Chapter 495 Don’t

Father Zhou handed the bag to Zhou Chenglei: "This is the money for this voyage."

Zhou Chenglei took it.

Father Zhou raised a finger and said with a smile: "This time it finally broke ten."

After deducting labor and costs, it just broke ten, with an extra eight hundred.

It was worth it that he took many photos of Wangwang to attract wealth! This time when he went out to sea, he took several photos of Wangcai showing his pregnancy and pasted them on all sides of the boat.

Meet wealth and attract wealth!

Big money, small money, mini money, huge money, all kinds of money are attracted!

Jiang Xia smiled and said, "It seems that Dad's shipping is good this year. He made a fortune in the first net of the new year."

Father Zhou said excitedly, "It's the spring flood season, so we caught more. And it's not that I'm lucky, it's that you and your wife are lucky and know more."

One is good at bringing fortune to her husband, and the other is familiar with the sea and the fishing grounds.

You will know when to go to which sea area where there are more fish.

Before departure, the youngest son told him not to go so far this time, but to go north to the waters of the neighboring province.

There is an area of ​​sea there where there is the spring flood of shrimps from March to April.

Shrimps have always been a relatively expensive item. This time, I made more than 30,000 yuan just by catching prawns.

In addition, in spring, many fish will form fishing seasons in specific sea areas.

Father Zhou sailed according to the route given by Zhou Chenglei, trawling the net along the way.

It started with trawling during the day and using lights to lure the squid at night.

However, when Zhou's father used lights to lure squids, he did not just bring a few light bulbs like Zhou Chenglei did. He hung light bulbs all around the big boat.

First use a strong light to lure the squids over, then gradually dim the light, leaving only one or two lights to let the squids gather around the boat before pulling up the net.

The amount of squid caught in one fishing trip was much greater than that caught by Zhou Chenglei's small boat.

I sold squid for more than 30,000 yuan.

Shrimp and squid are both good value.

Later, they arrived at another sea area where there were no more squids, so they trawled during the day and used light nets to catch mullets at night.

This time when going out to sea, Zhou's father felt as if his fishing boat was surrounded by fish.

The fish finder showed that there were fish everywhere! There were schools of fish everywhere.

You want to split your fishing boat into eight or ten small boats and go in all directions! In the end, you can only choose the largest school of fish, the closest school of fish, and give up the others, or those farther away.

Of course, it’s a bit of an exaggeration to say there are fish everywhere, but there are really a lot of fish.

Zhou Chenglei took it and opened the luggage bag, revealing stacks of big unity bills. He planned to give 20,000 to his father.

Father Zhou waved his hand and said, "No, no need to give it to me! I've already taken my share! I'll make it a whole for you. You can keep it to pay the balance for the boat, or use it to install those cages."

Zhou's father did take it, eight hundred yuan.

During the Chinese New Year, the couple gave him and his wife 10,000 yuan. It was too much money and they had no place to spend it. Now the two old people feel that they can never spend all the money in their lifetime.

Jiang Xia: "Don't worry, Dad. We have already prepared the money for the cages. We also have the balance for the boat. It must be enough. You can take it! We make money by going out to sea with you and the big boat. You work so hard, how can you not take the money?"

"I've already taken my share, the rest is yours! You can use it to buy one or two more boats! I saw others use two fishing boats to purse seine tuna, that fish is valuable. They make more money in one purse than we make in a month!"

The ship was also big, and Zhou's father was extremely envious when he saw it!

I just hope that my son can have two fishing boats as big as this in the future.

Let him show off a bit! Jiang Xia guessed that Zhou's father was talking about the tuna purse seine fishing boat.

"I'm going downstairs to sleep. You guys should go to bed early too." Father Zhou pushed away the large bundle of money that Zhou Chenglei handed over and left.

Father Zhou was really tired. He had been out to sea for almost twenty days and was exhausted like a dog every day.

Although he was very tired, he would not have wanted to come back if Qingming Festival was not approaching.

Not only did he not want to come back, but others also did not want to come back at this time.

It is so rare to see so many fish that I wish I could live in the sea forever.

It feels so good to see big bags of fish filling up the deck every day.

