Chapter 161 Enthusiastic Anan

As soon as everyone arrived at the courtyard, Li Xiaoyang came out wearing a bamboo hat and shouted to the elderly people who were craning their necks to look over here, "Grandma, Grandpa, my dad is back!"

"Mother, Father, (Grandma) we are back."

Grandma Chen wiped her tears happily as she watched her grandson. "It's good that you're back. It's good that you're back! Are you hungry?"

Chen Yongwei patted his stomach and said, "My stomach has been growling with hunger for a long time."

"The food is ready at home. Go back and wash yourself and drink a bowl of ginger tea to drive away the cold before eating."

"Oh!" Chen Yongwei supported grandma, "Uncle Tang, Auntie, let's go back."

"Okay, drive slowly on the way." Mother Li walked the grandparents for a few steps, and when she came back she saw the two of them were soaking wet. "The food is ready. Ah Ping, Ah Le, go take a hot bath, change your clothes, and drink a bowl of ginger tea, then we'll eat."

After the oysters were opened, everyone was tired, so Li's mother asked her daughters-in-law to cook at home and everyone ate together.

Li Changle looked at the oysters drying in the corridor, and thought of the four pearls that had been opened when they left in the morning. "It's so hot, it's okay to wash them later. First, tell me how many pearls you opened today?"

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Li's mother patted him in annoyance, "You will see it if you follow An Nan back!"

"Not only Ale wants to see it, we want to see it too." Brother Li saw that everyone was very happy and felt that there must be more beads opened today than yesterday.

"I'll go get it!" Zhou Ruonan turned and walked towards her home. Li Changle followed her happily. "Anan, tell me quickly, how many beads did you open today?"

"Guess!" Zhou Ruonan turned her head and smiled.

"Are there fifteen?" Li Changle thought of the twelve yesterday and felt that there should be more today than yesterday, right?

"I asked you to guess, not to ask me how many there are?"

"No more guessing, it's not fun at all!" Li Changle pushed her into the house with a smile, "You'll know once you get inside."

"You have no patience at all." Zhou Ruonan slapped him in annoyance, took out the key to open the door, and suddenly turned around and hugged him.

"Oh! So enthusiastic!" Li Changle smiled and pushed her out, "Even though your man is a little tired, he has to wait until I take off my wet clothes!"

"Hate it~" Zhou Ruonan grabbed his ear and twisted it gently, then looked up at him with moist eyes and said, "A Le, you scared me to death today. I was afraid..."

"Silly girl!" After all these years, this was the first time that Li Changle saw her true feelings. He held her face and kissed her fiercely, "As long as you are here, no matter how difficult or far away it is, your husband will come back to protect you at the risk of his life. That way, he won't die so easily!"

"Don't say death anymore!" Zhou Ruonan wiped her eyes embarrassedly, turned around and picked up the clothes folded next to the pillow, "Hurry up and take off your wet clothes. I'll pour you a basin of hot water, and you can wipe yourself first."

"Okay, okay, my lady has given the order, and I will never tell anyone even if you kill me." Li Changle leaned forward and kissed her before starting to take off his clothes.

Zhou Ruonan went out and brought back a basin of hot water. Seeing him standing there naked, she picked up the handkerchief and handed it to him a little embarrassedly, "Hurry up and wash your clothes while they're hot and put them on. I'll take the beads out to show my second brother and Awei."

"They are not that ignorant!" Li Changle took the handkerchief and stuffed it into her hand with a playful smile, "Wife, your husband is tired after a day, rub his back for me."

"Lazy!" Zhou Ruonan picked up the towel and squeezed out the water, "Bend over, I'll rub it for you."

"Okay!" Li Changle turned around and hunched over. Zhou Ruonan put a warm towel on his back and rubbed it gently back and forth a few times. "Okay, wash the front part by yourself."

Li Changle turned around and opened his arms, looking at her in a sly manner, "The back has been washed, and the front is also mine, you can't be partial to one and treat the other differently!"

"You are the kind of person who pushes the envelope!" Zhou Ruonan blushed and threw the handkerchief at him, "Hurry up, mother is waiting for us to eat!"

After she said that, she turned around and walked out. If she let this stinky man do whatever he wants, she would forget about going out today.

"Hey! You haven't shown me the beads yet!" Li Changle walked to the door and stretched his neck and said.

"Take it yourself. You know where the beads are." Zhou Ruonan left without looking back.

"You're an old married couple but still so shy!" Li Changle smiled and went back to wipe her body with a handkerchief. After changing into dry clothes, she immediately felt much more comfortable.

He stood in front of the bed and tiptoed to see the porcelain basin on the roof to collect rainwater. He didn't know whether it was because he and Awei's skills were too poor, or because the wind was too strong and messed up the tiles on the roof, so the repaired roof was leaking again.

Li Changle sighed, took a key from the top of the tent, opened the drawer, and saw the small packages wrapped in handkerchiefs. He pinched them one by one, picked up the package at the back, opened it, and saw that it was indeed the beads he opened today.

