Chapter 400 Dinner Party
Many people know that owning a big ship is very profitable. Fishing boats make money in the same way as fishing boats, and cargo ships make money in the same way as cargo ships.
I know it, but few people can afford it.
Li Xiuxian is a little sad. It has been a month since her family bought the fishing boat, but it has only gone out to sea once and made as much money as an ant's leg!
Either no one took her parents out to sea this month, or the cold air came and they couldn't go out to sea.
The weather is a lot warmer today. Can we go to sea after the winter solstice?
Otherwise she won’t go to sea in the first month of the year, and if she doesn’t go to sea now while the weather is warmer, the machinery of her fishing boat will be rusty!
"Dad, do you want to go to sea the day after tomorrow? How about you drive my boat and take my dad and my brother with me? Just get them familiar with it!"
The whole family looked at Li Xiuxian , Zhou Chengsen's face darkened: "No!"
Zhou Fugang was stunned for a moment, and then his reaction was slow, and he said hurriedly: "No problem, I will just take care of my in-laws when the time comes."< br>
They are both sons, it is not good to just help one and not the other.
Although it is difficult to keep a bowl of water level.
However, the younger son and the older son are both doing well now, so it is appropriate to help the second son more.
Is it just that the second daughter-in-law’s mother-in-law’s family hasn’t become familiar with the sea for so long?
Is it so difficult to carry?
Zhou Chengsen: "Dad, no, you need to rest at home for a few days. The day after tomorrow, Xiaoxian and I will take them out to sea to get familiar with each other. My father-in-law and the others can't get up in the morning, so they will go out to sea in the evening."
He Dad has been wandering at sea for so many days, no need to take a rest?
It’s a shame she can speak out.
Zhou Chenglei didn't want to make his father work hard: "I'll take them in the morning the day after tomorrow, and let them get familiar with them for two days."
Li Xiuxian pursed her lips, what to bring now, let him take it before, wait a little longer For a while, I won’t be happy to go to sea later!
Otherwise, her boat would be abandoned for a month?
Zhou Chengsen refused: "No, I can just take it at night. It won't delay your business. Anyway, if you use lights to trap at night, there will be more fish."
His father usually gets up at four o'clock, and five The boat has already sailed out to sea at 0 o'clock, and the first net can be set up at 7 o'clock.
His father-in-law and the others showed up only after half past seven, which was equivalent to delaying a whole net of fish.
Having one less fish in the net means making dozens of yuan less, especially for someone like Ah Lei who is good at shipping, he can earn more than a hundred or even hundreds of yuan with one net!
Can you afford the delay?
Li Xiuxian and the Li family feel that it is okay to be late, thinking that others will not be happy to wait a little longer!
But why don’t they compensate for the loss caused by waiting a little longer?
Zhou Chengsen knew that Zhou Chenglei and Jiang Xia still owed the shipyard a balance of more than 600,000 yuan and had not yet paid.
Who knows how much pressure this will bring?
If he owed hundreds of thousands, he would be so flustered that he couldn't sleep!
Now Jiang Xia has three children in her belly, and it is not easy for Ah Lei to go far to the sea to make money, so he can only fish offshore.
The gap between offshore and offshore fishing is huge!
Sometimes when dealing with people, you cannot only see the good things in others, but not the difficulties of others.
As brothers, forget it if you can't help, at least don't hold you back.
After all, there weren’t many days to go to sea.
In December, we were unable to go to sea for more than half a month because of the cold air.
January is also the month with the most cold air. It would be nice to be able to go to sea for ten and a half days.
No going to sea in the first month.
In the following February, March, April and May, there was a lot of rain, and there were not many days when we could go to sea.
Then there are many typhoons in July, August and September, and there are few days when you can go to sea!
So it’s not that easy!
Besides, helping is a favor, not helping is a matter of principle.
Zhou Chengsen looked at Li Xiuxian with a cold look: "Since your dad and eldest brother can't get up in the morning, then go to sea in the evening. More fish will come out to look for food at night."
