Chapter 042: What do you want to buy after you make money?
"You're back?"
I saw my son and daughter-in-law come back.
Chen Fenglan immediately shouted as well.
"Um."
"We set off forty fish traps today."
Fang Hao nodded and said casually.
He and Fang Qiang had a long and complicated relationship.
It seems my father, Fang Dajun, was right; setting up a fish trap is indeed not as simple as it seems.
At the very least, it requires manpower and time.
If you can't endure hardship, you won't last long in this job.
After all, setting up fish traps is only the first step.
Next, we'll need to collect the fish traps and such!
"Thanks for your hard work."
"Get ready to eat."
"Your dad should be back around the same time..."
Chen Fenglan said with some heartache.
My son has never suffered much hardship.
Even if they were born in the countryside, they didn't have to do any work. From childhood to adulthood, they were the apple of their family's eye, and everyone wanted to hold them in their hands.
Now I see how hard he works and how diligent he is.
Chen Fenglan felt both relieved and heartbroken.
But mostly I was happy!
Previously, Fang Hao spent his days hanging out with those frivolous friends, eating, drinking, and causing trouble, which caused his wife and son a lot of worry.
This is also when Fang Hao said he wanted to get a fish trap.
The reason she supported it without hesitation.
Let's put aside whether he succeeds or not for now.
It's always good to have something to do.
"Um."
"Honey, turn on the water pump for me."
Fang Hao nodded.
Then he said to Song Yaxin.
I was about to draw water from the well to wash my hands and feet, but setting up the trap made me all dirty.
"Can you collect that many traps tomorrow? Do you need my help?"
Chen Fenglan continued to ask.
She never expected her son to set up so many traps.
There's a lot of work to be done tomorrow when we collect the fish traps; it won't be something that can be done easily.
If we can't handle it all.
She went to help.
"Need not."
"I can handle it with the Yankees."
Fang Hao shook his head directly.
Two people should be able to manage.
It just takes a little more time.
"Hiro!"
"You've set off so many traps... but be careful they don't get stolen, then all your work will be for nothing."
Chen Fenglan also shared this concern.
After all, fish traps are often stolen!
What's more, it would really hurt to lose a few of the newly bought fish traps.
That's all money!
It's inevitable that some people will have wicked thoughts.
You have to understand that petty theft is perfectly normal these days.
"Mom!"
"There are only thieves who steal for a thousand days, not people who guard against thieves all day long. I suppose there aren't many people in the village who would dare to lay a finger on me..."
Fang Hao couldn't help but shake his head.
The other party's reminder was reasonable.
After all, with forty fish traps placed on the other side of the ocean, it's hard to guarantee that someone won't just take a few.
"You! What if you really get robbed?"
"Then we'll have your second brother-in-law come and investigate. Catching them once or twice might scare them off..."
Chen Fenglan continued.
After all, having a son-in-law who is a deputy director can still serve as a deterrent to some extent.
In addition, Fang Hao's notorious reputation in the village makes him someone not to be trifled with, so he should have a certain deterrent effect.
"..."
Fang Hao nodded.
A two-pronged approach should be somewhat effective.
In the subsequent chat.
Chen Fenglan's conversation also revolved around the topic of fish traps.
After all, this was not only Fang Hao's first business venture, but he also directly took most of the family fortune of Fang Dajun and Chen Fenglan.
This is arguably the most important event for the Fang family recently.
Naturally, we hope he can succeed!
……
night.
After finishing the meal.
Fang Hao and Song Yaxin also took a shower and went back to their room early.
"Honey! Get some rest!"
"I have to get up tomorrow to collect the traps..."
Fang Hao said to Song Yaxin.
Now that I have serious things to do, I can't sleep in like I used to.
If you sleep until the sun shines on your butt.
Everything inside the cage is dead.
Generally, the fish traps should be retrieved immediately after the tide recedes so that the seafood inside remains alive.
"Um."
I want to go with you tomorrow too.
Song Yaxin nodded and spoke up.
Compared to using fish traps.
The anticipation for collecting the fish traps is even greater.
This is like buying a lottery ticket!
They were definitely hoping to win the lottery.
We released so many fish traps into the sea today, so naturally we were hoping to catch something.
"sure!"
Fang Hao readily agreed.
Song Yaxin can also help with the sorting then.
A typical fish trap can catch all sorts of things: fish, shrimp, crabs, snails, and other random odds and ends.
The main purpose is to separate out the better seafood so that it is easier to sell and make money.
"Uh-huh."
Song Yaxin nodded.
Then he lay down on the bed.
After these few days of adjustment, I'm no longer as fearful and apprehensive as I was on my wedding night.
"Wife."
"When we make money."
What do you want to buy?
Fang Hao also lay down.
Then he asked Song Yaxin a question.
What do you want to do after you have money?
Everyone has their own wishes.
Having shared a bed with Song Yaxin for so many years in my past life, I really don't know what her wishes are or what she wants to do.
"Um?"
"If possible, I'd like to buy a radio cassette player to listen to music and radio stations..."
Fang Hao's question.
In an instant, Song Yaxin's thoughts were freed.
Actually, there are many more things I want to do after I have money.
One is family and life, the other is material and spiritual pursuits.
Song Yaxin's aspirations are not high.
I don't crave luxury homes, luxury cars, or any other luxuries.
What I really wanted to buy was a Red Lantern brand tape recorder, which could play tapes and also function as a radio.
This thing is still very popular.
"Uh...that's it?"
Fang Hao also felt a little sad.
I never expected my partner to have such low standards.
My greatest pursuit of enjoyment is simply buying a radio to listen to music.
Even if you grit your teeth now, you can afford it; there's no need to wait until you earn the money.
but!
Rural families generally wouldn't spend this money; money should be spent wisely.
"Um."
Song Yaxin nodded.
In her opinion, this was already a luxury.
"Wife!"
"I'll take care of this myself."
"I'll work hard to earn money! Then I'll not only buy a radio, but also a TV, and a motorcycle..."
Fang Hao patted his chest and said.
Suddenly, I had a goal in mind.
We must fulfill Song Yaxin's simple "dream" no matter what. Once he catches those big yellow croakers and has his first pot of gold, buying a motorcycle won't be a problem.
You know, these days in the countryside, owning a motorcycle is really cool and a status symbol.
Absolutely enviable!
"Pfft~"
Listening to Fang Hao's grandiose promises.
Song Yaxin couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Although I felt he was bragging, everyone loves to hear sweet words.
At least it provides some emotional value, which is better than those that don't even offer an empty promise.
