I haven't seen Wu Lao and his wife for a few days, and Wu Shuang's ears have been cleaned up a lot.

Hearing that his family's original two dilapidated houses also fell apart inexplicably, the Zhang family sent people to inquire about the whereabouts of the two in the village, wanting to collect debts.

Zhang Heng was frightened by Wu Shuang's last time, and he thought he was unlucky when he didn't find Second Uncle Wu, and he didn't dare to go to Wu Guitian's house to make trouble again, if he was thrown into the dry well by the sea god for a day and a half, he wouldn't be able to live.

Summer is rainy, and there are often big storms on the sea, but this year I saw the early autumn, and there were still big storms on the sea from time to time.

Wu Shuang and Song Qingyuan delivered the goods back, and when they saw that there was no one in the family, they knew that the three fathers and sons of the Wu family had not come back from going to sea.

Seeing that the wind and waves on the sea had risen, he and Wu Shuang put on their robes and ran to the beach.

There are many families on the shore who are looking forward to the safe return of their families.

Gradually, fishing boats came to shore, and these offshore fishing boats were still able to fight in the wind and waves.

Whenever a fishing boat docked, a family happily swarmed up and crowded people down.

The more Wu Shuang waited, the more anxious she became, and she couldn't help but clench Song Qingyuan's sleeves.

Song Qingyuan looked up at the sky and said, "Don't panic, they will definitely be fine." ”

There were fewer and fewer people on the coast, and finally only Wu Shuang and another family were left, and that family had only one woman, whose thin body could barely withstand the sea breeze blowing.

She cried in a low voice while waiting, crying so much that Wu Shuang's heart was pinched together.

She touched the koi imprint between her collarbones, begging God to give her good luck to the three fathers and sons of the Wu family.

Finally, a fishing boat broke through the wind, and the small hull swayed up and down in the waves, Wu Shuang was worried about whether it could hold up to the shore, and the trend of the boat looked like something was wrong.

The woman next to her ran a few steps forward, her calf was not in the water, she craned her neck to look, and when the boat was near, she suddenly collapsed on the ground, let the waves wash over her.

Wu Shuang had long seen that it was the Wu family's fishing boat, the boat docked, and the three fathers and sons came down together, their faces pale.

Sure enough, there was a problem with the hull, the planks were loose, and the boat was leaking as it went, and it was a real fate that they would come back alive.

Wu Guitian wiped a handful of water from his face and urged a few children, "Come back quickly, it's going to be sick if it's raining this day." ”

Wu Shuang glanced back at the woman, and she was the only one left on the vast seaside.

Wu Guitian also took a look at it, and sighed: "Let her wait a little longer, she won't listen to her at this time." ”

After the rain, everyone packed up their fishing boats on the shore, and the Wu family also gathered around his family's fishing boats.

Wu Shuang was also worried about the woman that day, and quietly asked Wu Xiuwen when she was free.

Wu Xiuwen said that their fishing boat was the last to return, and no boat came back since.

The hull of the ship has a lot of damage, and it may be difficult to repair it by simple repair, Wu Guitian squatted on the bow of the boat and sighed with a cigarette pouch, "Go to He's house to find a boatman to take a look." ”

The best craftsmen in the village are in the He family's shipyard, and they usually invite them when they encounter problems that they can't solve by themselves, but the cost is not small.

The fishing boat can't always be so close, stopping for a day is a day's loss, and the family is waiting to open their mouths to eat.

Wu Xiuwu jumped off the boat, "I'll go." ”

Wu Xiuwen, who had been looking at the hull of the ship, suddenly spoke, "Why don't you let me try." ”

Wu Xiuwu hesitated, "Brother, can you do it?" ”

Wu Shuang felt that although her eldest brother didn't talk much on weekdays, he had an idea, and since he said this, it showed that he was a little sure in his heart.

"Dad, it's better to let the eldest brother try it, it's not too late to find the boatmen of the He family if it doesn't work." Wu Shuang said.

Wu Guitian snuffed out the cigarette, "Okay, boss, you can try." ”

Wu Xiuwen took Wu Xiuwu and Song Qingyuan up the mountain to cut down trees.

A few people moved quickly, and after a short time, they brought back a tree and put it at the door to cut and polish.

Wu Xiuwu went to beg Wu Shuang for water shirtless, and was kicked on the calf by Wu Guitian.

"You bastard, you still have a sister at home, you should be the only one in the family before, hurry up and put on your clothes."

Wu Xiuwu didn't expect this, scratched his head, turned around and put on his clothes, followed by Wu Xiuwen and Song Qingyuan.

Wu Xiuwen was long, looking like a scholar, not like he was doing hard work, he had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, he raised his hand to wipe it, and took the water handed by Wu Shuang.

Wu Guitian looked at his eldest son like this, and his heart suddenly became sour.

It's all because he is useless and can't let his son participate in the scientific expedition.

Wu Xiuwen was smart when he was a child, and there was a private school in the town at that time that opened a primary school, and Wu Xiuwen followed outside the door when he passed by, and he learned better than the children in the school.

Mr. cherished his talent, made an exception to accept him as an auditor, and asked him to do some chores in the school to pay for the tuition.

Later, when Mr. was old and moved to his children's house to support the elderly, the school was also dispersed, and Wu Guitian had no money to send him to continue studying, so he could only let him come back and work with him.

