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

Chapter 131 The feeling of heart bleeding

Because Zhou Chengxin also went to sea together, and Tian Caihua brought a piece of bacon to help cook in the evening, Zhou's mother simply cooked the meal for her eldest son's family.

So the two families had dinner together at the old house in the evening. After dinner, the whole family started killing abalone.

Only then did Tian Caihua realize that what was in the snakeskin bag was abalone and not the oysters Jiang Xia mentioned!

Tian Caihua looked at an abalone that was only bigger than her hand.

Such a big abalone is worth a lot of money. How much can ten bags of abalone be sold for?

If they are dried and sold, one can be sold for at least five yuan, right? It will be more expensive to wait until the end of the year to sell it!

Even if not all of them are this big, some are small, and one pound of dried food can be sold for more than ten or twenty yuan, right?

Tian Caihua couldn't help but whisper to Zhou Chengxin, who was seriously killing abalone next to her: "Will the money from the sale of these abalones be divided?"

Zhou Chengxin's face turned dark: "It doesn't matter, Ah Lei found this abalone. I just went to help catch it. Can't I help my brother with some work?"

Tian Caihua: "..."

What does it mean to feel like your heart is bleeding?

That’s probably it!

Tian Caihua moved her lips, wanting to say something, but when she saw Zhou Chengxin's face turned dark, she finally said nothing.

never mind!

She brought meat to cook today because she wanted to make peace with Zhou Chengxin.

Although he didn't say anything, his mood was tormented.

If she knew what would happen if she didn't come over to cook that day, she would definitely come over and cook the meal that day!

How could she have thought that the old house would almost burn down?

Zhou Chengxin ignored her for a few days. She went back to her parents' house this morning. Her mother said that Zhou Chengxin blamed her for being too careless.

Her mother said that the new house was given to them, and they didn't need to support the elderly. She was not satisfied with taking such a huge advantage.

Moreover, Zhou Chengxin earns thirty or forty yuan at a time when she goes to sea. One day is equal to someone else's monthly salary, and she can earn several hundred yuan a month. She still feels that the money is small. She is not happy when she sees how much her brother-in-law and his family earn, and she also feels bad about helping her raise them. The parents-in-law of several children are partial.

She wants people to help her work, but she doesn’t want to support her in her old age. Who wouldn’t be disappointed?

When people feel cold, it’s hard to keep warm!

Her mother told her to be generous. A sister-in-law should respect her elders and love her children.

Tian Caihua also knows that fishing at sea depends on everyone's luck, and her parents-in-law treat her well, but the difference is so big that she feels unbalanced.

Forget it, forget it, otherwise Zhou Chengxin will be angry again and never end it with her!

Zhou Chengxin was indeed angry.

Tian Caihua was stubborn. Seeing her fourth brother catch so many abalones, she felt unbalanced again.

I feel that if he goes to sea with him, he should get a share.

But he went out to sea because he saw her upset, so why not go out to sea to help his brother, not just to share money!

Moreover, it was an abalone nest discovered by Ah Lei because of his good shipping. What does it have to do with him?

Zhou Chengxin got angry, and Tian Caihua ignored her next.

Tian Caihua was extremely depressed. She just asked and didn't say she wanted to share the abalone money, so he gave her a look.

Jiang Xia naturally saw that Zhou Chengxin and Tian Caihua were in a cold war, but outsiders should not interfere in the affairs of the two couples, so they just pretended not to see it.

Jiang Xia said to Zhou Chenglei: "The largest abalones will be picked out at that time, and they will be kept and not sold. They will be stored for a few more years and become soft-boiled abalones, which will be more valuable."

Thinking of soft-boiled abalone, Jiang Xia also wants to eat it!

Zhou Chenglei saw that she was greedy, and the corners of his mouth raised: "Okay."

She liked it, so the big ones were kept to satisfy her craving. Such big abalones are hard to come by, but there are many ways to make money.

Jiang Xia added: "I won't go to sea tomorrow. I will dry abalone at home with my mother."

Otherwise, there would be so many abalones that would have to be cleaned, drained, and hung on cotton ropes to dry tomorrow. Mother Zhou would be too busy to handle the work alone.

"good."

Mother Zhou then remembered today's broadcast: "Today's broadcast said that there will be a typhoon in the next two days, so everyone should not go to the sea."

