Chapter 858 Ding Dawen's Path to Progress

"What do you do!"

"You're so grown up! Still so irritable!"

Ding Lihua glared at Ding Dawen fiercely.

Ding Dawen opened his mouth to say something but didn't say anything and sat down in silence.

Ding Xiaoxiang shook her head in her heart. Her cousin Ding Daben had such a personality and temper. She would never speak out when she was wronged. She could only accept what others said and most of the time she could only sulk by herself.

"Second uncle!"

"Brother Dawen thinks this job can be done. What do you think?"

Ding Xiaoxiang knew that the decision on this matter must be made by her second uncle Ding Lihua.

Ding Lihua carefully considered for ten minutes, nodded, and agreed.

The job Ding Xiaoxiang mentioned was really not difficult. It just required watching the fish caught by Zhao Dahai, loading them onto the fishing boat, and then sending them back to the dock. Ding Dawen didn't even need to work at all, he just needed to wear glasses. The time at sea was not long, and the distance at sea was not too far. He was inevitably exposed to the wind and sun, but it was not hard to do anything. This kind of hard work was actually not hard at all.

Ding Dawen's personality was not suitable for doing business, and he couldn't take over the family business, but as a grown man, he had to find work to do and make money for himself. What Ding Xiaoxiang said was very suitable for Ding Dawen's personality.

"Second uncle!"

"Tomorrow morning, there will be a fishing boat going out to sea to pick up the fish caught by Zhao Dahai."

"I will go to sea with him and run a few times with my brother Dawen these few days, and you will know what's going on!"

"Eight thousand yuan a month."

Ding Xiaoxiang originally thought that even if his second uncle Ding Lihua and cousin Ding Dawen agreed to this matter and were willing to do it, it would take several days for them to quit their jobs and come back. Unexpectedly, cousin Ding Dawen was already at home, so there was nothing to say. He would go out to sea with her tomorrow and start working immediately.

"Xiaoxiang."

"Anything else is fine, but the salary is too high!"

"It's just going out to sea with a pair of eyes, and watching others work, why do you need so much money?"

"I know you want to give Ding Dawen more money, but this is not how it works."

"People from the town or surrounding villages who go out to sea, even if they work hard, only get this much money for a month."

"Five thousand yuan a month!"

"When your brother Dawen is familiar with these things, or can help more, give him a raise."

Ding Lihua agreed with what Ding Xiaoxiang said, but disagreed with the salary.

Ding Xiaoxiang thought about it and nodded. The salary she offered was indeed a bit high. It's not that she thinks Ding Dawen is not worth the money. In fact, the fish that Ding Dawen stared at were very important to her and Zhao Dahai, but this salary was indeed beyond the normal salary in towns and villages. If she insisted on this salary, Ding Lihua might not agree.

"Ha!"

"I have been staying at home for a few days, and I am really going to mold!"

Ding Dawen was very happy. He had been home for several days after losing his job and didn't know what to do. He knew very well that he was not good at business. It was really a headache to stay in the store every day. Ding Xiaoxiang immediately solved his job problem. This job was something he liked very much. He grew up by the sea and loved the sea very much.

Ding Xiaoxiang and Ding Dawen agreed to meet at the Langtou Village Pier tomorrow morning and left in a hurry. There were a lot of things on hand, and he had to do them one by one.

"Dad!"

"I think I can do this job, and I am willing to do it!"

"We grew up in a fishing village by the sea. It is really unaccustomed for us to go to other places to work!"

Ding Dawen and Ding Lihua sent Ding Xiaoxiang away and sat down on the sofa in the store. He was very excited when he spoke, and he really felt that he liked doing this kind of work.

"Hmph!"

"What's there to say? You just sit on a boat and go out to sea every day, watching others work, and you can earn 5,000 yuan a month. You can't find such a job even if you look for a lantern."

Ding Lihua glared at Ding Dawen. He was really not joking. If it wasn't Ding Xiaoxiang, if it wasn't Zhao Dahai, it would be impossible to offer such a salary. If it was someone else, it would be at most 3,000 yuan. The key is that such a job is very difficult to find.

"Ha!"

"Who said Ding Xiaoxiang is my cousin? With such a cousin and such a cousin-in-law, what's wrong with me taking advantage of her?"

"Just do your job honestly!"