Lest she keep stopping. After a lot of trouble, Zhou Chengsen decided to take them with him in the evening.
Do you really think it’s that easy to go fishing? Either the morning leaves and the evening arrives, or the evening leaves and the morning returns.
Every penny is earned!
What can Li Xiuxian say: "Okay, then I will tell my dad when we have dinner tomorrow, didn't you say that we would invite everyone to a restaurant during the Winter Solstice? Invite my dad and the others tomorrow! I didn't invite them to dinner last time. "
"Okay." Zhou Chengsen said the last time he saw the sofa in the city, he would go to a restaurant with his family during the winter solstice. He told his mother when he came back.
It's no problem to invite the father-in-law and mother-in-law's family. Then we can divide the table into two, but there won't be room for one table anyway.

This time, in addition to money, Father Zhou brought back more than 5,000 kilograms of dried fish and small dried fish, which he purchased from local fishermen.
In addition to dried fish, the big ship also brought back 10,000 catties of fresh fish.
So after dinner, the whole family and my grandma’s family began to dry the small fish.
I was busy until midnight, and only half of the dried fish was dried, and the rest was still in the cold storage on the ship.
Both the old house and the new house are full of sunshine, as are Dafang’s house and my great-grandmother’s house.
The family got up early the next morning and continued drying small fish.
Aunt Fen also came to help, and she brought her little daughter over to help.
Jiangxia offers a high salary, one hundred and fifty yuan a month, but there is not much work to do in a day.
Every day I collect dried fish, dry the dried fish, and divide the dried fish. I am only busy when I make a fire and fry small dried fish.
But it doesn’t happen every day.
She feels embarrassed to get such a high salary.
Seeing that she was a little busy today, she brought her daughter to help, thinking that she could do more work.
Li Xiuxian got up and saw Aunt Fen helping in the yard early in the morning and was surprised: "Aunt Fen, mute girl, so early?"
Aunt Fen's daughter is called Zhou Pan, and people in the village call her dumb sister.
She couldn't hear it either, but when everyone looked at her, she smiled.
Aunt Fen smiled and said: "Yes, come and help Xiao Xia and A Huan make dried fish."
Li Xiuxian's face changed a bit.
Last time I asked Jiang Xia, he said he wouldn’t invite anyone!
He turned around and invited an outsider!
Li Xiuxian went to the kitchen to get breakfast with a straight face. After finishing breakfast, she said to Zhou Chengsen who was busy drying the dried fish: "I will go back and tell my dad that we will have dinner in town at noon today. Look at Dian Ying. Ying!”
After that, she pushed the bicycle out, and then she didn’t see anyone the whole morning, and didn’t come back until eleven o’clock.
At this time, the dried fish are all ready to be dried.
There is no place to dry it at home, so I dry it on the big boat, in the village's grain drying field, or on the beach I bought.
It happened to be Sunday, and the children had a holiday. Jiang Xia gave Zhou Wenguang ten yuan and asked him to find a few friends to help guard it.
Read it in about time.
The weather is good now and the wind is strong. Such a small fish will dry in the sun for two days.
My great-grandmother and great-grandfather don’t have to go to the canteen today. One of them is at the beach and the other is guarding the grain drying field.
The two elders are afraid that their children will not be reliable.
But earning one dollar is a lot for a child, so those children are very active.
I just hope that the job will be done well this time, and I will come back to them next time if there is such a good thing.
At noon, Zhou Chenglei drove his tractor and took his family to the town for dinner.
There are many Zhou family members, and there are also many Li family members.
There were two big tables.
Li Xiuxian's sister-in-law came to the Zhou family's table with a wine glass and said with a smile: "I want to toast everyone. Thank you for taking care of A-Xian for so many years."
The whole family stood up and raised their glasses. He smiled, said something special, and saluted her.
Then she came to Jiang Xia.
