"Oh my god, I've been here for so long, and those who go to the open sea haven't caught as many fish as you. You were born to eat the sea, so I'll make a fortune if I take you out to sea. There are big yellow croakers, golden pomfret, giant octopus, groupers, and so on!"

Lu Li also flattered on the side: "Of course not, my sister-in-law is born lucky! My brother married her, it means that my ancestors buried her well, my mother doesn't know how happy she is!"

Jiang Yan was so embarrassed by their constant chatter.

Nian A-mei was also one of the beneficiaries. She grinned and almost jumped up. "Sister-in-law, thanks to you, I caught a five-pound grouper. Hahahaha, there's a snack tonight. Do you want to come to my house for dinner? I'll make you a steamed dish. It's very fresh."

Nian A-mei has a pretty face and is naturally likable.

Jiang Yan refused: "Sister, no need, I have plenty here! Come to the family compound when you have time, and I'll make two for you!"

Nian A-mei was a little hesitant: "Can I go?"

Jiang Yan blinked, looking puzzled: "Why not! Sister-in-law, is there such a rule?"

Li Yuzhen's husband is a political commissar after all! She knows a lot: "Sister, come here! You can find a young man in the military region to settle down!"

These Dan people have no land and have lived on the sea all their lives. Their lifestyle and cultural traditions embody part of China's maritime culture.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the national policies were good and local governments also encouraged them to settle down.

Those who have money have already bought land and built houses in nearby brigades, but most of them are still wandering on the sea.

Nian A-mei is quick-witted and good at business, and is considered the backbone of the family.

She has no plans to get married for the time being, as she has a mother, a father, and elderly grandparents to support at home!

Nian A-mei said embarrassedly: "Sister-in-law, look at you, you are making fun of me again. I have never been to school, I can't recognize two words, and I wear straw sandals. How can that man be interested in me? Come back to the boat with me!"

Her mother said that as a woman, one must accept one's fate and that they are destined to drift on the sea in this life.

From now on, I can only find a family with Dan family. Even if I get off the boat, people won’t look down on me!

Jiang Yan disagreed with this: "If someone has hands and feet, is good at speaking, and is not bad looking, and the man is not blind, he would be happy to find someone like you! We all depend on fate for our livelihood, and no one is more noble than anyone else."

Jiang Yan's words still touched Nian A'mei, because she had no house and only a broken fishing boat, and she was not a local, so it would be easy for her to be excluded.

Nian A-mei didn't know how many times she had been looked down upon. What did those people say? She was just a stinky fishmonger.

She doesn't care what others say. As long as she makes money with her own abilities, she won't be ashamed in anything she does.

"Sister-in-law, I feel warm when I hear your words. I'll come another day." As a young man, it's rare to meet someone you can talk to. I want to visit her whenever I have time.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you. I'm going back now. What about you?" Her bucket was full and couldn't hold anything more, so she had to carry the fishing net along.

"Sister-in-law, you go first! My brother is still digging oysters. He digs them up and dries them in the hot weather. He makes soup with them in the winter. Otherwise, he'll have to eat cabbage and radishes. He'll be stupid!"

Jiang Yan said she understood: "Then I'm leaving!"

Seeing Lu Li struggling to lift the net, she picked it up with one hand, carried the full bucket with the other, and walked away easily.

Lu Li hurriedly followed, running out of breath, "Sister-in-law, wait for me!"

Seeing how steadily she lifted it, his sister-in-law is indeed the strongest, and only his brother can handle it!

"Oh!" Jiang Yan slowed down and waited for Lu Li. Li Yuzhen and Luo Chunya also hurried to catch up.

Amid everyone's envious gazes, Jiang Yan felt that she was very lucky as she had a good harvest on her first trip to the sea.

Li Yuzhen took the opportunity to make a reservation: "Xiao Jiang, are you going to the beach tomorrow? I feel safe with you, at least I don't have to go back empty-handed!"

Luo Chunya also rushed to say: "If you want to talk about this luck, you are the first one in the family compound, you have something to eat, look, my bucket is full, let's see if Lao Li will still say that I am messing around! He loves to eat and is lazy, if he was not tired from training, I would take the kids to the beach to make mud!"

To put it bluntly, you feel sorry for your man?

Li Yuzhen looked amused: "You only know how to complain. If he skips a meal, you'll get calluses on your ears from nagging."

Luo Chunya did not refute this, and smiled: "You should love your own man. If he doesn't work, who will support the family? My children and I still rely on his allowance to survive!"

Nowadays, most men are the breadwinners of the family, so women have a relatively low status. If they meet a good one, it all depends on luck.

"My family is the same. We haven't farmed for several years. Even if I go back to the village, I can't do it. I'm not cut out for it!"

Li Yuzhen and her husband Ma Fuqiang met through an introduction from their hometown. She looked down on him at first, but after getting to know him, she found that he was a good person and, most importantly, hardworking.

No need to shout, he would go to work in her fields as soon as he had a day off, carrying grains on his back and digging sweet potatoes, until the skin was peeled off. Everyone in the village would say that this was a good son-in-law!

The two of them got together, and then she followed the army and got pregnant and raised a child.

Lu Li also had a say. He looked bitter: "Because I don't work in the fields, my father and my second uncle both said that I was going to fail. Can't men take care of things at home? There is always someone who takes care of things inside and outside. If everyone goes out, how can we live? Isn't it tiring for men and women to work together?"

Li Yuzhen smiled brightly after hearing this: "There's nothing wrong with your idea! Lazy people have good fortune. As long as you are willing to work, there will be endless work to do. You live your own life, and only you know whether it's good or not. Look at Brigade Commander Song, does he look like your future father-in-law?"

Lu Li looked shy, but he didn't act pretentiously at all, probably because his face was too fair.

A puppy? Who would hate it!

"I'll work hard, and in the future I'll have someone to walk with my sisters-in-law in the courtyard!"

It's a freeloader. Once you get hold of it, you won't let go.

He looked at Jiang Yan and made a negotiation: "Sister-in-law, these fish are very fresh. I will buy you two and send them to the Song family. Comrade Song just finished his mission, so it's a good time to make up for it."

Luo Chunya slapped Lu Li on the shoulder and said, "Boy, if you don't have a wife, your sister-in-law will be confused. That's right, you have to be quick, ruthless and accurate. If you can't catch a good one, it will be someone else's. You will regret it then. Many people in the army are eyeing Song Jingtian! That girl is in high demand."

It would be strange if the market was not good. What's wrong with being beaten? Her future was guaranteed, after all, she was the daughter of the brigade commander.

Lu Li said as if it was a matter of course: "What does a good market situation mean? She is good enough, and others have the same good taste as me, right?"

Jiang Yan sighed: "Your mouth is as sweet as honey, why didn't your brother tell you to learn from him?"

Lu Li said subconsciously without thinking: "He is not sweet enough to you, what he said is so corny!"

As she spoke, she got goose bumps all over her body. It was obvious that she was greatly tortured by Lu Xiao.
