Chapter 103 Follow Their Boat!
The next day, the two of them had to get up at four o'clock to go out to sea.
When Jiang Xia got out of bed, her legs went weak and she almost fell! Zhou Chenglei was getting dressed, and he was startled and quickly supported her, feeling a little distressed: "Why don't you not go out to sea today and sleep a little longer?"
She really didn't need to get up early and go to sea with him every day. It was too tiring.
Jiang Xia leaned on him, relaxed, and couldn't help but glare at him again. It was all his fault!
It's not like he doesn't know what he looks like.
It has to be that deep.
Strong and energetic! Jiang Xia pushed him away and went to find clothes to change: "No! I still need a few thousand dollars to buy a boat. I won't feel at ease if I don't go out to sea with you."
Zhou Chenglei guessed that she would be like this, he knew that she would feel pressured after buying the boat.
But Jiang Xia insisted on going out to sea, and he couldn't do anything about it, so this time he took her to the dock on his bicycle, then parked the bicycle in front of the production team's gate, and rode away after coming back from the sea.
In fact, Jiang Xia's feet were not so weak after he got up, but Zhou Chenglei was still worried.
Jiang Xia let him do what he wanted. After all, it would take a long time to walk to the pier, and she would have more time to translate if she rode a bicycle.
Jiang Xia sat on the boat with a flashlight on his head, translating while waiting for Zhou Chenglei to come back after parking his bicycle.
Father Zhou was walking, so he hadn't arrived yet.
Wen Wan came to the dock and boarded Zhou Bingqiang's new boat with the help of Zhou Guohua. She saw Jiang Xia sitting alone on the boat, writing and drawing on a book.
She saw Zhou's mother secretly pouring some shells into the sea yesterday morning. After Zhou's mother left, she went to take a look and found that what she had poured out were pearl oyster shells.
She was sure that Zhou Chenglei had found pearls! Her dream had come true again! Zhou Chenglei would definitely go into the water to look for pearls again today, so she asked Zhou Guohua to take her out to sea.
Wen Wan looked at Jiang Xia and felt that she was translating.
But with Jiang Xia's academic performance and her past life experience, how could she possibly translate? She probably hasn't given up yet and wants to continue studying for the college entrance examination. She's doing exercise books and preparing to take the college entrance examination next year.
After all, Jiang Xia was also reborn, and he knew how valuable the college graduates of this era were.
Zhou Guohua held Wen Wan's hand, a little reluctant to let go, and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Wan, do you really know where to find pearls?"
Wen Wan felt nauseous. She pulled her hand back without leaving a trace, quietly pointed in the direction of Jiang Xia, and made a "hush" gesture.
Zhou Guohua stopped talking immediately! He couldn't let anyone hear him! Zhou Guohua was Zhou Bingqiang's youngest son. His family had three boats, and now each of the three brothers had one.
Zhou Guohua likes Wen Wan, but Wen Wan looks down on him. He has been a fisherman all his life and has no future!
He had no shortage of money, but his future was far from Zhou Chenglei's. Moreover, he later had a car accident and became lame in one leg.
However, now Wen Wan was made to laugh at by Jiang Xia. People in the village said she was vicious and wanted to drive Jiang Xia away. She climbed into Zhou Chenglei's bed and wanted to be a vixen. She was shameless! Her stepmother said she had a bad reputation and wanted to marry her to the man in her previous life. Her father agreed.
Wen Wan had been feeling very aggrieved these days. She was hiding on the beach crying that day and happened to meet Zhou Guohua. He came to comfort her and she realized that he liked her.
In order to get rid of her marriage in her previous life, Wen Wan had to date him first.
Zhou Guohua's family owns three boats and is now the richest in the village. After Wen's father knew that she was dating Zhou Guohua, he no longer agreed to the marriage proposed by her stepmother.
Father Wen was still counting on Zhou Guohua to become his son-in-law and be filial to him in the future!
Of course Wen Wan would not marry Zhou Guohua. She would break up with him after she was admitted to university.
As compensation, Wen Wan would remind him that he would have a car accident in the future, so as to prevent him from becoming a cripple and change his fate.
That way she wouldn't owe him anything! Moreover, although she had to date Zhou Guohua, she wouldn't take advantage of him.
Wen Wan took out her high school math textbook to read. She usually had to herd sheep, do housework, review for the college entrance examination, and translate to make money. She didn't have enough time and could only use all her free time to review high school knowledge.
