Chapter 68: Got a Deadly Big Guy
Chapter 68: Got a Deadly Big Guy
In Li Changle's previous life, he built a new house with the help of his three brothers, elder sister, uncles, aunt, and uncle.
"You have no future. Young people should strive for success when they should. Look at the family that raises blue crabs in Shaji Village. They had to ask a few aunts to help them with the land to get the money for the contract. But they have only been working for two years and have made a fortune."
"I heard from them that the man's uncle works in aquaculture at the Fisheries Bureau. He has aquaculture technology and money. I don't have money, and my uncle can't do aquaculture, he can only kill pigs. Forget it!"
He was also reminding the old fox for the sake of his second uncle and A Qing. Whether he listened or not was his business.
"Young people are less courageous than mice."
Accountant Chen rolled his eyes at him. "He has the skills, so we don't? When it comes to raising fish and crabs, we old fishermen have more experience than those who sit in the office and talk about it on paper!"
"Yes, yes, they are not as good as us in catching fish!"
"..." Accountant Chen glared at him, "You are useless!"
I also want to be successful, but where will the capital come from?" Li Changle looked at him with a smile, "Or do you think I'm too poor and want to lend me money to give it a try?"
"You little bastard!" Accountant Chen scolded with a smile, "How can I, an old man, lend you the money?"
"That's all I can do. If you can lend me three or five hundred, I'll take the risk this time." Li Changle shrugged. "I don't have money or skills, so I'd better just be honest and earn some money from Xiaohai."
Accountant Chen had no idea what he meant by that. After listening to what he said, he felt that it was a bit presumptuous of him to let a fool who had just repented for a few days engage in breeding.
"Ah Le, work hard and stop fooling around with those people, otherwise, you will regret it one day!"
"Thank you, Uncle Dong." Li Changle thought for a moment, looked at him and said seriously, "I think breeding requires skills, and you can't just rely on experience or do it as you wish.
You always think that what I say is right, so learn the techniques well before you start. If you think it is wrong, just ignore me!"
Accountant Chen was surprised for a moment, then smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, boy. Just based on what you said, I can tell that you have really changed."
"People always change!" Li Changle waved at him and said, "Let's go."
Accountant Chen smiled and nodded. He watched him walk away before going back to sit on the recliner. Thinking about what Li Changle said, he felt that there was some truth to it.
His wife Lin Fuzhen came out from the inner room and said, "Why are you talking so much to a fool? Ah Ping said he went to her house every day to borrow a bicycle, and Ah Qing even said she showed her displeasure to Teacher Zhou."
Accountant Chen glanced at her and said, "Ah Qing is right. Why doesn't she think about this? If Ah Chan didn't have Teacher Zhou to help him, would his grades be so good?
Bicycles aren't made of tofu, and people don't stop returning them after borrowing them. Huang Baiwan even wanted to borrow an umbrella! Does she think she will be better than others forever?
I'm telling you, go tell Ah Ping to stop talking to those gossipy old women in the village, or you'll get ripped off sooner or later!"
Seeing that he was angry, Lin Fuzhen said hurriedly, "I understand. I will tell Ah Ping."
Accountant Chen thought of what Li Changle said, and stood up and said, "You look after the store. I'm going to go out for a while."
"Oh!" Lin Fuzhen breathed a sigh of relief and quickly agreed.
……
Over there, Li Changle walked to the alley. A few old ladies standing there hanging the net ropes looked at the bucket he was carrying and said, "Ah Le, the fish you sold is back!"
"Yeah!" Li Changle responded without pause and walked towards the alley outside his house.
"Did you see the big pig's trotters and the meat in his bucket?"
"I saw it. I heard that they went to the sea to fish these days, and they brought Chen Jia's Awei with them."
"One is stupid and the other is confused. It's appropriate for the two of them to be confused together."
"A dog's stomach can't hold two ounces of sesame oil. How can you sleep without wasting it?"
Li Changle didn't hear their discussion. Even if she did, she was too lazy to argue with a bunch of half-buried old ladies.
"Brother, Dad is back!" The youngest son in the alley shouted happily as he watched his brother making paper shells.
"You guys play, my dad is back." Li Xiaohai picked up his paper shell, and the two brothers ran towards him.
"Where's my mother?"
"My mother went to buy fishing rope."
Li Changle took the hand of his youngest son, who was reaching out to grab him, and said to his eldest son, "Go play with them. It's okay to go home."
"We've been playing for a while." Li Xiaohai said, "Dad, Uncle Wei said Grandpa will be back in the afternoon, is that true?"
"Really? Dad bought some big pig's trotters and asked your mom to stew them for grandpa to nourish him." Li Changle just remembered it now. He only remembered about the tricycle and even forgot about buying rice cakes.
