Chapter 951: Salaries Are Coming
Artificial islands and reefs.
Four p.m.
Four people, Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da, squatted on the deck and ate their meals.
"well!"
"What's going on? Why are there so few groupers we caught today? In total, it should only be about a thousand kilograms, right?"
Zhong Shizhu frowned while eating. He turned his brows and looked at the grouper inside the living cabin with the lid opened.
"What the hell!"
"The bell stone pillar."
"What you say really makes no sense at all. The weight of today's grouper is indeed a bit small, but don't forget that most of the ones we assigned to duty today are valuable erythema."
"Among the one thousand kilograms of groupers, at least five to six hundred kilograms are red spots, and they are all of good size. They are all over ten kilograms, and some are over thirty kilograms."
"What else do you want?"
Liu Bin looked at Zhong Shizhu with contempt. At five or six o'clock in the morning this morning, a few of me followed Zhao Dahai to the island reef foam area, but the tide was not very good. There were sea bass but not many sea bass, so I decided not to fish and went directly to the artificial island to fish. Until now. The total weight of groupers at this time is really not much, but the problem is that today's ones are all valuable goods. They may not seem to weigh much, but in fact they make a lot of money.
"Usually, by this time, we would have caught about three thousand kilograms of grouper."
"Zhong Shizhu is thinking that if you can catch three thousand kilograms of red spots here today, that would be really good."
As Lei Dayou spoke, he picked up the bowl, took two sips of soup, and swallowed a mouth full of rice and meat.
"ha!"
"Lei Dayou."
"What you said is absolutely correct. This is how I think. Who doesn't want to catch more valuable fish? Who doesn't want to make more money?"
"If we can catch three thousand kilograms of red spots by this time today, then we will really make a lot of money."
Zhong Shizhu laughed loudly to himself, he really had such an idea.
"If we really caught three thousand pounds of red spot today, we might as well just go home."
Zhao Dahai burped. This was really no joke. The money earned from Three Thousand Jin of Red Spots was really quite a lot. He could really go home and sleep right away.
"How can this be possible?"
"If you can catch three thousand kilograms of red spots, you may be able to catch six thousand kilograms of red spots. Even if we really catch so many fish, we must continue fishing. We will not go back until tomorrow morning until tomorrow afternoon. ”
Zhong Shizhu shook his head immediately without thinking. He really disagreed with Zhao Dahai's statement.
"ha!"
"Uncle Shizhu!"
"You're right. If we really caught a three-thousand-jin red spot, we would definitely not be able to go back. We would definitely have to continue fishing. We might not be able to catch a six-thousand-jin red spot."
Zhao Dahai couldn't refute. Zhong Shizhu's statement was very reasonable. No one would despise himself for catching too many fish, and no one would despise himself for making too much money. Since he had already fallen into a three-thousand-jin red spot, why not work hard? Work harder and harder to catch more red spots.
"correct!"
"Uncle Shizhu."
"You guys have been fishing with me for more than a month."
"You have to be paid for this."
"But I have to tell you something, that is, this money will not reach your hands."
Zhao Dahai stood up after finishing his meal. After moving his hands and feet, he suddenly remembered that Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou had been fishing in his speedboat for more than a month.
"ah?"
"Zhao Dahai."
"What do you mean by this? Isn't this money going directly to the mothers-in-law of us?"
Zhong Shizhu was startled and had a very bad feeling in his heart.
"Yo!"
"How can this be possible?"
…
"The money earned by the big men must go into the hands of the big men."
"Zhao Dahai."
"You can't do such a thing."
…
Lei Dayou and Liu Bin's faces suddenly fell.
"ha!"
"It doesn't matter what you say about this matter, it doesn't matter what I say. Don't forget, the accounts in my house are not in my hands now, that's in charge of Ding Xiaoxiang."
"Do you think I can take out the money and send it directly to you?"
"If you really do this, Aunt Roland and the others will definitely come to settle the score with me."
