Chapter 124 Brothers play tricks
Father Li didn't want to have a meaningless argument with him, so he raised his hand and said, "Listen to what I just said. I can't do heavy work now, and the third child is useless. I work for three days to spread shrimps and four days to sift through sieves."
Since your Agui has said that your boatmen should wait in line, I will leave the eldest and the second at home to serve me, and I won’t be able to delay your business, so they won’t go out with the boat in the future.”
Li Changle, who was lying on the gun again, turned around and rolled his eyes. Everything can be pulled on my head.
Li Guigao saw that he was blocking himself with Li Changgui's words, and it was difficult for him to say the words he said, "Atang, there's nothing wrong with your legs.
Even if your third child is incompetent and you still have younger siblings and several daughters-in-law to serve you, is there no point in leaving them to guard you?"
"Raise children to protect against old age, and store grain to protect against hunger. Parents raise sons so that they will have someone to take care of them when they are sick or in pain."
Father Li looked at Li Guigao with sarcasm in his eyes, "You said this when my father was ill. Brother, why did my father insist on me staying? You don't need to tell me? Now my leg is injured and I want a child.
Is it right to stay?”
After hearing this, Li Changle immediately became energetic and looked back and forth on the faces of his father and brother Li.
Is there anything else I don’t know? Grandpa fell ill and asked Father Li to stay and take care of him? What is Li Guigao plotting against his father? I never heard anything from grandma or grandma.
After hearing this, Li Guigao thought of the past, and his expression changed a few times, "If you want to keep them here as your uncle, what can you say to me? I will try my best to talk to them about the wages."
"Then I'll trouble you." Father Li said calmly.
"Take good care of yourself. I still have things to do at home. I'll come see you when I have free time." Li Guigao said with a sigh of relief.
Father Li looked at Li Changle and said, "Ale, I'll give it to your uncle!"
"Okay!" Li Changle stood up with a smile, "Uncle, come on, come and sit at home when you have time!" He hurriedly sent the person out and hurried back to the house.
"Abba, what is going on? What is Li Guigao plotting against you again?"
Brother Li and Brother Li also looked at him curiously, "Yes, when we were at his house, he was not so easy to talk to."
"It happened when I was eighteen or nineteen years old." Father Li sighed, "When the boat shop was first established in Panzhen, I came to the village to recruit boatmen, and I was chosen by them.
Your uncle persuaded your grandpa to pretend to be ill and force me to stay and take care of him. He took my place as a worker in the shipyard. Your uncle was the eldest son and grandson, and your grandpa had always been partial to him, so he listened to him and left me behind.
Your uncle took my place at the boat shop. People thought he was unscrupulous, so he was asked to come back after working for a few days, and I had no chance."
After hearing this, the three Li Changle brothers were extremely angry, "Then why don't you settle the score with him?"
Although the shipping company is about to be disbanded, when we were in the production team, with a salary of more than ten yuan a month, life for the whole family was much better.
Father Li showed a bitter smile and said, "I was kept in the dark until your grandma left and the boss insisted on making a big deal of it. Your second uncle was so angry that he told me.
After all, so many years have passed. At that time, I grabbed him, punched him a few times, and scolded him. He had done something wrong, but he didn't dare to say anything about it, so he allowed me to beat him and scold him."
Li Changle saw that the three of them were silent and said with a playful smile: "It's a good thing you didn't become a worker, otherwise we wouldn't be here."
Brother Li looked at him in confusion, "What do you mean?"
Li Changle shrugged, "If my father becomes a worker, he won't ask our mother to be his wife. They are not married, where do we come from?"
Brother Li and Brother Li stared at each other. Is there any other way to say this?
"Eat firewood!" Li's father hit him with a cane. "I was already eighteen or nineteen years old at that time. I had been engaged to your mother-in-law a long time ago. I couldn't hold a wedding because my family had no money."
"That's it!" Li Changle lamented, "Then if you didn't tell me earlier, your eldest brother would have made it impossible for us to become working class people, and I won't spit in his face."
"A real treasure!" Li's father gave him a funny knock. "You are in your twenties. No matter how old Xiaohai is, he looks more stable than you."
Li Changle made some jokes, and the atmosphere finally became more relaxed. Since they had decided not to help the boat, Brother Li and Brother Li were going to look for second-hand boats while scouring the sea.
Father Li asked them to buy materials and make floor pots and crab pots just like Li Changle's family did. The two men were chatting lively when Sister-in-law Li came to call for dinner.
The winter melon and pork ribs soup also had some dried shrimps in it. Li Changle took a sip of the soup and then remembered the tofu stewed with jumping fish that made him drool in the morning.
After hearing this, Brother Li said that if he wanted to eat jumping fish, he could just catch it. If he couldn't finish it, he would smoke it with straw and put it in a pot for a long time.
The family finished their meal in a lively manner. As soon as they put down their chopsticks, Chen Yongwei came.
Li Changle went home and took the moth balls bought by Zhou Ruonan, and prepared to keep vigil tonight to catch Wang Mazi and the hozen.
He and Chen Yongwei brought about twenty cages with them this time. The four of them carried sacks filled with jars and buckets and walked towards the grove.
Walking in the dark alley, from a distance, it looked like he was about to have a big fight.
On the way there, Li Changle told Brother Li and Brother Li about Wang Mazi's conspiracy. The two brothers told him to go to Lucheng with confidence and that they would guard the underground cage at night.
