Chapter 170 You’re kidding!

Tian Caihua ran under the big boat and reached out to touch here and there.

This boat is really big! So majestic! Tian Caihua touched the bottom of the boat, then went up to touch the east and west of the boat, with the corners of her mouth raised and smiling.

Haha...her family also has a large ocean-going ship.

He is also a big shot in the fishing world.

Tian Caihua: Most of the families who have big boats nowadays are bought by several good brothers together. Now their family has split up. I don't know how to count this boat. Should the second brother be counted as a share? Tian Caihua has no doubt that this boat was not ordered before the split up.

If they had ordered it after the separation, how could such a large ship be delivered so quickly? It would take at least a year or two! She still knew this common sense.

Tian Caihua asked Zhou's mother: "Mom, our family bought a big boat. Shall we have dinner together tonight to celebrate?"

Zhou's mother was also surrounded by people. After hearing what Tian Caihua said, she smiled and replied, "Yes, let's have dinner together tonight. Invite A Guang and his brothers to come to the old house for dinner."

They hadn't had lunch yet, but it didn't matter if they skipped a meal, and there were many snacks at home. She had steamed steamed cakes and corn in the pot, and boiled eggs, so whoever was hungry could just take some food from the pot.

Tian Caihua smiled and said, "Then I'll go to the vegetable garden and pick some vegetables!"

Mother Zhou couldn't leave for the moment, so she smiled and said, "Okay, I'll be back in a bit, the meat and vegetables are ready."

"Okay." Tian Caihua responded with a smile. She looked around and found Jiang Xia holding a camera and taking pictures of Zhou Zhou, Zhou Jie and Guangzong Yaozu.

Tian Caihua didn't care that Jiang Xia was busy playing and not working. She ran quickly to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables.

I ran to the roadside and saw someone selling popsicles, so I bought two-cent popsicles for a few kids. Jiang Xia got some too!

The kids were so happy! Guang Zongyaozu looked at each other and saw the words "What the hell is wrong with you" in each other's eyes.

Jiang Xia was also surprised and subconsciously refused. Tian Caihua smiled and stuffed it into her hand: "Eat it! Why are you being polite?"

Then she ran away happily! On the way, she met a pork seller who was coming into the village. There were only ribs left, so she generously spent ten dollars to buy all the remaining ribs.

Maybe because the village was busy today, someone came into the village to sell watermelons, and she bought another big watermelon.

In the future, her family will own a large ocean-going ship, so she is willing to spend this little money.

Tian Caihua was holding a big watermelon, carrying a fan of pork ribs, and humming a tuneless song as she went to the vegetable garden.

Jiang Xia walked towards Zhou Chengxin with a popsicle.

Zhou Chenglei and Zhou Chengxin picked the fish and took them to the purchasing office to sell them. They sold 3,500 kilograms of yellow croaker at 1.30 yuan per kilogram, for a total of 4,550 yuan.

If we hadn't given away more than 200 kilograms of fish, we would have kept a basket at home and could have sold it for more money.

Mr. Jin from the purchasing department was holding a black bag filled with big unity and said with a smile: "Great! You bought a big boat without making any noise! ​​From now on, the fish caught by the whole village will not be enough for you. You have almost emptied the money in my drawer."

Zhou Chenglei just smiled and explained briefly: "I got a great bargain because someone else returned the product. Otherwise, I couldn't afford it."

Zhou Chenglei and Zhou Chengxin exchanged a few more pleasantries with each other before leaving the purchasing office with several large stacks of Da Tuanjie.

Jiang Xia came up to the two men and handed the popsicle to Zhou Chengxin: "Brother, have a popsicle to cool down."

Zhou Chenglei: “…”

He couldn't help but glance at Jiang Xia! Seeing his fourth brother's resentful eyes, Zhou Chengxin took it with a smile and took a bite: "Thank you, Xiaoxia, it's so sweet!"

Zhou Chenglei: “!”

Jiang Xia said with a smile: "My sister-in-law bought it for my brother."

Zhou Chenglei's expression returned to normal and he took her hand: "Go home?"

Around two in the afternoon, when the sun was at its hottest, she was so hot that her clothes were wet on the chest and back. Fortunately, the clothes were dark and impermeable.

"Okay. Let's go back and see how the foundation is going." Jiang Xia really couldn't stand the heat. She took a look and saw that Zhou's father was still on the boat taking the villagers to visit the new ship, explaining the configuration of the big ship with saliva flying all over the place.

Zhou's mother was also the center of attention.

They are very excited now and probably won't go home for a while.

Zhou Chenglei helped her adjust her straw hat, wiped the sweat off her forehead, and replied, "Yeah."

Jiang Xia then told Guangzongyaozu and his brothers to take good care of Zhou Zhou and Zhou Jie and not to go playing in the sea. Then the couple and Zhou Chengxin pushed a basket of fish and two boxes of fruits and offerings sent by Director Zhou back home.

When the three of them returned home, they saw their great-grandmother sitting outside the courtyard gate distributing dried fish.

