Reborn in 1981: My Life as a Fisherman

After leaving Yang Jianjun's office, Shi Hailong did not go to see Secretary Chen.

Since Yang Jianjun was the one who rented the boat last time, the way to express gratitude should also be initiated by Yang Jianjun.

Shi Hailong understood the ins and outs of this matter.

Shi Hailong was in a good mood, and now he had basically made complete progress.

Next, he just had to wait for the ship to return and focus on making money. Initially, he planned to operate in coastal waters.

There are still hundreds of stones under the ancient banyan tree.

We could take it out and start designing tidal nets, as for the harvest from ground cage nets.

Shi Hailong knew very well that his income would soon be meager.

The villagers, along with the three contracted groups, all rushed to install fish traps.

It won't take ten days or half a month, at most a few days, for the catch to plummet.

Making several hundred yuan a day is almost impossible.

Of course, it's still no problem to go out to sea and find rocky areas; that's one of the advantages of having a boat.

However, the three contracting groups, with dozens of ships, will also fill the nearshore waters.

Most importantly, a large number of cage nets will soon appear in the nearby villages.

There is no way.

However, having lived two lives, Shi Hailong has a very broad mindset and sees things very clearly.

He truly believed, just like the older generation of fishermen, that the ocean was so vast, it didn't belong to anyone, nor to any one person.

When seeking wealth at sea, one must first understand contentment and the art of knowing when to advance and when to retreat.

Otherwise, the ocean will teach us a lesson!

Shi Hailong lit a cigarette and looked up to see Lin Shaowen's father walking towards him.

The butcher, with the same menacing face, exuded a fierce aura.

His eyes were very unfriendly, but Shi Hailong was not afraid and glared back.

When Lin Jia'an saw Shi Hailong glaring at him, he turned his head away. This kid was not to be trifled with; he couldn't be intimidated by him.

Without exchanging a word, the two brushed past each other. Shi Hailong turned his head and glanced back as the butcher entered the brigade headquarters.

I guessed it must be about medical expenses and nutrition costs.

This money definitely needs to be spent, since I promised Secretary Chen.

Only then can we turn a big problem into a small one and a small one into nothing, and we shouldn't even think about sending Lin Shaowen, Yang Guangwu, and others to jail.

It's unlikely. Despite Secretary Chen's seemingly official demeanor, he actually wanted to smooth things over.

He didn't want anyone in the village to go to jail, which would affect his grades and such.

Now it's not like we're doing YD (a form of illegal activity) a few years from now; basically, if you catch someone stealing something, they won't go to jail.

The brigade headquarters intervened and secured his release.

Shi Hailong was helpless about this, but he wasn't afraid. Lin Shaowen and Yang Guangwu were fine.

He didn't dare to cause him any more trouble, and as for Lin Jia'an, that pig butcher, he really didn't take him seriously.

Despite his fierce appearance and muscular face, he's actually a coward.

One can imagine what kind of person could be pinned down and beaten by his son, Lin Shaowen.

Shi Hailong, a reborn individual, knew this person all too well.

However, after that, Lin Jia'an slaughtered pigs and sold meat himself, and he lived a pretty good life.

There's a little wine and meat every day.

From afar, Shi Hailong saw that there were many people standing around the women making fish traps at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative.

Upon closer inspection, he realized that many of them were not from Dayu Village, but he spotted Liu Defu from Xiaoyu Village.

There's also Chen Yaogui's wife, Liu Gendi.

Needless to say, it must have been Liu who went back to Xiaoyu Village and told her about the fish traps. These people were brought here by her to learn how to make fish traps.

Liu Defu was standing next to his aunt Liu Gendi with a smile on his face, but when he turned his head, he saw Shi Hailong.

His smile froze instantly, and the fight at the commune dock came flooding back to him.

The girl he had his eye on turned out to be this bastard's sister, so his original plan was definitely ruined.

Thinking back to the fight where he suffered a great loss, he saw a fierce glint in Shi Hailong and Liu Defu's eyes.

However, considering how this guy had crippled Lin Shaowen and the others, he could only endure it.

But Liu Defu wanted to tolerate it, but Shi Hailong wouldn't let it go. He saw that Liu Defu had seen him.

