At dinner time, everyone sat around a table with a variety of seafood and two plates of stir-fried vegetables.
The advantage of living by the sea is that even if you can't eat chicken, duck, or pork, you can still eat fish, shrimp, and crab.
As long as there is space, it is easy for Qiao Qingqing to eat fresh shrimp.
And tonight, in order to entertain the captain's family, she took the trouble to make some special dishes instead of the usual steamed ones.
Steamed shrimp with garlic vermicelli, spicy swimming crab, steamed fish with oil, braised eel, stir-fried squid, and a pot of steamed oysters.
The stir-fried vegetables are picked by Feng Xiumei from her own vegetable garden.
Although the vegetables grown in Qiao Qingqing's space were edible, she did not grow them herself at this time.
Anyway, Aunt Xiumei insisted on bringing something, and she didn't want the other party to go back to move the food, so she asked him to go home and pick two baskets of vegetables.
If she invites people to dinner, they will have to provide food, so she might as well not invite them.
In order not to attract attention, Qiao Qingqing cooked sweet potato rice tonight.
When he saw the sweet potato rice, Lu Heng subconsciously glanced at his wife.
At that time, both of them had rice at home, and he almost forgot that there were sweet potatoes at home...
However, Lu Heng also knew that his wife wanted to live a low-key life.
Sure enough, his wife treated him as one of her own and did not hide anything from him, unlike the team leader and his friends, who regarded even the closest neighbors as outsiders.
Lu Heng was secretly happy, and tactfully handed the chopsticks to Qiao Qingqing.
Qiao Qingqing took it without looking at him and asked the captain, "Captain, where do all your fishing boats come from?"
When Zhou Aiguo heard this, he guessed that she wanted to build a boat.
"I'll ask my third uncle to do it, but he's old now and rarely helps people build fishing boats."
Qiao Qingqing knew "Third Uncle" and also knew that most of the fishing boats in the fishing village were made by Third Uncle.
She also knew that in addition to the "Third Uncle" in the fishing village, there was also a boatman in Hele Village who was as good as the Third Uncle.
This craftsman and my third uncle are brothers.
However, some conflicts in their youth caused them to have a grudge against each other and never contact each other again for the rest of their lives.
Qiao Qingqing didn't want to ask the people in Hele Village for help, so as not to give the Qiao family the opportunity to humiliate her.
Therefore, he had to ask the captain to persuade his uncle to help him build a boat.
"The price is negotiable. I just don't want to borrow a boat from someone every time." Qiao Qingqing said with a wry smile.
It's not that Zhou Aiguo didn't want to help, it's just that his third uncle was so old and hadn't made a boat for six years. What's more, the younger generations in his family were not very motivated and none of them inherited his third uncle's craft.
"I'll go ask for you. If that doesn't work, go look for it in another village."
Qiao Qingqing immediately expressed her gratitude.
After dinner, Zhou Aiguo and Zhou Jianbin went to prepare for the evening fishing activity and did not stay long.
It was Feng Xiumei who stayed behind to clean up the dishes.
Even though Qiao Qingqing repeatedly said no, she was very persistent.
Seeing Lu Heng washing dishes and pots skillfully, Feng Xiumei was amazed again.
She nudged Qiao Qingqing gently with her arm and whispered, "Qiao Zhiqing, were you like this when you were little?"
Qiao Qingqing followed her gaze and saw Lu Heng squatting beside a water tank washing dishes and pots.
"Yes, he cooks all the time and helps out, and he cleans up after we finish eating."
Because sometimes she has to go into the space to water the vegetables, and sometimes she has to clean up other things at home.
Anyway, I'm not idle.
Feng Xiumei immediately praised him: "Comrade Lu Heng is great! Wasn't his family well off before? And they live in Beijing. I thought he was the kind of person who would leave after eating, but I didn't expect he would be willing to do housework!"
Qiao Qingqing's heart moved slightly.
I had always considered Lu Heng as my partner, so I subconsciously thought it was normal for us to divide the work and work together.
But after what Aunt Xiumei said, she came back to reality: Yes, this is marriage, not business cooperation!
Think about Zhou Hongjun in the previous life...
What a scumbag!
Rubbish!
Stinky shit!
He is not even worthy of carrying Lu Heng's shoes!
