Chapter 451 The time has come to establish my character. Boast about me
"Haha! We saw Wu Dahua coming over early in the morning, so we came over to take a look."
"Chen Hui's family has been building the house for so long, and we have never come to help."
"I'm not going out to sea today, and there's no work to do at home, so I came here to join in the fun." Wu Guang said with a smile.
"What do you mean by joining in the fun? Can you talk? We are clearly here to help out today!"
Wei Jianjun corrected Wu Guang's statement.
He put his hand on the tree trunk and said:
"Look at these two plum trees. We dug them up and carried them down the mountain together."
"Look at the roots, they are so thick and deep, it's hard to dig!"
"We have to eat yours this afternoon, make something good!"
Wu Dahua smiled embarrassedly, "It's really hard to dig. Uncle Jianjun even fell down just now."
"Let's not talk about this anymore?" Wei Jianjun said awkwardly.
Wu Shun and Chen Hui had only been out to sea together twice, so they were not that familiar with each other.
I just stood there laughing and watching a few people joking around.
"Uncle Wei, if you want to have a meal, then today is the perfect time to come."
"I shot a badger the day before yesterday, and it's still soaked in the water tank and hasn't been cooked yet. I'll ask my aunt to use it to cook rheumatism grass later." Chen Hui suggested.
People who go out to sea go out in wind and rain every day.
Plus, as I get older, I suffer from some rheumatic joint pain.
At home, we usually cook some herbal soup and drink it in one gulp with our eyes closed.
The taste is sour and astringent, and it is very hard to drink.
It’s different when meat is added. The oil will make the grass soup smoother, and the originally strong smell will become a soft fragrance.
After hearing what Chen Hui said, several people said that their trip today was not in vain.
He clamored to plant trees quickly, and then waited to eat. He had to eat two bowls before he would leave.
"Wait a minute, there's one more thing." Chen Hui stopped several people who were about to leave.
"Is there anything else? Is there anything delicious waiting for us?" Wu Guang asked.
"No, it's still a job."
"Once the tree is finished, can you guys chat for a while outside my house?"
"Speak louder and tell me about my voyage with you."
"What? They caught 70 to 80 kilograms of very valuable giant groupers! They caught seven or eight super-large lobsters at once, this kind of thing."
"Don't talk about how much it's sold for, just talk about the amazing things I did in the sea."
After Chen Hui finished speaking, he smiled at them a little embarrassedly.
Several people looked confused.
Wu Guang smiled and joked: "Young man, you can't be so vain!"
Wu Shuisheng has been in Chenjia Village recently. After thinking it over for a while, he finally understood what Chen Hui was thinking.
I couldn't help laughing for a while, then I explained to the confused people:
"He has been very good at making money recently, building houses and opening shops. People in his village think that some rich woman has taken a fancy to him and is supporting him."
"."
"."
The scene suddenly became quiet for half a minute, and then there was a burst of uncontrollable laughter.
"Haha, hahaha, I'm dying of laughter, you villagers are so bold!"
"Who has too much money and nowhere to spend it, to support a man like you who has a wife."
"You know what, Chen Hui is quite handsome. He goes out to sea with us all day long, but he doesn't get tanned at all."
"If this is true, I'm a little envious of him."
"At your age, your mindset is not right! You still have to rely on yourself to fight for your life! How can a man live on a woman?"
Chen Hui looked at them and laughed for a long time.
Then he sighed, spread his hands helplessly and said:
"This kind of reputation is always bad. After a while, it doesn't matter whether it's true or not. People will think you are this kind of person."
“If I say how great I am, others won’t believe me and will just say I’m bragging.”
"You are different. Fishermen with more than ten years of experience say that I am great, so I must be great." What is authority and what is seniority.
This kind of thing is really useful sometimes.
"Okay, okay, don't worry, we'll promote you well as soon as we get in."
"I promise that what you say will be more powerful than that old turtle in the sea!"
"This tree is very heavy. Let's carry it away first."
As Wu Guang spoke, he nodded his head, indicating that he should follow.
"Uncle, take them there. There is a young man planting trees in the backyard. He knows where to plant the plum trees."
"I'm going to have breakfast first. I'm starving."
After Chen Hui finished speaking, he hurried into the kitchen.
In the hot summer, cold porridge tastes better than hot one. The pickles made by Chen Huihong are also to my taste.
Chen Hui picked up his chopsticks and quickly finished a large bowl.
He rubbed the bowl, wiped his mouth, and hurried to the new house.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard Wu Guang talking in a loud voice, and he started bragging about himself to the people from the second team who came to return the work.
At this time, it is not appropriate for the person involved to be present.
Chen Hui went around the uphill road and looked towards his backyard.
Wang Jianfei stopped planting osmanthus trees.
Working together with Wu Guang and others, they dug the soil and dug holes at the designated locations where the plum trees were to be planted.
No wonder Huang Shuqing is willing to take him out to play, this young man is indeed reliable.
Chen Hui nodded with satisfaction and left quietly.
I went to Lin Jiao's house first and took out the badger meat that was soaked in the water tank, separated by oil paper and bags.
The temperature in the water tank is very low, and the meat still looks fresh after two days.
I searched Lin Jiao's house for a long time but didn't find any trace of rheumatism grass.
"Mom, do we still have rheumatism grass at home?" Chen Hui asked as he walked to the store door.
"Rheumatism grass? We have eaten all the ones we caught last time."
"Would you like to cook rheumatism grass for lunch? Shi Lan's family seems to have some left. I'll go get a bag."
"Why are there so many people looking for you this morning? What are they doing?"
"There's their tricycle parked at the door. How about we park it at home first?"
Lin Jiao pointed at the bicycles at the edge of the village and talked in a babble.
"The first guy raised angora rabbits. I bought some flowers and plants from him."
"The ones behind are my uncle's friends. I usually go out to sea with them," Chen Hui explained.
Hearing that it was the person who took care of Chen Hui's voyage, Lin Jiao unconsciously became enthusiastic.
Let Chen Hui get the tricycle home first.
He ran to Shi Lan's house and brought back a large bag of dried herbs.
He also took a few pears and asked Chen Hui to take them over for them to eat.
"The fruits are not big, why did Brother Shouchang pick them all?"
As Chen Hui spoke, he picked up a pear, wiped it on his clothes, took a big bite, and spit out the skin.
It’s quite sweet.
"We were going to keep them, but this time they were all blown away by the typhoon."
"Many of them fell to the ground and broke apart. It took me a long time to find these few." Lin Jiao sighed.
“This typhoon is really strong.”
Chen Hui sighed and returned to Wu Jinhua's house with bags full of stuff.
Chen Huihong cooked herbal soup and asked Chen Hui to boil water for tea.
The aunt and niece were working together in the kitchen, and Chen Huihong suddenly said:
"Ah Hui, I have good news for you. Chen Liping's family started work today."