Zhou Chengxin: "It's been extremely hot these two days, so I guessed there was a typhoon."

Father Zhou frowned, "There is another typhoon. I don't know how many days it will be delayed this time." Jiang Xia frowned. When there is a typhoon, it will rain for a few days. She is afraid that the abalone will not be dried well. After all, such a large abalone is difficult to dry due to its thick flesh. , it will be a big loss if it stink!

Tian Caihua: "No!"

Her family hasn’t been out to sea for many days!

"There's nothing we can do about it." Zhou's mother smiled again and said, "I found a date today, and it was said that we can start work on the second day of the eighth lunar month."

Jiang Xia thought about it for a moment and then smiled: "That's almost there, there's still less than half a month."

Father Zhou said with a smile: "If there is a typhoon and we can't go to sea, let's order a batch of bricks first and prepare them."

After hearing this, Tian Caihua hurriedly asked: "What day? Why are you ordering bricks? Are you going to build a house?"

Isn't it about building a new house? How long has it been since we separated? In less than two months, will you have money to build a new house?

Father Zhou smiled and responded: "Yes, Ah Lei and the others are planning to build a new house."

Tian Caihua couldn't help but feel sour again. Will she have money to build a house so soon?

"Fourth brother, how big of a house do you plan to build?"

Zhou Chenglei: "Two and a half floors."

His parents and Zhou Zhou live on the first floor, and he and Jiang Xia live on the second floor by climbing stairs, which is more convenient for everyone.

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

Tian Caihua: "..."

Two and a half floors? The new house only has one floor!

"Building a house is much more expensive now than in previous years, isn't it? Building two and a half floors would probably cost tens of thousands of yuan, right?"

Do they have that much money?

Don’t you know how much the parents-in-law will subsidize them for building a new house?

Every time it was Zhou's father's turn to go fishing, all the money he earned would probably be given to the fourth and his wife.

Zhou Chengxin couldn't help but give Tian Caihua a cold look.

Tian Caihua: "..."

Forget it, she won’t ask, okay?

Seeing that she stopped talking, Zhou Chengxin smiled and said, "Construction will start in August, and we should be able to move in during the Chinese New Year."

Mother Zhou smiled and said, "I think so too."

…

It takes a whole family an hour to process ten snakeskin bags of abalone, put them in a ceramic jar and marinate them with salt. After getting up tomorrow, they will continue to clean the melanin and mucus before further processing.

Anyway, drying abalone is quite troublesome, and it is even more troublesome to dry it well.

However, Jiangxia is not afraid of trouble, but is afraid of not getting enough sunshine, so don’t let it rain!

After finishing all this, Tian Caihua and Zhou Chengxin went home together.

On the way, Tian Caihua took the initiative to find a topic and said, "I'll come over tomorrow morning to help mom dry abalones together. Are you going to go to sea tomorrow?"

After Zhou Chengxin heard this, he said calmly: "Come out."

There were a lot of abalones in the cave. Of course, he had to help catch them as soon as possible. Otherwise, if they were discovered by others, wouldn't it be an advantage for outsiders?

And diving into the bottom of the sea is always dangerous, so it’s safer to do it with more than one person.

Tian Caihua breathed a sigh of relief and finally replied to her words. She said: "Okay, I will get up early tomorrow morning and make breakfast. Today I made glutinous rice cakes. Tomorrow you can bring more to the boat for dad and fourth brother. Taste it.”

"Um."

***

It was already eleven o'clock when Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei went to bed that night.

Zhou Chenglei was afraid that Jiang Xia would be too tired, so he didn't want her.

The next day, Zhou Chenglei still went to sea at around four o'clock in the middle of the night. Jiang Xia also got up and cleaned the abalone with Zhou's mother, soaked the abalone in Naoshui, crossed the cold river, and then carefully tied the abalone one by one with cotton rope to dry.

Tian Caihua brought a few children over at seven o'clock to help.

I was busy until noon to dry all the abalone.

It was just that a strong wind blew in the afternoon, and the wind became stronger and stronger in the evening. Jiang Xia went to the pier to wait for the fishing boat to return. The waves hit the pier, and the waves were high for a long time!

The waves here are so big, but they will only be bigger in the sea!

Her heart felt uneasy.
