Chapter 235: If you can't win, run away. It's not shameful.
Li Changle suddenly thought of buying a gun again. He felt that a gun was better. If he didn't have a gun, a hunting rifle would do.
Not to mention now, even if the big ships come back in the future and encounter ship robberies while operating in the wild sea, guns will still be more intimidating.
Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of Qian Acong, and wondered why not go to the mountains with Ge Changfa and buy two from the people there?
After everyone finished talking about going out to sea, they also agreed on a certain time to go to Nanshan the next morning. Then Father Li hurried to Nanshan to keep watch.
Li Changle called Big Brother Li and the other two back to the house, and gave the money earned from helping to sell the fish to Big Brother Li and Second Brother Li.
The two also told him and Awei about the money from the sales of Adong's family, as well as the weight of the fish, shrimps and crabs that were sent back as dried goods.
The 1,000 yuan reserve fund for collecting fresh goods to dry had been used up long ago, and so much dry goods were collected yesterday. After several people checked the accounts, they pooled another 1,000 yuan according to their shares to collect the goods.
After the accounts were settled, Li Changle remembered something and said to Brother Li Da and Brother Li Er: "I think Ah Fu is a weird guy. Have you ever had conflicts with Ah Fu before?"
"How can there be a conflict?" Brother Li pointed at Brother Li with amusement and anger, "Let him talk to you."
Brother Li was a little speechless, but more proud, "Before your second sister-in-law found a partner with me, she had a blind date with him, but your second sister-in-law didn't like him at that time.
After a while, the matchmaker introduced me to your second sister-in-law, and we got together.
From then on, he ignored me whenever he saw me, which made me confused. Later, your second sister-in-law saw him and told me about it, and then I knew what was going on. "
Big Brother Li said dissatisfiedly: "Afu has always been narrow-minded. Because of the matter between An and your second sister-in-law, he ignored us when he saw us."
"If it was An who accompanied him to the blind date, and your second sister-in-law liked An but not him, there would be an explanation for this. But he is acting like An stole his girl?"
"Brother, are you talking about me?" Chen Yongwei said with a constipated expression, "Last year, my second cousin accompanied me on a blind date, and the person I went on the blind date with became my cousin's wife.
On the day of their wedding, I went to the wedding banquet as usual. When I got there, they felt a little embarrassed. My eldest aunt also felt embarrassed and gave me two big red envelopes, each containing 18.8 yuan!
Li Changle gave him a thumbs up, "Our Awei is still generous!"
Chen Yongwei imitated Li Changle and spread his hands, "If she doesn't like you, what can you do? Can't you be generous?"
Big Brother Li and Second Brother Li finally understood why Li Changle said that Awei was only dumb in words but not in heart, and that he could see some things more clearly than most people.
"Ah Le, Ah Wei said that Boss Gu gave you a set of diving clothes. Take it out so we can see it."
"I'll get it for you." Li Changle went into the room, took out the cardboard box, and opened it to show them.
Brother Li smiled and said, "Yes, this thing is on the big ships on the south bank. It won't be a problem to put it on and dive 20 to 30 meters."
"The day after tomorrow we'll go out to sea and go to the reefs and dive to catch grouper."
Brother Li thought about it and asked again, "Last time you said you wrote to Ah Huan and asked him to help find it, but you still haven't found it yet?"
"Everything else has been sent, except for the breathing tube. Once it arrives, we will go in the water and try it out."
Chen Yongwei had never seen it before, and he watched it several times with great interest, "I have wanted to try this thing for a long time."
Li Changle smiled and nodded, "The day after tomorrow we'll go out to sea and let you have a good time."
"Awei, have you guys agreed? It's time to go home."
At this time, Grandma Chen was shouting outside, and Chen Yongwei and others stood up and walked out.
Mother Li said, "Go to bed early. We have to get up early to make the dishes tomorrow, and you also have to work at the construction site!"
"Don't worry, you should rest early too."
……
After Brother Li and the others left, Li Changle saw that even now, Ge Changfa still hadn't asked him about going out to sea with him, and thought that Afu must have found someone else to go out to sea with him.
Thinking about what happened between him and Brother Li, he couldn't remember whether that kid Afa had told him about it before.
"Anan, I'm going to Afa's house."
"I've boiled some water, come back early."
"Okay!" Li Changle went out and walked towards Ge Changfa's house.
The villagers living in the back row were chatting and enjoying the cool in the alley. When they saw him coming, they greeted him with a smile, and some even asked him about collecting dry goods.
Li Changle repeated to them what he had said to Li Changchun's family, then went out of the alley and went to Ge Changfa's house, where the whole family was enjoying the cool in the yard.
He went in and said hello to A Xiu, then walked out with Ge Changfa.
Ge Changfa said uncomfortably, "My brother and Dao Biao have agreed to go out to sea together. I plan to come back tomorrow and tell you when we go to your house for a drink."
"That's not why I came to you." Li Changle took the cigarette he handed over and whispered, "When you were in the mountains, did Qian Acong and the others go hunting in the mountains?"
"Why not? Qian Acong's family has two hunting rifles." Ge Changfa leaned over and whispered, "There is also a pistol, which his father got when he was the brigade secretary."
"Ah Fa, what do you say? We should go to the mountains and buy them a hunting rifle. We won't do anything illegal, but if we want to protect ourselves, that thing has more intimidating power."
"Yeah, why didn't I think of that? If I have a gun, even if I encounter hijackers, it's not certain who will rob whom."
