The next morning.
When Aqing arrived at the old house, she saw Wu Anzheng squatting on the ground, washing clothes in a basin of water. She said, "Brother, why are you washing clothes so early in the morning?"
Wu An ignored him.
During this time, he was busy going out to sea, and his sister-in-law washed his clothes. But last night, he had a huge battle with Gu Anran in his dream, so he had to wash them himself this morning.
He couldn't help but marvel at how healthy one's body is in their early twenties.
By his thirties, he was already feeling somewhat powerless.
Wash the clothes and hang them inside the house.
It's right by the window, so the sunlight shines in.
Wash the clothes.
Wu An asked, "Have you eaten?"
Aqing shook her head.
The tide went out early in the morning, and he heard there was a lot of seafood. His mother was called by a neighbor and hurriedly went to go beachcombing. She didn't have time to cook. He came over as soon as he woke up.
"That's perfect, let's go home and take our longline fishing rods to town for a sea trip."
The fishing boats are still in town.
And my luck is pretty good today, with 135 points.
With the opening of the sea, the system has been very helpful, and the number of daily luck points has never dropped to three digits. It's possible that the system didn't give him as many daily luck points before, in case he was afraid of taking risks and making mistakes.
Aqing was very happy.
With longline fishing, the catch will definitely be even greater.
It's better to open the fishing season.
He brings several thousand yuan home every day. His mother doesn't dare leave the money at home; it's just too much. If it gets robbed, she'll be devastated.
These days, life is still unstable. You often hear about thieves in some village who steal not only money, but even the pigs and sheep they raise.
How did you steal it?
Just dig up the wall.
When I woke up the next day, the dog was dead, there was a big hole in the wall, and the livestock had disappeared.
To be fair, even thieves have some skill.
We've gone off on a tangent.
When Wu An arrived at the house, his sister-in-law was washing clothes. There was a washing machine, but she still preferred to hand-wash some of her underwear.
Aqing quickly greeted them.
"The food is all in the pot," the sister-in-law said, glancing up and nodding towards the kitchen.
Even if he doesn't come to eat, his sister-in-law will habitually leave food for him.
If he doesn't come.
That's lunchtime.
Three meals a day, working tirelessly day and night.
"Be careful not to get burned by the steam."
Wu An walked into the kitchen, and his sister-in-law's voice followed closely behind; she seemed to have endless worries.
Eat well.
Wu An looked at the longline fishing rod, which had already been prepared and packed away in a box, even neater than what they had packed. Mei Yueqin said, "Go buy some materials when you have time."
"We can make it at home; there's no need to buy ready-made products outside."
Anyway, my sister-in-law is fine.
Wu An shook his head: "How can there be nothing wrong? You're never free, doing laundry, cooking, feeding chickens and ducks, there are so many things to do both at home and outside."
Mei Yueqin laughed and said, "What's the big deal?"
"It's good to be busy in life."
"Listen to your sister-in-law, even though we can make money now, there's no need to waste money."
Wu An nodded helplessly.
His sister-in-law had said it twice, so he couldn't ignore it.
If I refuse again, I'll hurt my sister-in-law's feelings, and I'm afraid she'll overthink things.
He touched his phone and suddenly remembered the money the Chen family had given him yesterday. He walked into the main room, saw the cloth bag in the corner, and said, "Sister-in-law, the Chen family has lost money."
"They're all here, you can put them away."
As Wu An spoke, he raised the cloth bag.
Mei Yueqin was surprised. She had noticed the cloth bag earlier, but seeing that it was tattered and still lying in the corner, she hadn't paid any attention to it. When she came over to take a look, she found several stacks of money inside.
She widened her eyes and punched Wu An: "You just threw it here yesterday, why didn't you even say anything?"
Wu An scratched his head: "I... forgot yesterday."
His mind was filled with thoughts of Gu Anran.
Beauty has ruined me.
Mei Yueqin counted them; there were fifty thousand in total. She asked, "Why so much?"
Wu An briefly explained the situation and then stuffed the cloth bag into Mei Yueqin's hands.
Mei Yueqin took out 20,000 yuan from inside and said, "This is enough. Keep the rest."
Wu An doesn't want it.
They said that since it was compensation from the Chen family, no matter how much it was, it should be kept by the sister-in-law. Back then, the family paid the money, and even the chickens and ducks were taken away by Wei Zhen.
The two were pulling at each other.
Aqing couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Sister-in-law, just take it if my brother tells you to. It's just a little money, what's the big deal?"
"It's family money after all. Are you treating my brother like an outsider?"
Wu An shouted, "Yes, do you treat me like an outsider?"
Hearing them say that, Mei Yueqin accepted the money. Of course, she was happy, as such a large sum of money would make her family very wealthy.
Mei Yueqin was so happy that she didn't know what to say.
After a while, she became a little worried again: "How could the Chen family be willing to give so much compensation? Won't there be any trouble?"
Wu An shook his head.
With their longline fishing gear in hand, the two rode their motorcycle tricycle straight to town.
noon.
When Wu Yingwei and Wu Ping returned home and heard Mei Yueqin tell them about it, the father and son were astonished, saying that Wu An was really capable, managing to ask for so much extra money.
Mei Yueqin hesitated before asking, "But so much money... should we accept it all?"
Wu Ping looked at Wu Yingwei.
In this family, the old man is naturally the one in charge.
Wu Yingwei thought for a moment and said, "Let's listen to A'an."
"There's nothing to spend money on at home, so we just save it up."
Hearing him say that, Wu Ping and Mei Yueqin nodded, their expressions filled with barely suppressed joy, and even Wu Yingwei had a smile on his face.
Over this period of time, our family savings have reached tens of thousands.
I've never been this rich in my life.
While eating, Mei Yueqin asked curiously, "I heard that Mao Wang has been released?"
Wu Yingwei nodded.
While they ate and chatted, Wu Yingwei, of course, knew the truth behind the scenes, though outsiders might not know.
...
We arrived in town.
Old Mai was also there. After exchanging greetings, the group boarded the boat, conducted a quick inspection, found nothing wrong, started the fishing boat, and set sail.
At the pier, many people couldn't help but take a look when they saw fishing boats still setting sail at this time.
"Why are fishing boats only setting sail at this hour?"
"Let me see what's going on. Oh, it's that kid from Little Creek Village's boat. That's not surprising."
"How so?"
"That kid is protected by the goddess Mazu; he's incredibly lucky."
"A small fishing boat can compete with a trawler in terms of catch. Isn't that impressive?"
"Really?"
"Anyway, that's the only one who goes out to sea at this time. And he always comes back pretty early, with boxes and boxes of fish being unloaded from the boat. What else could it be but the protection of Mazu?"
What does he do?
"I heard it's about setting up fish traps..."
Where do I get off?
"Who knows? Don't ask about it. How could they possibly tell anyone?"
"I didn't mean anything by it, I was just curious."
As the fishing boats sailed away, the people who had been discussing the matter went about their own business.
On the ship.
Old Mai sat down next to Wu An and asked, "What's the current procedure?"
Wu An, who was at the helm, thought for a moment and said, "Let's find a place to do longline fishing first."
"Then I went to find a place to fish."
"In the afternoon, we'll first collect the ground traps, then the longline fishing."
"Old Mike, I'll have to trouble you to help steer the boat then."
Old Mai nodded.
We're already on the "pirate ship," what else is there to say?
Actually, he was quite happy to go out to sea with Wu An. After all, he wasn't working for free; the fish he caught would still be his personal property.
Wu An looked up at the sky, which appeared somewhat gloomy.
According to the weather forecast, the weather is about to change.
