Chapter 107 Zhang Wu Playing Football Incident
The matter between the two sons of the Ye family and himself did not conform to Zhang Ze’s original plan, but it did not matter much.
He really had no intention of making the villagers rich and making money together.
But if there is a diligent and hardworking young man who wants to work under him, there is no reason for him to refuse.
The main reason is that Zhang Ze has no plan to let Zhang Qinghe follow him all the time. Once he gets familiar with the life of fishing, sooner or later he will let him buy a boat and let him go out to sea alone, and he can get a share.
His eldest uncle and second uncle had four sons in total. Except for his youngest uncle's youngest son who was smart and good at studying, and later was admitted to Zhejiang University, the other three lived as ordinary farmers all their lives.
Therefore, this time he will bring his three cousins back to Wenshui City. After they get familiar with going out to sea, Zhang Ze plans to let one of them cooperate with Zhang Qinghe and give him some shares.
The remaining two cousins formed a team and bought a new ship, also taking shares and receiving dividends.
This is also Zhang Ze’s short-term plan. He will first set up a small fleet and catch more fish while the sea resources are good.
As for future deep-sea fishing, we can only wait and see.
Zhang Ze himself does not plan to go deep-sea fishing. Deep-sea fishing is not suitable for people with families as a trip out to sea takes too long. It is not a problem for single guys, however.
In the end, he wrote down an address and asked them to wait until the javelin from the blacksmith was finished, and then bring it to Wenshui City to find him, and he would make the arrangements.
Obviously, he would not return to the village in the short term. If he came back, it would probably be the time for the second land distribution, which would have to wait until the 1990s.
Then he took a few dogs to the captain's house. After lunch, he asked Zhang Qinghe to go back to the boat first, while he went to his uncle's house again.
Upon learning that Zhang Ze was making a lot of money by going out to sea and was going to take a few cousins with him, the eldest and second uncles were very pleased, and the two aunts were extremely happy.
However, except for his uncle's youngest son, the other three cousins are older than him and are already married, so some preparation is needed before going to Wenshui City.
He also told them that he would leave for Nanping Island on Saturday, and if his uncle and aunt wanted to see his cousin, he would come by boat to pick them up.
But it’s the busy farming season now, so my uncle and aunt thought about it and refused, deciding to go when the farming season is slack.
Finally, Zhang Ze left two hundred yuan and asked them to rent a house in Wenshui City first and arrange their wives and children before making any further arrangements.
Treating relatives is naturally different from treating others. The two brothers of the Ye family will at most give them a salary and a commission for each catch, while the cousins will be treated the same as the three brothers of the Tong family.
After making the arrangements, Zhang Ze did not agree to stay for dinner, he had to go back quickly.
Back on the boat, he originally thought that the two adult dogs would not get along well. He had even specifically instructed them not to let the other dog get close to Da Huang, who had children, so as not to arouse its hostility.
As a result, the two puppies were playing on another large spotted dog, and Dahuang didn't care at all.
"This shouldn't be the case?" Zhang Ze asked in surprise.
He had never raised a dog, but apart from the dog's father and mother, could other dogs be so friendly to the cub? Zhang Qinghe pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe this spotted dog is also one of the puppy's fathers?"
"One of?" Zhang Ze was stunned, then looked at Dahuang with a strange expression. What a scumbag dog!
I heard that there were five puppies in one litter, maybe these five puppies have different fathers.
Zhang Ze actually doesn’t care whether they can get along well or not, because the two dogs will be separated after they return anyway.
The two men pulled the small boat onto the deck and started the fishing boat back.
"Aze, when are we going out to sea next time?" Zhang Qinghe asked in the cab while driving the boat.
Now whenever there is an opportunity to drive a boat, Zhang Ze will let him come and practice his driving skills.
Zhang Ze thought about today and found that it was Wednesday, so he said, "Next time we're going to Nanping Island. The resources there are very good, and I heard there are a lot of groupers. I plan to take my family there to play, so we have to wait until Saturday to leave."
"I have nothing to do tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. You can go find a house. I can go to the shipyard to study."
"Go to the shipyard to study?" Zhang Qinghe turned to look at him in confusion.
"Yes, fishing boats may encounter various problems when going out to sea due to bad air quality. It is very important to learn about the hull structure and repair techniques."
"I see, if you can teach me then please!"
"I will definitely teach you once I learn it. Why are you in such a hurry?"
After returning to Wenshui City, Zhang Ze took the spotted dog to Tong Yuanhang's home and delivered the dog to him.
When I arrived at his place, the house was still being renovated.
Tong Yuanhang was playing with his son. This guy is a good father. He is often seen playing with his son when he is free.
Zhang Ze saw it as soon as he entered the door. When he saw a dog head popping out of the basket on the back seat of his brother-in-law's bicycle, he was stunned: "Oh, are you going to eat dog meat today?"
"Go to hell, this is a local dog I brought back from the village. It has a gentle personality and is for you to watch over the boat."
"Qing He told me that someone sneaked onto the boat at night before. I think having a dog can at least protect us from thieves. It will also be safer when we go out to sea at night in the future. At least we won't be caught by someone sneaking onto the boat."
Zhang Ze rolled his eyes in annoyance. He had never raised a dog before, but he was not interested in dog meat either.
Tong Yuanhang suddenly realized that he was here to watch the boat.
In fact, he had also discovered strange footprints on the boat before. The three brothers had discussed whether they should take turns living on the boat.
The quilts and other items on the boat are all new, and the pots and pans are also worth some money, so these may have been taken away by thieves.
