On the day he picked up more than 60 kilograms of hairtail, Mu Chenze did not go to sea.
Tonight's prawns were discovered only after his prompting.
Could it be that it was not God’s blessing but Mu Chenze’s secret gift?
Ask him in person tomorrow.
Chu Xuan got up at six o'clock the next morning. He would not go to the sea during the day, but would wait for the construction team at home.
The structure of the new house and the height of the courtyard wall need to be discussed. We also plan to rebuild the toilet and stove.
In fact, it is more convenient to have a well at home, but it is too close to the seaside and there is no way to get fresh water. You need to go to the creek on the other side of the village to fetch water.
The stream is spring water coming down from the mountain. The water is clear and sweet.
The water tank at home had bottomed out, and Chu Xuan went out with the bucket.
When we arrived at the stream, we happened to meet Mu Chenze who was also coming to fetch water.
Take the initiative to say hello, "Didn't you go to sea today?"
"That's right."
Mu Chenze put down the carrying pole and took the empty bucket to get water.
Seeing that there was no one around, Chu Xuan asked, "Did you put the prawns there in advance yesterday?"
Mu Chenze looked at a fool and replied indifferently, "How free do I have to go to the beach to put prawns for you in advance? Don't put gold on your face and be so sentimental!"
Filled two buckets of water and left without looking back.
Chu Xuan touched his nose in embarrassment. He asked too recklessly today.
Unexpectedly, Mu Chenze dared to breathe a sigh of relief after walking more than ten meters.
It seems that we can't do such stupid things again in the future.
However, it takes a few more trips to fill the water tank.
On the second and third trip, they met Chu Xuan again.
Chu Xuan did not take the initiative to talk to him.
It wasn't until the fourth trip that Mu Chenze filled the bucket and took the initiative to talk to Chu Xuan with a smile on his face, "I heard that your family is building a new house today and the construction team will contract the work and materials?"
"Yes."
"If you need help, just call me."
"No. In case the villagers misunderstand. Mu Chenze, I'm actually very curious. Why don't you hate me, but help me?"
Mu Chenze no longer concealed anything, "Because I passed by the Chu family's old house that day and overheard the conversation between you and Feng Chunhua, and I realized that it was Feng Chunhua who forced you to plot against me and my family. After marriage, I subsidized her hundreds of yuan a month. The money will also be increased, she really dares to ask for it! I am very grateful to you for not marrying me. So if you need me in the future, just ask me."
After saying that, I felt relaxed.
Chu Xuan didn't expect that he would learn the truth, "Just don't blame me. I can't help you. I've been feeling guilty all this time!"
"What is there to feel guilty about? That was not your intention. From now on, I, Mu Chenze, will treat you as a friend and a buddy. Let's go!"
Mu Chenze carried water and left.
Chu Xuan whispered, "It's good to be brothers!"
Since the prawns were not secretly given by Mu Chenze, she was not polite.
When Chu Xuan returned home, she made boiled prawns and enjoyed them with Xiao Feng.
When Mu Chenze returned home, he couldn't help laughing when he saw Qin Mahua hesitating to speak, "Mom, you can ask whatever you want."
Qin Mahua made a gesture of counting money, "You didn't go out to sea today. Did you go to collect fish and sell them again? I see you have put your pillow down and have no money."
Mu Chenze laughed heartily and took out a wad of money from his pocket, "Here it is! More than four hundred yuan."
Qin Mahua happily took it and asked while counting, "Are you still bringing in fish this time?"
"No. It's abalone. I left a few in our kitchen. I've had breakfast. Go back to my room to catch up on some sleep. Don't disturb me."
Mu Chenze walked into the bedroom.
After a while, Qin Mahua's surprised voice was heard, "My dear, how many are these? They are obviously a bunch of abalones! Just keep them and sell them for money. Isn't it a waste to eat too much?"
Fortunately, he didn't enter the house to disturb Mu Chenze.
Mu Chenze would not tell anyone that the pile of abalone was actually intended to secretly subsidize Chu Xuan. It had already aroused Chu Xuan's suspicion and he could not do that again.
