Chapter 35: Rain half the day and sunny half the day

After hearing this, Chen Yongwei scratched his head in annoyance and didn't care, "Brother, I also thought about saving up money to buy a second-hand small fishing boat and go fishing on the island, so as not to fight for the sea with a bunch of old ladies on the beach. goods.

But my grandma was bitten by a snake and was afraid of well ropes for ten years. Whenever I mentioned buying a boat, she would hug my father’s memorial tablet and cry. Finally, my aunt gave her the idea to let me learn to be a carpenter or a mason. .

Grandma begged grandpa to tell grandma to find a master. I studied with the master for more than half a year. The master said that I was clumsy and not good at learning crafts. He told me not to waste my time by following him."

He paused and looked at Li Changle distressedly, "Brother, I really don't know how to do fine carpentry work. I stand there pushing and shoveling all day long, and the wood pushed out has to be horizontally and vertically, not bad. A millimetre, I just like to scrounge and sell loaches without having to deal with people."

Li Changle patted him on the shoulder, "Brother knows that you are already over 20 years old and a grown man. Go home and tell your grandma what you think and talk it through to her. Let's talk about what we did together."

"I'll go back and tell her." Chen Yongwei put down the floor cage with a frown on his face, and the two of them walked separately towards the place where the floor cage was lowered.

The best fish collected from the remaining ground cages were two blue crabs weighing more than a pound. The others weighed about twenty or thirty pounds, but most of them were worthless stonefish and aconite. fish.

.......

Chen Yongwei picked up the mullet fish and put them in a basket on his back, "Brother, take these mullet fish back and let my sister-in-law dry them. The sun is good and the wind is strong during this period, so the fish will dry quickly."

"Yeah!" Li Changle looked at the snow eels in the net bag and grinned happily, "The grove is pretty good. These blue crabs alone should be sold for about thirty yuan, and the snow eels can also be sold for a buck. Forty or fifty, not counting anything else, it can be sold for seventy or eighty yuan, what a great harvest!"

Chen Yongwei also grinned, "I'll go to the dock later to sell goods. I wonder if Wang Mazi won't be jealous to death!"

Li Changle didn't care about Wang Mazi's jealousy at all, he just wanted to live his life well.

Li Changle lit a cigarette and looked at the snow eels in his net bag and thought for a moment, "Awei, the price offered by the dock is too low. Let's try sending the snow eels to Phoenix Restaurant to see if we can sell them."

He felt that snow eels worth three or four yuan a pound were too cheap. He wanted to go there and give it a try. If he could connect with them, he would be able to sell them for a few more bucks if he finds good stuff in the future.

What's more, the people who come in and out there are all nouveau riche who are not short of money. If you meet an owner who is not short of money, the price of the snow eel can at least double.

"Phoenix Restaurant!" Chen Yongwei stared at him and said, "I walked there last time and saw people in suits and ties coming in and out. If we go there, they won't chase us away, right?"

Li Changle smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? We are not going to beg for food, we are going to sell things. If they accept it, we will accept it. If they don't accept it, we will take it to Chenji Seafood Store!"

"I just carry the basket, and we will sell it wherever you say." Chen Yongwei said and turned him around. "Brother, you look handsome, and you have a stylish head of wood shavings. You can follow it carefully." Let me tell you, boss, maybe our snow eels can be sold at a really good price!"

"I'm going!" Li Changle kicked him, "I'm here to sell fish, not sex!"

"Hey!" Chen Yongwei dodged and picked up the floor cage. "Brother, take a break and smoke a cigarette. I'll clean the floor cage. We'll come back in the evening."

Li Changle nodded, "Go back and catch small fish and shrimps in Changtang, prepare the bait, and continue working in the evening!"

The disadvantage is that the mesh is too large. All the small fish and shrimps will disappear, and even the bait must be caught freshly.

"Brother, you just have to sell the goods, bait, and the ground cage. You don't have to worry about it. I'll take care of it all." Chen Yongwei happily walked towards the trench with the ground cage in his arms.

"Fool!" Li Changle cursed with a smile, and followed him over to clean the floor cages and crab pots and put them back into the basket. Chen Yongwei grabbed them and carried them on his back, and walked back happily.

When I walked through the gate, a gust of wind blew a dark cloud, and in an instant raindrops fell. Where the dark clouds were not covering the place in front, there was not even a drop of rain.

"Damn it! We didn't do anything bad. What do you mean by pointing at the rain falling on our heads?" Li Changle hurriedly ran towards a place where it wasn't raining.

"The sky is uneven and the earth is uneven. It rains half the day and clears the other day. My son-in-law's neighbor carries water and sells it..." Chen Yongwei happily sang a song from the Yue Opera "Blood Handprint". After singing, he sighed, "Brother, the lady in the opera , why haven’t you seen this in real life?”

"Do you think it was so easy to see rich ladies and foreign men in the old days? The dramas were all made up by poor bookworms when they had no food to eat, because they wished they could meet someone who didn't think they were poor and was willing to give money to them. The wealthy lady who gives gifts."

Li Changle glanced at him, "Is it possible that you are still thinking about A Mei and will not marry her in this life?"

"Alas!" Chen Yongwei sighed, "It's not that she has to do it. My grandma said that a person must be self-aware. I know it in my heart. Think about it and return it to reality!"

Li Changle didn't expect that he could say such words, so he patted him on the shoulder, "Brother, what you said makes perfect sense!"

"Hehe!" Chen Yongwei said with a naive smile, "I think you just said that the plays were written by poor bookworms, which makes sense.

You see, our village party secretary, Mei Lan, feels like she is superior to others in the village, holding her head high and looking at people through her nostrils, let alone those wealthy ladies."

"That's right, going to the theater is just for fun. If you think what's on the stage is real, you're stupid. You'll never find a wife in your life."

Li Changle glanced at him and said, "Also, you need to be thick-skinned. When you see a sister-in-law you know well, you should be thick-skinned and ask them to introduce you to them.

Maybe there is a suitable girl in one of these families! Let me tell you, finding a partner is similar to fishing. Only by casting a wide net can we catch more fish!"

"Alas!" Chen Yongwei sighed in annoyance, "But every time I see a girl, I can't open my mouth. I don't know what to say to her!"

Looking at his appearance, Li Changle felt that if things continued like this, they would end up having to find a widow to help raise their children.

He couldn't understand the confession. How could there be such a shy man who would blush nervously when seeing a woman and couldn't even fart?

"Remember, you have to be thick-skinned when going on blind dates in the future. Think about it, a grown man is sitting there, his face is as red as a cooked prawn, his hands are between his thighs, and he peeks at the girl from time to time. Do you like it or not..."

Chen Yongwei recalled the scene of his blind date and looked at him in surprise, "Brother, how did you know I was like this? Did you follow me quietly to see it?"
