Chapter 340: Good News
"Xiaohai, I forgot to tell you something."
As soon as Bei Hai came out of the backyard, Lu Xinping stopped his son.
"What?"
"When you went to fish for consumption, Xiao Qi called and said that the shipowners association invited you to a meeting!" Lu Xinping said.
Bei Hai felt a little bored when he heard it, to say that there are really a lot of this and that in the life of Americans, this shipowners association is still quite reliable, in the United States even catch rats and cockroaches in people's homes have associations, and every year in the United States to recruit a conference, when the whole United States is famous for catching rats and killing termites will get together, and it is an honor to be invited.
Bei Hai thought for a while and said to his mother: "I'll call later, go over and ask, if there is nothing special, let him go for me."
The influence of the shipowners in the whole of Gloucester is not small, and it can even affect the laws and regulations in some places, if it is important, Bei Hai still has to go to see it, or its own interests may be damaged.
As soon as Bei Hai raised his foot, he heard his mother say, "When you finish eating later, you go buy some fruit and come back with not much fruit at home."
"Well, I'll go later, whatever is available at home, I'll just eat something," Bei Hai said. Although there are some fruits on their island, they are mainly coconuts, accompanied by a small amount of avocados and mangoes, and you don't have bananas or the like, but on the nearby island with villages, these fruits are everything, and they are all natural without chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
Lu Xinping didn't say much after hearing it, and eating here is also a very casual thing. Reaching out to pick something to feed herself, Lu Xinping didn't care too much about what her son was eating: "There are still two pieces of chicken breast in the refrigerator at home, do you want to warm it up for you?" I'll give you a list later."
"Okay!" Bei Hai nodded when he heard that there was chicken breast to eat.
Watching my mother enter the house and give herself hot chicken Bei Hai walked to the door and looked into the yard, and now there are two big and two small yards playing beach soccer on the beach at the entrance of the courtyard. An adult with a girl is playing with the wind and water.
"Does anyone want to wait a while and go to the outer islands with me to buy fruit?" Bei Hai put his hand together and put it to his mouth, shouting loudly at the four of them.
I heard that I went to the outer islands, Li Ming thought it was very interesting, stepped on the ball under his feet, and asked Hu Sanding, "Why don't we go and see it together."
Hu Sanding didn't know if it was because his head suddenly opened up or what, so instead of answering, Li Ming asked his teammate Mi'er, "Mi'er." Isn't the outer island fun? ”。
Mi'er immediately shook her little head like a rattle: "It's not fun at all, most of the places still stink, and there are sheep feces or something on the road from time to time."
Hearing this, Hu Sanding was disgusted, and Li Ming naturally didn't have any interest here.
Li Ming shouted at Bei Hai: "Don't go, go by yourself!" ”。
Bei Hai was a little far away, and he didn't hear Hu Sanding's question to Mi'er, so he couldn't help muttering: "It's weird, I can't find a coolie."
"That's it! Hurry up and eat," Bei Hai saw that no one was going with him, so he turned his head back to the house, and as soon as he sat down, his mother came out with a big bowl, which was scrambled eggs, fried rice, and covered with one or two small pieces of white and tender chicken breast. There are also two small greens on the side, plus half a hard-boiled egg.
Seeing this shape, Bei Hai took the bowl and praised his mother loudly: "Mom, how can I have such a high treatment today, this is fried rice and half an egg, and I also talked about the halo and vegetarian matching." After speaking, he opened his mouth to the mouth of the bowl and began to pick up rice in his mouth.
Lu Xinping didn't say it, but fortunately, when he said it, Bei Hai couldn't help crying and laughing.
"This bowl of fried rice is fried by me for Weiwei, but today Weiwei dislikes it and has no appetite, I don't want to eat this after two bites, and half an egg is also left over from her, these didn't have much to eat in a big pot of diced fruit or anything, and the greens were originally a big plate so that Weiwei ate almost ......."
"Mom! Mother! Bei Hai stretched out his hand to interrupt his mother's words and said jokingly: "Can we not say so much detail in the future, you can just say it." Don't say anything left over from your daughter-in-law, I know that you will hurt people and have a good relationship, but don't say it in front of me, you see that my heart is cold and cold."
Lu Xinping stretched out his hand and patted his son's back twice: "It's just your words." You can't bet on anything to eat! ”。
Bei Hai closed his mouth and ate his meal, and then listened to his mother nagging in his ear, making something for Weiwei tonight, and eating something tomorrow. Now Lu Xinping is just thinking about how to make her daughter-in-law's appetite better.
