Chapter 44 Hard Work
Chapter 44 Hard Work (500 monthly tickets plus more)
"Brother, you are right. I am no worse than him except for money. I will talk to my grandma when I get back and try to convince her. I want to work with you."
"Talk nicely!" Li Changle handed him the money. "Take it, stop pushing it back and forth."
"I won't listen to you." Chen Yongwei took the money and took out ten yuan and put it on the table, "Brother, if I were to sell the fish today, I could only get sixty or seventy yuan at most. I took more than fifty yuan, which is already too much.
Really, I have earned more from shopping with you these past two days than I did in the past two months. I think if I follow you, I will definitely make a lot of money in the future!"
"You brat!" Li Changle shook her head helplessly and had to let him do what he wanted. "Tell your grandma about it. It wasn't easy for her to raise you!"
"Yes!" Chen Yongwei picked up the meat and went out. He also picked up the ground traps and crab cages that Zhou Ruonan had washed and hung outside early in the morning, put them into the backpack, waved to Li Changle, and strode away.
"A Le, wash your face." Zhou Ruonan walked out of the kitchen holding a porcelain basin.
Li Changle took the porcelain basin and said, "Didn't you go to Second Sister-in-law's house? Why didn't I see you come back?"
"I came from the vegetable garden behind the house and picked some green onions to add to the soup." Zhou Ruonan paused, "I heard you talking to Awei about the idea of partnering up, what did he say?"
"Well, I..."
Zhou Ruonan thought for a moment after hearing this and said, "Now that Dad has been discharged from the hospital, he won't be able to go fishing with you this year. He's old, and he was just bitten by a venomous snake. Even if he recovers, he'll have to rest for half a year.
The eldest and second brothers help out on the boat that uncle co-owns, and they get a fixed salary every month. They may not be willing to go fishing with you to earn uncertain money."
"Mother said that my eldest brother and second brother signed a three-year contract with the ship owner... Dad promised to sell the ship to us." Li Changle thought of the first wife, "Look, the first wife also bought the big ship with his eldest brother-in-law, and then the family got better."
Zhou Ruonan nodded, "No wonder my sister-in-law said that if she had known, she would not have signed a contract with the shipowner and would have gone fishing with you. But I think Awei is a good person, he treats you well and is a simple person.
As the saying goes, it takes three to make a hero, and it takes three to make a fence. If Grandma Chen can let go, I will feel more at ease if she goes out to sea with you!"
Li Changle clearly remembered that two years ago, there was an incident in a nearby fishing village where a boat captain was suspected to have been murdered by a boatman.
When the ship returned, only the boatman came back. When the family members questioned him, he said that the boss didn't stand firmly and fell into the sea and couldn't be rescued. In this vast ocean, who can you find to testify?
Even if the family suspected that someone had murdered them, there was nothing they could do and the case ultimately remained unresolved.
"Yes! Sea scouring is a tough job. You can't do it without strength. Although Ah Wei looks silly, he is strong and smart.
He and I grew up together, we are like brothers. When I go out with him, I don’t have to worry about getting the good stuff or being pushed into the sea to feed the fish.”
Zhou Ruonan also knew about this and glared at him in reproach, "Don't talk nonsense! Go and call Xiaohai and Xiaozhou back for dinner."
"Well!" Li Changle took out the remaining sixty yuan and handed it to her, "Let's go to the Phoenix Restaurant. We're lucky to meet Boss Gu...
I used the money from the sales to buy two cans of food, candies, and some plastic jars, and I still had a few bucks left for pocket money."
Zhou Ruonan was very happy after hearing this. He earned his annual salary in just two days. Ever since Ale became more hardworking, he has been lucky these past two days.
It has only been two days since Dahualong started. Excluding the money given to Awei, the money I have given myself is more than a hundred yuan.
"The price of snow eel is half of what it costs at the seafood store. You are smart. If you have good stuff in the future, you can sell it at the restaurant."
"Yes! So I gave Manager A Kun some benefits. He is greedy for money. As long as there is benefit, we will send good seafood to sell, and give him some benefits every time."
"Okay, you can handle the outside matters. I'll hand in the crab net today and buy the materials to make the ground trap and crab net. I'll ask my sister-in-law to help me make them. It will only take a week."
"Don't worry, take your time!" Li Changle went to the alley with his two sons and walked up to the courtyard, and saw his second brother's daughter Xiaohui carrying a plate and walking towards his house. "Sister, did you eat the fire-baked cake?" The show-off Li Xiaozhou ran up and asked.
"I ate it, it was delicious!" Li Xiaohui looked at Li Changle with a smile, "Uncle San, my mother asked me to bring you a plate of Wangchaolai."
Li Ersao is just like this. If she takes a thread from you, she will give you a needle in return. She does things in a very rigid way and has no humanity at all.
"Have your uncle and his family returned?" Li Ersao's hometown, Shaji Village, is also a fishing village. Her father and two brothers are all fishermen.
"We returned this morning. My mother thought my father had returned as well, but when she rushed back, he hadn't returned yet."
Li Xiaohui put the plate on the table. Zhou Ruonan said a few polite words to her, and the little girl left with a smile.
When the father and son entered the house, Zhou Ruonan had already prepared the meal.
It was quite a feast with sweet potato rice, boiled, flattened and fried small potatoes until golden on both sides, steamed dried salted fish, fried eggplant, boiled water bamboo and clams, and the braised Wangchao sent by Mrs. Li.
Li Xiaozhou saw that there was no meat on the table and pouted, "Mother, why is there no meat?"
Zhou Ruonan handed him the chopsticks and said, "Rou Rou, make it during dinner."
The child looked at her and said, "Mom, I want to chew a big bone tonight."
"Okay! You and your brother each have a bone."
Li Xiaohai also nodded.
Li Changle smiled and thought that the two children were like dogs asking for bones to eat. However, the ribs these days were really delicious, fat but not greasy. The aroma of meat and bones filled the mouth when he took a bite.
It's not easy to like chewing bones. After selling the catch tomorrow, he will buy a few pounds to stew for his two precious sons.
Li Changle thought of this and smiled as he tapped his youngest son on the forehead, "Little dog, eat quickly!"
The child pouted and covered his forehead, "Dad, I was born by you, not Xiaogouzi, but Li Xiaozhou!"
"...Now you've made a fool of yourself!"
Li Changle smiled awkwardly at Zhou Ruonan's rolling eyes, "Okay, okay, you are Li Xiaozhou! You are father's son, not a puppy! Father will atone for his sins and buy you bones to eat tomorrow."
Li Xiaozhou nodded rapidly, "I like to eat bones."
Li Xiaohai pursed his lips, glanced at Zhou Ruonan, and said nothing.
After seeing this, Li Changle felt that his eldest son was so sensible that it made him feel distressed.
Zhou Ruonan smiled and said, "How can you buy meat every day? Don't buy it tomorrow. Dad will be discharged from the hospital the day after tomorrow. Go buy two pig's trotters and stew them for him to nourish him!"
"Okay! Listen to my wife!" Li Changle said to his two sons with a smile, "Your mother is the commander in chief in our family, and we all have to listen to her."
Li Xiaozhou objected: "Dad, my mother is Teacher Zhou, not the commander-in-chief! The general is the commander-in-chief!"
"Okay, okay, we will all follow Teacher Zhou's instructions from now on!" Li Changle smiled and looked at his wife, "Teacher Zhou, let's eat!"
