Chapter 018: Be a buddy
On the day he picked up more than 60 catties of hairtail fish, Mu Chenze did not go to sea.
Tonight's prawns were discovered at his prompting.
Could it be that God favored it, but Mu Chenze quietly gave it away?
Ask him in person tomorrow.
At six o'clock in the morning the next day, Chu Xuan got up, and he didn't go to catch the sea during the day today, but waited for the construction team at home.
The structure of the new house, the height of the courtyard wall need to be communicated, and the toilet and stove room are also planned.
In fact, it is more convenient to have a well at home, but it is too close to the sea to get fresh water, so you need to go to the stream at the other end of the village to fetch water.
The stream is the water of a mountain spring coming down from the mountains, and the water is clear and sweet.
The water tank at home has bottomed out, and Chu Xuan went out with a bucket.
When I arrived at the stream, I happened to meet Mu Chenze who also came to fetch water.
Take the initiative to say hello, "Didn't go to sea today?" ”
"That's right."
Mu Chenze put down his flat burden and took the empty bucket to prepare to fetch water.
Chu Xuan saw that there was no one around, so he asked the doubts in his heart, "Did you put yesterday's prawns there in advance?" ”
Mu Chenze looked at the big fool with a look of disgust, and replied, "How idle am I to go to the beach to put shrimp in advance for you?" Don't put gold on your face, make yourself amorous! ”
Fill two buckets of water and leave without looking back.
Chu Xuan touched his nose slightly embarrassed, he asked recklessly today.
didn't notice that Mu Chenze didn't dare to breathe a sigh of relief after walking out of more than ten meters.
It seems that this kind of stupid thing can not be done again in the future.
It's just that the water tank has to be filled several times.
When I picked the second and third trips, I met Chu Xuan again.
Chu Xuan didn't take the initiative to talk to him.
Until the fourth trip, after Mu Chenze filled the bucket, he took the initiative to talk to Chu Xuan, with a smile on his face, "I heard that your family built a new house today, and the construction team contracted labor and materials?" ”
"Yes."
"If you need help, just call me."
"No, I don't. Lest the villagers misunderstand. Mu Chenze, I'm actually curious. Why don't you hate me, but help me? ”
Mu Chenze no longer concealed it, "Because I passed by the Chu family's old mansion that day and overheard the conversation between you and Feng Chunhua, I knew that Feng Chunhua forced you to calculate me and my family." After marriage, she will be subsidized hundreds of yuan a month, and the money will increase in the future, she really dares to ask for it! I am very grateful for your kindness in not marrying. So if there is anything that needs me in the future, just ask. ”
After saying that, he was relaxed.
Chu Xuan didn't expect him to learn the truth, "It's good if you don't blame me." It's that I can't live with you. I've been feeling guilty all this time! ”
"What's there to feel guilty about? That's not what you intended. In the future, I, Mu Chenze, will treat you as a friend and a buddy. Let's go! ”
Mu Chenze carried water and left.
Chu Xuan muttered in a low voice, "It's good to be a buddy!" ”
Since the shrimp was not secretly given by Mu Chenze, then she was not welcome.
Chu Xuan returned home, made boiled prawns, and had a good time eating with Xiaofeng.
Mu Chenze returned home, and when he saw Qin Mahua's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, he couldn't help laughing, "Mother, just ask whatever you want." ”
Qin Mahua made a gesture of counting the money, "You didn't go to sea today, did you go to collect and sell fish again?" I see you're on the pillow and have no money. ”
Mu Chenze's hearty laughter sounded, and he took out a stack of money from his pocket, "Here!" More than 400 pieces. ”
Qin Mahua happily took it, and asked while counting, "Is it still a fish this time?" ”
"It's not. It's abalone. Leave a few in our stove room. I've had breakfast, go back to my room to catch up on sleep, don't disturb me. ”
Mu Chenze walked into the bedroom.
After a while, I heard Qin Mahua's surprised voice, "I'm Diniang, how many are these?" It's a bunch of abalone! It's good to keep it and sell it for money, isn't it a waste to eat too much? ”
Fortunately, he didn't go into the house to disturb Mu Chenze.
