"Brother Hao!"

"You really bought the boat?"

The next day.

When Fang Hao told Fang Qiang that he had spent more than 20,000 yuan to buy a fishing boat, the other party was shocked and stunned.

Fang Hao had mentioned it to him before.

I want to buy a fishing boat to go out to sea and set fish traps.

I can't believe they actually bought it!

Fang Hao has been keeping him quite busy these days.

First, he helped the police station catch a murderer and received a reward of 10,000 yuan. Now he has bought a fishing boat worth more than 20,000 yuan.

None of these are trivial matters!

"Um!"

"Interested in becoming the captain? I know you've studied under someone, so this ship will be yours to steer from now on—"

Fang Hao said with a smile.

Fishing boats need someone to operate them.

He doesn't have this skill himself.

After all, he has always been rather lazy and irresponsible, and has never done any work since he was a child, so naturally he would never be able to drive a boat.

My childhood friend is currently capable of doing this job, and he is reliable and trustworthy, making him the perfect partner.

He and Fang Dajun were responsible for fishing.

Everyone has a clear division of labor!

"ah!?"

"Make me the captain?"

Fang Qiang was stunned again.

Unexpectedly, his childhood friend asked him to drive the boat.

In fact, many people who grew up in the village can drive boats.

Whether one can afford a boat or not is another matter entirely.

This is similar to how many people in later generations get their driver's licenses but haven't touched a car for several years and can't afford to buy their own.

"You shouldn't go to work in eastern Guangdong either."

"Isn't it better for us brothers to do something at home than to go out? There's a saying, 'No matter how good it is outside, it can't capture your soul.'"

"You'll just be my boatman and helper, I'll pay you a basic salary of three hundred yuan a month, plus bonuses if the business is good. What do you think?"

Fang Hao said it directly.

Having someone you know well to help you.

That would be the best thing ever.

A fishing boat can be easily operated by three people, and if it requires a little more effort, two people can go out to sea.

Fang Qiang had previously said he was going to work in eastern Guangdong, but now that he has bought his own fishing boat, he can stay.

Anyway, it doesn't matter where you work.

"Brother Hao!"

"There's no need to pay such a high salary."

"Actually, I can take care of my mom even if I don't go out. Having a stable income is already very good."

Fang Qiang nodded in agreement.

If you can earn money by working from home.

It also makes it easier to take care of your family members, so this is definitely the best choice.

Fang Hao paid him 300 yuan a month.

That really gave me a fright!

Keep in mind that the average person's salary is only one or two hundred yuan, so this is already more than double.

He usually goes beachcombing and hunting.

It costs at least a hundred yuan a month.

It would only cost a little over a hundred yuan.

"No need to say so much."

"That's settled for now."

"I'll try to earn enough money this year to buy a motorcycle and get married—"

Fang Hao made the decision immediately.

He clearly wanted to bring his childhood friend Gou Fugui along.

The other party is one of the few brothers who truly care about me. It would be a bit unreasonable not to lend a hand after I've been reborn.

Moreover, hiring a helper who knows how to sail a boat is not cheap.

Although Fang Qiang is not an experienced and capable captain, for Fang Hao at this stage, knowing how to sail a boat is enough.

After all, Fang Dajun was there to help.

This person has been a fisherman for most of his life.

Having always worked for other boat owners, I have developed my own experience and insights into fishing at sea.

The three of them worked together.

Arranging a fishing boat is no problem.

"————"

Fang Qiang also fell silent for a moment.

Why do I feel like I'm even more arrogant than the village's "Big Cannon" (a nickname for someone who boasts)?

Buying a motorcycle?

And get married?

This seemed like a complete fantasy to him.

Perhaps there's still a glimmer of hope for him to get married.

As for buying a motorcycle, that's just a pipe dream.

Motorcycles back then were more prestigious than BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi in later years.

The cheaper ones cost several thousand yuan.

The more expensive ones cost ten or twenty thousand yuan.

It's important to understand that this price is definitely not something an ordinary family can afford.

At the very least, you could count the number of people in the village with motorcycles on one hand.

"Brother Hao."

"I'd be content as long as I can make a living."

Fang Qiang spoke up.

He is a down-to-earth person.

Those things that seem unlikely.

I didn't have many extravagant hopes.

"Hahaha~"

"Everyone should have dreams."

Fang Hao glanced at the other person's expression.

I immediately understood what he was thinking.

It's unlikely that a small fishing boat can make a fortune!

Earning enough to make a living is still not a problem.

Fang Hao bought the fishing boat mainly to catch large yellow croakers, in case he actually managed to catch one.

That would truly be a windfall!

"Uh-huh."

Fang Qiang nodded.

Although I still felt that my friend's words were difficult to fulfill, I couldn't really refute them, since his intentions were good.

I want to live a good life.

Let's go!

"Let's go out to sea today."

Fang Hao then continued.

I bought a fishing boat and wanted to go out for a spin.

It's like buying a car; you definitely have to take it for a spin, otherwise you feel like you're letting yourself down after spending so much money.

This fishing boat originally belonged to my uncle's family.

The transfer between them wasn't too troublesome, and now the fishing boat completely belongs to him.

"good!"

Fang Qiang had no objections.

The seawater is just right now, so we can go out.

Small fishing boats usually go out in the early morning or morning and return in the afternoon or evening.

"Brother Hao."

"You seem to have changed a lot lately."

Fang Hao hesitated for a moment before speaking.

This was what puzzled him most: how could a person change so much in such a short time?

Is getting a wife really that effective?

"Um?"

"What has changed?"

Fang Hao raised an eyebrow slightly.

"It's nothing."

"Just saying."

Fang Qiang shook his head.

They didn't say anything more.

Ever since Fang Hao got married.

It's like he changed into a completely different person in an instant.

First, he stopped hanging out with his cronies.

Then I asked him to go fishing together at the beach.

They even bought fishing boats and started fishing.

"People do change."

"Now that I'm married and have a family, I have to earn money to support my wife. I definitely can't be as irresponsible as before—"

Fang Hao explained casually.

It's understandable that people are shocked and puzzled by my recent behavior, which is so different from what I did before.

In Chen Fenglan's words.

That means you've grown up when you get married and start a family.

"oh--"

Fang Qiang nodded.

After all, my childhood friend's changes are for the better.

At least I'm not like before, spending my days idly, just waiting to die.

He also hopes the other person can change for the better!

"alright!"

"From now on, let's team up, brothers!"

"Strive to make the fishing boat industry stronger and bigger —"

Fang Hao said with a smile.

He cherishes and enjoys his current life.

He has a beautiful wife, doting parents and sister at home, and childhood friend Fang Qiang to help him out. Everything seems perfect.

"good!"

Fang Qiang responded in response.

He still enjoys hanging out with his childhood friends.

It's okay if I earn less.

As long as I can support my family, that's enough.
