Chapter 179
When he took out the money, the two women were stunned. It must be tens of thousands. Aqin took out his own money to build a house?
The two of them did not dare to think that this was what they had earned in one day, and they came back so early today. They both thought that today’s harvest was not good, so they came back early.
“The total amount of white pomfret is 1,589 kilograms. The purchase price was 55 yuan per kilogram. Plus some miscellaneous fish, it was sold for 90,115 yuan. I collected 90,000 yuan and kept it all here.”
Zhao Qin was also in a good mood every time he distributed the money. He patted the money on the table and said to everyone.
“Aqin, you said you earned this in a day?” Xia Rong understood, but still asked in disbelief.
“What white pomfret? Why is it still weighing 1,589 pounds? Didn’t you place the fishing hook?” The old lady was also surprised and happy.
Ahe then told them about today’s strange things, how Huzi interacted with them, and how he led them to find fish schools.
“Sister-in-law, that tiger is very smart. When he turned around the boat for the first time and saw that we didn’t follow him, he turned around again and circled around again. My brother reacted, so we drove the boat and followed.
Seven tigers surrounded the school of fish, preventing the fish from escaping, as if they were waiting for us to catch them. Fortunately, my brother thought about buying a hand-thrown net early this morning, otherwise the three of us would have hit the wall regretfully.
It’s a pity that the tiger only eats the fish thrown by my brother, not mine. “At the last sentence, Ah He showed a trace of annoyance, obviously still worried about this.
“Aren’t you telling me a story to fool me?” The old lady looked like you were teasing me.
Xia Rong clapped his hands and said, “Ah Qin is so lucky, even the whales in the sea are helping you.”
“Sister-in-law, strictly speaking, killer whales are not whales. They are large dolphins.” After Zhao Qin explained, he felt that this was a bit redundant.
“Let’s divide the money first. Today’s bait is 45 yuan. My brother’s diesel is 200 yuan. Last time I spent 1,100 yuan to repair the machine. After removing these 20%, it is 17,730 yuan.”
Zhao Qin said and began to count the money.
After ordering, Zhao Qin left 3,000 yuan in his pocket and asked his sister-in-law to collect the rest for him. He thought that if he went to the city another day, he would have to buy a safe for each of the three families.
It’s impossible to pay the bills every night and deposit them into the bank in time. It’s always safer to have a safe.
“Oh, this day has been like a dream. Tomorrow happens to be the official day. I am going to pay homage to Mazu and bless you three with safety and good luck.” The old lady said with a smile.
“Old lady, let’s go together tomorrow morning.” Xia Rong also planned to say goodbye.
Zhao Qin stood up, took the tricycle key and was about to go out.
“Where are you going again?” Zhao Ping asked puzzledly.
“Buy one or two more baskets of hooks, wasn’t it agreed upon in advance?”
“If you’re tired, I’ll go. I finished my work earlier and should go shopping when I get back.”
Zhao Qin ignored his elder brother, got on the tricycle and left. Now the system’s merit points, due to the income from white pomfret and longline fishing, had risen to more than 1,100 points. He planned to buy one basket from the system and another from the town. basket,
Then compare it and see how much income you can get if you don’t buy it through the system.
After searching around the town, he called Chen Xue and asked. There was no one selling safes in the town, so he had to give up and go to the county or city another day.
He returned home again with two baskets of hooks, “Brother, I have divided the materials for the two baskets of hooks. Don’t mess it up then.”
After that, he took out another 1,500 yuan and walked to the kitchen, put it on the stove and said to his sister-in-law: “The food expenses in August, and we are going to sea. You are also very busy from early to late, so you can calculate the salary of 1,000 yuan a month.”
“Whatever salary I want, collect it quickly.”
Zhao Qin turned around and was about to run away, but Xia Rong chased him out and insisted on returning the money to him, “I only charge 200 yuan for food, you can pretend to be the rest.”
“Sister-in-law, you get up early every morning to help my brother pack things, and prepare food and drinks for us on the boat in advance. If you think one thousand yuan is too little, I will add more.”
Zhao Ping also understood and said hesitantly: “Aqin, even if you have to pay your sister-in-law a salary, it will be paid out of the public account first. You can’t pay it alone.”
“This will be the case for this month, and it will be taken out of the public account next month. Don’t make it a joke for outsiders to see.”
What Zhao Qin is afraid of is that he is not worried about the shortage but the inequality. His sister-in-law is very busy, and what the three of them eat at noon every day is all from the eldest brother’s house. It is inevitable that he will feel uncomfortable after a long time.
It’s appropriate to mention 500 for food expenses, and it’s also appropriate to include a little salary.
“Arong, just pretend.” Zhao Ping opened his mouth and made a decision. He knew that this little money was nothing to his brother. Besides, this brother had a good idea. When it came to making a decision, it was useless to say no.
Xia Rong then sheepishly stuffed the money into his pocket.
“Aqin, then you go back firstTake a shower and change clothes, dinner will have to wait a while. ”
Zhao Qin agreed and was about to go out, but as soon as he reached the door, he saw Lao Zhang with a silly smile on his face, holding two black plastic bags in his hands.
“Lao Zhang, where are you going?”
“Looking for you, I just heard that you came back from the sea today, so I came here.”
Zhao Qin smiled and said, “Did the village committee pay you the money you owe?”
“It was paid until June of this year. Lao Lin also said that it will be paid every six months in the future. With this money back, I can finally sleep well.”
After inviting people into the hall, Zhao Ping heard someone coming in the backyard and hurried out to greet them, smoking cigarettes and pouring water.
“Don’t bother, I’ll leave in a moment. ”
Lao Zhang put two black plastic bags on the table, laughing.
Zhao Qin opened the bags, one bag contained two Tashan cigarettes, and the other bag contained freshly baked stewed food, still hot.
“Brother, ask my sister-in-law to steam the hairtail fish, and you don’t need to prepare other dishes.”
Zhao Qin collected these stewed food without any pressure, and opened the bag of cigarettes.
“When I bought cigarettes, I wanted to buy a good one, but Lao Zhu said that you should smoke Tashan cigarettes, so he suggested that I buy two Tashan cigarettes.”
Zhao Qin took out one and put it aside, and pushed the other one with the bag to Lao Zhang, “I’ll just keep one, I can’t help much.”
“What’s the matter? If it weren’t for you, I guess they would still be dragging it until next year. I can’t get used to this cigarette, so don’t be polite, or do you think the cigarette is bad?”
Seeing that Lao Zhang was about to leave, Zhao Qin pulled him back.
“Don’t worry, I’ll keep all the cigarettes, and I have something to tell you.”
“What’s the matter? ”
“Lao Zhang, you are a kind person. I can’t say how good you are, but at least you won’t take the initiative to cheat others. In fact, I still have high hopes for you.”
Lao Zhang was confused by what he said. What does this kid mean? What is he trying to do to him?
“Ah Qin, I have lived my life with a sense of responsibility. I am not as smart as you. If you have something to say, just say it directly.”
Zhao Qin smiled calmly, “Just make some preparations.”
“No, what should I prepare?” Lao Zhang was a little anxious.
“It’s hard to say. Things may not work out. Okay, if you have something to do, go back first. I won’t keep you for dinner.”
Lao Zhang was very depressed. This kid didn’t make his words clear, which made him feel awkward.
As soon as Lao Zhang left, Zhao Ping asked, “What do you want Lao Zhang to prepare?”
“Actually, Lao Zhang is a good person. It’s good to be a deputy director of the village. ”
Zhao Ping opened his mouth and was speechless for a long time. Who will be the village leader? When will you, a kid, make the decision?
