Chapter 434: Hindsight

Zhou Chenglei finished the rice cake in a few crunchy bites, patted the crumbs off his hands, and took out a wad of money and gave it to Jiang Xia: "Money for today's fishing."

Jiang Xia took it and found that it was more than half less than usual, only 208.78 yuan. "There aren't many fish in the sea today?"

The combined income from the two boats was more than two hundred yuan, which had never been done before.

"You still say you have no fish? You've made more than 200 yuan! Are you still complaining?" Li Xiuxian walked into the yard exhausted. "We say we have no fish, absolutely no fish! We only sold 2.5 yuan!"

I went fishing at 5 o'clock. I cast four nets, but all of them were empty! The fish I caught were not enough to sell for three dollars! I didn't earn any money for the gas, nor did I earn any salary!

I lost more than ten yuan today! The maid is really more powerful than the mistress. Her father and brother earn more as workers!

I shouldn't have paid such a high salary in the first place.

Tian Caihua asked Zhou Chengxin: "How much did our boat sell today?"

Zhou Chengxin said, "Forty-two. Luckily, A-lei saw that the trawling net didn't catch any fish and he told us to try longline fishing and shrimp cages. Otherwise, we wouldn't have made the forty dollars."

There are many fishing tools, the most common ones are bottom trawling, drift nets, purse seines, longline fishing, etc.

Longline fishing is specifically for catching big fish.

Drift nets are mainly used to catch migratory fish.

Purse seine operators are those who catch schools of fish.

The Zhou family is used to trawling, but when there are not many fish in the trawling, Zhou Chenglei will try longline fishing and put out shrimp cages, crab cages and the like.

Li Xiuxian: "Why don't you explain it more clearly? I don't understand."

She thought that there were no fish or shrimp in the trawl net, so what fish could she catch with the longline? The weather was so cold that the shrimp were too lazy to run into the shrimp cages.

She didn't understand, they didn't explain it clearly, and Zhou Chengsen wasn't on his own boat to help!

Zhou Chengsen: "Isn't that clear enough? I told you there's no fish in the trawling net, try longline fishing! Do you think you're the kind of person who will listen to me? Don't overestimate yourself! You're just a hindsighter! You're a bad guy who never changes!"

Afterthought Li Xiuxian: "..."

It really makes her angry! Zhou Chengsen didn't stay on his own fishing boat when he went out to sea. It would be fine if he went to help Zhou Chenglei. If he stayed on his own fishing boat and insisted on using longline fishing, would she say anything?

In the end, she always listened to him.

Still talking about her! Seeing that his son and daughter-in-law were about to quarrel, Zhou's father said, "It's dark now, isn't Yingying still at her grandparents' house? Aren't you going to pick up the child?"

If you want to argue, don't do it in this house.

This new family is harmonious and prosperous! Go back to your parents' house to quarrel! Zhou Chengsen didn't answer Li Xiuxian anymore. He poured half of the bucket of fish into half of the wooden basin, leaving only a few mud crabs and a pound of shrimp that his daughter liked to eat. He said to his parents: "Mom, today's mud crabs are fatter, I'll keep more, and give you half."

Li Xiuxian: “…”

He didn't make any money, but he was willing to keep so many fish! Jiang Xia was preparing to wash rice and cook: "Brother, aren't you going to eat here? I'll cook now."

"No. We still have to go pick up Yingying. I don't know if we can eat there."

Li Xiuxian: “…”

Her parents probably didn't cook for them.

Zhou Chengsen said again: "Alei, Xiaoxia, let's stay at the old house during the winter vacation."

Jiang Xia: "Is there anything we can borrow from a family? The rooms here are ready. It's almost the New Year, you can just move in together, it will be more lively. Yingying and Zhou Zhou will also have company."

Zhou Chengsen refused. "It doesn't matter where I live. It's just across the street. It's just as lively. I'm too lazy to move."

