Chapter 466: Son-in-Law (Supplement) (1/2)

The twenty-seventh day of the lunar calendar.

The sun is a bit bright.

Every household on Dandan Island has started cleaning, starting to dry quilts and wash various furniture, and even the roof has to be cleaned.

Since many of them were tile houses, there were a lot of spider silk on the roofs, so many people used long bamboo brooms to clean the roofs.

Li Duoyu just moved to a new home. There was no need to clean it at all, but he still had to make a show of it.

By this time.

The island has entered the mode of non-stop worship, and there are firecrackers everywhere, especially the firecrackers at Thean Hou Temple, which have been ringing from the morning until now.

During the Chinese New Year, the worst thing was probably the chickens, ducks and pigs raised in the family. Except for those that could lay eggs, almost all the rest were served in one pot.

Some stayed to eat for themselves, while others were taken to the market in the town to sell. Some of the quicker ones had already prepared a new round of chicken and duck seedlings, starting a new round of breeding.

The pier is still very lively.

After Lao Mi was discharged from the hospital, he had not rested for two days. He became a fishmonger again and became active at the dock.

When chatting with everyone.

Lao Mi always couldn't help but complain a little, saying how bad the hospital was. It not only cost him his capital, but also caused his sons to bleed a lot, and his daughters-in-law also had great opinions.

And Defa's reputation gradually disappeared amidst Lao Mi's complaints, and everyone began to panic.

Everyone began to be afraid of going to the hospital and were curious about the young barefoot doctor. They even called Lao Mi and invited the barefoot doctor to the island.

Although the health station is always open, there are obviously fewer people coming to see the doctor, and Zhang Defa also knows why.

These days, he has also heard some gossips, and some even added jealousy, saying that he and his mentor worked together to cheat money and so on.

But he didn't care anymore, he was too lazy to argue, that's what they were doing, just try to keep a low profile when things happened.

At this moment, he finally understood why his old classmate Li Duoyu valued credit so much.

Because once credit collapses, it is difficult to get it back. Even if you do ninety-nine good things, if you do one bad thing, the whole army will be defeated.

But Zhang Defa wasn't that fragile yet. Because of this kind of thing, he began to hate those people who were incited by Uncle Mi.

If he encounters a situation like Uncle Mi again, he will still ask him to go to the hospital for medical treatment. Not everyone is as lucky as him to encounter lipoma, which is the mildest symptom among all tumors.

At this time, when seafood is the most expensive, women are cleaning at home and many fishermen go out to fish.

The Zhao brothers brought back half a boatload of marine fish early in the morning. They were lucky today. When they lowered the net, they bumped into a school of sweethead fish, allowing the two brothers to make a small profit.

Lao Lu and his son-in-law Zhang Yuansheng also caught a net of "Chunzi fish", which is also known as Huanggu fish.

When the net was first set up, Lao Lu was still slapping his thighs and shouting that he was rich because the large yellow croaker caught during the day was not that yellow and looked very similar to Chunzi.

But after the fish was rolled onto the boat with the net hoist, we saw that the fish's dorsal fin had an obvious protrusion, and the fish's head was not semi-elliptical.

As an old fisherman, Lao Lu suddenly looked disappointed.

Although no large yellow croaker was caught, Chunzi was also good, although the taste was very different from that of large yellow croaker.

But there are very few people who understand seafood. In the market, there are many fishmongers who often sell spring fish to customers at high prices as large yellow croaker.

What the fishermen didn't expect was that in the past two years, the large yellow croaker seemed to have disappeared. Over the past year, few fishermen had caught the large yellow croaker.

On the dock, when Lao Lu sold the spring fish to Old Man Mi, everyone looked at the two baskets of spring fish and couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.

"The fishing was too harsh back then, and we were catching them one by one. Now they may be extinct."

Some fishermen also lamented: "At that time, chickens and ducks ate only large yellow croaker, and many villagers used the large yellow croaker to fertilize and grow sweet potatoes."

