Wu An came out of Lao Xie's shop and saw that the dock was bustling with people. They were all villagers preparing to go out to sea the next day, checking fishing boats, purchasing ingredients, moving boxes, and so on. The scene was very lively.
It's just like celebrating the Chinese New Year.
The fishing season is about to begin.
For fishermen, it is indeed similar to the Lunar New Year.
The fishing moratorium these past few months has really made the villagers anxious. They haven't been able to earn much money for months, so it's no wonder they're worried and frustrated.
As soon as dawn breaks, many villagers set sail in their boats, racing against time to reach their target sea area for operations.
We need to capitalize on this great start and make money quickly!
Fishermen, you know.
Besides the fishing moratorium, which prevents fishing from going out to sea, wind and rain also prevent fishing from going out to sea. At least half of the year, fishing is not possible.
Earn a year's worth of money in six months!
Therefore, they need to work desperately to earn money on days when they can go out to sea. Many fishermen work non-stop for a whole day and night when they are lucky.
It really makes money.
It was really tough.
Wu An was not in a hurry.
He decided to get a good night's sleep to recharge and then head out to sea around 5 or 6 a.m., when it was just getting light. The main purpose of this trip was to set traps and use longline fishing.
The second is to practice throwing the net.
If you still have extra luck points, go fishing or find a deserted island to go beachcombing.
As for netting or trawl netting, he is not considering them for the time being.
On the one hand, they weren't lucky enough; on the other hand, their fishing boats weren't very big; and most importantly, they didn't have enough people to work.
Now, including Mai Hangyu, there are three people.
Tomorrow is Monday.
Wu Ping knew his older brother had to go to school and couldn't go out to sea with them. Even if they made more money at sea, Wu Ping never considered leaving the school.
actually.
He doesn't really earn much money as a teacher.
Even someone who works in a factory tightening screws would earn far more than he, as a teacher.
Yet he has remained steadfast in his post for nearly ten years!
At school, he was not only a teacher but also in charge of logistics. In short, he did the most work and earned a salary that was not the lowest but rather below average.
Even so, he was happy to do it.
Wu Ping didn't think it was a big deal; it's about teaching and nurturing students, and Mei Yueqin supported it. Wu An felt sorry for his older brother, but since his sister-in-law hadn't said anything, he felt even more awkward about speaking up.
Just as Wu An and his two companions left, Lao Xie strolled over to Lao Chen's place, smoking a cigarette. Lao Chen's shop was quiet, and he was idly listening to the radio. When he saw Lao Xie approaching, he asked, "What's up?"
Old Xie chuckled and said, "Nothing much, I just got two female warriors from Wu An, and I'm so happy, I wanted to share it with you."
"It's better to share happiness than to enjoy it alone."
"Old Chen, are you happy?"
"I'm so happy, so happy I want to kill you!" Old Chen picked up a slipper and threw it at him, yelling, "Get lost!"
Old Xie dodged.
Then I kicked the slipper away. And you know what? I used to love playing soccer when I was younger, so I still have that basic skill. I kicked the slipper a long way.
Old Chen was so angry he jumped up and down, but naturally he couldn't catch up with Old Xie by hopping on one foot.
Those around them who saw this were also extremely amused.
"Old Chen, don't blame Old Xie for provoking you. It's your own fault for saying such nasty things before."
"To be honest, don't be envious of others. It's because you're short-sighted that Lao Xie got the good deal."
"Old Chen is probably going to be so angry he won't be able to sleep tonight."
Everyone joked that competitors are rivals, and it's not appropriate to tear each other apart, but a few teasing remarks are harmless. If Old Chen takes it seriously, he's just being rude.
Old Chen was cursing and swearing, which was strange. Despite Old Xie's provocation, he wasn't angry. Instead, he was furious with Wu An: "It's really weird that nothing happened to him."
He felt that Wu An was deliberately trying to disgust him by selling goods to Lao Xie.
If we're talking about who most wants Wu An to suffer misfortune, it has to be him.
It's probably because he doesn't want others to have what he can't have.
It was he who turned Wu An away in the first place, and he felt terrible watching Lao Xie make money off Wu An.
...
I'm home.
Wu Ping took out money and gave it to Mei Yueqin, who looked pleasantly surprised: "You were only gone for a few hours, and you earned so much?"
"Ah Ping, why don't you go fishing for a while after get off work sometime in the future?"
"You can earn quite a bit each month."
Wu Ping was overjoyed: "Great, great!"
He's really gotten hooked on fishing today; now he's holding the rod and wants to cast it a couple of times.
Mei Yueqin said, "Then I'll buy you fishing gear tomorrow."
Wu Ping was even happier.
Many men in the village go fishing secretly, and they have to endure the pressure of being scolded by their wives. But his wife is very supportive. How to describe this feeling...
Feeling warm all over, this is probably what "happiness" feels like.
Wu An checked the time and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll call the fishing tackle shop owner and ask if he's set off to deliver my goods. If not, I'll have him bring them directly."
As he spoke, he made a phone call.
He strongly supports his older brother going fishing to make money.
Although it's hard work, as long as he's at home and has a bit of luck, the older brother can easily make several hundred yuan a day.
My brother and sister-in-law are wealthy, so they live a comfortable and easy life.
Even if he has a lot of money, it's not good for him to keep giving it to his brother and sister-in-law.
Mr. Zhao said he was having dinner and would deliver the food after he finished eating.
He was even happier to learn that Wu An wanted to order two sets of the same fishing gear as before, and readily agreed.
My sister-in-law asked how much the fishing gear cost.
Wu An told the truth.
His sister-in-law gave him the money, and he didn't refuse. He believed in keeping things separate; his brother and sister-in-law were buying fishing gear, and he didn't need to get involved. He should just accept the money as it was due.
After we finish eating.
Mr. Zhao also brought over fish traps, longline fishing rods, and casting nets, which were unloaded directly at the dock.
Cash on delivery.
With three casting nets, ten shrimp traps, ten crab traps, and a 1,000-meter longline, their equipment was not meager compared to that of other fishing boats.
But it's rather complicated.
Generally, fishing boats from villages go out to sea specifically for net fishing, fish trap fishing, or longline fishing, unlike them who try to do a little bit of everything.
Mr. Zhao, being knowledgeable, pointed out that the current situation was somewhat chaotic and offered a tactful reminder. Seeing that Wu An didn't seem to mind, he didn't say anything more.
There weren't many items, so they didn't ask Aqing for help; the group simply placed the fish traps directly on the fishing boat.
The fishing boats are actually the safest because they have surveillance cameras.
After returning from the dock, Wu An went straight back to his old house.
After a day of scheming and fishing, I was exhausted both mentally and physically. I took a quick shower and lay down on the bed feeling quite energetic, but after only a few minutes of playing on my phone, my eyelids started to droop.
As soon as the lights were turned off, he started snoring.
He didn't sleep very well in the latter half of the night because many villagers chose to go out to sea in the early morning due to the opening of the fishing season, making the beach very noisy.
When the alarm clock rang, he sat up yawning, took a while to calm down, and went to open the door. He was startled when he opened the door.
