Chapter 365 Sweetness

The few of them drank two bowls of bean flour and a plate of dumplings, and their empty stomachs immediately felt comfortable.

Li Changle handed the list of goods to Li Changxi, "Sister, there are 7,680 kilograms of fresh goods in total. You can sell them and pay us the money."

Li Changxi took the list and said to the three of them gratefully, "Second brother, Ale, Awei, thank you!"

"One family does not speak two languages."

After they packed up their things and walked out, Li Changle thought for a moment and then said, "Sister, as long as he's not looking for trouble on purpose, there's no need to argue with that unreasonable customer, just return the money to him.

If you run a business and quarrel with a customer for any reason, the only one who suffers is the store owner.”

"I know. If I meet someone who is unreasonable, I can just return the money to him. At worst, I can keep it for myself."

Li Changxi said with a smile as he looked at his second brother Li, "Brother, Ah Le is so diligent and sensible now, I feel like I am dreaming."

"Of course not! My eldest brother and I just came back from the sea, and I heard from your second sister-in-law that Ah Le has started to make money. I thought I heard it wrongly!"

Li Changle thought of himself who wanted to make a lot of money by selling goods every day, and his face turned red. "Are you two praising me or belittling me?"

"Brother, I heard that Second Brother and Sister A Xi are praising you!" Chen Yongwei said seriously.

"..." Li Changle grabbed his shoulders, "What country are you from, little brat?"

Chen Yongwei didn't hesitate, "Of course we are from the same country as you!"

Li Erge and Li Changxi were so happy that their teeth were showing. "Ah Le, Ah Wei has been from the same country as you since he was a child."

"Forget it. We can't win over this brat!" Li Changle waved at Li Changxi, "Let's go to the dock."

Half an hour later, the fishing boat docked at Zhangjia Pier, and Li Changle told Lao Zhang about making the longline fishing winch.

Lao Zhang calculated the time and said, "It can be done in four days. Do you think we should stop the boat at the pier to install it, or install it four days later?"

"I'll stop here first. I'll go back and see if the wind is strong enough."

"The weather forecast says that the wind speed in some areas will be between level 7 and 9. I don't know when it will stop."

"We can only rest for a few days." Li Changle and the other two handed the keys to Lao Zhang, and carried the bamboo baskets and buckets back to Shatou Village through the small path.

Back in Nanshan'ao, Mrs. Li and her sisters-in-law, along with a dozen other women, were drying fish jerky on the open ground, while Mother Li and Grandma Chen were busy cooking in the kitchen.

"Ah Le, has your sister's shop opened yet?"

"It's out." Li Changle and the other two put down the bamboo baskets and saw Big Brother Li and Zhang Dejin, along with a few laborers, pulling a cart coming from the intersection. The three of them hurried over to help push the cart.

When the cart reached the foot of the mountain at the west end, the people saw that the foot of the mountain was already piled with yellow bricks, tiles and oyster ash.

After unloading the bricks and tiles from the cart, Brother Li and his men pulled the cart away.

Zhang Dejin stopped Li Changle and said, "I have already ordered the rafters and purlins at the timber factory. I think the wood you bought last time can also be used for the beams, so I didn't buy the beams.

I plan to build a large room. The middle pillars can be made of wood or bricks. What do you think?"

Li Changle smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, you are the master chef, use whatever you think is best!"

"Then I'll use wood. It doesn't take up much space and is as strong as bricks."

"Do you have enough wood at home to make pillars?"

"We still need a few more. Take some time to go to the mountains and buy a few more."

"it is good!"

"I told the carpenter to install the wooden frame and the hook rings at once, so you don't have to find another carpenter later."

"Just make the arrangements." Li Changle looked at him with a smile, "Brother-in-law, guess how much money my sister sold this morning?"

"More than a hundred yuan?" Seeing his proud look, Zhang Dejin deliberately said more.

Li Changle took a step forward and whispered, "We sold more than 360 when we left."

Zhang Dejin looked at him in surprise, "Are you trying to make me happy?"

"If you don't believe me, go ask my second brother and Awei." Li Changle said proudly, "We helped kill the fish for three hours... You have to take some time to learn from your father and eldest brother how to kill and chop fish."

"I will definitely study hard." Zhang Dejin scratched his head happily, "Go wash up quickly, you stink of fish."

"No rush, bring the bricks and tiles back first."

"It's just the last two cars. We can do it. Go wash yours."

"Okay!" Li Changle went to the ditch to wash himself clean and came back with the children. His two sons happily held his hands.

"Dad, when did you come back?"

"You came back in the early morning. Hurry and put down your schoolbag." Li Changle turned his head to look at Zhou Ruonan. When their eyes met, she was still smiling, but then she glared at him angrily.

"You didn't even come back to sleep when you got home. You felt comfortable sleeping on the boat? Look at you, your eyes are bloodshot. You want to die, right?"

"It's okay. The monsoon is here. This time I can rest at home for a few days." Li Changle smiled and pulled her hand. "We finished our work at two o'clock. I didn't come back so late to wake you up."

Zhou Ruonan glanced around, quickly broke free from him, and gave him a reproachful look, "We knew you came back last night, how could we sleep well if we didn't see you?"

