Chapter 45 Like a Big Rooster

"Eat yours!" Zhou Ruonan rolled her eyes. This stinky man already has two children, but he still uses love potions every day.

"The fried eggplant is delicious, and the fish is fragrant too. Xiaohai and Xiaozhou should eat more so they can grow as tall and handsome as dad!" Li Changle picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and felt that his wife's cooking skills were the best. The dishes she made were delicious and tasty.

"It's not that you're handsome, but grandma said you look like a big rooster," Li Xiaozhou said after swallowing the food in his mouth.

"...Ah?" Li Changle looked at his youngest son, "Why is it a big rooster?"

He only remembered that his mother used to say that he was so tall but was useless, good-looking but useless... He had never heard of this!
Li Xiaohai added: "That day you went to town with your mother with your hair slicked back with oil, and that's what your grandmother said about you."

Li Changle glanced at Zhou Ruonan and said, "Oh! Your grandma is saying that your dad is good-looking!"

"Don't learn from your father. You and Xiaozhou are already this old, but you're still conceited!" Zhou Ruonan said, glaring at Li Changle, "Eat, or the food will get cold."

Li Changle: "It's hot, it's just right to eat it cold!"

"It's bad for your stomach to eat oily and meaty dishes cold!"

"Uh-huh!"

Li Changle finished three big bowls in a row before putting it down. The home-cooked dishes cooked by his wife were delicious and tasty. The steamed buns cooked by his second sister-in-law were also good, chewy and fresh, and very chewy.

He got down from the table, pulled over a bamboo chair, sat down with his belly sticking out, picked up the palm-leaf fan next to him, and fanned himself slowly. Soon he was yawning non-stop.

Li Xiaohai sat down next to him and asked, "Dad, are you going to fish in the sea this afternoon?"

"Go, if you don't go you won't make any money." Li Changle opened his eyes and handed him the palm leaf fan, "Good son, fan daddy!"

"Oh!" The child obediently took the palm-leaf fan and started fanning himself.

Li Changle happily enjoyed the treatment she had never enjoyed before, squinting her eyes and praising, "It's comfortable, the wind my son blows is cooler than a fan!"

Li Xiaohai said, "Dad, I know the fan. The secretary's shop has one. When it turns, it feels like a strong wind."

Zhou Ruonan came out after cleaning up the stove and saw him squinting his eyes and looking drowsy. "Ah Le, we still have to go fishing in the afternoon. You should go in and lie down for a while. I'll tie up those jars."

Li Changle opened his eyes and asked, "Do you have any fishing ropes to tie the jars at home?"

Zhou Ruonan shook her head. "Axiang's shop on the hair website sells them. I'll ask Xiaohai to buy two."

Li Xiaohai nodded, "Mother, did I just say I needed the fishing rope to tie the clay pot?"

Zhou Ruonan gave him the money, "Well! You said there are two hundred jars, Aunt Xiang will know which one to give you."

"Okay!" Li Xiaohai took the money, and Li Xiaozhou also insisted on going together, so the two brothers ran away together.

Li Changle yawned and stood up. "Then I'll go to sleep for a while. When Awei comes, wake me up."

"Yeah!" Zhou Ruonan watched him go into the house, went out to look at the plastic cans in the backpack, and walked towards the alley after thinking about it. As soon as she went down, she saw Awei carrying a basket of vegetables and walking towards her happily.

"Auntie, my grandma asked me to bring you some of the melons and sweet corn she planted."

Seeing that the basket was full, Zhou Ruonan quickly said politely, "My family also grows these. The old lady worked hard to grow them. You can take them back and eat them yourself."

"My grandma will definitely scold me if I take it back. It's not a valuable thing. I'll send it home first." "Ale is taking a nap. Call him at the door."

Seeing him running home with the vegetable basket in his hand, Zhou Ruonan thought that he would work with A-Le in the future and the two families would have more interactions in the future, so she stopped being polite.

"Oh!" Chen Yongwei came into the room carrying a basket and put it on the table, "Brother, I'm here."

Li Changle came out in her slippers and rolled her eyes at him, "Why didn't you come earlier or later? You came just as I closed my eyes and fell asleep!"

"Hey!" Chen Yongwei picked up a melon and handed it over, "Eat a melon to quench your thirst!"

Li Changle smelled a sweet fragrance before he took it. He slapped it with his palm and it broke into pieces, revealing the jade-white melon flesh. He took a bite and the crispy and sweet melon juice immediately filled his teeth and cheeks.

"It's delicious! This is a good variety. We will plant some to eat next year."

Seeing that he liked it, Chen Yongwei was also very happy, "Then I will tell grandma to save more seeds."

"Okay!" Li Changle swallowed the melon in her mouth and saw his smiling eyes. "Looking at your expression, I think your grandma didn't scold you. Is she willing to consider letting you go fishing?"

Chen Yongwei said happily: "It's not that I'm willing to consider it, it's that I agree, and I'll work hard with you!"

"Oh!" Li Changle didn't expect it to happen so soon. "I thought she would have to think for a few days! How did you convince her?" She winked at him and said, "First cry, then make a scene, then hang yourself?"

"That's something women do, and I'm not a woman!"

Chen Yongwei rolled his eyes at him and continued, "I went back and gave the money to grandma, and told her what you said.

I told her that I wanted to do what you do. Strangely, this time she didn't cry like she did before. She just said that fishing at sea is very hard.

I said that your family only has a small boat and can't go far out to sea, so we can just put down traps and crab cages near the coast, and then go to the islands and reefs to fish for crabs, which is not too hard.

Grandma still didn't respond, and I told her that since my family had no money, it would be impossible for me to get a wife.

Without a wife, I can't give birth to a great-grandson for her. She will have to wait for a hundred years, and I will send her to the mountain. When I die, I'm afraid I will rot and stink before anyone knows.

After hearing this, grandma scolded me, then lit some incense and candles, and sat in front of the Buddhist shrine in silence for more than half an hour. Maybe she finally figured it out!
As soon as she got up, she told me that she couldn't take care of me forever, and she wanted to go and tell Ah Le after dinner that she agreed to let him work for her. She also went to the vegetable garden to pick melons and corn cobs and asked me to bring them to her.

Grandma Chen really couldn't take care of him for the rest of his life. After Awei married the widow, he worked odd jobs at the dock for a while, but eventually went out to sea to make a living.

"Good boy!" Li Changle patted him on the shoulder, "If anyone dares to call you stupid in the future, I will beat him up!"

Chen Yongwei smiled innocently, "I wouldn't say that, it's my grandma who said these words when she forced me to go on blind dates. She always said, if you don't go on blind dates, how do you know that people don't like you?

When you are old, without a wife or children, who will take care of you when you are sick or in pain?"

"Your grandma also loves you." Li Changle pulled over a bamboo chair, "You sit down too and listen to me!"

"Hey!" Chen Yongwei sat opposite him like a primary school student, "Brother, tell me!"

Li Changle said: "Now that your grandma has agreed, I will make it clear to you. If we work together, I will calculate your shares according to the money you put in, and we will share the dividends after deducting the expenses.

If you help me, I will pay you the same wages as those for going out to sea, 90 yuan a month. If you are lucky enough to find good goods, I will give you half of the bonus as a bonus. "