In less than five minutes, Bei Hai's bowl turned to the sky, and as soon as he put the bowl on the table next to him, Bei Hai asked his mother, "That's right." You can call my dad later, and ask him to come with Du He, don't miss the plane. I'm really a little worried about him alone, or I'll follow my father-in-law and their family."
With Li Weiwei's due date approaching. A large family of people also came here, Bei Yuanming didn't want to miss his grandchildren landing, Li Yongjun naturally had to come over, and even Jiang Huizhi had to come over to see his little granddaughter. Those who like and dislike have to come, and there is no way for Bei Hai to refuse, so let's treat them well.
"Your father's old thing said that he should come with your friend, he is not comfortable with your father-in-law" Lu Xinping opened his mouth and complained: "Now I think about going to work all day long and don't look at what time it is, why don't I come here to serve soon, I don't have any eyesight, as if the grandson of the Lao Bei family is ...... alone."
As soon as Bei Hai heard that the old lady had turned on the chatter mode again, he immediately excused himself and ran away: "Mom, then I'll call Qi Yiming here, and then I'll set off."
After speaking, without waiting for the old lady to respond, he walked to the back room.
Lu Xinping naturally stopped talking and shouted to his son's back: "Be careful when driving the boat, be slow and don't go down the mountain to grab things."
"I know" is still very useful for the care Bei Hai in her mother's words, and sometimes there are things that make people warm in an ordinary sentence.
Li Weiwei is now sitting on the recliner in the back room, bulging his belly as if he was carrying a big leather ball inside, and the long plain maternity clothes have not been able to cover the tumbling belly.
"What's wrong?" Hearing a movement, Li Weiwei opened his eyes and asked when he saw Bei Hai coming in.
"Grab your shoes and your phone, and then go to the outer islands," Bei Hai said.
Li Weiwei smiled and reminded Bei Hai: "Aren't you no longer here, there are no electronic products within a few meters of this house, and your mobile phone and shoes are in the room of your mother's room."
"Whew! How did I forget this" Bei Hai reached out and patted his head, then leaned over and put his hand on his wife's belly and said, "Are these two little things making trouble?" As soon as I finished asking, I felt that my hand had a feeling, and the little thing moved.
"I'm really my father, you can feel this little thing as soon as you speak, alas, it moved again" Bei Hai said excitedly.
Li Weiwei looked at Bei Hai happily and said, "Okay, you hurry up and call your phone, didn't my mother say to let you buy fruit, go early and come back early!" ”。
"Hmm!" Bei Hai listened and kissed his wife on the stomach, and then kissed Li Weiwei's forehead, and then turned around and walked out of the back room.
"Brother Qi? What kind of demon moths are there in the shipowner's meeting? After a few words of greeting on the phone, Bei Hai asked.
Qi Yiming didn't think about it and replied directly: "What else can I do, it's not a protest against the government's reduction of offshore tuna fishing again, and the kind of fishing gear you invented I heard that it will not be used in offshore waters from this year's fishing season."
"No, no, no, anyway, this thing doesn't have much income for a year now," Bei Hai heard that the fishing gear he invented was banned by the Fisheries Management Committee, and said in passing, Bei Hai is fishing in the high seas of the Atlantic, and the amount of sea catch has nothing to do with him. But it is conceivable that this decision will affect the livelihood of many fishermen, so there is a chance that this conference will be held, well, almost ten dozen shipowners will organize protests here, and if you don't let the fishermen, you will lose some of your livelihood, can you not make a fuss.
"Another question is that I read the news, the Japanese government is ready to promote the protection regulations of tuna in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and it is estimated that the agreement will be signed in the next two days," Qi Yiming said happily.
Bei Hai was also happy when he heard it: "This is a good thing for us!" ”。
No matter what the agreement is, and the catch is mainly involved in juvenile fish, according to the American standard, that is, tuna below eighty-five centimeters, this part of the fish is not within the target of Beihai at all, it is said that it has an impact, it can also affect the income of Xu Heng's fleet operation, the impact on Beihai is completely positive, the catch is less, according to the relationship between supply and demand, the price will naturally rise.
"I hope that most of the shipowners will unite this time...... Qi Yiming said happily as he reported to Bei Hai the situation of the Gloucester Shipowners' Association.
After hearing this, Bei Hai thought for a while and said, "That's okay! You tell them, I'll be back in two days! ”。 After thinking about it for a while, Bei Hai felt that it was better to stir up the affairs of the shipowners' association, sometimes people can't be too detached from the group, and the relationship between Lao and the United States and China is half a catty.
