While no one was paying attention, Mu Chenze returned to the cabin, changed his clothes, and quietly walked to the other deck, intending to jump into the sea to check the location of the giant flounder.
Just as he was about to jump, he was stopped by Chu Xuan.
"Ze, are you going for a winter swim?"
Mu Chenze didn't expect his wife to come.
His eyes were a little evasive. "Yes... yes! I want to swim in winter. Winter swimming is good for the body."
"You're not allowed to go. If you want to go winter swimming, swim near the beach. We don't know the situation here, so stay on the boat."
"It's nothing. I've swum around here many times before."
"That was in the past, when the temperature was high. Now it's freezing, so you're not allowed to go. Don't think I can't guess that you want to go down to the sea and help me find giant flounder."
"no……"
"Don't quibble. You've done this before to help me gain more."
Mu Chenze didn't want to admit it, "Wife, what did I do?"
Chu Xuan gently squeezed his palm and said, "Before we confirmed our relationship, I picked up a lot of hairtail and prawns when I went to the beach. Those were all your doing, right?"
Mu Chenze just smiled and said nothing.
Chu Xuan took his hand and walked into the cabin, "Hurry up and change into thick clothes to avoid catching a cold."
Mu Chenze had no choice but to agree.
Under the supervision of his wife, Mu Chenze changed back into his original thick clothes.
Chu Xuan smiled gently, "Even though I didn't catch the giant flounder, I'm still happy. Being able to spend the New Year with you is the happiest thing for me."
Mu Chenze was touched by the sweet words, "Xiao Xuan, me too. I..."
Just as I was about to say I love you, Liu Dapeng's voice came from outside the cabin, "Chenze, Uncle Gu is calling you."
Mu Chenze quickly whispered to Xiao Xuan, "Wife, I love you."
After saying that, he shouted outside, "I'll be right there."
Chu Xuan smiled happily and gave him a light push, "Go quickly! I'm going out too."
They walked out together.
As soon as Gu Zhiren saw Mu Chenze, he immediately stepped forward and put his arm around his shoulders. "When we get to the island, Chenze and I will go together to look for sea duck eggs."
Mu Chenze looked at Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan smiled and said, "Go ahead. Xiaolan and I will go look for sea duck eggs together."
This was her first time going back to the island, and Mu Chenze was worried.
"You and Comrade Qian, come with me and Uncle Gu! Although there aren't many ferocious beasts on the island, we can't let our guard down."
Chu Xuan and Qian Xiaolan smiled at each other, and the matter was settled.
Half an hour later, we arrived at the island.
They wandered around the island for more than three hours, caught a dozen sea ducks, found more than a hundred sea duck eggs, returned to the fishing boat, and headed back.
As for the large cargoes on the ship, Mr. Gu bought them all, but Mu Chenze needed to find a car to deliver them to Beijing.
Mr. Gu will pay for the freight.
Mu Chenze agreed immediately.
The bill has been settled before the ship even docks.
No need to weigh, all are fixed prices.
The two big fish that Chu Dashan caught were sold for 1,200 yuan.
Mu Chenze, Liu Dapeng and Wang Chenyang each sold for 500 yuan.
The big catch that Gu Zhiren and Qian Xiaolan caught was given to Mr. Gu for free.
After arriving at the dock, Mu Chenze contacted Lin Yong immediately.
The fare to Beijing was one thousand yuan, and Lin Yong agreed without hesitation.
During the Chinese New Year, earning a thousand yuan is more joyful than anything else.
There are some things that everyone knows well. The fact that Mr. Gu is willing to spend so much on shipping these large goods means that these large goods can bring him more wealth.
By the time Mr. Gu and his friends went to the village canteen to eat, all the large goods had been loaded into Lin Yong's truck.
As for the other fish, everyone who went out to sea this time got a share.
It was obvious that Qian Xiaolan was in a much better mood.
That night, Mr. Gu, Gu Zhiren and Qian Xiaolan stayed in the county guesthouse.