Ding Dawen smiled. He knew his family's affairs. He really couldn't do other jobs, but this kind of work was not difficult for him. The salary of 8,000 or 5,000 yuan was too high. It was not worth the money for him to do such a thing. Ding Xiaoxiang must have been looking at the face of relatives. If Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang didn't make money, he would definitely not want this salary. But Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang not only made money but also made a lot of money. There was nothing wrong with this salary being a little high.

Ding Lihua nodded. That's what happened. It was precisely because of this that he returned a salary of 5,000 yuan. If it was too little, Ding Xiaoxiang would definitely not be happy. If he made a lot of money, and the relatives in his family were so stingy, it would not sound good if the news got out.

"You have to work hard and work seriously, and keep an eye on the fish Zhao Dahai has caught."

Ding Lihua reminded Ding Dawen, but he was not worried about this matter. Ding Dawen's character was very honest and simple. He could not do other things, but he would definitely have no problem with this kind of thing. If he did not have this skill and ability, and could not do this job well, he would not dare to agree to Ding Xiaoxiang.

"Dad!"

"Did Zhao Dahai really catch so many fish when he went out to sea?"

Ding Dawen was very curious about this matter. After returning from the Chinese New Year last year, he kept hearing people say that Zhao Dahai caught a lot of fish, not just a lot of fish, but really caught a lot of fish, which was amazing.

"Hmph!"

"If you didn't catch so many fish, why would you do this? Do you have to find another fishing boat to go out to sea and bring back the fish?"

"Wait until you go out to sea with him tomorrow and you'll know what's going on!"

Ding Lihua knew that Ding Dawen must be a little bit skeptical about this matter. This is not surprising. The fish Zhao Dahai caught are really not just a lot, but a lot. Normal people don't dare to believe such numbers. No matter how much such things are said, it's useless. Ding Dawen will know how many fish Zhao Dahai has caught if he goes out to sea with Ding Xiaoxiang every day.

"Hey!"

"What are you two talking about?"

Zhou Yu walked into the store and saw Ding Lihua and Ding Dawen looking very happy. It was a bit strange. Ding Dawen had lost his job and stayed in the store every day in the past few days. Ding Lihua didn't like it no matter how he looked at it. Now this situation is really very strange.

Ding Dawen quickly told Ding Xiaoxiang about Ding Xiaoxiang calling him to go out to sea with the boat.

"Oh!"

"This is a good thing. You can't go wrong if you follow Ding Xiaoxiang and Zhao Dahai to work!"

Zhou Yu was very happy. The family had been gloomy these days because of the work of her eldest son Ding Dawen. Now this is really good news.

"This job is very simple, but you can't be careless!"

...

"Zhao Dahai catches a lot of fish, and they are very valuable in many cases. One more or one less fish may make a difference of several thousand yuan!"

...

"You must be alert and keep your eyes on him without blinking."

...

Zhou Yu kept reminding Ding Dawen one sentence after another. There are so many honest people. If they were not relatives, Ding Xiaoxiang would not have found Ding Dawen.

"Mom!"

"Don't worry! How could I not know the importance of this matter?"

"I must work hard! Keep an eye on the fish caught by my cousin's husband."

Ding Dawen nodded vigorously. This matter really needs to be done well.

"Hmph!"

"If you can't do this kind of work well, then forget about anything else!"

"Zhao Dahai is very good at fishing. As long as you do this well, you won't have to worry about finding another job in your life."

"If you do it well, you will have to do more things next, and your salary will definitely go up!"

"You can't do business, so there's nothing you can do. You can only do this kind of work!"

Ding Lihua knows Ding Dawen's character very well. He really can't do business. This job is absolutely no problem for Ding Dawen. It is very suitable.

"That's right!"

"Ding Xiaoxiang just said that she would buy a fishing boat, and she would need to find a captain and a few people to work on the boat."

"Then find some time to learn how to drive a fishing boat. It's not a difficult thing, and you will definitely be able to learn it!"

"With enough experience, isn't that the job of a captain? In this way, Ding Xiaoxiang and Zhao Dahai don't need to find other people, and your salary will be raised, right?"

Ding Lihua suddenly remembered that Ding Xiaoxiang had said that she would have to hire a captain after buying a fishing boat. It seems that she didn't hire someone familiar, otherwise there would be no need to ask Ding Dawen to come on board and watch. In this case, if Ding Dawen can drive a fishing boat, he will definitely be able to do the job of a captain.

