After the breakup, I returned to the island and the sea became my golden fishing ground.

Chapter 196

Jiang Han heard the singing of opera, and saw Uncle Lai sitting by the radio listening to the opera.

"Uncle Lai, I'm here to see you."

Uncle Lai didn't expect Jiang Han to come at this time. He was not like other men in the village who only told their wives to work.

He took the tea can from the cabinet and made tea for Jiang Han.

"Ah Han, is your sister okay? Her two children should be big now, right?"

"My sister is fine. Both children are studying and very smart."

"That's good!"

Uncle Lai turned off his radio because he thought it was too noisy.

"You've been back for a while?"

"Yes, I should have come to see you a long time ago."

Now Jiang Han can be sure that Uncle Lai didn't just pass by their village that day.

He came to see him on purpose.

"When did you come back?"

"I came back after graduation."

"Are you still going out?" Uncle Lai remembered Jiang Han and was admitted to a prestigious university.

He was also very happy for him when he heard the news.

Jiang Han felt that there was no need to hide it from Uncle Lai. After thinking for a while, he said, "I think my hometown is pretty good, and the current employment environment is not good. It is not possible to find a good job with a good education."

"Maybe the genes of my ancestors have awakened. I found that I am still quite adaptable to the life of fishermen."

During this period, Uncle Lai heard a lot about Jiang Han from others. Now he was quite surprised to hear Jiang Han say these words in person.

How difficult it is to get into a prestigious university! After passing the exam, shouldn't you work hard in a big city? Why did you come back just like that?

Being a fisherman does not require education.

But this is Jiang Han's freedom. If Jiang Han is happy as a fisherman, he thinks it is good.

"Did you buy your boat yourself?"

Jiang Han nodded, "I bought a second-hand boat. When I bought it, the boat was full of barnacles and it was dirty and terrible inside. After I bought it, I cleaned it and found it was not bad."

Uncle Lai's lips moved. But he said nothing. He took out the melon seeds, peanuts and walnuts from home and handed them to Jiang Han.

Jiang Han bit the walnuts without hesitation.

"Uncle Lai, do you have anything to say to me?"

Uncle Lai's lips moved again, but he still didn't speak.

"Just say it if you have anything to say. There are no outsiders here."

Seeing Uncle Lai like this, Jiang Han felt that it should be a difficult matter.

Uncle Lai sighed, as if he had made up his mind, "Ahan, wait a minute."

He went upstairs and pulled Lai Zhuang down with him when he came down.

"Brother Lai Zhuang." Jiang Han called out.

Lai Zhuang was very big when he was young, and he is even bigger now.

Not only tall, but also strong.

"Jiang Han, brother, you, good." Lai Zhuang spoke very slowly, one word at a time.

Compared with the past, at least what he said now can be heard clearly.

When Uncle Lai looked at Lai Zhuang, his eyes were full of love.

"Ah Han, you know, I only have one child. He has grown up now and is better than before. He can speak well and can do some work."

Uncle Lai pointed to the table and floor at home, "Every time after dinner, the floor and table at home are cleaned by A Zhuang. Look, are they clean?"

When Jiang Han came in, he felt that the floor was very clean and bright.

Jiang Han looked at Lai Zhuang, "Brother Lai Zhuang, you are very good. You can clean the house so clean."

"Lai Zhuang, great!" Lai Zhuang smiled naively. He did not learn the humility of others. He was sincerely happy after being praised.

"Lai Zhuang can really work, and he is very strong..." Uncle Lai didn't know what to say after he said the last part.

Jiang Han understood a little bit.

"Uncle Lai, do you want Brother Lai Zhuang to follow me to work?"

Uncle Lai is an honest man. He couldn't speak for such a simple thing.

"Bang!"

Aunt Lai had just finished picking vegetables and walked into the house. There was a glimmer of light in her originally lifeless eyes.

She picked up the vegetables that fell on the ground and put them into the basin in a somewhat embarrassed manner. "My hand slipped just now. You guys continue chatting."

Aunt Lai went to the kitchen after saying that.

Uncle Lai nodded. He didn't expect Jiang Han to guess it.

He had never asked anyone for help in his life. If he asked him to say it himself, he might still not be able to say it.

"Ah Han, are you short of people?"

"I, I don't mean anything else. If you are short of people, can you consider Lai Zhuang?"

"If he can't do something too difficult, you can keep him to help you and move things. Yes, he can also clean the house."

"He doesn't need much money. Just give him a meal while he works."

EachUncle Lai, who had good conditions in all aspects, was so humble for his child at this moment.

Originally, the couple could have another child, but then Aunt Lai got sick and had an operation and couldn't have children anymore.

The couple didn't think about adopting anything.

They only had this one child, and they were afraid that the adopted child would be too smart and would bully Lai Zhuang in the future.

"If you feel embarrassed--"

"No."

Uncle Lai looked at Jiang Han in shock. He didn't think Jiang Han would really agree.

In Lai Zhuang's case, no one would want him anywhere else.

Which employer would accept a child with Down syndrome?

He still had some savings, so he could keep Lai Zhuang.

But there was a lot of gossip in the village, and many children called Lai Zhuang a fool and threw mud at him.

The adults also laughed at him for being useless.

There was a problem with Lai Zhuang's mental state.

He took him to see a doctor, who said it would be best if he could have a sense of participation in society and find him a job.

He was desperate and thought of Jiang Han because he had no other choice.

"I really need people over there, so let Brother Lai Zhuang work with me first. I still need Brother Lai Zhuang to help me with some things."

Old Uncle Lai felt that Jiang Han was too polite, and perhaps because he was afraid that Lai Zhuang would be hurt by hearing it, he pulled Jiang Han aside.

"The prices have risen too much in recent years, and I can't afford to pay more. If Lai Zhuang works for you, I will give you 1,000 yuan a month. In addition, I will give you 200 yuan to pay Lai Zhuang's salary. He will be very happy when he receives the salary."

Jiang Han was stunned, and when he understood what Old Uncle Lai said, he couldn't help laughing.

"Uncle Lai, Brother Lai Zhuang works for me, how can I take your money?"

He walked up to Lai Zhuang, "Brother Lai Zhuang, let's go fishing together at 7 o'clock tonight?"

Lai Zhuang looked at Jiang Han in disbelief.

He really understood, Jiang Han really invited him to go fishing together.

"Thank you, thank you, Jiang Han, brother, brother."

Aunt Lai suddenly ran out, "Jiang Han, let's eat here?"

Jiang Han didn't expect Aunt Lai to let him eat at home, she didn't do this before.

"No, I still have to go to town."
