Rebirth of Fishing Village: Starting from Hua Axiang in Jiehu Village

Chapter 950 It’s better to go home than to go out
Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou finished their meal, drank some water and took a rest.

"Second Grandpa."

"We are going back to Nantou Village now. Are you going with us or something?"

Zhao Dahai shouted loudly to Zhao Shi on the Dahai boat.

Ding Dawen drove the big fishing boat back to Shijiao Village, and he, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou went back to Langtou Village. If Zhao Shi wanted to go back to Langtou Village, he had to get on his speedboat.

Zhao Shi shook his head, pointed at Shi Guangming and went back to Shijiao Village.

"Row!"

"Second Grandpa!"

"Then we should go back now. When we get back to the village, I will go to see my second grandmother and ask him to come to my house and keep my grandmother company."

When Zhao Dahai saw that Zhao Shi was thinking of staying on the fishing boat for a few more days, he decided to go back and see his second grandmother Huang Jintao, who was calling him to go to his home to keep his grandmother Zhong Cuihua company.

Zhao Dahai drove away in a speedboat and disappeared in a short while.

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming saw that it was getting dark and the sea breeze was a little cold, so they simply went back to the cab and waited for Ding Dawen to come in.

"How's it going? Have all the fish been processed?"

Shi Guangming glanced at Ding Dawen.

"Correct!"

"All the live sea bass we just caught were put into the live water tank, and the rest were put into the cold storage."

"The groupers and everything are all arranged, and most of them are alive."

"Zhao Dahai caught a large grouper and a sea bass today. Together they probably weigh nearly 10,000 kilograms."

Ding Dawen took the water cup, drank half a cup of water in big gulps, wiped his mouth, and it was indeed another day full of harvest.

Ding Dawen was not in a hurry to go back immediately. He waited until he finished his meal before driving the big fishing boat slowly towards Shijiao Village.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou returned to Langtou Village, parked the speedboat, packed up and went home.

Zhao Dahai went to the home of his second grandfather Zhao Shi. When he looked at the door, it was dark and no one was there. He called out to his second grandmother Huang Jintao but there was no response. Thinking that she might be at home, he hurried back. As soon as he reached the gate of the yard, he heard the voices of his grandmother Zhong Cuihua and his second grandmother Huang Jintao talking in the yard.

"what!"

"Second Grandma."

"I just went to your house and didn't see anyone, so I guessed it was you, so I took a look here, and it really was you."

Zhao Dahai walked to the faucet in the corner, turned it on and washed his face, hands and feet.

"Second Grandma."

"My second grandfather has been floating on the sea with the big ship all this time. Why don't you just come here and keep my grandma company?"

Zhao Dahai pulled a stool and sat next to his grandmother Zong Cuihua and his second grandmother Huang Jintao. He had been traveling a lot during this period and spent very little time at home. His second grandfather Zhao Shi also followed the Dahai ship and spent a lot of time at sea. His grandmother and his second grandmother Huang Jintao had company when they were together.

"hehe!"

"Your second grandfather is an old man who wishes he could stay on the fishing boat 365 days a year."

"After a lifetime of sailing, I feel very tired every day and want to stay at home and sleep. When I get older and don't have to work anymore, I can't stay at home. I feel uncomfortable if I don't go out to sea for a day. Let him do whatever he wants."

Huang Jintao nodded with a smile. Zhao Shi did go out to sea frequently during this period, but she thought it was a good thing. Going out to sea now was different from going out to sea before. He didn't need to put out a fishing net to catch fish, didn't need to work, and didn't need to be exposed to the wind and sun. He just stayed on the fishing boat, and the place he went to was not far away. Now he was not staying on the small fishing boat in the past but a large fishing boat. Two days ago, she and Zhong Cuihua went to the dock and saw the big sea boat parked not far away. It was very big. I heard that it was more than 30 meters long. It was not hard to stay on such a fishing boat. Zhao Shi had long been accustomed to life at sea. Since he stopped going out to sea to fish, he couldn't stay at home. He had to go to the dock every day. He felt uncomfortable if he didn't get some sun for a day. Now life is much better when he goes out to sea. When people live to this age, it is more important than anything else to live the life they want and to pass the time easily.

