Looking at the happy smiles on the family's faces, Zhou Bin secretly made up his mind to make more money to make their lives better.
At present, their home consists of only three mud houses, one where their father lives, one where the three of them live, and the other one has become a cowshed for the old ox.
The kitchen was even worse. It was a makeshift shed made of mud bricks and thatch. It was cold in the winter and hot in the summer and was very simple.
Although the yard is not small, it is all mud. If it rains heavily, it will become muddy.
It is usually fine on sunny days, but once there is a strong wind, a dusty fog will blow up in the yard, making it impossible to open your eyes.
Seeing his son remained silent, Zhou Jianming couldn't help but ask, "Binbin, do you want all the crabs?"
Zhou Bin smiled and said, "I want them all. I got all the money back. It's a total of 900 yuan."
Zhou Jianming showed a surprised look: "Oh, this thing is valuable, you can't earn so much money even if you ask us to dig in the fields for a year!"
Zhou Bin smiled and said, "This is nothing. There are still many ways to make a lot of money in the future."
Zhou Jianming looked at his son and said sincerely: "Binbin, you are much better than Dad. Dad is old, and this family will depend on you in the future."
Zhou Bin patted his chest and said with a smile: "Dad, you don't have to worry about the family affairs, just wait and enjoy the good life in the future!"
Zhou Jianming nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay!" Zhou Bin saw him quietly wiping his eyes with his hands.
Zhang Hongwei didn't come again in the next few days, but people from the village still came to sell crabs.
Zhou Bin accepted all the orders with a smile. After all, it is not easy for everyone to catch crabs.
On the fifth day, Zhou Bin had just finished his meal and planned to rest in the yard for a while.
Suddenly, there was a sound of a motorcycle outside the door, and Zhou Bin knew that Zhang Hongwei was coming.
Sure enough, Zhang Hongwei walked in from the door with a happy face.
As soon as he entered the door, he shouted, "Brother Zhou, I'm here!"
Zhou Bin quickly invited him to rest under a big tree and asked Li Nan to bring him tea.
Zhang Hongwei took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Brother Zhou, I have brought you good things again this time!"
Zhou Bin handed him a cigarette and asked with a smile, "What's the good news?"
Zhang Hongwei lit up his cigarette, took a puff and said, "Our 200 kilograms of crabs are really popular. They are so popular that Master Li is so happy."
Zhou Bin laughed and said, "He didn't say how popular he was."
Zhang Hongwei immediately started talking: "I'm not exaggerating. When the guests first heard that it was crab, they didn't want to eat it at all. Later, when the dishes were served, they couldn't put down their chopsticks as soon as they started eating. Some people even ordered two plates at once!"
Zhou Bin smiled slightly: "Well, that's within my expectations. The crabs here are raised by drinking stream water. They are pure natural, pollution-free, and definitely taste great."
Zhang Hongwei was amused: "Brother Zhou, what you said is very pleasant to the ear. Why can't I say the same thing? Anyway, Boss Hou is very satisfied."
Zhou Bin smiled and asked, "Then he didn't say how to deal with this matter?"
Zhang Hongwei held up three fingers: "Boss Hou still wants this amount!"
"You said three hundred kilograms?" Zhou Bin asked.
Zhang Hongwei smiled and said, "Yes, 300 kilograms, how about that?"
Zhou Bin immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Okay! I have about 100 kilograms stored here, and I will collect another 200 kilograms for you."
Zhang Hongwei took a puff of his cigarette, stood up and said, "Here it is. Give me this 100 kilograms first and I'll deliver it to them. I'll come get the rest in two days."
Zhou Bin smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, why are you so anxious? Drink some more water!"
Zhang Hongwei quickly took out 450 yuan from his pocket, handed it to Zhou Bin, and said, "It's urgent to make money!"
Zhou Bin took the money with a smile and helped him pack the crabs. Zhang Hongwei then drove away in his simple three-wheeled motorcycle.
Zhou Bin immediately called Aniu and asked him to go to the village and shout that he wanted to collect 200 kilograms of crabs this time.
Soon, everyone in the village knew the news and started catching crabs enthusiastically again.
In just two days, 200 kilograms of crabs were harvested.
But the villagers still kept coming with crabs, and Zhou Bin really had no place to put them, so he had to let them take them back and collect them next time.
On the third day, Zhang Hongwei came and transported away another 200 kilograms of crabs.
At night, Xiaohua had already fallen asleep. Zhou Bin, who was tired after a day's work, also fell asleep leaning on the quilt.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Bin suddenly woke up in a daze.
He found that his wife was not sleeping, but lying on the side alone, not knowing what she was doing.
Zhou Bin was a little curious, so he sat up and asked, "Xiao Nan, what are you doing?"
Li Nan shivered with fear, and when he realized it was Zhou Bin who spoke, he immediately said in a low voice with a happy look on his face: "Brother Bin, we are rich!"
Zhou Bin asked with a smile: "What fortune did we make?"
Li Nan sat up, and Zhou Bin could see clearly that she was secretly counting money.
Zhou Bin smiled: "Xiao Nan, why are you so obsessed with money? You don't sleep, but secretly count money here."
Li Nan smiled and asked, "Brother Bin, do you know how much money we have now?"
Zhou Bin usually didn't keep count, so he smiled and asked, "How much?"
"More than 3,100 yuan!" Li Nan said excitedly.
Zhou Bin quickly calculated and found that after deducting the cost of these few times, the total amount was about this much money.
Seeing Li Nan's face flushed with joy, Zhou Bin couldn't help but say, "Xiao Nan, look how beautiful you are. You have suffered so much following me. Why don't we use this money to build a few houses for you?"
