Chapter 112 Lucky Man

Li Changle knew in his previous life that there was a 10,000-ton ship. After the owner had an accident, he sold it to a fellow villager, and it didn’t take long for it to have an accident again.

That ship was very strange. No matter how many times it changed hands, all the owners and captains who handled it had a bad ending. They either disappeared or lost everything they had.

"My brother said the same thing." Ge Chang said with a smile, "I heard that you rented Uncle Alai's fishing boat and caught a lot of goods. My brother also rented his boat. I plan to go out to sea with him for a few trips to practice first."

Chen Yongwei looked at him, "Brother Afa, you won't get seasick, right?"

Ge Changfa punched him and said, "Fuck, you grew up in a fishing village and you still get seasick. If others knew, they would laugh at you to death."

"What's so funny about seasickness? The first time I went out to sea with Uncle Alai, I even vomited bile. He said this was only in the near sea. When fishing in the open sea, the waves are higher than the mountains when the wind blows."

Li Changle thought of the past and smiled, "It's okay, you'll get used to it after vomiting a few times."

"There are also people who vomit all the time. My brother-in-law vomited all the time. Later he learned to be a bricklayer." Ge Changfa patted Li Changle and said, "If it really doesn't work, you two should work hard. When you buy a big ship, I will wait to share the profits with you."

Li Changle and Chen Yongwei returned home. The adults were weaving nets in the yard while enjoying the cool air.
There was also an old pottery basin in the yard, and the scent of mugwort was floating over the yard, which was much more comfortable than the mosquito coils of later generations.

People these days are very frugal. To drive away mosquitoes in June, they go to the mountains to cut mugwort, let it wilt in the sun, and then roll it into bundles, which they light to repel mosquitoes.

The women from the neighboring Alai family and several other families were also in the yard. When they saw him come back, they all asked with a smile.

"Ah Le, where are you planning to go fishing tomorrow?"

"Take a day off tomorrow, and go visit my mother-in-law at her home the day after tomorrow."

"Ms. Zhou married so far away, it's hard for her to visit once a year, right?"

"I've earned several hundred dollars today. It's time to take a good rest for two days and visit my mother-in-law's house."

"I go back every year during holidays, Mid-Autumn Festival and Chinese New Year."

"Ah Le is obviously lucky. His mother-in-law is from the city, but she doesn't look down on him because he's a country bumpkin. Not only does she treat him well, she also married Teacher Zhou to him."

The villagers are like this. When they have no ability and can't make money, they say, "I knew he was a useless person a long time ago. You see, I was right. He still lives in the old house after so many years."

The same person, once you make money, you become capable and blessed.

Li Changle didn't want to listen to a bunch of women gossiping, so he called Zhou Ruonan and Chen Yongwei into the house and asked Zhou Ruonan to take out the account book and money. He sold crabs for 412 yuan, fish for 480 yuan, and tide-watchers and conches for 200 yuan. He made a total of 1,092 yuan in two days.

After deducting the money for renting the boat, buying diesel and cigarettes, there was still 1,008 yuan left. The fishing boat that the two of them had jointly invested in had not returned yet, so the profit was still divided 4:6 as before.

Li Changle handed Chen Yongwei's four hundred and thirty-two to him and said, "Don't spend it carelessly. Save it for grandma."

Chen Yongwei took out two yuan and put them in his pocket. "I have to take out my pocket money first, otherwise, when the money is in my grandma's hands, it will be difficult to take out even a dime."

Li Changle felt that all old people were like this. Once the money was in their hands, it was difficult to take a penny out.

Zhou Ruonan smiled and said, "Grandma just said that she didn't let you spend the money carelessly because she wanted to buy you some household items, a watch, and a bicycle. When you are looking for a date, you will have two things to show off."

"You can buy a watch so that you don't have to worry about time when you go out to sea. You can buy a second-hand bicycle." Chen Yongwei paused.
"Last time, my brother went to Zhang's house to see a second-hand bicycle they assembled. The better ones were only 80 yuan. My brother said they looked pretty good. I think they are pretty good too. Not only are they half the price, but they don't even require a ticket."

Li Changle thought it was not bad to buy a second-hand one, "Then let's buy a second-hand one. When I come back from Lucheng, we will go to Shuilu Zhang to ride a tricycle and buy a bicycle by the way."

"Yeah!" Chen Yongwei put the money in his pocket and stood up, "I'm going back. You can sleep a little longer tomorrow morning. I'll set up the trap, and you can come find me in the grove."

Li Changle nodded, "Don't be too early, it's okay to be late."

Chen Yongwei: "I am used to getting up at six o'clock. I have to get up when I wake up. If I lie down for a while longer, I will get a headache."

Zhou Ruonan laughed and said, "Your brother doesn't do that. In the past, if you called him at 6:30, he wouldn't get up until 7:30. He would rather stay in bed and not get up."

"I'm old, and Awei is a young man!" Li Changle smiled and patted Chen Yongwei on the shoulder. "The young man has more energy. He does more than me and has more energy than me."

"Forget it, you've been like this since you were a child. When Ah Huan was home, we slept together at my house, and you were always the last one to get up."

"Idiot, you can't even follow what others say!" Li Changle rolled his eyes at him, "Hurry up and leave. I feel tired just by looking at you!"

"Hehe, you are lazy, and yet you still have to make excuses!" Chen Yongwei waved at the two of them, went out and called Grandma Chen, and the two of them left together.