But Wu Xiuwen would still save money to buy books, and write and draw on them.

In a small place like Anhai Village, most of the people in the village are facing the loess with their backs to the sky, and there are very few people who can read and write, Dr. Zhang at the foot of the mountain is one, and then there is Wu Xiuwen.

After the wood was polished and carried to the beach, Wu Xiuwen took out a crumpled piece of straw paper from his arms, looked at it for a while, and then began to direct his younger brothers to start work.

Wu Xiuwu and Song Qingyuan gave Wu Xiuwen a hand and handed things, Wu Shuang was responsible for delivering meals to several people, and the family had a clear division of labor.

Wu Xiuwen lowered his head to find a cloth to wipe his sweat, and suddenly handed over a fine handkerchief with a fragrant breeze in front of him, which looked like something for a woman.

As soon as I raised my eyes, I saw He Xuejiao say drippingly: "Brother Xiuwen, use mine." ”

Wu Xiuwen touched his face with his sleeve, "No need." ”

He Xue circled around their fishing boat, as if she knew what to do, "Your fishing boat is too badly damaged, I'm afraid it will be difficult to repair it myself, if you want, you can rent a better fishing boat from my house." ”

Wu Xiuwen glanced at her, "We can't afford the rent." ”

"No rent." He Xue said loudly.

"Don't want rent?" Wu Xiuwu stopped what he was doing and looked at He Xue in surprise.

This Miss He is a dime indefatigable, a well-known iron rooster, how can she be so kind?

"There are conditions, too." He Xue blushed and wanted to say nothing, "As long as you come to my house to help, you can use the labor money to offset the rent." ”

There was also a fisherman working next to him, and while he was busy with his own work, he listened to it and said with a smile: "How long will it take?" It can't be a lifetime, right? He Xue is planning to let you sell your eldest brother and buy a boat. ”

How can the wages of the helpers be worth the rent of the fishing boats, He Xue obviously has something to say.

Wu Xiuwen's face was displeased, "The sun is big on the beach, Miss He should not stay for a long time, you better please go back." ”

He Xue felt that the conditions she proposed were good, but she didn't expect to be rejected by Wu Xiuwen.

Although Wu Xiuwen can write and calculate, he is clever and good-looking, but no matter how he says it, he is also from a poor fisherman, she can look down on him, that is his blessing, he doesn't know how to cherish it.

He Xue was annoyed and angry, and pointed at Wu Xiuwen, "Don't be ignorant." ”

Wu Shuang made dinner and sent it, and as soon as she got closer, she heard the noise here, and saw He Xue standing next to her family's broken boat wearing silk and satin, with a broken face, and she didn't know who to be angry with.

She took out the water bladder from the basket and handed it to Wu Xiuwen, and glanced at He Xue, "What kind of wind blew Miss He here today, the soup and water on the ground, don't splash you, we can't afford to pay for it then." ”

Song Qingyuan pulled Wu Shuang over and whispered what had just happened, and Wu Shuang's eyes were full of admiration when he looked at He Xue again.

"Miss He really doesn't lose to men, this coercion and temptation to rob people and men can be done, our family is not rich, but it can't sell her son."

Wu Xiuwen is a Sven person, thin-skinned, and can't say ugly things, let her be this bad person.

"You! When did I say that, don't spew blood! He Xue's face turned red.

She suddenly thought that she had heard the people in the village talk about it before, saying that Wu Guitian himself was so poor that he couldn't open the pot, how could he adopt a daughter for no reason, and it was clear that he wanted to pick up a daughter-in-law for these two boys in his family.

Wu Xiuwen is the eldest of the Wu family, so he should naturally get married first, so this daughter-in-law Bacheng was picked up for him.

Thinking of this, the more He Xue looked at Wu Shuang, the more she felt that it was an eyesore, she was originally a stupid and ugly girl, but now she is so smart, it is really evil, she and Wu Xiuwen are surprisingly compatible when they stand together.

It must be because of this little that Wu Xiuwen rejected her.

He Xue was so angry that she kicked over the wooden box containing the tools next to her.

She took the servants and maids away, leaving the people of the Wu family in place to wonder - what kind of madness did this Miss He family make, scolding for a while and making trouble for a while.

He Xue walked out of Anhai Village and went straight to the Yipinlou in the town.

Yipinlou is one of the largest restaurants in the town, and has been the leader for many years, but recently Yipinlou has encountered trouble.

The newly opened He Xinglou has attracted many people because of its novel dishes and fair prices, and even the old customers who used to frequent the store have left.

Boss Li frowned, sitting on the second floor and thinking about countermeasures with a little wine.

Just thinking about it, Xiao Er said that a girl surnamed He had come, and it was said that she could offer advice, so Boss Li hurriedly invited someone up.

He Xue got straight to the point, "The reason why He Xinglou's business can do so well is because of a person named Wu Shuang in the final analysis. ”

Boss Li's eyes lit up, he knew that He Xinglou had two dishes that sold very well, and he had also tasted them, and they were absolutely extraordinary.

"You're saying that she made the 'crispy fish fillet' and the 'finger snail'? "He once asked the chef in the restaurant to try to replicate it, but no one succeeded.

He Xue nodded.

"Where is this person?"