"Is this a matter that you really need to worry about? Seeing that you all are running outside, I have to make some delicious food with your second grandmother to kill time."

Zhong Cuihua pointed to the kitchen. She and Huang Jintao had already finished dinner. Zhao Dahai came back at this time, so he must not have eaten anything. They should hurry up to eat and then go to bed and rest.

Zhao Dahai nodded, stood up and walked into the kitchen. He had eaten a little after fishing for the sea bass, but after being busy all day, this little bit of food was just enough to fill his stomach. Now he was hungry again.

Zhao Dahai quickly finished his meal, took a shower, and went back to his room to sleep.

"Yo!"

"It looks like he's really exhausted! The snoring is so loud."

Huang Jintao watched Zhao Dahai walk into the room. In less than a minute, he was snoring very loudly. Needless to say, he must have been very tired. He fell asleep as soon as he lay down on the bed.

"Who doesn't feel the same way when going out to sea? Regardless of whether you can catch fish or not, you will be exhausted."

Zhong Cuihua was very heartbroken, but there was nothing she could do. Zhao Dahai had indeed made a lot of money now, but money is never too much. She had to make more money while she was still young and could still make money. The more money in her pocket, the better.

"correct!"

"Golden peach."

"What are the plans for the two in your family? Are they still working outside or are they just coming back?"

"As for working outside, I have nothing to say. If you come back, there will definitely be work to do. Didn't Ding Xiaoxiang build a building in the town very quickly?"

"I wouldn't pay attention to what other relatives say, but we are different."

"If you want to come back, just talk to Ding Xiaoxiang. You can find a job in town anyway. The money will definitely not be less than working outside."

"We can't just keep floating outside, right? We have to come back, right?"

Zhong Cuihua talked about Huang Jintao and Zhao Shi’s two sons, who have been working outside all year round in recent years and did not even come back during the Chinese New Year last year.

Huang Jintao hesitated for a moment. Zhong Cuihua's words touched her heart. Her two sons had been away from home for years and she, Zhao Shi, especially missed them very much. In addition, they were getting older and missed their grandson very much. If it was a good job, then there was nothing to say. She would have to continue working outside, but her two sons would still be working outside.

"Golden peach."

"There's no need to rush this matter, but you have to discuss it with Zhao Shi later. And I think you have to make the decision first. You can't wait for Zhao Shi."

"You know Zhao Shi's temper. He probably doesn't want to trouble Zhao Dahai, so he is definitely not willing to ask for it, and he may not even agree to it."

"But just like I said, the relationship between our two families is different from that between other relatives. Even if the bones are broken, the flesh is still connected."

"If Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang are incapable of helping, then there is nothing to say, but a new building has been built in the town, so they definitely need people to work on it."

"Some jobs really need to be done by people from your own family." "People from your own family are definitely more trustworthy."

Zhong Cuihua knew Zhao Shi's temper very well, so she couldn't tell him about this matter directly. Even if she did, Zhao Shi would not agree.

"Ugh!"

"If Zhao Shi disagrees with this matter, it will be troublesome. He is the boss no matter what."

Huang Jintao was very excited, but also a little worried. Zhong Cuihua was right. It was very likely that Zhao Shi would not agree to this matter and would not want to trouble Zhao Dahai.

"How can you control him?"

"Just talk to Zhao Shi about this matter. If he agrees, he has to agree. If he doesn't agree, he has to agree."

"What else can he do? Is he going to kick you out of the house?"

"If Zhao Shi is angry, just tell him to go somewhere else and not come home for dinner."

Zhong Cuihua gave Huang Jintao direct advice.

"Humph!"

"If I don't cook for him, he will probably starve to death outside."

Huang Jintao laughed.

"Whee!"

"Isn't that the case? He's already this old, what else can he do? There's no need to be afraid of him. This matter has been settled. I'll talk to Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang about this later, and call them back home when the town's building is completed."

