Old Mao also got up very early in the morning. When he came back yesterday, his wife was still working in a nearby factory.

When he woke up, his wife had already fallen asleep, and he didn't have the heart to wake her up.

His biological clock is like this, and he has always been the first to wake up in the family.

As a result, today, as soon as he got up and was still washing up, his wife got up. After a night, he didn't feel so urgent about sharing the harvest with his family.

It was his wife who asked first, "How is the new boss? Isn't he not as good as the previous one?"

The old cat rolled his eyes, took a sip of water to wash away the foam in his mouth, and was about to go into the house, take out the money, and throw it in front of his wife.

As a result, the neighbor woman happened to be passing by. When she saw him standing at the door, she greeted him with a smile: "Amao is back. He didn't go there for a long time."

Lao Mao deliberately ignored the woman, but his wife was a decent person and responded with a smile: "It's windy again and I'm back. Ayun, where are you going this early in the morning?"

"Hey, didn't my family get a year-end bonus in the past two days? It's not much, only ten thousand yuan. I've been clamoring for mutton, so I went to buy some early.

Ah Xia, how about I bring some for you? No matter how much you save, you can’t save it from your mouth. You see how hard Ah Mao works at sea, so he also needs to take some good supplements. "

"No, there is still meat in the refrigerator."

"Why are you so reluctant to part with it? How about I cut off two more pounds and give it to you? It won't cost much. I heard that my family's salary will be increased after the year, so I thought..."

"No need, I can't finish all the seafood at home." The old cat couldn't bear the woman's display.

In the past, he often listened, but before he had no confidence to refute, but this time it was different. A bonus of only 10,000 yuan a year?

Just kidding, it’s not as much commission as the one you get from going out to sea for three days!

After saying that, he turned around and went into the house, and after a while he came out with a bag, "Take this back and give it to Ah Chong to drink at noon. I caught it myself and it doesn't cost much. I won't be able to eat all the food at home."

The woman's face froze when he said it, and she was unwilling to accept it, but when she saw the contents of the bag, she was a little reluctant to part with it.

"It seems that you have gained a lot from this trip to sea."

"What's wrong is good. No matter how bad it is, you won't lack for yourself. The ship owner is also generous. By the way, cousin A Chong's family said they have a piece of land for sale. Please ask A Chong to help me find out if the price is suitable for me. Bought it.”

"That foundation costs 20,000 to 30,000 yuan no matter what."

"It's just a trip to the sea. No matter how poor the family is, it's not bad."

The woman held the bag containing seafood, and the old cat showed off her face. After a while, she calmly took the bag and returned home, instead of going to the town to buy meat.

As soon as she left, Old Cat Wife couldn't help but laugh. After a moment, she stopped laughing and said angrily:

"I didn't learn how to go to sea, but I learned how to brag. I think I really asked you where you got the money to buy a foundation."

The old cat was silent, and his wife felt a little distressed and said: "Why do you give me so much seafood? The boss is back too. You don't have enough for the four children at home. What should you do?"

The old cat still didn't speak. He walked to the refrigerator with a smile and waved to his wife. He waited until his wife came near and then opened the refrigerator.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it and it will go bad. I can't put it in the freezer, so I cooked everything in the freezer today."

Seeing that the entire refrigerator was packed to the brim with pomfret, hairtail, and yellow snapper, the old cat seemed to think of something again and carried another bucket placed at the foot of the wall.

"Why are there so many crabs? Oh, these must be tiger crabs. You damn person, what are you doing with such an expensive thing? Why don't you just sell it?"

"They were all caught on this trip. The owner of the ship was generous and gave some to each of us."

After saying this, he smiled and said, "Wait."

Then he turned around and went into the house, took out his bag, pinched it with his hand, and in a moment, two wads of bills were dropped on the table.

His wife opened her mouth so wide that she could have stuffed a duck egg into it. It took her a long time to react, and she glanced carefully at the door, then quickly stuffed the money into her bag, "Where did it come from?"

"Your man earned it from his trip to the sea." Lao Mao sat down with great dignity, took out a cigarette and lit it, speaking with such pride.

"What on earth are you doing? Don't scare me, tell me clearly."

Lao Mao stopped trying to keep things secret and told his wife everything. When his wife heard that this was truly his man's legitimate earnings, she was so happy that she almost couldn't find the answer.

"Oh my god, how can you make so much money? Your shipowner didn't show any composure when he gave you the money, thinking he gave you too much?"

"According to our shipowner, he would like us to share more, so that he can make more money. Don't worry, the shipowner is very wealthy and doesn't care about this."

"That's right. He lets you sell the squid you caught by yourself. That's great. I've been worried about it for the past two days, fearing that if someone quits over there, you won't be able to adapt to it here.

It's fine now. With a good shipowner who is so generous, our family's life is finally looking forward to. "

His wife actually wiped away tears while talking.

"Well, as long as the weather is good, our family will have many opportunities to make money in the future. Don't cry. The child woke up after a while and thought we were quarreling again."

"Who cares about making a noise with you so early in the morning?" The woman said in an unprecedented coquettish manner, and then laughed again.

"Put the money away. At noon, the children and you will steam one tiger crab each. Do you have any Codonopsis pilosula at home? If you do, save the blue crabs and make soup at night for the children to replenish."

"I'll steam one for you too."

"I'll forget it and just eat on the boat. Let me tell you, our boat owner is young and very good at talking. He wants to try everything he catches, so we all benefit from it."

After thinking of something, he picked up another bag and started packing hairtail and pomfret.

"Who are you sending to?"

"Your parents, my parents will give some to the old man."

At about nine o'clock, after he finished delivering the things and returned home, his wife said again: "There is nothing we can do at home, otherwise you should really send some to your ship owner."

The old cat was startled. It really made sense. He thought about it and said, "How about catching two chickens?"

"It may not be rare for people."

"That's what I mean. We can't afford to give away the expensive ones, and they won't accept them. The chickens are domestically raised, and they don't cost much, so they won't have to bear the burden."

"Well, it's up to you. Amao, do you really plan to buy a foundation?"

"Buy it, one room for each of my two sons. I will try to earn more money to build a house next year."

At noon, I saw four children each holding a crab and chewing it. Although he didn't eat it, it was sweet from mouth to heart.

Someone once said that a person cannot change his destiny without the help of noble people. At this moment, he felt as if he had met a noble person in his life.

"How about you stop taking that class, and just work on the vegetable garden, feed the animals, and cook for the children at home."

His wife was startled, but she was a little moved, but she was afraid of being happy too early, in case her man's side was not safe.

"Let's wait until you come back from your next trip to sea."

The old cat also understood his wife's thoughts, smiled and said: "Don't worry, the income may not be as much on the next trip, but there will definitely be more."

"I don't ask for much. I just have four children in my family going to school, so I have to have a little balance to be able to live comfortably."
