Fang's mother is an idle person, after eating, cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and there is no habit of taking a nap, taking advantage of noon, she took a hoe to clean up the vegetable garden.

The fishing village used to rely on the sea for food, and there was no land, so each family was given a large piece of homestead. Fang's mother took out the land in front of the yard and planted small vegetables, which was enough for her own food all year round, saving her money from living in the countryside and going to the town to buy vegetables, which was a big expense.

Father Fang glanced outside, and it wasn't until Mother Fang came out of the yard that he said, "What's going on with your boat?" ”

Fang Jing smiled: "Didn't I tell you, the ship was loaded with oil, the temperature was too high, I don't know what was going on, the oil ignited, and the boat was burned." ”

Father Fang looked at him, and his voice raised twice: "Still not telling the truth?!" ”

"Dad, I'm telling you the truth." Fang Jing had a little headache.

The old man usually doesn't say a word, but it's much harder to coax than the old lady.

Father Fang was so angry that he patted the handle of the wheelchair: "You are as ignorant as your mother?" Tell me honestly, did you meet pirates?! ”

"Old Fang, what are you yelling about? Xiao Jing only came back in the morning, and you let him rest for a while. Fang's father's voice was a little high, and Fang's mother heard his loud voice in the vegetable garden outside, and immediately said unhappily.

Father Fang suppressed his voice again: "Your old man, my leg is crippled, but my brain is not crippled, do you think I am as easy to deceive as your mother?" Honestly, is it the pirate you just mentioned in the news? Did you bump into them? ”

Looking at Father Fang's knowing eyes, Fang Jing turned his head and didn't say anything, Father Fang immediately understood from his attitude and expression that he had guessed correctly.

"When Xiaole finishes his vacation, you will go back to Haicheng, and you will not be allowed to go to sea again in the future." Fang's father, who has always supported Fang Jing, finally stood on Fang's mother's side this time, "Even if you don't want to work in the museum, you can support yourself by finding a job casually, don't worry about me and your mother, we have a good meal at home, just have something to eat." ”

"Dad, I know it in my heart, and besides, won't I be okay this time? Let me tell you, Cen Jiu's kung fu is good, it's no problem to pick out ten, don't worry. ”

"No matter how good your kung fu is, can you beat the bullets? As I said in the news just now, those pirates are equipped with heavy weapons, and if it weren't for the coincidence of the coast guard, your mother and I would have collected the bodies of you both. Father Fang said earnestly, "Your mother and I are both old, and we don't expect your brothers to have more success, as long as you are safe, we can rest assured." ”

"Dad, I see." Fang Jing comforted Fang's father and wanted to push him into the house to take a nap.

Father Fang knew that he didn't listen, sighed heavily, and said, "You are so old, you have your own ideas for everything, and I can't control you, I just hope that before you do things in the future, just think about your family, think about your mother, and think about your brother." ”

After saying this, Dad Fang silently pushed the wheelchair back to the room.

Fang Jing didn't feel good in his heart, but it was definitely not okay to make him give up going to sea.

Cen Jiulei went out to practice without moving, Fang Jing summoned out the water bubbles, took a golden pearl out, and squinted his eyes to look at it in the sun.

This pearl is not large, only about ten millimeters in appearance, but the color is full and soft, and the shape is relatively round, and the sun shines, like a layer of golden light, which is particularly beautiful.

Due to the scarcity of gold pearls, the price has remained high, especially in recent years, the price has almost increased several times. In the nineties, such an ordinary small pearl was only more than 100 dollars and less than 200 dollars a gram, but now it has risen to 5 or 600 dollars a piece, and if it is a large gold pearl with a shape of more than 15 millimeters and relatively round, it is even more priceless, and it is difficult to find a pearl.

Fang Jing spread the gold pearls on the bed and counted them, there were sixty-eight in total, and they were about the original to pay tribute, so the shapes were relatively regular, although some of them lost their luster because of their age, but there were still forty-three intact gold pearls.

