Huo Erhuai and Yang Fu came back from collecting the net, but Qian Sanduo and his family were still waiting.
"Erhuai, do you want to sell your old boat?"
"It's for sale. Do you want to buy it?" The family has already discussed it. When they get a new boat, they will sell the old boat at a discount. They don't want to get it even if they don't even get it to the shipyard, and they want it for more than three bucks.
"Yes. I've long wanted to buy one for my little fish. He's grown up and will start a family in two years. Buy him a family property and let him experience it on his own."
When Huo Xi and Yang heard this, they both looked at Qian Xiaoyu next to Qian Sanduo.
It made him blush.
"In a blink of an eye, Xiaoyu will have a family," Yang joked.
Sun responded: "No, I'm looking for him. But for people like us, who have no family, no job, no foundation, it's hard to get married."
Mrs. Yang comforted her: "You are so afraid. Buy a boat for Xiaoyu, and he will soon be able to save his family fortune."
"I think so."
Huo Erhuai said to Qian Sanduo: "If Xiaoyu wants it, you can take it for two taels." Although it is an old boat, the wood is of good quality, and the two taels are of real value.
Qian Sanduo and Sun were overjoyed, and without any courtesy, they took two taels of silver and handed it over: "Er Huai, I will remember this love."
"Hey, why are you so polite? If I take it to the shipyard, I can't even sell it for 20 taels."
They may not be able to sell it for two taels, but they want to buy a new boat, and they can't afford it even if they don't have five taels. The two families are happy.
Qian Xiaoyu and Qian Xiaoxia happily got on the boat and looked around.
I am very happy that the brothers finally have their own fixed assets. They can go out on their own. With the two boats in the family, they and their parents can go to two different waters separately, and they can catch more fish.
Save some money.
The old boat was sold, so Yang Fu and Huo Erhuai moved the things from the old boat to the new boat and paid Xiaoyu to free up the boat.
After breakfast, the boats docked at Taoye Ferry started to leave one after another.
Brother Qian Xiaoyu shared a set of fishing gear and took the newly acquired boat to practice with great interest. It was the first time he left his parents to work alone, and he was very excited. He just wanted to show off and see if they came back in the evening.
There are more fish or more parents.
Huo Xi also asked Huo Erhuai to drive the boat towards Qianjin Village, and catch a few more nets before the sun came out along the way.
My family’s boat is bigger and the water tank is bigger, which can hold a lot of fish. But I didn’t get many fish in the morning.
Fortunately, we have the fish caught from the shrimp pot, crab pot and night net last night, so we can take it to the Zhao family.
The boat was too big to enter the small river channel of Qianjin Village, so they had no choice but to let Huo Erhuai stay on the boat. Huo Xi asked Yang to follow with Huo Nian in his arms, and entered the village with Yang Fu and four others.
With this kind of combination, the sky is clear and no one will make things difficult for us.
Moreover, Yang has a tough temperament and is a bit shrewd, so the casual village woman may not be her opponent. She also holds Huo Nian in her arms, which can dispel the villagers' wariness than Huo Erhuai when he enters the village.
Yang Fu and Huo Xi walked in front of Yang, each carrying a basket. Huo Xi carried shrimps and crabs, and Yang Fu carried a few fish weighing about two kilograms.
Huo Nian was held by Yang, looking around curiously in her arms, unable to stop looking.
When a family of four entered the village, people thought they were visiting relatives. When they heard that they were looking for Zhao Liang's family, they all gave them directions, and one child even ran ahead to show them the way.
"Who is it? Where is the guest coming?" After being informed by the village boy, Grandma Zhao hurriedly came out of the house.
Recognized at a glance.
"Oh, it's you. Come in, come in!"
As soon as her daughter-in-law, Zhao Liang's wife, heard that there was a guest at home, she also came out of the weaving room and asked, "Mom, who is here?"
At first glance, "Oh, it's you."
