Chapter 123 Grandma likes it very much! Zhao Dahai must work harder!
Zhang Li rode a tricycle and found a place to park at the entrance of the vegetable market and walked quickly inside. It was the busiest time in the morning market. Ding Xiaoxiang couldn't handle it alone, so she had to help.
“Today’s skinned fish is pretty good!”
……
“Would you like nine-section shrimp? They are about twenty pieces per pound.”
"The price of catching nets in shallow seas is a little more expensive."
......
"Are you talking about these black sea bream? Although they are not big in size, they are all fishing holes. Every piece of fish is alive and kicking. It’s so fresh that if you buy it and make soup, it will be delicious.” Nothing is left behind, you come and go, bargaining, weighing fish and pretending to be fish, without any delay.
Zhang Li walked quickly to the stall and saw a large plastic plate placed right in front of the fish stall. It contained black sea bream and was sold for seven or eighty percent. There were only a few fish left and they were very popular.
Zhang Li's face was a little ugly. It was most likely that Zhao Dahai sent it to Liu Gang when he went to sell fish just now. He missed an opportunity to catch the current situation.
Zhang Li remained calm and opened her mouth to greet business. It doesn’t matter if she misses once. There are plenty of opportunities. It’s impossible for Zhao Dahai not to come. He just needs to seize it once.
Zhao Dahai returned to the village on his motorcycle, feeling so good that he wanted to fly.
I’m going to meet Ding Xiaoxiang at nine o’clock tonight. It’s not a date, I’m just picking up a puppy. But no matter what, it’s always a meeting and it’s not a meeting at the fish market. After the first time, there will be a second time. There will be many times. Isn't this how feelings slowly accumulate?
Zhao Dahai looked up at the sky. It was very blue, very much like his current mood.
"Grandma!"
"I will bring a puppy back to you tonight!"
Zhao Dahai parked his motorcycle and headed toward the people weaving fishing nets in the main room. Grandma Zhong Cuihua shouted.
“Okay!”
"You have to save some when you eat at night to feed the puppy!"
Zhong Cuihua was very happy when she heard that it was great to have a puppy.
Zhao Dahai told Zhong Cuihua that he would go to the pier and go out to sea to find a fishing place. If he could catch fish, he would come back later. If he couldn't catch fish, he would come back earlier.
When Zhao Dahai arrived at the pier, all the fishing boats that put fishing nets for fishing came back, and all the fish were sold. Most of the people had gone home. There were only a few fishing boats where people were packing up the fishing nets or washing the fishing boats.
Zhao Dahai saw Liu Bin and remembered the big yellow snapper he caught yesterday. He walked over and asked if any yellow snapper had been caught in the fishing nets in the past two or three days.
Liu Bin nodded. He had caught yellow sea bream in the past two or three days. Today, he caught the most, almost ten kilograms.
Zhao Dahai and Liu Bin chatted for a while, then drove the fishing boat away from the pier. He had no intention of fishing today. He wanted to find out if there was a suitable fishing spot and then start fishing seriously tomorrow.
While recalling the topography of the surrounding seafloor at low tide, Zhao Dahai drove his fishing boat and found several places with large pits and possible flowing water on the seafloor, but he failed to catch any fish after trying for a while.
Zhao Dahai frowned. Where there is running water, there are fish. The reason is very simple, but it is really not easy to find running water. The sea area where you fish is shallow fishing, and the topography of the seabed is not complicated. There are not many places like trenches or reef trenches created by the propellers of large fishing boats. Nowadays, One of these two places has disappeared and no fish can be caught, and the other is too crowded to fish.
Zhao Dahai searched for two hours and found nothing.
Is it possible that we have to try our luck again?
If you can’t find flowing water, you can only look for deep water. You can only try everywhere to see where you can catch fish. There is no other way. At this point, you can only do it like this.
Zhao Dahai looked at the time. It was almost five o'clock in the afternoon. He made an appointment with Ding Xiaoxiang at nine o'clock this evening. He had to arrive early. Finding a fishing spot is a matter of longevity. If you can't find it today, you will have to look for it tomorrow. If you can't find it today, you will have to fish. If you don't catch fish, you can fish tomorrow. There's no point in being anxious.
Zhao Dahai drove the fishing boat back to the dock and passed by the mangrove forest.
“Eh?!”
"Isn't there flowing water here?"
Zhao Dahai slowed down the speed of the fishing boat and took a closer look to make sure there was nothing wrong. There was indeed flowing water, coming from the mangroves. It was not long and ten years old. It's about 8 meters tall, which is a bit disappointing. It's high tide now and it's full in the morning. The water flowing out of the mangroves is often fresh water with lower salt content than the surrounding sea water. This kind of water is not without fish, but there are relatively few fish and they are all small. fish.
Zhao Dahai tried a few rods, and it was exactly as he thought. It was not that there were no fish, but there were fish, but they were all small fish, and they were basically yellow snapper the size of a thumb. He was very helpless and finally found one. There was water running everywhere, but it was no use. I went back to the pier without further delay. I went home and had dinner early. When I rode my motorcycle to the entrance of Dashi Village, it was only half past seven. The moon had just risen and it was not too bright. , can see about ten meters away, the motorcycle is parked on the side of the road, staring at the entrance of the village, Ding Xiaoxiang can be seen as soon as she appears.
It is getting darker and darker.
The fishing village is getting quieter and quieter.
Several dogs barked in the distance, making it even more quiet.
There are many people in Dashi Village.
A light began to shine at the entrance of the village, extending back a thousand and hundreds of meters.
Zhao Dahai looked at it and couldn't help but wonder where in this light was Ding Xiaoxiang's home. As soon as the idea came to his mind, a man rushed over at a trot.
