Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 177 Introducing a Wife to the Silly Boy

Qin Dahe slept until two o'clock in the afternoon. He opened his eyes in a daze and found that the little girl was sleeping in his arms.

The afternoon sun slanted in from the balcony, and the orange speakers painted the whole room orange.

The little girl was sleeping particularly soundly at this time. The spring breeze passed through the attic, bringing a hint of warmth, making people feel very comfortable.

He gently held the girl in his arms, and looked at her slightly chubby face with joy.

The girl had some morning sickness during pregnancy and was easily hungry, which was quite painful.

But every time he came home after work, the first thing she would do was get him water to wash his face, and she would also bring him water to wash his feet in the evening.

Unless there were some things Yanyan couldn't do, she never asked him to do anything trivial in life.

Thinking about my marriage in my previous life, it really is incomparable.

He had originally thought that Yanyan's temper would be worse after marriage, and he was mentally prepared.

Who knew that the little girl would become more and more spoiled by his family and become even better.

He pecked her face gently, carefully moved away, and was about to get up.

Erhu and the others should be awake by now. They have divided the money and still have work to do.

There was another motorcycle parked in the yard. I didn't know who it belonged to, but it was probably another order for a modified three-wheeled motorcycle.

As Grandpa Huang and my second uncle's motorcycle tricycles run on the county road every day, some people will definitely be envious and try to get motorcycles to modify them.

When he got to the yard, he brushed his teeth and washed his face first.

"Mom, whose motorcycle is this?"

"Xu Xiangqian's family from Xu Village is the one who got into college."

She went back into the room and took out a stack of money.

The cost of modifying the large tricycle is 4,300 yuan, and the cost of modifying the motorcycle tricycle is 800 yuan, totaling 5,100 yuan.

Qin Dahe took them, counted them, and left seven for his mother.

"Use it to buy some delicious food to replenish your body, and don't say that your son is not filial to you."

"It's still more reliable to raise a son." Qin's mother was not polite either. There was nothing she couldn't take from the filial gift given by her own son.

The seven hundred yuan is the commission from his two cars, and the rest can be given to Erhu and the others.

He didn't plan to do the welding on the motorcycle tricycle by himself. Since there was a pregnant woman at home, it would be better for him not to do welding. Anyway, he was not short of money.

However, he has to pay two hundred for the car, because he has to do a lot of things himself, and Erhu and the others are lucky to get two hundred for the labor fee.

I got on the motorcycle and it started to work with one kick. It was pretty good and the bike looked only five or six years old.

I guess Xu Xiangqian's family is not short of money now, so it makes sense for him to get a not-too-old tricycle and modify it.

Ride the bike directly to Hanwaer's house, pick him up and go find Erhu and the others.

"Erhu, come to Tiedan's house." He shouted as he passed by Erhu's house. The green dog raised its head slightly and looked at him, wagged its tail perfunctorily and continued to lie down. There was no need to activate the security system for an acquaintance.

"Coming soon." Erhu was delighted when he heard this. The money was being divided.

When they arrived at Tiedan's house, Tiedan's father patted him on the shoulder with a smile and went into the house.

As for the affairs of these four young people, their family members should avoid getting involved if possible.

"Erhu, this money is for the two of you. 600 of it is for the motorcycle modification. Is it okay for me to take ?"

"You must take 200, otherwise it will take forever for Tiedan and I to finish the job." Erhu said with a wry smile.

He still had some self-awareness. For a big job like modifying a motorcycle tricycle, Qin Dahe had to be present to do a lot of the work, so they just helped.

"The remaining money also includes the money my dad earned from selling blackfish the day before yesterday. Hehe, it's over ten thousand."

Several people became excited, this was the big boss.

In two days, I sold fish three times. Apart from the first sale, the money from the other two sales has not yet been divided.

Since he had to split the money into two parts, all other expenses were not taken into account and were borne directly by him.

He took out the receipts for two fish sales, with the prices clearly shown on them, and asked them to look at them.

"A total of thirteen thousand six, and a few dollars in change." He began to count the money.

"Each of us gets 2500 yuan, which leaves us with a little over a hundred yuan for a nice dinner tonight. One fish alone is not enough."

"Yeah, let's have a good drink tonight. I slept so hard today that my head is all foggy and my wrist is still swollen."

Only young people like them can endure fishing on bamboos over five meters long, and they haven't recovered yet.

"Buy some braised beef, some pig ears, and fifteen spicy steamed buns." As he said that, he handed over a hundred yuan to Erhu.

