Zhao Dahai returned to the village and went directly to Zhao Shi's house to return the car.
"Second Grandpa!"
Zhao Dahai shouted, pushed the motorcycle into the yard, parked it, took off the rack, fetched water, rinsed it and put the bucket away.
Zhao Shi walked out of the house and knew that the red spot had been sold for almost three thousand yuan, so he nodded and said the price was good.
"Hehehe!"
"You're pretty lucky, kid."
Zhao Shi smoked a hookah. Others drove fishing boats out to sea every day and put out countless fishing nets. Not many of them were successful. Zhao Dahai fished for Shi Jiugong on the reef in front of the village and caught such a big red spot.
It makes no sense.
"Second Grandpa."
"Don't tell me. My luck has been quite good recently."
"Smooth sailing."
Zhao Dahai had to admit that his luck was really good during this period. When he caught crabs and tiger fish, they were all huge. In the mangroves, he caught blue crabs, many crabs, and a butter crab, Jumping.
The fish was a little worse, but several kilograms of pink minnows were sold at a good price. Today was the most exaggerated. After excluding the Shi Jiugong, which cost a few yuan per kilogram, I encountered a red spot that sold for almost three thousand yuan. In less than half a month
I made a lot of money in my time, seven to eight thousand yuan in total.
"Hehehe!"
"Those who are willing to work hard can always make money!"
Zhao Shi took a sip from the hookah that never left his hand. Zhao Dahai was indeed lucky, but if he hadn't worked hard, how could he have such luck?
Zhao Dahai saw his second mistress, Huang Jintao, walking out of the house and taking off the two boxes hanging on the handlebars of the motorcycle.
"Second Grandma."
"I bought two small cakes."
"One for you and one for my grandma to take back later."
Zhao Dahai said as he handed Huang Jintao a box.
"Humph!"
"Why spend this money?!"
Zhao Shi's face turned cold.
"Second Grandpa."
"This is not a cake bought for you, but bought for my second grandma!"
Zhao Dahai knew that Zhao Shi felt that he was spending money indiscriminately.
"What are you doing, old man?!"
"What's wrong with this kid like Dahai to honor me when he makes money?!"
"Don't eat my cake for a while."
Huang Jintao glared at Zhao Shi.
Zhao Dahai chatted with Huang Jintao for a while, carrying another box with cakes in one hand, and a bucket and net bag and fishing rods in the other hand to go home.
Huang Jintao opened the box containing the cake, pinched a piece, and handed it to Zhao Shi.
"Humph!"
"I won't eat!"
Zhao Shi turned his head and his face darkened.
"You old man, have you eaten gunpowder?"
"Do you think Dahai borrowed our motorcycle, bought something, and returned the favor? You shouldn't do this?"
"Let's not talk about whether the kid Dahai really thinks this way. What if he really thinks this way? Isn't it a good thing to understand the ways of the world?"
"If you need help, buy something to show your appreciation. Isn't this how relatives treat each other?"
"Don't forget one thing. No matter what you may say at first glance, you and your brother have separated and lived their own lives decades ago. You can no longer treat Dahai as a child. He is now a man who is the head of the family."
"You don't understand this little thing about human nature, what's the point? How about the rest of your life?"
Huang Huangtao has been married to Zhao Shi for decades and lived together every day. How could she not know what Zhao Shi was thinking?
Zhao Shi lowered his head and smoked the hookah. Huang Huangtao's words were reasonable and could not be refuted.
Zhao Dahai quickly walked into the yard and called his grandma Zhong Cuihua loudly.
"Hey!"
"Why are you so late?!"
Zhong Cuihua walked out of the hall. Zhao Shi came over and told Zhao Dahai to sell fish in the town, so he had to go to the beach to find someone.
"Grandma."
"I sold the fish and bought a motorcycle."
"It's not a new one, it's a second-hand one. It costs 700 yuan, which is enough for us."
As Zhao Dahai spoke, he opened the box containing the cake, took it out, broke off a piece and handed it to Zhong Cuihua. He must have not eaten before he came back, so he should eat something to cushion his stomach.
"Okay!"
"You really have to buy it."
"We can't borrow your second grandpa's house all day long. We have to have it."
"Don't buy these foods next time you come to town."
"How about buying something else with this money?"
Zhong Cuihua nodded, pinched some cake and put it in her mouth. Zhao Dahai often went to the town to sell fish and so on. He couldn't rely on two legs every time. If he borrowed a car, it could be once or twice, but not more. It's not Zhao Shi.
Yes, that’s not the way things work.
Zhao Dahai smiled and ignored what Zhong Cuihua said about buying cakes. He walked into the kitchen and took a look. The food was already cooked, including white rice and salted fish and pork belly. He went fishing early in the morning, and then went to the town to sell fish and buy motorcycles.
After all the fuss, I didn’t even take a sip of water. I was already very hungry, so I took it out and started eating.
After Zhao Dahai finished eating, he took a rest and went to the back of the house to take a look. Grandma Zhong Cuihua watered the vegetable seedlings transplanted last night early in the morning. The sun did not affect them during the day, and every leaf stood straight.
If it is not wilted, it will definitely not die now, it will definitely live, and there will be no need to buy vegetables in a month.
The sun sets.
The sky is burning and the clouds are red.
Zhao Dahai returned to the yard, stood for a while, and heard the sound of a motorcycle. After a while, two motorcycles appeared. The owner of the second-hand motorcycle shop and another person each rode one towards him.
Zhao Dahai shouted, waved, checked that there was nothing wrong with the car, and paid.
"Grandma!"
"How about giving you a ride?!"
Zhao Dahai patted the back seat of the motorcycle.
Zhong Cuihua smiled and nodded, then got on the motorcycle and supported Zhao Dahai.
Zhao Dahai drove Zhong Cuihua around all the places in the village and the village pier before returning home and pushing the motorcycle into the yard.
Zhong Cuihua was sitting in the main room weaving fishing nets. From time to time she raised her head and looked at Zhao Dahai, who was busy washing his motorcycle in the yard, and smiled very happily.
Village Pier.
Liu Bin carried bucket after bucket of sea water and washed the deck of the fishing boat. He went fishing last night and came back to sell fish at nine o'clock in the morning. The sun was too high and too hot. He stayed at home to rest. Now he took advantage of the opportunity
I came here to do this when the sun was about to go down and it was cooler. I also had to tidy up the fishing nets later, so that it would be more convenient when I go fishing next time.
"Hey!"
"Liu Bin."
"Why are you busy here? Don't you go fishing?!"
Zhong Shizhu strode onto the pier, saw Liu Bin at a glance, and shouted,
"You didn't go there?!"
Liu Bin straightened up and looked at Zhong Shizhu, and then at the rocks at the east end of the village. Now everyone in the village knew that Zhao Dahai had caught a red spot weighing more than four kilograms. From a distance, he saw at least dozens of people there. Zhong Shizhu shook his head. On that part of the reef, it was already a big deal to have just one red spot. It was impossible to have another one. Anyone with some fishing experience could not understand this truth, not to mention that so many people were crowded there.
Not to mention red spots, even Shi Jiugong couldn’t catch a few fish.