"I dare not disobey Aunt Roland and the others. Even if it is given to you this month, it will not be given to you next month, including every month after that."
"Besides, even if it is given directly to your hands, what's the use? It's just a hand pass, and you have to hand it over without covering it up. It would be better to give it directly to Aunt Roland and the others."
Zhao Dahai suddenly laughed. Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou followed his speedboat to go fishing, and their monthly salary was 50,000 yuan. They caught so many fish this month. According to the custom of the fishing village, as the boss, he must give them a big red envelope, which far exceeds their salary. Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou definitely want to take it in his hands, but there is really no way. One is that Ding Xiaoxiang has already said that the money will be given directly to Roland and the others, and the other is that even if they really give it to Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou, they must hand it over when they return home.
"Alas!"
"This is really troublesome. It seems that there is no way for us to get the money."
...
"Ha!"
"What Zhao Dahai said is right. The money is not in his own hands, so how can he give it to us?"
...
"What else can we do? I guess the money has been given to the wives at home. Can we get it out of their hands when we go home?"
"It's already very good to give us more money for cigarettes."
...
Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou frowned. The money in the wives' hands was like meat buns hitting dogs. It went away without return.
"Ha!"
"You want to spend money, don't you? You want to have your own private money, don't you? It's very simple. Starting this month, just sell a few fish."
Zhao Dahai smiled and pointed at the grouper in the open live tank cover. The red grouper caught today weighing more than ten kilograms can be sold for tens of thousands of yuan. Private money is available in an instant, and you can spend it as you want.
"Oh!"
"This is a good idea, but we don't dare to do such a thing. A fish like this costs tens of thousands of dollars. I really don't know where to put it. What if the wife at home finds out one day, how can we live like this."
...
"Forget it!"
"If you do this, you will definitely be worried all day long. When you go home, you can tell what is hidden at a glance."
"Isn't this just asking for trouble?"
...
"The wives at home may not care too much about other things, but they watch the money very closely. How much money is spent on cigarettes every month."
"Every day If you smoke a few more cigarettes, it might arouse suspicion. "
"Forget it."
"We go fishing all day long, and when we get home we are exhausted and fall asleep immediately. We don't have time to go anywhere else. Even if we want to have a good meal, we can't do it because we have money but no place to spend it."
...
Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou thought that there was nothing wrong with Zhao Dahai's approach at first. Even if they didn't sell the red grouper but a 10-8 catties blue grouper, they could have several thousand yuan of private money and spend it as they wanted. But after careful consideration, they felt that they couldn't do it this way, and they would definitely not be able to hide it.
Zhao Dahai couldn't help laughing loudly when he heard what Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou said. This was not surprising at all. In a place like a fishing village, although men have a bad temper, most of them are as obedient as kittens when they return home. They have been floating on the sea for many years. Their wives are in charge of the family affairs. How can they speak loudly? If they provoke their wives, they will be uncomfortable. If they go back to their parents' home, the family will be in chaos.
"Take a break! Take a break!"
"Let's continue fishing at eight o'clock tonight."
Zhao Dahai finished his meal and looked at the time. It was almost six o'clock. The whole sea was about to get dark. It had been quite a long time since he went out to sea in the early morning today, and he had been fishing non-stop. It was very tiring. Even a strong man couldn't bear it. He rested for a few hours and waited for it to get dark before continuing to fish.
Langtou Village.
Ding Xiaoxiang rode a motorcycle and stopped at the gate of Zhao Dahai's yard. Little Naihei had already rushed out and circled around the motorcycle.
"Ding Xiaoxiang."
"What is this for? Is it necessary to do this?"
"Tell me how much money you are going to pay. Wouldn't it be more convenient to transfer money through the bank later?"
Yang Qin got off the motorcycle and patted a large bag on the seat of the motorcycle. It looked inconspicuous, but it was full of money, all in cash.
"Hehe!"
"How can the cash for bank transfer look good?"
"Today, when we pay Zhong Shizhu and the others, we must take out cash directly to understand how much money it is."
