Chapter 199 Switching to seafood collection
Zhou's mother came back with her two children, and the family sat together, talking and eating.
After eating and drinking, Li Changle rushed to help wash the dishes and asked Zhou Ruonan to help Zhou's mother pack the two children's things.
After the mother and daughter returned to the house, they first put the cloth bag containing the money into the backpack.
Mother Zhou looked at it and felt that it was still a little unstable, so she found a rope and tied the cloth bag strap to the shoulder strap of the backpack, and then put the clothes and shoes into the backpack.
Zhou Ruonan looked at the shoes, shirts, shorts and new autumn clothes she took out, "Auntie, have you made clothes and shoes for them again?"
"I made them all before. Let's take them back together this time." Mother Zhou put the clothes on top of the bag and pressed them down. "The child is growing very fast these days. Don't be reluctant to wear them when you go back."
"I know, A Le said that they have grown a lot taller after not seeing them for ten days." Zhou Ruonan continued, "A Le said about the salary..."
After hearing this, Zhou's mother thought for a moment and said, "What he said makes sense, so just do as he said. Also, last time A Le talked about buying a house, I asked about it, and I have some ideas. When it is confirmed, I will make some arrangements here first."
I’ll give you the money to buy it.”
Zhou Ruonan looked at her in surprise, "Whose family is this?"
"The son of Axiangpo next door was transferred to work in Shanghai last year. They heard that their daughter-in-law was also going to come there. They were worried that the old lady would be alone here without anyone to take care of her, so they planned to sell the house!"
"Axiang's mother-in-law's house is of course the best. It's so convenient to be next door!" Zhou Ruonan said happily, "Let's agree first that you can help advance the money to buy it. When the family saves the money, it will be returned to you. You can
Gotta continue."
Mother Zhou looked at her daughter lovingly and said, "Okay, if you return it to me, I will save it for my grandson."
"From now on, A Le will come to deliver goods once every two weeks. You can leave the rough work to him. Xiao Hai and the others are gone. Don't be too frugal."
"Oh no, my body is the capital of revolution. I still have to wait to see Xiaohai and Xiaozhou find me a grandson-in-law!"
"Grandma, I don't want a wife. Brother Xiaoyang said that asking for a wife would cost a lot of money." Li Xiaozhou, who was playing checkers at the side, said this.
"Hahaha, when you grow up, if your mother-in-law and father don't give you a wife, you will break the water vat and the iron pot again."
Mother Zhou's face suddenly darkened as she spoke, and she put things into her backpack in silence.
Zhou Ruonan thought of Zhou Hongbin who said this, and patted Zhou's mother's hand, "Mom, it's all over, don't think about it anymore."
Zhou's mother held her daughter's hand and said, "I don't want to, as long as you are doing well and living a harmonious life, I will be relieved."
Her son-in-law was incompetent in the past, and she really regretted it in her heart. She resented Zhou Hongbin's parents-in-law for being disobedient and unfilial, and resented those relatives in the family who were unkind and unjust, causing her daughter to have no choice but to marry a bastard.
Now that the son-in-law is a man, he is considerate to Anan, and the couple is living a prosperous life, and sometimes they are not so angry when they think about it.
…
An hour later, Zhou's mother reluctantly sent her daughter away, along with her son-in-law and two grandchildren. She looked at the bus running further and further away, sighed and walked back slowly.
Zhou Ruonan looked at Zhou's mother walking back alone, and said sadly: "When the new house is built, I will pick up my mother and live there for a few days."
Li Changle nodded, "You can stay as long as you want!"
The two children played for a day and soon fell asleep in their arms.
Li Changle, who was leaning on the back of his chair and fell asleep, suddenly remembered something, "Nan, have you given the money to buy the container to my mother-in-law?"
"I gave it to you!" Zhou Ruonan said softly, "I told my mother-in-law what you said, and she also told me about buying a house."
After hearing this, Li Changle felt that the money was really not enough. "The money from selling the beads is still a little short of the boat. There will be no more beads to sell in the future. It will cost a lot of money to buy a house. I have to work harder to make money."
Zhou Ruonan said with satisfaction: "If you ask me, the conditions at home are already very good now, why don't we just go out on a tin boat and go out to sea to catch some fish, and then collect some fresh goods and dry them."
"As long as we carefully control the quality, the school delivers goods twice a month, and the shop can sell a batch, we can earn at least several hundred yuan a month!"
"You earn money from selling dry goods and save it for your children. When I pass the teaching certificate and become a full-time teacher, we will have social security, medical insurance, and pension when we retire. It will be enough for our expenses."
"There will be a lot of money needed in the future." Li Changle said with a smile, "When the children grow up and go to school, when they grow up, they will need a wife and build a house, and they will need a lot of money.
We have to take advantage of the current good fishing resources to buy a bigger boat, go to sea while we are young and earn more money to save, so that we can have leisurely days when we are old."
Thinking about the fact that she and Li's mother were both in bad health in the last life, if this life is still the same as before, even if they earn a million and save it, it won't be enough.
After hearing this, Zhou Ruonan rested her head on his shoulder, "I just don't want you to work too hard."
Li Changle hugged his son up, stretched out his hand to squeeze her hand, and looked at her with a smile, "I have been playing for more than 20 years, and I have had enough. Now I feel that making money is quite interesting."
"Yeah!" Zhou Ruonan nodded, took a handkerchief and wiped his son's sweat, thinking that he would have to collect fresh goods when he went back, "You sleep for a while, I'll look at things."
