Good Day by Baima Lake

1984, Luwan Brigade, Baima Lake Reservoir Area. Xie Changhe always wanted to go to the city in his previous life, but before he could enter the city, his family broke up first. His father died on an old boat, his mother collapsed from exhaustion, his elder sister returned to her parents' home with her child in her arms, her younger sister dropped out of school, and her younger brother became a dawdling mechanic. This time, he woke up on the night of the autumn flood when the boat capsized. There are people pressed under the bottom of the boat, white fish hit at the gate, families are waiting for money, and the village is staring at the hole. He didn't dare think about "talking about it later" anymore. First save people, then catch fish; then repair the boat, then fight for the slipway; first send your sister back to school, and then talk about starting a family and starting a business. Relying on the "listen to the water and recognize the flow" that comes with rebirth - when you put your hand into the water, you can guess the water layer, undercurrents, fish paths and weather earlier than others. This little bit of a head start is not enough to make him rich overnight, but it is enough to save him from running on empty roads, paying less for wrong money, and risking his life at critical moments. Small fish and shrimps, snails, clams, mushroom shoots, smoked fish and dried fish, old wooden boats, old slipways, old account books... The days are getting better and better day by day.
