Chapter 258
In the evening, Lao Zhang was the first to arrive. He brought braised vegetables that Zhao Qin had ordered before.
Then Lao Xing and the others arrived one after another. After sitting down, they had a lively chat. Peng Laoliu was a little embarrassed when he came with the wine, “Aqin, you accompanied me to the hospital in the morning. I didn’t hear about it until I came back in the afternoon.”
“Why are you so polite? Are you okay, old man? Let me take a look when you have time.”
“It’s okay for now. Alas… I won’t talk about that today.”
Zhao Ping saw that there was still a while to eat, so he took the time to go to the pier again. When he came back, he smiled happily and said, “The wind has calmed down. I will definitely be able to go to sea tomorrow.”
“Okay, the net will be released tomorrow on the first day. The three of us will be early and leave at four o’clock.”
Zhao Qin set the tone, not because he was afraid that everyone would get up late, but because he was afraid that his elder brother would have another seizure, so he would start tossing him at twelve o’clock.
“Aqin, you gave Lao Zhu and Lao Liu some advice, why don’t you take us to play together?” Lao Luo was a little unhappy.
Everyone here felt that he was the only outsider. Lao Xing helped Aqin watch the construction site, and Lao Liu was now taking care of Comrade Lao Zhao.
Lao Zhu and Peng Laoliu are about to start a business partnership with A Qin. Lao Zhang is now a village cadre. There have been rumors in the village that this village cadre is run by A Qin.
“Uncle Luo, your two sons are more capable than the other. I don’t dare to give you blind advice.”
“Alas, I’m just a fool, but even if I can do it, I won’t be able to serve people every day. I’ll be controlled by others and live a life based on their faces. I thought it would be better to call me back and get a boat to make a living at sea.”
“Today’s young people are all running away, and it’s hard to find a job in the sea. Unless you are as lucky as Aqin, you might as well stay outside.” Lao Zhang said with a smile.
“We won’t talk about this today. If Uncle Luo has any ideas, let’s talk privately some other time. Let’s start drinking. No one is allowed to hold back.”
Seeing that the dishes were almost ready, Zhao Qin started to drink wine and started pouring it. Ah He also picked up a bottle and started pouring it in a circle.
“Daguo, let’s go alone. I heard that I don’t plan to leave this time, so I’ll enjoy the happiness at home.” Lao Luo is a neighbor. He is about the same age as Zhao Anguo. They can be regarded as friends who wear crotchless pants and play with mud together.
“We’re all sitting down. Are you sarcastic that I can’t stand today? Let’s make a rule. Anyone who drinks standing up will not be counted.”
“That’s right, lift your butt and drink before you come again.”
The atmosphere reached a climax from the beginning. Everyone was changing glasses, and there was nothing uncomfortable here. The main reason was that Zhao Qin was at the table. If he were not there, there would be two or three people among them who were not familiar with Zhao Anguo.
“Aqin, you’ve built a big house and bought a car. My dear, the whole village has been watching you for the past two months. When will you bring us a younger brother and sister?
You can’t imitate Lao Xing and Lao Liu in this regard and become a household with five guarantees. The pressure on Lao Zhang will be great again. “Lao Zhu’s words immediately made everyone laugh.
“It’s coming soon. Aqin will get engaged by the end of the year. Let’s all come over and have some fun.” What Zhao Anguo likes most is excitement. Of course, it would be better if he could support him more.
This table is so nice now. Not only is it lively, but everyone is also respectful to Zhao Qin for his sake.
“Hey, Ah Qin, you’ve done a good job keeping the secret. We don’t even know which family’s daughter has such a discerning eye?” Lao Zhu said with a smile.
“Lao Zhu, you are the only one at the table who I like to listen to. Let’s take one of the two brothers.”
Everyone laughed again.
The meal did not last long, knowing that Zhao Qin would get up early to go to sea tomorrow. Of course, although they left early, everyone was quite happy.