Fortunately, she found a translation job in a publishing house. The editor was quite satisfied with her translation and gave her twenty yuan for the book.
Then she came back with a thicker book this time, and a technology magazine.
The book can earn her 30 yuan after she finishes translating it. The science and technology magazine is more expensive because many scientific and technological terms are difficult to translate, so the editor said to give her 50 yuan. As long as she translates well, she will translate all the magazines in the future.
With this part-time job, she no longer has to worry about not having enough living expenses.
However, she heard the editor talking to her niece and found out that translating French books was even more expensive, costing fifty yuan for a thin book.
Because few people know French, it is more expensive than English.
Wen Wan decided to learn multiple languages in college. The country is undergoing reforms and will introduce many foreign-funded enterprises in the future. Translation has a bright future.
Zhou Bingqiang glanced at Wen Wan who was reading a book, and then glanced at Jiang Xia on the other boat.
I heard that Zhou Yongfu's daughter-in-law failed the college entrance examination three times. I heard that his son's girlfriend is very good at studying, so he hopes she can get into college and give Zhou Yongfu a slap in the face.
So that he won’t keep praising his daughter-in-law as a treasure all day long.
At this time, Zhou's father and mother also arrived at the dock.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
The family was still several thousand short of money to buy a boat. Seeing that the oysters they pried back the day before were quite plump, Zhou's mother planned to go to the island to pry some back home, dry more golden oysters and sell them to make more money.
Yesterday, I sold dried shrimp for more than 70 yuan, and dried fish for more than 90 yuan, making a profit of almost 200 yuan. I still have more than 100 kilograms of dried fish to sell, and I can make more than 100 yuan when the time comes. It is obvious that selling dried fish makes more money than selling fresh fish.
Zhou's mother thought about prying open the oysters and drying them, and then selling them at the end of the year to help supplement the family income.
Zhou Bingqiang saw his father and asked enthusiastically, "Yongfu, where did you go yesterday? I didn't see you the whole day. If someone didn't know, they would think you were hiding from me! Come, come and see my new boat!"
Last night when he came back he purposely moored his boat next to Zhou Yongfu's boat, as he didn't believe he wouldn't see it when he went out to sea today.
Father Zhou was not jealous this time. He walked onto Zhou Bingqiang's new boat with a smile on his face. He was surprised to see Wen Wan and looked at Zhou Bingqiang: "Didn't you say that we can't bring women on board?"
Zhou Bingqiang didn't want to take it, but Wen Wan said she could find pearl oysters, and she showed him a few pearl oyster shells.
He smiled and said, "I think you are right. Feudal superstitions are not to be trusted. Women hold up half the sky! And Xiaowan is Guohua's girlfriend now."
Jiang Xia was translating seriously and didn't pay attention to her surroundings. Only when Zhou's father and mother came did she greet them.
After hearing Zhou Bingqiang's words, she noticed Wen Wan in the next boat. She was surprised. Are Wen Wan and Zhou Guohua dating?
But this was none of Jiang Xia’s business. She was surprised for a moment and then continued to translate with her head down.
Zhou's father wouldn't care about these things. Wen Wan just needs to stop causing trouble for his son and daughter-in-law!
He looked around Zhou Yongfu's new boat and asked a lot of questions. He asked what brand the engine was, how much it cost, how much horsepower the engine had, and how much the crane cost...
Asked about all the equipment on the ship! Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.
Haha... none of them can compare to his family's new boat! Zhou's father was secretly happy. He was just waiting for two months, when the boat came back, to slap them in the face one by one!
Zhou Bingqiang saw that Zhou's father was smiling, but he thought he was forcing a smile. He comforted him, "Chenglei has been lucky recently, and he will definitely buy a boat soon." No wonder! Zhou's father sighed and replied, "How can it be that easy! He doesn't even have a house!"
Zhou Bingqiang felt that his father felt that he would never be able to compare to him in this life, so he finally gave in. He felt relieved and comforted him, "Chenglei is so capable, he will have everything soon!"
"Well, I hope so! I'm going to sea now!"
At this time Zhou Chenglei came back with a bucket of diesel and a bucket of water. Zhou's father pretended to be happy, so he said this and went back to his boat.
Go out to sea, make money, buy a big ship! Today, Zhou's father still drove the boat. After he drove the boat out to sea for a distance.
Wen Wan said to Zhou Guohua: "Follow their boat, they found the pearl shell."
