Chapter 147 Talking about Partners
Jiang Xia was so tired that his back straightened and he lay on the bed, not wanting to move at all.
Zhou Chenglei felt distressed watching her, so he gave her a massage to relax her: "Why don't we stop doing this? It's too tiring."
Jiang Xia: "I plan to partner with someone and hire someone to do it, so I won't be so tired in the future."
"With Zhou Yongguo's wife?"
"How do you know?"
Zhou Chenglei: "She's the only one you know in the village."
My sister-in-law and she have different ideas and cannot work together.
Jiang Xia: “…”
That made so much sense, she was speechless to refute!
Jiang Xia had nothing to say. She turned her head, closed her eyes, and soon fell asleep under his gentle massage.
Zhou Chenglei looked at her who fell asleep in a second and felt a little distressed. He pressed her for a while before carefully turning her body over so that she didn't sleep on her stomach. Then he kissed her forehead and lay down to sleep.
Zhou Chenglei didn't wake up until five o'clock the next day. In the dim light, he glanced at his lover who was sleeping peacefully beside him, and gently kissed the top of her head.
She was probably too tired last night, so she didn't change her sleeping position and didn't even hug him.
He couldn't help but kiss the top of her head again, but he didn't dare to kiss other places for fear of waking her up. He just looked at her sleeping face for a while. His expression was gentle, the corners of his mouth were raised, and his eyes and eyebrows were smiling. He looked at her like this for half a minute, then kissed her again, tucked in the quilt, covered her abdomen, and then got up carefully.
I was very careful when getting dressed, not daring to make the slightest noise. Just like when performing a mission, I opened and closed the door without making any noise at all.
Jiang Xia was unaware of anything and did not wake up until half past six. Zhou Chenglei and his father had already gone out to sea. The whole family was awake and everyone was talking in a low voice for fear of waking her up.
When Zhou's mother saw her come out, she greeted her with a smile and relaxed her work.
Jiang Xia felt very embarrassed.
Li Xiuxian glanced at Jiang Xia and thought that she was destined to enjoy a good life. Her husband told everyone not to wake her up, and her mother-in-law prepared breakfast for her, including a sea cucumber every day. She was the only one in the family who had this.
Li Xiuxian wanted to bring Zhou's mother to live in the town. She had to go to classes every day, get up early to make breakfast, and make lunch and dinner when she got home from school. She also had to wash clothes and mop the floor at night.
If Zhou's mother were here, she wouldn't have to do housework.
Li Xiuxian couldn't help but said, "Mom, why don't you and Dad come back to live with us in town? If you go, I'll clean up the room. This old house is damp, and I'm afraid you and Dad can't stand living here for too long."
Jiang Xia raised an eyebrow while eating breakfast. Their things had been packed, and they had to go back to town at seven o'clock. They didn't say anything about it in the past few days, and only said it after the luggage was packed. It was obvious at a glance that they were not sincere, and they were just talking, or they were doing it on a whim for some purpose.
Jiang Xia didn't think too much about it, nor did he say anything.
Zhou Chengsen didn't think much about it. He took his parents to his side. He wanted to show his filial piety, so he said, "Yes, Mom, do you want to go to town and live with us?"
Mother Zhou picked a snakeskin bag of melons, vegetables and corn for them to take back to town to eat. She smiled and said, "No, your father and I are not used to living in town, and your father has to go out to sea again. Be careful on your way back and take these vegetables with you."
The younger son doesn’t have a house yet and hasn’t had a child yet. Zhou’s mother just wants to help her younger son, so that the couple can build a house as soon as possible and help them raise the child.
Zhou Chengsen didn't force it and said that his sincerity was not enough after they left. He said he would come back during the Mid-Autumn Festival and asked Zhou's mother to think about it carefully. Then he took his wife and daughter back to town. He had to go to work today and Zhou Ying would start school tomorrow.
After finishing her breakfast, Jiang Xia and her mother took out the redwood fish, abalone, and the small fish and miscellaneous fish from last night to dry in the sun, and then she went to her great-grandmother's house next door.
