Chapter 911 Parents’ Thoughts
Ding Dawen drove the fishing boat and was very surprised to see Zhao Dahai and his father Ding Lihua on the speedboat. He didn't know what happened.
Zhong Shizhu walked out of the cab quickly and went to the deck. He shouted loudly and asked Zhao Dahai and Ding Lihua what happened. If he knew what was going on, he immediately returned to the cab.
"ha!"
"Nothing happened."
"I just feel like this is your first time driving such a big fishing boat, so I'm a little worried. I don't know how it's going, so I'm worried about coming down here to take a look."
Zhong Shizhu pointed at Ding Lihua on the speedboat.
"Why!"
"What could this possibly mean?"
"Isn't this worrying for nothing?"
Ding Dawen shook his head.
Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou all laughed. Ding Dawen is relatively young now. He is not married yet and has no children. He cannot understand what Ding Lihua is thinking at this time. He even thinks that it is embarrassing for Ding Lihua to come here to see him.
Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, Lei Dayou and Zhao Shi got off the fishing boat, got on the speedboat, and returned to the dock.
"No need to worry."
"Shi Guangming and I will be on the fishing boat when we go out to sea tomorrow."
"The place we ran was just the distance from the bubble area of the island reef."
"It's very safe. Besides, this fishing boat is very big. Even in strong winds and waves of level 10, there will be no problems. It's very safe."
"Another, more important thing is that I don't know how Ding Dawen is doing other things, but he is a really good driver of a fishing boat."
Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou left first and went to sea early tomorrow morning. He, Shi Guangming and Ding Dawen could go to sea later.
Zhao Shi looked at Ding Lihua and talked about Ding Dawen's situation.
"ah?"
"Is it like this?"
Ding Lihua was very surprised and couldn't believe it. He knew that Ding Dawen could drive fishing boats, but they were all speedboats or relatively small fishing boats.
The meaning behind Zhao's current words is clearly that of Ding Dawen, who is very powerful.
"hehe!"
"Do I need to lie to you about this kind of thing?"
"Aren't we going to refuel and buy some firewood, rice, oil, and salt? When we docked at the dock, it was Ding Dawen who stopped the fishing boat alone."
"It's just a slight bump, no problem at all."
"When I came back, I left the dock all by myself without anyone's help."
Zhao Shi explained carefully what happened when Ding Dawen drove the fishing boat.
"Yo!"
"Does this kid still have such skills? Can he drive a fishing boat to the dock and leave the dock by himself now?"
Ding Lihua was very surprised.
There is a big difference between a large fishing boat and a small fishing boat or speed boat.
Ding Dawen has no problem booking a small fishing boat or speedboat, but driving such a large fishing boat requires certain skills, especially when docking and leaving the dock.
Ding Lihua knew very well that Ding Dawen had never driven such a large fishing boat. In fact, many people who have been fishing for a lifetime have never had the opportunity to drive such a large fishing boat. Zhao Shi is now saying that Ding Dawen can drive a fishing boat to park and leave the dock by himself. This really requires a certain amount of ability to do it.
"Ding Dawen was born to eat this bowl of rice."
"With such skills, you can support your family even if you don't go fishing or if you drive a fishing boat for others."
Zhao Shi smiled.
It's really hard to say how rich you are. Parents probably won't think about it. The only thing they worry about is whether their children can make a living and support their families.
Ding Dawen has a relatively honest and honest personality and cannot do other jobs. Ding Lihua must be very worried about not having enough food to feed his family in the future, but now it seems that Ding Dawen is definitely a good hand at driving a fishing boat.
"ha!"
"Very good!"
Ding Lihua didn't expect to come here today and learn such good news. As Zhao Shi said, if Ding Dawen can drive a good fishing boat, no matter what, as long as he is willing to work, he will definitely have food and be able to support his family and himself. It is true that he has made a lot of money from doing business, and Ding Dawen can even live without working in his life, but if a man cannot make money by himself, his life will be useless.
Ding Lihua and Zhao Shi walked forward while talking. They waited until they got back to Zhao Shi's house and talked for a while before leaving in a hurry.
It was already evening when Ding Lihua returned home, almost nine o'clock.
"Have you seen Ding Dawen yet?"
Zhou Yu asked as soon as he saw Ding Lihua came back.
