60. Chapter 060

really wants to settle down on the island, Shen Shu is actually a little unaccustomed to it, after all, he has been looking for almost two months before, and when he was about to complete the first thing, there was an accident. The whole process seems to be so tortuous, but when it is really settled, even the time to think is added up, and it doesn't even take a day.

After making up his mind with the old patriarch, Shen Shu did not continue to stay on the island, but took Cui Yijing back to the shore first.

After all, she came to visit Yue Donghai, and she was originally going to come in the morning and go back in the evening, but she disturbed the two old men for a night because of an accident. This family is not wealthy, in order to entertain her and Cui Yijing, plus she can't eat fish, and I don't know how long she was going to eat rice and vegetables.

In such a situation, you should not continue to disturb people.

However, when she left, she left behind the things she was originally going to buy for her relatives in Yue Donghai. The two old men originally said that they didn't want anything, but Shen Shu reluctantly accepted it.

Leaving Liuli Island, it was sent by boat in the East China Sea. On the way back, Shen Shu learned that this was his own ship while chatting.

For the Viet family, who have been fishing for generations and spend most of their time adrift on the water, a boat is more important than a house. The pursuit of the Yue family man in his life is to have a boat of his own, and this desire is further sublimated, it is two boats, three boats. Besides, there is nothing else.

Yue Donghai is only eighteen years old now, and he actually has his own boat, and he earned it himself, which made Shen Shu a little surprised. She had guessed that Yue Donghai might have no relatives alive, and when she went to the beach with that group of children this morning, her situation was equivalent to buying a house in full without relying on parental funding in later generations, and she deserved praise no matter what.

When Yue Donghai talked to Shen Shu about his ship, his radiant appearance really made people feel the vitality of the young man.

This is not to say that Shen Shu feels old, but the combined age of the two worlds is almost thirty years old, and he is always incomparable with a real young man.

chatting all the way, he soon returned to the mainland.

Shen Shu took Cui Yijing to stand on the dock and waved goodbye to Yue Donghai.

Before leaving, he couldn't help but ask Shen Shu, "Miss Shen, are you ...... Are you going to settle down on the island?"

When Shen Shu was talking to the old patriarch just now, he didn't eavesdrop, because he only guessed and couldn't verify the results.

Shen Shu was a little surprised that he would actually care about this issue, but this was not something that could not be said, and nodded back, "I have made up with the old patriarch before I came, and I will probably start preparing in the near future." โ€

When Yue Donghai heard this, his eyes lit up suddenly, "I don't plan to go to sea recently, if there is anything I need help with, Miss Shen just asks." โ€

Shen Shu glanced at him carefully, then retracted his gaze and nodded, "Then I'll thank you here first." This is not just lip service, but I really feel that eight out of ten / nine will need his help, because after all, it is on the territory of the Yue family, and then I will be neighbors with the Yue family. Not to mention that she also has the special example of Cui Yijing.

After seeing Yue Donghai take the boat and leave, Shen Shu took Cui Yijing to live in an inn not far from the pier that looked more standardized. Because of the relatively large flow of people here, and the fact that there is basically money in maritime trade, the upper rooms of the inn are often more sought-after, and Shen Shu simply โ–กโ–ก the room money for more than half a month at a time.

Because she couldn't move to Liuli Island for a while. Not to mention a ready-made house over there, there is no better house, a house for a family, and there is no superfluity at all. If Shen Shu wants to live, she can only build a house by herself, and building a house involves many things, first of all, the site selection problem, then the layout problem, as well as construction materials and so on.

It is precisely because of this series of problems that she decided to live next to the dock here, and then hire someone from the island to pick her up in the morning and send her back in the evening, and live here at night.

Shen Shu is not familiar with the construction of this piece, and someone needs to check it. As for the candidates, she will give priority to finding them from the Yue family, but from what she observed before, the house construction skills of the Yue family have not yet reached her standards, and it is estimated that she will have to find someone else.

Not to mention that people on the mainland are reluctant to go to the island to work, generally speaking, there is just not enough money, and in the absence of a life-and-death feud, there is nothing that cannot be solved by double the salary. If there is, then three times.

Because it was better to follow Yue Donghai, Shen Shu took Cui Yijing to the dock early the next morning to wait for him, but he didn't expect that when they passed, he was already waiting there. Tall and muscular, sitting cross-legged on the bow of the boat, holding his chin in one hand and looking into the distance, he didn't know what he was thinking.

Shen Shu approached and called him, "Why are you here so early?"

Yue Donghai came back to his senses at this time, "It's not too early." โ€

Shen Shu didn't really think it was too early because he said that. At this time, the sun showed only one head on the sea, the clouds on the horizon were dyed orange, and the ships anchored on the dock, and some of the boatmen had not woken up from their sleep. And don't forget, he came from Liuli Island to hold the boat.