Li Xiuxian is lazy. When she comes home, she thinks of ways to eat and do nothing. If she lives with her parents, she will expect her mother to do everything! She has such a long winter vacation, but he hasn't had a vacation yet!

She is coming back to go to sea with her father now. She has lived here for so long and expects others to serve her every day? Who can bear it? In the past, when she only came back during the New Year, her sister-in-law was very dissatisfied, but there was no way at that time. He couldn't not come back during the New Year, so she could only do more housework.

We can live separately now, so it’s better to live separately.

Zhou Chengsen originally wanted to save more money from the boat next year and build a house in the village so that he would not have to live in his brother's house when he returned.

Now we can only postpone building another house for a year or two.

Zhou Chengsen washed his hands and said, "We still have to go pick up Yingying. We'll leave first."

Jiang Xia hurriedly said, "Second brother, wait! A Lei also brought back a cod and a few pounds of shrimp, take some over to eat!"

Jiang Xia poured out some fish and shrimp for him.

Zhou Chengsen waved his hand: "That's enough for me! No need!"

He glanced at Li Xiuxian and said, "Let's go pick up Yingying and have dinner at your mother's house."

Li Xiuxian: “…”

She followed him angrily! Going to her mother's house to eat northwest wind! It was obvious that she wanted to go back to the old house to cook for herself!

Zhou Chengsen ignored her and turned away.

Li Xiuxian followed.

Sure enough, Zhou Chengsen walked towards the old house after leaving the yard. After entering the old house, he said, "Let's cook for ourselves when we come back from the sea. Don't bother my mother and the others."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

If Zhou Chengsen wasn't afraid that she would be lazy around his parents, he wouldn't bother with her.

He hasn't had his holiday yet, and when he comes back he'll make arrangements for her and their daughter.

"I'll go pick up Yingying." Li Xiuxian just left, not bothering to pay attention to him!

What is trouble? Will she not be needed to take care of them when they become unable to move?

Otherwise, why can the parents-in-law help Tian Caihua for so many years, and now it's their turn to help Jiang Xia, but not her? She has to do it herself? If they don't help her, don't expect her to take care of her! Zhou Chengsen didn't care about her and started to kill fish and cook.

I don't have the energy to deal with her.

I have to be careful and cautious at work, and then when I get home I have to be bothered by her, irritating her about this and that, and I have to clean up the mess for her.

As soon as Li Xiuxian came out, she met Tian Caihua.

Tian Caihua smiled and said, "Second brother's wife, I have been raising your pig for twenty days. When you kill the pig for the New Year in a few days, remember to give me one pound of pork per day!"

Li Xiuxian: “…”

*The next day, Zhou Chenglei went out to sea at six o'clock and delivered the agarwood to the city dock.

Jiang Xia woke up and accompanied him out to sea. She happened to have a shopping list for Zhang Rong, so she asked him to bring it back from Hong Kong Island.

I saw Zhang Rong at the city pier at 7:30 on time.

Zhang Rong took a big ship to Hong Kong Island this time. He watched several boatmen hoist the huge tree onto the ship, and asked Zhou Chenglei and Jiang Xia: "Are you short of money recently?"

Zhou Chenglei looked at Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia is in charge of the money.

Jiang Xia shook his head: "Not for the time being."

Zhang Rong didn't say anything to Zhou Chenglei. Anyway, he was just looking after his wife.

He spoke directly to Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia smiled and said, "I believe in you, brother. Just invest the money!"

"This is my first time investing, so I can't guarantee that I will make money. I might lose everything. But the market has been very good in the past two years, so I think it will last for several years."

Jiang Xia knew that she could still have several more years, so he said seriously, "I know that there is no such thing as a sure win in this world, so feel free to buy it, brother! Isn't it said that you are especially lucky when you are pregnant? If you are not sure, you can call me and ask me, and I will pick one at random."

Zhang Rong smiled and said, "Okay! Then I'll set off and try to get back before the New Year."

"Bon Voyage."