"what?"

"Ride your bike to town to buy vegetables. I'm taking the silly kid to get some fish to cook now. I'm starving." He said angrily.

There are ready-made motorcycles, so it’s very quick to go back and forth.

"Oh." Erhu took the remaining money, rode his motorcycle home first, and gave the two thousand five hundred to Amei.

Everyone in the family is very happy because we have distributed so much money these days.

"Let's go back and get the fish and start cooking. We'll drink at three o'clock today."

"So early?"

"Why not drink it early in the morning? Why do you have to keep drinking it until midnight?"

Tiedan thought that he had nothing to do at home, so he gave the money to his father and set off with him.

The catfish raised in the fish pond was very lively. It jumped a little when it was pulled out and almost ran away.

He killed the fish right here at his house and then cleaned it up by the pond.

After removing the internal organs, I found that there were still a lot of seeds inside. I chopped it into large pieces and washed it with clean water.

The meat of the catfish is slightly red, extremely tender and smooth, especially the belly, which is very fat.

"Mom, do you have any screw peppers?" Screw peppers are spicy and fresh, and they are a perfect match when grilling fish.

"How much do you want? I'll go to the fields and pick some for you."

"Brother, I have it. It's right next to me." The silly kid said.

"Okay, let's go." He turned around and said to his mother, "Mom, I won't be back for dinner tonight."

"Go ahead, I'm home."

After waking up from his morning nap, Qin's father started to busy himself with work in the fields. He was about to start beating the cotton embryos and had to prepare fertile soil in advance.

So there are only her and Yanyan at home.

When he got to Hanwaer's side, he started picking vegetables from the vegetable garden.

The youngsters’ cooking skills weren’t very good, and they didn’t know how to fry fish, but as long as it wasn’t salty, the fish would taste good no matter how it was cooked.

Now that the weather was not cold, they set up a stove in the front yard and started to boil water, dumped the fish in, and even neglected to blanch them.

Throw in a handful of garlic, ginger slices, and ten washed screw peppers, then pour in a bottle of beer and a large spoonful of lard.

The silly kid started adding salt and soy sauce, adding three spoonfuls of MSG and salt each.

It’s such a big pot, so the flavor might not be enough, and you’ll have to add more after you’ve tasted it.

After a while, Erhu came on his bike and brought in beef and other things.

"It smells so good, haha." I smelled the fragrance of fish as soon as I came in.

"It'll be a while. Let's have a cigarette break first."

A few of them didn't care about anything and just sat on the doorstep and started smoking and chatting.

"Dahe, this loach nest can be used. Let's go to the river." The three of them looked at him.

This loach nest incident has completely aroused their thoughts. Earning several thousand yuan a day is so scary.

"Damn, we can't do it in the river." He shook his head. "Scar said the territories in the river are divided up, and if we cross the line we might get caught." He had also been planning to go to the river to find loach nests, and he'd mentioned this to us over drinks last year.

However, after Scar told him about the distribution of power among the fishermen in the river, he had no choice but to give up.

"What are you afraid of? There are so many of us."

"Haha, they have trolls, so having more people is useless."

Stealing someone's wealth is like killing their parents. Not to mention using a knife, even using a gun is not surprising.

It's actually similar in their town. Their key source of income has been cut off, so it's not surprising that they would take out a shotgun to kill people.

Although a wave of firearms have been confiscated from various households, the private reserves are still there, and even after twenty years they have not been completely confiscated.

"So how do we catch fish next?"

Taking a deep puff of his cigarette, he said leisurely, "Just wait until the water temperature stabilizes."

"Some people can catch big fish now, especially when it rains lightly during the Qingming Festival. Uncle Liu caught three big black carp in the big bay." Tiedan said enviously.

The silly kid nodded. He was most concerned about this information. It was almost time to catch big fish.

"Haha, we go fishing to make money." He knocked off the ash from his cigarette and continued, "Even though we can catch fish now, it's still hard to catch fish safely."

Special weather conditions do have a chance to increase fish mouth explosion protection, but it is more of an air force.

When a fish's living environment changes, it is likely to have some stress response, and it is common for it to not open its mouth.

"Okay, let's go eat some meat. Let's have a good meal today." He stomped out the cigarette butt and strode towards the table.

The belly of the catfish is the most delicious. When Qin Dahe killed the fish, he specially cut it into four large pieces, and each person got one piece.

"It's so fat, it's greasy when I take a sip."

"Haha, the price is high for a reason."