Even if the weather is bad sometimes, with strong winds and rain, biting sea breezes, and icy rain hitting faces, it can't affect everyone's enthusiasm for trawling, pulling up the nets, and dividing the fish.

However, there is no end to making money and catching all fish. Zhou's father had promised to go home during the Qingming Festival, but suddenly he did not return. He was afraid that his family would worry, and he had no way to notify them while he was at sea, so he simply returned.

Seeing that Zhou's father refused to accept the money, Jiang Xia said to Zhou Chenglei, "Save the money you gave to Dad and buy him something later. Or when you save more, when there are houses or shops for sale in town, buy a shop or house for him and Mom. When the two old people can no longer work, you can collect rent."

Jiang Xia thought about how Zhou's father would go out to collect rent every day with a bunch of keys hanging from his waist, and it felt pretty good.

"good."

After Zhou's father went downstairs, Li Xiuxian came out and saw him empty-handed. She was shocked: Could Jiang Xia and his wife really not give Zhou's father a little money? This was too much! She deliberately asked, "Dad, why are you still up so late?"

Father Zhou smiled and said, "Yes, go up and see if Zhou Zhou and Yingying kicked the quilt. I've already checked. You don't have to go and go to bed early!"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Father Zhou really went up to the third floor to take a look.

Li Xiuxian smiled and said, "Okay."

He was clearly going to give money to his youngest son, saying that he was going to see Zhou Zhou and Yingying.

At this time, Zhou's mother also came in carrying a thermos and a bowl of scallop, lean meat and yam porridge.

Li Xiuxian looked at the bowl of porridge. It had meat, shrimp, scallops, and yam. It smelled delicious and looked tempting. She asked, "Mom, do you have a midnight snack?"

"There's yam porridge in the pot on the coal stove. If you're hungry, go and have some. I thought you were asleep, so I didn't make more scallop and lean meat porridge. The shrimps are leftover from tonight, so I peeled them and threw them into the porridge to avoid wasting them."

Zhou's mother cooked a big pot of yam porridge and also prepared porridge for the next day's breakfast.

Tomorrow, add some scallops and lean meat and boil them for a while, and the porridge will be very sweet.

If you put the meat and scallops in the evening and soak them overnight, the meat will become tough and the scallops will break into pieces, and they will not taste good.

Jiangxia's porridge is made by cooking a large pot of porridge, then putting a little more porridge in a casserole and adding lean meat and scallops.

Mother Zhou then explained, "Xiao Xia's belly is too big and she can't eat much at each meal. I make some porridge for her and let her eat before going to bed and when she gets up in the middle of the night. Otherwise, she eats alone and there are four people to feed her. I'm afraid the baby won't get enough nutrition and will be too small when it's born."

It is difficult to raise a child who is born too small.

Zhou's mother gave birth to seven children in total, so she knew it best.

She was afraid that her second daughter-in-law would be unhappy, so she explained a little more: "Usually Zhou Chenglei cooks for Xiaoxia. Today he spent the whole afternoon moving dried fish back and forth, so I cooked for Xiaoxia."

Fortunately, when my eldest and second daughters-in-law were pregnant, she gave all the good things in the house to them.

She didn't ask them to do any hard housework.

Now her daughter-in-law eats well, which is also earned by the couple themselves. Although Zhou's mother feels a little guilty, she has a clear conscience.

In fact, Jiang Xia is more considerate than the other two daughters-in-law.

Father Zhou: "I'm not hungry. There were so many dishes for dinner. I ate too much. Now my stomach is still bloated. Xiaoxia ate the least at dinner. You give it to her!"

After saying that, Zhou's father went back to his room.

Li Xiuxian smiled stiffly: "I'm not hungry either."

Father Zhou said that Jiang Xia ate the least, as if she ate a lot! How could she still eat? Li Xiuxian also returned to her room.

Returning to the room, she looked at Zhou Chengsen who was sleeping soundly. She climbed onto the bed and couldn't help but pull open his quilt, pushed him, then covered herself with her own quilt and lay down with her back to him.

Zhou Chengsen was pushed awake. He opened his eyes and looked at her, but was too lazy to pay attention to her. He covered himself with the quilt, turned over with his back to her, and continued to sleep.

The next day was Qingming Festival, and Jiang Xia had a big belly, so he didn't go up the mountain.
