Chapter 212: A Little Later is Fine
Chapter 212: A Little Later is Fine
Zhou Chengxin was taken aback. Buying stalls and shops was something he had never considered.
His current goal was to purchase a ship.
Zhou Father immediately picked up on the key point!
Several!
Tea Caihua also caught on and quickly asked, "How many did you buy?"
Zhou Chenglei didn't hide the truth, "Ten stalls and five shops."
Tea Caihua was stunned, "Is that cheap?"
She wouldn't even buy ten apples, so when she heard that they bought ten stalls and five shops, she instinctively felt it was a bargain and a great deal, otherwise, Jiang Xia wouldn't have bought so many!
Zhou Father was also shocked!
Ten stalls and five shops!
After the shock came elation!
Haha... His son and daughter-in-law were truly amazing!
"2,800 yuan for a stall and 10,000 yuan for a shop. It's definitely a good deal to buy now."
Tea Caihua gasped, almost dropping the crab leg she was holding.
2,800 yuan for a stall, and they bought ten!
10,000 yuan for a shop, and they bought five!
She had thought it would be 2.8 yuan for a stall and 10 yuan for a shop!
So, how much money did Zhou Chenglei make on his trip to the distant seas?
When they divided the family assets, they were all similar, but after just three months, how did the gap become so huge?
Jiang Xia added, "It's not even finished yet, and they haven't officially started selling, so it's cheaper now. It's estimated that the price will increase when it officially opens for sale next year."
Jiang Xia understood Zhou Chenglei's reasoning. Sharing good news with his brothers was a show of brotherhood, and whether they bought it or not was their decision.
Tea Caihua couldn't help but ask, "You're buying even though it's not finished yet? Are you sure it's not a scam? What if they don't build it after taking our money?"
Zhou Father: "..."
That's a jinx!
Even food can't stop her from talking!
Zhou Chenglei: "It shouldn't be a scam."
The seafood market is part of the vegetable market and is essential for the people's livelihood. Moreover, it's the city's first seafood market, so the government will ensure its completion.
The city leaders wouldn't be so negligent.
Tea Caihua turned to Jiang Xia, "Xia Xia, do you think it's worth buying?"
Jiang Xia nodded, "It's worth it. I wouldn't buy it if it wasn't."
Tea Caihua was tempted. They didn't have 10,000 yuan, but they could afford 2,800 yuan.
Although Zhou Chengxin had been managing the money since he last ignored her, he hadn't given her control over the finances like Zhou Chenglei, who gave all the money to Jiang Xia whenever the ship docked.
Now, he kept the money himself and only gave her a living allowance.
However, Tea Caihua was still aware of the family's approximate finances.
Tea Caihua watched Zhou Chenglei peeling crab legs for Jiang Xia, feeling a bit envious. Among the brothers, Zhou Chenglei was the best at taking care of his wife, and he was also the best at making money!
Tea Caihua asked Zhou Chengxin, "Should we buy it?"
Zhou Chengxin: "I want to order a ship first."
Zhou Chenglei: "It's good to order a ship. The prices are going up, so if Big Brother wants to order one, he should do it soon. Let me know when you're going, and I'll come with you."
Tea Caihua, upon hearing that Zhou Chenglei was planning to order a ship, stopped thinking about anything else.
Ordering a ship is great!
Ordering one more ship means earning more money.
Later, she could ask her eldest brother from her family to join them at sea and make money together.
Zhou Father, hearing that his eldest son was also planning to order a ship, was delighted, "If you're going to order, it's best to do it early. The earlier you order, the sooner you'll receive the ship."
Zhou Chengxin: "Yes, if we can't go out to sea tomorrow, we'll go and order it tomorrow."
Zhou Father laughed, "Good! Today is a great day. Let's have a few drinks, son. Wife, get a bottle of wine, it's perfect for tonight's feast."
After elation came celebration.
The fish and fish jelly were also prepared, and they could take their time with this meal.
Today was yet another day of overeating, and Jiang Xia felt like she would soon gain weight! Zhou Chenglei also ate a little too much, so he took Jiang Xia for two rounds of exercise.
The first was a walk on the beach to aid digestion.
The second was in the bedroom at night...
In the end, the butter crab was all for nothing, as Jiang Xia felt completely digested and even hungry before midnight!
The next morning, at five o'clock, Jiang Xia woke up in Zhou Chenglei's arms.
As she moved, he held her tightly, "Sleep a little longer."
"I wonder if we can go out to sea today?" Jiang Xia was still a bit groggy and rubbed against him.
"We can go out to sea. Dad will tell us," Zhou Chenglei had woken up a while ago and knew that Zhou Father had gotten up at four something and cycled out to check the sea.
Jiang Xia: "I've slept enough, let's get up! Aren't you going for a run?"
He had been running late every night, and last night wasn't too bad, so they went to bed at eleven.
Slept enough? Zhou Chenglei raised an eyebrow and whispered in her ear, "Running, on your body..."
The last few words were spoken softly, only audible to Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia blushed, did this man consider her a piece of sports equipment? She even heard Zhou Mother's movements outside.
Soon, Zhou Father would return from the sea and might knock on their door.
Jiang Xia held his hand and pulled away.
He turned and placed her hand on his head.
Zhou Chenglei rolled over,
and started with a kiss on her forehead.
...
Zhou Father got up at four something, cycled to the sea to check the size of the waves.
The waves weren't too big, so they could go out to sea. He first went to notify the boss, then returned home.
Zhou Mother asked, "Can we go out to sea?"
"Yes, the waves aren't too big."
Zhou Mother said, "Then I'll go wake up Alei and the others. You quickly eat something and prepare for the trip."
"Hmm," Zhou Father responded, parking his bicycle.
Zhou Mother came to the couple's room, about to knock, when she heard a faint "squeak," the sound of the bed.
Zhou Mother quickly walked away.
Zhou Father, seeing Zhou Mother come out, asked, "Did you wake them?"
Zhou Mother: "I did. Let's go out to sea a bit later today! I'll also prepare lunch, and I'll join you at sea. I'll ask Grandma to look after the house, and Zhou Zhou can have his lunch at Grandma's after school. I'll bring a fish over."
Zhou Mother wanted to give them some private time as a couple, otherwise, when would she be able to use the fish jelly she had dried?
Zhou Father nodded, "Okay."
A little later wouldn't hurt.
Going out to sea didn't matter if it was early or late.
As long as they brought Prosperity, they would make money early or late and eventually become wealthy!
So, when the family went out to sea, it was already past seven, almost eight o'clock.
Since they were already late, Zhou Chenglei decided to drag a net first, then check the fish cages on Pearl Island, and then go to the coral island on the city side to inspect the cages there. On the way, they would drag a net for fish, and then go to the shipyard to order a ship.
Everyone was fine with this plan.
Today, Jiang Xia was once again dragged by Zhou Father to fish.
Zhou Chengxin also wanted to fish, refusing to steer the boat.
Zhou Chenglei didn't fish, but he also wouldn't steer the boat. He just stayed by Jiang Xia's side, assisting her.
Jiang Xia's hands and feet were still weak, and he didn't feel at ease.
In the end, the person steering the boat became Zhou Mother.
Have a son! Have a son!
None of them were reliable!
Jiang Xia cast the fishing hook that Zhou Chenglei had prepared for her.
After waiting for a while, she didn't feel any bites, so Jiang Xia suspected the bait had fallen off and wanted to pull it out to check.
As she pulled, it felt a bit heavy.
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
