Chapter 107 Typhoon Day
Chen Wenjun sat up suddenly, a little dazed. He got down to bed in a daze, put on his slippers, opened the bamboo curtain, and was instantly awakened by the sky outside. "What the hell! What time is it now?"
"It's only two o'clock." Lin Qin walked behind Chen Wenjun, her face a little solemn, "With such a strong wind, do you think it will affect our family?"
Chen Wenjun immediately turned around and held her in his arms, "Don't be afraid, we built a reinforced concrete house, the foundation is so high, what impact can it have?"
Lin Qin thought about it carefully and realized that this was true, so he felt relieved.
It’s just that cooking in their family is more troublesome, so they have to move dry firewood into the house and use the stove that Lin Yi doesn’t want to dirty.
Lin Qin was quite open-minded and advised, "Dad! The kitchen is tiled. We'll only use it for two days. It won't be a problem."
Lin Yi said nothing, and took out a piece of meat and a fish from the refrigerator. "We're having sweet potato porridge with bacon and steamed fish tonight?"
Lin Qin nodded.
When Lin Yi was at home, he would take on the cooking work. He was a soft-hearted person and had no reason to ask for anything.
Because of the bad weather, it was dark before five o'clock. The wind was howling outside, and raindrops as big as beans hit the glass windows in bursts, which was particularly scary.
After dinner, the whole family had no intention of watching TV. They just sat together and played cards for a while before going back to their rooms.
Huang Yuezhen was worried about Hong Weimin and was very troubled.
Lin Qin comforted her, "Don't worry, cousin. People on the coast are more sensitive to typhoons than we are. My cousin works for them, so they will be responsible for him. Maybe they will rest in the morning."
Chen Wenjun nodded. "Aqin is right. My cousin reminded me when I went to get the goods this morning. He said the weather at sea had changed and told me not to go out casually. I guess he has gone to bed a long time ago. The staff dormitory at Brother Lu's place is not bad. The conditions are not as good as ours, but they are all stone houses and can withstand typhoons."
Huang Yuezhen breathed a sigh of relief, and her back looked much more relaxed as she walked back into the house.
Lin Yi boiled water for the two children to bathe.
While washing, she said happily: "This big house is good. No matter how bad the weather is outside, it won't affect us if we stay inside."
Lin Qin and his wife laughed along.
When we went upstairs to sleep, the two children made a fuss again, saying that they were scared and didn't dare to sleep alone.
In the end, everyone came over to squeeze in with Lin Qin and his wife.
Fortunately, the bed is 1.8 meters wide, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to squeeze in.
That night, the whole family gradually fell asleep in the howling wind.
I slept until around seven the next day. The wind outside was still very strong and the rain was neither heavy nor light. But in this kind of heavy rain, an umbrella was useless and I couldn't go out.
After Lin Qin took the two children downstairs to eat, she sent them to study.
Huang Yuezhen and Lin Yi braved the heavy rain to go to the fields to harvest a batch of mature vegetables, and at the same time fixed the fruit tree seedlings that were about to fall over.
This busy work took most of the day.
The wind finally died down at this time. Although it was still raining, we could go out.
Chen Wenjun didn't want to miss such a good opportunity, so he decided to use a net to catch river eels.
When Lin Yi heard this, he immediately followed.
The two of them didn't return until after ten o'clock in the evening, and they brought back a whole boatload of river fish, including eels, bamboo fish, black fish, bighead carp, silver carp, crucian carp, etc., both big and small.
Lin Yi was very excited. "Wen Jun and I have discussed it. We will go to collect the nets at around 3 a.m. and then go to Nangang. We don't know if there will be any fishing boats out to sea tonight."
Lin Qin was shocked. "Are you crazy? Are you really going to fight to such a great lengths?"
Then she looked up at the sky. The wind had stopped and the rain had ceased. The dark clouds that had been pressing down on her head had dispersed at some point. It was likely that tomorrow would be a good day.
With the situation here, the seaside must have cleared up long ago, and there will definitely be many fishing boats going out to sea tonight.
Chen Wenjun knows this matter better.
He quickly brought the fish into the yard, took a quick cold shower, and lay down to fall asleep.
Lin Yi slowed down a bit.
After they lay down, Lin Qin helped to clean up the mess, sorting the fish into categories, leaving some for their own consumption and releasing another batch.
Some also need to be prepared for Huang Yuezhen to take to the construction site.
It was already past midnight when I finished the work.
The next day, when Lin Qin woke up, it was already past seven o'clock.
The house was empty.
However, there were several more buckets of river eels.
Lin Qin tidied up.
Chen Wenjun came back at noon and sent most of the river eels to Guoxing Hotel.
I came back so tired that I couldn't even open my eyes.
Lin Qin felt so distressed that she quickly asked him to go to bed.
I slept until four o'clock.
When Chen Wenjun woke up, he felt like he was alive again. He went downstairs and prepared to go out again.
Lin Qin stopped him and insisted that he eat. "We are here to make money, not to risk our lives. How can we work so hard?"
Chen Wenjun's eyes fell on Lin Qin's belly and he smiled innocently, "Listen to my wife, I tell you, this typhoon has brought up many big deep-sea fish.
When we went to the beach in the early morning, wow! My dad and I saw it. Have you ever seen a giant shark? It was this big.
Chen Wenjun did not forget to gesture exaggeratedly while eating.
Lin Qin was amazed when she heard this, "Didn't those fishermen get rich?"
Chen Wenjun took a big mouthful of rice and was very excited. "That's right! There are also big yellow croakers, frog fish, and many others that I can't name. I also bought some in bulk this time. Guoxing bought them all. Just this morning's trip, we made a net profit of 500.
The fish caught last night can be sold for 100 or 200 yuan, and I can make a fortune in the evening. Although it is hard work today, it is enough to make a year's income."
"I can't argue with you!" Lin Qin shook his head helplessly.
She waited until Chen Wenjun left before returning to her room to count the money from the morning and keep track of the accounts.
Their family now earns several hundred yuan every day. In just half a year, the family assets have reached tens of thousands. Even after buying two big items, they are still very wealthy.
Lin Qin was thinking about buying a few more stores.
Things like stores will remain valuable for the next thirty or forty years. Even if you don't use them yourself, you can rent them out and not lose money.
I have an idea in my mind.
Lin Qin often went out for a stroll, occasionally going to Friendship Square, and then walking around the streets. After strolling for half a month, she had her eyes on four stores.
One was on the street where the Liu family lived, some distance away from the Liu family. There was a primary school nearby. If she remembered correctly, that area would be developed in ten years and would be a prime location in the city center.
Twenty or thirty years later, a store there would cost at least 50,000 yuan per square meter, but now a store of about 60 square meters costs 4,000 yuan.
The second one is on the ancient street, which will be developed into an ancient city in the future. The value of the shops inside will increase several times. Now the ancient street is a dilapidated residential area, and the shops are all illegal buildings. If she wants to buy one, she has to buy someone else's house. A two-story ancient house courtyard is priced at about three thousand.
The third one is in a village near the municipal experimental primary school. This is considered the urban area, but there is no plan for construction at the moment, so you can only buy other people’s houses. A farmhouse of 50 to 60 square meters costs about 1,200 yuan.
