Xiao Hao slammed his fist on the table and shouted, "I'm not having it! The fish in the sea are ours!"

"Dad, our family is saving money. When I grow up, I'm going to sail a big ship and go fishing in the deep sea!"

Xiao Feng and the others looked at each other, their faces flushed. Yu Sheng took a deep drag on his cigarette and said, "Damn it, I'm getting worse and worse. I'm not even as good as a kid!"

I proposed that we, a few of us, should join forces and not let anyone else get involved, and also place an order with the shipyard to buy a large ship.

Chen Hong just happened to buy two boats, and with the one from each of our families, we can have three boats going out to sea together, so we can look out for each other.

Aunt Guo agreed immediately: "Thanks to Chen Hong, all of our families made money last year."

This year, everyone has invested in aquaculture farms. If you don't have enough money, you can take out a loan. I heard that the shipyard can help you with the loan application.

Don't be afraid of taking on debt. We need to have confidence. If we all work hard this year, we'll definitely earn more than last year.

The four families pooled their resources to buy the boat, and Chen Hong agreed. They all knew each other well, had lived in the same village for generations, and trusted each other completely.

The relationship between their families was even stronger than their relationship with Chen Hong.

After clarifying the entire process of Chen Hong's boat booking application, the village chief plans to take action tomorrow.

Xiao Feng was instructed to take the heads of the four families to the shipyard to place orders and also to apply for subsidies.

When Chen Hong returned home, they were still discussing the details. After all, this was a huge investment for their families, so it was normal to be excited and nervous.

Back home, Chen Hong first fed Black Tiger and Glasses, then went for a walk in the backyard and found that the chicken and duck coops were cleaned up, and Aunt Guo had taken the eggs to the front yard.

After filling the water tank with water from the space, Chen Hong went to the storage room to fill all the plastic buckets with "fermentation bacteria" before returning to her bedroom upstairs.

Finally, Chen Hong was alone again. She washed up, changed her clothes, and called her father first.

Judging from the sounds, the father and son were panting heavily, they were jogging outside.

"Everything's fine at home, so don't worry about what you're doing. Yu Yang and I are going for a run, I'll hang up now!" Dad's voice was loud and clear on the phone.

The old man seemed a little impatient, as if he was annoyed that his eldest daughter was disturbing their exercise.

Chen Hong smiled bitterly as she held her phone. She thought she was very important to her son, but with his maternal grandfather around, it didn't matter at all if she, as his mother, left for a few days.

Her son had truly grown up and was now able to be independent! It seemed she wasn't as important as she had imagined! Chen Hong suddenly felt a pang of jealousy.

Shaking her head to shake off the sudden sadness, Chen Hong entered the space.

We've stored over 8,000 jin of honey in the space; it's time to ship it to Beijing.

Chen Hong weighed out 2,000 jin of honey, divided it into custom-made thickened plastic buckets, and neatly arranged them to one side, ready to be shipped to Beijing tomorrow.

Dr. Wu has called her twice to urge the delivery, but she has been in Jinan and hasn't had a chance to ship the goods to him.

Chen Hong washed a plate of strawberries and ate them while resting on a bamboo recliner.

Looking around, the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers and fruits. Fish splash water as they flick their tails, and bees buzz busily around.

The air inside is much better!

Chen Hong relaxed, inhaling the sweet fragrance of the air, and enjoying the delicious and sweet strawberries. She felt incredibly happy.

After finishing a plate of strawberries, Chen Hong suddenly realized that the bees in her space had multiplied too much. She had already bought thirty beehives, and now they were all full.

Not only were there clusters of dead bees in front of the hives, but she also discovered that several fruit trees had been used as nests by bees.

That won't do. If we accidentally bump into a beehive while picking fruit, won't we easily get stung by bees?

Besides, it's not easy to harvest honey from beehives on fruit trees; that would be a waste!

It seems it's time to move some of the bees out. The pear blossoms in the orchard on the mountain haven't bloomed yet, so setting up a few beehives will help the orchard pollinate better.

This is quite urgent. It seems that after sending the honey tomorrow, the most pressing thing is to go to the agricultural supply market to buy some beehives and distribute the bees from the space.

After resting, Chen Hong picked more ripe strawberries and other fruits, sorting them and packing them into baskets.

Sigh! I have so much fruit stored in my storage space!

We can't finish eating it all, we have nowhere to give it away, and we dare not sell it! It's really a difficult situation!

Back in my hometown, we would often dry fruit and make dried fruit preserves.

She went to Jinan, a densely populated city where it was inconvenient to do anything, and she hadn't dried fruit for a long time.

With a small kitchen at home and a low-powered oven that can't bake too much fruit or make many dried fruits, Chen Hong is hesitant to pick fruit from the trees anymore.

They can only be left hanging on the branches, and there's no space to store them!

Tomorrow's shopping list has another item: plastic crates, and the more the merrier!

Chen Hong took one last look at the lush flowers and greenery under the tree, and suddenly felt like she had a new job to do.

After leaving the space, I quickly took a shower and went to bed. I checked my phone and realized I hadn't replied to any of the messages I'd sent before, and there weren't any missed calls. Sigh! Another day without being able to contact Zhou Yi.

Chen Hong was helpless. The special forces soldier was really strong and had a lot of masculine charm, which attracted her, a woman with a lustful nature.

However, special forces soldiers also face many restrictions, and it is common for them to lose contact with their families for months at a time.

She's becoming increasingly pretentious; when she wants a man, she wants him by her side, and when she doesn't need him, she wants him to be far away.

Thinking about it carefully, she really has no conscience!

Thinking of Zhou Yi's scars, Chen Hong felt a pang of heartache. Yes! She would treat Zhou Yi even better from now on!

As the saying goes, "What you think about during the day, you dream about at night." That night, Zhou Yi entered Chen Hong's dream with a wronged expression!

When Chen Hong woke up in the morning, her head was still a little foggy.