On the residential land opposite, my great-grandfather and his workers were working hard. A circle of foundation had been dug out of the originally flat residential land, through which the layout of the house could be seen.

There was a lot of excavated yellow soil piled on the ground.

Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei both saw that the foundation of the residential land next to them was also being dug, but neither of them said anything.

Both of them are extremely rational and mentally strong people who will not be influenced by outsiders.

Zhou Chengxin couldn't help but say, "Uncle Qiang's family is also starting to build a house today? Will Dad be furious when he comes back and sees this?"

Jiang Xia smiled: "Why not make the other party mad? I think Dad will be very happy in the future."

After all, he won’t have to go too far to find Zhou Bingqiang from now on.

Zhou Chengxin was stunned for a moment, then he understood and smiled: "Xiao Xia is right!"

In the past, Zhou Bingqiang always showed off in front of his father because of how much money he made, and his father would hide when he saw Uncle Qiang.

Now that the fourth brother has a large ocean-going ship, what he earns from one trip to the sea may be equal to what Zhou Bingqiang earns from ten days at sea. His father will definitely go to Zhou Bingqiang to show off every day!

When the grandmother saw them coming back, she smiled and said, "You're back? Is the boat big?"

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Jiang Xia smiled and said, "It's bigger than before, Grandma. You can go and have a look when the sun goes down."

Grandma put down the dried fish in the dustpan, stood up, and said with a smile: "Of course, I will go and have a look later. I cooked green bean porridge and cooled it with well water. You can drink some to cool off."

As she spoke, she went into the house and served three bowls of mung bean porridge to the three of them, and also brought them a plate of golden fried sweet potato cakes.

It’s hot in the summer at noon, and sometimes I can’t eat, so I cook some mung bean porridge to clear away heat and relieve summer heat.

Jiang Xia first went into the yard to wash his hands and face, then he walked out with a bowl of mung bean soup and sat on the stone outside the gate. He held the bowl of mung bean soup in one hand and a piece of sweet potato cake in the other, and started eating, taking a sip of mung bean soup and a bite of sweet potato cake.

She looked at the homestead next to her and asked, "Grandma, is my mom angry today?"

Grandma told Jiang Xia about the lion dance with a smile.

Jiang Xia couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

Jiang Xia ate a bowl of mung bean soup, a piece of sweet potato cake, a corn that Zhou Chenglei had peeled for her, and two eggs, and then she was full.

Just after finishing the meal, Tian Caihua came over with a big watermelon, a slab of pork ribs, and a large basket of vegetables, which stunned Jiang Xia.

Tian Caihua said happily: "Xiao Xia, Mom said we should have dinner together tonight to celebrate, so I picked some vegetables and came to cook."

After eating, Zhou Chengxin went to help dig the foundation. He was surprised to see what his wife was holding in her hand, and then he felt that she had finally made sense for once.

Jiang Xia felt that Tian Caihua must have misunderstood. She smiled and said okay, and asked her grandmother and her family to come over for dinner tonight, then went back to cook.

Grandma came over to help with the fire.

Today, she killed two chickens for a sacrifice and bought ten pounds of roast pork. She soaked some abalone before going to bed last night, and brought back a basket of yellow croaker from the sea today, intending to share them with the workers who were building the house and for her own consumption.

Jiang Xia thought about the dishes and felt that there were not enough meat dishes, so he asked Zhou Chenglei to wait for the fishing boat to dock and then go buy more seafood.

Zhou Chenglei was digging the foundation with a shovel when he responded.

But not long after, Zhou's mother came home carrying a large bucket of seafood.

The dinner was particularly rich. Jiang Xia was the chef and the others helped. They made braised chicken with abalone, pan-fried golden oysters, blanched prawns, stir-fried pork with chili peppers, stir-fried leeks with dried shrimps and small fish, pickled fish, shrimps with garlic, steamed scallops with vermicelli, braised spare ribs, steamed melon with garlic, stir-fried water spinach, cold cucumber salad, and a winter melon, seaweed and egg drop soup.

After the three families happily finished their meal, Zhou Chenglei asked Zhou Yongguo to go out to sea with the big ship tomorrow.

Tomorrow Zhou Chenglei plans to put two large cages on the seabed and try to raise fish. He will wait for his comrades to arrive in two days before going out to the open sea.

Zhou Yongguo agreed with a smile.

Tian Caihua took the opportunity to ask with a smile: "How will the big and small boats be driven in turn in the future? Will the fourth brother and Chengxin brothers take turns to go out to sea? Or will the three of us, father and son, take turns to go out to sea?"

After hearing this, the whole family looked at her.

Zhou Chengxin looked at her and said, "Alei bought the big boat himself, why does he have to take turns with me?"

Tian Caihua looked at Zhou Chengxin in disbelief: "How could A Lei buy the big boat by himself? Do you think I don't know how long it takes to order a big boat? How long have we been separated? It's only been about three months. It's hard to get a small boat back so quickly, let alone such a big boat."

You’re kidding!