When they were fishing in the fishery, it was normal for them to only sleep for one or two hours a night. It was not a problem for them to stay awake at night and stay in the cage.
The wind was a bit strong at night, the moonlight was obscured by clouds, and everything was dark.
When they arrived at the grove, Ah Fa and his eldest brother Ah Fu had already started to collect the cages. Li Changle looked around but did not see Wang Laobian. He saw another two families putting down cages, and there seemed to be about ten people.
"Afa, how's the catch?"
"The first net didn't work, so we caught a few hairy fish and a stone crab. The second net luckily got two blue crabs..." Ge Changfa carried the ground cage ashore, put it down and greeted everyone.
"Big brother, second brother, how is the fishing season this year?"
"It's okay!" Brother Li took the cigarette he handed him, "Are you really planning to buy a boat and travel to the sea?"
"Well! I have already agreed with my brother, how many days will you rest when you come back this time?"
"I won't go back this time. I plan to buy a second-hand boat and work offshore like your brothers."
"It's hard to find second-hand boats. My sister helped us find out the information, and they had already sold them when we walked to them."
"Take your time, you can't be too careful when buying a boat." The two of them exchanged some polite words, and Brother Li followed Chen Yongwei to collect the cage nets.
Ge Changfa turned around Li Changle, who was loading the bait, and said, "It's better for you brothers." The two brothers would rather slowly inquire about buying a boat than ask him to take out the fishing boat and re-stitch it.
"Of course our brothers are good!" Li Changle glanced at him, "Aren't your brothers also good?"
"Everything is fine, everything is fine!" Ge Changfa responded repeatedly.
Chen Yongwei and Brother Li carried the ground cages ashore. The harvest of the several ground cages they lowered this time was not very good, including one moray eel, a few anchovy, three blue crabs, two female crabs and one male crab, all of which were not very big.
The four of them worked together and moved much faster. They lowered all the dozen or so cages in just ten minutes. Brother Li and Ge Changfa stayed behind to guard the cages.
The three of them carried the small mountain of cans to the rocky beach. When they got there, the three of them took off their clothes and pants and walked towards the beach carrying the plastic cans. Wave after wave of waves washed over the beach.
After entering the water, the cold sea water dissipated the heat along the way, and countless mosquitoes kept flying and hitting the headlamp.
Brother Li is a veteran at this. After placing a string of plastic cans, he grabbed the buoy, lifted the fishing line, and started to follow the lead without any reminder from the two of them.
In the first plastic jar lives only Wangchao, one of two or two, one of them, one mouthful of which can blow your head off.
He held the tide watch and exclaimed excitedly, "This is a good idea. Buy more plastic cans and bring them back to the desert island. You will definitely catch more octopus than here."
Li Changle smiled and said, "The last time we went was the Groove Island you took me to. There is a reef beach on the island, and we will go there to drop the pot."
"No wonder your sister-in-law is jealous and insists that I come back to buy a boat to go fishing. As long as I can live in half of the hundreds of plastic cans, I can earn more than ten yuan a day."
"That's not all!" Li Changle said proudly, "Like the top-quality watch you just caught, we give it to the restaurant and sell it for 40 and 50 cents each.
As long as the goods are good, they will take as much as they want. The octopus only costs thirty kilograms at a time, and they charge a triangular kilogram."
After hearing this, Li Changping said with envy: "My dear, you only brought six strings of plastic cans this time. Including the previous ones, there were eight or nine hundred, right? We only collect a hundred Wangchao at a time, even if only half of them are top quality.
A dozen dollars."
"There are 800 plastic jars. The 200 I ordered before are collected every other day. Almost 70% to 80% of the jars are filled with goods. There are dozens of kilograms of octopus at a time, and I watch the tide for 30 or 40 octopuses."
"That's great. If this continues, we will have money to build a new house next year." Brother Li excitedly put the octopus into the bucket, and his movements were more agile than Li Changle and Chen Yongwei.
The two hundred jars were quickly collected, and more than thirty Wangtide were collected. There were about twenty top-quality ones, and the octopus weighed about thirty kilograms.
This time they brought ten strings of one thousand plastic cans. Brother Li and Brother Li placed 200 here. Li Changle placed another 300 and planned to send the rest to the puddle.
There were more plastic cans. The three of them swam a long way to finish them all. They put on their clothes and pants and carried their backpacks and walked back. They entered the mudflat halfway. Under the leadership of Chen Yongwei, they headed towards the water, one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Pit away.
Not long after the tide receded, the mud on the mudflat became even slimier, and soon my calves were covered in mud.
"Damn it! What a big blue crab!"
Li Changle exclaimed, and the blue crab, which was bigger than his hand, quickly fled towards the puddle.
He rushed over, reached out and pressed down on the crab shell to grab the blue crab, pulled out a hemp rope from his waist, quickly tied it up and put it in the bucket.
The movement was so neat that Li Changping was dumbfounded, "Okay, Ah Le, you can tie blue crabs faster than me." He then pointed to his waistband, "Why did you remember to tie the hemp rope to his waistband?"
of?"
"When we moved crabs, we didn't bring enough rope, so we broke a lot of crab claws and claws, and sold them for a lot less money. From then on, I learned a lesson and brought a lot of hemp rope with me every time I went out."
