Chapter 144: Bringing Wealth

Jiang Dong's ears turned red. He pretended to raise his head to wipe the sweat off his face, pulled back his arm, and glanced around out of habit. He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that no one was looking at them.

Then he unnoticeably distanced himself from Ye Xian, keeping an arm's length away, to avoid getting too close and spreading a bad reputation. His father would break his legs if he found out.

Although they are so far apart, the possibility of his father knowing is small.

Ye Xian looked at Jiang Dong, who was deliberately keeping a certain distance, and didn't know whether to say he was naive and old-fashioned or that he had not yet awakened.

After being together for so long, he never took the initiative to hold her hand! But the more upright Jiang Dong was, the better Ye Xian thought of him, the more she thought he was worth entrusting her life to, and the more she wanted to win him over.

She knew that her family background was not good and Jiang's father didn't seem to like her very much. She was afraid that they would not be able to be together in the future and she was a little anxious.

Jiang Dong took Ye Xian to a restaurant for dinner first, and then went to the mall.

Ye Xian didn't want to go to the Friendship Store at all. She heard that the things there were very expensive.

She deliberately chose a restaurant that was closer to the department store. After dinner, she pointed to the department store in front and said, "Why don't we go to the department store first to look at the cameras there, and then go to the Friendship Store. When you buy a camera for Sister Jiang Xia, shouldn't you compare them carefully and choose a good one? You can't just pick one randomly, and sometimes the more expensive the better."

Jiang Dong thought so too, after all, he really didn't know much about cameras.

So Jiang Dong went shopping in two shopping malls, but did not buy a camera immediately. Instead, he took note of several cameras that he liked and planned to go back and ask his classmates which one was better. Some of his classmates also took pictures everywhere with a camera all day long.

He didn't buy a camera, but he bought a Snow Lotus cashmere sweater for Jiang Xia and Jiang's mother. Then he remembered that Jiang Xia liked to eat Shanghai Meilin's luncheon meat and read foreign novels, so he bought some snacks and a few English books.

Ye Xian saw that he bought two cashmere sweaters and so many food, and thought that the food and one of the cashmere sweaters were hers. As a result, he rushed over and mailed all the things to Jiang Xia while the post office was still a few minutes away from closing! Ye Xian was furious! Jiang Dong didn't think too much about it. After all, he took Ye Xian with him. When he went shopping, he also asked her if she wanted to buy anything. She said no, and bought it for his sister first, so he believed it.

Moreover, Jiang Dong thought that he and Ye Xian were both in Beijing and they saw each other every day. If she needed anything or wanted something, he could take her to buy it when he got the foreign exchange coupons. After they started dating, he paid for everything she bought when they went out together, so Jiang Dong really thought she didn't want to buy anything.

Jiang Dong is less than 20 years old now, and he still doesn't understand that women often say one thing and mean another. After all, he is the youngest in the family, and the two women in the family have been very kind to him since he was a child, always responding to his requests. How could they be hypocritical to him? The sapling in the greenhouse is talking about him, he is protected too well!

Of course, the most important point is that he had to save his money to buy a camera, and then he also had to invest money in his cooperation with classmates. After completing these two things, all his money was spent. Except for eating, he really had no money left.

School had just started, and the money earned from the store would not be distributed until the end of next month. He decided that from now on, except for eating, he would not spend a penny!

He had to eat separately from Ye Xian, otherwise sometimes Ye Xian would bring a few of her roommates along, and a meal would cost a few yuan at the least and more than ten yuan at the most. He could no longer afford it.

So after coming out of the post office, Ye Xian said she wanted to go to the mall to buy a skirt and high heels for a speech, but Jiang Dong refused and said he would buy them for her next month because he had no money.

Ye Xian was almost mad! ***Small fishing village

After Jiang Xia hung up the phone, he walked towards the pier.

Of course, she would not take advantage of Jiang Dong. She would give him the money for the camera when he came back. If he didn't want it, she would give it to him in other ways.

Jiang Xia arrived at the dock, and there were already two more fishing boats docked.

Jiang Xia took a look at the cargo on other people's boats. There were a lot of fish on everyone's boats today, mostly redfish. It was obvious that the impact of the typhoon was still there.

However, because there are too many redwood fish, the purchase price of redwood fish has dropped by another two cents today.

Someone saw Jiang Xia and ran over to ask, "Xiao Xia, do you still collect redwood fish?"

Jiang Xia took the opportunity to say, "I want to buy some too, because my mom's clothing factory cafeteria needs a batch of dried fish, but we bought too much yesterday, and I have no place to dry them today. I don't buy fresh redwood fish. If you have any dried fish, you can send them to my house. My family will buy dried fish all year round in the future."

At this time, another person came over and asked, "Xiao Xia, my family also caught a lot of redwood fish today. We took the redwood fish home to dry. Will you collect them when the time comes?"

Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Yes! There are so many workers in the garment factory, so they need to eat a lot of dried fish every day. The dried fish I dry at home are not enough to send to the garment factory. So not only redwood fish, but other dried fish that you dry can also be sold to me!"

"Okay, then I won't sell these redwood fish. I'll take them back to dry and sell them to you later! I also have some dried fish at home. Do you want some? If yes, I'll send them to you later."

"Then I won't sell the fish today. I'll dry it and sell it to you later!"

Jiang Xia smiled and replied, "Sure! You can send as many dried fish as you like."

At this time, women came to the dock one after another to wait for their fishing boats to return. After listening to the conversation between the three people, they all came over:

"You want dried fish? I have dozens of kilograms of them at home, do you want some, Xiao Xia?"

"Xiao Xia, I have some dried fish and barramundi at home, would you like some?"

"Xiao Xia, I have one at home too!"

Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Yes, but the dried fish must be fresh and dried well. It must not smell bad. If it's not fresh, we don't want it!"

When the villagers heard this, they immediately said, "The dried fish in our house is absolutely the best. They are all dried fresh fish. You can rest assured."

"Xiao Xia, I will pick the best for you and guarantee to give you the best!"

"Xiao Xia, you can rest assured. We are all from the same hometown. We won't sell you any bad ones. Your parents-in-law can tell whether the dried fish is good or not at a glance! We will give you the best dried fish."

"right,……"

…

Everyone was very happy to hear that Jiangxia was collecting miscellaneous dried fish, and they made sure to bring out the best dried fish.

Every family that has a boat out to sea has some dried fish, but people don’t like to eat it. Fresh fish can’t be eaten every day, so who wants to eat dried fish? Dried fish is only eaten on days when you don’t go out to sea.

Jiang Xia also took the opportunity to say that she would also buy fresh squid, yellow croaker and small fish like gonggan fish, so that everyone could send them to her house anytime they caught them in the future. She would buy as many as she could, squid, yellow croaker, and eel, no matter how big or small they were! For example, the purchase office would not buy squid and yellow croaker that were too small, after all, they were not easy to sell, so everyone could only take them home to eat, but every day when they went out to sea to fish, there would always be some very small fish that they could not eat. Now when they heard that Jiang Xia was buying them, they were all happy to say that they would send them over when the time came.

So when Zhou Chenglei came back from the sea, he saw Jiang Xia chatting and laughing with a group of women under a big banyan tree.

In the summer evening, the sun was still scorching, which inevitably made people irritable, but her smile was like a breeze, making everyone on the dock gentle.

At least, when Zhou Chenglei came back from the sea and saw her and her smile, all his fatigue disappeared.

Zhou's father also saw it and couldn't help but smile: Haha, as soon as I see everyone's prosperous faces, I know that his Wangcai must be making fortunes!