Together with Grandma Zhao, we warmly welcomed them in.
It was Yang's first time here, and she felt relieved when she saw the warm-hearted mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. She greeted her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law familiarly, and soon they started to get intimate with each other.
"Come here, let me hold the baby, and you can rest your hand."
Grandma Zhao's hands were already itchy when she saw Huo Nian with a pair of dark eyes twitching. She only has two grandchildren, the youngest one is fifteen years old, and he talks very little, so he is not as cute as a little kid.
She held Huo Nian in her hands and saw that he was not timid and was looking at her, so she immediately fell in love with him.
Huo Nian was teased and hugged, making Huo Nian giggle. Grandma Zhao became even more happy and refused to let go. The old and the young got along very harmoniously.
Aunt Zhao beside her was so excited that she wanted to drag her man along and have such a lovely baby.
"Why did you bring something here?"
The Zhao family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law felt very happy when they saw the two baskets filled with shrimps, crabs and fish. They felt that this family was thinking about each other and remembering the kindness of others.
"My family also has a boat. You brought these here. It's not easy for you to make a living on the water." Grandma Zhao declined with gratitude.
"Grandma Zhao, accept it. This is our wish. Last time, the strong wind and heavy rain damaged our boat and left us with no food to eat. If your family hadn't been willing to sell us food, we would have gone to the city to buy it.
It will cost a lot more.”
As soon as Huo Xixi finished speaking, Yang Fu also nodded.
The Zhao family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are extremely rare. I just think these two children are very sensible.
He said to Mrs. Yang: "You are very blessed. Your three sons will have a good life in the future. The children are so sensible."
Mrs. Yang liked this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law very much and did not hide it from them: "Xi'er is my daughter. For convenience, she dressed up as a boy outside. The older one is my brother." She told her family situation.
Zhao's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were very surprised. They pulled Huo Xi to look left and right, sighing that it was not easy. They sighed for a while.
Then he said to Yang Fu: "You are lucky. You have such a sister and brother-in-law who are willing to support you. You must be filial to them in the future."
Yang Fu nodded: "I will. My sister and brother-in-law are the best people in the world. In the future, I will treat them as my parents and be filial to them."
"Oh, this child is so sensible!" Just looking at this family's behavior, you can tell that they are not only good people, but also good at raising children.
Mrs. Yang also looked at Yang Fu with a look of relief. Over the years, she could not raise the children she gave birth to, but she raised her younger brother so well that he was worthy of his parents.
Zhao Liang, Zhao Ji and his father are not at home. Now there are only women and children in the house. Everyone is chatting happily. They are just like real relatives.
"Do you want to buy cloth?"
Yang nodded: "Do Aunt Zhao and Sister Zhao know where there is a weaver? We want to buy some. In addition to thick ones for curtains, we also want to buy some linen for clothes. You also know that we who make a living on the water save money all year round.
If I can buy cheap cloth in the village for no more than a few dollars..."
Yang suddenly felt a little embarrassed and couldn't say anything, as if she had come to take advantage of her own family.
"Hey, what's the point? Weaving cloth is for sale. Isn't selling it to you the same as selling it to a cloth merchant? Besides, it's very expensive for you to buy it at the cloth shop in the city, so there's no need."
Grandma Zhao added: "Every woman in our village can weave. My daughter started using the loom when she was seven or eight years old. Everyone is good at weaving. My daughter-in-law here is one of the best. She can weave one and a half pieces a day."
Woolen cloth."
Yang's mouth opened wide: "Wow, Sister Zhao is so good?" She knitted one and a half pieces a day, and she couldn't finish the clothes after changing them every day.
Zhao Qian suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "It's not possible to knit so much every day."
He said to Mrs. Yang: "Women here are good at weaving, and every house has a loom. Some young girls are faster than me. I have also saved some cloth at home these days. Sister, do you want to come with me and take a look?"