Mu Chenze wouldn't tell anyone that the pile of abalone actually wanted to secretly subsidize Chu Xuan, which had already aroused Chu Xuan's suspicion and couldn't do that anymore.
Otherwise, after revealing the filling, Chu Xuan would definitely convert the hairtail fish and prawns into money for him.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the construction team entered Chu Xuan's house, a total of ten people, and the man headed by him was called Lin Lou.
Today, first demolish the house, draw lines and dig the foundation.
The two rooms and the courtyard wall that collapsed before were demolished, and they were all broken earth embryos and rotten wood.
Lin Lou suggested that Chu Xuan should tear down the remaining two rooms and build new ones after building a new house and moving in in the future.
Chu Xuan also thought so, but he didn't have that much money in his hand at the moment.
At least earn more than 1,000 before you can build it again.
At around ten o'clock in the morning, Gao Meijuan and her daughter came over to help.
Gao Meijuan's daughter Wang Shasha is the same age as Chu Feng this year, but she is a head taller than Chu Feng.
This made Chu Xuan more aware of the need to nourish his little brother.
At noon, I made stir-fried clams, pork belly and shrimp stewed cabbage vermicelli, steamed mixed noodles steamed buns, and boiled mung bean soup.
Mixed noodles are cornmeal and white flour, which taste sweet.
With fragrant dishes, the construction workers ate happily and satisfied, and worked more energetically in the afternoon.
By the time the work was started, the foundation had already been dug and laid with stones, red bricks, concrete, etc.
There are not many materials left to build the house that I pulled over today, and I need to pull some more tomorrow.
I didn't pull it over all at once, because I considered that there was no courtyard wall here, and it was easy to be robbed.
Hearing that Qiu Daguang had been arrested, he took it all in, and Qi Hong retreated.
At about eight o'clock in the evening, Chu Xuan came to the beach with sea tools.
Although she was very tired today, she still couldn't stop her enthusiasm for catching the sea.
Eat the sea by the sea.
She wants to pick up more seafood and earn more money.
Mu Chenze, who was walking on the beach after eating, still saw Chu Xuan at a glance even if the light was not good.
The main thing is that her figure is large enough.
Didn't bother her this time.
Chu Xuan took a flashlight and followed the low tide of the sea.
Saw a sea bass of three or four pounds.
Put down the bucket and grab it directly to the bucket with ease.
Continue walking forward and pick up a fifteen-centimeter-long sea cucumber.
A school of herring was also seen stranded.
The mackerel is small and has a lot of spines, but it is fragrant when it is fried!
After a while, half a bucket was picked up.
Walking forward again, I saw a dozen sea urchins.
The thorns all over the body are moving, and they are all alive.
Had some luck today, I slipped it into the bucket with a clamp.
The sea urchin is delicious, but Chu Xuan is reluctant to eat it, and plans to go to the dock to sell it in a while.
The purchase price of sea urchin varies, depending on the quality.
After picking up the sea urchin, Chu Xuan found another sea bass and grabbed it into the bucket.
He walked forward again and picked up two sea cucumbers that were seventeen or eighteen centimeters long, chubby, each weighing half a catty.
Chu Xuan took it when he saw it, and walked back with the bucket.
Whenever they met a villager who was rushing to the sea, they would shine a flashlight on Chu Xuan's bucket.
Everyone thinks that she has been doing well in shipping recently, and they are curious about what good goods she has picked up.
When he arrived at the dock, Chu Xuan went straight to Li Tong's stall, "The herring fish is not sold, the rest will be sold to you." ”
"Okay."
Li Tong weighed them separately.
There are two sea bass, seven catties and four taels, and sea urchins three catties and seven taels.
When it was his turn to weigh the sea cucumber, Chu Xuan stretched out his hand to stop it, "We are all so ripe, the sea cucumber is directly priced." ”
I thought in my heart that the quality of the three sea cucumbers was very good, and the scarcity was expensive, and it would never be sold if it was less than eighty yuan.
Unexpectedly, Li Tong looked embarrassed, "The last time the price was because a customer was in a hurry, and I had to weigh it today, the quality was good, so I would press fifteen pounds." These three only have more than a catty, if you don't agree, you can take it to the county hotel and sell it yourself, maybe you can sell it at a good price. ”
