Chapter 33: Grandpa Sending Treasures
(Most of the previous chapter has been revised. Those handsome guys who have read it before 11 o'clock last night can read it again.) "Zhang Ze, he's a good guy. But why are you asking about him? Could it be that he also had a blind date with the girl from your island?" Zhang Huihong was not sure whether it was the girl's family who came to inquire, so she tried to test it.
The middle-aged woman didn't know that she was facing Zhang Ze's mother. She laughed softly and said, "My niece is very pretty. There are many young men who want to see her."
"My sister-in-law said that the young man named Zhang Ze fell in love with my niece at first sight. He is from the same village as Zhang Guodong, so I asked around. From what you said, that young man is not bad?"
Zhang Huihong understood, this was exactly what her son had said to her.
Apparently, the girl's family was worried after suffering a loss, so they came to inquire about the matter.
She immediately grabbed the middle-aged woman's hand and said with a warm smile, "Oh, young man Zhang Ze, you finally asked the right person."
"The young man is tall and strong, and he works hard. But his family doesn't have a pillar. He died while catching enemy spies ten years ago, so his life was not easy before."
Many people care about single-parent families, especially in an era when men can support a family.
So Zhang Huihong didn't plan to hide it. These things would be known by others once they inquired, so it couldn't be hidden.
"Is that so!" When the middle-aged woman heard this, she muttered to herself that the young man her sister-in-law liked didn't seem to come from a well-off family! Without a man at home, she had to rely on him. After getting married, not only was there no help from the family, but there was also a burden?
"But life is much better now. Zhang Ze is a capable young man. He usually goes to the county town to do some work to earn some money to supplement the family income."
Naturally, Zhang Huihong would not say much about her son selling seafood. Even though they became in-laws, these things were difficult to talk about.
In the past few years, she has seen many people who personally reported their family members for the sake of justice. Although speculation and profiteering are not as serious as some other things, it still needs to be guarded against.
Of course, the most important thing is that Zhang Huihong didn’t know that her son had already cooperated with his future in-laws.
It was because of this that the Tong family asked relatives to come and inquire so quickly.
"It seems that he is indeed a good young man. As long as he is diligent and can live a down-to-earth life, my niece will not have a hard time marrying him." After hearing this, the middle-aged woman nodded in understanding and said something politely.
The jealousy that I originally had in my heart suddenly disappeared because of Zhang Ze's family background.
As a relative, she is naturally happy for her niece who is marrying here and living a good life.
But nowadays, every family has a daughter. When other families live better than hers and their daughters marry better, it is impossible for her to say that she doesn't have some thoughts in her heart.
Now that she knows that the boy her sister-in-law likes comes from an average family, maybe only slightly better than the ones on the island, she feels more balanced.
With the result in hand, the middle-aged woman didn't think of asking further. She just said a few more polite words and left Qinghe Village.
Zhang Huihong looked at the woman who left and shook her head: "After all, she is just a sister-in-law. She is not reliable, so why bother asking more questions?"
However, the Tong family has already asked someone to inquire about it, so she felt that she should speed up the process.
So he went back to the Fang family and asked the matchmaker to go there tomorrow and make an appointment with the Tong family to have his son go there so that the marriage can be finalized as soon as possible.
In the county town, Zhang Ze was still unaware that his mother had already arranged everything for the blind date.
After he bought the flashlight, seeing that there was still time, he decided to try his luck at the black market to see if he could find a ticket seller and get some battery tickets. Otherwise, even if his flashlight was repaired, it would be useless without batteries.
At the same time, I also looked around to see if there were any big roosters for sale so that I could have chicken in the evening.
"Hey, young man!"
When passing by West Street, a slightly familiar voice was heard. Zhang Ze turned around and saw that it was the old man who bought him the big mandarin fish.
He Weiping was seen holding a bamboo pole and wearing a bamboo hat, as if he was about to go out fishing.
"Hey, uncle, long time no see. Are you going fishing?" With some curiosity, Zhang Ze came over.
"The mandarin fish you caught last time was good. My grandson wanted to eat more. I haven't been able to buy mandarin fish recently, so I thought about fishing by myself." He Weiping picked up his bamboo pole to show off, "Look, how is my fishing pole?"
"Uncle, can you make fishing rods?" Zhang Ze picked up the fishing rod and looked at it carefully. He found that the bamboo pole was very tough, with a straight body and was made quite well.
"Well, my family had nothing to eat before, but I relied on my fishing skills to support the whole family. When it comes to making fishing rods, no one in this area of West Street can compare to mine."
Listening to He Weiping's self-praise, Zhang Ze felt that his bamboo pole was indeed well made.
I held it in my hand and shook it gently. The tip of the rod was soft and elastic, and the rod body was also tough. It might be no problem to catch a big fish weighing twenty or thirty kilograms.
A well-made bamboo pole these days can be used as a fishing rod for large fish. You can't think of fishing fish weighing over a hundred pounds, but you can still fish under fifty pounds. It all depends on whether the fishing line can hold up.
Zhang Ze was immediately tempted by such a nice fishing rod.
Although hand fishing is convenient, how can a fisherman live without a fishing rod? He was not very good at making a bamboo rod. When he became interested in fishing, he already had a carbon rod, so there was no need for him to spend time making a bamboo rod.
Otherwise, even if the bamboo was of poor quality, he would just get one for himself.

After his rebirth, he can make money from his hobbies, and he even has a plug-in to assist his hobbies. He is very satisfied with his life after rebirth.
He had originally planned to slow down his pace of making money after this busy period was over and he got married, then enjoy his fishing life and wait for the awakening of the self-employed economy.
Now if there is a good fishing rod, that would be even better.
So he asked tentatively: "Uncle, I actually like fishing too, but I don't know how to make a fishing rod, and I don't know which bamboo to choose. How about you teach me?"
"There are no mandarin fish in the rivers of Yuewan County, and my village won't let you go fishing. If your grandson wants to eat mandarin fish in the future, I'll bring it to you. What do you think?"
Hearing this, He Weiping showed a smug smile on his face. Why did he specifically call out to Zhang Ze and show him the fishing rod after seeing him? Wasn't it just to tempt him to take the bait!
Last time, when he caught the big mandarin fish, he knew it was caught after seeing the wound on the fish's mouth.
Secondly, he had caught crucian carp, grass carp and black carp during this period, but he had not found mandarin fish.
Moreover, he was old and had difficulty catching slightly larger fish, so when he happened to meet Zhang Ze, he set his sights on him.
Of course, showing the fishing rod was also a test, and he was not completely sure. If it didn't work, he still planned to buy a mandarin fish from the other party.
"It's not that quick to make bamboo poles. It takes at least three months to cut a bamboo and let it dry. Then it has to be straightened by roasting it over fire. Do you have that much time?"
"How about this? You send me a mandarin fish tomorrow and I'll exchange my fishing rod for yours."
Zhang Ze was stunned. He didn't expect that the person in front of him was an old man who was giving him treasures. However, since this was a good thing that would benefit both parties, he naturally agreed without hesitation.
"Uncle, the mandarin fish is fine, but you gave me the fishing rod, what about you?"
He Weiping waved his hand: "I have plenty of fishing rods, and I have two at home."
So many? Zhang Ze looked at the almost brand new fishing rod in his hand, and felt like he was being tricked.