"Okay!" Li Changle leaned on the back of his chair and soon fell asleep due to the sway of the rickety bus.
When I woke up, I found that I was almost in Panzhen. My two sons ran to the empty seats at the back and looked outside the car window.
In a blink of an eye, the bus stopped. The family got off the bus with their luggage. After walking for a while under the bright sun, they stopped a minibus and got off at the intersection of Shatou Village.
"Oh, we're back!" Li Xiaohai and Li Xiaozhou waved their hands and ran towards the road ahead.
"Slow down!" Zhou Ruonan hurriedly caught up and warned.
Li Changle was carrying a basket on his back and an oilcloth bag in one hand. Inside was a rice bubbler that Zhou's mother had packed for the two children. He looked at the mother and son walking in front with a smile.
When they got home, Li's mother and Li's father were drying fish in the yard. Li Xiaohai and his brother ran in while shouting.
Mother Li and Father Li looked at their grandson happily, "You are still nourished by the soil and water in the city. It has only been a long time before you have grown taller and fairer."
Li Xiaohai looked around and said, "Grandma, where are my brothers and sisters? We will bring rice bubble tubes back for them to eat."
"Your aunt and the others went to help with the work at the new foundation." Mother Li said, looking at Li Changle, and asked in a low voice, "Have you sold the things you brought?"
Li Changle gave the basket to Zhou Ruonan, nodded with a smile and said, "Sold, the dry goods are also sold out."
Please...you...collect_(Six\\\Nine\\\Books\\\!)
"Ah~" Father Li thought he heard wrongly, "Are you saying that you have sold out all the dried fish you brought today?"
Mother Li also looked at him. It was not surprising that those beads were sold out as they had been agreed to earlier. Those dried fish were not ten or twenty pounds, so how could they be sold out in a few hours?
"Not only did they sell out, but they also received hundreds of kilograms of dry goods." Li Changle pointed at Zhou Ruonan, "Let Anan tell you in detail. I have to go to the dock to collect cuttlefish, eels, and shrimps."
Father Li nodded happily, "Okay, your eldest brother and second brother haven't come back yet. You go to the dock to pick them up."
"Okay!" Li Changle went home, took some money and put it in his bag. He also took a net bag, a steelyard, a bucket, and a bamboo basket and put them on the tricycle, then pedaled toward the dock.
When they arrived at the alley entrance, they saw Li Changkuan walking towards him carrying a bamboo basket. Just as Li Changle was about to say hello to him, he saw him turn around and turn into another alley.
"Awu egg, you don't owe me any money, why did you see me running away?"
Li Changle shook his head strangely, thinking that there were more ships returning at this point, so he pedaled his three wheels and hurried towards the dock.
After arriving, I took a look around but didn't see any of my own fishing boats. I parked my tricycle and shouted at the boats approaching the shore, "Collecting Qingzhan, mackerel, cuttlefish... I'm here! Don't miss it if you have the goods..."
"
A gray-haired boat boss looked at the seafood shop in front and was too lazy to move forward. He held two buckets and asked: "The water is flowing, do you want to collect the shrimps?"
"Let me see!" Li Changle looked at the water gizzards and pippi shrimps in the bucket. Seeing that they were just caught today, he nodded and said: "Shui gurglings are five points, and pippi shrimps are three cents. They are the same price as seafood."
.”
The boat boss nodded cheerfully, "I'll give it all to you."
"Okay!" Li Changle took out the net bag and asked the boat boss to pour the Pippi shrimps and water in the bucket into the net bag. After the water was leaked, he started to weigh it.
"Twenty-five kilograms of Pipi shrimp, seventy-five cents, eighteen kilograms of water, nine cents, a total of one dollar and sixty-five cents." Li Changle counted the money and handed it to him, then poured the fresh goods into the bucket.
"Damn it~ You hozen, why do you have so many flowers, and you have changed your profession to collecting seafood?"
Li Changle looked up and saw Ge Changfa holding the cable and grinning at him, and raised his voice: "Are you going on a trial voyage today or are you officially launching into the water?"
"Officially launched!" Ge Changfa tied the cable and punched him in the chest with a smile, "You are such a hozen, the news has spread in the village, everyone is saying that your brothers earned several thousand yuan in one day yesterday!"
Li Changle smiled and said: "I'm lucky, I just happened to meet him, and I have the money to build a house."
Ge Changfa looked regretful, "My two brothers' luck is not good enough. If I had followed you on the sea trial yesterday, I would have earned back the money to buy the boat in one day."
Brother Ge also nodded, "Yes, you missed such a good opportunity in vain."
Li Changle could only comfort the two of them dryly, "There are many treasures on the sea. If you are lucky, you will encounter them."
"Then you have to meet him!" Ge Changfa looked at him and said half-jokingly, half-seriously, "No one else is as lucky as you! Brother, you have to take care of your brothers when you go to sea in the future!"
Today they originally wanted to go to the sea area where the silver pomfret fish were seen yesterday, but unfortunately they turned around and couldn't find the heading. Fortunately, the typhoon had just passed, and they had gained something after a busy day.
"No problem, we all have someone to look after us!" Li Changle smiled and looked at the rubber bucket carried by Brother Ge, "What kind of fish did you get? Are there any cuttlefish, shrimps, or eels?"
Brother Ge put down the rubber bucket, "There are three cuttlefish, five eels, about ten kilograms of mackerel, five or six kilograms of prawns, and the rest are green zhan, water gurgling, pippi shrimp and miscellaneous fish."
Li Changle saw a large eel inside, "You pick out this large eel and give it to Adong's family, and sell the others to me."