"Delicious." The silly kid liked the fish belly as soon as he took a bite. It was fat and fragrant.

We clinked glasses of wine and drank it all in one gulp. It was so relaxing to drink beer and eat food.

Thinking about how he had a drinking contest with a group of old men in his previous life just for a few taels of silver, he felt that it was not worth it.

At that time, there were a lot of delicious food on the table. We tried everything except the three fresh delicacies of the Yangtze River.

But most of it is wasted. I vomit several times every time I drink, and I can't even taste the wine if I drink too much.

After his rebirth, his favorite thing to do is drink with his brothers.

The feeling of drinking beer, bragging freely and eating meat is the real blessing in life.

"One more step."

"Haha, I made a lot of money."

"Dry."

"drink."

After a few rounds, everyone chatted more happily.

Halfway through drinking, Qin Dahe suddenly spoke:
"Kid, clean up the house when you get back. I've already told my mom to introduce you to a girl."

"Ah? No, no, no, no. Money?" The kid started stuttering again due to nervousness.

"If you don't have money, I have some. I'll give it to you for your marriage first. It's so hard to live alone." He said with disgust.

If it weren't for his elder brother coming to say a few words every now and then, this place would have become a doghouse.

"It's still early!"

Seeing the kid's bewildered look, he smiled and raised his glass.

"We brothers don't need to talk about empty talk, let's drink."

"it is good."

After two glasses of wine, a smile appeared on the child's face.

"It's time to find him a wife. It's not good for him to live alone." Erhu said with a smile.

Only after getting married did I realize the benefits of having a wife. No matter how late you go home, there will always be someone to serve you.

Even though Amei was a little fierce, she was still good to him. Even when she was pregnant, she still took care of the housework and didn't let him worry.

This is what rural wives are like nowadays. They don’t think they are superior to others just because they give birth to children. They work diligently to manage the household and do their duties well.

Although Yanyan is a college student, she is the same as ordinary rural women except that she becomes a little greedy after pregnancy.

The fish roe and fish puff of the catfish are really delicious, especially the fish puff. The bite and aroma in his mouth made him drink another beer.

"Damn, I was fooled countless times when I was a kid. Eating fish roe will make you stupid. It's such a delicious thing."

"That's right, fish roe is really delicious."

The others also nodded. They didn't know what was wrong with those people. They had been lying to children since they were young, saying that eating fish roe would make them stupid.

"There's also things like setting fire and wetting the bed, and riding a dog and having your crotch ripped. They're all lies." Erhu said with a laugh.

"Have you ever ridden a bull?"

"That's not the case, but I rode its father several times when I was a kid, and I didn't see any rips on my crotch."

As for setting fire and wetting the bed, it must be that the elders were bluffing. Who knows how many reed marshes the four of them burned when they were young.

Every year when the rapeseed is harvested, the remaining rapeseed stalks are burned, which is a spectacular sight.

Today's dishes are extremely rich, including braised beef and pig ears, as well as some vegetables picked from the child's vegetable garden.

The four of them even drank a lot of beer while eating, and they didn't stop drinking until six o'clock.

After two boxes of beer, no one was completely drunk, but a little tipsy was just right.

We sat together in the yard and fantasized about making a lot of money and catching big fish in the future.

"Let me tell you, I spent over three thousand just on those lights and batteries. I'm going to do something big this summer."

"Yeah, let's do some big work and make some more money."

"Then what about our daytime welding? It'll definitely be late for night fishing."

"Haha, you really think there are orders every day? There are only so many cars in the countryside. Haven't you noticed that no one locks the car doors now?"

"Isn't it hot?"

Qin Dahe shook his head, tilted his head, lit a Sheng Tang cigarette, and took a deep breath.

"Those tricycle factories, maybe they know we're making money, they're welding the doors on the tricycles before they leave the factory."

"Damn, it's a piece of shit."

"Haha, they probably want customers to pay more, after all, the price of the tricycle has increased by several thousand."

"The price of iron has gone up. The iron felt we fished out last time was worth hundreds of dollars."

It’s already seven o’clock, and this meal took quite a while.

"Pack up and go home."

The four of them worked together to clean up the yard and then left.

It’s already this late, wouldn’t it be nice to go home and hug your wife?

Walking on the road at night, feeling the wind blowing, is very comfortable.

The three of them returned to the village arm in arm, and Qin Dahe waved his hand and went home.

When they arrived at the yard, Yanyan immediately came out of the new house to get him some water.

She had just finished dinner and had been reading in the main room, waiting for her brother to come back.
