Chapter 051 Between you two, does it make any difference who writes the IOU and who acts as the guarantor?
Jiang Sinian was obviously stunned. It was the first time he heard such an argument.
Whether it was his parents when he was young or the parents he met in the family compound when he grew up, everyone did this.
Often when others buy toys for their children, they would educate their children in this way, in order to let the children know that money should not be spent indiscriminately, and they should not trouble others.
No one has ever said that doing so is called "disappointing."
It was a very fresh argument. I wanted to refute it, but I felt it made a lot of sense.
This was not the first time Jiang Sinian had dealt with Lin Wanxia. He knew that she had her own way of education. Whether he agreed with it or not, he expressed respect for it. "Thank you for the reminder. I will pay attention next time."
However, he didn't know anything when he became a father for the first time. Why did Lin Wanxia, an unmarried girl, know so much?
Lin Wanxia: “…”
Jiang Sinian’s attitude of admitting his mistakes was quick and good, but he always gave her the feeling of “I was wrong, but I won’t change.”
However, she had said this too many times, and some of the workers had already lowered their heads to look over. Lin Wanxia couldn’t say anything more, so she put the purchased materials aside and planned to boil water and cook.
People in the 1980s were still relatively simple. When they saw someone had a “big project” such as building a wall, repairing a house, or repairing a boat, they would spontaneously come to help, and even bring their own family business. It’s different
from the new century, where prices are clearly marked, and neighbors have to quote a price before helping out, and they only talk about money and not feelings.
It’s hard to say which one is better, we can only say that different times have different interpersonal relationships.
They are so self-conscious, and as the head of the family, you have to take care of the meals, wine, and cigarettes.
Lin Wanxia was a little worried. She didn't have enough food for more than ten people here, and it was too late to go buy some now.
Jiang Sinian followed into the house, hesitated for a moment, and still spoke: "We are far away and it is inconvenient to go back and forth, so we bought some vegetables in the car, and I would like to trouble you to cook them."
Lin Wanxia was relieved immediately.
Jiang Sinian was the most criticized in every way when educating his children, but he was still very particular about his conduct and work.
There were two slaughtered chickens in the car, a large piece of pork, and some daily vegetables.
But there was no wine.
Wine was easy to deal with. Lin Wanxia took the money and asked Xingxing to go to the village grocery store to buy some loose wine.
There were many people, so Lin Wanxia stewed both chickens.
Most chickens these days are not meat chickens that are raised with feed. They are not big in size, but the meat is really fragrant.
People in the island city generally have heavy tastes, and stewed chicken is not as light as in the south. It emphasizes thick oil and red sauce.
The chopped chicken is put into the hot oil pan and stir-fried to color. Some strong seasonings are added in this process, such as star anise and other spices, soy sauce, sugar, etc.
Anyway, when water is added, it is already a light brown soup.
After the pot is opened, the aroma is overflowing.
"Sister-in-law, your cooking skills are really good. I can smell the fragrance now." Chen Bin said while sniffing.
Lin Wanxia had long been immune to the word "sister-in-law" and smiled and replied: "The fragrance is the taste of the chicken itself, but it does not mean that I am a good cook. You have to be more tolerant if the rice is salty or bland later."
There are so many people, two chickens, and each person should not get more than one bowl, or even less than one bowl.
Because the popular rice bowls in this era are all large-mouthed porcelain bowls, at least five-inch bowls, or even larger.
Lin Wanxia fried a few more dishes, including stir-fried beans, cold tomatoes, pickled cabbage, braised eggplant, and shredded pork with Beijing sauce.
She is not a good cook, but she is willing to use oil and seasonings when cooking, so the dishes served on the table are oily and smooth, which makes people appetizing.
Lin Wanxia thought about it and went to the dock to buy some seafood.
Living by the sea, seafood is relatively cheaper.
Lin Wanxia also prepared grilled squid, steamed sea bass, braised hairtail and braised prawns.
She set up a full set of tea and tables and invited everyone to come and eat.
Eating is also a break.
Everyone chatted while eating.
It cannot be said that women have no right to interrupt when men are talking, but when they were talking, Lin Wanxia really couldn't get a word in.
They were talking about things in the army.
As they talked, Lin Wanxia finally understood something.
The group of pirates that were caught with the help of Lin Wanxia before angered the enemy. They are now disguised as pirates, frequently doing evil on the high seas and harming the fishermen.
So they have to go out to sea disguised as fishermen.
The captain is still Jiang Sinian.
Lin Wanxia mustered up the courage to raise her hand and asked weakly, "Can I go with you?"
There was a moment of silence at the dinner table, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes looked at Lin Wanxia.
Jiang Sinian said, "What are you going to do? It's very dangerous."
Lin Wanxia nodded, "I know. Don't worry, I will never cause you any trouble. I just want to follow the boat to familiarize myself with the route first. After changing boats, I will also have to go to the 246 sea area to fish."
Jiang Sinian frowned, but did not directly deny it, as if thinking.
Chen Bin interrupted and asked Lin Wanxia, "Have you been asking around to buy a boat recently?"
Lin Wanxia nodded.
It was no secret that she bought a boat, and it was not surprising that Chen Bin knew this with his current social status in the island city.
"What do you think of my boat?"
Lin Wanxia's eyes lit up, and her tone was excited: "You want to sell the boat?"
"Yes, I want to change it to a bigger one."
Lin Wanxia nodded, "I do. But didn't you buy the boat not long ago? Are you going to change it now?"
She remembered that Chen Bin's big boat seemed to have been bought this year.
Chen Bin: "..."
He said unhappily: "You are really daring. My boat is a new one. Even if I am willing to sell it, can you afford it now?" I
can't afford it! The boat is a six-digit number.
Lin Wanxia pouted, "What are you talking about if I don't want to sell it."
"I don't have only that one boat. I also have a 50-ton one. Considering our age, I'll sell it to you at a lower price."
Lin Wanxia said "tsk", worthy of being the one that Lin Yaoyao likes, he is indeed rich.
It takes a lot of effort for her to maintain several boats.
Lin Wanxia certainly would not refuse the benefit that came to her doorstep, and nodded repeatedly to indicate that she was OK.
"How about this, you go with me on this voyage, so that we can test the boat. If there is no problem, we can exchange money and goods when we come back."
"Of course..." Lin Wanxia just opened her mouth and remembered an important question, and changed her tone, "There is a problem. You have to tell me how much you plan to sell the boat for?"
She couldn't afford it if it was too expensive.
"How about thirty thousand?" Chen Bin quoted a price that he thought was cheap.
"So expensive?" Lin Wanxia frowned.
"Expensive?" Chen Bin glanced at Jiang Sinian subconsciously, "Auntie, do you want to see my boat before you talk? My boat is at least 70% new! And it has been modified, and its defense is first-class. It was refurbished a while ago, and it cost more than two thousand just to tidy it up. Now it is comfortable from the bow to the stern and there is nothing wrong with it."
Lin Wanxia spread her hands, "But I only have 20,000 yuan."
"Buy it." Jiang Sinian said to Chen Bin, "I'll write you an IOU for the rest."
He meant that he would pay it back.
Lin Wanxia shook her head hurriedly, "No! If you can write an IOU, I will pay it back myself. If you don't trust me, can you be my guarantor?"
Chen Bin wanted to roll his eyes: "Between you two, is there any difference between who writes the IOU and who is the guarantor?"
