Chapter 33: Collecting the Ground Cage (Thanks to my friends for reading and supporting)
Zhou Ruonan said: "My parents-in-law have subsidized us a lot over the years. My sister-in-law has often complained privately that my parents-in-law are partial. If we take over the boat, I'm worried that their resentment towards my parents-in-law will be even greater."
When dad comes back, you can ask his opinion. If he agrees, we will call the brothers and sister-in-law together, and we will use the money to buy the boat, so as not to create a gap between the brothers and hurt the relationship."
"Good Nan!" Li Changle held her hand affectionately, "You are right, I will do as you say!"
"Oh, mom and dad are holding hands!" Li Xiaozhou clapped his little hands and shouted. Li Xiaohai narrowed his eyes with a smile. "This is great for mom and dad!"
Zhou Ruonan's face immediately turned red, she glared at him angrily, withdrew her hand and said, "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you!" Then she said to her two sons in embarrassment, "Hurry up and eat!"
A few years after getting married, this was the first time he discussed with himself how to make money. Now he really believed that he had changed.
At this moment, she felt more at ease than ever before.
"Oh!" The two little ones looked at their parents and ate happily.
Zhou Ruonan felt that his brother and sister-in-law would definitely agree to them buying the broken fishing boat with money. After thinking about it, he looked at him happily, "I remember that dad's boat still has a rowing oar, so just to repair it, it is better to modify it and replace it with a diesel engine. In this way, you can also It saves some effort."
"That's good. With the diesel engine, we can also go to distant islands." This was Li Changle's original plan. After a day of rowing out on the sea, he was exhausted. Seeing that his wife felt sorry for him, he felt happy.

Zhou Ruonan nodded and said: "Also, there is no need to buy floor cages and crab pots. My mother and I can make them. It is cheaper and stronger to make them ourselves."
Li Changle looked at his wife with bright eyes and said happily: "That's okay, you buy all the materials first, and you can wait until my mother comes back to do it."
"It's okay, I just have two nets left. When I finish knitting and send it to Ah Fang, who will give it to the hair net, I will go buy the net cable and steel wire." Zhou Ruonan said enthusiastically.
"Okay, the weather is too hot, don't tire yourself out." Li Changle smiled and put a piece of fish into the rice bowl, feeling that today's bowl of rice was more delicious than eating abalone.
"I'm not weaving a net in the sun. It's cooler in the alley." Zhou Ruonan thought about it and said, "Alai next door also came back this morning. He said that all the big ships have returned to the harbor, and there are more and more small boats docked at the small pier. The typhoon may make landfall in the next two days, so you'd better not go there in the next two days."
Li Changle nodded and ate two large bowls of rice. Sweat flowed down his neck. He stood up and took off a towel to wipe his sweat. "I'm going to see Ah Wei!"
I feel like it’s so muggy early in the morning and it’s bound to rain heavily.
"Well!" Zhou Ruonan pointed to the bamboo hat hanging on the wall, "Typhoon Tianyu is coming at any time, please put on the bamboo hat."
"Okay!" Li Changle took off his bamboo hat, and after thinking about it, he went to get the stuff from Taohai, carried it out and walked towards Changtang.
Before he reached the gate, he felt that the wind was stronger than yesterday. He hung the bamboo hat around his neck and walked through the gate against the whistling sea breeze. After passing through the woods, he saw Ah Wei holding a crab net, one deep and one shallow. Go this way.
He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Awei, has the ground cage lifted?"
"You haven't gotten up yet!" Chen Yongwei shouted to him happily, "Brother, I just said you are lucky! Every crab pot is in stock, and the green crabs this time can be sold for twenty or thirty yuan."
"Not bad!" Li Changle found the small tree where the rope was tied last night, rummaged through the grass to find the rope that tied the cage, untied it, took off his shoes, pulled the thread and walked into the water. After entering the water, he found that there was water this morning. It was deeper than last night, even reaching his knees.
He walked to the ground cage and lifted it, but he couldn't lift it up. He frowned. He tested it with a bamboo pole last night. There were no branches or stones. Could it be that it was already full? Or was there something big? Has the goods gone in?
Thinking like this, his heart beat a little faster, but he was also worried that the ground cage would be caught on branches or stones. He exerted more force, lifted the rope vertically, and slowly and steadily pulled up the ground cage. The ground cage was out of the water. Finally, the fish inside started splashing and water splashed all over him.
Li Changle also saw from the size of the water splash that there was a big fish in it. He grinned excitedly and shouted to Chen Yongwei: "Awei, there seems to be something in there!"
"Really! Hurry up and take a look!" Chen Yongwei quickened his pace and rushed towards the shore, causing a splash of water.
When Li Changle saw that he was not caught, he lifted the ground cage up with all his strength. He felt that the weight after leaving the water was not bad. He only saw two mackerels weighing about two or three kilograms each in the ground cage, and nothing else.
But the weight in my hand should be more than the weight of these two fish. Looking at the fish collection bag here, I can see a few mullet fish in it. It seems that the big stuff should be in another fish collection bag.
Li Changle thought that there was still a big product, so he used all his strength to lift all the cages out of the water. He saw a big snake covered with irregular spots in the fish bag curled up inside, with its sharp fangs spread out. mouth, and the pair of mung bean eyes on the triangular head were still staring at him.
With a quick glance, he was so frightened that he almost threw the cage back into the water.
"Damn it, it's a worm again?"
"Brother, what's wrong?"
"Scared me!"
Li Changle calmed down and when he saw what was inside, he shouted excitedly and incoherently, "Fuck~ Hahaha! I got a snow eel! Hahaha..."
The snow eel, whose scientific name is the flower eel, has a thick body and looks like a huge eel. It is also known as the "king of eels" among the people.
Because every time it snows in winter, it appears in the shallows on the shore and other places, and is also called snow eel.
The flower eel is a migratory fish that lives in fresh water but reproduces in the depths of the ocean. After the new larvae mature, they eventually return to fresh water to survive. Their meat is delicious and nutritious, and has a very high nutritional value. It has always been It is regarded as a high-quality nourishing food and a relatively expensive ingredient.
The flower eel has a triangular head like an eel, with small scales, irregular spots all over its body, and a dorsal fin standing high on its back. It has a very ferocious temperament. It lives in caves and rock crevices during the day and comes out to hunt fish at night. Larger foods such as shrimps, crabs, frogs, rats, etc.
The most important thing is that this guy will die easily after being out of the water!
"Brother, did you really get a snow eel? How long is it?" Chen Yongwei was so excited that he didn't even bother to wash his legs and ran towards him carrying a crab pot.
"Hey!" Li Changle pointed to the ground cage proudly, "It's still curled up in the fish bag!"
"Fuck! It's thick and long, at least ten pounds or more." Chen Yongwei danced excitedly, looked at Li Changle excitedly, and said with admiration:
