Chapter 118 Dad is bragging again
Mother Li happily said to Uncle Wang: "These children in my family fight each other when they are at home. When they go out to fight with other children, they are quite united. Whenever they see them, they swarm in."
"That's right, brothers and sisters should be nice and friendly, so as not to be bullied when they go out to play." Uncle Wang pointed to the ribs hanging there, "You all should be good, I will keep all the meat and bones from my uncle's house for you."
.”
Li Xiaotao hurriedly said: "Uncle, let me learn how to kill pigs from now on, so that you can eat whatever meat you want."
Brother Li laughed heartily. The knife that Sister Li stabbed at her younger son's eyes was about to turn into reality. How come these two debt collectors were born?
The older one doesn't study hard and wants to go to the beach all day long to earn money. The younger one is like a duck reincarnated and wants to eat delicious food every day. What kind of fate does she have?
When Li Xiaotao saw Li Yongping smiling, he thought it was a good idea to learn how to kill pigs. He was so proud that he wanted to say something else. Li Xiaohai, who was sitting next to him, quickly turned him around and said, "Brother A Tao, my uncle is looking at you!"
Li Xiaoqing glanced at his brother with disgust, "Don't look down on us, don't drag us down!"
"Be honest, I will beat you if you drag me down!" Li Xiaoyang warned in a low voice.
As soon as the thought of Abba's novelty towards them wore off, Aniang would start to file a complaint and settle the old and new accounts together. Abba was so strong that the bamboo splints slapped his buttocks and it hurt.
Forget it, I'd better be honest these two days and don't light firecrackers.
Li Xiaotao turned his head and glanced at his mother-in-law, quickly retracted his neck, and ate corn honestly like a little daughter-in-law.
Brother Li laughed heartily, "Uncle, these two in my family are the naughtiest, but Xiaoqing is the best-behaved. She is also a daughter, and she will feel sorry for her parents."
Uncle Wang nodded, "Yes, your two cousins ​​are obedient. They help find firewood and wash the water every day. They are extremely diligent."
Li Changle looked at the children in a funny way, feeling that the children from the eldest brother's family were the most like children. The three children from the second brother's family were taught very well and strictly by the second sister-in-law. Only Xiaomei was more lively.
Needless to say, there are two in my family. The eldest son takes care of the younger son better than me.
Grandma Chen lovingly served braised pork to several children, "Eat more meat and you will become as strong as Uncle Ah Wei."
The children like to eat spareribs and braised pork, and they don’t even touch the seafood. Everyone’s mouths are full of oil.
After the children finished eating, they went to the alley to play with their friends. The men chatted while eating, and did not get off the table until the food was cold.
Brother Li and Brother Li drank a little too much, so they went back to rest after leaving the table.
When Uncle Wang left, Li Changle took Pipi shrimps, nine-section shrimps, crabs, and mackerel heads. His two sisters-in-law brought hairtail, yellow croaker, and cuttlefish for him to take away.
Mother Li sent her younger brother to the entrance of the village, then turned around and walked back, thinking happily that her younger brother had been helping them for so many years, and she could finally help him once.
Li Changle was also tipsy, took out the money from selling the large grouper, and proudly said to Chen Yongwei: "Uncle Kun gave me a good price, selling it for five yuan a catty!"
"My dear, there are so many!" Chen Yongwei said happily, "I thought I could sell it for three yuan at most. Why is Uncle Kun so generous this time?"
"Five yuan is probably what they charge at the seafood store."
Chen Yongwei felt distressed when he thought of the price they sold to the seafood shop. "Brother, when we get rich, we will also open a seafood shop. I will fish every day and you will keep the shop. Business will definitely be good."
"Doing business is not as simple as you think. Capital interest, labor, water, electricity, transportation, and shop rent all cost money, and people have to calculate the cost!"
Zhou Ruonan, who was weaving a net on the side, looked at the man who spoke so eloquently, and felt like he was back to the time when he was looking for a partner. At that time, he seemed to be able to do anything, especially that mouth, no matter what.
Everything you say makes sense.
"You also have to pay for water?" Chen Yongwei felt that his brother was so powerful that he even knew all this.
"There is no money in the city. We raise seafood and bring it back from the sea, but they still have to add sea salt!"
"Yes, they even have to spend money to buy green onions." Chen Yongwei thought for a while, "Brother, I still think it's good to open a seafood business. It's easy to earn more!"
"That's for sure!" Li Changle felt that with the current market conditions, opening a seafood shop would require at least tens of thousands of funds. "Don't think about it now, wait until you make money later."
"I know, let's work harder, and sooner or later it will open."
"Yes! Only when you have ideas can you be motivated!" Li Changle continued, "I took away the sand squid, rice fish, sea bass, horsehead fish, and blue crabs. The three of us will share the money earned this time.
"
He went to see it, and Ah Fa also brought him the blue crabs he had caught, as well as the sand crabs. He was told to pay him, but he would definitely not take them, so he could only compensate him in this way.
Chen Yongwei frowned and shook his head, "Brother, you can't calculate it like this. You didn't use it to sell it for money, but to honor your sister-in-law. If you still calculate the money and give it to me, aren't you slapping me in the face?"