"See you! But Ding Dawen won't come back now. He will stay on the fishing boat for the next few days. This is what he wants to do."
"It's really hard to come back. I guess I'll have to wait for ten or eight days for all the work on the fishing boat to go smoothly before I can go home."
Ding Lihua nodded.
"Why!"
"At the beginning, I definitely didn't have much time to go home. That's no problem. What I want to ask is how is the fishing boat going?"
"I went to see Ding Xiaoxiang and said that the fishing boat I bought was over thirty meters long and about eight meters wide. This is a big fishing boat. Can Ding Dawen drive it?"
Zhou Yu didn't want to ask Ding Dawen when he could go home. Even though he was doing the work of Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang's relatives, he did it as it should be, and he had to do it better.
"I met Zhao Shi, the second grandfather of Dahai. After chatting with him for a while, he said that Ding Dawen is very talented in driving a fishing boat."
"Ding Dawen drove the fishing boat to and from the dock to buy fuel, rice, oil and salt."
"Second Uncle Zhao said that next he and Shi Guangming will be on the fishing boat. They just need to ding it. There is no need to do anything else. Ding Dawen can drive the fishing boat by himself."
Ding Lihua explained in detail what Zhao Shi said.
"ah?"
"When did Ding Dawen have such ability?"
"Second Uncle Zhao didn't mean to say it politely, did he?"
Zhou Yu couldn't believe it.
"What are you talking about?"
"People of Uncle Zhao's age, especially those who go to sea, tend to be short-tempered and straightforward. It is impossible for them to say such kind words. Besides, why is there no need to be polite when talking about such things?"
"This has to be done! It won't work if you can't do the work."
"Who would dare to let go of a large fishing boat that is thirty meters long and eight meters wide without the ability to do so?"
Ding Lihua didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Zhou Yu really thinks too much.
People of Zhao Shi's age don't know how to talk about situations. They just do what they say. Another more important thing is that this is a real big fishing boat.
If Ding Dawen didn't have the ability to drive such a fishing boat, Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming would definitely not let him go. One is the safety of fishing boats, and the other is the safety of people. These are not things that can be joked about.
Zhou Yu thought for a while and nodded. Zhao Shi really didn't know how to say polite words. This kind of thing cannot be said with polite words.
"It looks like this bowl of rice has been served!"
Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not that his family has no money, and it's not that his family can't support Ding Dawen, but Ding Dawen is a man after all. He will definitely have to get married and have children next. If he doesn't have the ability to support the people in his family, that won't work.
Now that you have such ability, being able to drive such a large fishing boat means being able to have a stable meal.
"Um!"
"Second Uncle Zhao said almost the same thing."
"Ding Dawen must be able to drive a good fishing boat!"
"It's a little harder to eat this bowl of rice, but you can definitely eat this bowl of rice. Just like you said, you can afford this bowl of rice!"
Ding Lihua was very happy.
"correct!"
"Didn't the fishing boat stop at Shijiao Village first after buying it?"
"Shi Guangming came to the fishing boat and pulled Zhao Dahai to talk for a long time. I guess he was talking about Ding Ailian."
"Shi Jiehua said earlier that he hoped Ding Ailian and Shi Zhongwei could get married sooner, but I didn't agree."
After Ding Lihua finished talking about Ding Dawen, he remembered that Shi Guangming took Zhao Dahai and talked for a long time on the deck.
"Are you saying that Shi Guangming and Zhao Dahai hope that Zhao Dahai will mention this matter to us?"
Zhou Yu's mind suddenly returned to Ding Ailian and Shi Zhongwei.
Ding Lihua nodded.
"Has Zhao Dahai told you about this?"
Zhou Yu asked immediately.
Ding Lihua shook his head. Zhao Dahai didn't tell him about this matter. These were all his guesses, but he was certain that Zhao Dahai and Shi Guangming were talking about Ding Ailian and Shi Zhongwei.
"Zhao Dahai didn't tell you this, so just pretend you don't know anything!"
"Zhao Dahai knows very well. He knows that Shi Guangming, Shi Jiehua, and Shi Zhongwei all want to marry Ding Ailian as soon as possible."
"I didn't tell you about this because I thought it wasn't the right time yet."
"Ding Ailian and Shi Zhongwei can get along well. I think their personalities are worthy of each other."
