Chapter 019 Big Boat, Small Fish
At first, I just felt that I was not familiar with Lin Wanxia, so I didn’t want to owe her a favor. I thought that if I asked Lin Wanxia to help take care of the child for one or two days occasionally, I should give her enough money .
Who would have thought that this time I would be away for twenty days.
Of course, leaving the child to a strange, poor, unmarried girl, I should give her more money as compensation.
"No!" Xingxing struggled in Jiang Sinian's hand, "I want to find Lin Wanxia!"
Jiang Sinian: "..."
Xingxing has always lived a life of sleeping in one house and waking up in the other, and he always leaves when he says he will.
This is the first time Jiang Sinian has seen him rely on someone so much.
However, he still resolutely carried Xingxing into the house to pack his luggage, "Wait until your father makes enough money before you change the money!"
Twenty yuan a day, it's too much to change.

Lin Wanxia arrived at the port and saw Lei Yanjun standing on tiptoe outside the crowd and looking inside. She patted him and said, "What are you doing here?" Lei
Yanjun turned around and saw that it was Lin Wanxia. He pointed inside and said, "This is the largest ship in our island city. Everyone is curious about how many fish a ship with such a large displacement can catch after going out to sea for half a month. It would be great if I could have a share."
"Then let's go! Let's share." Lin Wanxia grabbed Lei Yanjun and went into the crowd.
"Don't make a fuss!" Lei Yanjun retreated, "These few words in my pocket can't even buy a net of fish from them." It would be embarrassing if she didn't go in.
"Don't be afraid! At least one of the fish in the net is mine." Lin Wanxia continued to walk forward.
Jiang Sinian still owed her two hundred and seventy yuan!
Seeing Lin Wanxia so confident, Lei Yanjun immediately followed.
"What is your relationship with the owner of this ship? I noticed it when this boat came to our dock. This boat is not like an ordinary fishing boat, but more like an official ship. Look at both sides, there are holes for weapons..."
Lin Wanxia's heart moved when she heard it, and she looked at the fishing boat. No wonder she felt familiar when she visited the fishing boat last time.
This ship is probably either a police ship or a military ship.
Jiang Sinian is a soldier, so this should be a military ship, right?
However, since Jiang Sinian can use it as a fishing boat, it is most likely a retired ship.
Chen Bin, who was directing the unloading of the ship, was stunned when he saw Lin Wanxia, "Lin Wanxia? Why are you here?"
"This is my boat after all, right? Why can't I come?" Lin Wanxia replied with a smile.
In the eyes of outsiders, she and Jiang Sinian are a couple, and Jiang Sinian's boat is her boat.
Chen Bin knew they were a fake couple, but he couldn't expose them. He could only watch Lin Wanxia board the boat.
Soon, a quarrel broke out on the boat.
Chen Bin hurriedly ran aboard.
He saw Lin Wanxia fighting with the boatman he hired for a basket of crabs.
"What's going on?"
"Boss Chen, we filled the baskets according to your requirements and were moving them downstairs! This girl suddenly rushed out and said she wanted this basket of crabs! Not only crabs..." The boatman pointed at the baskets of seafood classified in categories at his feet with a bitter face, "She also wants this basket of big yellow croaker, this basket of big grouper and..."
Chen Bin was stunned for a moment, "What do you want so much seafood for? If you want to eat it, you can leave some. If you leave too much, it will go bad."
Lin Wanxia pulled Chen Bin aside and told him the truth, "You know very well about our fake marriage. I helped Jiang Sinian take care of the children when you went out to sea, and he promised to give me 20 yuan a day for a nanny fee and living expenses were calculated separately. You went out to sea for 20 days, and he owed me more than 400 yuan. Now he can't pay it back, so he said he would use seafood to pay the debt."
Chen Bin: "..."
For a moment, he didn't know whether to complain about Lin Wanxia, the "expensive nanny" or Jiang Sinian's way of shirking the responsibility.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Bin discussed with Lin Wanxia, "How about this, I process the goods and give them to you in cash?"
