Father Li glared at him angrily, "I can't see you here, and you're not popular with me, so of course you'll be happy soon!"
"Abba, what you are doing is wrong!"
Li Changle exclaimed with a playful smile, "If you don't believe me, ask Ah Wei, have I not even had a minute's rest in the two days since you entered the hospital? Really, I am more diligent than you at home, shouting with a whip every day!"
"Tang Bo, Brother A Le is really not telling lies. We came back from sea fishing last afternoon, and after dinner we went to the underground cage..."
Chen Yongwei immediately told him what happened from yesterday to today, proving that his brother was really diligent in talking.
Father Li and Mother Li did not expect that they would encounter Fantang again last night. They were so happy that they could not close their mouths. "I have to cook a few dishes when I go back. I will light incense and pay my respects. Thank you Bodhisattva and the God of Wealth for taking care of me!"
????????????
"Okay, let Anan do it with you." Li Changle said and stood up, "I'll come back to see you tomorrow morning. If you can be discharged from the hospital the day after tomorrow, I will pick you up early in the morning."
Father Li quickly waved his hand, "No, there is no fare for coming and going! We packed our things, went out and caught a minibus and went back."
"His father, Ah Le has to come and pick you up." Li's mother said to Li Changle, "Doctor Lin said that your father's legs have not been able to work for a while, and he will have to rest for a while after he returns home from the hospital. It will take months to recover!"
"I'm just saying, you see, the old man won't allow me to come!" Li Changle said to Father Li, "Don't worry, I won't spend money randomly now, but we should save when we need to save, and we still have to use when we need to. Otherwise, what are you going to do to make money?”
"I'm not so frugal because you don't worry about it. If you had been so diligent earlier, I wouldn't have needed to be so frugal!"
"Pull you down! Even if I earn a gold mountain and put it there, you will still save it. If you don't save it for me, save it for your grandson and great-grandson!"
"Eat firewood!" Li's father grabbed a pillow and hit him, and said with a fierce face, "I say one thing to you, and you have a hundred words waiting for me!"
"Hehe!" Li Changle saw him lifting it up and putting it down gently, then took the pillow and put it away, "You hit someone with such force, I will definitely be discharged from the hospital the day after tomorrow."
"I feel much better this morning. I will definitely be able to leave the hospital and go home the day after tomorrow." Father Li said and asked, "It is said that a typhoon is coming. Have your brother and the others returned to the voyage?"
"I heard that they are at the Zhoushan fishery. If they can't come back, they will land on a nearby island."
"That's good. You have to be careful when going to the beach these two days and don't go too far." Father Li paused for a moment, "You do your best and wait until I'm discharged from the hospital.
The two of us went out to sea to set nets together, saved some money to repair the fishing boats, and set up ground pots and crab pots offshore. If we are lucky, our income will be higher."
Li Changle heard him mention the fishing boat and said hurriedly: "Abba, I also want to tell you about the fishing boat."
"you say!"
"Look, I repaired the fishing boat... Instead of making the whole family unhappy, why not buy it? What do you think?"
Seeing that he was willing to save money to buy a boat to go to sea, Mother Li happily said: "His father, I told you when we separated, if you can't do it anymore, whoever wants a boat among the four of them can use the money to buy it."
Ah Huan hasn't changed his job yet, Ah Ping, Ah An still have a year and a half contract with the ship owner, and you won't be able to do hard work for most of the year.
The boat is already broken. If it is kept for another year and a half, the repair money will be enough to build a new boat. It is better to sell it to Ah Le at a discount now."
In the past two years, there is no need to hand over fish to the brigade and the cooperative. The price of second-hand fishing boats has also increased. A Le does not have much money, so his own boat is just right for him.
If Ah Le hadn't failed to live up to expectations and were worried that the eldest two daughters-in-law would accuse them of being partial, they would have asked Ah Le to save money to repair the boat. It would be better to go to sea and live in a cage instead of sitting idle at home and letting people gossip.
After listening to Li's mother's words, Li Changle remembered the agreement made when the family was separated, and felt that it would be better this way.
Father Li thought of his two eldest daughters-in-law, and secretly complained that they were partial to the third wife. Their partiality was not because A Le was not doing things properly.
Now he wants to save money and buy the boat. It's a good thing! Ah Le spent money to buy the boat, which is equivalent to putting a bridle on himself. He should not relapse and fool around with Wang Mazi and others.
Furthermore, by selling the boat to A Le, he would have his own business, and they would not have to constantly subsidize him. In this way, the eldest two daughters-in-law would not whisper behind their backs about their partiality.
"Okay, when I go back to your elder brother and them, I will tell them that I will sell the boat to you and we will share the money from the sale equally."
Li Changle didn't know that the two elders had thought so much. Seeing that they agreed, he happily said: "Okay, when my brother and the others come back, you can discuss how much it will cost?"
"My own boat is almost enough." Father Li looked at him and said uneasily, "Luck may be good or bad. Good luck these two days does not mean good luck every day.
Even if you earn two yuan a day, your family will be able to make money. Don’t stop working because you think the money is too little. If you can’t make big money, it’s the worst thing if you don’t want to make small money..."
"I know, just rest, I'll leave first."
Seeing his posture, Li Changle did not interrupt him. Not knowing how long he was going to continue nagging, he pulled Ah Wei and the two of them left the ward.
Li's mother pulled up a stool and sat in front of Li's father's hospital bed, "I just told you that it was that bastard Wang Mazi who led Ah Le into trouble. Look how diligent Ah Le has become now that they have fallen out!
When we were at home, we stayed up until midnight and didn't get up until three o'clock in the morning. Today we got up so early to collect the ground traps and send fish and crabs to the town to sell them for money. We don't have to worry about it in the future!"
"My mother-in-law said when I was here that A Le is not a bad person. It was because we doted on him too much that we doted on him so much. In addition, we listened to that bitch Wang Mazi, and the path became more and more crooked."
"As the old saying goes, follow a good person and learn from a good person, and follow a monk to become a Taoist. Ah Wei is honest and willing to work, and Ah Le can't be lazy even if he wants to be with him."
…
Li Changle and Chen Yongwei came out of the hospital, looked at the snacks across the street, and pointed to the stall selling fire cakes, "Let's go buy some fire cakes for your grandma and the children to take back."
The fire biscuits they have here are not the kind of fire biscuits sold by Wu Dalang.
The pancakes are only about ten centimeters in diameter and come in either salty or sweet varieties. The dough is fermented with good flour, then mixed with lard and kneaded into a pancake crust.
The savory fire pancakes are stuffed with minced salted pork and chives. After wrapping, a layer of fragrant pastry is spread on the pancakes, then sprinkled with sesame seeds, and baked on the inner wall of the fire pancake oven. The sweet ones are made of white sugar.
Li Changle remembered that there was a restaurant near his mother-in-law’s house that made excellent fire-roasted pancakes. One bite was crispy on the outside and soft and salty on the inside. He would definitely buy a few more for his son to eat this time.
"Okay!" Chen Yongwei sighed, "I remember when I was a kid, my father would bring us fire pancakes when he came back from selling seafood."
Li Changle patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry about him all the time. He won't feel at ease down there if you do this."
"Yeah!" Chen Yongwei said with a smile, "Brother, you have made great achievements today, I will buy you fire cakes as a reward."
Li Changle put his arms around him and said, "Let's go, let's finish digesting the soaked rice we had this morning. Let's take three first!"
