They ate and drank their fill.
Wu An left with a cheerful smile.
Finally, I clinked glasses with my dad. I didn't drink much, but he got a little tipsy.
That's great.
Although his father hasn't verbally expressed his forgiveness, he has actually accepted him back into his life.
After all, he actually did a legitimate job and even made money.
Family is family. Even if his father kicks him out of the house, he will still be unconditionally accepted back as long as he repents.
Facing the sea breeze, Wu An hummed a little tune as he walked towards the old house.
Back home.
After a quick wash, I lay down on the bed, turned on the electric fan, and started thinking about making money.
He currently has quite a few beachcombing tools at his disposal: tongs, sand shovels, rakes, and fishing rods, which are basically enough for his needs at the beach.
If you're lucky enough, you can make a lot of money.
However, there are also significant hidden dangers. He attracts too much attention by the sea. The reason he goes fishing is because the weather is so good for sea voyages that villagers will follow him or go to the places he frequents.
Even when fishing, there are other anglers around. Today, quite a few people asked him and Aqing where they went fishing. He and Aqing didn't say anything, but Sister Duan was very quick to speak and said that they went to the East Town Sluice Gate to fish.
Those villagers who enjoyed fishing immediately went home to get their fishing gear.
He tried mentioning buying a fishing boat today, and his father, brother, and sister-in-law didn't say anything, but he also knew that his family didn't support him.
But he still needs to buy a fishing boat.
On the one hand, constantly moving from one place to another is not a long-term solution; on the other hand, having a fishing boat would allow him to use more tools.
For example, longline fishing, fish traps, and casting nets.
These tools can't be used at the beach; you have to go out to sea by boat. It's hard to say whether they can make more money than fishing.
But it's definitely the least strenuous.
Especially fish traps.
With a bit of luck, just put some bait in the fish trap, throw it into the sea, and retrieve it after half a day or a day.
With a bit of luck, you're bound to reap rewards.
Not to mention longline fishing and casting nets; if you're lucky enough, one cast might yield more fish than you could catch in an hour or two of fishing.
The key is to make money quickly.
By accumulating initial capital as quickly as possible and having money in his pocket, he can easily achieve financial freedom in the future if he wants to invest and ride the wave of opportunity.
Otherwise, if you don't have enough spare money and only know about some future opportunities, you can only watch them with longing eyes, which would be incredibly frustrating.
But making money can't be rushed.
Fishing boats aren't something you can just buy on a whim.
He planned to ask around to see if anyone wanted to sell a boat. Second-hand boats are cheaper and you can start sailing right away. New boats are of course even better, but he would have to go to the shipyard to find out more.
In this regard, he was a complete novice, knew nothing, and had to learn everything.
...
Wu Ping helped Mei Yueqin tidy up, while Wu Yingwei and Lao Meng sat in the pavilion in the courtyard, smoking and drinking tea.
"Hua Zi, this is what Ah An bought. Do you like it?" Old Meng said, lighting a cigarette for Wu Yingwei and then lighting one for himself. He added, "Even my son has never bought me such expensive cigarettes."
"It's not appropriate to take these cigarettes out to smoke outside," Wu Yingwei said, smacking his lips. "I only smoke them at home."
Old Meng laughed: "Don't pretend to be innocent after getting a good deal."
“I think Ah An is studying hard now, and he will definitely have a bright future.”
"Your days will be easier from now on."
Wu Yingwei remained silent, squinting as he smoked. In truth, he was quite pleased. Putting aside the worries at work, returning home was indeed a great relief.
Looking back at the kitchen, I could vaguely hear Mei Yueqin and Wu An chatting and laughing; at least there were no more sighs or lamentations in the house.
No need for later.
Things are much better now.
Just as she finished her cigarette, Mei Yueqin and Wu An came out of the kitchen. Mei Yueqin said she was going back to her parents' home tomorrow, and Wu Yingwei told her to buy some nutritional supplements to take with her.
“Okay.” Mei Yueqin said in a slightly boastful tone, “Erzi asked me to take those two groupers with me.”
Wu Yingwei nodded and said nothing more.
...
The next morning.
Wu An was woken up by a phone call from Foreman Li.
Foreman Li called to say that he would be bringing workers to Lao Wu's place to repair the roof later, and that the bricks and tiles would be delivered first, so he should be ready to receive the goods.
Hang up the phone.
Wu An glanced at his phone; it was only six o'clock in the morning.
That's early enough.
This is normal. The sun is too strong and the temperature is too high at noon, so the workers can't work. They have to rest until 3 p.m. and then work until dark.
Basically, I only work eight or nine hours a day.
Get up and wash up.
I glanced at the system.
Luck value: 68 (5)
Wu Anren was completely numb.
With that much luck, you can only earn a few coins. If you're fishing, you'll probably use it all up in less than an hour.
Thankfully, he had to help keep an eye on things while the roof was being repaired today. Not only did we work together, but he also provided lunch. Otherwise, the whole day would have been wasted.
"Could it be that the system saw I was too tired, so it gave me a day off?"
Wu An muttered to himself.
He told the system that it was unnecessary.
In his past life, he had suffered enough of the hardships of wandering in foreign lands and being penniless. Now that he can earn money and make his family happy, no matter how tired he is, it's not hard work at all.
Call Lao Jiang.
Old Jiang was still asleep when he started complaining about why someone was making a phone call so early in the morning.
Wu An asked him to deliver two bottles of beer and a case of drinks, and Lao Jiang immediately changed his attitude, saying he would deliver the goods right away.
Just as Lao Jiang arrived, a tricycle delivered bricks and tiles.
He didn't leave; he even helped unload the goods.
Wu An quickly expressed his gratitude.
Old Jiang waved his hand: "Your dad has helped me a lot."
Wu An smiled. To be honest, it's no exaggeration to say that half the village has owed his father a debt of gratitude, but not many people remember it.
He had often taken Aqing to Lao Jiang's shop to "steal things" without permission, but Lao Jiang didn't hold it against him, all because of his father's sake.
He said, "Old Jiang, you deserve to make a fortune in the future."
Old Jiang was taken aback: "You talk as if you know I'll become rich in the future."
Wu An said, "I think you can."
Old Jiang smiled and said, "Thank you for your kind words."
In the future, they will develop tourism in this area, and Lao Jiang seems to have transformed into a homestay owner. No one knows exactly how much money he has made, but A Qing always calls him "General Manager Jiang".
Look.
These are all opportunities to make money.
But if he doesn't have money, he can only watch others get rich.
As soon as Lao Jiang left, A Qing ran over, bringing breakfast: "Brother, my mom just made these pancakes. These were specially made for you."
"If you don't have enough to eat, I'll go back and get more."
Wu An sat down and quickly said, "That's enough, that's enough."
Aqing sat down and said, "Have you heard? Lin Bin and Lin Hu got into a fight, a really bad one. Lin Bin just came back from the hospital this morning."
"I just passed by and peeked over the wall for a while, but I didn't see what Lin Bin looked like. However, I did see the Lin family taking Lin Hu to Lin Bin's house."
"Lin Hu was very dissatisfied. If the Lin family hadn't stopped him, he would have beaten Lin Bin."
Wu An nodded: "I heard it from my dad yesterday."
Aqing lowered her voice and asked, "Uncle Wu didn't know it was you who did it, did he?"
Wu An stared wide-eyed.
My dad only mentioned it briefly yesterday, and no one asked any further questions at the time. He still doesn't know why Lin Hu and Lin Bin fought and fell out.
What does it have to do with him that these two are fighting?