The people in the yard also began to pack up and go home to rest.

Li Changle looked at Zhou Ruonan happily, "My uncle still has 360 yuan. If I have such luck every day, I will have enough money to build a new house next month."

"Don't be too greedy, this is already good enough." "Silly, who would complain about having too much money?"

"No one thinks that money is too much, but I don't want you to have wild dreams and be like before, not wanting to make small money but not being able to make big money."

"Teacher Zhou, it's not nice of you to keep bringing up other people's dark history!" Li Changle knew that she was worried about a relapse of her old illness, so she said this on purpose to sound a warning.

"Okay, okay, I won't say it anymore." Zhou Ruonan smiled and counted out 150 yuan and handed it to Li Changle, "Return the money to A-niang. I'll buy you a watch when we go to Lucheng this time. It will be more convenient to use when you go out to sea."

"I'll buy you one too. It will be more convenient during class."

"No, there is a wall clock in the school office, and there is an alarm clock at home. If you want to buy one, wait until the house is built and you have extra money."

Li Changle nodded, took the money and walked towards his parents, while Zhou Ruonan went to call his two sons back to take a bath and go to bed.

When he went over, Li's father was repairing a bench. Li Changle felt that his father's generation was simply omnipotent. They could use a kitchen knife or a hatchet to chop and hack at home, and they could also use wooden sticks to make benches, wooden frames, etc.

The stools at home are all mortise and tenon structures. If they break, they can be used again by adding a wooden wedge. This is unlike later generations, when carpenters use iron nails and don’t use mortise and tenon joints. They are all fixed with screws, nails, and angle irons.

"Dad, I'm going to pay you back the money my mom lent me that day!"

"We don't need it, why are we in such a hurry?"

"If you borrow, you must pay it back. It's not difficult to borrow again. A family should also be trustworthy!"

"Then I'll keep it for now. Come back to me if you need it." Father Li took the money he handed over and said, "Don't spend it carelessly. Give it to An Nan and save it to build a new house."

"I didn't spend it recklessly. I only had 50 cents in my pocket, which I saved for buying cigarettes that day." Li Changle saw that he looked worried and took out a few banknotes from his pocket. "Look, if you don't believe me, go ask An Nan."

Father Li felt relieved after seeing this. He was really worried that his third son would be so extravagant that he would spend all the money he earned with great difficulty on buying everything for his family.

"Fifty cents is enough. I usually only have a few cents in my pocket. Your mother keeps all of it. As a man, as long as the woman at home can manage the household,

We just need to work hard outside, earn more money while we are young and strong, build a house first, and then save money to buy a bigger boat. Then no matter where we go, we will be respected. "

Li Changle nodded, "I understand. I also want to finish building the house as soon as possible without you telling me, so that the whole family won't have to squeeze into one room and the whole family will know if I fart."

"Alas," Father Li sighed, "Dad is incompetent. He separated you without even building a house for you."

And the fourth brother is already twenty-two or twenty-three years old, and is still in the army and doesn’t want to come back. If he waits another two years, he will be old. Where can he find a partner when he retires and returns home?
"Look at what you're talking about. You were short of food and clothing, but you were lucky enough to raise us." Li Changle pulled a chair and sat next to him. He looked at his legs on the stool and changed the subject, "How do you feel about your legs?"

Father Li rolled up his trouser legs and said, "You see, he's much better. He feels stronger. Today, he was able to walk to the toilet with a cane. In a few days, he should be able to put down the cane and walk on his own."

Li Changle saw that the skin around his wound had become much more normal in color, unlike when he had just returned, when the skin around his wound was dark yellow with a dent at the wound.

"I'm much better now. Doctor Lin is right. I need to keep up with my nutrition so that I can recover faster."

"The food these days is already good enough, better than what we ate during the New Year in the production team."

Father Li was very careful this time. He did not touch any irritating food, for fear that his baby would be paralyzed in bed, which would not only make him uncomfortable but also add burden to the children.

The father and son talked for a while. Seeing that Li Changle was yawning, Li's father urged him to go home and sleep. When he got home, he saw his youngest son standing naked at the back door taking a bath. The eldest son had already finished and was sitting on the edge of the bed reading a picture book.

When he finished taking a bath and returned to the house, he saw his two sons like the two generals, one on each side guarding their mother and listening to her reading picture books.

Li Changle clapped his hands and said, "Take it and look for it yourself. Let your mother rest early."

Zhou Ruonan looked at the remaining pages and said softly, "You go to sleep first. There are still ten pages left to read. I'll finish reading them and then I'll go to sleep."

"Dad, it will be quick. If you are tired, go to sleep first!" Li Xiaohai said sensibly.

"Oh, my eldest son is still very obedient, more caring than a little cotton-padded jacket." Li Changle pinched his cheek, "It seems that he has gained more weight than a few days ago!"

The eldest son nodded happily, "Mother also said that I've gained weight. If I gain weight, I'll grow taller, right?"

Li Changle smiled and nodded, "Yes! Eat more fish and more meat bones. When you have nothing to do, just use a rope to jump high. You will soon be taller than your father."

"Dad, I want to grow taller too." Li Xiaozhou pulled him, "When mom reads comic books, I want to sleep. I want to sleep with you."

After saying that, he backed away like a puppy, turned around, crawled over and lay down quickly.
