Chapter 30 Let’s see how much it will cost to repair the fishing boat
After Zhao Dahai finished eating, he tidied up the house, checked that it was almost four o’clock, and went out to find Zhao Shi.
"Second Grandpa."
"Are you okay?"
Zhao Dahai got straight to the point and said he wanted to see how much it would cost to repair the fishing boat.
Zhao Shi sighed. Zhao Dahai had made up his mind. He didn't agree with it, but there was nothing he could do about it. He stood up and went out. He and Zhao Shi arrived at the small pier, walked through the beach, passed through the woods, and arrived in front of the fishing boat. .
Zhao Dahai felt pain in his heart. Two years ago, his father and mother drove this boat out to sea for fishing and never came back. From then on, we were separated forever.
"Second Grandpa."
"This fishing boat will cost a lot of money to repair, right?"
Zhao Dahai took a deep breath and tried to calm down. The dead are far away, and the living must live well. People in the fishing village cannot live without fishing boats. Repair them and go out to sea to fish and live a good life. This is what parents want to see most. They must live well.
Zhao Shi looked at it carefully for half an hour and calculated for a while. It would cost almost 20,000 yuan to repair the fishing boat.
Zhao Dahai frowned. The fishing boat had been soaked in water for half a year, and the sea had been exposed to wind and sun for more than two years. There were many bad things, and it would definitely cost a lot of money. I didn't expect it to cost so much, and the money on hand was far behind.
"The sea."
"There is nothing wrong with the fishing boat."
"There is nothing wrong with the main beam. It is very strong. What is broken are some boards."
"If you really want to repair it, prepare the materials and we, my grandfather and grandson, will do it ourselves to save some labor costs."
Zhao Shi smoked the hookah gurglingly.
"Okay!"
"Second Grandpa."
"When I prepare the materials, I will repair the fishing boat myself."
Zhao Dahai gritted his teeth. No matter what, the fishing boat must be repaired. If the money is not enough, I will earn and save.
The sun sets in the west.
The tide has just risen, and the calm sea is covered with golden light.
Zhao Dahai and Zhao Shi walked back after watching the fishing boats. When they arrived at the small dock, they met people from the village.
"Uncle Shizhu."
"What are you doing?!"
Zhao Dahai glanced at the mangroves in the distance. A few days ago, when I came out of the mangrove carrying blue crabs, I met Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin. This morning when I went to the town to sell blue crabs, I met Lei Dayou and Ma Hongyu. These people gathered together, carrying hoes and mesh bags in their hands, and their trouser legs were stained with sea mud. Needless to say, they knew what they were going to do.
“Hehehe!”
“We’re going to the mangroves.”
“Isn’t it the fact that I saw you caught a lot of blue crabs a few days ago and we want to touch them? Trying your luck?”
Zhong Shizhu's old face heated up. He didn't expect to meet Zhao Dahai and Zhao Shi here.
"How is it?!"
"Is there any?!"
Zhao Dahai smiled inwardly. The mangroves on the edge of the village, especially a place where you can walk when the tide rises and recedes, I have already caught them. I can’t say that there are no blue crabs, but there are definitely not many, and there is definitely not much harvest. I am asking knowingly.
Zhong Shizhu shook his head.
Zhao Dahai chatted for a few words and went home with Zhao Shi.
“This thing is really evil.”
“Zhao Dahai went to the mangrove and caught so many blue crabs. Why is there nothing wrong if just a few of us go in?!”
Liu Bin watched Zhao Dahai and Zhao Shi turn a corner and couldn't see them. He was indignant. He spent a day in the mangroves and was half exhausted. He caught two blue crabs, which were worthless. , there is not even enough food for one meal when we go back. "What's so weird about this?!"
"Zhao Dahai must have caught it again."
"There are no blue crabs in the nearby mangroves. It will take a while. We are too anxious."
Zhong Shi Zhu's face looked a little ugly. Why did Zhao Dahai catch so many blue crabs and he and others were so busy that they got nothing? How can people like themselves gain anything if they all catch them all? Who in the fishing village doesn't know that there is usually only one blue crab in a place, and it takes three to five months or even half a year before another blue crab is found. When they saw Zhao Dahai catching so many blue crabs, they were jealous and hot-headed and forgot about it. Nowadays, those who want to catch green crabs have to go deep into the mangroves, but time does not allow for it. There is a fixed time for low and high tides. When the sea water rises, it does not leave the mangroves. It is very dangerous. Who dares to do such a thing?
“Didn’t you two say that you saw Zhao Dahai carrying blue crabs back to the pier a few nights ago? If there are blue crabs in the forest, there is no way I would let you know about it and let you see it.”
Lei Dayou remembered what Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin had said just now.
"Ah?!"
"You mean that Zhao Dahai only left the small pier when he knew he couldn't catch blue crabs in the forest?"
Liu Bin was stunned for a moment.
"Zhao Dahai is not stupid."
"If we can still catch blue crabs, how can we survive here at the pier?!"
“It’s not just this way back to the village.”
“Everyone is coming and going at the pier. When you pass here, you will see people immediately. Are there more people grabbing crabs? The last time we went to the crab Zhao Dahai doesn’t have any thoughts about the tiger fish?”
Lei Da was a little depressed and spent the whole day in vain.
“Isn’t this impossible?!”
“Does Zhao Dahai really have such thoughts?!”
Zhong Shizhu didn’t believe it.
Lei Da did not continue to say anything. He called Ma Hongyu and turned around to leave.
“Hey!”
“Do you think what Lei Dayou said is true?!”
Liu Bin had a hard time accepting it. If it's really like what Lei Dayou said, aren't people like me just being fooled by Zhao Dahai? !
Zhong Shizhu's expression turned even uglier, which was most likely true.
Lei Da opened the courtyard door, strode in, rushed directly to the water tank, filled the water bottle with a gourd, and drank until his stomach was full before he stopped. He didn’t bring any water, and he almost died of thirst. .
“Why are you so dazed?”
Ma Hongyu was not much better. She drank a lot of water and stood up from the threshold. She was too tired to move. She originally wanted to get rich, but she didn’t expect anything. None. If I had known this, I would have stayed at home and slept. Lei Dayou drank enough water, sat on a stool, frowned and smoked, saying nothing, not knowing what he was thinking.
“Didn’t you say you were chatting with Zhong Cuihua this morning?”
"This thing really has to be done!"
Lei Dayou raised his head and glanced at Ma Hongyu.
“Huh?”
“What?”
Ma Hongyu was stunned for a moment.
"Zhao Dahai can't say one day he will really make a fortune!"
Lei Dayou sighed. When I, Zhong Shizhu and others entered the mangroves, they could walk through all the ditches and ditches, leaving only a few unclogged blue crab holes. Zhao Dahai must have entered the mangroves more than once. The time he went with the mud snails and sea melon seeds must have been to catch blue crabs, but he didn't say a word until he caught them all and there were no blue crabs in the nearby mangroves. Then he returned home from the small pier and let Zhong Shi Zhu and Liu Bin saw it. The blue crabs I caught early in the morning were not sold until today. The fishing village is remote and there are many hard-working people, but it is not the hard-working people who can make money, it is whether they have some brains that matters. Zhao Dahai is a man with brains. No matter what happens, condoms are close, there are only advantages and no disadvantages.
Ma Hongyu nodded, thinking about going to Zhong Cuihua early tomorrow morning.