He even showed a fierce look, immediately throwing away his cigarette butt and running towards Liu Defu.

The crowd, who were chatting and laughing, were immediately surprised when they saw Shi Hailong running towards them.

When Liu Defu saw Shi Hailong's expression, he knew things were going to go wrong, so he immediately turned around and ran away.

He hadn't expected Shi Hailong to be so direct. He was the one who suffered last time, you know. What a damn bastard.

Then, a magical scene unfolded: one ran and the other chased, with Shi Hailong chasing Liu Defu all the way out of the village.

Shi Hailong stopped at the entrance to the mountain road leading to Xiaoyu Village.

"Damn, that bastard ran pretty fast..."

After catching his breath, Shi Hailong turned around and decided not to chase after him since he couldn't catch up.

Originally, I just wanted to scare Liu Defu a little.

Soon, Shi Hailong returned to the square in front of the supply and marketing cooperative, where many women were making ground nets under the sun.

When they saw Shi Hailong, they all smiled and asked if he had caught her yet, and some even asked what grudge the two of them had.

Only Liu Gendi looked at Shi Hailong coldly.

However, Shi Hailong ignored him and went home with a smile.

"This second son of the Shi family will be the tyrant of Lantau Village from now on..."

"Seven-pound girl has also taken a liking to Shi Lao Er, and Old Madam Zheng hasn't said anything, which can be considered as tacit approval."

"Haha, the old lady must have agreed, otherwise where would Qi Jin have gotten the two thousand yuan to lend to Shi Lao Er?"

"I heard that Guangqian and Caizhi also borrowed several thousand yuan; it seems they really are going to buy a boat..."

"I can't believe it, such a huge sum of money, it's incredible..."

"With Shi Lao Er's fish trap nets, he makes several hundred yuan a day. What's there to be afraid of?"

"Yes, a lot of people went to the beach to set up nets today; they'll definitely make a lot of money tomorrow..."

"I've heard that some people are considering pooling their money to buy their own boat..."

The women started chatting as they worked.

When Shi Hailong returned home, his mother and eldest sister were peeling the inner shells of wild tea seeds.

It's tiring to work with wild tea seeds. After the first drying, the outer shell is peeled off, and then they have to be dried again.

Continue drying until the inner shell separates from the kernel, and you can hear a sound when you shake it. Then start peeling off the inner shell.

The process is very complicated and the yield is not high; it's not that there aren't many wild tea seeds in the mountains.

The problem was that too many people were picking them, and the harvest ended in just a few days.

Many people are afraid to go deep into the mountains, which results in low yields.

Fortunately, that's how it is, otherwise I'd be swamped with work; the procedures are just too complicated.

Now, without the machines of later generations, it's all done by hand.

Meanwhile, the father and eldest brother were also busy processing small fish, snails, and shellfish.

No matter how worthless it is, fishermen will still process it properly, dry it, and store it.

Shi Hailong didn't go to help. He picked up the teacup, added hot water, and then took the newspaper and the teacup to the ancient banyan tree.

They were leisurely drinking tea and reading the newspaper.

But not long after, Shi Hailong, who was flipping through the newspaper, stopped.

Little GG stared intently at a missing person notice on the newspaper.

Then Shi Hailong glanced at the newspaper header; it was the Fujian Provincial Daily.

Then I read the missing person notice carefully again.

He then excitedly stood up and called out to his mother, "Mom, my uncle is looking for you and Dad in the newspaper..."

This shout startled everyone in front of the Shi family's gate.

He Caizhi realized what was happening and stood up abruptly. She looked at Shi Hailong, seemingly unable to believe her ears.

"Second brother, you said your eldest uncle placed an ad in the newspaper looking for me..."

Shi Hailong ran to his mother with the newspaper in his hand. At this moment, Shi Guangqian, Shi Haifeng, and Shi Hailan also gathered around.

Everyone showed expressions of excitement and joy.

Shi Guangqian, in particular, was extremely excited. After so many years, there was finally news.

He also misses his parents very much. Back then, the He family and the Shi family left together.

They must be together...

"Mother, look here...this name, He Chongjing, isn't it my eldest uncle's name...?"

And your name and your father's name, it says that my grandparents and their family settled in Huidong.

My maternal grandparents, uncles, and aunts went to Hong Kong…