"Wow!" Li Changle's smile suddenly brightened, "No wonder you asked me to guess, but nineteen of them turned out. That's good, I have money to build a new house!" There were three golden beads, thirteen white beads, one pink one, and two black ones. Unfortunately, none of them were as big as the one that turned out that day.

She happily took out the other two packs, opened them and spread them out on the bed. There were seven golden beads in total, which could make a set and a pair, and the remaining two were one large and one small.

The two pink beads are also one big and one small, but they are very smooth and round. Li Changle thinks that if they are made into pendants, they will definitely look good on girls.

There are more white ones, a total of twenty-three. There are four sets that can be made into sets, and two pairs that can be made into pairs. The others are the size of peas, but they are also very beautiful.

There is another bag, which is full of strange shapes, at least forty or fifty of them, big and small. I think if they are grown for another ten years, they may become rounder, right?

Li Changle felt that the beads he opened this time were not as good as those in his previous life. The legend said that more beads were opened, which might be because he opened them more than ten years in advance.

"A Le, your eyes are dazzled by the beads and you can't see the way out?" Brother Li said with a smile as he stood at the door.

"Brother! Look, there are so many!" Li Changle pulled him into the house and pointed at the beads on the bed. "Aren't they beautiful? Let's pick a few out and make cloves for Anan and sister-in-law."

"They are reluctant to part with it!" Brother Li picked up a golden bead, "One bead costs more than 200 yuan. If you ask them to make cloves to wear, they would rather exchange the money to build a new house to live in."

Li Changle looked up at the roof that was still leaking, "When we get something better, we'll keep it and make jewelry for them!"

"There are many places where we need to spend money right now. Once the house is built, we will replace the wooden boat with an iron boat and install a maritime radio. This way, if we encounter a sudden storm like today when we go out to sea, we will be able to receive advance notice."

"I heard from them that maritime radio stations are quite expensive!" Li Changle also felt that operating at sea without a maritime radio station was like being blind.

"I heard from Agui that the big ship they bought together cost nearly two thousand to load, and a metal boat more than ten meters long only cost more than three thousand."

Brother Li paused for a moment and said, "But it is indeed much better to have a radio station. Under normal circumstances, typhoons and storms will be notified in advance before they come. With preparations, we don't have to wait until the last moment to make preparations."

"No one values ​​maritime radios, no matter how expensive they are." Li Changle patted him on the shoulder, "When you buy a steel boat, you must install a maritime radio."

"It's still too early to build a house!" Brother Li put down the beads with a smile, "Put them away. Mother is waiting for us to eat."

Li Changle nodded. "Brother, go and see the boat. How is it? Have you reached an agreement?"

"My eldest brother said the boat was well maintained and looked better than ours. That family insisted on asking for 580 yuan and refused to pay less. He also said that if we didn't want it, he would give it to another family. My eldest brother said he would come back to discuss it with me and I will get back to him tomorrow."

"When you have money to buy a steel boat, you won't have trouble selling second-hand boats. If you're satisfied, just buy it. We can go to Zhangjia Pier together to install the trawl net and the slideway."

"Well, we decided to buy it, load up the trawl net together, and go out to sea together."

Li Changle laughed and said, "You missed a sentence. Let's all get rich together!"

"Yes, let's get rich together!" Brother Li smiled and hit him. The two brothers smiled at each other and went out to their parents' house together.

Li Xiaoyang grabbed him and said with admiration: "Uncle San, my father said you caught a 50-60 kg rice fish? What does it look like? I want to see it, too!"

"Uncle San, we want to see the big fish too!" Li Xiaoqing and others shouted.

"Okay, I'll take you there tomorrow morning." Li Changle sat down with a smile and said to his father who was looking at him with a smile, "Dad, we'll take you there on a tricycle tomorrow to have a look."

"Okay, I'll go take a look too!" Father Li smiled lovingly at him, "I once caught a yellow croaker weighing over 100 kilograms on the day your mother gave birth to you. I've never caught a big fish since then. Your grandmother has always said that you are good at shipping."

"I was just born. I didn't even know what a fish was. It was just a coincidence!" Li Changle hadn't been looked at like this by him for a long time and felt a little embarrassed.

Mother Li and Zhou Ruonan came out with ginger rice wine and happily handed it to Li Changle and his three brothers. "I hope you guys come back safely today. I'll buy some tofu tomorrow and make some bowls for the Lord's Temple. Thank you Lord Hailong for your blessing, and the gods for your blessing!"

As she spoke, she turned and walked out the door. She clasped her hands together and bowed three times devoutly towards the sea, thanking the Dragon God for blessing them and allowing them to return home safely and for giving them so many valuable catches.

Zhou Ruonan and her sisters-in-law also went out to pay their respects twice!

Brother Li said happily: "Dad, didn't you see the envious looks on the faces of the villagers? Tomorrow everyone in the village will know that A Le has got rice fish again." Brother Li said with a smile.

Father Li shook his head and said, "People are afraid of being famous, just like pigs are afraid of being fat. Ah Le has been getting good stuff one after another. I think it's better to get the land approved as soon as possible, so that relatives and friends won't come to borrow money and hurt their relationship."
