Catch the sea: start with a sand shovel and take over the entire beach

"The baby is a little small, but was born full-term. The doctor said there's nothing wrong." As soon as Xia Rong left, Chen Xue told him everything that happened in the hospital.

"Is the old lady there too?"

"When a child is born, the whole family is busy. Not only is the old lady here, but Pingping's parents are also here. They are all very happy."

Zhao Qin smiled. Having a new baby was something to be happy about.

"Aqin, should I cook now?" Aunt Wu asked.

"Let's do it. By the way, my brother Dong will come over for dinner tonight. Auntie, please put more rice in it."

Chen Xue did not ask why her eldest brother came to dinner, and talked about another matter, "I heard from my sister-in-law today that the day after tomorrow, Asi's family will be moving into a new house. What should our family give as a gift? Or should we just give a gift money? I'm preparing it in advance."

"Just give a gift money, 5000 yuan. From now on, all weddings and funerals of our boatmen will be based on this standard."

"Well, my brother is supposed to pick up the car tomorrow. If you go to the hospital, come back early and remember to buy firecrackers."

"I understand, housekeeper."

Chen Xue reached out and twisted his arm again, then started laughing.

Chen Dong arrived just after seven o'clock. During the meal, they didn't talk about anything specific because Aunt Wu was there. It wasn't that he didn't trust Aunt Wu.

But these topics are indeed not suitable for more people to know.

After dinner, Aunt Wu usually wouldn't go into the living room again, but Chen Xue probably knew what the two were talking about, and because there was a smell of cigarettes, she went upstairs early.

"That batch of gold has already passed through customs, and I really don't have time to get it. How about you arrange it?"

Chen Dong frowned, stood up and looked outside, then simply closed the door and asked, "Is it gold?"

"No, it's almost all copper. Liu Zhonglun helped arrange it. It's currently stored in a warehouse near the customs in Xia City. Don't worry, all the procedures are legal.

You also know Liu Zhonglun, just go to him to get the order and pick up the goods."

"Where's the real gold?"

"It was shipped directly to the port city. It has been sold. I gave the money to A Ke to handle. It's not much, about 7000 million. I don't plan to bring this money into the country.

Leave it in the overseas account and see what investment to make later."

"The gold in the cold storage needs to be melted."

Zhao Qin nodded slightly, "My second senior brother has learned how to do it over there. He and my senior brother are free now anyway, so let them handle it."

Chen Dong thought for a moment, "What are you going to do with the gold after it's melted?"

"I haven't made up my mind yet, but at least I can show it to others. I'll keep some of it. I always have to have some hard goods at the bottom of the box. As for the gold I mine from the Yukon base in the future, I'll sell it directly there."

"Liu Zhonglun, do you want to express your opinion..."

Zhao Qin waved his hands hastily. "This matter is actually very abrupt, but I really have no choice but to ask Liu Zhonglun for help. Once you pick up the goods from customs, this matter will end here.

If there is any more fluctuation, it will be disadvantageous to him.

As for the favors I owe you, I have a long life ahead of me, so I will pay them back slowly, there is no need to rush now."

If you are too eager, it will become a real deal.

"How about we open a gold shop?" Chen Dong suggested. With so much gold in his hands, he felt a little uneasy about keeping it all the time. It would be better to cash it in as soon as possible.

"It's not easy to open a gold shop. It requires a special industry license. Let's just stay quiet."

Chen Dong also felt that his proposal was a bit whimsical. Fortunately, the batch of gold could finally be seen by the public soon and could be freed up from his own cold storage.

……

The next day, Zhao Qin did not go to the hospital. He felt that it was a bit inappropriate for a grown man to rush to see his brother's wife.

I called Ah He and he told me it was a normal birth and I would be discharged from the hospital the day after tomorrow. I’ll see when I get home.

As for gifts for children, it’s better to wait until the full moon.

Early in the morning, he went to Lao Zhu's store and bought two strings of firecrackers. He didn't wait for his elder brother to drive the car back, but waited for his own boatmen to arrive one by one.

Looking at Wu Bing who had come all the way here, he complained angrily, "We have to go out to sea again the day after tomorrow. Why are you running here instead of taking a rest?"

Wu Bing laughed foolishly, "Brother Ping got a new car, it's a great event."

"My dear, I heard that Fifth Brother bought a BMW?"

The voice came from behind him. When Zhao Qin heard the name "Myna", his face twitched unconsciously. He wondered why he was so unlucky with his ranking.

He turned his head and looked at Ah Ming who was walking towards him with firecrackers in his hand and a smirk on his face, "What do you want?"

"Hey, do you think that Fifth Brother's Passat is for sale?"

Well, before I even picked up my new car, someone has already set their sights on my old one.

"Don't ask me, ask your fifth brother yourself."

Seeing that Lao Mao and Du Xi's motorcycles had stopped, he took two steps forward and asked, "What are you doing here too?"

Lao Mao shook the firecrackers in his hand and said, "A Ping said that he will be in charge of the big banquet at noon today. He will exchange one firecracker for a meal of wine. He is really capable."

His words made Du Xi and Lao Tong on the side burst into laughter.

Xia Rong brought some fruits and snacks and placed them on the table, then busied himself with making tea for everyone. "Everyone, just make do with what you have. When we move into a new house at the end of the year, we'll have more space at home."

"Fifth sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll do it." A Ming, A Chen and other younger children took the thermos and poured their own water.

"Where's Ayuan? It's the weekend today, right?" Zhao Qin turned his head and glanced at the backyard.

"He went with his father early in the morning, and even Miaomiao was clamoring to go with him."

As he was talking, Lin Lao Er and Lai Bao also came with firecrackers.

"I said you two are the closest, but why are you the last to get started? You are so unenthusiastic." The old cat joked with a smile.

Lai Bao explained, "I went to the Peng family to pay my respects early in the morning, and when I came back I was busy taking a shower, so I was late."

Zhao Qin was peeling peanuts. The fried peanuts were crispy and fragrant. Apart from being easy to get angry, there was nothing wrong with them. Just when he was about to say something, he saw Ah Chen at the door winking at him.

He pretended to walk out of the door unintentionally, and Achen gave him a cigarette.

"If you have anything to say, just tell me."

"Brother Qin, Sister Mao, and Sister Du went to the hospital to see Ping Ping early in the morning. You know the situation in my family, and it's not appropriate for my father to go.

When Ping Ping is discharged from the hospital, I think she will go out to sea again, as for Ah He…"

"It's not a big deal. You are just worried. You have the best relationship with Ah He. Give him a call and let him know. We can talk about it after the full moon. I won't go either."

"Everyone's family has gone, my family..."

Zhao Qin tapped him on the head and said, "Don't worry, everyone knows your family's situation."

Just as I finished talking to Ah Chen, a Volkswagen drove up and stopped at the door. Ah He then opened the door and got out, smiling, "Brother."

"Why are you back?"

"The hospital was full of people, and I couldn't help with anything there. Then Sister Mao came over and said Brother Mao and the others were at Brother Ping's house today, so I rushed back."

Zhao Qin smiled and pushed Ah Chen away, "Okay, talk to him yourself."

"say what?"

Regardless of the whispers between the two brothers, Zhao Qin waved his hand again and called Ah Si to the side. "The family is going to get married tomorrow. Are you almost done with the work?"

"My father directly outsourced it and came to set up the tent tonight. There is nothing that Ah and I can do to help."

"When is the wedding date?"

"It's scheduled for January 1th."

Zhao Qin nodded. He had quite a few wedding banquets to attend next. There was nothing he could do. There were nearly 20 people on the boat, and half of them were bachelors.