The shipwreck has been discovered by the state, presumably Jingcheng will also be lively recently, Dongzhuang as the closest fishing village to the site where the wreck was found, the Jingcheng government will not waste such a good resource in vain. Even if the government has no plans to develop a fishing village in the near future, he will find a way to take advantage of this opportunity to bring this quiet and traditional fishing village to the public's attention.

Fang Jing had a hunch that spring in Dongzhuang was coming, and all he had to do was how to catch up with others and seize the best opportunity.

If the words of Professor Lu and Qian Lao before only made him faintly have this idea, then the matter of the shipwreck made him even more determined.

Opportunities wait for no one, and if you miss this village, there will be no next store.

The only problem now is that there is no money!

Last time, he sold ebony for one million and forty thousand, and set aside 150,000 yuan for Fang Xiaole as an education fund, and nearly 900,000 yuan, plus the more than 20,000 yuan he saved from his previous work, a total of less than one million.

One million may be a lot of money in the eyes of the villagers, but for Fang Jing's plan, it is just a drop in the bucket, not even a fraction of it.

Fortunately, the shipwreck was not salvaged this time, but the treasures in the shipwreck were almost all collected into the water bubbles and brought back, those jewelry or something because it was too eye-catching, he didn't plan to sell it now, these gold pearls, he planned to sell a little first, and make some money to cover all the vacant land in the village, and when he had money in the future, he would build a vacation fishing village or something.

Fang Jing didn't plan to sell gold pearls in Jingcheng's jewelry store, because it was too eye-catching. He was still a little apprehensive about encountering pirates in his country's fishing area, and although the pirates were all caught in the end, Fang Jing's attitude was still very cautious.

Cen Jiu came in after practicing, probably just after taking a shower, and his hair was still dripping.

"Nanyang pearls?" He picked up a golden pearl and looked at it, "The condition is not bad." ”

Fang Jing raised his head: "Do you still look at pearls?" ”

Cen Jiu had a strange expression on his face: "Every time the Bagan envoy enters Beijing to pay tribute, he will bring a box of Nanyang pearls, and the ladies in the palace like it very much." ”

Purgan Emissary?

Fang Jing's mind turned around before he figured out that he was referring to Myanmar. Tuozen Jiu's blessing, Fang Jing now knows more about the history of the surrounding countries, but sometimes he can't turn it around all at once, and he has to convert it.

Since Cen Jiu said that the condition was good, then these dozens of golden pearls would definitely be sold for a lot of money, and Fang Jing was very confident in Cen Jiu's vision.

For the sake of Anfang's mother's heart, Fang Jing honestly rested at home for two days, except for accompanying Fang's father to go out for a walk in the morning and evening, he didn't even go out at other times. After being an old hen hatching eggs for a few days, Fang's mother finally relented and was willing to let him go out - Fang Xiaole was on summer vacation after the exam, and asked his brother to pick him up at school.

Of course, this has a lot to do with the phone call Fang Jing secretly made to Fang Xiaole the night before.

Anyway, the Queen Mother was gracious, and Fang Jing was finally able to go out.

There was a private car parked outside the school, all of which were parents who had come to pick up the students. When Fang Jing and Cen Jiu, two tall and handsome young guys, walked off the bus, they also attracted the attention of many mothers who were not young.

Fang Jing called Fang Xiaole before he came and asked him to wait in the dormitory. When the two arrived at the dormitory, Fang Xiaole was really inside, and the things on the bed had been packed.

"Brother, you're so slow!" When Fang Xiaole saw his brother, he was so happy that he was complaining, but the whole person rushed towards Fang Jing like a small train.

Fang Jing held his armpits with both hands, reluctantly lifted the person up, and said, "I said Little Ancestor, why are you heavy again?" I can't even hold you anymore. ”

Fang Xiaole laughed: "I'm growing up, I'm eating a lot." ”

Fang Jing put him down and touched his head: "Have you put everything away?" Is there anything else? ”

Because I won't be at school next semester, I have to take everything back to the dormitory.

"It's all here." Fang Xiaole pointed to a super large schoolbag on the stool, as well as a large suitcase, "There is only a quilt on the cushion." ”

This is simple, Cen Jiuer didn't say a word, stepped forward and folded the quilt together, then wrapped it in a sheet, and neatly put a burden.

