After Entering the Book, She Became Rich in the 1980s

Chapter 111 The house is on fire

Some villagers got on the boat to help move the goods. Mother Zhou kept her eyes and ears in all directions, fearing that someone would fish in troubled waters and take the silver cake away.

When she saw Tian Caihua's movements, she hurriedly said: "Ah Hua, hurry up and help divide the fish and sell them. It's getting late!"

Tian Caihua ignored Zhou's mother, walked to the two bags of oysters and looked through them: "We have pried so many oysters today? The ones I pried were quite fat yesterday, are they fat today?"

Mother Zhou was afraid that she would turn the big silver cake out and hurriedly walked over and stepped on the mouth of a snakeskin bag: "The fat ones were almost pried off yesterday, but today's ones are not as fat as before. Do you want to take some back?" eat?"

Tian Caihua's eyes fell on the snakeskin bag at Zhou's mother's feet.

The mother-in-law was so nervous, it seemed she had picked up pearl oysters again.

She knew that although they told her man that they picked up pearl oysters, how could they really tell where they found them?

As a result, they went out to sea yesterday and wasted a whole day. They only hauled in two nets of fish and pried a few bags of oysters back, making a profit of more than 20 yuan.

What is the concept of earning more than 20 yuan? It can't even compare to the fraction Jiang Xia earns.

Tian Caihua said with a dark face: "No, Chengxin and I spent the whole day digging oysters yesterday. There was nothing at home except oysters. Why are you here? I'm a little busy today. I haven't cooked yet. This fish It’s all divided, I’m going home first.”

After saying that, she left with a dark face, and Yu was no longer in the mood.

Mother Zhou watched her eldest daughter-in-law leave angrily, and she knew that she felt uncomfortable again after seeing the boat full of fish.

I guess I think the two of them are partial again.

In fact, Zhou's father and Zhou's mother love their children and grandchildren very much, but they are indeed partial to Zhou Chenglei and Jiang Xia now.

That's because they felt sorry for their younger son who worked hard and almost died to earn so much money for the family, take care of his second brother, take care of his eldest brother, and provide for them in old age. But in the end, he didn't have a house, a boat, and he almost didn't even have a wife. .

As parents, they want every child to live a better life, so they are naturally biased.

Moreover, the younger son is very filial and responsible. He has been like this since he was a child. His character makes him worthy of everyone. He decided to join the army, knowing that he might die, so he left his parents to the care of his two elder brothers. , he felt that he owed his brother, so he always took great care of his two brothers these years.

When he was in the army, most of the money was sent home to his two elders.

Later, he arranged the work of the second brother and built a new house for the eldest brother.

It can be said that he has taken good care of everyone in the family, except that he owes Jiang Xia a little.

After all, when he gave the job to his second son, he had discussed it with Jiang's father and Jiang's mother, and got Jiang's father's and Jiang's mother's consent.

But he called Jiang Xia from the army to ask her opinion. Jiang Xia was in school at the time and was not at home, so he asked Jiang's father and Jiang's mother to ask Jiang Xia. Later, he called Jiang Xia again and Jiang's mother said that Jiang Xia had no objection. Who knew her? I don't know about this, I don't agree with it at all, and I cry, make trouble, and hang myself for a divorce.

Fortunately, everything has passed, and the two of them are now in love.

Therefore, the two elders tried their best to help the couple live a better life as soon as possible, hoping that they would have a house and a boat. Although she favored her younger son, Zhou's mother still helped her eldest son with housework, but it was difficult for her to keep a bowl of water even when she lived with her younger son.

It took the father and son, plus a few villagers, almost twenty minutes to move the fish to be sold off the boat.

It took nearly half an hour to weigh in.

The three red fish kings weighed 306 kilograms in total, and sold for a total of 397 yuan and 80 kilograms.

The two manta rays were less valuable because Zhou's mother had cut off their gills, and they were sold for only twenty-nine yuan.

The remaining red octopus, mackerel and other miscellaneous fish were sold for a total of 282.8 yuan.

Zhou Chenglei decided not to sell the last Balang fish he caught, but took it back and dried it.

Balang fish sells for 20 cents per catty fresh and 80 cents per catty when dried.

This time, excluding the fish I brought home, I sold a total of 709 yuan and 80 cents. This does not include that Zhou Chenglei also left a seven-eight-pound octopus and four three-pound octopus. In addition, there was a yellow-fin snapper, two bags of oysters, a basket of small miscellaneous fish and more than two hundred kilograms. Balang fish.

Zhou Chenglei handed a large stack of oysters to Jiang Xia, and then he carried two bags of oysters onto the cart.

Father Zhou held the piece of silver in his hand and felt at ease.

The three father and son moved the remaining fish to the cart.

Zhou Chenglei gave Zhou Chengxin two octopus fish and a bucket of shellfish that he had specially reserved, and asked him to take them back to his nephews.

Zhou Chengxin responded with a smile.

The family went home happily.

When he almost got home, Jiang Xia looked at the thick smoke in the distance and panicked: "Zhou Chenglei, look at the smoke coming from our house?"

The whole family saw it and their expressions changed!

Zhou Chenglei put down the cart and ran away: "Mom, you push the cart, and I'll go take a look!"

Zhou Chengxin, Zhou's father and Jiang Xia all ran quickly!

Mother Zhou's face turned pale, she pulled the cart and ran forward in a hurry, tears came out!

Jiang Xia also ran forward with all his strength.

If the house burns down, where will you live?

Not only Zhou Chenglei's family ran home, but other villagers ran out with buckets when they saw the thick smoke.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

Someone saw Father Zhou and asked, "What's going on? Is your house on fire?"

Father Zhou was extremely anxious, so he replied: "I don't know, I just came back from going to sea! I guess a few children were playing with fire at home."

Zhou Chenglei was the fastest to run home. He rushed into the door and saw thick smoke rising from the kitchen.

Grandma’s family came in and out carrying buckets!

Brother and sister Zhou Wenguang and Zhou Zhou stood in the yard, their faces pale.

Grandma hurriedly comforted Zhou Chenglei: "It's okay, it's okay, we can put it out, don't panic!"

Zhou Chenglei picked up a basin of water that his great-grandmother had just filled and rushed in.

Zhou Yongguo ran out of the kitchen with a bucket. When he saw him, he said: "Ahem...it's okay, the fire is out. It was the firewood in the kitchen that caught fire, but nothing else was burned. Ahem..."

Grandpa also rushed out: "It's almost out, but the smoke is too thick."

Zhou Chenglei felt grateful, "Thank you!"

He said as he rushed in and poured water on the still smoking pyre.

Zhou's father, Zhou Chengxin and other villagers also ran.

The great-grandmother comforted her while fetching water: "Don't worry, don't worry, the fire is almost out, it hasn't started yet!"

Jiang Xia ran back at this time, and was relieved after hearing this. She held on to the door frame while panting, and did not step forward to cause trouble.

Then Zhou's father, Zhou Chengxin, Zhou Chenglei and other villagers carried two more buckets of water in and poured it on until the pile of firewood stopped smoking.

Only then did Zhou's mother come back with the cart. She was relieved when she saw that the fire was out, but her feet were weak and she asked, "What's going on? Why is there a fire?"

At this time, Pan Daidi came out of the house with a frightened look on her face: "Yeah, I don't know what happened? It scared me, so I went in to see if there was any other fire in the house!"