As usual, Zhao Qin picked out some of the leftovers, packed two portions, and gave one portion each to Lao Xing and Lao Liu. He also stuffed each of them with a bottle of wine. When he handed it to them, he also told them to drink less and drink less in the future. There are big things to do.
Hearing the end of his words, both of them grinned.
In the evening, Zhao Qin pushed me back to the old house.
“How long will the construction of your new house take?”
“According to Tu Qun’s construction period, it is estimated that the project will not be completed until August or September next year at the earliest, and it is estimated that the project will not be available for occupancy until the year after that.”
Zhao Anguo sighed, “Then we can’t get married next year, only the year after.”
“Don’t be in a hurry, Dad. I’m not an old bachelor. I won’t be 24 years old the year after tomorrow.”
“Well, wait until that girl from the Chen family goes on winter vacation and bring her over to meet her. I still have some impression of Old Chen’s son, but I have no impression of his daughter at all.”
“Haha, then you should have your red envelope ready.”
“I want you to teach me.”
When he was boiling water for me, he also thought that he must install the water heater first. If that didn’t work, he would build a new bathroom with aluminum-plastic panels nearby, otherwise he would suffer too much.
“Isn’t there a bed in the east room?” Zhao Anguo muttered when he saw him carrying the bamboo bed again.
“I’ll clean it up in two days. I have a lot of clutter on the bed.”
I have to pack it out, the weather is getting colder, and sleeping on a bamboo bed all the time is not an option.
drinkHe drank some wine, and now there is nothing to worry about. He fell down and snored slightly.
Although Zhao Anguo couldn’t sleep, he knew that his son would go to the sea early tomorrow morning, so he didn’t speak again. He opened his eyes and looked out the window, wondering what he was thinking.
After a while, he secretly took out his mobile phone and opened the text message keypad, “My son doesn’t want that piece of land. If you don’t have land, you can continue to look for it there. Don’t be too stubborn. If you really can’t find it, forget it. ‘
…
At 3:30, when Zhao Qin got up, the sky was full of stars. It was great. In his previous life, no matter how good the weather was in the city, he couldn’t see such a clear starry night at night.
It seems that today is a good day!
He folded the bed quietly and started to wash up. When he was about to leave, Zhao Anguo said, “Water the net before you cast it, so it won’t get tangled.”
“I know, Dad. Do you want me to help you get up and go to the toilet?”
“Go ahead. Wait until Lao Liu comes.”
Zhao Qin went out to his eldest brother’s house. There were a lot of things today. The tricycle made three trips to transport all the things to the dock.
After preparing the bait and ice, the three of them were actually a little excited to go out to sea after eight days.
“Ah Qin, sort out the order.”
“Brother, let’s follow the old rules. Cast the mangrove traps first, otherwise it will be too tiring to run back and forth.”
“Where should we put the sticky net? We can’t put it together with the longline fishing.”
Zhao Qin was thinking, Ah He said: “Brother, ours is a bottom net, which is suitable for placing next to the lobster island. Maybe we can catch a lobster and burst the net.”
Both brothers laughed. Lobster burst the net, thinking that they raised it themselves.
“That place is good, but we don’t know the situation on the seabed. If there are too many rocks, it will be too time-consuming to net.” Zhao Ping is a steady person, so in his opinion, it is better to put it next to the Shrimp Island.
The seabed there is flat and all sand.
“Brother, it may be time-consuming to net there, but the harvest should be good. Why don’t we try it there.”
Two to one, Zhao Ping did not insist any more, and nodded to agree.
According to the previous rhythm, when we arrived at the mangrove area, the bait traps were almost all ready. This time, Ah He was the one driving the boat, so we had to train him.
Zhao Ping was responsible for putting the nets, and Zhao Qin placed the bait traps. After a while, all the traps were put out, and then we moved to another area. This time, we first arrived at Lobster Island.
The sticky net was placed along the small island, and half a circle was formed. As for the remaining traps, they could only be placed in the direction of Shrimp Island.
…
PS: The big melon in the village will explode tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Are you ready, my friends?
Haha, please support me, thank you Shanfeng.