Now that we have a dog, it doesn't have to be so troublesome. If someone sneaks onto the boat and the dog barks, the dock patrol will come.
"Okay, okay, you are still reliable." Tong Yuanhang happily carried the dog out. Seeing that the dog was wagging its tail at him, he stroked the dog's head twice.
"Okay, I'll go back first. The next time we go out to sea is on Saturday, so we'll go to the shipyard to learn from the master craftsman tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll talk to Jun Qiangguo."
After leaving the Tong family, Zhang Ze thought about what he should do next!
When passing by a department store, he thought for a moment, parked his bicycle at the door, and walked in.
After three turns, he had not had time to prepare the remaining tickets for a few items, but he had accumulated a lot of cloth coupons, so he planned to buy some cloth for his family to make new clothes.
Especially for Zhang Wu, who is now studying in the city, he would easily be excluded if he dressed too poorly.
At the Wenshui No. 1 Primary School, there was a cute little girl with milky white skin sitting in front of Zhang Wu. She turned around and invited him, "Zhang Wu, Xiaoli and the others have made an appointment to play rubber bands with me after school. Do you want to come along?"
"I don't want to play games for girls. I want to play football with Zhou Qi and the others." Zhang Wu refused without hesitation.
The little girl looked at the old cloth shoes he was wearing and said: "But you don't even have football shoes, how can you play football?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Zhang Wu scratched his head: "But that's how I kicked before?"
The little girl pouted, obviously a little unhappy after being rejected, and then turned around.
Zhang Wu didn't react to this, then he stood up and found the boy named Zhou Qi: "Zhou Qi, let's play football together after school!"
Zhou Qi looked at his shoes and was about to refuse, but suddenly he remembered the lunch box he brought with him at noon these few days.
He didn't know why the crabs were so delicious, but they were the best crabs he had ever eaten, so he said, "You can't play football with us without football shoes. If you share some mantis shrimp with me tomorrow, then we can play football together."
"Okay." Zhang Wu agreed without even thinking about it. He was tired of the spiced blue crabs at home and found them too troublesome to chew.
If there are crabs these days, he would share them with his classmates.
Then he found that the classmates who originally refused to play football with him now were willing to do so, and the classmates and the student sitting in front of him who originally ignored him now often talked to him.
He didn't quite understand why, but he knew that his classmates seemed to like the crabs made by his mother, so he would bring a portion of spiced blue crabs over every few days.
After Zhang Ze bought some cloth, three beautiful dresses and some ready-made clothes for Zhang's mother.
I also bought some malted milk and other food and drinks before leaving the department store, but when I came out, I found that it was already past five o'clock.
So he put his things on the bicycle and rode home in a hurry.
As soon as I got home and walked in with my things, I saw Zhang Wu standing in the living room with his head down. Tong Shuyao was not helping in the shop next door, but was talking to him.
"What's going on?" Zhang Ze pushed the bicycle into the house and asked hurriedly without even bothering to take out his things.
Tong Shuyao had a look of helplessness on her face: "Awu fell while playing football, and there were two holes on the knees of his pants, and his shoes were broken, and then he was beaten by his mother. I stopped him and brought him here."
Only then did Zhang Ze notice Zhang Wu's pants and shoes. The cloth in front of his shoes was completely torn.
Today's playgrounds are not rubber playgrounds. They are covered with yellow mud, and it is easy to slip and fall when running in cloth shoes.
Zhang Wu seemed a little afraid that he would blame himself, so he hid behind Tong Shuyao and explained: "Brother, I just want to play football with my classmates. They didn't want to play with me at first, saying that I didn't have football shoes. It was only because I promised to bring them some mantis shrimps tomorrow that they were willing to add me."
Zhang Ze was stunned, and Tong Shuyao also looked a little surprised. Both of them didn't expect that their classmates didn't want to play with him before.
"I was negligent. I didn't buy you football shoes. Football shoes are the best for playing football. Other shoes are not good. They are easy to slip and fall."
Zhang Ze went over and rubbed Zhang Wu's head and spoke gently.
After coming to Wenshui City, he has been busy with other things and indeed ignored Zhang Wu's rash transfer of schools, especially the possible exclusion of rural children after transferring to urban schools.
Moreover, his younger brother was carefree and heartless, and there was nothing unusual about him after coming back from school, so he didn't notice it.
"Shuyao, tell mom that I'm taking Awu to buy clothes and shoes and will be back soon." Zhang Ze said as he took down the backpack hanging on the bicycle and handed it to her.
"I came back today and bought some cloth, as well as three dresses for you, Aqian and Aqing, one each. Mom also has clothes. You should put these things away first, and put the cloth aside for now. I plan to buy a sewing machine, and then you can make clothes."
"You bought so many things?"
Tong Shuyao took the backpack with surprise, but when she thought about Zhang Ze's ability to make money, she was not that surprised.
"I see. If you want to take Wu to buy clothes and shoes, take him to change into clean clothes first. His pants and shoes are so torn, how will he look when he goes out?"
Zhang Ze thought about it and it made sense, so he took Zhang Wu to his room and asked him to take a shower and change into clean clothes.
Zhang's mother downstairs naturally saw the two of them, but seeing that he had returned, she did not say anything to her younger son, but continued to be busy with her own business.
After Zhang Wu finished taking a shower and changing his clothes, Zhang Ze rode his bicycle and took him back to the department store.
He had seen the football shoes before when he was buying clothes. There were also ready-made clothes for children there.
Originally, he wanted to ask the woman at home to make a few new clothes for Zhang Wu when she had time, but now it seems that he should just buy two sets first.
