Chen Yongwei carried the vegetable basket into the yard and saw brother and sister Li Xiaohai sitting around on the eaves of the steps, with their heads together. When he stepped forward, he saw that several children were playing with wooden sticks.
Li Xiaohai looked up and saw him, "Uncle Ah Wei, you are here!"
"Well!" Chen Yongwei picked up the melon and handed it to several children, "Take it and share it." "Thank you, Uncle Awei!"
"Thank you, Uncle Awei, your melons are so sweet."
"There are still vegetables in the vegetable patch. I haven't had enough to eat in the past few days. If you want to eat, go to my vegetable patch to pick it!" Chen Yongwei looked around and saw that the adults were not there, "Where is your father? Is he still taking a nap?"
"Yeah! I'll shout for you!" Li Xiaohai ran into the house, "Abba, get up, Uncle Awei has brought corn and melons." "Here he is!" Li Changle took a look and blushed. Xia's Zhou Ruonan said, "You lie down for a while, I'll go out first."
"Hurry up, it's time for Ah Wei to come into the house." Zhou Ruonan glared at him angrily and sat up.
"Hmm!" Li Changle didn't dare to be a monster, so he licked his hair, opened the door and walked out. Chen Yongwei entered the house with a vegetable basket. "Brother, Afa asked you if you are going to fish for eels and lobsters later?" "
"The hozen hasn't left yet?" He saw the melons in the vegetable basket, picked up one, smacked it open and started to chew on it. "He just came back and said he finished the work over there."
Chen Yongwei took out the melons and waxy corns and put them on the table. "He said the price of eels was pretty good. Some people at the market charged 10.21 pounds. He also said he wanted to go fishing with us!"
"Brother, I don't think he does it for fun. Isn't it quite popular to be a bamboo craftsman? Why did he remember to come back to sea fishing?"
"A dustpan takes several years to make. In addition, there are more and more plastic products nowadays. People buy them and think they are good for use. Naturally, fewer people hire bamboo craftsmen."
"So that's what happened." Chen Yongwei said, "Then will you go fishing for eels and crayfish?"
People on the beach feel that the lobster mud in the river pond has a strong smell, and the fish and shrimp in the river are not valuable. Only young people occasionally get them and eat them.
Li Changle looked at the scorching sun outside, "What's the difference between going now and basking in the sun? If you want to go, you have to wait until three or four o'clock, when the sun is overcast." He thought that it had been a long time since we had played together, and he didn't want to go during the day. It's better to postpone the evening and go out to sea fishing or have some fun.
"Then I'll go talk to Ah Fa." Chen Yongwei was about to leave carrying the vegetable basket.
"Why are you panicking? The account hasn't been settled yet!" Li Changle threw the melon rind aside in a basin, stood up and wiped his mouth, "I'll go get the account book and still have money. Let's settle the account and divide the money. You can pay for it last time." Take back the agreement you wrote."
"Yeah!" Chen Yongwei put down the food basket and sat down.
Li Changle entered the room, and Zhou Ruonan, who was combing his hair, glared at him with a red face, "Don't do this next time. How embarrassing is it in broad daylight?"
"As the old saying goes, after lighting candles and worshiping, no one will talk about doing things in broad daylight!" Li Changle smiled and pinched her earlobe, "It's normal for a couple to do things. You should be more natural. Who can tell?"
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you!" Zhou Ruonan handed him the account book and the money, "You go out first, I'll come back later." "You can't tell." Li Changle said, and hurriedly took the account book and the money. The money went out.
"The catch we gave to Adong's family was sold for one hundred and twenty-three, and we sold it for one hundred and ninety-six. Apart from Uncle Kun's five yuan and the forty-one yuan from us, there is still one hundred and fifty yuan left." He After a pause, "Including the 162 yuan that was sold before and not divided, the total is 435 yuan. When those beads are sold, we will divide them."
Chen Yongwei rubbed his hands happily, "My dear, it's only been a while, and we have already earned so much." "If all those sea urchins were given to restaurants, it would be dozens more!"
"The prices at Adong's are considered fair in the neighborhood, and their profits are so high. No wonder they say those who do business are profiteers." "In their view, we Taohai people are still doing business without capital! "
".." Chen Yongwei felt that this was wrong, but he couldn't think of anything to refute.
Li Changle picked up the money, counted one hundred and seventy-four yuan, put it in front of him, and said to him: "Now that you have money, I think you'd better take out some more money to add to 30% of the shares."
Chen Yongwei shook his head, "Brother, two achievements are enough."
After hearing this, Zhou Ruonan, who came out of the house, also advised: "Awei, just listen to your brother and add some more money to make up for 30% of the shares. You two work hard and you will earn back your money in a short time..." "
"Sister-in-law, I'm not afraid of losing money, I, I..." Chen Yongwei scratched his head, looked at the two of them with a grateful face and said:
"I've only worked with my brother for a week, and I've already earned 20% of the shares. I still have some spare money. If I ask for more, I won't have the shame to work with my brother."
After hearing this, Li Changle stopped trying to persuade him and patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, brother, I understand what you mean. We two brothers will work hard in the future and strive to get the land and infrastructure to build a new house next year!" Chen Yongwei nodded heavily, "Yeah! We will build the new house in the future. Built next to each other."