"The conditions in Shi Zhongwei's home are also good, and there are no problems with them."
"But there's no need to rush this matter."
"The children are older and have their own ideas. It is necessary for Ding Ailian and Shi Zhongwei to spend more time together."
"One of them is Ding Xiaoxiang who is not married yet. Why should Ding Ailian need to be anxious?"
Zhou Yu figured out the whole thing clearly.
"right!"
"That's right. Ding Xiaoxiang and Zhao Dahai are not married yet? There is no need for Ding Ailian to be anxious!"
Ding Lihua had never thought about this before, and only after Zhou Yu reminded him did he realize that this was really the case.
"When Zhao Dahai seriously mentions this matter to you one day, we can make up our minds again. Before that, we don't have to worry about anything. Ailian and Shi Zhong can just spend more time together for the two of them. ”
Zhou Yu was very satisfied with Shi Zhongwei, but he and Ding Lihua had to listen carefully to Zhao Dahai's opinion before making up their mind on this matter.
"OK!"
"That `s a deal!"
"When Zhao Dahai talks to us seriously about this matter, we will think about it before making a decision."
Ding Lihua looked at the time and saw that it was already getting late. He had to open for business tomorrow and went to eat, bathe and sleep immediately.
Five o'clock in the morning.
Zhao Dahai got up, had breakfast and went to the dock immediately. He saw his speedboat was brightly lit from afar.
Zhao Dahai walked over quickly.
"Uncle Shizhu, you guys came so early again!"
Zhao Dahai got on the speedboat and untied the rope.
"I haven't gone fishing properly these two days, and my hands are itching!"
"How can I sleep at home? We have to go out to sea early and do a good job!"
Zhong Shizhu started the engine of the speedboat while talking. He and Lei Dayou and Liu Bin had checked the things needed for fishing today, including live shrimps, and there were no problems. As soon as Zhao Dahai arrived, they could set off immediately.
"Okay!"
"Let's go now!"
Zhao Dahai nodded. Now at the beginning of the sea, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou took turns driving the speedboat, and he took the time to rest for a while.
Zhong Shizhu drove the speedboat back a little, pulled away from the dock, pushed the throttle and the speedboat slowly accelerated.
Zhao Dahai looked at the lights on the sea around him. Many of them were fishing with nets in the sea nearby, and some went to places farther away.
"Huh?"
"There weren't many fishing boats parked at the dock just now. Could it be that everyone is going out to sea so early now? Or is it that everyone is returning to the dock so late? Why didn't I see anyone selling fish, shrimps and crabs?"
Zhao Dahai thought about it. It was a bit deserted when he went to the dock just now. Usually at this time, the fishing boats that were fishing on the sea nearby have returned. There are a lot of people selling fish, shrimps and crabs, and it's very lively, but I didn't see them.
"Recently, it is said that fish have been caught in places farther away, and there are also many shrimps. The fishing boats that go out to sea to fish have to go a little further, and it's late when they come back here to sell fish, shrimps and crabs."
"It's not until seven o'clock that fishing boats come back from the dock one after another."
Lei Dayou knew that Zhao Dahai had always been fishing at sea, and he almost never went out to sea to fish. He didn't know about this kind of thing and didn't care about it.
"That's right!"
"You are following me to go fishing, where is your own fishing boat?"
Zhao Dahai took a sip of water and suddenly remembered this matter. Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou followed him to go fishing. They all had their own fishing boats and went fishing at sea. Now they followed him to go fishing, so they must have no time to use the fishing boats.
"I wanted to sell it, but I thought about it and decided not to sell it."
"The fishing boat is not too big, but it has been with us for many years anyway, so we must have some feelings for it."
Liu Bin shook his head.
"Ha!"
"Zhao Dahai."
"We can make much more money by following you to go fishing than by fishing."
"It's been more than ten years since the fishing boat was built. It won't sell for much. Just keep it!"
"Isn't your small speedboat the same and unsold?"
"It's definitely not useful anymore."
"But it won't take much effort to keep it. It just needs maintenance every year or every six months."
"One day when you have time, go out to sea and cast a small net to catch some fish and make some soup."
Lei Dayou knew that he, Zhong Shizhu, and Liu Bin almost never had the opportunity to go out to sea to fish. The money he made by going out to sea to fish with Zhao Dahai was much more than what he could make by fishing on his own.