"Wow!" Li Xiaozhou exclaimed in surprise, "The big pig's trotters are delicious, and the stewed vermicelli is also delicious!"
"Dad bought two big ones, you guys will have some to eat too."
Li Xiaozhou jumped up and down and said, "I want to eat the toe piece."
"Okay, you and your brother can have one."
"Dad, Uncle Awei brought back so many cans that he piled them up on his body that you couldn't even see him." Li Xiaohai ran forward and opened the door. "Wait for Mom to buy some wire and come back. I'll help tie it up."
"My dear son, I'll reward you with some pork ribs!" Li Changle said with a smile as he mentioned the pork ribs he bought at Tuxia Bridge.
Li Xiaozhou happily pulled his brother and jumped up, "Oh, our family is celebrating the New Year today! We have big pig's trotters and big spare ribs!"
Li Xiaohai watched happily, then said after thinking about it, "Dad, you don't have to buy meat every day, you still have to buy a fishing boat!"
"You're worrying about nothing. Be careful not to turn into an old man."
Li Xiaozhou bent his body and imitated the old man in the village to walk, "Brother has become a little old man!"
"would not!"
Li Xiaohai glared at his brother and happily followed Li Changle, "Dad, Lao Wai said his father praised you, saying that you are amazing and that you caught much more fish than he did."
"That's right. Your father is blessed by Lord Hailong."
Li Xiaohai looked at him with sparkling eyes and whispered, "Dad, don't tell them."
"Of course not!" The father and son went to the kitchen to get a vegetable washing basket, took out the pig's trotters and ribs and put them in it.
Li Xiaohai hurriedly took it to the kitchen and covered it with a net to prevent flies from biting it.
Li Changle put the money away, said hello to his two sons, and went to get a machete to go to the grove. There were a few crooked trees there, which were similar in shape to walking sticks. They were just the right size to make walking sticks.
When he went out, he saw Zhou Ruonan coming back with fishing ropes and steel wires.
"When Dad comes back this afternoon, I'll go cut a stick for him to use as a walking stick." Zhou Ruonan nodded, "Don't go to other people's houses to cut one. We have several right next to our mountain. Go and see which one is suitable?"
After the land was distributed to each household, every family depended on the little firewood grown in the mountains to the west. If any family was short of a single firewood, they would jump up and down like a chicken with its feathers standing on end, and curse non-stop.
"I'm going to the grove to chop woods and visit Awei by the way."
"Awei took the crab trap and the crab cage and left, saying he would lower the nets as well." Zhou Ruonan said as she put down the fishing line. "I'll start cooking now, go help him lower the nets and come back."
Li Changle nodded and strode towards the village entrance. When he was about to reach the saline-alkali land, he found that the wind at the seaside was much stronger.
Looking up, I saw the clouds in the sky were like big cotton balls, moving quickly from the southeast, as fast as a galloping horse.
"Paomayun, the typhoon is not gone but is coming. The fishing boats out to sea should have seen it, right?"
Then I thought again, the Maritime Meteorological Bureau should not have notified me, otherwise why didn’t the village loudspeaker announce it? Also, I still don’t remember that there was a strong typhoon landing this year, so I would definitely not forget it if there was.
Li Changle strode towards the gate with all sorts of thoughts in his mind. Before he reached it, he seemed to hear Ah Wei's shouting from the other side of the woods.
He ran towards the grove and saw Chen Yongwei and two men arguing loudly in the shallow water ahead.
"It's my crab cage, why don't you give it back to me?"
"Just bark and see, if it agrees, I'll return it to you!"
"You bastard, even Li Changle, that monkey, has to be respectful when he sees me. How dare you, a piece of shit, compete with me for territory?"
"Bah! Even when I see you I have to be respectful. Do you think you are the emperor? Fuck him!"
Li Changle quickly took off her sandals, waded over and took a look. She felt that the man looked like Wang Mazi's brother-in-law Zheng Weiwu?
He had no memory of the slacking scoundrel with a permed hair standing next to him.
Seeing him coming, Chen Yongwei pointed at the dark-faced young man in front of him and said, "Brother, they picked up the crab cages we put down last night. I asked them to return them but they refused. They also said that we are not allowed to put down crab cages here anymore."
It turned out that after he arrived at the grove, he was looking for the one he didn't find this morning while putting down the crab pot.
When he lowered the crab cages to the last two, he saw the float not far away. When he was about to collect them, the guy with the afro picked them up first.
The two men wanted to leave with the crab cage, but Chen Yongwei stopped them and asked for it back. He was also insulted by Zheng Weiwu and the man with the afro.
Li Changle looked at the crab cage in the afro's hand, raised his eyes and squinted at Zheng Weiwu, "What is that? Even if I see you, I have to be respectful? It's so windy, aren't you afraid of biting your tongue?"
