply and marketing cooperative is not willing to sell it.

"On the engineering team, the salary is 30 yuan per month, and they still have food and housing. But my dad said it was not safe. In the past three years, two commune engineering teams died and three were disabled. So my dad said, I would rather Drink porridge at home, and don’t go to the engineering team to eat steamed buns.”

"Fuzi, your dad is still very thoughtful, you're right to listen to him."

Chen Fuming said, "In addition to raising pigs, my family now grows vegetables. My dad is an expert, so he is very handy. But I always feel that it is better to start other side jobs to make money faster, and it is not as easy as doing side jobs."

"But, Fuzi, do a good job at home by yourself."

Chen Fuming asked, "What about you? Brother Yang, tell me about you, what are you going to do?"

Chen Yang pointed to the Mucheng River not far away.

"I, I plan to go back to my old business and go fishing in the river."

Chen Yang is not just talking.

Two days later, after finishing the farm work, Chen Yang, his grandfather and second brother dragged the small fishing boat out of the river.

Like a house, a boat will break if it is not used for a long time.

Small fishing boats have many holes that need to be patched.

This is the job of grandpa and second brother.

It took two days to repair the boat, three days to dry the boat, and on the sixth day, the repaired small fishing boat was launched smoothly.

Chen Yang really returned to the small fishing boat.

At six o'clock in the morning, as soon as the small fishing boat reached the head bay of the seven river bends, I saw that someone had already boarded the boat first.

Seeing the man's back clearly, Chen Yang laughed out loud.

That person was Chen Yang's old classmate and good friend Ye Zhengfang.

Ye Zhengfang turned around, saw Chen Yang, put down his fishing net and laughed too.

The two small fishing boats were joined together, and two people sat cross-legged on the bow.

Chen Yang took two bottles of liquor and two Pegasus brand cigarettes, and handed them to Ye Zhengfang's small fishing boat.

"Yezi, thank you, thank you for helping me guard these seven river bends."

"Haha, that's your own crow's mouth, saying that you want to come back to fish. Brother Yang, you were hit by yourself."

It's true, when he went to the county to hold "Repeat School", Chen Yang told Ye Zhengfang that maybe he would come back to fish.

A prophecy.

"Hey, Brother Yang, I heard that you did a good job, why did you get kicked back?"

"The water in the city is too deep. Damn it, it's deeper than the water in Qiwan."

Ye Zhengfang smiled and said, "Brother Yang, if you can't stay, I won't dare to go. If I go, they will sell me, and I will count the money for them."

"Let's not talk about bad luck. Ye Zi, how is the market going?"

Ye Zhengfang sighed softly, "In general, there are fewer fish than before, and more people are fishing than before. The price hasn't changed much, but more people are eating fish."

Chen Yang smiled, "That's pretty well summed up. Ye Zi, according to what you're saying, we're still very capable in this line of work."

"Anyway, if you don't get enough to eat and don't starve to death, work hard. The rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar at home are still enough."

After finishing speaking, Ye Zhengfang got up, shook the small fishing boat and left.

"Leaf, thank you."

"Thank you for the wine and cigarettes, too."

Chen Yang rolled the boat to the bend of Touwan, took the fishing net and was about to lower it.

Suddenly, someone came running along the river bank.

Chen Yang took a closer look and saw that it was Cai Genfu from the village.

"Jan, help me. Quick, get the boat over here."