Li Changle didn't expect that everyone was more powerful than him, and said with a smile: "Then you see, when can you find time to go and have a look?" "It would be best to go tomorrow, and my brother has agreed with Dao Biao to go out to sea together, so it would be embarrassing if I don't go."
Ge Changfa thought for a moment and said, "Ah Le, why don't you go find him tomorrow and ask him to help you get a couple."
"I only met him twice. Will he..."
"What's the big deal? It's not illegal to buy a gun. Old hunters in the mountains can make guns themselves. Not to mention hunting rifles, you can also buy a rifle if you want."
Li Changle also realized that guns have not been banned yet. "Forget about the rifle. Just get a shotgun to scare people."
"Okay, then go ask tomorrow. If you can buy one for around a hundred dollars, buy one for me."
"Can I buy it for about a hundred dollars?"
Ge Changfa glanced at his neighbor and said, "If it's too expensive, my brother will definitely disagree. I have to discuss it with him. After all, it's something for the ship, and I can't afford so much money by myself."
Li Changle thought about it and said, "Okay, I'll tell you when I ask."
"I just want to go to sea with you, but my brother has a bad temper!" Ge Changfa said with a sigh, "Forget it, that's just his temper."
"What's the big deal? We can't go to the sea together. When can we go fishing together?"
Li Changle looked at him and felt that he might have really told her about that thing, but it had been so long that she couldn't remember it.
"Okay, let's make an appointment some other day."
Li Changle returned home, scooped up some hot water to wash up, and went back to the room, where she saw the two children still making noise on the bed.
Seeing the older brother who had become more lively, he smiled and walked up to him and patted him on the buttocks, "Still sleeping, you have to go to school tomorrow and get up early, if you are late you will be spanked!"
Li Xiaozhou rolled to the corner of the bed and said, "I can't hit you."
"Little thing, try and see if I can catch you!" Li Changle stretched out his hand to catch him.
"Dad," Li Xiaohai pulled him, "Alai's uncle and dad were both robbed by pirates. Are you scared?"
"What's there to be afraid of? Your father, uncle, second uncle, and uncle Awei are not vegetarians."
The little guy asked: "Dad, what is vegetarian?"
"Monks and nuns who eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures are vegetarians." Li Changle was afraid that they would ask more questions and she would not be able to answer, so she quickly took a piece of clothing and drove away the mosquitoes in the mosquito net.
He deliberately put on a fierce face and said to the two of them, "Okay, both of you go to bed quickly."
"Oh!" The brother agreed verbally and continued to mutter to himself on the bed until Zhou Ruonan came into the room, then he lay down and fell asleep obediently.
"Anan, have you packed the things we need to move tomorrow?"
"Okay." Zhou Ruonan sat on the edge of the bed, looked at him and said:
"Ah Le, I want you to take some time to go to the waterway Zhang and talk to Boss Zhang, asking them to hurry up and finish the big boat as soon as possible. If you don't have enough money, I'll go back and ask my mother to borrow from someone. Do you think this is okay?"
"The construction period of the ship is there. Even if I rush him, it can only be accelerated by ten days at most." Li Changle knew what she was worried about. After thinking about it, he told her about his plan to buy a gun.
"It would be a good idea to buy a gun and put it on the boat for self-defense." Zhou Ruonan looked at him, "You didn't work before, and your family may be a little poor, but at least your people are safe.
Ever since you went out to sea to earn money to support the family, I've discovered that the risk of fishing is much greater than that of my brother-in-law and his craft. How about we just collect fresh products at home, dry them and sell them? What do you think?"
"Wife, wait a few more years, and I'll come back to collect seafood and dry them." Li Changle put his arm around her and kissed her passionately, "Don't worry, your man is so lucky, nothing will happen to him."
"The child saw it!" Zhou Ruonan said, pushing him away and glaring at him.
Li Changle looked at the small bed opposite and said with a wry smile, "It's okay, just a kiss."
"Everyone looks like you, with a face full of garlic!" Zhou Ruonan glared at him in reproach, knowing that she couldn't persuade him, so she could only say:
"Ah Le, if you encounter hijackers, and they are more numerous and powerful, you must not fight them. Give them all your things. The money will go away, but you will be safe. As long as you are safe, that's all that matters."
"Dad, if you can't beat him, just run away. It's not shameful!" Li Xiaohai on the bed opposite suddenly said.
Li Changle laughed and scolded, "You little rascal, you pretended to be asleep and eavesdropped on our conversation!"
Li Xiaozhou pulled aside the mosquito net and stuck his head out to look at the two of them. "Dad, I saw you and Mom kissing each other."
Zhou Ruonan's face instantly turned red, "If you don't sleep well, mother will be angry."
"Li Xiaozhou, mosquitoes are coming in, go to bed!" Li Xiaohai pulled his brother in, "Why are you so talkative!"
"It was obviously you who saw mom and dad kissing first, and then you pulled me to see it, and then you said I talked too much." Li Xiaozhou said in a low voice.
Li Changle smiled awkwardly and looked at Zhou Ruonan, "Two little brats."
"You still have the nerve to say it?"
Zhou Ruonan stretched out her hand to pull the curtain in the middle, pinched the soft flesh on his waist and twisted it, complaining in a low voice, "I told you that you have grown up and you should be more careful, but you never listen."
"Wife, I'll be more careful next time..." Li Changle grabbed her hand with a grin and begged for mercy in a low voice.
