Li Changle hurriedly opened the door, and the wind and rain followed him and poured into the house, "It's raining so hard, why are you here?"

"Brother, I heard from people who came back that the tide was high and there was strong wind. The wind and waves on the sea were higher than the hills. The cages and jars we lowered must have been washed away." Chen Yongwei said anxiously. "The jars were lowered. We have already taken reinforcement measures when we were there, and there is nothing we can do if we really want to wash it away, so we can avoid disaster by sacrificing money and money!"

Chen Yongwei said with a frustrated look: "You all blame me. I hurriedly put down the ground trap and crab trap. I had known I would have waited for you to come back before going."

Seeing that his distressed eyebrows were knitted together, Li Changle smiled and consoled him: "Why are you thinking so much? It's already raining, and it's impossible to take the ground cage back now. There's nothing you can do if you really want to wash it away. Just do it again if it's gone!" "Awei, your brother is right. If it's washed away, we'll buy the materials and make it again. Besides, it doesn't mean it will be washed away. Maybe when the typhoon passes, the cage will be full. I’ve already caught the fish!” Zhou Ruonan also advised.

"Sister-in-law is right, bad things can turn into good things." Chen Yongwei gathered up his raincoat and said, "Go back and eat and have a good sleep, and wait until the typhoon passes before collecting the cages." Li Changle: "My family made a big stew at night. My sister-in-law and sister-in-law also made some delicious pig trotters to eat together, so we ate them at my house and then went back."

????????????

"No, my grandma has also cooked the stew. I will go back and eat with her." Chen Yongwei opened the door and got into the rain and fog. At this time, the light in the room flickered a few times and it was completely dark!

"There's a power outage, I'll get the oil lamp."

People on the beach are used to having a typhoon every July and August, and every time a typhoon comes, there is a power outage. The oil lamps at home are always on hand. When there is a power outage, Zhou Ruonan rushes to the kitchen house to get the oil lamp.

At this time, Li Xiaozhou shouted, "Abba, it's raining at home, and it's falling on my head." "It's raining, and it's falling on my head, too." Li Xiaohai also shouted.

Li Changle hurriedly picked up the headlamp hanging on the wall, looked up at the position above his head, and saw water droplets condensing on the roof rafters. After looking at it, he discovered that there were three or four places where rain was leaking. He hurriedly stepped forward and took him down, "Go sit somewhere else with your brother."

"Abba, I'll take the jar to catch the rain." Li Xiaohai, who was used to helping Zhou Ruonan, picked up the jar and placed it in the place where the rain was leaking.

Zhou Ruonan came out with an oil lamp and saw that they had already connected the jars. He walked towards the room with the oil lamp and looked up at the roof. "Ale, quickly bring the remaining jars. There is also a leak in the room." ." "Here it comes!" Li Changle hurriedly took the jars, and his two sons also helped to take two more, and followed him towards the room.

Zhou Ruonan pointed to the places on the roof above the canopy bed where water seeped. "Put the jar below and continue. You see, the mosquito net is soaked and has fallen to the straw mat." "It's okay, take it dry." Just wipe the handkerchief and you'll be able to sleep."

Li Changle stood on the square stool and placed the jar in the leaking area. Zhou Ruonan was busy wiping the straw mat with a dry handkerchief.

When he put the jars down and came down, he saw that the room was not wide, and now only the small bed of his two sons was not leaking. The idea of ​​making money to build a new house was more urgent than ever. "Ah Le, Ah Nan, come over for dinner." Sister-in-law Li shouted from outside.

Let's all eat together tonight. The food my grandma cooked at her parents' place for three afternoons is stewed pig's trotters with soybeans, dried salted fish, boiled prawns, spicy snails, fried octopus with celery, and jellyfish pickled by Sister Li. "Oh, it's time to eat!" The two children liked to eat together with their elder brothers and sisters. They thought it was fun to fight over the food. When they heard the eldest aunt shouting, they cheered and ran outside.

"Anan, stop wiping and go eat." Li Changle picked up the oil lamp and said.

"Hmm!" Zhou Ruonan touched the straw mat and felt that it should be dry before going to bed. She walked out of the room with him, went to the kitchen to get a few sets of dishes and chopsticks, and then went out together to go to his parents. Several boys Not afraid of the rain, they huddled together and squatted under the eaves, poking around with a stick.

Li Changle stepped forward and slapped several boys on the head, "You haven't gone in to eat, what are you doing here?"

Li Xiaoyang took away the stick and pointed at the bugs on the ground, "Third uncle, look, all the bugs hiding in the soil have been washed out by the water." Li Xiaohai: "There are also ant nests. Let's dig open the holes and fill them with water." A lot of ants came out."

Li Changle looked over and said, "Okay, hurry in and eat."

"It's time to eat, two of you, do you want me to bring you a stick?" Sister-in-law Li shouted again. "Here we come!" Several children threw the sticks into the yard, turned around and ran towards the house.

"Wow! So many pig's trotters." Li Xiaotao said happily, "I like to eat pig's trotters the most."

Mother Li moved the sea bowl in front of the children, "Eat more if you like it. Your third uncle bought two big ones and stewed them all. There is still one pot that has not been served yet." Father Li looked at his grandchildren lovingly. , "Eat more if you like it, soybean stewed pig's trotters, you will grow taller after eating it."