Lin Wanxia shook her head, "I think it's a good idea to have the goods."
The price of seafood for credit must be lower than the market price, and she can make more money from the price difference.
Chen Bin didn't say much, and even felt embarrassed to compete with Lin Wanxia for seafood.
The seafood caught in the net was big and small, good and bad.
With Lei Yanjun's help, Lin Wanxia specifically grabbed the big and good seafood, which made Chen Bin so angry that he cursed in his heart.
Curse Jiang Sinian's mother.
Lin Wanxia picked a total of four baskets, one basket of large yellow croaker, one basket of grouper, one basket of crabs, one basket of Spanish mackerel, one basket of hairtail, one basket of cuttlefish, and one basket of cod. Large yellow croakers cost 200 yuan each, and a basket of 50 jins cost
exactly 100 yuan. Spanish mackerel weighing more than 2 jins cost 160 yuan each, hairtail weighing more than 8 liangs cost 120 yuan each, cuttlefish weighing more than half a jin cost 70 yuan each, and cod cost 150 yuan each. The baskets of seafood were of different sizes and weights, and a total of 335 yuan was sold, as well as a basket of crabs and a few squids. Lin Wanxia kept the crabs and squids for herself to eat in the evening. She counted out 269 of the 335 and put them in her left pocket, and put the rest in her right pocket to return to Jiang Sinian when she got back. Lin Wanxia said goodbye to Lei Yanjun, but Lei Yanjun looked at the boat thoughtfully and didn't hear her voice at all. Lin Wanxia waved in front of Lei Yanjun to call back his senses, "What are you looking at? There aren't many fish on that boat. Didn't we give you all the good ones? What are you still thinking about?" Lei Yanjun shook his head, "I'm confused because there's nothing left on the boat. You see, Chen Bin's boat is 30 tons, and he brings back goods by tons every time he comes back. Your boat must be about 100 tons, right? We should have at least one-third of these." Lin Wanxia didn't think much about it, "Maybe they unloaded some of it in advance? Or Jiang Sinian and his crew were not familiar with the sea conditions as it was their first time going out to sea. " Lei Yanjun still shook his head, "I watched the boat approach the shore, and they didn't unload much. I've noticed your boat coming and going. When we went out, it was the head boat, and when we came back, it was the tail boat. I don't know if there is a compass on the boat, but your boatmen all look like good sailors. Now is the season with lots of fish, and Chen Bin is leading the way. You shouldn't have caught so few fish anyway." Lin Wanxia's eyes flickered, and she said a few words and turned back to go home. After walking a few steps, she went back to the town and bought two pounds of pork belly, two pounds of mutton, some seasonings, and a light bulb. She unloaded the light bulb at home to hatch the chicks. Lin Youzhi was particularly bad, and even took the hen away. Lin Wanxia looked into the sun and saw that the eggs had all turned into hairy eggs. She could only use light bulbs to hatch the chicks.
Xingxing was particularly interested in this matter, and would go to watch when she had nothing to do.

When Jiang Sinian led Xingxing back, the sky was already full of stars.
When they were almost at the gate of the courtyard, Xingxing sniffed, "What a nice smell!"
Jiang Sinian also smelled it, the aroma of meat and the freshness of seafood.
"Lin Wanxia, you ate well behind my back!" Xingxing shouted and jumped out.
Jiang Sinian stretched out his hand but missed it, frowning.
Xingxing and Lin Wanxia's relationship is a bit strange.
Say kiss! Xingxing called Lin Wanxia by her full name. Say no kiss? Xingxing now starts looking for Lin Wanxia if she hasn't seen her for more than ten minutes, and she can't stop talking about Lin Wanxia.
The breeze brought Lin Wanxia's light rebuke: "Go wash your hands first! Otherwise, I'll pour out the crabs and feed them to the dog instead of giving them to you."
Jiang Sinian: "..."
This is probably no kiss, right? !