He carried the incomparably large burden on his shoulders, carried Fang Xiaole's schoolbag in one hand, dragged the big suitcase in the other, and looked at the two brothers: "Can you go?" ”

Fang Jing: "......"

Fang Xiaole: "......"

Out of the dormitory, Fang Xiaole still looked at Cen Jiu with envy on his face, and secretly bit his brother's ear: "Brother, do you say that when I grow up in the future, I will have so much strength like Brother Jiu?" ”

Fang Jing looked at Fang Xiaole's thin arms and legs, he was really embarrassed to say yes against his will, and was silent for a while before comforting him and saying, "Your ninth brother is very talented, and most people don't have as much strength as him." ”

During the summer vacation, the students had a lot of luggage, and Fang Jing and the others squeezed into the car with a lot of effort and swayed all the way back to the fishing village.

Fang's mother had already cooked the meal, and the first thing she said when she saw Fang Xiaole was that she had lost weight, and the second sentence was whether you hadn't eaten at school.

"Didn't eat? He's as heavy as a piglet, and he can be killed after washing. Fang Jing took all the luggage and everything to Fang Xiaole's room and snorted.

"Why are you so annoying, do you say that about your brother?" Fang's mother patted her eldest son, thought about it, and smiled, "It seems to have grown a little taller." ”

She compared the height of the two brothers and came to a conclusion: "I think Xiaole is estimated to be a little taller than his brother in the future." ”

Father Fang nodded in agreement: "I think so." ”

Fang Jing: "......"

Please don't mention height.

There is already a Cen Jiu in the family who is taller than him, if he sees the big Fang Xiaole since he was a child, he will definitely be depressed to death.

Speaking of height, Fang's mother sighed, looked at Cen Jiu and said, "Is Xiao Cen also taller?" How do I feel that he is a little taller than the last time he came to the house. ”

Fang Jing: "......"

"It can't be." Fang Jing turned his head and pulled Cen Jiu unconvinced to compare his height with him.

In comparison, he was even more depressed.

When we first met, Cen Jiu was half a head taller than him, but now he seemed to be a little shorter than Cen Jiu.

Fang Jing didn't give up and took out a soft ruler and asked Fang Xiaole to help measure his height, Cen Jiu and he actually grew a centimeter taller.

It's not scientific!

"How old are you?"

Cen Jiu twisted his eyebrows, thought for a while, and said, "When my father-in-law picked me up, I seemed to be only three months old. ”

The doctor of Suzaku Hall has touched the bones, and it will definitely not be wrong.

"Getting to the point!" Fang Jing said a little bit of gritted teeth.

"I have lived with my stepfather for seventeen years, and I met you here the year after his death." Cen Jiu looked at Fang's mother, lowered his voice and said.

"So you're only nineteen?" Fang Jing was shocked.

Cen Jiu is actually only nineteen years old!

He actually kept calling a nineteen-year-old little hairy head brother, and he called him so many times!

No, if Cen Jiu didn't say it, who knew that his vicissitudes of face was only nineteen years old!

Should you be glad that Cen Jiu is at least an adult? Otherwise, he would have abducted a minor!

Fang Jing clutched his chest, feeling that the whole person was a little bad.

Back in the room, Fang Jing twisted Cen Jiu's cheeks: "You said that you have that tender face, how do you have the face to call yourself a brother?" ”

Cen Jiu held his hand and kissed the corner of his mouth: "Your face is too tender." ”

To be honest, seeing that Fang Jing's age on his ID card was twenty-five years old, Cen Jiu was also quite surprised, his face was as tender as a young boy, and he really didn't think that Fang Jing was actually twenty-five years old.

But for some unspeakable purpose, he never broke it.

And then the matter came to light today.

However, Fang Jing was only depressed for a while, and then quickly became happy again, sat on the bed, folded his legs, raised his chin, and smiled very proudly: "Xiao Jiu, call Brother Sheng to listen." ”

Great, he's still the biggest in the family! The position of the boss was retained.

Cen Jiu raised one leg, half-knelt on the bed, clasped Fang Jing's head, and kissed it.