"So you didn't see me and you were worried!" Li Changle said with a grin, "Then I'll go home as soon as I come back next time and let you take a look before I go back to work."

"Who wants to see you?" Zhou Ruonan said, patting him, "Hurry up and change your wet clothes."

"Yes, sir!" Li Changle walked up the stairs, "Wife, help me find my clothes."

"Wait!" Zhou Ruonan went to the clothesline and collected a set of clothes that he usually wore when working. He went into the room and gave it to him, "Here!"

Li Changle took the clothes, closed the door with his backhand, and hugged her, "You didn't call me when you fell asleep the night before. I missed you so much!"

"Thinking that I was still on the boat last night and didn't come back, you just said nice things to coax me." Zhou Ruonan twisted his ear and said, "Put me down quickly, the people working outside will see me."

Li Changle put her down and said, "This time I will stay at home with you for a few days."

"There are so many things going on at home! The house hasn't even been built yet, and you've asked someone to build a room to dry the dried fish. People in the village are saying that you've made a lot of money."

"Don't you know whether you have made a lot of money or not?" Li Changle held her in his arms, "Earn more money while you are still young. When you retire, we can travel around."

"It's good enough that I can travel all over Taizhou!" Zhou Ruonan glared at him in reproach, feeling sweet in her heart, "I have already given Ah Yu the 500 yuan you said you would lend him.

I heard from Doctor Xiang that Xiang and his wife had already weighed out the withheld grain to Xiaoyu's family, and several elders of the Xiang family had gone there at that time.

Only then did I realize that Xiaoyu's family had given the Xiang family their farmland for the past few years, but they had not provided enough food for each season. No wonder the two brothers had no food to eat and were starving to death."

"Fuck, they are my own sons and nephews, but I didn't see them helping me at all, and they even withheld food. Are they still human?"

"There are so many people who are not human. Have you forgotten what happened to my father and what my brother, sister-in-law and the people in the clan did?"

"You're right. Did the Xiang family pay back the food that they owed the Xiaoyu brothers?"

"I paid it back." Zhou Ruonan said, "Xiaoyu listened to you and went to call Doctor Xiang before paying back the money to Mr. Xiang. The old man only realized that he had paid back so much interest after hearing it.

It turned out that ever since Xiaoyu's parents passed away, the Xiang family had agreed with Xiang Da and his wife that they would pay back the money they had borrowed when Xiaoyu's parents were alive when the two brothers grew up and could earn money.

Only the principal was repaid but not the interest, which made Mrs. Xiang unhappy. She has been withholding food from the two brothers over the years. Now Xiaoyu has paid back the interest as well as the principal.

Several elders of the Xiang family asked them to give all the more than 1,000 kilograms of grain owed to the Xiaoyu brothers over the years."

"Tsk tsk! Aren't they afraid that Xiaoyu's parents will come looking for them at night?"

"Have you never heard that ghosts are also afraid of evil people?"

"Yeah, if they were afraid they wouldn't do that." Li Changle remembered that Xiang Dajia had always been a bad person. When his two sons grew up, nothing went well for them. She wondered if it was retribution?

"Also, your friend in town brought a menu and asked you to help get some fresh food." Zhou Ruonan said worriedly, "It's windy, so we can't go out to sea now. It will be troublesome if we delay their wedding."

"The wedding is on September 16th, I can make it." Li Changle picked up the list and took a look. It said 30 large yellow croakers weighing more than a pound, eels, white crabs, prawns...

"It's good as long as we can catch up. If we can't go out to sea a few days before the 16th, you have to inform people as soon as possible." After Zhou Ruonan said this, she went out with the dirty clothes in her arms.

Li Changle put the menu in the drawer, and the two sons pushed the door open and came in, "Dad, grandma asked you to go to the beach and help carry the big vat back."

"Go now!"

Li Changle went out, and the two little guys followed him. Li Xiaozhou held his and his brother's hands and said, "Dad, has our big ship returned?"

"Dad went to Zhangjia Wharf to install a winch." He turned to look at his eldest son, "Mom said you got A's in all the exams this time. My eldest son is really good. Study hard. Dad will take you to Lucheng to see your grandmother during the holidays."

Li Xiaohai nodded, "Dad, when our new house is built, can we bring grandma over to live with us?"

Li Xiaozhou said hurriedly: "Dad, I like living with grandma. Grandma can tell stories and make little rabbits."

"Okay! When the new house is built, we will go and invite grandma to live with us."

"Oh yeah! We are going to invite grandma to live with us!" Li Xiaozhou happily grabbed Li Xiaohai's hand, and skipped back and forth in front, his fluffy curly hair jumping along with him, looking so cute.

Li Xiaohai grabbed him and said, "You're walking backwards again. You tripped over a rock yesterday and fell!"

"Got it!" The little guy wrinkled his nose, touched his butt with his backhand, and held Li Changle's hand. "Mother said that you won't go out to sea these few days, so you can take us to catch crabs."

Li Xiaohai hurriedly said: "Dad, I'm very good at catching crabs. I'm not afraid of their big claws."

Li Changle didn't expect that they remembered that he took Xiaohui to the sea, so he smiled and took his two sons in his arms, "Okay, Dad will take you to catch crabs."