"Tell me what Zhao Shi is angry about. I won't be polite to him."

"A family must stay together. How can we be separated here and there? At our age, how many years do we have left to live? How can we live without seeing our grandson?"

Zhong Cuihua waved her hand and made the decision.

"Row!"

"Sister-in-law!"

"I'll do as you say. When old man Zhao Shi comes home in a few days, I'll talk to him about this. Just like you said, he has to agree or not! I won't bother with him. To be honest, I've missed my grandson so much in the past few years."

Huang Jintao agreed without thinking twice. There are fewer fish, shrimps and crabs in the sea these years. Even Zhao Shi, who has been fishing all his life, can't catch many fish. There is no other way. His two sons can only work outside, and even his grandson is away from home. He doesn't see him for a year. Now he has a chance to come back, and he must come back. The building in Ding Xiaoxiang Town has been completed. No matter what kind of job he can find, he can be a security guard in the building, guarding the gate, etc. It's definitely a good opportunity.

"correct!"

"Sister-in-law!"

"Have a lot of people come to your door recently? I heard that some people have come to you to borrow money."

Huang Jintao remembered this incident.

"How can we miss it?"

"But I won't spoil these people."

"When something happened at home, I would not treat anyone who came to my house to help me unfairly. As for those who did not help me, or even did not come to my house to say a good word, I would not be polite."

Zhong Cuihua waved her hand.

The news that Zhao Dahai had caught a lot of fish and made a lot of money had spread to villages and towns within a radius of hundreds of miles. Many of his maternal relatives or Zhao Dahai's distant relatives had come to his house or called him. After living a lifetime, how could he not know what was going on? As the saying goes, if you are poor in a busy city, no one will ask you, but if you are rich in the mountains, everyone will know you.

Zhong Cuihua's method was very simple. Those who had helped her in the past would definitely not be treated unfairly, and would be rewarded tenfold or even a hundredfold. However, for those who had never been seen back then and now wanted to take advantage of her, she would not be polite at all.

"Correct!"

"Don't spoil these people."

"You have to explain the whole story of these things at home to Ding Xiaoxiang. She is a person with her own ideas and will definitely be able to handle them properly."

Huang Jintao nodded. Zhao Dahai made a lot of money and his life became better and better. Seeing this, other relatives would definitely come to ask for money. This has always happened everywhere since ancient times and it is not surprising at all.

"Ok!"

"You're right. I have to find some time to talk to Ding Xiaogan about these things at home. No matter what, I'm getting older and older, and I'm definitely going to have to ask her to take care of these things in the future. I can't be unclear about it."

Zhong Cuihua thought carefully about Huang Jintao's words. It made a lot of sense. This matter or the relationship between the relatives in the family, especially when Zhao Dahai's parents passed away, all kinds of things, who helped and who did not, all had to be explained clearly. She was old and could not handle these things. In addition, once she really passed away one day, these things must be explained clearly. Zhao Dahai went out to sea to fish all day and was the man of the family. It was not convenient for him to handle such things. All these things had to fall on Ding Xiaoxiang.

"Ah!"

"Sister-in-law."

"It is so important to marry a good wife."

"If the family wants to prosper, this is inevitable."

"Ding Xiaoxiang is a very smart girl. She handles these things in a very reasonable way. The key is that she really makes the right decision, which is a skill that most people don't have."

"Zhao Dahai doesn't need to worry about these things in the house. He can concentrate on going out to sea to fish and make money. This way he can make more money."

Huang Jintao became more and more clear about what kind of person Ding Xiaoxiang was. No matter whether it was a family in the fishing village or any other family, it would be a miracle for them to marry a daughter-in-law like this.

"Yo!"

"Who said it wasn't?"

"Zhao Dahai has finally gotten his reward after all the hardship he has endured."

Zhong Cuihua turned her head and looked at Zhao Dahai's room.

The moon rose higher and higher.

The whole village is very quiet.

Zhong Cuihua and Huang Jintao sat in the yard and talked in low voices until almost eleven o'clock in the evening before they went back to their room to sleep.
