Chapter 372 No Time
There was no need to go back to the village to find her great-grandfather at night. Li Xiuxian could see him at school.
She stepped forward happily: "Grandpa, why are you in school?"
Great grandfather smiled and pointed to a classroom and said, "There is something to do."
Li Xiuxian thought that her great-grandfather came to help the school fix leaking tiles, repair doors and windows, etc.
Nowadays, teaching buildings are all bungalows. Every winter and summer vacation, the school will hire people to repair leaking tiles in the classrooms.
Although the winter vacation has not yet arrived, the classroom that my great-grandfather pointed to is idle and a bit far from the teaching classroom, so it will not affect the students' classes.
I guess the school is planning to repair it, maybe it will be of some use!
She smiled and said, "Grandpa, my family bought a new boat and we would like to ask you to help us go out to sea..."
The great grandfather waved his hand and said, "I'm busy! I'm at school..."
Li Xiuxian: "It's okay, you can help me after you finish your school work."
It only takes a few days to repair the leak.
The great grandfather smiled and waved his hands: "I'm really busy. I rented a classroom in your school to open a canteen!"
Li Xiuxian was stunned for a moment: "Opening a small shop? Was it Xiaoxia's idea?"
Great grandfather smiled and said, "Yes! It's a good thing that Xiao Xia showed me a way to make money."
Li Xiuxian: “…”
"Grandpa, do you really believe that you can make money by opening a canteen in school? How can a child have money?"
Great grandfather said as a matter of course: "Of course! If you don't believe me, why would I come here? Children are the regular customers of the canteen. Adults will definitely give them a penny or two to spend."
He didn't have any great abilities in his life, but after living for several decades, he summed up one experience: it won't be a bad idea to follow someone with abilities, and it won't be wrong to follow the right person!
Li Xiuxian: “…”
Why do so many people believe what Jiang Xia says?
At this time, the school bell rang, and my great grandfather said, "Go to class! I'll go clean up the room."
Great grandfather left with full of energy.
Jiang Xia not only showed them a way to make money, but also asked her father to help hire a lawyer to help him sign a contract with the school.
In addition to paying rent, he also gave the school 20% of the profits and promised to help the school clean the leaks for free during the winter and summer vacations, so the principal signed a 20-year contract with him.
He originally thought that the longest contract would be ten years, but he didn't expect it would be twenty years.
From now on until the day he dies, he won't have to worry about not having a job.
In addition to renting a classroom in the school, he also spent one thousand yuan to buy a bungalow near the school gate that looked like it was about to collapse. When he had more money in the future, he would tear it down and rebuild a shop.
Even if the school doesn't allow renting, I still have my own shop outside, so I can still do business.
Li Xiuxian watched her great grandfather walk towards the unused classroom in a hurry and pursed her lips: Opening a small shop? Aren't you afraid of losing everything?
However, does my great-grandfather’s family have enough money to open a convenience store?
Did Jiang Xia borrow the money or was it because even the great grandfather's family was richer than theirs? The former made Li Xiuxian angry, and the latter made her feel aggrieved.
All in all, I feel uncomfortable no matter how I think about it! *Today is another sunny day.
The Jiangxia couple started going out to sea at 6:30 and only started trawling after an hour and a half.
The net is raised every hour or so.
By twelve o'clock, Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei had already pulled three nets.
Each net weighs about three to four hundred kilograms.
Today, there were mainly small fish, and no large schools of fish were encountered.
Moreover, the three nets all caught common fish: sea bass, golden threadfish, oilfish, dragonfish, oilthorn fish, dogfish, skinned fish, sea wolffish, mackerel, etc.
Very diverse, with all kinds of fish! The three nets of fish weigh about 1,000 kilograms and can be sold for about 70 or 80 yuan.
Today’s harvest was a bit small, but it’s impossible to make a lot of money every day.
Jiang Xia sat and drove the boat.
Zhou Chenglei is dividing the fish.