Zheng Weiwu was still thinking about asking Li Changle to ask A Wei to apologize to him, but when he heard what he said, he glared at him and said, "A Le, you monkey, what do you mean? Do you still want to go shopping with my brother-in-law?"
"You pig brain, the whole family is just short of announcing to the world that his brother-in-law has made a lot of money running goods. No wonder people say that when the sky is crazy, it will rain, and when people are crazy, they will suffer disasters. If you continue to be crazy for a while, your brothers will all be imprisoned. I don't know how crazy you can be."
"No, I don't have that ability. It's enough for me to make a little money by fishing in the sea." Li Changle looked at the crab net in the hand of the afro, "Come back!"
"If you say it's yours, it's yours. Just shout and as long as it responds, I'll give it back to you." The man with the afro curled his lips and repeated what he had just said.
"Fuck you, you bitch!" Li Changle snatched the crab cage and kicked it. "You stole the net, and you still think you're right."
"Ah~" The guy with the afro was caught off guard and kicked by him and fell into a puddle. He crawled twice but couldn't get up.
Zheng Weiwu hurried over to help him up, "You..."
When he saw the machete in Li Changle's hand, he was so scared that he swallowed back the curse that was about to come out of his mouth and dared not say a word.
This monkey brought a machete with him when he set up a trap! Could it be that he knew that Wang Mazi asked me to cause trouble for him?
"Fuck you!" The guy with the afro suffered a great loss. When Zheng Weiwu helped him up, he rushed towards Li Changle, waving his fists and cursing.
"You bastard, how dare you hit my brother!" Chen Yongwei stepped forward and slapped him away.
The guy with the afro hit the puddle with a "plop", and the muddy yellow sea water splashed high. His whole body was covered with mud. He drank several mouthfuls of the fishy and salty sea water, lay in the mud and vomited several times, but failed to spit it out.
Zheng Weiwu didn't expect the big guy to be so strong. He was glad that he didn't do anything just now, otherwise he would be the one thrown into the water.
Chen Yongwei pointed at Zheng Weiwu and said, "Brother, he just said that you were like a dog, wagging your tail and begging him to give you a bone to chew."
"Brother, you're foul-mouthed!" Zheng Weiwu looked at the two tall men and begged for mercy. "Brother Ale, I was just joking. I also said that Wang Mazi was wrong about eating your scale..."
Li Changle looked at him coldly and said, "Get lost!" He confessed that the two men followed A Wei and it seemed that Wang Mazi had ordered them to do so.
Chen Yongwei waved his fist at him, "Get lost!"
"Yes Yes Yes!"
Zheng Weiwu swallowed his anger and turned around, walked forward to help up the guy with afro who was lying in the mud, and the two of them walked towards the shore, one step deep and one step shallow.
Chen Yongwei looked at the axe in his hand and said, "Brother, why are you holding an axe? Do you know how to count? Do you know how I fight with them?"
"Your brother is the reincarnation of Yuan Tiangang, he's very good at fortune-telling!" Li Changle stuffed the knife into his hand, opened the crab cage, and saw that there was actually a blue crab and several stone crabs inside.
"Let's go cut down a small tree and then go home to cook crabs."
Chen Yongwei nodded and followed excitedly with his machete in hand. "Brother, I found a piece of iron that's bigger than a bucket in the trench ahead. I should be able to sell it for a few dollars."
Li Changle looked back at him and said, "Found it in the trench?"
"Yeah! When I came here, there was a mullet in the trench. When I went to catch it, I stepped on it and it almost cut my foot."
Li Changle suddenly remembered that in his previous life, someone had retrieved mines, detectors, missile wreckage, anti-aircraft machine gun bullets, and a variety of foreign eavesdropping devices from the sea in exchange for bonuses.
It is an open secret among coastal fishermen that one can make meritorious deeds while going out to sea to fish.
Some people also say that fishermen are the authentic "Haidilao" masters. If they want, they can even fish up the United States' aircraft carrier.
"What kind of iron lump?"
"It's like a bucket, but much bigger than a bucket." Chen Yongwei took him back to the edge of the trench and pointed at the large rusty iron bucket in the trench.
"That's it!" He handed him the machete, went into the water and happily carried the bucket up. "There's a piece of iron in it, at least 20 to 30 kilograms."
"Shit~" Li Changle's eyes widened and he took a few steps back. This was exactly what he had seen on TV in his previous life, the mines that fishermen had fished out.
This mine was less than one meter long and more than half a meter in diameter. The covers at both ends were rusted by sea water, and the inner liner used to hold explosives was exposed.
My God, the one that other people fished out was still in good condition, why was the one they encountered so rotten?
Thanks to my friend Qiuxiaoluoyan, 2018...5783, for the support! Thank you!
