Catch the sea: start with a sand shovel and take over the entire beach

At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Qin returned to the village dock and invited the boatmen to his home for dinner tonight.

Although he doesn't have to help out in the kitchen, he still has to come back early to greet people.

After I got home and took a bath, I took out some fish food and threw some food to the fish in the big fish tank. Watching them scrambling for food, I thought of the scene I saw on the fish raft in the afternoon, and I felt inexplicably happy.

"Aqin, there's no more beer at home." Chen Xue shouted to him after checking the things she would need for the evening.

Zhao Qin said with a sigh, took out his phone and called Ah He, "When you come, bring a few boxes of beer from Lao Zhu's store."

After hanging up the phone, Lai Bao's wife came over and said, "Aqin, your brother Bao asked me to come over to help."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

"It's no trouble. The second brother is preparing dinner for the workers and can't come over for the time being."

Zhao Qin responded with a smile. It seemed that this month it was the turn of Lin Laoer's family to cook for the processing factory.

He couldn't help much at home, so he just got up and went to his eldest brother's house, where Zhao Ping was packing up.

"Brother, what are you busy with?"

"I have nothing to do today, so I took out the walker that Miaomiao used before and cleaned it. Some of them need to be repaired, as Doudou may need them."

Little A Ming's nickname is Doudou, which was given by Xia Rong herself.

"Uncle, uncle, I miss you." Miaomiao heard his voice and hurried out of the room.

Zhao Qin was equally happy. He picked up Miaomiao and held her high up, making the little girl giggle.

"I sorted out the baskets and hooks at home this afternoon. Let's go put a few baskets of hooks tomorrow. Later I'll go to Brother Dong to get a few pounds of live shrimp as bait."

Zhao Ping was hammering away while talking about tomorrow's arrangements.

"It's been almost a year since the three of us went out to sea alone, right?" Zhao Qin said, and the situation of the three of them two years ago came to his mind. At that time, they were very happy to harvest three or two thousand a day.

Zhao Ping seemed to have thought of the situation at that time and grinned, "I think the opportunities will become fewer and fewer in the future."

Miaomiao was very well behaved. When the two talked, she hugged Zhao Qin's neck without crying or making a fuss. After the two finished talking, she said, "Uncle, my brother pooped on me. It stinks."

As he said this, he pinched his nose.

"You were the same when you were a kid. You would grab your own poop and stuff it into your mouth." Xia Rong happened to hear it and said in a bad mood.

Miaomiao stuck out her tongue at her mother, then quickly said to Zhao Qin, "Uncle, run."

Before Zhao Qin could react, Xia Rong pulled Miaomiao down and spanked her on the butt several times. "Try to make faces for me again. I don't know who you learned this from."

Miaomiao's tears welled up in her eyes, but she didn't cry out loud, as if she was trying to save her mother.

Alas, the daughter is her father’s lover in his previous life, what is that to her mother?

Xia Rong cursed a few more times, and then she went into the room when she heard little A Ming crying. As soon as she left, Miao Miao reached for her little butt and said, "Uncle, run, it hurts."

Zhao Qin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and picked up the little girl again, "You have to listen to your mother from now on, okay?"

"I listen to my father and my uncle." Okay, you just don't listen to your mother, right?

However, from what he had just done, Zhao Qin discovered that this little girl was actually quite strong-willed.

It's hard to say whether it's good or bad, but it needs correct guidance. When you have a big mind, being strong is an advantage, but being too picky is not okay.

"I think Brother Mao and the others will be here soon. You should go back first. I'll be there soon." Zhao Ping looked at his watch and reminded.

Zhao Qin hummed lightly, and without putting the little girl down, he carried her to the new house, "Shall we go see your aunt?"

"Hello, Auntie. Auntie is the best."

Just then, A Yuan came back from outside. Hearing this, he immediately said, "Little flatterer."

Zhao Qin would not indulge boys, and slapped him on the head, "Speak properly, why are you talking about your sister?"

A Yuan was so depressed. He found that his status in the family was getting lower and lower.

He even did the math in his mind: with a new younger brother, he would definitely not get any chicken legs when the family killed chickens in the future. He felt aggrieved just thinking about it.

"I'll take you out to sea tomorrow, do you want to go?"

Zhao Qin's words immediately made A Yuan smile, "Uncle, you are still the best to me."

"Okay, hurry up and finish your holiday homework. If you can't get up early tomorrow morning, don't blame me for not calling you."

"Uncle, I want one too." Miaomiao hugged his neck and said coquettishly.

"If you don't go, little girls should be pretty. It's smelly to go out to sea. Let your brother go."

"Yeah, brother stinks."

Zhao Qin carried the little girl back to the new house. As soon as he entered the house, the little girl refused to let him hold her. She got down from his arms and ran to the big fish tank.

He kept calling the fish inside as if they were piglets, and giggles could be heard from time to time.

After a while, the four-member group from the outer room arrived. Zhao Qin welcomed them into the living room and sat down to make tea for them.

"What are you going to do during the fishing moratorium?" Zhao Qin looked at Chen Yuce with a smile and asked even though he knew the answer.

When I went to the fishing raft, I heard his father mention that his marriage had been arranged and it happened to be scheduled during the fishing moratorium.

Chen Yuce chuckled but didn't respond.

"Aqin, the two ships probably need to go to the shipyard, remove the barnacles on the bottom, and then repaint them." Zhuzi got down to business.

Zhao Qin nodded. This was one of the things he was going to talk about today. "Wait for my eldest brother to come, and then we can discuss a time together."

Chen Yufeng also mentioned that some damaged parts on the two ships needed to be repaired.

After chatting for a while, Lao Mao and his friends came one after another. The living room was big enough for everyone to sit down.

Seeing that everyone was present, Zhao Qin clapped his hands, asking everyone to be quiet, and then he raised his voice and said,

"Let's arrange things first. During the three-month fishing moratorium, strictly speaking, you don't have to worry about my affairs. Just take care of your family matters.

Like Ajie, if you want to go back to your hometown, just go back to your hometown.

As for last year's plan of everyone taking turns to go out to sea, this year it is not very realistic because we may not have time to use the small boat at home.

You also need to use this time to take care of your own breeding farms.

On my side, as I just told Zhuzi, the two ships need to be taken to the shipyard for a thorough cleaning and repainting. Big brother, you can pick a day and ask Brother Mao and the others to cooperate.

Contact the shipyard in advance so that they can free up work space.”

Zhao Qin looked at Du Xi again, "Brother Du, you have to check both ships thoroughly. If you need to replace anything, just tell my eldest brother or Brother Mao."

"Okay, everyone, take a good rest for the next three months. We will organize a group tour in June and July this year.

Last year we went to Beijing. Where do you want to go this year? I'll give you a week to think about it. Then tell Ah He where you want to go. We'll obey the majority."

Zhao Qin talked about some other things and everyone added to their comments. After about half an hour, the meeting ended and everyone went to the restaurant.

"We can rest upstairs, so no one needs to stay for dinner tonight. Come on, cheers."

There was no grudge between boss and employee. On the boat, everyone was a boatman, including Zhao Qin. So the banquet reached its climax right after it started.

We drank from six o'clock until about nine o'clock in the evening.

After drinking, some people went directly to the karaoke room, while Lao Mao, Du Xi and Zhao Ping set up a card game.

Zhao Qin was in a good mood today, so he played with them for a while, mainly thinking about draining some water out.
