Chapter 343 Borrowing Money
Zhou Ying jumped off the bicycle happily.
This was not the first time Zhou Ying rode a motorcycle. The last time she came back, her father took her for a ride around the village on a motorcycle.
She feels riding a motorcycle is very comfortable, much more comfortable than riding a bicycle.
Jiang Xia asked her: "Yingying, do you want to sit in the middle or in the front?"
"I want to sit in the front."
Jiang Xia moved back, Zhou Chenglei also moved back, and then he carried her to sit in front of him.
Zhou Chengsen gave the meat and ribs he brought back to Zhou Chenglei, and then went to divide the fish with Li Xiuxian.
Zhou Chenglei drove back on his motorcycle.
Li Xiuxian came to the boat and saw Zhou's father and Zhou Chengxin carrying baskets of fish off the boat.
This was not the first time Li Xiuxian came to help divide the fish, but it was the first time she saw so many fish.
She was surprised and said, "What a good harvest today!"
Tian Caihua was very proud. The money she made today was several times more than Li Xiuxian's monthly salary, probably more than ten times. Li Xiuxian's salary was only 20 yuan when she taught in the village primary school. Now that she works in the town center primary school, it should be a little more, but it is probably only more than ten yuan! Li Xiuxian has always been so proud of herself in front of Tian Caihua because she can make money! Bah, it's just a few dozen yuan, and she's showing off in front of Tian Caihua! Tian Caihua couldn't help but pretend: "Today is not bad! I came back early today, so I can probably sell more than a thousand yuan. If I came back later, I should be able to sell more than two thousand yuan."
How could Li Xiuxian not see Tian Caihua's boasting? She said calmly, "That's great. If she does this every day, she will become rich soon."
Although she said that, she really felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
Tian Caihua smiled and said, "How can I do that? I have to share half with my fourth brother! He has a big boat, so he's really rich! But when my new boat comes back, we can make more money. By the way, you know that Dad is going to attend the Ten Thousand Yuan Household Recognition Conference tomorrow? Will you go, second brother? I heard that Ten Thousand Yuan Households will also receive TVs, bicycles and money as rewards. If I had known, our household registration would have been separated. Then I could have gone and brought back a TV."
"I don't know whether he will go or not." Li Xiuxian felt even more uncomfortable when she heard this.
Tian Caihua has become a millionaire? Zhou Chengsen and she earn just over 200 yuan a month. Although they get benefits during festivals and don't have to buy food at home, they can only save a little over 1,000 yuan a year, almost 2,000 yuan. Now their family has a total savings of just over 3,000 yuan, almost 4,000 yuan.
Last night Zhou Chengsen told her that Zhou Chenglei spent 200,000 yuan to buy 100 acres of land in the village.
There is also a teacher in the school whose spouse works in the town government agency. This morning he came to ask her whether her brother-in-law spent 200,000 yuan to buy 100 acres of land.
Zhou Chenglei became a millionaire, Tian Caihua became a millionaire, and she was very proud because her family had more than 3,000 yuan in savings!
Li Xiuxian couldn't help but take a look at the ship. Before the family split up, all the money earned from the ship belonged to everyone.
After the family split up, the second branch no longer had a share of the ship.
Why did Tian Caihua have a house, land, and a boat? Even if both of them had jobs, their wages were so low, how could they compare to fishing at sea?
Li Xiuxian now thinks that she was stupid. When the family was divided, her family paid some money to buy a house in the town. Zhou Chengsen said that the family’s boat and land would not be divided among them in the future.
She had no objection and even felt that she had gotten a great deal. After all, she and her husband had stable jobs and did not need the land and boat at home.
I was so naive back then!
I didn't expect fishing at sea to be so profitable.
At that time, the fishing boat had just been purchased, and the profit from fishing at sea every day was not much, only about ten yuan a day after deducting the fuel cost, and we were often unable to go out to sea due to weather reasons.
In fact, I can earn four to five hundred yuan a month.
Who would have thought that you could earn thousands a day now?
Li Xiuxian really regretted that she didn't think of giving up the boat, which was a big money-making thing.
But it's no use regretting now. No matter what she said, Zhou Chengsen said he gave it to his brother and his younger brother.
* Zhou Chenglei cooked dinner. He washed Jiang Xia’s hair first and prepared bath water for her before starting to cook.
Dinner included braised spare ribs, stir-fried pork slices with chili peppers, boiled shrimps, boiled baby octopus, steamed abalone with garlic, stir-fried porgy with green onions, braised saury, and a small piece of bok choy.
During the meal, Tian Caihua saw that Jiang Xia was afraid to eat the porcupine, so she said, "The porcupine cooked by A Lei is delicious and not poisonous."
Jiang Xia shook his head: "Forget it, I'll eat it later."
The dosage of some medicines is determined by body weight. Jiang Xia feels that no matter how clean the treatment is, there will still be trace amounts of toxins. Adults are not afraid of it, but it is hard to say for embryos the size of pearls.
If it affects the development of the embryo, you will regret it!
Why take this risk just for a bite of food? Zhou Chenglei saw that Jiang Xia didn't dare to eat, so he ate a piece and then followed her and didn't eat, and even changed his pair of chopsticks to pick up food for Jiang Xia.
Zhou Chengsen asked his father: "Dad, how are we going to the city tomorrow?"
Father Zhou: "We'll take the production team's tractor. The production team will drive us there on a tractor. Do you want to go?"

Tian Caihua immediately said, "Let's go! I'll take a few kids with me. Xiaoxia, should we go see the sofa after the commendation meeting?"
Jiang Xia shook his head: "I'm not going to attend the commendation meeting. I'm going to look at the sofa directly."
Tian Caihua: "Then I'll go take a look and go with you to see the sofa."
Zhou Chengxin: "Then I'll go with my parents. Second brother, second brother's wife, are you going?"
Li Xiuxian hadn't spoken a word the whole night. After hearing this, she said, "No, I'm not a millionaire. Why would I go?"
The whole family looked at her.
Zhou Chengsen kicked her foot.
Li Xiuxian calmed down and asked, "Dad, how much does a fishing boat as big as ours cost now?"
Father Zhou: "A new boat should cost more than 10,000 yuan."
They bought a second-hand boat from the production team, so it was cheap.
Li Xiuxian made an important decision in her heart. She looked at Zhou Chengsen and asked, "Shall we order a boat as well?"
Zhou Chengsen suppressed his temper and said, "Why buy it? Are you planning to stop being a teacher and go home to fish?"
Of course, it was impossible for Li Xiuxian to go home and fish. Being a teacher was much more respectable than being a fisherman, but it didn't make much money.
"Can't we hire someone? Can't we just ask Dad to help us take a look?"
Father Zhou wanted his sons to be better and better. "If you have money, you can buy a boat and hire someone to do it. Then they can go out to sea with the fishing boat at home. We can also take care of it."
Mother Zhou: "Yes, I will help you pick up the goods at the dock when the time comes."
Zhou Chenglei: "Yes, you can buy one, and it's also cost-effective to hire someone to drive it. If you're lucky, you can make back the money in a year."
Li Xiuxian smiled, "Right! Fourth brother also said it's a good idea to buy one! But we don't have much money right now. Fourth brother, can you lend me and your second brother some money?"
