Chapter 663 Being a Teacher
"Chen Hui! You are here! Thank you for coming to teach Chen San how to catch fish in the sea!"
"Who in the village doesn't know that you are good at catching fish now?"
"If you are willing to teach Chen San, we won't have to worry about the fish we need to cook for the master when we build a house!"
Chen San's wife saw her husband and Chen Hui coming over.
He came over with the bucket and spoke loudly on purpose.
Mrs. Chen leaned over to look over here, pouted her lips and continued working.
"Third sister-in-law, don't be so anxious to show off."
"Just because I'm good at catching fish doesn't mean I'm good at teaching others. If I fail to teach Third Brother, people won't say I don't have good skills, they will just say Third Brother is stupid and can't teach me."
"Then you've been laughed at for nothing."
It was obvious that Chen San's wife used Chen Hui as a tool to show off and cause trouble for her sisters-in-law.
Chen Hui saw it.
I didn't say anything falsely polite to her and spoke more directly than usual.
"Ha ha ha ha ha!"
"How could that be? You are so capable, just teaching him the basics would be enough."
Chen San's wife smiled awkwardly.
Changing the subject, she urged her man, "Hurry up and go with Chen Hui."
"You're shouting so loudly. If Chen Da also comes to find Chen Hui, will you ask him to teach you or not?"
"It will take half a day to teach him. If I don't teach him, my brother will be unhappy."
"You really don't know how to speak!"
Chen San scolded his wife.
He said to Chen Hui: "Don't worry about the silly woman, let's go to the sea."
Chen San's ability in swimming is considered good among the young people of Chenjia Village, and his comprehension is also quite good.
It can swim underwater for more than a minute and can easily reach the bottom of the sea.
Chen Hui gave some instructions on his breathing.
Chen San took a deep breath, and his underwater swimming time quickly increased to just over two minutes.
Staying in the water long enough gives you time to find and catch fish.
After completing the first step, Chen Hui taught him what kind of gravel would hide octopuses or slipper fish, which are fish that can hide in the gravel to conceal themselves.
What kind of reef is worth looking for, with a high probability of finding fish?
After finding it, how to use the scoop net to catch the fish and put the fish into the net bag.
Back on shore, Chen Hui called Chen San to climb up a high reef.
Point to the sea and teach him to look.
Under what circumstances will the water flow on the seabed be very fast.
As a novice with limited skills, it is best not to go into the water at this time.
By the time Chen San was educated, the tide had already risen.
"That's all I can teach you. The rest is up to you to figure out."
"The tide is rising. Let's go back to the village," said Chen Hui.
"Thank you! Chen Hui, it's almost time, let's go to my house for a simple meal." Chen Sanxiang invited.
"Don't go, you have so many family members."
"If I go there and my eldest brother asks me to spend another half day teaching him how to swim, should I teach him or not?"
Chen Hui repeated what Chen San said about his wife.
Chen San couldn't refute what he said.
He rubbed his hands together and said with a smile: "Then when the house is built, I will invite you to my house for dinner."
"Okay! Then we can catch two fish."
After Chen Hui finished speaking, he waved his hand and left.
After returning home, he went to the utility room and took out the Type 38 rifle he had borrowed from Chen Xiaoqiao.
This gun has been in Chen Xiaoqiao's hands, gathering dust in the grocery room for a long time.
Chen Hui has borrowed it for such a long time, but has only used it once.
It had been hanging for too long and a thin layer of dust had fallen on it.
Chen Hui used a footcloth to sweep away the dust and went to the village with his gun on his back.
As soon as he stepped in, he shouted, "Uncle Guo Biao, I'm here to learn how to use a gun."
The clerk was on the phone, nodding and humming in response. Chen Kaiming and Chen Guobiao were standing next to him.
Chen Guobiao, who heard the noise, frowned and pulled his hands towards Chen Hui, signaling him not to say anything.
Chen Hui shut up tactfully.
It was not convenient for him, an outsider, to listen to the call.
After looking around, he found a stool and sat by the gate waiting.
The clerk hung up the phone.
Chen Kaiming immediately asked: "How is it? What did you say?"
"Captain Wang said he will come over tomorrow."
“Walk around the village with us and determine how much road needs to be repaired.”
"Let's discuss some details among ourselves first."
"For example, whether the road should be widened, and whether the exposed parts of the mountain on the roadside should be reinforced and leveled, or left alone."
"We need to discuss these first before we can determine how much material to bring over."
"Another thing is, we need to think clearly about where to place the materials we brought."
The clerk relayed the contents of the call one by one.
I heard that Wang Kunhua is coming.
The three of them turned their heads at the same time and looked at Chen Hui who was sitting by the gate.
"Chen Hui, what are you looking at?" Chen Guobiao asked.
"There's a chicken there. I don't know who raised it. It looks fat."
"This will be delicious if you use it to make soup."
Chen Hui pointed to the open space outside the village.
A big rooster walked past the door with its head tilted proudly, cuckoo, cuckoo.
"Hey! Why do you only know how to eat all day long?"
"Come here! I have something to talk to you about." The clerk complained and waved at Chen Hui.
Chen Guobiao recalled that Chen Hui had called out to him when he came in just now, "Are you here to see me today?"
"Yeah! I haven't come to learn how to shoot for a long time. Today I have some free time so I thought of learning it."
"It looks like Uncle Guo Biao is too busy to teach me today."
Chen Hui pointed at the gun placed diagonally beside the stool.
He stood up and went over to ask, "What do you want from me, uncle?"
"Captain Wang from the construction team will be here tomorrow. You can accompany us to receive him." Chen Kaiming said.
"Okay!" Chen Hui couldn't help laughing.
Such a formal reception for Wang Kunhua.
I don't know why, but it's kind of funny just thinking about it.
"Stop laughing. Remember this! Don't go looking for you tomorrow and find that you're gone again."
"Once this matter is done, we will erect a monument at the entrance of the village and write your name in the first row!" Chen Kaiming emphasized.
For their generation.
Being able to leave a mark on the village’s monument would make my life worthwhile.
But Chen Hui didn't care about this kind of thing at all.
"Well - okay, then I'll stay in the village tomorrow." Chen Hui said.
"I was free some time ago for your gun training, but you didn't take it seriously."
"I will definitely be busy for the next period of time."
"Once the village road is repaired, there will be no work to do in the mountains at the end of the year."
"You can't go out to sea in such cold weather. I'll teach you a lesson."
Chen Guobiao wanted to do things for the village, so Chen Hui couldn't say anything.
Chatted with them for a while.
He put the gun back in his home, went to the village entrance to check on the shops, and asked Lin Jiao to go into the house to cook.
While having lunch, we talked about the road changes in the village.
An Wenjing held the bowl and asked, "Brother Chen Hui, if that's the case, then you don't have time to go out to sea recently?"
