Fu Ming also strongly agreed with Fu Wan's suggestion.
"Yes, Dad, I agree to buy the boat first, and we can build the house when I get married!"
"Then you drive one, I drive one, and A-Wan will drive another one. How cool would that be, hahaha!"
The booming laughter was especially loud at night, so loud that even the sleeping spirit in the room turned over, smacked its lips a couple of times, and fell asleep again.
Ye Xiaocui happened to go into the house to get something and saw that Fu Ming's commotion almost woke Fu Ling up, so she immediately started cursing in a low voice.
"Are you trying to get yourself killed? Why are you making such a loud noise? Is that sea yours? I'll give you one ship back and I'll give you one ship back. Do you think diesel engines are free?!"
Fu Ming's beautiful dream was shattered by his own mother, and he reluctantly shut his mouth.
Does he not know that this is wishful thinking? Isn't this just empty talk?
Fu Wan, however, felt that her older brother was ambitious. "Father and Mother, let's get a boat first. We'll go to the shipyard tomorrow and ask. If we can't afford a new one, we can buy an old one."
Fu Laoda frowned and pondered for two minutes, then looked at his wife.
Ye Xiaocui has the authority to make decisions on all matters, big and small, in the family; it's not a one-man show.
Fu Wan and Fu Ming also looked at their mother, especially Fu Ming, whose eyes were practically overflowing with anticipation.
Ye Xiaocui looked somewhat embarrassed when she saw her husband and two children looking at her.
"What...what are you doing! If you want to buy it, just buy it, why are you looking at me like this!"
Am I a ship seller or a shipbuilder?
Okay, that means you agree.
Fu Ming and Fu Wan were relieved, and Boss Fu made a decision directly.
"Tomorrow we'll go to the shipyard to ask, and then we'll ask the village chief to see if there are any families selling boats near our village."
A new boat costs at least ten thousand dollars, while a used boat costs at most a few thousand dollars.
If they buy a new ship, they can only pay a deposit first, and then they will earn the balance once the ship is built.
Boss Fu is confident in this much.
However, the Fu family didn't care about the old ship, since the new ship had only been launched recently, so it was still considered an old ship.
After the brief family meeting, Fu Ming and Fu Wan went back to their room to sleep.
After washing up, Ye Xiaocui returned to her room and was about to rest when she remembered something else.
How much money do you have at home right now?
Fu Laoda glanced at his savings book. After deducting household expenses from the previous few trips to sea, he still had more than 4,500 yuan left.
"Four thousand or so can at most buy a used boat, I don't know if it's even enough for a deposit on a new boat?"
Ye Xiaocui frowned. Fu Ming and Fu Wan had been talking so happily, but in reality, her family hadn't earned much lately. After deducting what they gave to Fu Liang's family, there wasn't much left.
"How about we postpone buying the boat?"
Fu Laoda shook his head, "You forgot, we still have so many bird's nests that haven't been sold yet. Let's see how they are after we sell them. If all else fails, I'll ask Lao San for some."
Ye Xiaocui's brows remained furrowed. "You have to wear shoes that fit your feet. You always have to pay back the money you borrow."
Boss Fu put the passbook back into the crack in the stone in the corner of the wall. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
“Our family’s life is getting better and better. Once Ah Ming and I go out fishing more often, I guarantee we’ll make it back right away.”
Looking at her husband's confident appearance, Ye Xiaocui realized that Fu Laoda was actually very handsome, with regular features and a tall and strong build; otherwise, she wouldn't have married him from so far away.
“Okay, I’ll go with you when we buy the boat, and I can lend a hand.”
The couple discussed it and, seeing that it was getting late and they were tired, they simply fanned themselves with palm-leaf fans and drifted off to sleep.
...
The next morning, just after Fu Laoda's family had finished breakfast, Aunt Jiang and Fu Liang knocked on the gate of Fu Laoda's courtyard.
Ye Xiaocui quickly called people in and urged Fu Ming and Fu Wan to tidy up.
"Hurry up, hurry up, the shuttle bus will be leaving soon."
Fu Ming quickly changed into clothes that he could go out in public. "Mom, don't rush me. The bus won't arrive at the village entrance until 7:30, and it's only a little before 7:00 now."
Ye Xiaocui didn't expect this guy to still have the mood to say these things, and directly scolded, "You're a grown man, dawdling like this! Your sister needs to pack two people's things, what are you doing! Dragging your feet for so long!"
"People always wait for cars, so why would a car wait for you?"
After scolding him, he gave Fu Liang and Aunt Jiang an awkward smile, "This kid can't stand a day without being scolded."
Fu Ming rolled his eyes inside, packed up all his savings, and then quickly pulled his niece out.
At this time, there were quite a few villagers waiting at the village entrance. Some were going to the town market to buy some small fish and shrimp that they had dried themselves and try their luck.
Some, like Fu Wan and others, went to the Mazu Temple to pray.
Seeing that Fu Laoda's family was dressed so neatly, some people in the village started to gossip.
"The Fu family is dressed like wealthy landlords. Have they really made a fortune?"
"We definitely made money. I heard we made about that much from that moonfish!"
After saying that, the woman held up the number five, and the people around her were extremely envious. "Five hundred! That's too much!"
"What kind of look is that? This is five thousand!"
The people around were so shocked that their mouths were agape.
Fu Wan walked beside her daughter, holding her hand. Strangely enough, her hearing had become unusually sharp lately, allowing her to hear people talking from afar.
"Aunt Wang, who told you my family made five thousand from selling moonfish? Are you going to give me that five thousand?"
This morning, Wang Zhaodi was thinking of going to the town market to buy some meat to cook for her son, but little did she know that Fu Wan would overhear her gossip behind her back.
Damn it, how could she hear that from so far away? How can her ears be so powerful!
Wang Zhaodi blushed under everyone's gaze, and said defiantly, "My Fu Qiang said that Boss Xue did give you five thousand!"
"Then I'll have to ask Comrade Xue Qing next time I run into him. He still owes me several thousand yuan, and I can't let him renege on his debt!"
Boss Fu and the others caught up at this moment. "Awan, what happened?"
Fu Lao Er, who was standing to the side, didn't stand idly by and quickly stepped forward to reply, "It's nothing, it's nothing. She's still half asleep and talking nonsense!"
After saying that, he pulled Wang Zhaodi to stand aside.
Seeing Wang Zhaodi and Fu Lao Er's behavior, everyone was speechless at Wang Zhaodi's nonsensical nature.
Wang Zhaodi wanted to argue back and save face, but the flesh on her arm that Fu Lao Er was twisting was really painful.
"Let go, let go, what are you doing!"
Fu Lao Er was furious when he saw her stupid look. "Don't cause me any more trouble! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll make sure you go back to your parents' house!"
Wang Zhaodi was a little scared, and she secretly resented her husband for being so useless, acting like a mouse in front of a cat whenever he saw Boss Fu.
Fu Lao Er was truly wronged. Ever since he was frightened by Fu Lao Da last time, he has always avoided Fu Lao Da.
If he hadn't kept his eyes straight ahead and avoided looking at Boss Fu when they just bumped into each other, he probably wouldn't have been able to control himself.
He's pooped and peed again!
