Chapter 44: Drudgery (500 monthly tickets for additional updates)

"Brother, you're right. I'm not worse than him in any way, except for the money. I'll talk to my grandma when I get back and try to talk her through. I want to work with you."
"Speak carefully!" Li Changle handed him the money, "Take it, stop pushing it around."
"I won't listen to you." Chen Yongwei took the money and took out ten yuan and put it on the table. "Brother, if I were to sell those catches today, they would sell for sixty or seventy yuan at most. I'll get more than fifty yuan." I have already taken more blocks.
Really, I have made more money from fishing with you in the past two days than I did in the previous two months. I think if I follow you, I will definitely get a lot of money in the future!"
"You brat!" Li Changle shook his head helplessly and had no choice but to let him go, "Tell your grandma carefully that it was not easy for her to bring you up!"
"Yeah!" Chen Yongwei picked up the meat and went out. He picked up the floor cages and crab pots that Zhou Ruonan had cleaned and dried outside early in the morning, put them into his backpack, waved to Li Changle, and strode away.
?????
"Ale, wash your face." Zhou Ruonan walked out of the stove room carrying a porcelain basin.
Li Changle took the porcelain basin, "Didn't you go to my second sister-in-law's house? Why didn't I see you come back?"
"I went through the vegetable patch behind the house, and picked some green onions to put in the soup." Zhou Ruonan paused, "I heard you just told Ah Wei about partnering up, what did he say?"
"Like this, I..."
After hearing this, Zhou Ruonan thought for a moment, "When dad comes back from the hospital, he won't be able to go sea fishing with you this year. He is old and was bitten by a poisonous snake. Even if the injury is healed, he will have to rest for more than half a year. .
The eldest brother and the second brother are helping out on the boat owned by the uncle, and they get a fixed salary every month. They may not be willing to go fishing with you to earn money that is uncertain."
"Aniang said that the eldest brother and the second brother signed a three-year contract with the ship owner... and my father promised to sell the ship to us." Li Changle thought of Dafang, "Look at Dafang, he also bought it as a joint stock with his uncle. Only with a big boat can things get better at home."
Zhou Ruonan nodded, "No wonder my sister-in-law said that she would not have signed a contract with the shipowner if she had known earlier and would have gone fishing with you. But I think Awei is good, treats you well, and is a simple man."
As the saying goes, a good man has three gangs, and a fence has three stakes. If Grandma Chen can let go, I will feel more at ease if he goes to sea with you!"
Li Changle clearly remembered that two years ago, there was an incident in a nearby fishing village where the boss of a boat was suspected to have been killed by a boatman.
When the ship sailed back, only the boatman came back. The family members questioned him. They said that the boss fell into the sea and could not be rescued. Who are you looking for to testify in the vast ocean?
Even if the family members suspected that someone had been harmed, they had no choice but to leave it alone in the end.
"Yes! Taobao is a hard job. If you don't have the strength, you really can't do it. Although Awei looks silly, he is strong and not stupid.
He and I grew up together and are no different from each other. When we go out with him, we don’t have to worry about getting good stuff and being pushed into the sea to feed the fishes.”
Zhou Ruonan also knew about this and glared at him angrily, "Don't talk nonsense! Go call Xiaohai and Xiaozhou back for dinner."
"Well!" Li Changle took out the remaining sixty yuan and handed it to her, "We went to Phoenix Restaurant, and by luck we met Boss Gu...
I sold the money to buy two bottles of canned food, halva... and those plastic jars, and I still had a few dollars left for pocket money."
Zhou Ruonan was very happy after hearing this. He earned a year's salary in just two days of work. Ever since Ah Le changed to be more diligent, his luck has been very good these two days.
Counting from Dahualong, it has only been two days. Excluding the money given to Awei, the money given to myself is more than 100 yuan.
"Snow eels are half as expensive as those at the seafood store. You should be smart. If you have good ones in the future, sell them in restaurants."
"Yeah! So I gave A-Kun some benefits to the manager. He is a money-loving man. As long as there is something to gain, we will sell the seafood we sent. Just give him some benefits every time."
"Okay, you can take care of the outside matters. I delivered the crab net today and bought the materials for making the ground cage and crab net. I asked my sister-in-law to help me make them together. It will only take a week."
"Don't be anxious, take your time!" Li Changle went to the alley and walked up to the courtyard with his two sons. He saw his second brother Jia Xiaohui walking towards his house carrying a plate.
"Sister, have you eaten the fire pancake?" Li Xiaozhou, who loves to show off, ran up and asked.
"Eat it, it's delicious!" Li Xiaohui looked at Li Changle with a smile, "Third uncle, my mother-in-law asked me to bring you a plate of Wangchao."
Sister-in-law Li has this kind of temperament. As long as she takes a thread from you, she will give you a needle. She does things strictly and has no human touch at all.
"Have your uncle returned home?" Li Ersao's natal village, Shaji Village, is also a fishing village. Her father and two brothers are both fishermen.
"I returned home this morning. My mother-in-law thought that my father was also back, but he didn't come back even after I rushed back."
Li Xiaohui put the plate on the table, Zhou Ruonan said a few polite words to her, and the little girl left with a smile.
When the father and son entered the house, Zhou Ruonan had already laid out the food.
Sweet potato rice, cooked and flattened golden potatoes on both sides, steamed dried salted fish, fried eggplant, boiled wild clams, plus the braised Wangchao sent by Li Ersao, it is quite rich.
When Li Xiaozhou saw that there was no meat on the table, he pouted and said, "Mom, why is there no meat?"
Zhou Ruonan handed him the chopsticks and said, "Rou Rou will make it for dinner."
The child looked at her and said, "Mom, I want to chew a big bone tonight."
"Okay! You and your brother each have a bone."
Li Xiaohai also nodded.
Li Changle laughed and felt that the two children were like dogs that wanted to eat bones, but the rib bones these days are really delicious, fat but not greasy, and the aroma of meat and bones fills the mouth after one bite.
It's not easy to like chewing bones. After selling his catch tomorrow, he will buy a few kilograms and stew them for his two precious sons.
Thinking of this, Li Changle smiled and flicked his youngest son's forehead, "Little Coyote, hurry up and eat!"
The child pursed his lips and covered his forehead, "Abba, you gave birth to me, not Xiaozizi, but Li Xiaozhou!"
"...It's better now, I've turned myself into a dog!"
Under Zhou Ruonan's eyes, Li Changle sneered, "Okay, okay, you are Li Xiaozhou! My father gave birth to me, not a little kid! My father will atone for his sins and buy you bones to eat tomorrow."
Li Xiaozhou nodded like he was pounding garlic, "I like to eat bones."
Li Xiaohai pursed his lips, glanced at Zhou Ruonan, and said nothing.
After reading this, Li Changle felt that his eldest son was too sensible, and it made him feel bad to be so sensible.
Zhou Ruonan laughed and said, "How can you buy meat every day? Don't buy it tomorrow. When my father is discharged from the hospital the day after tomorrow, go buy two pig trotters and stew them to replenish him!"
"Okay! Listen to my wife!" Li Changle said to his two sons with a smile, "Your mother-in-law is the commander-in-chief of our family, and we all have to listen to her."
Li Xiaozhou objected: "Abba, Aniang is Teacher Zhou, not the commander-in-chief! The general is the commander-in-chief!"
