Chapter 227
It would not sound good to say in front of my father-in-law and mother-in-law that these things were not brought back specifically to entertain them.
Originally, Shen Fei did not want to explain too clearly, but seeing that his father-in-law and mother-in-law's tone became heavier, he had to explain with a smile:
"Dad, Mom, you really think too much. I usually bring such seafood back for the children to eat. It's not that I specially save good stuff just because you are here. If you don't believe me, you can ask the children..."
Before he finished speaking, Mengmeng had returned to the two elders and squeezed in One of them held one of them and said with a smile:
"Grandpa, grandma, you blamed dad wrongly. We ate this yesterday."
"We also ate this big crab last night, and this big shrimp. The day before yesterday, we ate big lobsters with long whiskers, and another big crab. The day before yesterday, we also had a super big red grouper..."
The little girl noticed that the two elders' tone was a little heavier, and she tried to help her dad explain, and told him all the good things she had eaten recently that she could remember.
All kinds of fresh seafood made Wu Wenzheng and Wu Hongmei a little dazed. As for what the little girl said, none of them were cheap, and in the little girl's mouth, they were all big...
"This... do you really eat like this?" Wu Wenzheng was still a little confused.
Zheng Xier, Niuniu, and Xiaoliu all nodded seriously, "Yes! We usually eat these!"
Shen Fei smiled and said, "The good thing about fishermen on the seaside is that it's convenient to eat seafood."
"Then, how do you eat porridge and pickles in the morning?" Wu Hongmei asked.
When she came here in the morning and saw Shen Fei and his breakfast of porridge and pickles, she thought Shen Fei would be more frugal at home and not so extravagant.
But now, from what Mengmeng said, Shen Fei usually eats well at home?
Shen Erya explained:
"Last night, there were seafood and pig-killing dishes. In addition, Dad, Lao San, and Erniu all drank wine, so we cooked a lighter meal in the morning. We usually have a lighter breakfast."
Generally, big meals are eaten at noon or in the evening. Breakfast is mostly porridge with some side dishes or boiled fish in soy sauce.
"Well, that was our misunderstanding."
Hearing Shen Fei's explanation, Wu Wenzheng said awkwardly.
Then he added to Shen Fei,
"However, I still suggest that you save a little on food. You don't have to eat so well. You can eat small fish and seafood. It's better to sell these valuable things. There are so many children at home. You have to think about the long-term..."
Before he finished speaking, Wu Qiusheng, who always wanted to speak, couldn't help interrupting and said:
"Well, don't give Shen Fei and others suggestions. They can afford it."
"Do you know how much money Shen Fei and others made on this trip? This number!"
As he said, he gestured six heavily, thought about it and felt something was wrong, so he gestured eight again.
"Six hundred and eighty yuan?" Wu Hongmei asked curiously.
Seeing her son's excited face, she really tried to guess as high as possible. You know, Wu Qiusheng, who has a glamorous teacher status, only makes four hundred and twenty yuan a month. When Wu Wenzheng was a teacher before, his salary was even lower.
In Wu Hongmei's opinion, 680 yuan is already very high.
"It's not 680, it's 6,800. The third brother-in-law and his friends made 6,850 yuan from the traps they caught! One trip is equivalent to the two of us working for a year!"
Jin Qiaomei, who has recovered a lot, said loudly with an exaggerated expression on her face.
Zheng Xier and Shen Erya, who were standing by, didn't show any shock on their faces when they heard her words. They just smiled and were happy for Shen Fei and the others.
But Wu Wenzheng and Wu Hongmei were different. They were really shocked when they heard Jin Qiaomei's words. They were stunned for a long time before they came back to their senses.
"How long has it been since he went out? He earned 6,850 yuan and brought back so many valuable seafood?! This is too profitable!"
Wu Wenzheng, who retired after being a teacher for decades, was really shocked. He had heard of making money by fishing at sea, but he had never heard of making so much money!
One trip doesn't even take a morning, but it's worth more than a year's salary for his son. This is... outrageous!
Seeing the old man's shocked expression, Shen Fei laughed and said:
"Going out to sea to fish depends on luck. If you're lucky today, you'll earn more. Sometimes you're unlucky and you don't make any money, and you'll lose money on fuel. Just one trip costs dozens of dollars for fuel."
He listened to San'er's advice and didn't plan toTaking Wu Qiusheng and Jin Qiaomei on the fishing boat, he didn't want to say how profitable fishing is.
"Third brother-in-law, what you said is a bit false.
The fish collector just now counted 16,800 yuan for you, which is the money from your last sale. How can it be that you are lucky this time?!
It is obvious that fishing can make a lot of money!"
"Qiusheng has had some conflicts with the Dean of Academic Affairs at school recently, and his work is not easy.
Third brother-in-law, we are all family, why don't you take Qiusheng to the sea to fish together!
When he learns, we will also buy a boat to go to the sea..."
Jin Qiaomei mentioned to Shen Fei without any hesitation that she wanted Wu Qiusheng to get off the fishing boat and learn fishing.
Hearing her suggestion, Shen Wentao and Erya frowned.
After San'er's reminder, Shen Fei also noticed the expression of his second daughter.
He shook his head and said:
"No, second sister-in-law, you two have experienced the situation of going out to sea just now, and you both get seasick.
Sometimes we go to the open sea, and we have to go for a whole day or even several days. Sometimes we spend the night on the sea. How can the second brother, who gets seasick, go out to sea with us?
When the time comes, will he fish with us, or will we take care of him instead?"
"In addition, the harvest of fishing is also uncertain. It is not always profitable, and it is normal to lose money.
You have a regular teaching job, so there is really no need to do this. It is very dangerous at sea."
After saying a lot, the meaning is also very clear, that is, he is not going to take Wu Qiusheng on the fishing boat.
Wu Wenzheng and Wu Hongmei on the side frowned when they heard Jin Qiaomei's proposal.
Although the two elders were shocked to hear that Shen Fei made a lot of money, for Wu Wenzheng, the job of a teacher is sacred and meaningful, and it is also a stable job. How can he just give it up?
"Qiu Sheng should continue to teach at the school. If there is a conflict with the dean, just find a time to invite the dean out for dinner and talk it out. This is a stable job, and it cannot be thrown away."
Wu Wenzheng said very seriously.
In order to give this job to Wu Qiusheng, Wu Wenzheng also asked for a lot of connections.
In addition, the younger son Wu Qiuhong originally studied better and had a higher level of education, and also wanted this teaching position, but in the end it was given to the eldest son Wu Qiusheng.
Now if Wu Qiusheng quits, then the younger son...
Wu Wenzheng felt troubled when he thought about it. He couldn't give up this job! He didn't agree!
