Chapter 194 He was working for nothing
After chatting with his nephew, Li Changle felt from the bottom of his heart that the current environment was good. The children were having fun. Any unhappiness he had had disappeared when he went out for a run, fished with his friends, climbed trees, and played around.
.
I went into the house and changed my wet pants, and took a dry towel to wipe my hair, but when I raised my hand halfway, my arms were terribly sore. I took the towel and went out, intending to ask Zhou Ruonan to help wipe it, but when I went out, I saw Brother Li leaving.
Come in.
"Ale, here's the active oil for you!" Li Changping handed him a dark brown medicine bottle, "Apply it to your arms, shoulders and calves, rub it in vigorously, and just take a day off tomorrow and you'll be fine."
Thinking that he couldn't raise his hand any higher, he added, "Sit down and I'll wipe it for you. If it's not rubbed away, I won't even be able to hold chopsticks tomorrow."
"Okay!" Li Changle handed him the medicine bottle and sat back, "Where is the pile of wood that Brother Qian sent?"
"The house is full of water tanks, where is there room to pile wood? It's all piled up at Awei's house."
Brother Li poured some active oil into the palm of his hand, grabbed his arm, rubbed it again, and rubbed it vigorously.
"It hurts so much, can you please be gentle?" Li Changle grinned in pain.
"It only hurts for a short time now. You will have to hurt for at least two or three days to feel comfortable now." Brother Li laughed and said, "My father said that my brother-in-law and the carpenter came to see the wood and said that Afa's friend was a nice person and the wood he sent was all good."
Good stuff.”
"I heard that all the wood was saved in the past!" Li Changle thought that except for the canopy bed for the wedding, the wooden box for Nan's dowry, and the Eight Immortals table, there was not even a single decent piece of furniture at home.
"Brother, the money from selling the fish today is enough to build a new house. Why don't you give me more money to buy a few cubic meters of wood and make some furniture? What do you think?"
"Your sister-in-law said that she wants to make two beds, cabinets and other things. When you have money later, you can hire someone to do it."
"The same goes for my family. The bed Xiaohai Xiaozhou sleeps on is still made of wooden boards. I have to buy one for them this time."
Brother Li felt happy again when he thought about what he had earned today, "A'an told me just now that he never even dreamed of the day when he could build a new house without paying any debts."
Seeing his happy look, Li Changle also laughed, "Brother, are those beads at home still for sale?"
Brother Li nodded, "Including the money from selling beads, there's still two thousand left. It won't be enough if we don't sell them."
"With what I earned this time, my family has enough money to build a house. I want to keep three golden beads and give A Nan a set of jewelry."
"That's right. Ah Nan doesn't think our family is poor, nor does he think you're useless. I'll follow you with peace of mind. Now that I'm rich, I should buy one or two pieces of jewelry for others."
Brother Li said as he thought of his wife Fang, "Your sister-in-law likes gold chains. When I make money, I will give her one too."
"It should!"
"You and Awei will have a day off at home tomorrow. A'an and I will go to the sea area where we caught silver pomfret today early in the morning and take back the ground cage."
"I will go to Lucheng tomorrow to pick up my son. I will also take the beads to sell, and the oyster meat and dried shrimps to my mother-in-law to sell."
"Okay." Brother Li patted his calf, "Okay. Dad is cooking the shrimps. I'll help peel the shrimps."
"Brother, if you want to dry the dried goods at home, you have to go to the fishing line factory to buy a batch of fishing lines, weave a batch of nets and cover them on the bamboo frame. After the sanitation is done, the dried goods can be marketed."
"Not only do we need to buy fishing lines, but we also need to hire people to weave long bamboo strips and cut moso bamboo to build a frame." Brother Li thought for a while, "A'an and I will come back early tomorrow and go up the mountain to cut moso bamboo."
"Brother, it's better to hire someone to do it yourself than to hire someone to do it. It only costs three yuan a day. Let's go out for a trip. If we're lucky, the money from the sale will be enough to hire a craftsman for a month."
Brother Li thought about the fish harvest these days, "What you said makes sense. It can be set up in two days by hiring a few more people, and we will be free to do our own things."
Li Changle smiled and nodded, "That's right!"
"I'll go tell my father and ask him to invite someone tomorrow."
Brother Li had strong hands. After applying the active oil, Li Changle felt that his sore shoulders and arms were warm, and he felt much better.
I went into the house and found a cotton shirt and trousers to put on. When I went out, I saw that three baskets of killed fish had been packed. Li Yufang came to help at some point.
"Xiaofang, has Fourth Uncle come home?"
"When I came here, I hadn't come back yet. My mother-in-law asked my brother to go to Tuxiaqiao Pier to look for him."
Mother Li took it and said, "It's so late and there's no car. How long can we walk?"
"What can I do? If I don't go, she will scold me in the yard." Li Yufang paused, "My brother is also worried that if he sells the fish, three hands on the street will look at him and steal the money."
Thinking of Li Ah Si's temperament, Mother Li thought it was really possible, "Ah Si also caught one or two thousand kilograms of fish. If there are many big fish, he can earn several hundred yuan!"
Li Changle thought about the fairy dance these days, and thought that it would be better if Li Asi just went for a massage to relax.
Li Yufang gritted her teeth and said, "It's better to steal it with three hands than give it to the Xu family's nest of blood-sucking worms!"