Ding Xiaoxiang smiled and stretched out her hand. She and Yang Qin carried the large bag and walked into the yard.
"Okay, okay."
"You do make sense."
Yang Qin had to admit that Ding Xiaoxiang was right. There was a big difference between taking out such a sum of money in cash and just saying a number and transferring it through the bank.
"What's the matter?"
"What's the matter? Why are you here at this time?"
Zhong Cuihua was cooking dinner in the kitchen when she heard the sound and came out. She was very surprised to see Ding Xiaoxiang and Yang Qin. They came directly without calling her in advance. There must be something wrong.
"Grandma."
"Uncle Shizhu and his friends have been fishing with the sea for a month. Now it's the end of the month. I came here today to pay Aunt Ma Hongyu and her friends their wages."
"This is filled with money to be spent."
Ding Xiaoxiang told Zhong Cuihua why she came here.
"Yo!"
"Time flies by so fast! It's already been a month without me noticing."
Zhong Cuihua was shocked. She didn't expect a month to pass so quickly. It was almost over in the blink of an eye.
"Okay!"
"You two must not have eaten yet! Let's have dinner at home tonight!"
"You guys are busy with your work. I'll go to the kitchen to cook."
When Zhong Cuihua heard that it was about the salary payment, she didn't intend to pay attention and went back to the kitchen to continue cooking dinner.
"Ah?"
"What's going on? Why did Xiaogan and Yangqin come at this time? Why didn't they call us?"
Huang Jintao watched Zhong Cuihua come in. When she was talking in the yard, she could already recognize Ding Xiaoxiang's voice.
"Haha!"
"Isn't it a month's time? Ding Xiaoxiang is here to pay the wages to Zhong Shizhu and his family."
"We agreed last time that the wages don't need to go to Zhong Shizhu and his family, but to their wives at home."
Zhong Cuihua started to cook. She and Huang Jintao couldn't eat much, so they just cooked casually. Ding Xiaoxiang and Yang Qin came, so they couldn't just deal with it casually. They had to make a few dishes.
"Zhong Shizhu and his family go fishing with Zhao Dahai all day long. Why do they need to spend money? There's no place to spend the money they earn."
"It's definitely better to give it to the wives at home."
Huang Jintao strongly agreed that the money should not go to Zhong Shizhu and his family, but should be given directly to Luo Lan, Ma Hongyu and Xu Dongxue.
"Yang Qin."
"Wait here for a while, I'll go call Aunt Ma Hongyu and the others to come here."
"There's a lot of money in the bag, you have to keep your eyes open, don't let them snatch it away."
Ding Xiaoxiang pointed at the bag on the ground.
"Yo!"
"I wonder what you're worried about. Even if I'm not here, what's the problem? Don't forget that little Naihei is lying here. Who can't catch up with the eyes and walk into this yard? Are you going to die?"
Yang Qin pointed at little Naihei lying in the corner behind the door. If you don't look carefully, no one would think it's a dog. It must be a cow. It's very big. If it stands up, it's as tall as your waist, like a lion.
"Hehe!"
"That's right."
"Why did I forget about this? If little Naihei is here, there's really no need to worry about anything."
Ding Xiaoxiang smiled and nodded, turned and walked out of the yard, and walked towards the homes of Ma Hongyu, Xu Dongxue and Luo Lan.
Yang Qin waited for Ding Xiaoxiang to leave the yard, and felt a little bored, so she simply walked to Xiao Naihei's side, squatted down, and patted Xiao Naihei's forehead.
"I say, what's the matter with you? It's just a dog, why is it so insidious? Hiding in a place like this? If someone comes in, it will definitely pounce on you."
Yang Qin said while rubbing Xiao Naihei's forehead hard. Xiao Naihei hid behind the door and people outside could not see him at all. If a stranger or someone with bad intentions came in, he would definitely be in trouble. Xiao Naihei is really very smart.
Xiao Naihei lay on the ground, closed his eyes and erected his ears, and ignored Yang Qin at all.
