Chapter 174 I came to thank you, an unexpected good news

"Of course. If there's any work I can do, let me do it."

As Chen Hui spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to go forward, but was stopped by Wu Guang.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"Besides cooking, you are not a workaholic."

After Wu Guang finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh.

Chen Hui did not go this time, and they ate mooncakes and boiled water for another day and two nights.

"Hehe, Uncle Guang really has a keen eye and a sharp mind!"

"Now that you're back today, you have to take a break for two days and not go out to sea, right?" Chen Hui said with a smile.

"Then, are you planning to treat that dinner that you agreed to but haven't yet done?" Wu Guang asked.

Ok?
I actually forgot about it.

Chen Hui nodded repeatedly, "Yes, we agreed to have dinner at the state-owned restaurant last time, but wasn't it delayed by the typhoon? Let's go today?"

"Yo!? Really?"

Wu Guang turned around and shouted to Wu Shuisheng and Wei Jianjun who were still busy on the fishing boat: "Old Wu, Old Wei, Chen Hui is treating us to dinner this afternoon!"

"Ah? Why are you suddenly treating us?" Wu Shuisheng asked.

"We agreed to go before, but we didn't get to go because of the typhoon. How about we go at noon?" Chen Hui said loudly.

Seeing Wu Dahua was there too, I casually called him to join us.

"I'm going too?!"

Wu Dahua unconsciously looked at Wu Shuisheng and Wei Jianjun, and seeing that they both nodded in agreement, he felt as if he was finally accepted by the group, and rubbed his hands in surprise.

"Chen Hui, what on earth are you doing here?"

"Don't say you're asking us to have lunch. Wu Guang doesn't know you, so how could I not know you?"

"You lazy guy, you got up so early, there must be something else." Wu Shuisheng came over and said.

Chen Hui originally wanted to talk about this matter during lunch.

Since Wu Shuisheng explained it so clearly, Chen Hui simply told Wu Shuisheng that he wanted to borrow the fishing boat for a day and asked Wu Shuisheng to help him drive the boat.

"Charter a boat to go out to sea?"

"Is it because he has too much money to burn, or is it because he is too full and has nothing to do?" Wu Guang found it very confusing.

He would not do such tiring work as going out to sea which costs fuel and money unless he wanted to make money.

"We go out to sea to support our families, but others go there for recreation, it's different," said Wu Shuisheng.

"How can we understand the thoughts of rich people?"

"Uncle Guang, how much does it usually cost to rent or charter a boat in our village?" Chen Hui was more concerned about this.

"I bought the diesel myself. Your family also has the one who drives the boat."

"I won't have the energy to go out tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Can I charge you for lending me my fishing boat for a day?"

"If you want to pull the nets, just pay your aunt and eldest sister-in-law for the wages of mending the nets."

Excluding diesel and labor costs, the money earned from simply renting a boat for only one day is not much.

Wu Guang didn't bother with Chen Hui about this, he just waved his hand and said generously.

Once Wu Guang is dealt with, Wu Shuisheng won't be a big problem.

Chen Hui asked An Wenjing to find a place to sit and rest. He went forward to take the fish basket that Wei Jianjun was holding and asked, "Where are you going to sell this?"

"Oh, Chen Hui is so sensible today?" Wei Jianjun joked.

"Have you heard that people who show kindness to others for no reason are either treacherous or thieves?" Wu Shuisheng said with a smile, patted Chen Hui and said, "Come with me."

"Uncle, I went to the county town to sell fish and made some money the other day. Can I give you twenty to buy cigarettes?"

Chen Hui followed behind Wu Shuisheng and said.

If you cater to his preferences, that's all he has.

"No, I still have what you gave me last time."

"I'm already very happy that you can earn money and support your wife and children." Wu Shuisheng said. Chen Hui not relying on his parents was like giving him money.

"Is your private savings too much?"

"Brother Dianyang's child's birthday is coming soon, right? As a grandfather, shouldn't you buy him a birthday present?"

"You've never bought anything before? How about buying a new set of clothes?" Chen Hui continued to chatter.

Wu Shuisheng couldn't stand his nagging.

He turned around, took the fish basket and said, "Oh! I'll go out to sea with you tomorrow!"

"Thank you, uncle!"

"Then I'll go to the county town and reserve a table. You can bring Uncle Guang and the others over later. Do you know where the state-owned restaurant is?"

Chen Hui asked with a smile.

"I don't know, but Lao Wei went to a wedding once. Just ask him to lead the way. You can go."

As Wu Shuisheng said this, he turned around, grabbed the fish basket and went to the purchasing point.

Chen Hui trotted back and rode away on his bike with An Wenjing.

Passing by the village primary school of Dasa Village, An Wenjing suddenly patted Chen Hui on the shoulder.

"What's wrong?" Chen Hui stopped the car and asked.

"I want to go in and take a look." An Wenjing looked at the tightly closed door and peeked inside curiously.

"We still have to make reservations and tell Sister Xiulian that we have rented a fishing boat."

"Come back next time, the village boy won't run away!"

After Chen Hui finished speaking, he was about to ride away.

I saw someone running out shouting An Wenjing's name. When I got closer, I realized that it was Chen Lihua who worked at the Dasha Village Primary School.

"Is it really you? When I returned to the village two days ago, I went to your house to look for you, but you were not at home." Chen Lihua looked at An Wenjing and said with a smile.

"Teacher Chen is looking for me? Is it about the arts school?" An Wenjing asked.

"Isn't Wen Yi next year?" Chen Hui looked at An Wenjing.

"No, I just want to thank you for helping me in the department store last time." Chen Lihua said with a smile.

"That? That's okay, we just happened to be there."

An Wenjing was polite but still had a happy smile on her face.

It’s exciting to think about finding work for the staff in a department store.

"Let's go in and have dinner together. I just happened to buy some seafood at the pier today." Chen Lihua said, pulling An Wenjing.

"No, we have something to do in the county town." An Wenjing declined.

Chen Lihua looked a little regretful.

Chen Hui saw that she really wanted to treat him to a meal, so he smiled and said, "There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Wen Jing will be a substitute teacher next semester."

"real?!"

"I heard from the principal that a teacher from Chenjia Village would come. It turned out to be you?"

"That's great! We can travel together every day from now on!" Chen Lihua smiled happily.

"Traveling together every day?" An Wenjing expressed doubt.

Chen Lihua smiled, approached An Wenjing and explained in a low voice: "My second brother made money this year and built his own house. He and my second sister-in-law will move into the new house next month."

"That's great, this is unexpected good news." An Wenjing also became happy.

Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Hui interrupted their small talk.

The bicycle had ridden quite far away, but out of the corner of my eye I could still see Chen Lihua stretching out her arms and waving at the two of them.

"You have a good relationship with Teacher Chen?"

"Also, what about the second brother and second sister-in-law you were talking about just now? What's the situation?"

It is human nature to eat melons, and Chen Hui is no exception.
