Chapter 249: Preparations before going to sea, I found a loophole in the golden finger!
"Why do you have to do it in the back? Isn't it better to do it in the front?"

After listening to Chen Hui's explanation, An Wenjing felt that this was similar to what he had just drawn.

It’s just a matter of whether the yard is in front or behind, and whether Chen Hui’s drawing looks better than mine.

"A small courtyard like Huang Shuqing's? If you dare to build it in front of the house, those little brats in the village will give you a slap in three days."

"There is a mountain behind our house, and the yard is at the back, so it has better privacy," explained Chen Hui.

"Privacy?"

This word is a little unfamiliar to An Wenjing.

"We now dry our clothes on the roadside, and our underwear can only be hung at home to dry in the shade."

"When the time comes, we can make two bamboo racks and put them directly in the yard at the back to dry in the sun," Chen Hui explained.

An Wenjing thought about what Chen Hui said.

He nodded and smiled: "Is that what I meant? You are very thoughtful!"

Chen Hui asked An Wenjing to put away the draft paper, and then talked about how Wu Si helped him find a plasterer.

Chat room.

Chen Huihong bought some dry food and called Wu Shuisheng, who was watching TV, to come back with her.

I heard that Chen Hui had contacted the mason himself and the wages were 50 cents higher than others, and I couldn't understand it immediately:

"Isn't the job of a mason just to lay brick walls with cement? Who in the village doesn't know how to do it?"

"If you think they are not good enough, you can just go to town and find two cheaper ones."

"This one person costs 50 cents a day, how much more will it cost for the whole house?"

"Yeah! Your aunt is right! The kid doesn't know anything. Maybe he was cheated." Wu Shuisheng also agreed with Chen Huihong's statement.

"The master said we can try it for two days first. If it doesn't work, we can change it then."

The truth is revealed in practice, so Chen Hui just laughed it off.

Then he said to Wu Shuisheng, "Uncle, please give me a pair of pants you don't wear anymore, not the three-quarter pants you wore last time."

"???"

Wu Shuisheng looked at Chen Hui with a confused look on his face, went into the house and took out a pair of new pants that Chen Hui had bought for him last time and gave it to him.

"I'm not going to wear it, I'm going to tear it. I'm going to tear it into wide strips."

"Give me a pair of unworn clothes, even torn ones will do," Chen Hui explained.

"Why did you tear my pants?" Wu Shuisheng felt even more puzzled.

"."

Chen Hui was a little amused by Wu Shuisheng's words, but he couldn't say anything.

He could only make up a story and said he was using it to tie big fish.

The friction of the rope is too great, and if the fish's skin is broken when struggling, it will affect the selling price.

In contrast, wider and softer strips of cloth are more useful.

"Oh, you should have told me earlier."

Wu Shuisheng understood now, and went back to the room to get a pair of long johns for Chen Hui.
The trouser legs and waistband had been melted by washing, and the rubber band on the waistband had been pulled away by Chen Huihong.

"Uncle, you are so awesome! You can wear pants like this!" Chen Hui exclaimed.

"What do you know! This pair of pants is very comfortable to wear, the material is soft, if my butt wasn't torn I wouldn't be willing to throw it away."

After saying this, Wu Shuisheng went to wash up.

Chen Hui found a pair of scissors and cut the trousers into strips of cloth that were two fingers wide. He tied them into knots and made a long rope of cloth.

"It looks so ugly. Let me sew it for you?" Chen Huihong came over after washing up and said when she saw it.

"Let's leave it like this for now. We can sew it next time if necessary."

After making the cloth strips, Chen Hui asked Chen Huihong for a hemp rope and a rope used on fishing boats.

Put them all into the cloth bag that I use to hold dry food and fruit.

After breakfast the next day, I followed Wu Shuisheng to the sea, carrying these ropes made of different materials.

"Hey? Why haven't my brother's wife and niece's wife come?!" Wu Guang and Wei Jianjun were already making preparations. Seeing that only Chen Hui and Wu Shuisheng came late, they asked casually.

"My aunt said she wanted to buy some things for an auspicious day, and also some this and that.

"Some need to be bought in the county town, and some need to be sold in the town. She can't ride a bike, so I asked Wenjing to stay and join us." Chen Hui said.

"She's been very busy lately, so she doesn't have time to send us out to sea!"

"I almost went out to sea and came back home without any food to eat!" Wu Shuisheng joked.

"There's nothing we can do about Chen Hui building a house. You're a grown man, so why can't you eat?"

"Old Wei, what do you know? They are just getting married after a short separation. How can other people's meals be as delicious as the ones cooked by their wives?"

Wei Jianjun and Wu Guang joined in teasing Wu Shuisheng.

"No, I'm already an old dog. The real moment of separation is better than reunion is here." Wu Shuisheng said and looked at Chen Hui.

I saw him standing by the boat holding a piece of hemp rope.

Chen Hui wanted to let one end of the hemp rope fall into the water, but the wind was very strong at the seaside, and the thin hemp rope flew higher than Chen Hui.

"this is not OK!"

Chen Hui muttered to himself, took out the rope used on the fishing boat, grabbed one end and threw it into the water.

He didn't say anything, and after a while he shook his head in disappointment.

I changed it to a wide strip of cloth that was altered from Wu Shuisheng's pants.

Chen Hui was afraid that the pants were not long enough yesterday, so he used the washed waist part.

The length is more than enough, and after being thrown into the sea, a part of it floats on the water.

"What are you doing?! Are you getting ready to go fishing?"

Wu Shuisheng looked at Chen Hui, then looked at the two kinds of ropes on the ground and smiled.

"Use this? Are you planning to catch sharks?" Wu Guang also came over to join in the fun.

"The shark is not that stupid. I think he is planning to use his face to hook the mermaid. This cloth is for those who are willing to take the bait."

Wei Jianjun said with a smile, looked into the distance and said, "Why hasn't Wu Dahua come yet?"

"Wait for him for another ten minutes!"

"Forget it, wait another fifteen minutes!" Wu Dahua has been performing well recently, and Wu Guang has become more patient with him.

"Yes, yes, yes! Wait for me!"

Chen Hui nodded in agreement, took the thick rope and wide cloth strips and got off the boat.

Soak them all in sea water.

After finishing, I wrung it out a little and went back to the boat to "fish".

"What is Chen Hui doing? What is he doing?" Wu Guang looked at Wu Shuisheng in confusion.

Wu Shuisheng shook his head, still confused, "He told me yesterday that this is used to tie fish."

"Did this guy invent some special method to find fish?"

"For example, throw the rope into the sea, and then..."

Wei Jianjun really couldn't continue to write the following content.

Even they cannot estimate the fish catch by observing the sea surface. What can Chen Hui do?
The three of them smiled at each other, and each went about their own business of preparing to go out to sea.

Chen Hui held the cloth strip and waited for a while.

The strip of cloth was covered with sea water, and through the water on the cloth, he had a faint connection with the ocean.

A little is better than nothing!
Something that can be clearly felt in this situation must be a big one, right?

Does this mean that we have found the loophole in the gold finger?

Chen Hui showed an irrepressible smile on his face and was waiting to go out to sea to give it a try.

"Sorry, sorry! I overslept!" Wu Dahua ran over with a cloth bag, gasping for breath.