If you come so early, you must not have taken care of eating breakfast, but Shen Shu had considered this problem before, and last night she instructed the guys in the inn to prepare it early in the morning, and then pack a copy to take away, which is for Yue Donghai.

Shen Shu took Cui Yijing on the boat, and Yue Donghai was about to hold the boat and leave, but she stopped her, "Here, let's eat first, it will be cold in a while, anyway, I don't rush this time." As she spoke, she handed over the morning in her hand.

Yue Donghai only hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand to take it, he was not picky, he ate it all in three or two, and then set off towards Liuli Island with the boat.

After arriving on the island, unexpectedly there were more than a dozen children waiting at the ferry, and when they saw the boat coming from the East China Sea, they opened their throats one by one and called him "Brother East China Sea", and then looked at Shen Shu and Cui Yijing with curious eyes.

Yue Donghai explained to Shen Shu that the patriarch had temporarily summoned everyone and told her about staying on the island, and most of the people had no opinion on this, and the voices of the few who opposed it were directly ignored. However, the patriarch did not ignore it, and after the matter was finished, he left a few people alone to talk.

In other words, the people on the island knew that they were about to have a neighbor with a foreign surname, and the children naturally knew about it, so they came here early in the morning to wait.

Being watched by a pair of pure and bright eyes, Shen Shu didn't feel awkward, and after getting off the boat, she waved to these children, and they swarmed around her, squeezing Yue Donghai aside.

Shen Shu touched their heads one by one, and then divided two pieces of candy. She had been prepared for a long time, but she didn't know that this scene would happen in advance, but to thank these children for being her and Cui Yijing's guide yesterday. She didn't know how many children there were on the island, and he didn't know much when she asked Yue Donghai later, Shen Shu simply brought some more candy, anyway, she was not afraid of having a surplus, but she was afraid that it would be embarrassing if it was not enough.

Children's resistance to candy and snacks is basically zero, after Shen Shu gave candy, the friendship between the two sides was quickly established, and before they reached the village, everyone called Shen Shu "Sister Shen" and Cui Yijing "Brother Jing".

Not only the children, but other people are actually quite curious, after all, Shen Shu is not short of money at a glance, I don't know why I can't figure out why I want to live on the island, you must know that the people on the shore basically look down on people here.

So when Shen Shu appeared at the entrance of the village with a group of children, he saw that the doors of every house were opened one after another, and people came out one after another.

After coming to the Southern Dynasty for more than three years, it was the first time to be watched by so many people, Shen Shu was a little unaccustomed, but he was soon relieved, and after greeting everyone, he began to get busy with business, and walked around the village, during which he took a simple self-made tool to simply measure a few addresses that looked good, and finally spent a morning to temporarily set three places, as for which place is more convenient to build a house and so on, it needs to be handed over to professionals.

She prioritized the Yue family. I went directly to the old patriarch and asked if anyone could do this kind of work, and the result was as she guessed, no one knew this craft, and the Yue family hardly knew anything else except that he was good at fishing.

Shen Shu could only bring up the second option and hire someone to come over on the shore. This, the result was also expected by her, the craftsman she fancied refused to go to Liuli Island at first, and began to waver after Shen Shu offered twice the salary, and when she turned it up by 5 percent, the other party agreed.

After that, it took a few days to determine where the house would be built, how it would be built, and what materials to be used, and the start of construction was put on the agenda. Because of the transportation troubles, it was finally decided to use local materials on the island, which required manpower. Shen Shu told the old patriarch that he was willing to spend money to hire someone to help, and the salary was calculated according to the shore, but the old patriarch refused, saying that everyone would be neighbors in the future, how could this kind of thing be charged, just provide two meals.

Shen Shu felt that this request was a little difficult to handle, because she couldn't cook, let alone cook for so many people. In the end, I privately asked Sister-in-law Lan, who lived next to Yue Donghai, to help me. This time, she didn't plan to raise her salary, but planned to directly convert it into the corresponding grain and vegetables and send it to Sister-in-law Lan.

There are more than 100 households on Liuli Island, most of them are very enthusiastic, the so-called number of people is powerful, Shen Shu's house was completed a long time earlier than expected with the help of so many people. Seeing this, she pondered for a moment, then called in the craftsmen who were in charge of supervising the construction, and soon decided to build a simple school building not far from her home, so that she could teach the children of the island in the future.

After she finished it, she asked the Yue family to transport the furniture she had set in the morning back to the island.

The housewarming was delighted, and Shen Shu held a banquet on the island for two days, and then officially began her life on the island.
