Chapter 344 Happier than the New Year
Brother Li and the other two met Xiang Xiaoyu and Li Changshui halfway, and pushed the wheelbarrow toward him.
The little guy came late and only picked up about 200 kilograms. Li Changshui picked up more than 400 kilograms, which was better than the fish that went out to sea.
After hearing that the pier had been waiting for many people, the two hurriedly rushed towards the pier.
Brother Li and his three homes left the sorted grouper, pomfret, eel, hairtail and other big fish that had been sorted, as well as the mackerel weighing less than ten pounds and other big fish.
The fish caught that were not sorted were moved to the cart and the tricycle were loaded. Two baskets were hung on the back seat of the bicycle, but the fish were not loaded.
"Ale also said that there are only more than 4,000, and the big fish and good goods are left behind. I see that more than 5,000 kilograms have been given."
"I originally thought I could catch tens of thousands of pounds!" Li's father happily put the remaining fish in a bamboo basket, "Send it back and run it again."
Zhou Ruonan saw that there were only three loads left. "Amma and Ah Mi stayed at home to roll out dumpling skins. My sister-in-law and I took one load of them and brought the ice back by the way."
There were several large mackerels weighing eight or nine pounds, and they were smashed into two pieces when they fell down. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law planned to chop and make dumplings.
The group rushed to the dock and saw more and more queues, grinning one by one, waiting to weigh in, which seemed happier than the New Year.
Everyone rushed to Chen Ji quickly, and they just sorted out the last two baskets there.
Sister-in-law Zhou Ruonan pulled the ice cubes home, while Li Changle and Chen Yongwei stayed to help sort.
The few families queuing up behind also came to help. There were many people and strong forces. More than a dozen people sorted out all the fish in less than half an hour.
The red sweet fish was 56 kilograms, sold for 140 yuan, and the two horns were 70 cents a kilogram of mackerel, mullet, and sea bass were 1,464 kilograms, and sold for 395 yuan.
Two thousand six hundred and seven hundred and seventy kilograms were sold for 427 yuan. In addition, the mixed fish were sold for a total of 1,100 yuan.
"Brother Ale, come and get the money tomorrow." Chen Dong issued a list and handed it to him, "The boats are all heading to the safe haven, and my family has also collected a shop, so some pocket money is left at home."
Li Changle took the order, "It's okay, who would have thought that God would send us New Year's money in advance!"
Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing this, "I thought it was miserable again this time. The rice was getting yellow and was blown by the strong wind, and the yield was reduced again. Now, after selling the fish, I had money to buy food."
Amid everyone's happy discussion, Li Changle and others took the fish-filled house in the car and pulled it back.
When he arrived at the corner convenience store, Li Xiaoyang pulled Brother Li, "Dad, I'm so thirsty that I smoke!"
"Boy!" Brother Li smiled and reached into his pocket to touch him, looking at him with awkward smile, "Dad didn't bring any money, go back to get the money..."
"I have it here!" Li's father happily took out a few dollars and handed it to his eldest grandson, "Buy it for his younger brother and sister."
"Okay!" Li Xiaoyang took the money and rushed to the convenience store, carrying soda tied with hemp ropes in both hands, and ran back quickly.
Seeing Li’s father sitting on the cart, he climbed into the car and sat down beside him, "Grandma, take a few sips."
Li's father happily patted his eldest grandson on the back, "Drink! Grandpa is not thirsty!"
Li Xiaoyang held up the soda bottles at Brother Li and saw that everyone said they would not drink it, so he started drinking it leisurely.
The group arrived home, and the hairtail soup and cold wakame were ready, and the mackerel dumplings were steamed in the pot.
Li's mother said with a smile: "I'm back, there is hot water in the plastic bucket. Just wash the dumplings."
"I have to wash it, my body smells bad."
The grandpa took his clothes and went to the cottage to take a shower. Li's mother brought the old wine of ginger tea and wine to drive away everyone's cold.
Li Changle handed the list to Li's mother, "My grandma, remember to go to Chen Ji to get the money tomorrow."
"Hey! How much did it cost?"
"One thousand one."
"Oh!" Li's mother and Chen A-Mi were so happy that they couldn't even close their mouths, "There are four baskets of good goods at home."
"These can be sold a lot. I will send them to the restaurant tomorrow morning and I will be sold for the money." Li Changle said, "This time we will divide the six families."
"Brother, the children have also picked up a lot, and they should have one." Chen Yongwei said hurriedly.
Xiaohai and Xiaobo took their younger brothers and sisters at home and picked up all the fish in front of and behind the house. The children were no different from clay men.
There are also four people, Xiaoqing, Xiaohui, Xiaotao and Xiaoyang, and their working speed is no slower than that of two adults.
Ah Mi Chen took over the conversation, "Awei is right. A few children are more neat than the two adults. It is time to give them one."
"We have it too?" Several children's eyes lit up after hearing this, and they looked at their parents with eager eyes.
"Don't you eat?" Li's mother angrily patted Li Xiaotao, "The soda you drink and the clothes and pants you wear are worthless?"
"Ahua!" Chen A-Mi-Ni pulled her, "It's not a polite thing. I think I should give the children one, otherwise we would be embarrassed to share the money."
Li Changle said, "My mother, I just listen to Ah Mi. I sold the money and gave it to the children as well."
"Okay, give them one."
The children danced happily, "Wow! We have money too!"
