Chapter 114 The name has spread to Ding Xiaoxiang Village! (Third update please order)
Three poles in the sun!
Zhao Dahai opened his eyes and took a while to recover.
I went out to dig for sandworms at three or four in the morning. When I came back, I dried the "sandworms" on the dustpan. It was almost one in the morning when I lay down. After less than three hours of sleep, I went out and continued digging until the tide was not suitable. The retreat was relatively shallow, especially when the diggers dug for a few more days, and the number of sandworms was greatly reduced, so they stopped digging.
Zhao Dahai slowly sat up and frowned. He had been digging for three days. The intensity was too great. Even though he was as strong as an ox, his hands and feet were still sore.
evening.
The fiery red sun hangs in the sky.
At the end of the horizon, patches of fire are red.
The sea breeze blows, making it hot and dry.
At the entrance of the yard, seven or eight large dustpans were lined up, all filled with sandworms.
"Are you tired?"
Zhong Cuihua turned over the sandworms on the dustpan one by one.
"Grandma!"
"I have slept all day. How can I still be tired?"
Zhao Dahai picked up a sandworm, pinched it with a little force and then broke it off After a while, the sandworms dug up on the first day were almost dried. The ones dug out in the next two days needed a little more heat. Another day tomorrow will be enough. I slept until I woke up naturally in the morning, had lunch and then slept again. I have almost recovered, except for a little soreness in my hands and feet.
The most was dug on the first day, which was about thirty kilograms, and on the second day it was about twenty kilograms. On the third day, there were not many sandworms left in the sea, only about ten kilograms, which added up to more than sixty kilograms, or about ten kilograms of fresh sand. The worms can produce one kilogram or eight taels of dried sand worms. In total, there are five kilograms of dried sand worms, which can be sold for five thousand yuan.
It’s been really hard these days.
How can making money not be hard?
It’s good to be able to earn money through hard work!
Zhao Dahai did not go to sea the next day and continued to rest. After breakfast, he turned over the sandworms on the dustpan. Grandma Zhong Cuihua sat on the threshold of the courtyard door with an iron basin and a small piece of wood in her hands. , this is anti-bird. If you see a bird coming, knock it to scare it away. However, if it comes back after a while, you have to keep an eye on it. If the fish you are drying is salted fish, it is not worth a few dollars and you won’t care about it. Sandworms will not They are all valuable, and when the birds come in a flock, and if they are pecked regardless, they will suffer heavy losses in the day, and the chickens in the village must also be careful.
Zhao Dahai rode his motorcycle to the town and bought glass, glass glue, water pumps for filtration, cement and other materials. He has been fishing recently to make a living so he can sell the goods at a good price. One of the big barrels at home is too small and the other one only has oxygen. The machine does not pump water or filter it, so the fish you catch cannot be kept for a few days. In addition, you only return to the dock for fishing at night. It usually takes two or three days to sell fish, so you must have a good fish pond.
Zhao Dahai started working immediately when he got home.
I found a place in the corner of the yard and built a pond with cement bricks that was 43 meters wide, 2 meters high and 1.5 meters high. The measured glass was spread underneath and around it, and the gaps between the glass and the glass were filled with glass. Glue, a little water won't leak. There is a large box on a wooden shelf. There is a layer of fine sand about one centimeter thick at the bottom and about ten centimeters of coarse sand on top. This is used for filtering. The key to natural environmental protection is to save money. If it gets dirty after a period of time, just replace it with a new one.
Zhao Dahai waited for the glass glue to dry. He rode a motorcycle with a bucket and pulled back the sea water from the beach. He filled the pool to seventy percent full, installed the water pump and oxygenator, and tried it. Nothing went wrong at all. No, it’s simple and easy to use. I’m very satisfied.
After Zhao Dahai finished dinner, he took his grandma Zhong Cuihua out and walked around the village for an hour. Then he went home to pack his things. He dug for sandworms for a few days and had a good rest for two days. He will continue fishing tomorrow when the tide is good.
Dashi Village.
A banyan tree planted thirty or forty years ago has grown very tall and has luxuriant branches. It is very cool no matter how hot the weather is during the day. The elderly and children play here. At night, it becomes even more lively. , people who have been busy all day will come here to sit down after dinner unless they have to rush early tomorrow.
“Mom!”
“I don’t like coming here.”
Ding Xiaoxiang looked reluctant.
Today, the fish, shrimp and crab at the stall were sold out early. It was just after six o'clock after returning home for dinner, and I had to drag myself out to enjoy the cool air under the banyan tree at the end of the village.
The excitement is indeed lively, but every time I come back here, all the young men who are about the same age as me or a few years older than me gather around me, trying to please them in every possible way, but they can’t drive them away. Not only from my own village, but also from my own village. There are other villages.
How could you not know what these people are up to?
The people who work are so tired that they go home and go to bed early. How can they have so much free time to enjoy the cool air and brag? Or they might go out to work outside the village and not be in the village.
A man has to work and make money, so there is nothing to do when he is idle at home.
If you are not blind, how can you see someone like this?
“What kind of work can I do if I’m bored at home all day? It takes two hours to go home.”
Zhang Li knew that Ding Xiaoxiang didn’t like to come, so she was busy doing business selling fish and shrimp for herself all day long. Crab, you should come out and sit when you have time.
Ding Xiaoxiang pouted with a look of helplessness, saying that it was useless.
Zhang Li and Ding Xiaoxiang walked to the banyan tree at the head of the village. The older people gathered together, the older girls and the younger wives gathered together. The man in charge was smoking in another corner and talking about working or fishing. The young people gathered together. Around one o'clock, people aged around 20 were in groups, and children were running around. It was very lively.
Ding Xiaoxiang followed Zhang Li, got together with the eldest girl and the daughter-in-law, and hid behind Zhang Li.
“I don’t know if the tide is wrong or something, but I haven’t been able to pick up snails recently.”
……
“There are some small fish in the sea.”
……
"I have dug up a lot of sandworms in the past few days."
"I am so tired."
...
Ding Xiaoxiang is a bit bored. These topics are not interesting to her at all. He rolled his eyes, looked left and right, and wanted to take a walk, but he knew that as soon as he walked away, dozens or twenty people would follow him, which would be even more annoying, so he had to give up.
“Speaking of digging up sandworms, there is a young man who is very good.”
......
“Yes, yes, yes!”
“A tall man about 1.8 meters tall. Big moves and kicks. Like a black iron bull, he is full of strength.”
..."It's so fast to work! One can stand up to several! We veterans who have been digging for more than ten years can't compare!"
......
"I heard it seems to be from Langtou Village!"
......
"Jiang Shiyan."
"I asked you the question the day I saw you Ma Hongyu.”
...
"The young man's name is Zhao Dahai, from Langtou Village."
......
Zhang Li was stunned for a moment, why are these people talking about Zhao Dahai? Look at Ding Xiaoxiang standing behind him.
Ding Xiaoxiang was very bored and was thinking about going home after a while. Unexpectedly, as soon as she heard Zhao Dahai’s name, her mother immediately turned back to look at her and blushed. Fortunately, it was night and she couldn’t see clearly, otherwise she would have lost her sight again. De said for a moment, pretending to be nonchalant but his little ears perked up.
"Jiang Shiyan."
"Why are you asking Ma Hongyu to ask about Zhao Dahai?"
...
"Is this even necessary? Jiang Shiyan thought A matchmaker? Isn’t her niece ready to get married this year?”
……
"That guy is good-looking and quick at work. I think he's good."
...
Zhang Li was a little upset and couldn't stay any longer, so she turned around and walked home.
Ding Xiaoxiang rolled her eyes a few times, pursed her lips and smiled.
My mother doesn’t want to see Zhao Dahai. Now I hear people around me say that Zhao Dahai is good at work and can make money. She is unhappy, but she can’t say anything. She can only go home and not listen.
Ding Xiaoxiang was in a good mood immediately and followed Zhang Li home like a deer. However, she soon realized that something was wrong.
Is someone playing matchmaker for Zhao Dahai?
......
The next time you see Zhao Dahai, you must ask what is going on.
But you’re a little embarrassed to ask this, right?
Neither relatives nor friends!
......
Ding Xiaoxiang walked into the house, and a pure black puppy rushed out. There were two big dogs, one yellow and one black, lying in the corner.
“Huh?!”
“Xiao Huang!”
"You're still up so late? Are you waiting for me?"
Ding Xiaoxiang squatted down, picked up the puppy, lifted it high, and turned it around a few times before putting it down.
“Mom!”
“You’re not going to give this puppy away? I’ll keep it!”
Ding Xiaoxiang turned to look at Zhang Li.
"No!"
"You already wanted to keep one of the last litter, and now we have two big dogs at home."
Zhang Li was determined.
Ding Xiaoxiang pouted. There is no way around this matter. Dogs are raised in the village to guard the house, but it is impossible to raise a group of dogs. Big native dogs are not picky about food but they eat a lot. Three dogs are absolutely impossible. . There were five puppies born in this litter, and four were given away. The remaining one was my favorite and was kept until the end. It seemed that it would not last long.
I wonder to whom you will be sent?
Do you still remember me when you grow up?
Ding Xiaoxiang teased the dog for a while before going back to her room and lying on the bed, she couldn't help but think about Zhao Dahai again.
Is Jiang Shiyan holding on after eating enough? When is it her turn to be the matchmaker for Zhao Dahai?
……
Jiang Shiyan’s niece? What's it called? I've met him twice. What does he do as a teacher in an elementary school in the town? This condition is good!
...
Wouldn’t it be possible to get married soon if we meet each other?
......
The more Ding Xiaoxiang thought about it, the more depressed she became. She tossed and turned and the chicken crowed for the first time before falling asleep.