"Listen to me," Li Changle patted him. "If these fish were brought here today, they would cost at least ten or twenty yuan more. If it was just the two of us going this time, I certainly wouldn't think so, but with Ah Fa
Now, I have to calculate it this way."
Chen Yongwei became happy after hearing this, "Oh! I understand, should I send the money to Brother Afa, or should I let him get it?"
Li Changle counted a hundred yuan and gave it to him, "You take it over to him. I have to go to sleep. I have to drop off the remaining cans at the reef beach at night and collect the cans on the way."
"Oh!" Chen Yongwei took the money, "I want to go back and take a nap too."
Li Changle nodded, and after he left, he pulled up a chair and sat next to Zhou Ruonan, "Are the new clothes ready?"
Zhou Ruonan smiled and said: "I still have a little more to do. I still have two sons who haven't done it. I will do it when Axiang comes back from delivering the net."
They didn't have a sewing machine at home. Ah Xiang, who made the hair net, was friends with Zhou Ruonan. She had a sewing machine at home, so I went to her house and made it in one afternoon.
Li Changle finally remembered what he needed most right now, "When we go to Lucheng this time, we're going to buy a sewing machine." He remembered that there was a black market in an old street not far from his mother-in-law's house.
Most of the goods I got from the goods were traded there. When I was unloading the cans at night, I told Awei that I would go to the black market to buy watches. The price was much cheaper than in department stores.
"If you don't often make clothes, why would you buy a sewing machine?" Zhou Ruonan glared at him angrily, "Nowadays, the materials of clothes are so good, a new pair of clothes can last for several years!"
"The most important thing now is to save money to build a new house. The children are getting older. It would be bad for them if they saw us when we were there."
Li Changle saw that the roots of her ears were turning red. Seeing that there was no one outside the house, Li Changle quickly pinched her ears and said, "Who are we? We all slept well at night!"
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you!" Zhou Ruonan stretched out her hand and pinched him, "Go to bed quickly to avoid being exhausted at night!"
"I didn't serve you last night... hiss... it hurts! I won't say anything anymore, go to bed!" Li Changle begged for mercy while holding her hand that was twisting the soft flesh of her thigh, "It's so small, it's bigger than a blue crab's claws.
sharp!"
Zhou Ruonan gave him a sideways look, "If you dare to talk nonsense again, let's see if I still care about you!"
"Don't tell me, don't tell me, I'm going to bed." Li Changle went up to her, kissed her, and ran towards the room.
Zhou Ruonan watched him run away, stood up with a pursed smile, patted the dust on his body, and went out to call his two sons back for a nap.
Before they even walked out of the yard, they saw two children running back from the back alley, their faces flushed with sweat.
As soon as Li Xiaozhou saw her, he said: "Mom, I'm so thirsty!"
"Go home and drink water!" Zhou Ruonan held one hand and said, "It's so hot. Don't run too fast in the heat. Isn't it a joke to get heat stroke?"
Li Xiaohai suffered from heatstroke and his face turned pale at that time. Zhou Ruonan was so frightened that he quickly sent the village doctor to drink Huoxiang Zhengqi water and Li's mother gave him scraping.
"That potion tastes so bad to drink, and it hurts so much when Grandma grabs her neck."
"Then you are still running so fast!" Zhou Ruonan gave the two of them a drink of water, and then scooped out hot water and gave them a scrub. "Go back to the house and don't make any noise. Dad is going to sleep. He has to go down the jar to catch the eighties at night.
Clawfish.”
"Auntie, what are you doing?"
"Aniang will make you new clothes to wear at grandma's house tomorrow."
"Aniang," Li Xiaozhou looked at her with bright eyes, "I want a navy uniform, the same kind as uncle."
Zhou Ruonan pinched his little nose and said, "Uncle's is a military uniform, you can't wear it."
Li Xiaohai also thinks the navy uniform looks good, "Mom, the new clothes Lao Wuyou bought for him are the navy uniform, and there are two ribbons, they look good."
"That's it!" Zhou Ruonan thought about the aqua blue material Li Changle bought, and with the addition of white indeed, Liang should be able to make it, "I'll go to Lao Wuyou's house later and borrow his clothes to take a look at.
If you can do it, I’ll ask Aunt Axiang to do it for you. Can’t you just do it next time?”
"Uh-huh!"
The two brothers went back to the house to sleep hand in hand. When they saw Li Changle lying on the bed with his head in his arms, Li Xiaohai quickly climbed onto the bed and said, "Auntie has made new clothes for us. Dad, do you have new clothes?"
"Abba, no, your father is handsome, and he looks just as good in old clothes!"
Li Xiaohai shaved his cheek, "Shame on you, dad is bragging again!"
"Abba, I'm not bragging. Abba is the prettiest!" Li Xiaozhou threw off his shoes, climbed up quickly, and pounced on him, "Abba, Aniang is going to make navy uniforms for us, sir.
Wuyou looks good in what she wears."
"Hey!" Li Changle grabbed his arm and lifted him up, "You little rascal, you almost squeezed my shit out!"
"Hee hee!" The little guy happily turned somersaults on the bed, "Shame, shame, dad pooped in his crotch!"
"Little thing!" Li Changle stretched out his hand to pick him up, then reached into his squeaking nest, tickling the little guy so much that he shrank into a ball with laughter.
Li Xiaohai also joined the battle group, and the father and son laughed together on the bed.
