A Real Weekend in Rural China | Work, Life and a Little Time to Relax

alone was not difficult. At first, I thought we could carry it together, but my dad said carrying it on his back would actually be easier. Before I came back home, my dad usually handled these things by himself. Whether it was moving my young machines or installing range hoods. Now that I am back home, I can help him carry things and bring tools. Having one more person helping can make things a little easier. >> >> After all the preparations were finished, the installation officially began. Start. Okay. What am I seeing? How do you turn the car? That's

okay. Oh, wait. The new range hood was finally finished, Making the place clean again is also part of the job. >> My dad started teaching the customer how to use the new range. Although the operation is not complicated for someone using a new appliance for the first time. Understanding each function is still important. Yes, sir. >> With the development of technology, range hoods can now be controlled by voice. Even local dialects can be recognized and used to control them. This makes it much easier for elderly people in rural areas who may have

difficulty seeing the buttons clearly to use the appliance. After the installation was finished, we started packing up and getting ready to leave. The installation work is finished this time. The clothes underneath are soaked with sweat. The customer brought us two bottles of drinks. He said it was hot and thanked us for our hard work. This kindness meant a lot. The first task of the afternoon was completed. Making the place clean again is also part of the job. Every time we arrive at a place, my dad checks his notes out of habit. He checks if there are

any other customers nearby who need help. Planning the route ahead can also save a lot of time. There is a faulty Mayong machine in this Mayong parlor. For places like this Mayong room, the business mainly depends on the Mayong machines. If a machine stops working properly, it can affect the income of that day. Hold on. >> Yeah. Which is it? Right. A big reason many small rural businesses can stay running is this kind of mutual support between people. After finishing these things, today's work was basically over. Most of my dad's time is usually spent on

work. He rarely gets the chance to truly slow down and relax. Fishing is one of the few ways he can relax. >> >> After arriving at the reservoir, we first looked for a suitable spot. Many people from nearby come here to fish. Many people here prefer using lure fishing. I found that many people around us were friends my dad had met while fishing before. For my dad, this place is not just a place for fishing. It is also a place where he can chat with familiar people and relax. I didn't expect to catch two fish on my first cast. At that moment, I could

clearly see how happy my dad was. >> Many people around us were also catching fish one after another. Everyone was fishing while chatting. I used to think fishing was a very boring thing. Back then, I simply couldn't stay patient. But after going fishing with my dad more often, I slowly started to understand the fun behind it. My dad also taught me some fishing experience. However, fishing does not always bring a catch every time. I was just looking forward to the next fish. But what I pulled up was just a branch. >> Some people who fish here are not

only doing it for fun. Some anglers will take small fish they catch home to sell. Experienced fishermen can catch over 10 kilos of such small fish a day. They are usually sold for less than $1 per kilogram. There are way too many fish like this. This kind of fish stays small and breeds rapidly. The movement of the fishing rod was even stronger than before. I realized that I had caught four fish at once. >> The weather was calm at first, but it suddenly started raining. >> >> Although we had not been here for very long, the rain kept getting heavier. So,

we had no choice but to pack up our things and leave. >> >> After packing up our things, we were ready to leave the reservoir. My dad and his friends talked about today's fishing while walking back. In rural areas, many people have a simple way of life. They stay busy with their own work. When they have free time, they meet up with a few friends. They fish together and chat together.
