The matter has been settled.
Wu An divided the money.
Aqing, Meiwu, and Lao Futou.
Received the money.
Everyone was very happy.
Ah Qing rubbed her hands together; "Brother, if only the sea turtle could lead us to find ambergris."
Wu An nodded.
Last time he asked a sea turtle to take him there, but the sea turtle ignored him.
He wasn't sure either.
But you can give it a try; if you encounter a sea turtle in the future, you can ask it.
What if there's a smart one?
Old Fu also said that the three pieces of ambergris he obtained looked like they were bitten off from a large piece of ambergris by a sea turtle, and Old Zhang also said that they were the same piece.
He almost got implicated and was misunderstood by Elder Zhang as the one who did it.
It's mainly valuable.
Three such small pieces sold for over 200,000 yuan. If it were a large piece, weighing several kilograms or even dozens of kilograms, it could easily sell for several million yuan.
That's much better than working hard fishing and earning tens of thousands of yuan.
Money can be a powerful motivator.
Once they've tasted the benefits, it's hard for them not to be tempted.
Old Fu lit another cigarette and said, "We can't rely on luck."
Wu An smiled, knowing that Old Fu was referring to him, and said, "That's right."
"If we can meet, we will."
"We cannot force it, but we cannot lose sight of the bigger picture for the sake of small gains."
Old Fu nodded with a smile.
Old Fu changed the subject and said, "Ah An, about the thing you asked me to inquire about, I asked a few reliable people, and none of them are willing to switch jobs."
Wu An nodded.
normal.
Old Fu believed that those who were reliable were honest and dependable, and were not willing to move easily.
Wu An said, "Alright, we won't force you."
The shipyard's progress is not very fast.
This trip to the shipyard also yielded some good news.
Because of rising steel prices, he signed a contract, and within a few days, the cost of the fishing boat increased by one-tenth.
The current trend suggests that prices will continue to rise.
After all that, Wu An could save at least tens of thousands of yuan from this ship. Manager Wang also said that if Wu An was willing to sell, he could act as a go-between.
Wu An did not agree.
This little bit of money is nothing. Once the trawler goes out to sea, it might be able to earn back the cost of the trawler in just a few trips.
Since we've already gone, let's go.
He kept urging Manager Wang to hurry up and meet the deadline.
He was recruiting for trawlers, so he couldn't be as unrestricted as he is now. The most basic requirement was that they be experienced boatmen; novices and novices were not to be hired at all.
Aqing and Meiwu couldn't offer much help, but Old Fu said he was helping to find them.
This kind of poaching has to be done discreetly.
The four chatted for a while before Mei Yueqin called to invite them to dinner, at which point they got up and went out.
I just stepped out of the house.
The wind outside was blowing my hair and clothes wildly.
The old house is near the sea.
The wind is so strong it can blow a person away.
Looking towards the breakwater, the waves are surging and the sound of the waves is like thunder, which is quite awe-inspiring.
Old Fu rode away on his bicycle, but Mei Wu didn't leave; he followed Wu An home.
Arrive at the alley entrance.
Aqing took off running towards his house.
We arrived home.
The food and drinks were already on the table. The main dish was braised pork trotters, stewed with soybeans. It looked so sticky and juicy, it looked like it was overflowing with collagen.
The soup is pig's feet soup.
Mei Wu wasn't too happy; he didn't like eating such greasy food.
Mei Yueqin tapped him with her chopsticks and said, "You're always at sea, not eating or sleeping well."
"Now that I've finally managed to rest at home for a few days, I need to make sure I get some rest."
"It was originally meant to nourish Aqing."
"Since you're here, let's have a drink together."
Mei Wu remained silent.
She's still my sister, it's just that the closeness isn't as obvious anymore.
Guests have come to visit.
Wu Yingwei returned quite early as well.
These past few days, all the village affairs have fallen on his shoulders, and he's about to become a true "Xiaoxi Village Weightlifting Champion".
Wu An sold the ambergris for 200,000 yuan and talked about how he split the profits with everyone.
