Chapter 399 Return
This cold front lasted for a long time, and it was ten days later when the weather became warm again.
The weather was too cold and the wind was strong, so Zhou Chenglei and his brother did not go out to sea these days.
Taking advantage of the days when they could not go out to sea, the two brothers renovated a utility room in the old house into a drying room, and bought bricks and tiles to build a drying room next to the kitchen.
Convenient for drying and air-drying fish in wet weather.
Zhou's mother didn't like Zhou Chenglei building a drying room at this time, but Zhou Chenglei didn't believe in it, so she had no choice.
Then these few days Jiang Xia and Zhou's mother worked together to make curtains and four-piece bedding sets.
Today, Zhou Chenglei installed the curtain track in the new house and hung the curtains.
Zhou Chengsen and Zhou Chengxin also helped, with each of the three brothers working on a floor.
Tomorrow is the winter solstice, and today happens to be Saturday, so the second family has also returned.
Zhou Chenglei is in charge of the second floor.
After working for a long time, the three brothers finally installed the track and hung up the curtains.
Mother Zhou looked at the hall and the room after the curtains were hung and said with a smile: "After the curtains are hung, the whole room feels different. Why does it look so good after the curtains are hung?"
The windows in the living room are large, and with curtains hung on them, it looks very grand. Moreover, the pattern of the curtains is consistent with the color of the sofa in the living room, which makes it feel very harmonious and looks very comfortable.
In addition, Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei went to the city to deliver dried fish a few days ago, and then went shopping and bought some vases, ornaments, bonsai plants, bedside lamps and other things to decorate their new house at home.
With curtains and some decorations, every space in the house becomes more warm and luxurious.
Tian Caihua was helping to clean up the dust from the drilling. After hearing this, she said, "Xiao Xia is good at tinkering. This house is almost the same as the one I saw on TV. Xiao Xia helped me decorate my living room and hung up curtains. It looks much better now."
A few days ago, she asked Jiang Xia to decorate the living room for her, and it immediately looked different!
Now her house has curtains installed, and it was Jiang Xia who helped her choose the curtain fabric.
Li Xiuxian asked, "You also have curtains at home? Also this kind of curtain fabric? Where did you buy them?"
She thought the curtain fabrics Jiang Xia picked were very nice and fashionable, but she didn't know where she bought them. She went to the mall and the supply and marketing cooperative last week and didn't see them.
Tian Caihua said proudly, "Yes! I changed it! I didn't buy it, Xiaoxia had it custom-made at the textile factory. The textile factory hasn't mass-produced it yet, so there's nowhere to buy it. Xiaoxia got extra curtain fabrics for me from the textile factory, and it's free. Not only curtain fabrics, but also quilt covers and bed sheets. The fabrics for the quilt covers are so comfortable, I want to use them to make clothes."
When Li Xiuxian heard that it was free, she immediately asked Jiang Xia: "Xiao Xia, do you still have these curtain fabrics? My curtain fabrics are old, and I want to change them too."
Jiang Xia shook his head while sweeping the dust: "No more, I didn't know my second sister-in-law also wanted to change the curtains, so I didn't take more. My eldest sister-in-law told me, so I took some more."
Director Peng liked these patterns very much and thought they would sell well when exported, so she did not charge any money. She also said that if Jiangxia could continue to provide textile factories with any beautiful patterns in the future, she would give them a percentage point of the profit.
Li Xiuxian didn't say anything else, turned her head away, and was unhappy: "I don't want money, and I don't want to take more! When I helped Tian Caihua to take it, didn't I think that she was also her sister-in-law? Didn't I ask her if she needed it?"
The two of them are just ostracizing her!
Li Xiuxian looked at these curtains and felt more and more uncomfortable, thinking that she had been cheated.
Curtains cost a lot of fabric. It would cost at least ten or twenty yuan to buy curtains for a room, and you need fabric coupons!
Tian Caihua said there were also sheets and quilt covers, which took quite a lot of fabric! Zhou's mother brought in a bucket of water and a mop, intending to mop the floor.
Li Xiuxian saw it and said, "I'm going to take out the garbage. I don't know where Yingying went to play. Don't go to the beach. I'll go take a look!"
After saying that, she walked out carrying the bucket of trash.
I don’t want to stay even a second longer!
So angry!
The dust on the ground had been swept away, and Tian Caihua took the mop from Zhou's mother: "Let me mop it!"
Jiang Xia took a rag and a feather broom and wiped the dust off the sofa, coffee table and TV cabinet.
The three Zhou Chenglei brothers were mopping the floor and wiping the sofa.
When Zhou's mother saw this, she went back to the old house to cook. After Jiang Xia finished wiping the dust off the TV cabinet, she went back to help with the cooking.
While washing vegetables, Zhou's mother said, "Tomorrow is the winter solstice. Your father called last time and said he would be back in a few days. Why hasn't he come back yet?"
Jiang Xia was also a little worried, but he still said, "There was a cold front a few days ago, so I guess it was delayed!"
"It should be." It was just cold air, not a typhoon, so Zhou's mother was not that scared.
The ship is so big that its ability to withstand wind and waves is relatively strong.
But I'm still worried.
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou's father finally came back with a big bag of money, not including the money deposited in the passbook.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
He handed the bag to Zhou Chenglei and said to Jiang Xia, "Xiao Xia, these are for you. I put the passbook in the bag. Keep it safe and don't lose it."
Zhou's father reminded them to put the money away.
He originally wanted to give the bag of money to Wangcai, but Wangcai now has three little Wangcais in her belly, and the bag is a bit heavy, so he had to let his son do it.
Li Xiuxian took a look at the luggage bag that Zhou's father handed to Zhou Chenglei: Could it be that the whole bag is full of money?
How much would that cost? Jiang Xia went back to the room with Zhou Chenglei to put the things away.
It is impossible for Zhou's father to buy clothes for her, so the luggage bag should contain money.
The couple returned to the room, closed the door, and then opened the luggage bag.
It was indeed a big bag of great unity, with some other denominations as well.
Jiang Xia started counting the money with a smile.
*Father Zhou returned home and the whole family had dinner together again in the evening.
Zhou's father talked about the time he followed some fishing boats to a certain sea area to catch eels.
Every year, many fishing boats go there to catch eels. The local fishing boats set out in the morning and return in the evening, and can catch tens of thousands of kilograms of eels in a day.
Their fishing boat is big and has a fish finder, so they catch more.
The local fishing boats can't be big fishing boats, right? They catch tens of thousands of catties a day? Li Xiuxian asked, "Dad, did you make a lot of money this time?"
Father Zhou smiled and said, "Not bad."
This time he was out at sea for a little longer. After catching eels, he followed a big ship to catch tuna, and then went to catch some minnows to bring home. The more waters he traveled to, the more money he earned.
After deducting costs, the boatmen’s wages amounted to more than 90,000 yuan.
Jiang Xia had heard a boss who made his fortune from ships say before that in this golden age, owning a big ship, making a profit in one year and achieving financial freedom in two years is not a dream.
Of course, there is some exaggeration in this statement. The other party is just expressing that business is good in this era and that big ships make money.
