Chapter 551 The New Ship Returns

"How big a fishing boat did your brother-in-law order? Did he really order another large fishing boat that is about the same size as the current one?"

Without Jiang Xia, Tian Caihua could no longer keep her mouth shut, "Xiao Xia, you're too modest! It's definitely not just a little bit bigger! It's more than half a size bigger! It's a large fishing boat over 60 meters long! The kind of large fishing boat that can go out to sea to fish without coming home for a year or two."

The air suddenly became quiet! Sixty meters, longer than their house and yard combined!

"You're not going to brag, are you?"

"Why would I brag? A-lei not only ordered a large fishing boat, but also a 10,000-ton cargo ship, a 10,000-ton cargo ship that can sail across the ocean! Our dock can't even accommodate cargo ships."

"Ten thousand ton cargo ships? Those ten thousand ton cargo ships that cost tens of thousands of dollars to fill up with gas?"

Tian Caihua had no idea how much a full tank of gas would cost, but she still said, "Yes! That's the kind, and it's a 20,000-ton cargo ship! Only foreign tycoons order the kind!"

Everyone: “…”

"Do you know how my brother-in-law can afford such a big ship? How does he make money?" Someone couldn't help but sigh.

We all go fishing together, why is there such a big gap?

Tian Caihua: "Of course I know, marry a daughter-in-law who brings good fortune to the husband and family! It's all Xiao Xia's!"

Even her family became prosperous! Everyone: "..."

*Before dawn the next day, Zhou's father and mother got up to prepare offerings to the gods for the launching of the new boat.

Zhou Chenglei also got up early to help.

Jiang Xia slept until about half past six.

The three children have regular schedules and must wake up between 6 and 6:30 every morning, so she also wakes up at this time.

Zhou Chenglei looked at the time and went back upstairs to help change diapers, prepare milk powder, and feed the baby.

Zhou Chenglei held the bottle to feed his sister: "Today, only you and mom are at home. If you are too busy, call grandma to help. Sister-in-law should also come."

"Okay, I know. Three kids are easy to take care of. I won't be too busy. Don't worry."

Jiang Xia fed his younger brother while holding his older brother's hand to tease him.

My brother has a really good temper. He won't cry when there are people around him. He usually won't cry unless his diaper is dirty, he's very hungry or he's very sleepy.

Of course, the premise is that the younger brothers and sisters don’t cry.

He would cry only when the two little ones started crying, but he would not cry either when the two little ones stopped crying.

Zhou Chenglei didn't say anything else. It was indeed easier to take care of three children, probably because they had company.

My previous nephews and nieces were not so easy to take care of.

After the couple fed the child, they carried the child downstairs.

Father Zhou immediately stepped forward and picked up the three little Wangcais one by one: "Grandpa and your father are going to the shipyard to drive a big ship. We will take you on the big ship to have a look when we come back."

Mother Zhou reached out to hold her granddaughter in his arms and urged, "Okay, it's past seven o'clock, let's go!"

After Zhou's father held the three little Wangcais, he felt extremely lucky: "Let's go!"

Send! Send! Send! We will receive two boats this year and four boats next year!

Otherwise, there won’t be enough for the three little Wangwangs to share!

In the future, it would be fair for everyone to have a large fishing boat and a cargo ship, right? Father Zhou put the big firecrackers in the car, and then thought of something and asked, "Did you bring your camera?"

Zhou Chenglei: “I brought it.”

Father Zhou asked again: "Do you have enough film?"

"Enough, there are two volumes."

Father Zhou got on the passenger seat with relief.

Zhou Chengxin and Zhou Chengsen also got into the car and it drove away.

Jiang Xia put the three children in a stroller and pushed them into the yard to bask in the sun.

She pulled up the awning on the stroller to keep the sun out of their eyes and lowered the mosquito net.

There are more mosquitoes in the yard in summer, and they especially like to bite the triplets.

Yesterday, my little brother was bitten on the face while he was taking a nap, and a big, red, swollen bump appeared.

Zhou Zhou and Zhou Ying were playing shuttlecock in the yard for their younger siblings to watch.

After settling the triplets, Jiang Xia and Zhou's mother prepared the offerings for worshiping the gods. In fact, everything was almost ready, and they just needed to cook the chicken, fish, shrimp and meat.

Zhou's mother also has to feed the chickens and then go to the vegetable garden to water the vegetables. She is especially busy in the morning.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

When Jiang Xia was steaming chicken in the kitchen, he suddenly heard a voice on the radio: "Dear villagers, please listen carefully. Our township has received instructions to start paying patriotic grain and purchasing grain from tomorrow. Please prepare the rice in advance and pay per mu of land according to the instructions of the superiors..."

It was a very long speech, which not only promoted the patriotic act of paying public grain and the consequences of not paying public grain, but also reminded everyone to prepare the rice. The rice must be dried sufficiently, without shriveled husks or broken stems and leaves, and that inferior products should not be passed off as good ones.

Mother Zhou: "I'll go upstairs to dry the rice some more."

When the family was harvesting the early rice, Jiang Xia was in confinement after giving birth. Zhou Chengsen and Zhou Chengxin helped with all the work, including harvesting rice and planting rice seedlings. Of course, they also hired other people.

But we can't hire anyone to dry and harvest the rice, so they help with that.

After returning, Zhou's mother didn't take care of the rice. She didn't know whether it was dry enough or whether it had gotten damp.

The rice used for public tax payment must be extremely dry, and each grain must be full, without impurities such as broken leaves, because if the moisture and impurities exceed the standard, the weight will be deducted.

Jiang Xia didn't understand this: "Mom, how much public grain do we have to pay?"

"We have a lot of land, and we have to pay 3,000 kilograms of grain including the state-purchased grain."

Jiang Xia was surprised: "So many?"

Zhou's mother explained, "We pay the public grain from both seasons together. The rice from the early rice is not as fragrant as the rice from the late rice, and the late rice tastes good, so our family usually pays the public grain from the autumn harvest together with the summer harvest. This way we can keep the rice from the late rice for our own consumption."

Jiang Xia: "Will the rice harvested in summer be enough to last for a year?"

"It depends on the harvest. Sometimes it's enough, sometimes not. When the harvest is small, it's not enough. Because before the family split up, there were more boys in the family and they ate a lot, so it was a little bit insufficient. If it wasn't enough, we would make sweet potato rice and mix it with the others, and it would definitely be enough. Your eldest brother eats the most sweet potato rice, and he hates it the most, saying that he hates the smell. But when serving the rice, his own bowl has the most sweet potatoes."

Now that the family has split up, there is no need to worry about not having enough food. First, we earn more money, and if it is not enough, we can buy rice. But also, there are not many people in the family after the split up, and the three grandsons are not grown up yet, so there is definitely enough food.

The harvest of the old family might not be enough, and the little boy would eat the old man out of money. But now they have money to buy, so Zhou's mother is not worried anymore.

Jiang Xia understood why Zhou Chengxin ate the most sweet potato rice. Because Zhou Chenglei went to the army, Zhou Chengsen went to college, and later ate government food. Zhou Chengxin was the one who stayed at home and did most of the farm work.

As a son, a husband, and a father, he always saves the good things for his elders and his children.

*At around eleven o'clock in the morning, the new ship returned to the dock.

Zhou Chenglei drove back in a jeep to pick up Jiang Xia and Zhou's mother.

Tian Caihua and several of his brothers, Guangzongyaozu, also came over. The family loaded the offerings into the car and then drove to the pier.

The 60-meter ship looks like a giant against the scattered small fishing boats nearby! Thank you for voting and tipping friends, good night~
