Jiang Xia fed his brother a small mouthful of fish and said, "As long as it's not a super typhoon, it's okay. We can wait a few days before going out to sea. The bigger the wind and waves, the more fish we can catch. The things we bought today are all rice, flour, winter melon, pumpkin, sweet potatoes and the like that can be stored in the container. We don't have to worry about them going bad."
Father Zhou: "Xiao Xia is right. We can catch more fish after the typhoon passes! Why are you in such a hurry? Just wait a few more days. September is coming soon, and there will be fewer typhoons in September."
Father Zhou likes Jiang Xia's mouth, and the words coming out of her mouth are particularly prosperous.
If he could live with Wangcai for a few more years, Zhou's father felt that his life would be longer. He might even live to be a hundred years old and watch the triplets get married and have more triplets.
Seeing all my grandchildren succeeding, some becoming leaders, some becoming bosses, it would be great to have a grandson as smart as their uncles, becoming a scientist or an inventor!
Watch the whole family prosper!
Although Zhou's father was a fisherman, he didn't want his grandson to continue being a fisherman. It was too hard, too tiring and too dangerous.
That's money earned at the cost of one's life.
Let’s all study hard and make a name for ourselves!

Early the next morning, Zhou and his sons went out to sea to check the fish cages, prepare for the typhoon, and notify the workers on the island to return to shore.
The radio said that the typhoon was expected to make landfall in their area, and all work and flights would be suspended in the entire city except for special industries.
Jiang Xia is going to the garment factory and the food factory to arrange the typhoon prevention work.
Zhou's mother was worried about Ruan Tang, so she said to Jiang Xia, "Please pick up Ruan Tang when you get home from get off work!"
Jiang Xia said, "I'll call her and ask her if she wants to take a break."
So Jiang Xia called the hospital.
Ruan Tang cannot rest as she has to be on duty in the hospital, and Zhou Chengsen cannot rest either.
He had to evacuate the people and ensure their safety.
Zhou's mother had no choice but to tell Ruan Tang to take good care of herself and not to go out to take risks during a typhoon.
Ruan Tang told her not to worry, because the hospital leaders knew she was pregnant and would not arrange for her to go for external assistance.
After Jiang Xia hung up the phone, he went out.
She also had to go to the factories to ask everyone to make preparations for the typhoon, and then notify the employees of the two factories to go home for the holiday.
Those who live in the factory dormitory and do not go home have to register with the administration department and the canteen will prepare food.
Instruct the security captain on duty not to let employees go out and walk around during typhoon days to avoid trouble if something happens in the factory.
After Jiang Xia finished taking care of the factory matters, he went to Jiang's father's office to see him.
However, Jiang's father also went out to evacuate the people who might be affected by the disaster to a safe place.
There was no need for him to go out in person, as his work had already been handed over, but he still stood guard for his last shift and led his staff to do the job he had done countless times since he took office in this city.
Jiang Xia drove home without seeing his father, put the seafood, fruits and vegetables he brought in the refrigerator, left a note, reminding his parents to be careful during the typhoon, then closed the door and drove home.
After the typhoon passed, she and Jiang Dong sent Jiang's father to the neighboring province.

The three Zhou family members were busy at sea for two days.
Now there are more cages, and abalone and pearl oyster farming fish cages have been built.
If a fish cage or a fish farm is blown away or scattered, their loss will be over a hundred thousand!
What's more, if one can be blown away, the others will not be any better!
So no one dared to be careless, and the father and his sons did it themselves and checked every cage, so it took them two days to finish.
Because of the typhoon, all of the Zhou family's fishing boats that went out to sea returned that evening.
The father and his two sons drove the boat to a safe harbor and docked it.
The three large ships stood like giants among the many small ships, each one bigger than the other!
So eye-catching!
All the fishermen were envious when they saw it and wished they had one of their own.
But it is too expensive. I don’t know when I can afford it. I can only sigh at the sight of the boat.

The typhoon made landfall in a neighboring city at around 4:00 p.m. the next day.
In the morning, Zhou Chenglei and his father took the time to reinforce the tiles of the old house.
When the three children saw their father and grandfather climbing onto the roof, they were so excited that they kept calling "Dad" and then went to climb the bamboo ladder. Jiang Xia took turns holding them and taught them to climb the ladder.
When the typhoon landed in the afternoon, the wind was roaring, the sea was howling, and the rain was thundering.
The wind blew down all the fruit trees in the yard, and even cut the trees on the roadside in half!
The rain hit the window glass and made a crackling sound.
The triplets stood on the chaise longue and leaned on the windowsill to look out at the sea.
When the wind started to blow, the door of the house was blown shut with a loud bang. They were afraid.
The triplets were playing with toys and were startled and immediately wanted to be hugged.
For the first time, they faced the typhoon with clarity of mind.
They were born not long ago when the typhoon hit last year and they didn’t know anything. After returning from vacation this year, they only encountered one typhoon. It was windy at night and they all slept. When they woke up the next day, the typhoon had passed.
Seeing that they were scared, Jiang Xia carried them to the window to look.
Zhou Zhou and Zhou Ying had nothing to do, so they also came to Jiang Xia's room to watch the typhoon with the triplets.
Even though they have seen it many times, they still watch it every time because the typhoon is so powerful!
Jiang Xia explained to them how typhoons are formed.
The two older children didn’t understand, and the triplets understood even less, but they still gained something.
My sister pointed out the window: "Mom, Fengfeng, bang!"
Learned two new words: Fengfeng and Bang.
Jiang Xia: "Yes, the wind was so strong that the door slammed. Are you scared, baby?"
"Baby, baby, be scared." My sister spoke slowly and couldn't help repeating herself, but at least she said a sentence.
Jiang Xia was very happy and went to ask his elder and younger brothers.
"Are you afraid, brother?"
My brother shook his head and said nothing.
He usually keeps silent if possible.
Jiang Xia knew that her brother was more talkative than her sister, but he didn't like to talk, and she wouldn't force him to do so. She smiled and said, "Brother is so brave!"
"Are you afraid, brother?" Jiang Xia asked again.
My brother nodded: "I'm afraid."
The younger sister patted her second brother on the back and said like a mother: "Brother, be scared!"
Jiang Xia smiled: "It's my brother who is not afraid."
"Brother, no no no... Pa Pa!" He still couldn't figure out the pronunciation of the two words, and after saying "no" for a long time, he finally uttered the two words Pa Pa.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid...Brother is not afraid." Jiang Xia taught her patiently.
…
Zhou's father from the next room also went upstairs to see what was going on.
He looked at the fruit trees in the yard that were blown down and many of the trees on the roadside that were broken in half, and he felt uneasy!
This typhoon is too strong!
I don’t know if the fish cages and fish farms in the sea can hold up.
In the evening, Zhou's father had no appetite.
Jiang Xia said, "Dad, don't worry, it's okay. Eat a full meal and wait until the typhoon passes tonight so you can have enough energy to go to the beach. The waves are so big this time, there must be a lot of things washed ashore."
When Zhou's father heard this, he was no longer worried.
If Wangcai says it’s okay with his blessed mouth, then it’s definitely okay!
He needs to eat well and fight till dawn tonight!
Father Zhou went from being unable to eat to eating three bowls of rice.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the wind stopped and the rain stopped!
Father Zhou blew the whistle: "Quick, quick, take your tools and go fishing!" (End of this chapter)