Wu Yingwei took a sip of wine and nodded slightly.
Mei Yueqin was overjoyed to hear that they had made so much money: "Why didn't you say so sooner? I should have prepared a couple more dishes to celebrate properly."
Wu An looked at the pile of pig's feet in the bowl and said, "Sister-in-law, that's enough, that's enough."
Mei Wu still had to ride his bike home later, so he didn't drink much.
After the show ended.
Mei Wu rode his bicycle home.
Wu An returned to the old house and focused on chatting with Gu Anran.
Although Gu Anran didn't say anything, he could tell that she wasn't in a good mood. With Gu Jianfa making such a scene, who knows what kind of trouble might follow.
Even if I could manage it, just thinking about it gives me a headache.
Wu An asked her to go to town the next day.
Nothing else, just practicing driving.
He messaged Old Mai to borrow his car for practice driving, and in return, he accompanied Old Mai fishing.
Since I'm just killing time anyway, I might as well go fishing.
We chatted for a long time.
We said goodnight to each other when we were tired.
I woke up as usual the next morning.
The weather outside was gloomy, the wind was getting stronger, and rain was blowing in.
Wu An went home for a meal and said he would be going to town later and wouldn't be back for lunch. Seeing that his sister-in-law was about to nag him, he quickly said that he was going to keep Gu Anran company.
It's windy and rainy.
It's quite troublesome.
In this kind of weather, most people stay at home, and there are hardly any people walking around on the streets of town.
After arriving in town.
Mei Wen was still in the shop, working inside. It was raining outside, but it didn't affect the interior decoration. Wu An had nothing better to do, so he chatted with the decoration team and offered some of his opinions on the details.
Wait for Old Mike to drive over.
They practiced driving in the open space next door.
Wu An had a driver's license in his previous life, but he didn't drive often. After being reborn, he hadn't touched a car for a long time, but he got into the swing of things after practicing for a while.
Gu Anran, on the other hand, encountered numerous problems.
Sitting in the driver's seat, my hands, feet, and body were shaking. When I stopped the car, my fingers were so stiff they wouldn't move.
Common mistakes of beginners.
Just practice more.
Getting the license is easy, but if her skills aren't up to par, Wu An won't let her drive on the road.
Gu Anran got out of the car, her legs were weak and her hands were trembling, and she even wondered if she was an idiot.
noon.
Unable to refuse Old Mai's hospitality, the two went over for a meal.
When Mai Hangyu saw him, he wanted to report on his work.
There's also Li Xin, who's in charge of the design. He's Professor Fan's student and also Mai Hangyu's friend, and he's specifically in charge of this homestay project.
When Mai Hangyu needs to report on his work, he's definitely indispensable.
Li Xin kept calling him "General Manager Wu" in a very obsequious manner.
Wu An saw that Gu Anran was also there, so he asked her to find the design drafts of the large villa and show them to Gu Anran.
"This is our wedding room, please give us your opinions."
"Once the design is finalized, I'm going to go to the city to find a construction company."
"Time is tight and the task is heavy."
Why?
The two can only get married after the house is built.
Gu Anran looked at it and felt a little dizzy.
This house is way too big.
She asked, "The wedding room?"
Wu An nodded.
Gu Anran said, "This house is too big. If it's just the two of us living here, I'll have to spend half a day cleaning it every day."
"Moreover, this is marble, this is sintered stone... these must be some kind of high-end material, right?"
"I heard that these different walls and floors require different cleaning methods..."
Wu An felt increasingly uneasy listening to this, and quickly stopped him, saying, "Why are you thinking so much?"
"I married you not so you could be a housekeeper."
"Don't worry, you don't need to worry about these things."
"So you're still planning to hire someone to clean? No need, it's unnecessary," Gu Anran said. "I think I can manage, don't believe me..."
Wu An quickly pressed down Gu Anran, who was eager to show off her abilities, and was somewhat amused and exasperated.
A woman who is too virtuous is also no good.
