Chapter 46: Happy old lady
"Brother, I want to work together with you!"
Chen Yongwei responded without hesitation, then took out a small cloth bag from under the vegetable basket, opened it and took out a roll of banknotes and put it in his hand, "Here is one hundred and fifty yuan. You can take it and repair the boat first."
"Okay! Brother, just take it first. After my father comes back and decides on the price of the fishing boat and buys all the fishing gear, he will calculate how much it will cost for 10% of the shares, and then we will divide the shares."
Li Changle thought that the small fishing boat at home cost about 200 yuan, and then his father's fishing gear, repairing the fishing boat, and installing a diesel-powered propeller. All added up, it might cost 500 to 600 yuan.
?????
The family now has more than 100 yuan. After Abba is discharged from the hospital and settles the account, they will give him part of it, which adds up to more than 200 yuan, plus the 150 yuan given by Awei...
No matter how you calculate it, it's still about a hundred dollars short. Thinking about it, you don't have enough confidence. You have to take advantage of these days to get your confidence back.
Chen Yongwei nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I'll do whatever you say!"
Li Changle smiled and said: "Don't respond so quickly. You go back and talk to your grandma first. If she agrees, I will ask Teacher Zhou to write a contract, and we brothers will officially start cooperation."
Chen Yongwei looked at him, "What are you doing so much trouble for?"
Li Changle is not worried about Chen Yongwei, he is worried about the old lady and his future wife thinking too much, "Brothers will settle accounts clearly, good memory is not as good as bad writing, let's write one, so as not to get rich later, those gossips will be jealous, saying that brother has less points for you."
"You're right! My grandma said that Agen's wife next door to your house and Baogen's wife behind my house always keep their ears open to listen to what's going on in other people's houses when they have nothing to do. Most of the gossip between our two families is spread through them. of."
"I think you're also a talker. No matter where there is something going on in the village, you know it."
Chen Yongwei said with a sneer: "My grandma told me."
"Hurry up and earn money to find a wife and come back and listen to her talk!"
Li Changle felt that he still had a good temper. If it were him who listened to the old lady talking about the nonsense in the village every day, he would definitely not be able to bear it.
Chen Yongwei smiled and said: "I will be happy if I come back to my wife and they don't quarrel."
"That's right!" Li Changle took out the melons and corn cobs, "Hurry back and tell your grandma that when you come back, Xiaohai will be back from buying fishing ropes. We'll tie up the cans and we'll be ready to go. The beach!」
"Okay!" Chen Yongwei took the basket and left.
Li Changle kicked the money away, got up and went out. He saw Zhou Ruonan holding a bundle of fishing ropes, followed by two young ones. Seeing that they were sweating profusely, they hurriedly stepped forward to take it.
"When did you go? Come in quickly, there is melon on the table."
Li Xiaozhou jumped up happily, "Wow! There's some melon to eat!" The two brothers happily ran towards the house.
Zhou Ruonan wiped the sweat on his face with a handkerchief, "I saw that the plastic cans didn't have ears, so I went over to buy steel wire."
"If you don't tell me, I haven't thought of it yet." Li Changle put down the fishing rope, went into the house and took out a pair of pliers, and began to tie the jars.
Zhou Ruonan ate half of the melon, and after his two sons had finished eating and went to take a nap, he went out and pulled up a bench and sat down to help tie the jars together.
"What did Aweilai say?"
"Grandma Chen agreed, I told Ah Wei..."
"That's good, so that you don't have to explain clearly later."
Li Changle wrapped the steel wire around the mouth of the plastic jar twice, then fixed the fishing rope on it. One jar was tied, and the second jar was tied about one meter apart.
Zhou Ruonan also worked neatly, and the couple tied up more than a dozen of them in a short time.
"Ah Le, Ah Nan, you are busy!"
Li Changle turned around and saw the gray-haired Grandma Chen coming with Chen Yongwei, "Grandma Chen, come in and sit down quickly!"
The couple smiled, put down their work, and welcomed the old lady into the house.
The old lady was also miserable. Her husband left early and her son died at a young age. Her daughter-in-law couldn't bear the pain, so she returned to her parents' home to get married the next year.
Fortunately, a few years ago, Aunt Awei was at home. After the two aunts got married, she and Awei depended on each other. Because of her small feet, she didn't like to go out, so she just worked at the vegetable patch at the door, weaved nets, and knitted summer hats to earn some money. Gas money.
People at the seaside are not short of salt. There is a salt farm next to Shaji Village. The villagers divert seawater into rivers and ditches and build ponds to dry the salt.
The salt people, like the fishermen, all rely on the weather for their livelihood. Every family is happy when it is sunny for several days. Every family complains when it rains for three days. They are hungry when it rains for three consecutive days. They suffer from thunderstorms and typhoons.
If the weather is slightly bad, salt residents can't even sleep well. Once they notice signs of rain, they put on their raincoats and rush out of their homes as quickly as possible and run to the salt ponds to harvest.
Especially in summer, thunder and lightning are always followed by heavy rains, and typhoons and storms sweep away the salt ponds. You can only watch the almost-dried salt mix with seawater and flow into the sea.
After the old lady sat down, she said seriously: "Ah Le, Grandma came to tell you, I don't worry about Ah Wei following you to do things. He is stupid and has a bad temper. Please be more patient."
Li Changle glanced at Chen Yongwei, who was giggling aside, "Chen Grandma, Ah Wei is not stupid at all, she just doesn't like to be in contact with people, and she gets nervous when talking to unfamiliar people.
Don't worry, Awei is a filial man. When you make money and get a wife, you can just wait and enjoy the blessings of your great-grandson."
"Grandma likes to hear this!" The old lady looked at Zhou Ruonan happily, "It is said that men become sensible late, but as soon as Ah Le becomes sensible, even her speech will be different."
"Thank you, Grandma Chen!" Zhou Ruonan said politely with a smile.
"Grandma Chen..." Li Changle told the old lady what he had just said to Chen Yongwei. After seeing that she had no objection, Zhou Ruonan wrote the contract and the two signed it.
The old lady took the contract, glared at Shale's grandson, and said to Li Changle: "Ale, if Awei has a bad temper, just tell me and I will deal with him!"
Chen Yongwei said dissatisfied: "Grandma, I'm twenty-two years old, I know the importance of things. Ask my brother, do I have a bad temper when I'm with him?
If you are like this at home, you are not very good at reciting it, but you can recite it more powerfully than Tang Sanzang's tightening curse. Who can bear it?"
"You brat!" the old lady scolded with a smile, then turned to Li Changle and said, "You guys will work hard from now on and show your talents to those in the village who praise you and put them down."
Li Changle nodded and said, "Don't worry, Grandma, we will do our best for our own sake."
"Okay, if you say that, I feel relieved." The old lady stood up cheerfully, "I'm going back, Awei is here to help me."
"Okay!" Chen Yongwei sent the old lady out in a hurry.
