Chapter 144 The wind is too strong, so let’s go to the sea first
. “It’s not easy to go to Hong Kong Island from China now. On the contrary, it may be more convenient for businessmen there to come here. Besides, we don’t know anything about your grandmother’s situation. If your parents go there rashly, they may be like headless flies wandering around.”
Zhang Ze did not support his father-in-law and mother-in-law going to look for relatives without any preparation.
The two of them are not young anymore, and it is too tiring for them to take the train to Nanfang. Once they arrive, it will not be easy to pass the immigration process, let alone anything else.
It was around 1985 that the country opened up the policy of visiting relatives in Hong Kong Island from the inland areas. At that time, it was not so difficult to go to Hong Kong Island.
"If your grandmother is doing well in Hong Kong Island, we can let them come to the mainland in the name of investment. This way it will be much more convenient to meet in the country. When they come to Nanfang, we will bring my parents over."
Tong Yuanhang and the others looked at him in shock after hearing this.
"Aze, how do you know so much?"
Zhang Ze was stunned, then spread his hands: "Okay, I'll tell you the truth! In fact, I have always considered developing in Nanfang, so I specially learned about it."
"And when my mother-in-law gave me the land title, I also knew about my grandmother's family situation. At that time, I guessed that they might have gone to Hong Kong Island or Taiwan."
"I thought we might be able to get in touch again someday, so I paid special attention to the situation in these two places."
"So that's how it is!" Tong Yuanhang and others nodded suddenly.
Tong Shuyao knew that he was paying attention to Hong Kong Island mainly because of her, and she was touched and hugged his arm: "Aze, you are so nice!"
Zhang Ze looked down at his wife's big watery eyes and smiled slightly. He was indeed concerned about Hong Kong Island because of his wife.
But I didn't ask about it specifically. These are things I knew in my previous life.
Not to mention how to get to Hong Kong Island, he didn't even know how developed Nanfang was now. He couldn't find out about this in Wenshui City, he had to go there.
"So what should we do now?" Tong Yuanhang asked.
"Have mom write back to grandma and tell her about our situation. Let her know that we are safe and at ease. Then tell her if it is possible to come to the mainland to invest and develop. The mainland market is now open and there are business opportunities everywhere. It is definitely easier to make money than in Hong Kong Island. It depends on whether your uncles and cousins dare to come."
My mother-in-law and her family had to leave because they were probably afraid that the situation in the mainland would recur. If they didn't dare to come, they could only communicate through letters for the time being.
"Is that so? Then I can only ask mom to reply first." Tong Yuanhang nodded and felt relieved.
He had previously felt that it was inappropriate for his parents to go visit his grandmother's family, but he fully understood how much his mother missed her family after so many years, so he didn't know how to persuade her.
Now after listening to Zhang Ze's words, he had some idea in his mind and decided to go back and persuade his parents to follow what his brother-in-law said step by step.
After Tong Yuanhang left, Tong Shuyao also wanted to take a nap. She boiled water for Zhang Ze to take a bath as she did before, and after he finished, she asked him to sleep with her.
Lying on the bed, she hugged the man and whispered, "Aze, are you really planning to develop in Nanguang?"
"We have considered this. Wenshui City is surrounded by mountains on three sides and is too small to develop. In the future, there will be a large number of people going out to explore the world, and the coastal areas in the south are very suitable."
Who made his golden finger only apply to fish caught by fishing? If the fish caught by net could also increase the experience points, Zhang Ze really had no intention of going to Nanfang.
How comfortable it is to stay in a familiar home. No place is better than your own doghouse. Besides, he is not very familiar with either the Hokkien of Fujian Province or the Cantonese of Southern Guangdong when he goes to the south. He can speak some but not fluently. He will have to learn the local dialect after he goes there.
But Zhang Ze was indeed coveting the various fish resources in the South China Sea. Going there would not only enable him to make money faster, but also upgrade his fishing space faster.
Feeling that the person in his arms seemed a little uneasy, he hugged her tightly and said gently: "If we really want to go there, I will take you over after I am fully prepared."
"If your grandmother and her family really come to the mainland to develop in the future, it will be convenient for us to meet and visit relatives if we move there."
"Well, as long as you don't leave me!" Tong Shuyao was panicking because she was afraid that Zhang Ze would go there to develop alone and leave her and the child here. When she heard that he would take her with him, she felt much more relieved.
If he hasn't gotten married after going to Nanfang, Zhang Ze might not plan to get married after he becomes rich, and go to Hong Kong Island to pick up female celebrities when he has the chance.
Those actresses in the 1980s and 1990s were the dream lovers of many men!
If you don't have a main wife, it might be a good idea to have mistresses outside.
But when I was just reborn, I never thought about going to Nanfang in the future, so I found a beautiful girl to marry.
Now that he's married, he naturally can't do that anymore. Besides, after being together for so long, even a stone would have warmed up. Although life has been dull for a year, it has rekindled his sense of responsibility towards his family.
He also really likes this wife who is a bit clingy but very sensible.
Zhang Ze himself has tasted the feeling of betrayal, so he will not do whatever he wants after being reborn, and then he will not become that kind of person and hurt a woman who depends on him both physically and mentally.
Now that he knew Tong Shuyao's family background, he understood why later generations often went to Lumen Island to fish and got to know many people on the island but had never heard of Tong Shuyao and her family.
