Chapter 302 Ah Fa's Frustration

Li Changle pulled the cart, Zhou Ruonan and Li Dasao chatted as they walked, and the two sisters-in-law lent a hand from time to time from the back to help push the cart, and they soon arrived at Nanshan.

When we walked outside the construction site, we saw Li Ersao and Li Xiaoyang and his siblings helping to dry the fish jerky. The younger ones in the family were also helping with the work.

"Dad is back, Dad is back with some delicious food!" When Li Xiaozhou saw him coming back, he dropped the mackerel in his hand and ran towards him.

Zhou Ruonan looked at the bucket and asked, "Did you buy them some rice rolls?"

Li Changle slapped his forehead and said, "Oh no! I forgot everything!"

He wanted to sleep on the floor early last night, and promised his two sons that he would buy them rice cakes after selling the fish today. But after selling the fish, he was busy going home and forgot about it completely.

"Then tell them." Seeing her son's food coming, Zhou Ruonan picked up the cotton wool guiltily and walked into the house.

Li Changle saw his son running towards him excitedly, and hurriedly took out a dollar from his pocket and handed it to him, "Dad was busy going home and forgot to buy you delicious food. Ask your brother and sister to go to Grandpa's house to buy popsicles."

"Okay, remember to buy it for us next time." The child happily took the dollar and called out to his brothers and sisters to go to the store with him.

Li Xiaoqing shook her head, "I don't want to go. Buy me a sticky rice popsicle."

Li Xiaohui also shook her head, "I don't want to go either. Buy me a red bean paste one."

"I want one with red bean paste too." Li Xiaoyang said in a hoarse voice.

"Oh!" Li Xiaotao and Li Xiaobo each held one of Li Xiaomei's hands and followed the Li Xiaozhou brothers towards the village.

Li Xiaoyang pulled Li Changle and said, "Uncle San, my father said that our big boat can pull up more than a thousand kilograms of fish at a time?"

"Yes!" Li Changle looked at him proudly, "The machine pulls the net, unlike before, when we had to pull the net with great effort."

"Come back tomorrow, I'll go to the dock and take a look at the boat."

"The day after tomorrow! We'll go out to sea tomorrow morning and stay overnight on the sea. The day after tomorrow you can take your brother and sister-in-law to the dock to see the big ship."

"Okay!" After Li Xiaoyang asked clearly, he followed Li Xiaohai and others to buy popsicles.

Father Li came back carrying a load of green croaker and told Li Changle that Accountant Chen had brought a team leader to measure the land next to his house. The open space in front and behind was two-thirds the size in total. They would go to the town in the afternoon to get the red book.

Li Changle gave him fifty yuan and said, "Dad, when you and Uncle Dong go to get the red book, don't feel bad when you buy things."

"I have it here. I'll tell you when I get back!" Father Li stuffed the money back into his pocket and said, "I told him about the water area giving the job to Ah Shui.

Ah Shui was so happy that he told me that he would help look after the traps and jars, and he also said that if you don’t want to go to the open sea in the future, he would return them to you.”

"it is good!"

Li Changle came into the room and his mother took out another cloth bag for him. "Your brother-in-law brought it back. He said he sold twelve watches for a total of one thousand and thirty yuan. The remaining three will be given to you after they are sold."

"It's okay, just leave it there and sell it slowly!" Li Changle counted the money and found that all the money was there. "I said I would give them a commission, why did you bring it all here?"

"Your brother-in-law said that it was just a matter of talking, so how could he ask for your commission. He also said that if you really want to give it to him, he will count the money for the watches and fabrics he gave them as money to you."

"Where's my brother-in-law?"

"After dinner, take a rest with a few masters in the empty room." Li's mother said, "Don't force it on them. Why should the family be so clear? When they have difficulties in the future, you can lend a hand."

"I understand." Li Changle turned around with his bag, and his mother called him again.

"When your aunt came to help kill the fish, she told me that the Ah Fa brothers had a quarrel yesterday about breaking up the group."

"Is it that Afu refuses to break up, or what?"

"I agree!" Mother Li thought of her sisters wiping tears and said with a sigh, "Afu and his wife do not agree to withdraw the shares according to Afa's investment. They only agree to withdraw 80%.

Afa agreed, but his wife disagreed, saying that there were people willing to buy it even at the original price, so why should he withdraw his shares at a loss?
Afu's wife said that all the fishing and boating work was done by her husband, and Afa didn't know anything and just went out to sea with him every day to share the money.

Ah Fa asked Ah Fu if he thought the same thing. Ah Fu replied, "You don't know anything anyway!" The two brothers started arguing.

Your aunt said that it was Afu's wife who instigated it. In my opinion, birds of a feather flock together. Both husband and wife are of the same kind."

"I'll go to his house after I come back from delivering the goods." Li Changle didn't expect this to happen. He thought Ge Changfa had gone out to sea and hadn't returned yet!
"I'll send it off after dinner. You put the money away and go to the beach to call Anan and the others back for dinner."

After the family sat down to eat, Li Changle weighed the mantis shrimps and mackerel heads, rode the tricycle to the old house to weigh two hundred kilograms of jellyfish heads, and pulled them towards Tuxia Bridge.

When passing through the alley, his old neighbors kept asking him about the big ship. Li Changle answered them with a smile. When he walked out of the alley, he saw Ge Changfa sitting astride a bicycle and looking at him.

"I also said that I would come to your place to find you after I got back from the delivery."