Zhao Dahai looked like Ding Xiaoxiang, flashed the light twice, waved and shouted.
"Ah?"
"You are here early?"
"Didn't I tell you to come at nine o'clock?"
Ding Xiaoxiang carried a cage and borrowed the motorcycle's Using the headlamp, I saw a layer of dew on the iron sheet. Zhao Dahai's hair was wet. He must have been waiting for a long time.
"There is nothing to do at home. Come here early."
Zhao Dahai smiled. He must have come early. If he arrived late or late, there must be something wrong with his head.
"This is my puppy. My favorite one in this litter!"
"I call it Little Naihei!"
"Remember Be nice to it!"
Ding Xiaoxiang handed the cage to Zhao Dahai reluctantly. She liked the puppy so much that she would definitely keep it if the family didn't support it. "Okay!"
"Don't worry!"
"If you come to my house to see the puppy in a while, he will definitely be fat and white."
Zhao Dahai took the puppy from Ding Xiaoxiang's hand The cage hangs on the front handlebar of the motorcycle.
“Who said I was going to your house!”
Ding Xiaoxiang blushed. She would not go to Zhao Dahai's house even if she killed herself. Others saw it and didn't know what to say. When the news reached my mother's ears, her legs were really broken.
Zhao Dahai took out a small red envelope from his pocket. The rules or customs in the village are that if you pick up a puppy or kitten from someone else’s home, you won’t be given money seriously if you don’t buy it, but you will be given a small red envelope. It doesn’t matter how much it is, five yuan, ten yuan or even one yuan will do. But there must be.
“Huh?”
“No!”
“I told you that the puppy was given to you. If I don’t give it to you, I will definitely give it to someone else’s house. It’s better to give it to you. Yes. At least I know you.”
Ding Xiaoxiang shook her head.
"How can I not want it?"
"This is the rule."
Zhao Dahai couldn't help but said, Ding Xiaoxiang didn't want it, he stretched out his big hand, grabbed the little hand, and slapped the red envelope on his palm .
Ding Xiaoxiang did not expect Zhao Dahai to come hard directly. She was stunned. The moment the big hand grabbed her small hand, she immediately felt that the work she often did was very rough, but it was very powerful and she did not allow herself to resist. There was another A feeling of peace of mind.
"Ah?"
"Someone is coming!"
"I'm going back first!"
"Remember to take good care of Little Naihei!"
Ding Xiaoxiang saw car lights in the distance, suddenly woke up, her face turned red, turned around and ran towards the village.
"Okay!"
"If you touch it, you touch it. Sooner or later, isn't it? There is a first time and a second time! This is a good thing."
Zhao Dahai scratched his hair , just now I really just wanted to just stuff a red envelope, but after seeing Ding Xiaoxiang’s reaction, I came to my senses and touched the little girl’s hand. Then I got on my motorcycle and went home. The puppy in the cage barked twice from time to time.
Ding Xiaoxiang ran to the door of her house.
“Huh?!”
"Where are you going?"
Zhang Li walked out of her home and saw Ding Xiaoxiang panting, her face as red as an apple.
"I met my classmate from elementary school during the day and said that I wanted to raise a puppy. I just gave it to her at the entrance of the village."
Ding Xiaoxiang had already thought of an excuse.
Zhang Li didn't pay attention and turned around to leave. She had to talk to the village chief about something. All the local dogs in the village were raised. It's not easy to find someone to send them out these days. If someone is willing to do it, Come on, Ding Xiaoxiang has found someone and has one less headache.
Ding Xiaoxiang watched Zhang Li walk away, skipped into the house, returned to her room, closed the door, opened her palms, and saw that the red envelope forced by Zhao Dahai was wrinkled and covered with sweat.
“Hmph!”
“How can there be any reason to forcefully stuff a red envelope?!”
Ding Xiaoxiang muttered, looked at the red envelope in her hand, and thought for a while before opening it. Stuff it under my pillow, I will get up early tomorrow morning to sell fish, shrimps and crabs, turn off the light, put my pillow on my head, and fall asleep for a while.
Zhao Dahai came home on his motorcycle and called his grandma Zhong Cuihua, saying that the puppy was back.
Zhong Cuihua walked out of the hall and saw a pure black puppy coming out of the cage. It didn't recognize strangers at all and was very curious. It ran around in the yard.
"Okay!"
"Okay!"
"This is a good dog!"
When Zhong Cuihua walked into the kitchen and brought dinner The rice soaked in fish soup that was specially set aside was placed on the ground. The puppy immediately ran over and ate it with big mouthfuls.
"Grandma."
"This dog's name is Xiao Naihei!"
Zhao Dahai didn't help. He often went out to sea and brought the puppies back. One was to look after the house and the other was You have to accompany and protect grandma Zhong Cuihua. Grandma Zhong Cuihua has to feed the first meal by herself. Whoever feeds the dog, especially the first meal, is the master and will remember it clearly for the rest of her life.
“Good!”
“What a good name!”
Zhong Cuihua stretched out her hand and kept scratching the head of the little girl who was eating fish soup and rice.
Zhao Dahai smiled, grandma really liked this puppy.
The moon is as cold as water.
Zhao Dahai was tidying up things for tomorrow’s fishing in the yard. After finishing the tidying up, he stood up and walked into the main room. He saw Xiao Naihei lying at grandma’s feet. When he heard someone walking in, he immediately looked up and saw that it was him. Lie down again.
Work hard!
make money!
I hope that in a few years the dog will grow up and be married!
Zhao Dahai went back to his room to sleep and went fishing tomorrow.