An old fisherman said objectively: "There is nothing we can do about it. At that time, unlike now, you can buy ice cubes at any time. Many times, when the fish was brought back, it had already started to smell a little. The fish was dried. It’s too late, so we have to remove the fertilizer.”

A fisherman who had just returned from selling fish at Qingkou Wharf said excitedly: "It's so scary. The price of large yellow croaker over Qingkou has risen to two yuan. Have you caught any?"

The fishmonger Lao Mi hummed: "You don't have to go to Qingkou to sell it. If you catch any large yellow croaker, I'll give you two yuan if it's more than two kilograms."

A fisherman said: "Old Mi, this is what you said. If I catch it and you don't get two yuan, I will dismantle your boat."

Lao Mi said disgustedly: "Who doesn't know how to brag? You catch him first and then talk about it."

An old fisherman said: "If we catch a whole net like before, we won't have to work next year."

At this moment, Liu Yun came back in his shrimp boat. Today, he, Li Yuanguang and Li Shuguang caught several baskets of shrimp.

Unfortunately, most of them are sword shrimps, which are not as expensive as Dajiujie and prawns. The locals also call them green shell and smooth skin shrimps.

But in this era, as long as it is shrimp, it will not be cheap, especially during the Chinese New Year, the purchase price of sword shrimp is as high as two and a half yuan.

As long as the fishermen's sticky nets sink to the bottom, they can often catch shrimps. If you are lucky, you can catch two or three kilograms, but they are completely incomparable to this kind of specialized shrimp fishing boat.

Seeing those baskets of shrimps, both Lao Lu and the Zhao brothers all looked envious.

Lao Lu's son-in-law Zhang Yuansheng looked at those baskets of shrimps with envy: "Dad, why don't we also pool our money and get a shrimp boat next year."

Lao Lu looked at his son-in-law. He had already discovered one thing: his son-in-law was not marrying his daughter, but fishing with him for real.

"Sure, as long as you and Yanyan give me a big fat baby next year, I will sell everything I have to buy you a shrimp boat."

The son-in-law Zhang Yuansheng frowned. In fact, he really regretted marrying into the family this time.

He was also cheated by the matchmaker, because before he became a son-in-law, he had never seen Yanyan.

It happened that during that period, his family was in the process of splitting up, and his parents were a little partial, and many things were taken away by his eldest brother, which made him super annoyed. He didn't think too much about it, and just became a son-in-law out of anger.

At that time, the matchmaker kept praising her, saying that she had a big butt, was good at giving birth, and was definitely a woman who would bring good luck to her husband. Originally, he didn't have much hope for Yanyan, after all, women looked the same when it was dark and the lights were off.

But this bastard matchmaker never mentioned the big black mole on Yanyan's face, which was in such a bad position and too conspicuous.

If you look closely, you can see one or two thick hairs.

But he can tolerate this, after all, he is just a poor guy, and his wife is ugly, and he can still live his life.

But what caused him a psychological burden was that his big wife happened to have the personality of a little woman, often acting coquettishly, and punching his chest with her little fists.

To be honest, if Yanyan was like Zhu Xiuhua on the island, he would not be unable to accept it.

But she just played shy with you.

Shy your sister!

Every time he thought of her shy expression, Zhang Yuansheng got goosebumps all over his body. Until now, he still remembers the first night after he married into the family.

The woman said to him shyly:

"I am still a big girl, and I am afraid of pain for the first time. You have to be gentle to me."

Zhang Yuansheng almost vomited all the wine he drank that day, and said directly: "Afraid of pain, then let's go to sleep."

From the second day after the marriage, Zhang Yuansheng slept on the other side. His father-in-law also knew about this and talked to him privately several times, but to be honest, he was not mentally prepared.

Now, seeing that other people's shrimp boats have caught so many shrimps, conservatively calculated that these baskets of shrimps can be sold for at least more than 300 yuan during the New Year.

If I also have a shrimp boat, I can save money quickly. As long as I have money in my hands, my status will not be low.