"Damn girl, do you still want your reputation?" Mother Li glanced at Li Yufang, then turned to look at Li Changle, "Ale, can you ask Awei to go to the town to help you?"
"Okay." Li Changle stepped out on the tricycle with pain all over his body, and suddenly felt as if he had shot himself in the foot.
When I arrived outside Chen's courtyard, I saw that the lights were still on inside. I walked into the courtyard and shouted, and Chen Yongwei ran out wearing a pair of trousers.
"Brother, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
"Stop talking and come with me to town."
"Oh!" Chen Yongwei turned around and entered the house, put on his clothes and pushed his bicycle out. When he learned that he was looking for Li A Si, he stared in surprise, "Uncle Li Si hasn't come back yet? Did he really go to the hair salon to get a massage from a girl?"
"Massage is still a small thing. If someone blackmails him, his job today will be in vain."
"He was working for nothing."
"..." Li Changle was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but laugh, "It makes sense, it's all for nothing anyway, spending some money can help you gain some knowledge!"
"That's ridiculous!" Chen Yongwei got on his bicycle, "Where should we find it?"
"Ah Shui didn't walk long. If he goes along the road, if he rides faster, he should be able to catch up with him."
The two of them pedaled towards the outside of the village. The alleys were quiet as everyone in the village was asleep at this point.
After leaving the village and chasing them all the way to Pan Town, they saw a flashlight swaying in front of them. The two of them sped up and stepped forward. Li Changle tentatively shouted, "Ah Shui?"
Li Ashui turned around and saw the two people wearing headlamps, "Brother, why are you here?"
Li Changle did not respond, "Where are you going to look for it?"
Please...you...collect_(Six\\\Nine\\\Books\\\!)
"Go to Tuxiaqiao Pier. If there's no one around, go to a barber shop called White Rose. He and a few uncles in the village went there to get their hair cut."
"..." Li Changle didn't expect these uncles to be more playful than a second-rate guy like him, and asked in surprise: "Which of them go there often?"
"Uncle Agen, Uncle Akui..." Li Changshui mentioned the names of seven or eight people in one breath, "My father went to them once and told me that it was too expensive to get haircut there, so he stopped going."
"It's already here. You don't need to go to the pier. Just go to the small hair salon to find him." Li Changle thought that Li Asi, who was too expensive, would be a regular customer there in the future.
"The White Rose is in the alley near the dock."
Li Changle nodded, "Can you ride a tricycle?" He was too tired to pedal on an empty bicycle, and he might not be able to pedal with Ah Shui on.
"No!" Li Changshui pointed to the bicycle, "I can ride a bicycle."
"Brother A Le, I'll go ride a tricycle." Chen Yongwei got out of the car and gave him the bike.
More than half an hour later, the three of them arrived at Tuxiaqiao Pier and found that many ships were docked. After walking around the pier, they saw Li Asi's boat docked in the corner.
Li Ashui led the two of them towards the street in front of them. The dim street lights illuminated the front houses on both sides of the road. At this time, there were still many shops open.
Li Changle saw that the restaurant at the entrance of the street was doing pretty well, and there were many shirtless fishermen sitting there, all shiny black, eating heavily.
Walking inside, two girls from the hair salon wearing short skirts were holding cigarettes. When they saw them, they looked over and blew smoke rings at them with a smile, "Ada, do you want a haircut?"
Chen Yongwei was so frightened that he almost hit Li Changshui in front of him with his bicycle, which suddenly stopped, making the two girls laugh.
"Why don't you leave?" Chen Yongwei asked with a blushing face.
"My father!" Li Changshui said, looking steadily at the hair salon in front of him.
Li Changle looked at Li Asi who came out of the barber shop crookedly, and kept turning his head to wave to the woman standing at the door, "What are you still doing standing there? Get him over here quickly."
Li Changshui nodded, stepped forward, and grabbed Li Asi, "Abba, are you coming back with me?"
"Baby, bastard...what are you doing here?" Li Asi was tongue-tied and looked at Li Asui drunkenly, "Get out, I don't want you to worry about it!"
Li Changshui frowned and looked at Li Asi who was stinking of alcohol, "If she hadn't been scolding you at home, I wouldn't have bothered to care about you!"
Li Asi broke away and waved his hands, "Go away... old man, don't... you have to worry about..."
"We're going to make a fuss at home!" Li Changshui and Chen Yongwei, who came to help, grabbed Li Ahsi, who was drunk and crazy, and pulled him toward the third wheel.
Seeing that he was still very energetic after drinking, Li Changle hurriedly stepped forward to help stuff the person into the tricycle, and pushed the cursing Li Asi back.
Walking out of the street, Li Asi was completely drunk after being blown by the wind. He collapsed in his three-wheeled car and snored loudly.
Walking to a quiet place, Li Changle looked at the drunk Li Asi on the tricycle, stopped Chen Yongwei who was riding the tricycle, and said to Li Changshui:
"Ah Shui, do you have a search to see if your father still has the money from selling the fish?"
"Oh!" Li Changshui stopped his bicycle, stepped forward and touched Li Ah Si, and took out a handful of change from his trouser pocket, which was about three or four yuan.
Seeing that it was not in his trouser pocket, he hurriedly touched the waistband of his trouser.
These days' trousers have a hidden pocket in the waistband. When you go out, you can roll up your money and hide it inside to prevent thieves.
"No!" Li Changshui touched it again and turned blue with anger. "How can I have no money for one or two thousand catties of fish? It must have been stolen by someone in the barber shop."
