Chapter 260 I'm Full of Anger

The dinner was very sumptuous, with soy sauce chicken, pan-fried cod, pan-fried saury, boiled shrimp, spicy crab, braised eel, steamed egg with sea urchin, steamed sea bream, stir-fried baby squid with pepper, boiled duck, spicy and sour shredded potatoes, stir-fried pumpkin with beans, and an old duck soup.

The cod, saury, shrimp, crab and eel were all brought back by Zhou's father, and the chicken and duck were from his great-grandmother's house.

Because Zhou Yongguo and his father had gone out to sea together, they all came back together, and the relationship between the two families had always been so good, so they simply had dinner together.

Almost all the dishes on this table were made by He Xinghuan and great-grandmother. After Zhou's mother and Tian Caihua washed all the ingredients, they had enough time to go to the dock to pick up the goods, so they took on the responsibility of cooking.

He Xinghuan and Jiang Xia have cooked together many times, and their cooking skills have improved a lot.

Now that the family has more money, she and Jiang Xia can earn several hundred to nearly a thousand yuan every month by selling small fish.

Zhou Yongguo earned more than 3,000 yuan after two long sea voyages.

My father-in-law can also make money by helping the Zhou family build a house.

Now that life is better and we have more money, we are willing to spend more on food and use more oil and seasoning when cooking. The dishes on the table are delicious and attractive!

The Tian family was not rich, and Tian Caixing rarely had such a sumptuous meal at home.

No, it should be said that it has never been so sumptuous, not even during the Chinese New Year! Seeing so many dishes, he asked Zhou Chenglei: "A Lei, where is the wine? No wine?"

Zhou Chenglei picked up a piece of cod for Jiang Xia and said, "No." Without even raising his head, he said, "No."

Tian Caixing doesn't have any bad habits, he just likes to drink, but his alcohol tolerance is poor and his drinking manners are even worse. After drinking a few glasses, he dares to say anything, and his words are unpleasant.

Zhou Chenglei had seen this once before, so he would never allow him to drink in his home!

Tian Caixing pushed his brother-in-law and said, "Ah Xin, why don't you go to the store and buy a bottle of wine? How can we have so many dishes without wine?"

"I..." Zhou Yongguo wanted to say that he had some wine at home and he would go get it. But his grandmother and He Xinghuan stepped on his feet from the left and right, and he stopped talking.

Or rather, I'm speechless!

It hurts!

Both feet hurt! Did his wife and mother have to be so strong? They have such a tacit understanding? Tian Caihua knew that her elder brother would easily talk nonsense when he drank, and he would want to offend the whole world when he drank.

Because her parents and sister-in-law had no idea how many times they had argued with him about this, so she hurriedly said, "It's so late, why are you drinking? Axin, we still have to go out to sea tomorrow! Let's finish eating early and go home to bed early."

Zhou's mother also laughed and said, "Yes, we are going out to sea tomorrow, so it's not a good time to drink. We have to get up and go out to sea before the alcohol has even worn off! This won't do! We can treat my uncle to a drink another day when we don't have to go out to sea."

Now that things have come to this, and no one has come to buy wine, what else can Tian Caixing say? He pursed his lips: You don't even know how to entertain guests! You don't even know how to prepare wine.

He picked up a piece of golden fried cod, took a bite, and changed the subject: "Did my father-in-law bring this fish back from the distant sea? It's delicious!"

Father Zhou said with a smile: "If it tastes good, eat more. Don't blame me for not having enough wine!"

Tian Caixing said as he ate, "I understand. We have to go out to sea tomorrow! Making money is important!"

There is food in my mouth and my speech is not clear.

Father Zhou smiled and said, “Yes, it’s not easy to support a family. Everyone has to run around for three meals a day.”

Tian Caixing: "You have two boats and you still say it's not easy? You build houses one after another and buy boats one after another. Is that not easy? Our family has a hard time! My six brothers still live together in a mud house! You are not like me, you are preparing to build a two- or three-story building! I still have three younger brothers who are not married yet. They are just waiting to make money to build a house and get married."