Grandma and her family were also helping them dry the redwood fish.
While drying the fish, Jiang Xia told He Xinghuan about her plan to work together to make some snacks.
My great-grandmother's family didn't have a boat, so the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law usually made money by weaving fishing nets at home, while Zhou Yongguo and my great-grandfather went out to help people build houses.
I can earn about one dollar a day by weaving fishing nets, and two dollars a day by helping people build houses.
But nowadays, few people can afford to build houses, so there is not much work to do in building houses every day.
Therefore, compared with families who had boats to go out to sea to fish, my great-grandmother's family was considered relatively poor in the village.
Therefore, Jiang Xia approached He Xinghuan and suggested that they work together to make some snacks. Both Grandma and He Xinghuan were very happy.
Jiang Xia smiled and said to He Xinghuan, "I really can't do it alone, so I plan to cooperate with you. I will teach you how to do it, and after you learn it, you can lead others to do it, and I will be responsible for selling it. Then we will split the profits in half. What do you think?"
When He Xinghuan heard that the money earned would be shared equally, she felt a little embarrassed, because she was only responsible for leading the people to do the work, and Jiang Xia could have asked her for help instead of looking for a partner.
"Xiao Xia, I just need to get the same salary as the hired person. You don't have to give me half of the money."
Grandma also heard that Jiang Xia was taking care of their family, and said, "Yes! Just take one salary, no need to split it in half!"
Jiang Xia wanted to help the great-grandmother's family, but she also wanted to make money, so she had her reasons for asking her to be a partner and split the money in half.
She is going to college next year, so this matter will basically depend on He Xinghuan.
If the money is divided too little or inappropriately, it will easily lead to conflicts in the long run.

She explained to the two of them: "I don't have much time to do this. In the future, you will be the only one who can lead the team to do this, including collecting the fish, drying the fish and making the finished products. I will only be responsible for the initial investment and selling them. So it would be best if we each split the money we earn in half, so that we can continue the cooperation in the long term."
He Xinghuan still felt that it didn't matter if they each took half, and she only needed to take one percent of the salary.
Jiang Xia said, "How about this! I'll take 50% of the profits, you 40%, and the remaining 10% will be given as a bonus to the hired workers. This way, more work, more pay, and everyone will be motivated to do it. If you still don't feel comfortable, I can only find someone else to partner with you."
Now that things have come to this, He Xinghuan couldn't refuse.
He Xinghuan did what she said and asked, "Should we start making the honey-sweet dried fish now?"
Jiang Xia: "The fish haven't been dried yet, so we can only cook them tonight. But you can sort out the dried fish I collected yesterday, and then I'll see which ones can be cooked."
So grandma and He Xinghuan took the dried fish home and divided them up.
Jiang Xia didn't share the money. She would pay them after they had divided it.
She also had to do translation, so she went back to do it.
Zhou's mother had just made fish cages at home according to Zhou Chenglei's request.
This fish cage has to be made very big and placed on the bottom of the sea to catch fish. It cannot be sold outside.
We need to build some cages with large holes to raise bigger fish, and also build some cages with small holes to raise smaller fish.
In the evening, Jiang Xia went to the dock to pick up the goods.
Then I saw Wen Wan buying dried fish, the price was two cents per pound higher than what she bought yesterday.
A group of women surrounded her, vying to sign the paper.
Wen Wan glanced at Jiang Xia and curled her lips. This morning, Zhou Guohua and Zhou Bingqiang asked the production team and learned that if they wanted to rent the sea area, they had to go to the Municipal Maritime Affairs Bureau, so they went to the Municipal Maritime Affairs Bureau immediately.
She also knew that Zhou Chenglei had gone out to sea as usual this morning! Haha, the sea area has been rented out in advance!
The title was wrong. When I realized it was wrong, my hands were faster than my eyes and I published it!
It should be about partnership.
The title is locked, I can't change it even if I want to (/ω＼), I have to find an editor