The next morning, Mu Chenze, Wang Chenyang and Liu Dapeng each brought some New Year gifts and the order contract to the guesthouse to see Mr. Gu.
Mr. Gu generously signed an order for 30,000 cans of canned fish.
After having lunch together, Mr. Gu drove away with Gu Zhiren and Qian Xiaolan.
As for the large batch of goods that Lin Yong shipped to Beijing overnight, Mr. Gu's assistant has already signed for it.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Mu Chenze returned home and happily announced to his wife, parents, and parents that today's commission would be divided among him, Wang Chenyang, and Liu Dapeng.
Chu Xuan and the others were all happy for him.
As for Mu Chenfu and his wife, they have not returned from Fu's house yet.
I went to my mother's house on the second day of the Chinese New Year.
Chu Xuan's family members were not here. She had planned to take gifts to visit Wang Depin and his wife at noon today, but it happened that Mu Chenze and others were going to the county town to accompany Mr. Gu, so she changed the plan to tomorrow.
When the Mu family was sitting in the main room watching TV, there was a knock on the door, followed by Chu Dashan's voice.
"Hardworking, Mahua, I'm here to eat again."
Chu Xuan and Mu Chenze both looked confused. It seemed that their parents were not that familiar with Chu Dashan yet?
Chu Dashan called his name in a very friendly way.
Mu Qinlao and Qin Mahua are both kind people. As long as Chu Dashan truly reforms, they don't mind him being outgoing.
What's more, Chu Dashan didn't come empty-handed, he came with a basket of fried squid rings.
It smells delicious.
Chu Dashan handed over the basket and said, "Try these fried squid rings! They're delicious!"
Mu Qinlao took it, took out a squid ring and ate it, "It tastes really good."
Qin Mahua also tried one and said, "It's really good. Xiaoxuan, Xiaoze, try it quickly."
Chu Xuan picked up one and took a bite. The squid ring was crispy on the outside and delicious on the inside.
Mu Chenze was not in a hurry to eat. He smiled and asked, "Uncle Chu, who did you ask to fry it for you?"
Chu Dashan chuckled, "I traded with Liu Zhaodi. I used the thirty or forty kilograms of squid I was given to trade for two baskets of squid rings. I'll keep one basket at home and give one to you. Remember to return the baskets to Liu Zhaodi after you're done eating."
"No problem." Mu Chenze then picked up the squid rings and started eating.
Liu Zhaodi’s fried squid rings are really good.
When Chu Dashan saw that everyone accepted the squid rings with a smile, he knew that his chance of eating for free was finally settled.
Walk into the main room and sit down to watch TV.
Mu Qinlao grabbed some melon seeds and peanuts for him, and they ate while watching.
The Mu family also had a lot of squids, which Qin Mahua had already processed, cleaned, and put into the refrigerator for freezing.
You can fry it, stir-fry it or make soup with it.
After a while, Qin Mahua, Mu Chenze and Chu Xuan also walked into the main room to watch TV.
Chu Dashan looked at Chu Xuan and said, "I forgot to tell you that I donated 600 yuan to the village office today."
There was pride in his tone.
Everyone was surprised. How could a money-loving person like Chu Dashan donate money to the village office?
Chu Xuan blurted out, "Uncle Chu, are you still you?"
Chu Dashan has been acting really abnormal lately.
First he insisted on going out to sea with the ship, then he really caught a big catch, and finally he sold it and made a donation?
Is the sun going to set in the east?
I find it increasingly difficult to understand Chu Dashan.
Chu Dashan responded carelessly, "I'm definitely not the same person I used to be. People always change. As the saying goes, 'A red flower becomes redder when it's near a red flower, and a black flower becomes blacker when it's near a black flower.' Lately, under your influence, my morals have become much more refined! By the way, I'll be on duty at the village factory tonight. Director Wang said that I'll officially start work on New Year's Eve."
Chu Xuan stared into Chu Dashan's eyes. "Did anything happen during those few days when you went to the city before the New Year?" (End of this chapter)