"Okay!" Li Changle picked up the account book, "We have divided the money from the sale. Now I will report to you the money spent, which is 350 for the boat, 140 for the tricycle, and 300 for the repair and modification of the boat."
"I bought the ground cage net, the cables and frame of the crab net, as well as cans, fishing ropes, and steel wires, a total of one hundred and forty-nine yuan, oh, and my sister-in-law's salary of six yuan, a total of..." "Brother, sister-in-law You haven’t calculated my wages yet, my uncle and aunt also helped..."
"We gave it to them, but they didn't want it. They said they would be satisfied if they let us work hard." Zhou Ruonan said with a smile: "I don't want mine either, so I will support you two in starting a business." She also likes the honest and simple Chen Yongwei, and can rest assured that Li Changle went with him.
Chen Yongwei nodded repeatedly, "Sister-in-law, tell my cousin that my brother is now more diligent and willing to work than me!"
"Yes, I want to do it now, and I don't need them to chase me with a whip." Li Changle patted the money on the table and looked at the two of them with a proud look on his face, "I can earn it by chasing him with a whip. This money?"
Zhou Ruonan looked at him funny and said, "Okay, okay, you are awesome!"
"That's right!" Chen Yongwei curled his lips, "What's so cool? It's what a man should do to earn money to support his wife and children." "Hey~" Li Changle glared at him, "Which country are you from?"
Of course we belong to the same country as you!" Chen Yongwei chuckled, "Brother, please settle the account quickly. I will take the money back and give it to my grandma to make her happy." Li Changle thought of the fabric, "You buy the material. I gave you grandma, did she scold you?"
"First she scolded me for not being in a hurry to make some money. Then she held the cloth in front of the Buddhist altar and muttered, saying that she had not suffered in vain all these years and finally waited until the day when I became sensible. She also said that when I asked for a wife, she would I'll go out and be single."
Now that Chen Yongwei thinks about it, he still feels uncomfortable in his heart, "Brother, why are most of the old people here when they are old and can no longer work and need the care of their children, like old dogs that no one wants in the village, sitting around in the house? How about building a hut in a corner and living in isolation?"
After hearing this, Zhou Ruonan felt uncomfortable in her heart. Thinking of her lonely mother, she became even more reluctant to forgive her unscrupulous brother and sister-in-law.
"Is it mainly because you are too poor? As long as you have the ability, your grandma will not live that kind of life." Li Changle looked at Zhou Ruonan who was hanging his head and said nothing, and also thought of his mother-in-law who was alone in Lucheng.
"Yeah! I will work hard and not let my grandma live that kind of life."
"Settling the accounts, settling the accounts!" Li Changle picked up the account book, "The total expenses for buying the boat, repairing the ship, and purchasing household items were nine hundred and forty-five. You own two shares, which is exactly one hundred and eighty-nine yuan. After deducting the amount you gave It’s one hundred and fifty yuan, and I still need to pay thirty-nine yuan.”
"Okay!" Chen Yongwei happily counted thirty-nine, "This stock is quite lucky!"
"Good luck, I hope we can exchange our small boat for a big one soon." Li Changle asked Zhou Ruonan to write the contract, then turned to Chen Yongwei and said:
"When the ship comes back, we will have to pay our wages when we go to sea. My father said that if the small boat earns fifty yuan a month, we will pay them the same. What do you think?" "Brother, you are the boss of the ship, and your wages are better than those of the boatmen." High."
"You are still a shareholder! When we get a bigger ship, I will get the salary of the boss of the ship." Li Changle picked up the full fan and fanned it a few times. He didn't even have the money to buy a fan in front of him.
First get the boat ready, build a new house, buy a bigger boat, buy an electric fan, a TV, a bicycle... then there is hope.
"I heard that the boats from the North Shore are more than ten or twenty meters long, and their machinery and equipment are much more advanced than our fishing boats. They cost several thousand!"
"The last time I was in town, I heard them say that the ship over there at Benwan is more than a hundred meters long and twenty meters wide, with a deadweight of one to two thousand tons. It has a generator, a cold storage, a fresh water machine, and a fishing net collection. Equipment, as long as we can think of it, is all there.”
Li Changle's heart started to heat up when he thought of Dong Chen's big ship.
"Fuck~" Chen Yongwei's eyes shone with envy, "Brother, I don't dare to think about this. If I can buy a boat with a load of one hundred tons in this life and go to several large fishing grounds, I will I am completely satisfied."
"If the demand is higher, let's open the entire thousand-ton wheel." Li Changle shook the cattail leaf fan loudly, as if he could blow all the money into the house. "Don't listen to your brother's nonsense, he enjoys bragging. I don’t get the nickname for nothing.”
"Honey, this is my dream. Only when you have dreams can you have the motivation to make money."
"Okay, okay, I wish you to set sail towards your dream!" Zhou Ruonan said and handed the stock order to Chen Yongwei with a smile, "Take it back and put it away for grandma." "Yeah!" Chen Yongwei happily wrapped the money and the order. Together, "Brother, don't forget to go fishing for eels at three o'clock!"
"Got it!"
Li Changle handed the remaining money to Zhou Ruonan, "Honey, there are still one hundred yuan left to give back to grandma. We also have a boat and a tricycle. We are also a wealthy family."