Otherwise, after the secret is revealed, Chu Xuan will definitely convert the hairtail and prawns into money and give it to him.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the construction team stationed at Chu Xuan's house. There were ten people in total, and the leader was a man named Lin Lou.
Today we will first demolish the house, draw lines and dig the foundation.
The two rooms and the courtyard wall that collapsed before were demolished, and they were all broken soil and rotten wood.
Lin Lou suggested to Chu Xuan that after building a new house and moving in, he would demolish the remaining two rooms and build new ones.
Chu Xuan thought so too, but he didn't have that much money at the moment.
At least I need to earn more than a thousand before I can build another one.
At around 10 o'clock in the morning, Gao Meijuan and her daughter came over to help.
Gao Meijuan's daughter Wang Shasha is the same age as Chu Feng this year, but is a head taller than Chu Feng.
This made Chu Xuan even more aware of the need to nourish his little brother.
At noon, I made stir-fried clams, stewed cabbage vermicelli with pork belly and prawns, steamed steamed buns with mixed noodles, and made mung bean soup.
Mixed-noodle steamed buns are made from cornmeal and white flour and taste sweet.
Coupled with the delicious dishes, the construction workers were happy and satisfied, and worked more energetically in the afternoon.
When work started, the foundation had already been dug and laid with stones, red bricks, concrete, etc.
There aren't many materials left for building a house that we brought here today, and we need to bring more tomorrow.
I didn't pull him over all at once because there was no courtyard wall here and it was easy for thieves to pick up.
Hearing that Qiu Daguang had been arrested, he shouldered the responsibility and Qi Hong escaped unscathed.
At about eight o'clock in the evening, Chu Xuan came to the beach carrying tools for catching the sea.
Although she was very tired today, she still couldn't stop her enthusiasm for catching the sea.
Eat by the sea.
She wants to pick up more seafood and make more money.
After eating, Mu Chenze was walking on the beach to eat. Even if the light was not good, he still saw Chu Xuan at a glance.
Mainly because her figure is huge enough.
This time he didn't come forward to disturb her.
Chu Xuan held a flashlight and followed the ebbing water.
I saw a sea bass weighing three to four pounds.
Put down the bucket, grab it directly, and put it into the bucket easily.
I continued walking forward and picked up a fifteen centimeter long sea cucumber.
We also saw a school of blue-scaled fish stranded.
Green scale fish is small and has many spines, but it tastes great when fried!
After a while, half the bucket was picked up.
Walking forward again, I saw about a dozen sea urchins.
The thorns all over my body are moving and they are all alive.
I had good luck today and used a clamp to put it in the bucket.
Sea urchin is delicious, but Chu Xuan is reluctant to eat it and plans to sell it at the dock soon.
The purchase price of sea urchins varies, depending on the quality.
After picking up sea urchins, Chu Xuan found another sea bass, caught it and put it in a bucket.
I walked forward again and picked up two chubby sea cucumbers that were 17 or 18 centimeters long, weighing half a catty each.
When Chu Xuan saw that it was good, he stopped and walked back with the bucket.
Whenever they met villagers rushing to the sea, they would shine their flashlights on Chu Xuan's bucket.
Everyone thought she had done a good job catching up on shipping recently, and they were all curious about what good stuff she had picked up.
When they arrived at the pier, Chu Xuan went straight to Li Tong's stall, "If I don't sell the blue-scaled fish, I'll sell the rest to you."
"Okay."
Li Tongma quickly weighed them separately.
Two seabass weighed seven pounds and forty taels, and sea urchin weighed three pounds and seventy taels.
When it was the turn to weigh the sea cucumbers, Chu Xuan stretched out his hand to stop them, "We are all so familiar with each other, so the sea cucumbers can be sold at a fixed price."
I thought in my mind that the three sea cucumbers were of very good quality and were extremely rare. I would definitely not sell them for less than 80 yuan.
Unexpectedly, Li Tong looked embarrassed, "The last fixed price was because a customer was in urgent need. We have to weigh it today. The quality is good. Let's give it a pound of fifteen. These three must be more than a pound. If you don't agree, , you can take it to the county hotel and sell it yourself, maybe you can get a good price."