Ge Changfa smiled and handed him a cigarette, "I'm going to Nanshan to find you. Auntie said you came to the old house."

Li Changle smiled and said, "Is there anything going on? If nothing, let's go paint the bridge together?"

"I'm here to talk to you about buying a boat, and we can talk about it on the way." Ge Changfa turned the bike around and rode his bicycle side by side with him towards the outside of the village.

"Captain Awei has gone out to collect the traps. When he comes back, he will take you to see the boat."

"Okay! I'll give you the money when I get back." "My boat... is seven hundred and two hundred in total, just give me that price."

"A Le!" Ge Changfa braked his bicycle and looked at him, not knowing what to say.

He also knew that Agen bought Brother Li's boat for 888 yuan, and thought it would be at least that much. Unexpectedly...

He thought about how he and his eldest brother had worked together for a month and although they had earned some money, he had to pay the bulk of the money for buying the boat.

We broke up yesterday and had a huge fight. In the end, it took my parents' intervention to get me back 90% of the shares. My real brothers are not as good as my good buddies.

"Fuck!" Li Changle rubbed his arms exaggeratedly, "Why are you looking at me like that? I'm getting goosebumps."

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in you!" Ge Changfa laughed and punched him, "Thank you!"

"It's no use talking, it would be better to treat me to a good meal with some good wine and food."

"Okay, let's go to Tuxia Bridge later and buy your favorite braised duck to go with your wine."

"Then I won't be polite."

The two of them chatted and laughed as they hurried towards Tuxia Bridge. After delivering the goods, they went to a stall selling braised dishes in the market, bought some braised food and walked back.

When he got home, Li's mother told him that Chen Yongwei and Acheng had caught more than ten sea ducks and picked up half a basket of duck eggs. They were now riding their bicycles to Tuxia Bridge to deliver their catch.

"He rode a bicycle, so why didn't we meet him on the road?"

"He took Ah Cheng with him, and probably sent him back to Laotangan."

Li Changle took the diesel engine crank and key, took Ge Changfa to the dock to check out the ship, and then handed the crank and key to him.

"Ah Fa, we signed up for the Boss, Old Rules... these certificates at Shuilu Zhang yesterday, and also signed up for my dad. You should go and take the exams when you have time."

"What news have you heard?"

"I heard from Captain Zhou that we will check the qualifications of fishing boat workers in the future."

"Oh! Then I'll go to Shuilu Zhang someday and ask Boss Zhang to sign up, and then we can take the exam together."

After the two men got ashore, Ge Changfa took him home and gave him 720 yuan for the boat fare. When Li Xiu heard that Li Changle only charged them 720 yuan, he was extremely grateful.

"Afa, go catch a big rooster. I'll go to the dock to buy some fresh food and invite Ale to have a drink at home tonight." Li Xiu picked up the basket and walked outside.

"Okay!" Ge Changfa agreed and walked towards the courtyard. Li Changle hurriedly pulled him back and called Li Xiu, "Sister-in-law, my family has some fresh food, and Ah Fa bought some stewed food. We agreed to go to my house to eat together in the evening."

"Is that so?" Li Xiu put down the basket, "Then I'll catch another big rooster and go to your house to help Teacher Zhou cook it."

Ge Chang said with a smile: "Ah Le, it's rare for a stingy guy to be generous. Let her catch it."

Li Xiu rolled his eyes at him and said, "It depends on who you are. For people like your brother and sister-in-law, I wouldn't even give them a shit."

After hearing this, Ge Changfa's face darkened. "Don't say any more. Just don't have any contact with us in the future."

Li Xiu sneered, "If you don't tell me, then let your brother and sister-in-law behave like a human being and stop cheating your brother's money!"

Seeing that the two were arguing, Li Changle quickly pulled Ge Changfa and said, "Let's go, go to my house and help with the work."

Ge Changfa followed him out. When he reached the foot of the mountain, he took two deep puffs of his cigarette, stamped out the cigarette butt, sighed, and said to Li Changle:

"Ah Le, my brother and sister-in-law treated me like that. Not only is Ah Xiu unhappy, I feel aggrieved too."

Li Changle advised: "Forget it, we are all brothers. Just like you said, we should have less contact in the future."

"A Xiu is angry, and I feel very aggrieved too!"

Ge Changfa said, "I really envy you and my elder brother. I also want to be like you, brothers working together to make money, but if I just want to do it alone, it will be useless.

In the first half month of our partnership, we could earn about 10 yuan a day, except for the diesel money. Later, I followed your example and found a sea area with many islands for operation.

The catch gradually increased, and after August, I could earn two to three hundred yuan a day on a good day. I was very happy, thinking that if I continued like this, I would have enough money to order a metal boat by the end of the year.

On the fourth day of August, my sister-in-law came to the dock to help sort the fish and told me that she wanted to take two fresh goods back to her parents' home.

I let her take what she wanted, and she took away the best silver pomfret and two groupers.

My eldest brother said something to her, and the two of them started arguing on the boat. I could only mediate and let my eldest sister-in-law take the fish away.

The next day, when the eldest sister-in-law came to help sort the food, she took away a few large hairtail fish and a few large blue crabs full of roe, saying that her mother was not feeling well, and she sent them to her for nourishment.

Until the day before yesterday, the total amount of fish taken away was about one hundred yuan, and except for the first time he mentioned her, my brother never said a word to her afterwards.

You gave your parents cheap seafood, I have nothing to say, but you always picked out the good stuff, I think it's not right, I want to say something but I don't know how to start. "

　Thank you for your support! Thank you!
