Chapter 036: Support
Around 7 p.m.
A sumptuous meal has been prepared;
Fang Hao originally wanted to invite his cousin Fang Yong to eat, but his foot hadn't fully healed yet, so he didn't come.
Aside from those fair-weather friends!
Fang Hao found it rather ridiculous and lamentable that he couldn't even gather enough people to fill a table.
You may have friends all over the world, but how many are truly your confidants?
"Come!"
Let's have one!
During the meal.
Fang Hao filled briefcases with drinks for Fang Dajun and Fang Qiang, then offered another toast.
It's been four or five days since I was reborn!
It seems like I've never had such a pleasant drink with my dad and childhood friend before.
This is a man's comfort zone!
It's really great!
"Try my cooking!"
"These are all considered delicacies, and even if you have money, you might not be able to eat them."
Fang Hao said with a smile.
Sandworms can barely be considered seafood.
As for the red-eyed chicken, it is a true delicacy from the mountains.
Even wealthy people have a hard time getting their hands on this thing. In recent years, its numbers have been decreasing, and villagers can only encounter it if they are very lucky when they go hunting in the mountains.
This is different from ordinary pheasants and wild chickens.
It tastes and feels better.
"Hiro!"
"When did you learn to cook?"
Fang Dajun couldn't help but ask.
I never expected that my spoiled brat son would have such good cooking skills. This is only the second time I've eaten his cooking.
The last time was the seafood congee, which was made just two days ago.
You should know that Fang Hao has never cooked before in his life; he's always been waited on hand and foot.
My four older sisters were not married before.
They all wanted to cherish him like a precious gem.
"Well... it's natural to get it from eating and drinking out too much, and besides, cooking home-style dishes isn't that difficult..."
Fang Hao made up a random excuse to brush it off.
I can't exactly tell them that I was reborn and then learned how to cook, can I?
"You can't keep your mouth shut even when there's food, it's rare to see your son cook for you..."
Chen Fenglan immediately rolled her eyes at her husband.
She was afraid that the other person's words would upset her son, so she brought up the very thing that was most sensitive to avoid, and she didn't want the atmosphere to be ruined.
"Come!"
"Everyone should try this roasted red-eyed chicken."
"Wife~"
"Have a chicken leg!"
"Mom!"
"You have one too!"
Upon seeing this.
Fang Hao immediately changed the subject.
He then placed a chicken leg on each of the two ladies, Song Yaxin and Chen Fenglan, as they were the two most important women in his life.
I must make it up to you in this lifetime!
"..."
Fang Dajun and Fang Qiang exchanged a glance.
Then they all wisely took a piece.
One person felt that their son had forgotten his father after getting married, while the other felt that their childhood friend was feeding them dog food (a Chinese slang term for public displays of affection).
It's really nothing!
Respecting women, children, and the elderly is normal. For example, when someone slaughters a chicken, they will specially set aside the chicken legs for their wife and children.
"Thanks."
Song Yaxin seemed a little embarrassed.
A slight blush had already crept onto her cheeks.
After all, they're showing affection in front of everyone.
Women in the 1990s were still relatively traditional, and their words and actions were not as frivolous as those of later generations.
However, Song Yaxin was secretly a little happy.
Women are inherently contradictory.
"Mom and Dad!"
"I've already discussed it with the Yankees."
"Tomorrow I'll go to town to buy fish traps and net cages. Then I'll prepare to catch a good amount of seafood to sell..."
Fang Hao brought up the matter again.
I need to tell Fang Dajun and Chen Fenglan again about my plan to set up fish cages.
After all, only Chen Fenglan was present today.
Fang Dajun is still unaware!
"Um?"
"Setting up fish cages is not easy."
Fang Dajun frowned and said.
Getting a job in this field isn't easy, and there's even a slight doubt that my son's idea was just a passing fancy.
Don't invest money and then decide you don't want to continue after a few days; otherwise, all those fish traps will be wasted.
Whether it's beachcombing or going out to sea.
Essentially, they are all hard jobs.
Fang Hao, this good-for-nothing who has never suffered, said he wanted to build fish cages, and even his own father had reservations.
"I support you!"
"Hao finally wants to do something, and you're just standing there making discouraging remarks. I've never seen a father like you..."
"..."
"..."
Chen Fenglan was immediately displeased.
I immediately expressed my strong support!
Now that my son has finally turned over a new leaf and wants to find something to do, that's fantastic news, a blessing from our ancestors.
There's nowhere else that can dampen his enthusiasm.
Do you want him to continue drifting through life?
Regardless of whether he can succeed or not.
That's all a good change!
"Then let's do it!"
"We'll give you the money you need."
Fang Dajun finally nodded and said.
He was mainly worried that his son wouldn't be able to endure the hardship, and he didn't mean anything else by disagreeing with him doing this.
Fang Hao has been a scoundrel for several years now.
A sudden change?
No one would believe it if it were them.
"Need not."
"I still have money on me."
Fang Hao shook his head directly.
The money I received from the wedding banquet and the money I made from selling grouper was enough to buy fish traps.
He plans to buy some first to test the waters!
In those days, seafood resources were still plentiful, and fishing with fish traps was still a promising business opportunity.
Especially in late spring and early summer.
Many people in the village don't use fish traps because they don't want to spend money on them, and they're also vulnerable to being robbed.
After all, once the fish trap is set in the sea, it's impossible to keep an eye on it all the time; if you're not careful, someone might steal your prize.
In the countryside, you can find all sorts of strange and supernatural beings.
In the following years, marine resources became increasingly scarce, and the phenomenon of encroaching on the sea and land gradually emerged.
A new group has emerged.
Hai Ba!
But...
Fang Hao wasn't afraid.
After all, he wasn't a good person to begin with.
"Keep your money for now."
"I'll take two thousand dollars to buy fish traps later..."
Chen Fenglan chimed in agreement.
It's obvious that she genuinely wanted to help her son.
"Alright!"
Seeing that her parents persisted.
Fang Hao did not continue to refuse.
If you have more money, you can buy more fish cages.
After all, the more of these things you release, the more likely you are to catch something good.
"Do a good job."
Fang Dajun also offered encouragement.
Regarding his son's first "career".
Both of them were fully supportive.
Regardless of whether it's easy or difficult, or whether it can be done successfully, it's good that Fang Hao wants to find something to do.
It's better than him wasting his time all day!
To be honest, Fang Hao's changes these days have surprised and pleased them, and they even feel that they have hope for the future.
But I fear it might just be a fleeting dream!
After all, Fang Hao had indeed been a complete scoundrel for the past few years, making it hard to believe that he had suddenly turned over a new leaf.
"good!"
"Then I wish us booming shipping business."
"The cages are exploding every day..."
Fang Hao said with a smile.
He raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.
I'm still very happy inside.
He has supportive parents, helpful childhood friends, and a wife who expects him to change.
In this life, I will definitely not be able to be as idle and carefree as I was in my previous life.
I want to make a change.
We definitely have to start with small things.
At least first, you need to gain people's trust and approval.
We'll start making fishing boats after we've accumulated our first pot of gold.
Take it one step at a time.
To become stronger and bigger!
