Chapter 371 Want to Have a Son
After dinner in the evening, Zhou Chenglei and Zhou Chengsen worked together to process the more than 20 mullets and took out the roe.
The roe of mullet is golden yellow and shaped like two conjoined eggplants.
It is rather troublesome to dry mullet roe. After taking out the mullet roe, the blood vessels on the roe need to be scraped off. If the blood vessels are not handled cleanly, the dried mullet roe will be black and the color will not be beautiful enough.
Apply a thick layer of salt to the cleaned fish roe and marinate it. Then press it with a wooden board overnight to squeeze out the moisture. Rinse off the salt on the surface tomorrow and dry it in the sun.
Zhou's mother was mending fishing nets in the house.
Jiang Xia is teaching Zhou Ying and Zhou Zhou English.
Jiang Xia discovered that Zhou Zhou had a good sense of language and a good memory, so she asked her to study with him.
She started teaching from the beginning and only taught once a week. English is not yet popularized, but there is no rush. The most important thing is to cultivate interest.
Li Xiuxian was washing her daughter's and her own clothes in the yard. She rolled her eyes at Zhou Chengsen, saying that she had the free time but didn't help with the laundry. She only knew how to help others with their work.
All the clothes in Jiangxia are washed by Zhou Chenglei.
Zhou Chengsen said to Zhou Chenglei, "If my father-in-law and his men don't arrive by 6:30 tomorrow, you and your brother don't have to wait for them, just go out to sea!"
Zhou Chenglei: “Yeah.”
Li Xiuxian: "My father and brother are not familiar with the sea area yet!"
Zhou Chengsen: "I have reminded them to get up early and not be late."
Li Xiuxian: “…”
Had he reminded them, would they not have been late? Did he think she hadn't reminded them?
"They are not very late today. They arrived at 7:30. Fourth brother, how about changing the time of going out to sea to 7:30 tomorrow?"
Zhou Chengsen: "No, I've already told them that if they are still late tomorrow and can't make it by 6:30, I told them not to come. It's really difficult to get up so early in the winter. I'll take them out to sea to get familiar with it next week when I'm off. They agreed."
Li Xiuxian: “…”
Take them out to sea again next week when we have the day off?
What did you buy that boat for?
Where to put it? Li Xiuxian is really impressed by Zhou Chengsen!
Zhou Chenglei not only went out to sea to fish every day to make money, but also did translation work at night to make money.
Zhou Chengxin also goes out to sea at around four in the morning every day.
How motivated are these two brothers? They work so hard to make money! Why is Zhou Chengsen so unmotivated?
Li Xiuxian glanced into the room and saw Zhou Ying reading English with Jiang Xia.
Is it because she didn't give birth to a son, but only Zhou Ying, that he lost his ambition?
After all, in the future all I need to do is give my daughter a dowry.
The couple will have a pension in the future and won’t have to worry about having no one to take care of them in their old age.
If you give birth to a son, you also have to consider selling the house for him and getting him married. You can't be unmotivated.
Li Xiuxian wants to have another son.
Li Xiuxian glanced at Jiang Xia.
In fact, it is not impossible to have a baby secretly. If you get pregnant now, the child will be about the same age as Jiang Xia's by then.
Children of the same age can no longer be identified their age after raising them for a few months.
At that time, you can register your household registration with Zhou Chenglei.
Anyway, Jiang Xia is pregnant with twins, so it’s okay to say they are quadruplets.
Li Xiuxian thinks it is very feasible! Without a son, it is really not possible.
Tian Caihua has four sons.
It would be fine if Jiang Xia gave birth to three daughters, because they would belong to other families after they were married off.
If Jiang Xia also gave birth to three sons, as long as one of their sons would be successful in the future, they would not have to worry about the rest of their lives.
Especially Jiangxia, her mother's family is so helpful, I'm afraid she will be extremely wealthy all her life.
When Li Xiuxian thought of this, she wanted to give birth very much!
Before going to bed at night, Li Xiuxian told Zhou Chengsen about her idea of having a son.
Zhou Chengsen: "Which nerve wire did you connect to wrong again?"
There are so many different styles every day!
Is she planning to quit her job now? Does she really want to make a living by fishing? She can buy a boat and go fishing. She likes it and can give up her school job.
If he has another child, he will lose his job!
I didn't make much today. After deducting the gas and labor costs, I only made three dollars.
Why are you so stimulated?
Besides, fishing at sea depends on the weather. It is normal to fish for three days and dry the nets for two days.
Who can guarantee that you can go out to sea every day?
Who can guarantee that going overseas will make money? Li Xiuxian expressed her thoughts.
Zhou Chengsen laughed angrily: "Enter Alei's account? Why not enter my parents' account and be my brother?"

Li Xiuxian: “…”
Li Xiuxian was so angry that she took a long time to calm down! "Let me be serious. Didn't Xiaoxia want to register Zhou Zhou's household registration in their account? It's just a registration, not asking them to help us support him. We are not the only ones who do this."
"I won't give birth. If you want to give birth, find someone else!" Zhou Chengsen almost fell asleep but was woken up. He turned over and continued to sleep.
Li Xiuxian: “…”
Who is this? How dare you say such a thing!
She wants to have a son, is it just for herself?
*The next day, Mr. Li and Li Qingmin were late again.
As soon as Zhou Chenglei arrived at half past six, he set out to sea.
Lateness was one of his pet peeves.
Jiang Xia was pregnant, so she could wake up on time even though she was sleepy. Were the two grown men pregnant with ten babies, so they couldn't get up? When the Li family father and son arrived, it was exactly seven o'clock, which was an improvement from yesterday.
The father and son of the Li family searched everywhere but couldn't find the fishing boat of the two brothers of the Zhou family.
Li Qingmin: "These two brothers of Asen are too inhumane. They won't even wait for a moment."
Father Li: "You can't blame others, let's get up early tomorrow!"
Zhou Chengsen and his wife happened to be returning to town for work at this time. They passed by the dock and saw the father and son.
Zhou Chengsen: "Dad, you don't have to go out to sea these days. Wait until I come back on Sunday!"
Father Li: "No, we must be early tomorrow."
Zhou Chengsen: "Really, no need. My brother and my brother won't go out to sea tomorrow. And they usually go out to sea at 4:30 in the middle of the night. You don't have to go out so early."
These two days were so late because I had promised him that I would take the Li father and son for two days. Usually, the family goes out to sea at 4:30.
Most fish come out to feed before daybreak.
There are also many sunsets.
Many fish are nocturnal.
So fishing at dark actually yields more.
Many fishermen in their village go out to sea at night and sleep at home during the day because they can use lights to lure fish at night.
Mr. Li and Li Qingmin wanted to sail out by themselves, but Zhou Chengsen disagreed.
On the way to work, Li Xiuxian said, "Why don't we hire another person in the village to go out to sea with my dad and his friends!"
It's no good leaving the boat there! She bought the boat to make money, not to be a decoration.
"Sure. Who would you like to invite?"
"How is great grandfather? Hasn't he finished building the house for my fourth brother?"
"That's fine, I'll ask him when the time comes." Great grandfather is reliable.
"Then let's go back to the village tonight and ask Great Grandfather."
