The next day, Boss Fu and Ye Xiaocui went to the dock early in the morning to buy some small fish and shrimp as bait for longline fishing.
"Honey, why is that Second Brother Fu staring at you like that?"
Ye Xiaocui bought a few cents' worth of small fish and shrimp, and then saw Fu Lao Er hiding not far away, glancing at Fu Lao Da beside her from time to time.
When Boss Fu glanced over, Boss Fu was so frightened that Boss Fu quickly turned around.
"Never mind him."
He lost interest in dealing with this half-brother more than a decade ago.
He's a cowardly coward who's afraid of death; I doubt he'd dare to do anything underhanded.
Sure enough, the next second, Fu Lao Er was so frightened by Fu Lao Da's glance that he broke out in a cold sweat. Seeing that Fu Lao Da and his wife were getting closer and closer to him, he hurriedly turned around and ran into the alley.
Ye Xiaocui was completely puzzled, thinking to herself that she didn't look that fierce!
At this point, Fu Lao Er didn't care about losing face anymore. All he could think about was how unreliable the doctors at that hospital were!
You should take a look at Boss Fu and see what kind of desensitization treatment he does.
This isn't desensitization therapy at all. Whenever he meets Boss Fu's gaze, he subconsciously wants to go to the toilet.
He was about to lose control of his urgent need for urination!
After Fu Laoda and Ye Xiaocui finished shopping and returned home, Ye Jianguo and his son Ye Lin were busy in the yard with Fu Liang and Fu Ming.
Several people were chopping wood and shaving bamboo.
Fu Wan and Jiang Chunlan cleaned out all the fishing nets in their house and checked them for any holes.
Otherwise, if we encounter a school of fish but the fishing net is faulty, wouldn't we be furious on the boat?
Fu Lao Er rushed into his own outhouse like a gust of wind. Wang Zhaodi happened to be returning from her own private plot of land. Seeing her husband running so fast, she couldn't help but wonder.
This person goes to the outhouse every day, but there's no gold or silver jewelry in there.
Fu Qiang had been restless at home for the past few days and wanted to sneak out today to find out about Xue Qing.
He hasn't dared to show his face in front of the villagers lately, for fear that someone will ask him for the wages he earned from going to sea a while ago.
Seeing that Xue Qing hadn't come to the village for a while, Fu Lao Er and Wang Zhao Di couldn't bring him any useful information.
He was so anxious!
Just then, someone knocked on his courtyard gate. He panicked, thinking it was a villager coming to ask for money.
"Open the door! Open the door! Are Mom and Dad home?"
Hearing a somewhat familiar voice, which was clearly not from the village, Fu Qiang went up and opened the door.
"Gangzi?"
The person who came was Fu Gang, who hadn't been home for a long time.
Grandma Wang was mending clothes in her room when she heard the commotion in the yard and quickly came out.
"Gangzi is back?"
When Grandma Wang saw the bags Fu Gang was carrying, a genuine smile finally appeared on her face.
"Grandma, I've come back to see you."
Where is your wife?
Old Mrs. Wang was not easily fooled. Seeing that Fu Gang was all alone, her old face turned a little ugly.
"Is your wife disgusted with our family? She hasn't come back."
Fu Gang quickly waved his hand to explain, "Grandma, Hongmei is pregnant and is resting at home! The road is full of potholes, so I didn't let her come along."
After saying that, he stuffed the things in his hand into Old Lady Wang's hands.
"These are the fish and pork that Hongmei asked me to bring back. She misses you all so much!"
Grandma Wang nodded, but before she could say anything more, Fu Qiang interrupted her.
"Gangzi, you can afford a bicycle now?!"
Fu Qiang had already set his sights on the bicycle behind Fu Gang.
This is a pretty good 28-inch bicycle. Even if it's not very new, it's still very attractive to Fu Qiang.
Fu Gang felt a pang of displeasure upon seeing the greed on Fu Qiang's face.
There was a hint of impatience in his eyes.
His smile faded, and he gave a dry laugh.
“Hongmei borrowed this from the village because she was worried that it would be hard for me to walk back.”
Borrowed?
Fu Qiang's joy vanished instantly, and Old Lady Wang also looked somewhat regretful.
If it were Fu Gang's car, that would be great. He could give it to Qiangzi, and that would make it easier for him to find a wife later.
Seeing that neither of them intended to let him in, Fu Gang simply carried his things into the house himself.
As he walked, he didn't forget to ask about his family, "Where are Father and Mother? Where's Fu Shi? Did they go out to work?"
When the topic of talismans came up, Fu Qiang looked somewhat embarrassed, and Old Lady Wang also snorted coldly.
"That beast has long since severed ties with this family and moved out!"
Fu Gang never expected that in just over two months since he hadn't been home, his younger brother Fu Shi had already been relocated.
However, he also had some concerns: "Where will he live? Did his parents build him a house?"
He himself found these words absurd. If the topic was houses, this person would be Fu Qiang, not Fu Shi.
"Who cares where he lives? He's a spoiled brat who's become arrogant and disobedient. He deserves to live in a latrine!"
Seeing that Old Lady Wang was getting angry, Fu Gang didn't say anything more, since his purpose in coming back today wasn't related to Fu Shi.
Just then, Wang Zhaodi carried a hoe into the house. She was still wondering why Fu Lao Er kept going to the outhouse when she entered and found a bicycle parked in front of her house.
Did I go into the wrong room?
She stepped outside and looked up at the courtyard gate. Yes, it was still that dilapidated gate.
"mother?"
Wang Zhaodi instinctively responded, but then realized it didn't sound like Fu Qiang's voice, so she looked up and saw Fu Gang standing in the room.
"Gangzi, why are you back!"
...
The eldest son's family certainly didn't know what happened in the second son's family.
They packed their things and began loading them onto the two boats.
The day before, we made a lot of money at sea.
The total weight of the smokefish was 164.4 jin, at 8 mao per jin, earning a profit of 131.5 yuan; the total weight of the flounder was 181.2 jin, at 9.5 yuan per jin, earning a total of 172.1 yuan; the total weight of the mantis shrimp was 126 jin, at 8.3 yuan per jin, earning a total of 104.5 yuan; the grouper consisted of tiger grouper and red grouper, totaling 81.8 jin, which Fu San directly calculated at 1.3 yuan per jin, earning a total of 106.3 yuan.
There were also geoduck clams, totaling 198.2 jin, at 6 mao per jin, earning 118.9 yuan; large yellow croaker, totaling 390.8 jin, at 10.5 yuan per jin, earning 4103.4 yuan; mud crabs, swimming crabs, and octopus and other miscellaneous items, totaling 120 jin, earning 96 yuan.
Finally, Fu San calculated the bill for Fu Laoda. They made a total of 4832.7 mao on this trip of fish. As a businessman, Fu San naturally cared about good luck, so he simply dropped the 7 at the end. He also thought 3 and 4 sounded bad, so he gave Fu Laoda 4836.
Boss Fu didn't argue with him about the few dollars. Seeing Fu San's wrinkles deepening with laughter, he knew that this guy had made quite a bit of money.
"Big brother, are you going out to sea again today? I'll have Fu Shi send two people to carry the fish baskets and ice over there for you. I'll be waiting for you at the dock when you come back!"