Father Zhou smiled and said, "As long as we have hands and feet, brothers and husbands work together, and everyone works hard, we will have a house sooner or later."

"My father-in-law is right! As long as brothers and sisters work together, we will be able to earn enough money to build a big house sooner or later! I heard that people who go fishing in the open sea can make tens of thousands of dollars at a time. Is that true?"

Tian Caihua also looked at Zhou's father after hearing this. She wanted to know how much money Zhou's father made on this voyage! Zhou's father smiled and avoided the question: "It's hard to say. It depends on luck. Every time you go to sea, it's different for everyone. Some people make tens of thousands, some make thousands, and some can't even make back the gas money."

He was different. He took Wangcai's photo with him when he went out to the sea. If he didn't see any fish for half a day, he would take the photo and walk around.

Drive in the direction the photo points to!

You will definitely encounter a school of fish or a big fish, and it works every time! So this time he made 56,666 yuan!

And this is the net profit after deducting wages, bonuses and fuel costs!

Everyone's salary plus bonus was 2,000 yuan each, so more than 10,000 yuan in salary was paid out, and gas bonus was increased by more than 9,000 yuan.

Haha, that’s awesome!

When selling fish to the fishing boat, the owner of another larger boat said that he had only earned more than 5,000 yuan after drifting at sea for more than half a month! When the other party saw that he sold a boat for several thousand yuan, he turned around and followed their boat to trawl.

So how can anyone know how much money you make?

You can show off when you have small amounts of money, but you have to hide it when you have big amounts!

How could I tell Tian Caixing?

Tian Caixing asked again, "A few thousand is a lot! Uncle, you need to rest for a few days after your long voyage, right? When do you plan to go out to sea again?"

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Father Zhou smiled and said, "You need to rest for a few days, maybe five to seven days!"

It is not easy for the boatmen to go out to sea as the risks are great and they cannot take care of anything at home, so they have to rest for at least five days after each trip, so they can rest for about ten days a month.

This way we earn more money, have more holidays, and everyone is happy.

People who are in the same boat should go out happily and come back happily.

When Tian Caixing heard that he would have to rest for so many days, he immediately said, "Father, please lend me the big boat for five days! I'll ask a few of my brothers to go out to sea for a few days, so that we can earn some money to build a house and get married!"

Zhou's father's smile froze on his face.

Tian Caihua covered her face. Why didn't her elder brother give up? Didn't she tell him about the seriousness of the matter? She hurriedly said, "Brother, don't talk nonsense. Can you drive a big boat?"

"Don't worry about that. If I can't drive, there will be someone who can! Father-in-law, I know boats are not easily lent out. But I am Axin's eldest brother. My family married such a hardworking sister to your family and treated you as our own parents. We are all a family, right? Can I borrow the boat for use?"

Father Zhou laughed and said, "This is really inconvenient. This boat belongs to A-lei, and A-lei has other plans!"

Tian Caixing looked at Zhou Chenglei and said, "Ah Lei, Ah Hua married you when you were thirteen or fourteen, and raised you like a son. As the old saying goes, an elder sister-in-law is like a mother. Is Ah Hua your elder sister-in-law? Am I your elder uncle? Can you lend me the boat for a few days?"

Zhou Chenglei: "Well, no."

Tian Caixing smiled and said, "I knew A-lei would borrow... No, what did you just say?"

Did he hear it wrong? Zhou Chenglei peeled a shrimp for Jiang Xia, put it in her bowl, and repeated in a calm tone: "No."

Jiang Xia put a piece of black sea bream belly meat in his bowl. He liked to eat fish belly meat.

Tian Caixing: “…”

"No, A'lei, I'm your uncle. Your boat is parked there and it's not moving. Why don't you lend it to me?"

Zhou Chenglei peeled another shrimp and put it in Zhou Zhou's bowl: "It's my boat. If I want to borrow it, I can borrow it. If I don't want to borrow it, I don't have to borrow it. There's no need to ask why."

Tian Caixing: “…”

In the end, Tian Caixing left the Zhou family's old house with a dark face! He didn't eat much of such a good meal, and he was full of anger!
