Li Changle and Chen Yongwei were busy tying the jars for more than an hour. They looked at the time and saw that it was just past one o'clock.

Thinking that the tide would ebb later today than yesterday, the two took a frame made of steel wire and went to the alley to start making a cage net.

After working for a while, Sister-in-law Li came and said, "Ale, how nice would it be if you asked Nan to make so many ground cages, buy so many cans to catch octopus, and spend some money to repair the family boat, and then go out to sea to cast nets."

When Li Changle saw her taking the initiative to bring it up, he joked: "Sister-in-law, aren't you afraid that I will occupy the boat?"

"I'm really not afraid of you two." Sister-in-law Li glanced at Li Changle, "The two elders have been worried that you are still fooling around like you did a few days ago. Now that you are willing to work hard and make money, I think they are eager to do it!"

The two elders doted on Ah Le. After the old man was discharged from the hospital and recovered his health, he would definitely find a way to repair the boat and take Ah Le to go to sea and set nets together.

Rather than that, it would be better for Ah Le to use the money to repair the ship, so as to save the elders from asking them to borrow money to repair the ship later.

Zhou Ruonan pulled the bench for her to sit down, "Sister-in-law, to tell you the truth, Ah Le told his father in the hospital today that we would try to raise some money to buy the boat. My father said that we would discuss it with you when we come back."

.......

"What's there to discuss? When the family was separated, the two elders said that before A Huan got married, the boat would not be taken out and divided. When A Huan got married, my father was old and had no energy to go to sea. Who would be willing to take the house? , just buy it with money."

"Then I have to tell you. The whole family needs to be clear about it, so as to avoid any estrangement and hurt feelings."

"Sister-in-law understands." Sister-in-law Li said and sat next to Zhou Ruonan and whispered to her, "A'nan, let me tell you the truth.

If I hadn't signed a three-year contract with the ship owner, I would have asked Aping to quit the job on the ship, use the money to repair the family fishing boat, and go fishing offshore. The family could still be together more often. !」

Zhou Ruonan thought of how his eldest uncle and his second uncle had gone out to sea with the boat for more than a year. They returned to the sea to rest for a few days, and then went to the fishing ground with the boat again. The family spent less time together and more time apart.

"When eldest brother's three-year term is over, you should have saved up the money to buy a fishing boat. Then you will buy a boat by yourself, just like the Meihua family, the couple hires two people to go to sea together."

Sister-in-law Li said tangledly: "I'm almost worried to death. After all the calculations, I only have so little money. If I want to build a new house, I don't have the money to buy a boat. If I buy a boat, I can't build a house."

Xiaoyang and Xiaotao are boys, no matter what, Xiaohui is getting older every day, and it’s not decent to still be crowded in the same room with his brothers."

Zhou Ruonan thought about the saying that when an older child avoids his mother, an older daughter avoids her father. Xiaoqing and Xiaohui are getting older day by day, and it is indeed a big deal to have a big house or a second room.

Li Changle smiled and interrupted: "Sister-in-law, there is nothing to worry about. You can use half of the money to build two houses first, and the other half can be used to buy a boat in partnership with the second brother's family. If you are lucky, you can build a new house with one net. The money comes back."

I don’t know what the eldest brother and the second brother were thinking in their last life. After the three-year period expired, both families took the money to build new houses.

The two brothers worked on the boats for another three years. In 1988 or 1989, prices rose sharply. With three years of wages, they could no longer afford to buy fishing boats three years ago. Even the small boats were much smaller.

Li Changle thinks about it now and feels that it is similar to buying a house in later generations. Start early and make money early!

Chen Yongwei took it and said, "Sister-in-law, I heard from my grandma that my little aunt spent more than 4,000 yuan to build two two-story buildings last year. You can build the ground floor first and earn money to build the second floor."

Sister-in-law Li smiled and said: "You two have good ideas. I will discuss it with your elder brother when he comes back."

Li Changle: "My brother and the others are still hiding from the typhoon on the pier?"

"Yeah! When I came back, I made a special trip to Dafang. My eldest aunt said that Ah Cai called the village committee and said that they would return home after avoiding the typhoon."

"The typhoon has only lasted the past two days, right?"

"It's just for the past two days."

"Is the family boat docked at the pier or in the harbor?"

"Have you forgotten? Dad was damaged by a typhoon last time."

"I didn't care about anything before, how can I remember?"

"You have to work hard in the future and don't let Anan and the two elders worry." After Mrs. Li said this, without waiting for his reply, she leaned into Zhou Ruonan's ear and started to whisper.

"Nan, I think Ah Wei's idea is good, but Ah Zhen has such a temper, do you think she will agree to a partnership?"

After Zhou Ruonan pondered for a moment, he said: "Second sister-in-law is just a bit withdrawn, but she does a good job in matters of right and wrong.

Besides, this matter is beneficial to both of you. I think when the eldest brother comes back, you should ask him to mention it to the second brother first and let him discuss it with the second sister-in-law."

"Hmm!" Sister-in-law Li said with a smile, "I still like to talk to Teacher Zhou. Tell her that if you say ten things and she replies with one, it's boring!"

Zhou Ruonan glared at her angrily, "You're teasing me again."

"Hee hee!" Sister-in-law Li had her mind settled. She held a shuttle ruler in one hand and a shuttle in the other. The shuttle moved up and down quickly, and the green fishing line criss-crossed in her hands, weaving into evenly sized grids.

The four people pieced the knitted mesh together like sewing clothes, and worked together until after two o'clock. The children who were taking a nap also got up, and then they made a few floor cages.

Although it is slow, the quality is nothing to say.

Sister-in-law Li looked at Li Xiaoyang, who was sitting on the bench and was still a little confused, "It's been more than a month since the holiday. Have you started doing your homework?"

"Oh, why are you in such a hurry? There are still more than twenty days left. Don't worry about when I will do it. As long as I can register when school starts!" Li Xiaoyang said as he stood up and sat farther away from her to avoid being beaten.

Sister-in-law Li's eyes flew over, "Do you think I want to take care of you? I'm not too impatient to ask you. Let me make it clear to you first. When school starts and you haven't finished your homework, I will ask your aunt to tell your class teacher,

I won’t sign you up!”

Li Xiaoyang curled his lips and said, "It would be better if you don't sign up! I will go shopping with my third uncle to make money."

"With your small body, you still want to go fishing?" Li Changle flicked his forehead with his finger, "If you go, you will get stuck in the mud and you won't be able to get up!"

When he talked about studying, he felt proud in his heart. The best child in the Li family and even in Shatou Village was his son, and the worst was Li Xiaoyang. He started searching for a living after graduating from elementary school.

When he was less than 16 years old, he went fishing with his father and later became the boss of the boat. Although it was hard work, he earned a lot of money.

No matter how much he earns, he is not as dignified as his two sons wherever he goes.

Li Xiaoyang touched his forehead, "I went there with my grandpa, so I wouldn't get stuck in the mud!"

"You also know that grandpa brought you along. You can try it alone. It's okay if there are people in the trap. If there is no one, just wait for the tide to rise and feed the fish!"