"Yo!"

"Ding Lihua!"

"You have to be quick-witted!"

"Isn't that the case?"

Zhou Yu's eyes lit up. Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang bought a fishing boat, so they definitely needed a captain. Once Ding Dawen could drive a fishing boat, he could do this job. He would not get the current salary of 5,000 yuan a month, but a high salary.

"Ha!"

"What's so difficult about this? You may not be able to learn other things, but why worry about not being able to drive a fishing boat? Don't I know how to drive those small speedboats or small fishing boats? The big ones are definitely different, but you will learn it after learning it!"

Ding Dawen grew up in a seaside fishing village. In addition, Ding Xiaoxiang's family was in the seafood purchasing business. He had been on fishing boats and speedboats since he was a child. He was not particularly skilled in driving a large sea boat, but he could definitely drive it. He practiced more and found someone to teach him a few times, and he knew how to drive it.

"I have to talk to Ding Xiaoxiang about this!"

Zhou Yu was a little anxious. He walked to the table, picked up the phone, called Ding Xiaoxiang's home but couldn't find anyone, called the fish market but still couldn't find anyone, and then called Ding Chongshan but still couldn't find anyone.

"Why is it so urgent?"

"Just find a time to talk to Ding Xiaoxiang later. Is there any problem?"

Ding Lihua was a little amused. Zhou Yu wanted to find Ding Xiaoxiang right away and make a decision on this matter right away, but Ding Dawen couldn't drive a large fishing boat now, so there was no way to make a decision now.

"What do you know?"

"There are so many people in the town and the villages below who can operate fishing boats."

"What if Ding Xiaoxiang asked for two or three years when she hired someone? That would be troublesome!"

"It's impossible for Ding Dawen to spend so much time to learn how to operate a fishing boat, right?"

"Let Ding Xiaoxiang know about this as soon as possible, and tell her that we have this idea. When Ding Xiaoxiang hires a boat captain, she will keep this in mind and will not agree to someone else's request to work for two or three years."

Zhou Yu glared at Ding Lihua fiercely. Don't underestimate this matter, but if Ding Xiaoxiang really agrees to someone else's request, it will be difficult to regret it.

Ding Lihua thought about it and realized that this was the case. He must tell Ding Xiaoxiang as soon as possible. When Ding Xiaoxiang hires someone, she will not be so sure and will not ask for one, two or three years at every turn.

"What should I do? I don't know where Ding Xiaoxiang is now!"

Ding Lihua had a headache. He had just called and looked for Ding Xiaoxiang in three places but couldn't find her.

"That's right!"

"If she's not at home, at the fish market, or in Ding Chongshan's store, then she must be at Hongyun Restaurant. I guess she and Yang Qin are looking at that vacant lot now!"

Zhou Yu pondered for a while and suddenly thought of this.

"Ah?"

"It's really possible!"

Ding Lihua knew that the biggest thing Ding Xiaoxiang had been busy with recently was the vacant lot in the town, and the construction would start in two days.

"Okay!"

"You two can stay here and look after the store. I'll go see if Ding Xiaoxiang is there. If she is, tell her about this right away!"

"Don't let the night get too long!"

Zhou Yu said as he turned around, trotted out of the store, and rode his motorcycle directly to the vacant lot behind Hongyun Restaurant.

"Is it really necessary to be so anxious?"

Ding Dawen watched his mother Zhou Yu riding a motorcycle and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"What do you know? This matter really needs to be made clear to Ding Xiaoxiang in advance."

"It's not easy to go out to sea now. It's really hard to make a little money."

"Zhao Dahai caught a lot of fish and made a lot of money. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this job must pay well and can take at least a few years."

"It must be one year, two years, or three years when he opens his mouth."

"There are many people willing to do it even if the salary is lower."

"Who doesn't want a stable income?"

Ding Lihua really didn't pay attention to this matter at first. When Zhou Yu said this, especially when he was in a hurry to find Ding Xiaoxiang, he immediately reacted.

"That's it!"

"You don't need to worry about this matter, your mother will take care of it, you just need to do your job well!"

Lihua knows what kind of person Ding Dawen is and what kind of personality he has. He is not good at handling such things. Zhou Yu has already gone to talk to Ding Xiaoxiang about this matter. Ding Dawen just needs to do his job well.