Zhou Ruonan's three sisters-in-law brought the dishes to the table. Li Changle took the jar of old wine and said to Zhou Ruonan and others: "You have nothing to do tonight, do you want a drink too?"

The locals usually drink rice wine. He knew that several women in his family would drink it, but they were reluctant to do so on weekdays. When there were guests at home, they rarely served it. They only drank two glasses when the family got together. Mother Li nodded with a smile. , "Your father can't drink it. Give it to your elder sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, and Nan."

Sister-in-law Li smiled, wiped her hands on her apron, and said, "It's okay to drink two drinks. If you drink more, you'll be so drunk that you won't even know it's overflowing with water in the middle of the night." Sister-in-law Li also nodded and handed the chopsticks to the children. , everyone sat down around the dining table.

When they were in the kitchen house, Li's mother told the two of them that Li Changle had given fifty yuan to his elders that day after they left. The two sisters-in-law's sense of him had improved a lot. The second sister-in-law Li was no longer indifferent. Ignore him.

"Grandma, have a drink too!" Li Changle smiled and poured the wine into her bowl, causing her to cover it with her hands. "It's too much. When you're drunk, no one will take care of your dad." "It's okay, I use a cane." Get up." Li's father said cheerfully, "Pour more for her, she didn't even sleep well in the hospital."

"As the old saying goes, a woman can bring her own alcohol, and she won't get drunk even if she drinks all the rice wine." Li Changle poured the wine for his two sisters-in-law with a smile, then looked at Zhou Ruonan, "Teacher Zhou, you're welcome. Yo!" Zhou Ruonan happily pushed the bowl forward, "Okay, you can take care of those pots and pans when you're drunk."

"Put it on me." Li Changle poured more than half a bowl for her.

"Ale is really different now. In the past, when the family ate, he would just eat with his head down and leave as soon as he finished eating. Unlike now, he would pour us wine." "I don't want to do that every time we eat. , first I was criticized by my father and mother, and then my eldest brother and my second brother came next. Then I learned to behave and ran away after eating in a few seconds!"

Father Li rolled his eyes at him and said, "How dare you say that? You were not able to live up to expectations before. Every time you work, you have to tie a bridle to an ox. I also give you a bridle, so you can work honestly for a long time." Li Xiaohai He raised his oily little face and said, "Grandpa, my dad doesn't need to tie his head now. He works very hard."

Father Li nodded, "Master, I understand. You should also be good and eat well." "Master, the third uncle also bought fire pancakes and ginger candies for us to eat."

Li Xiaotao looked at Li Changle with a smile, "Third uncle, when the typhoon goes away, we will go to the master's palace to pay our respects and ask the master to bless you to find good products every day. You will buy big pig's trotters for us to eat every day, okay?" "Okay," Third uncle makes good products every day and buys big pig's trotters for you to eat every day."

"Ignore him, he is the most greedy in the family."

Li Changle felt that he was much more comfortable eating this time than when he had dinner with his family in his previous life. His father no longer preached as soon as the table was served, but instead watched a few people drinking with a smile on his face, and even pulled him to tell him which desert island There was a lot of catch. The mother and three daughters-in-law were also talking and laughing. In the end, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law drank all the can of rice wine. The four of them thought it was just right to drink like this, and they made an appointment to do the same next time. drink.

After dinner, Zhou Ruonan's sister-in-law packed up the dishes and went to wash the kitchen. Li Changle chatted with his parents and waited for Zhou Ruonan to finish washing, then they took their children home to prepare for bed.

When he went out, he found that it was raining heavily again. Zhou Ruonan was worried that the water in the jar on the roof of the tent would be full and spread to the bed, so he walked home, opened the door, and ran towards the room.

Li Changle stood on the square stool and checked. He had already filled half of the can of water. He simply changed the basin from outside and placed it on the roof of the tent to avoid having to change the can every two hours.

Zhou Ruonan scooped up water and asked his two sons to wash up and go to bed. The two children looked at the basin on the top of the tent and listened to the sound of water dripping into the porcelain basin. They thought it was quite fun and started clamoring to turn the small bed Let them sleep, and they go to sleep on the big bed. "Go to bed quickly! Later, the porcelain basin on the top of the tent will be knocked over, and all the water will pour onto the bed."

"Let's be careful, we won't jump and fall over." Li Xiaozhou said and jumped twice, "Look, it didn't turn over!"

"Xiaohai, Xiaozhou," Zhou Ruonan looked at his two sons with a stern look, "If you don't obey me, grandma will be angry." "Oh!" When the two brothers saw that she was really angry, they got out of bed obediently. Climb into your bed and lie down.

Li Changle emptied the jar with water outside, went to the stove to clean it, and when he came back, he saw that the two children had already fallen asleep. "You can sleep in peace. I will get up and pour water tonight."

"After the typhoon has passed, why don't you go to Haimen Port to find someone to repair the fishing boat?"

"The boat is docked at Zhangjia Pier." Li Changle thought of his father's words about three hundred yuan for renovation and repair, and went over to sit next to her. "After giving the money to dad, how much money do we have left?"

Zhou Ruonan did the math and said, "After deducting the money for buying fishing ropes and mesh wires, paying the deposit, and buying the boat, we still have 256 at home, and I still have 31 in it for weaving the net." Wage." "Your money must be counted separately and cannot be combined with ours."