I guess they have contacted their grandma in Hong Kong Island and the whole family has moved away! After taking a rest in the afternoon, Zhang Ze heard a "woohoo" sound as soon as he woke up. It was the sound of the strong wind outside blowing against the gaps in the window.
He was a little surprised. Everything was fine in the morning, but he didn't expect a strong wind to blow in the afternoon.
He looked at his watch and realized he had only slept for half an hour. Seeing that his wife was still sleeping, he got up quietly, slightly opened the curtains and took a look.
I found that it was not raining outside and there were no dark clouds in the sky, but there were many white clouds that blocked the sun.
It seems that it is just a bit windy today, and it is unlikely to rain. But such things are unpredictable, and the weather in coastal areas is unpredictable.
So the original plan to go out to sea in the afternoon had to be cancelled. He planned to turn on the radio at six o'clock in the evening to listen to the weather forecast before making any decision.
When he came downstairs, Zhang Ze found that Zhang's mother did not open the shop in the afternoon, but was making clothes on the sewing machine next to him. Looking at the small size of the clothes, it was obvious that they were made for the child.
"Mom, the store is closed this afternoon?"
"It's so windy outside, all the sand and dirt are blown into the pot, how can I open it?"
"That's right!" Zhang Ze nodded. It was only half past one and there was no mobile phone or TV. For a moment, he felt bored with nothing to do.
He heard the weather forecast and thought it was not a good time to go out to sea, so he thought about it and decided to go fishing.
With such strong winds and waves, maybe we can find a lot of good things.
"Mom, do you have any dried noodles at home?"
"Yes, I just bought a lot yesterday morning. What's wrong?"
"Let's cook some vermicelli tonight. I'll go to the beach to get some good food and make you three-fresh vermicelli tonight."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Three fresh noodles?"
Zhang's mother was confused. The three-fresh noodles came from a fishing village in Wenshui City. In an era when transportation and information were slow to spread, she didn't know what the so-called three-fresh noodles were.
Maybe three fresh noodles have not been invented yet, and the dish there is still a pot of seafood stew.
"You'll know in the evening!" Zhang Ze hung two bamboo baskets on the back seat of the bicycle, and then brought the fire tongs for making fire in the kitchen.
After leaving home, he did not go directly to the beach, but first bought a mesh colander and then rode his bicycle to the dock and the boat.
The coast of Wenshui City is basically mudflats, with no large and famous beaches. The sea water here is mainly yellow-green and not clear, so it is not a good place to develop seaside tourist attractions.
As for the mountains, there is a 5A-level scenic spot.
So Zhang Ze is now going to Lumen Island, where there is a small beach with reefs on both sides, where you can find a lot of good things.
He didn't go to the open sea, so he sailed near the shore and was not afraid of strong winds.
When they arrived at Lumen Island and approached the pier, Zhang Ze saw Tong Yuanhang's fishing boat. It was obvious that he came here directly after chatting with him in the morning.
Since he was here, he went to visit his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
The door to the house was open. When he walked into the house, he found that Tong Yuanhang and others had come with their wives. The big and small bags in the house were almost packed. It looked like his father-in-law and mother-in-law were going to move to Wenshui City! "Aze, why are you here?" Lu Man was a little surprised to find his son-in-law at the door.
"I was going to the beach to scoop up the seawater, and when I saw Ah Hang's boat, I came over to take a look." Zhang Ze rolled up his sleeves and said with a smile, "It seems like I came at the right time, with so many things I can just help."
"Yes, yes, you've arrived just in time. Come on, tie this package to your bicycle and send it to my boat." Tong Yuanhang immediately picked up a large package and placed it on the back seat of his bicycle, then tied it up with a rope.
Seeing this, Lu Man just smiled and said nothing. Her son-in-law was half her son, and what's more, he was the husband of her most beloved youngest daughter and was very capable. She already regarded Zhang Ze as her own son, so she didn't act so polite on the surface.
It was just that Zhang Ze was a little late, otherwise he would have discovered that his mother-in-law had a different attitude towards him and his eldest son-in-law. At least she seemed a little polite when his eldest son-in-law came.
It's not that I hate him or think he's incompetent or anything like that. People who shout louder and smile more are always more likely to gain favor from others.
This is the difference between Zhang Ze and his brother-in-law. Honest people are quiet and just work hard. They even need others to remind them to do many things. Naturally, they are not so likable and will gradually be ignored.
After helping to move the things from his mother-in-law's house onto the boat and saying goodbye to them, Zhang Ze continued riding towards the beach.
There are two ways to the beach. One is a shorter way that goes straight up and down. The other way is for you to ride a bicycle, but it is usually used by ox carts.
This was a downhill road, so Zhang Ze just rode his bike and used inertia to get to the beach. It was much easier than taking the small path, and it didn't take any longer.
It will be tiring to come back later because you have to walk uphill.
Fishermen are used to fishing, and no one comes to the beach to dredge the sea at all.
Zhang Ze hid the bicycle in the grass and locked it, then carried a bamboo basket and walked towards the beach.
The road was not far, and the waves were hitting the beach again and again. He calculated in his mind that it should be the calm period before low tide. It was now 2:30, and the tide would start to ebb at about 3:15.
Looking at the beach in front of him, it was clean and just sand on the surface, but Zhang Ze knew that there were a lot of delicious food hidden beneath the sand.
But you have to use a colander to scoop it out when the tide is out. The areas currently submerged by sea water are where you can really find good things.
So he took out a pair of fire tongs from his backpack and went to take a look at the nearby reef.