Even though Zhou Chenglei was quick, after sorting them for a long time, there was still a lot left.
The fish is too mixed!
Fish like oilthorn and mudfish are smaller than Jiang Xia's palm. When they are mixed in with the miscellaneous fish, it takes a lot of effort to sort them out.
If you have less patience, you will want to throw all the fish back into the sea and pull them all out again! But Zhou Chenglei is not short of patience and his mood is stable.
Jiang Xia saw him using his hands and feet to sort out the big fish first and the smaller fish.
Now almost all that's left are oil thorns, mud crabs and shrimps.
It was noon, and fearing that Jiangxia would be hungry, he washed his hands and drove the boat to Abalone Island for docking.
After he moored the boat, he jumped overboard to pry some oysters himself.
Jiang Xia loves to eat it, but he hasn’t eaten it for a long time.
Zhou Chenglei pried back a box of oysters and was preparing to cook seafood noodles on the boat using a coal stove.
Zhou Chengxin also came over by boat.
Zhou Chenglei waited for their boat to come over before cooking the noodles, otherwise the boat would be too rocky.

After the two boats came together, Tian Caihua immediately jumped over to their boat and saw their boat full of fish and said enviously, "You caught so much in just one morning!"
She turned around and glanced at Zhou Chengxin, asking him to go out to sea with Jiang Xia and the others, but he still didn't listen!
Jiang Xia had already sat down to divide the fish. "It's OK, just some common small fish."
Zhou Chenglei cooked noodles and asked Tian Caihua: "Sister-in-law, have you eaten yet? I cooked noodles, do you want to eat?"
"I've eaten, but please leave an extra bowl of noodles for your brother and me! Eat something hot to warm up your body." Tian Caihua said as she sat next to Jiang Xia and helped divide the fish.
Zhou Chenglei didn't respond, but took an extra squid, a few shrimps and a few cuttlefish.
Zhou Chengxin asked Zhou Chenglei in the next boat: "Have you fed the fish?"
Zhou Chenglei: “Not yet.”
Zhou Chengxin heard this and said, "Then I'll go feed him!"
Zhou Chenglei: "No, I'll be there in a minute. Come here and help me divide the fish! We'll go down to the sea together and take some scallops back. I found a place with a lot of scallops yesterday."
"Okay!" Zhou Chengxin lowered the anchor and jumped over to help divide the fish.
When three people divided the fish, the process was much faster.
The noodles were just cooked and they were almost done dividing them.
Zhou Chenglei handed Jiang Xia a large enamel bowl of noodle soup, which had two poached eggs, two green vegetables, seafood covering the surface of the noodles, and peeled shrimps.
Tian Caihua held the noodles in her hands and took a sip of the hot soup. She felt better all over. "You guys know how to live and are not afraid of trouble."
She always brought her meals in an aluminum lunch box and warmed it up with hot water.
Zhou Chenglei didn't say anything. He only ate three meals a day. What was the trouble?
Jiang Xia now eats more than before. Everything he eats tastes delicious and he has a strong appetite.
She finished a whole bowl of noodles, whereas before she could only eat half of it.
Of course, she could only eat half of the noodles before, but she could still finish the seafood.
She is the kind of person who eats more vegetables and less staple food.
Zhou Chenglei asked her: "Do you want more?"
Jiang Xia wanted to eat more, but she shook her head: "I'm full. My stomach can't hold any more."
Zhou Chenglei noticed her greed and fed her a plump oyster: "Do you want another bite?"
Jiang Xia took a bite decisively.
Fresh! Sweet! Tian Caihua: "I guess the baby in your belly must be a son. I used to be able to eat so much, and everything tasted delicious."
Jiang Xia just smiled.
After eating, Zhou Chenglei washed the dishes, then carried Jiang Xia down to the beach and moved the lounge chair down so that she could lie down when she was tired.
Then he and Zhou Chengxin went on a boat to feed the fish.
Tian Caihua stayed on the beach with Jiang Xia.