Zhang Yuansheng gritted his teeth and said to Lao Lu: "Okay, then let's try next year and see if we can give birth to a tiger baby."

"That's right."

Lao Lu smiled happily. How could he not understand what his son-in-law was thinking? As long as the two of them had a child, it would be fine.

Then all his property could be left to his grandson.

Before Liu Yun's shrimp boat docked, no one expected that Lao Mi, who had just been discharged from the hospital, would be so desperate and jump directly onto the shrimp boat.

"Shuguang, these shrimps, 2.5 yuan, I'll take them all."

Seeing Lao Mi jumping so unethically, other fishmongers were quite dissatisfied.

"Lao Mi, you are not a good person. Didn't we agree to take turns? Why did you start to fight?"

Lao Mi directly retorted: "I haven't collected fish for a month. I was cheated so badly by the hospital. Can't you let me order and let me recover my blood?"

"Lao Mi, you are a bit rogue." But everyone just talked about it. The price of 2.5 yuan was too high. As far as their channels were concerned, they couldn't make money at this price.

It was the day of the general cleaning.

Li Duoyu, his brother-in-law and others were all considered to be in the way, and were all driven out by the women in the family.

Li Duoyu's new house didn't need much cleaning, but Zhou Xiaoying still took out all the old clothes to wash and the old quilts to dry.

A few men came to the dock out of boredom, and happened to see Shuguang and Liu Yun and others had caught so many shrimps.

They sold for nearly 400 yuan, and suddenly they felt itchy and wanted to rob the sea.

This year, Li Duoyu was almost engaged in aquaculture, and rarely fished. The fishing gear was placed on the fishing raft, and it was all covered with spider webs.

Fishing gear will break faster if it is not used for too long.

Li Duoyu thought for a while: "Brother-in-law, if you have nothing to do today, shall we go fishing together?"

Zhang Mingsheng nodded. He was not doing aquaculture now, so he was free anyway: "Sure, I haven't fished for half a year, and my hands are itching."

"Okay, I'll ask Xiaochao to come along. He's good at swimming, and I'll feel more at ease with him."

Li Duoyu didn't drive the fishing boat, but the sampan he bought first. The fishing boat didn't have a net machine installed, so it wasn't very good for fishing.

Li Duoyu was reluctant to use the fishing boat to fish, because there might be reefs where they cast the net.

This boat is good, but it's a pity that it's all new materials. If it really hits, the Changwei Shipyard probably won't have the materials to repair it, and they might have to pull the boat to Nagasaki.

The cost would be high.

As the rumbling sound sounded, Li Duoyu drove the sampan to the fishing raft to pick up the sticky net, took the idiot with him, and headed straight to Dongjia Reef.

During the Chinese New Year, the sea area near Dandan Island was full of fishing boats and fishing nets.

There is no need to visit Xijia Reef to the west of Xiasha Village and Bird's Mouth Reef in Chenjia Village. During the Chinese New Year, there is no space for you to set your net in these two places.

Li Duoyu thought for a while and simply went to the relatively dangerous Dongjia Reef. Ever since the Zhao brothers had an accident and Liu Mazi drowned here, this place has been rumored to be extremely mysterious. Not many fishermen dare to come here to catch fish. fish.

Li Duoyu drove for about an hour and finally arrived at Dongjia Reef. The waves were relatively big today.

The waves hit the rocks and stirred up two or three meters of spray.

Although Zhang Mingsheng is not very old, he is an old fisherman. He grew up on his father's fishing boat since he was a child.

When he saw this sea area, he frowned. Experience told him that this place was not safe.

"Duoyu, are you familiar with this area? This place looks quite dangerous. Just looking at the hydrology nearby, I discovered several reefs."

Chen Wenchao said with a smile: "Brother Mingsheng, you may not know, but Brother Yu is the person who is most familiar with Dongjia Reef on our island. It was here that Brother Yu made his first pot of gold, and I don't know how many ships he saved." , he and I also rescued three people here."

"So awesome." (End of chapter)