"I can buy the military green I like..." Li Xiaotao quickly turned his head and looked at Li Dasan, "My mother, the floral cloth bag looks so ugly. I want to buy a Xiaohai type, and I can buy it with my own money?"
The other children also looked at her with awesome look.
"It's okay to buy a schoolbag like Xiaohai!" Mrs. Li said and glanced at him, "I'll take you to buy it. I have to leave the remaining money for buying a bag to me."
Li Xiaotao hurriedly asked, "I want to choose by myself!"
"Okay, you choose it yourself!" Mrs. Li said and glared at him with anger, "Come and help bring the chopsticks and bowls."
"Ohh!"
Li Xiaozhou and others also took the opportunity to make a request, "Dad, I have caught a lot of fish today, I want my brother's kind!"
Li Changle rubbed the fluffy curls of his youngest son after washing, "Okay, you can choose what you like."
Li Xiaobo and his friends got what they wanted, and cheers from the children rang out in the room.
Everyone sat around and ate steamed dumplings, refreshing and delicious side dishes, and drinking hairtail soup, and all of them stretched their stomachs before they got off the table.
Zhou Ruonan poured some leftover hairtail soup and mixed a large pot of mixed grain rice for Awang, and left a pot of rhubarb that was guarding the old house.
Li Changle took out the money for selling dry goods and said to Brother Li and Brother Li, "My mother-in-law got 1,500 yuan, and the school sold 2,120 yuan."
After hearing this, Mrs. Li said happily: "Last time Anan came back, she brought more than 2,000 yuan. Is the business of her mother-in-law so good?"
"Not bad!" Li Changle gave them the money, "After the shelves and containers in the town are ready, the sales volume will be greater."
After hearing this, Li's father said, "It's a pity that the fish I picked up today were caught."
Brother Li nodded, "Yes, the price has dropped a few points. If the weather is good, I can still collect some of it and show it."
Li Changle has been thinking about this issue these days, "Brother, we can't rely entirely on the weather, we have to find a way to solve the production problem."
"Oh!" Li's father sighed, "What's the way? It's like this. You rely on the weather to make a living, and you can't do it as long as it rains."
"Why can't you do it?" Li Changle looked at everyone proudly, "I thought of a solution in the afternoon. When the new house is completed, we will buy some yellow bricks and tiles back.
Leave the vacant land next to my house half out and build a warehouse like a brigade house with ventilation on all sides..."
"The warehouse hangs the soon-dried crocodile heads inside, and the freshly killed and half-dried crocodile heads in an unventilated room. In such weather, it will become moldy in a few days."
"Second brother, listen to me!" Li Changle smiled and said, "After the warehouse is built, buy a few blowers and install them on several walls. Hang the head of the trolley in the house. Once the blower is turned on, it will be ventilated!"
After hearing this, the few people nodded repeatedly, "Yes, blow with a blower."
A-Miss Chen looked at the people with a smile, "Ale is still very good at brain."
Father Li looked at his son proudly, "Don't praise him, just a little clever!"
After solving a big problem, everyone discussed how to build a warehouse?
After agreeing, they found that Li Xiaozhou and Li Xiaomei were sleeping in the adult's arms. The others were sitting there, like chickens pecking at rice, dozing off their heads bit by bit.
Father Li stood up and said, "We are going back to sleep, and we will go to the rice fields tomorrow morning to see it. I don't know how many of them have fallen?"
"It's still raining, even if you fall down, you can't harvest it. You can only dry the water in the fields, help the fallen ones up, and wait until the sky clears up."
"This is the only way, otherwise the lodged rice should sprout."
Li's father sighed. The rice planted in the years that he had worked hard for several months was about to be harvested, and it was a strong wind blew again. Fortunately, there were those fish, and their family life was better than before, otherwise, they would have to endure it again.
After Chen Yongwei and his grandson and Li's mother returned to the old house with battery lights, Li Changle picked up Li Xiaozhou and patted his eldest son who was lying on his lap, "Let's go, my dad will take you back to the house to sleep."
"Oh!" Li Xiaohai took his back and followed him back to the house and yawned onto the bed. He didn't even take off his clothes and pants and fell asleep in seconds.
Li Changle put down his youngest son, took off his shoes and pants, put them on the bed and slept, and Zhou Ruonan, after washing, was also back.
"Anan, look at our boss, he fell asleep as soon as his head was stained with a pillow."
"The children helped pick up fish and sorted them, they were all exhausted." Zhou Ruonan said, taking a palm-leaf fan to drive away the mosquitoes.
Li Changle put the mosquito net off the hook and tucked it, "A few children in our family are obedient."
"Or what if I say, poor children will be the first family!" Zhou Ruonan took a dry towel and sat on the edge of the bed, "Pull my hair."
"I'm still talking about me! Don't you have a headache?" Li Changle took the veil and wrapped her long hair and rubbed it. The fragrance of soapberry lingered on the tip of his nose.
"I smell all over my body, and even the smell of fish on my hair. If I don't wash it, I will make you faint."
Li Changle leaned into her ear and took her earlobe in her mouth, "Wife, I'm not afraid of being fumigated!"
Zhou Ruonan felt suddenly, and her whole body seemed to be electrocuted, which made her heart palpitations. She hurriedly looked at her son on the bed opposite, pinched Li Changle with a blushing face, and whispered: "My son is old, be careful."
