When Zhao Dahai returned home, grandma Zhong Cuihua was weaving fishing nets just after breakfast, and told her to buy big pig's trotters and bones, and at noon and evening, the second grandfather Zhao Shi and the second grandmother Golden Peach came to the house to eat, and prepared the next meal in advance.

After Zhao Dahai finished saying this, he hurriedly turned around and went out, he had to repair the ship, he was on the boat today, there was no time, and the matter of cooking had to be handed over to grandma Zhong Cuihua.

Zhao Dahai walked quickly to the beach, yesterday's unloaded boat board is piled here, you have to carry it to the back of the woods one by one, come early to do this, a little later the second grandfather Zhao Shi came, you can officially work, the beach is very soft, you can't push the car, you can only carry it by hand and shoulder, the boat board of the fishing boat, especially the boat board at the bottom of the boat, is very thick, very heavy, the short ones can be carried, the longest of the boards, more than eight meters, can't be carried, two people are enough to choke, find a few logs to pad underneath, thick hemp rope tied to a drag, laboriously but slowly, dragged into the woods and dragged to the side of the fishing boat.

"What are you doing in such a hurry? Wouldn't it be easier to wait for me to come? You think I'm old arms and legs, aren't you? ”

Zhao Shi came and saw that all the planks had been moved, his eyes widened, he knew very well how heavy these planks were, when they were unloaded yesterday, the two big men were tired enough, and Zhao Dahai got it in alone, which was not easy.

"Second grandfather."

"Am I not idle? If you come early to do this job, you can start working on the board earlier. ”

Zhao Dahai really didn't want Zhao Shi to move the ship, it was really heavy, Zhao Shi was old, flashing his waist or twisting his hand, it was not a joke.

Zhao Dahai drank some water, rested for a while, and began to board the boat under Zhao Shi's guidance, the fishing boat itself was built by Zhou Fucheng's shipyard, very familiar with the size, Zhao Shi measured it very clearly, bought these boat boards, should be cut, should be planed, opened a good hole, put a good position, some places are nailed with big iron nails, some places are fixed with bolts, the work is not complicated, at noon, eat and rest for an hour and then dry, until the sun goes down before going home to rest.

Zhao Dahai got up at four o'clock in the morning the next day, cooked breakfast and went to work immediately, yesterday after a day of experience and large boat boards, especially the most difficult boards at the bottom of the boat, yesterday has been good, the rest are some small boards, no need Zhao Shi to point out, just by yourself.

The sun is in the sky.

The sun is hot.

Zhao Dahai put down the hammer in his hand, jumped off the fishing boat, and in a day and a half, the planks of the boat had all been loaded.

Zhao Shi looked carefully around the fishing boat several times, holding a hammer in his hand, knocking east and west, and nodded with satisfaction for almost an hour.

Zhao Shi took out a list and handed it to Zhao Dahai.

"Second grandfather."

"Is it something you need to 'play hemp'?"

Zhao Dahai looked at the list, and wrote things such as tung oil, lime powder, and twine. Wooden fishing boats are made of wood and planks, not seamless integral, there are large and small seams between wood and planks, and there may be water leakage where iron nails or bolts are used, "playing hemp" is the most important process to ensure that fishing boats do not leak, I have heard of it since I was a child but have never done this.

Zhao Shi nodded, and the things on the list were used for "playing hemp".

Zhao Dahai looked at the time and it was just noon, covered the fishing boat with waterproof plastic sheeting, sent Zhao Shi home, rode a motorcycle and hurried to the town, found the store, and bought all the things written on Zhao Shi's list, mainly tung oil lime powder and jute line, which can not save money and buy the best.

Zhao Dahai bought good things, rushed back to the village, and went directly to Zhao Shi's house.

Zhao Shi saw that Zhao Dahai had bought something and came back, so he didn't rush to the fishing boat and immediately went to the fishing boat and took tung oil, lime and jute thread.

"One part tung oil, three parts lime."

"Add a little more jute thread."

"Stir it up. Beat. ”

"All the way to the point of sludge."

Zhao Shi said as he moved.

Zhao Dahai pricked up his ears and stared wide-eyed, this is the production of "oil lime" in some places called "tung putty", a good thing used by traditional wooden fishing boats to repair seams and leaks, not only this time to repair the boat, but also to maintain the fishing boat in the future, you have to learn well.

Zhao Shi stopped a half of the oil lime, waved his hand and sent Zhao Dahai home to study by himself.

Zhao Dahai took the oil lime and carried the tung oil bought home, walked into the yard and pulled a stool to sit down and immediately tried to make it, and soon found that it looked simple but it was not simple to mix it just right, either there was more tung oil or more lime or too much jute line, and it has been failed to try more than a dozen times to make a similar to Zhao Shi, and I can't wait to go to the fishing boat to "play hemp" immediately, but it is already dark, and I can only wait until tomorrow.

After Zhao Dahai finished dinner, when he was busy cleaning up things in the kitchen, he heard someone shouting outside the yard.

"Boss Luo."

"Have you eaten?"

Zhao Dahai opened the door and saw Luo Zhong riding a tricycle parked at the door, this person opened a small factory in the town, doing the business of finding people to weave fishing nets and sell fishing nets, and the surrounding villages were all from Luo Zhong's factory.

"Hah!"

"Born busy."

"I will only go back after receiving your village, and it is estimated that I will not be able to eat until nine or ten o'clock."

Luo Zhong said as he wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead.

Zhao Dahai walked into the hall, and was startled when he didn't move, and his grandmother Zhong Cuihua weaved a lot of fishing nets.

Luo Zhong took a closer look, no problem, calculate the account, it is a full 1,852 yuan.

"Grandma."

"It's money from the sale of fishing nets."

Zhao Dahai sent Luo Zhong away, took the money back to the hall and handed it to Zhong Cuihua.

"You take the money. It costs a lot of money to repair fishing boats and everything. ”

Zhong Cuihua didn't answer.

"Grandma!"

"Didn't you say that? I bought the material for the shipbreaking, which saved a lot of money, and I didn't need to spend your money. ”

"Keep it for yourself."

Zhao Dahai is not polite, the money in his hand is enough.

"I'm not going anywhere as an old woman, so how can I get money? Give it to you. ”

Zhong Cuihua waved her hand.

Zhao Dahai had no choice, as soon as he thought about it, his grandmother had nothing to be polite about, so he accepted it.

"Grandma!"

"There's a lot of money to repair fishing boats, so you don't have to weave fishing nets!"

Zhao Dahai knew that his grandmother Zhong Cui had spent the time desperately weaving fishing nets recently, and what she wanted was to make more money to repair her fishing boats.

"What can you do without a fishing net?"

"I don't have a great-great-grandson to bring me now."

Zhong Cuihua smiled.

"Hey!"

"Grandma!"

"There's no need to rush this. With the conditions of our family, we can't marry any good people. ”

"It's not too late to build a new house or something before you think about it."

Zhao Dahai was a little crying and laughing. Grandma Zhong Cuihua is now full of great-great-grandchildren, this thing is impossible, one is that her family is poor, and it is difficult to marry a wife; One is that Ding Xiaoxiang is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and the most important thing now is to make good money.
