Years: Return to the Leisurely Fishing Village

Chapter 40 Every family has its own sutras that are difficult to recite
Tan Shaobei took his wife to the health center and came back two days later. She had a miscarriage and had to be more careful from now on.

The house has just been weeded and the foundation has not been touched.

Tan Shaobei was delayed, but Tan Shaonan started work as usual.

The Tan family had a total of 700 yuan, which was not enough to build two brick houses. The original plan was to give half to each brother, plus their own savings and borrow some from her mother's family, and then they would have enough to scrape together.

At most, you can build the house and then compensate slowly later. It is not possible to build a house in the countryside in one go. You can only build it first and then compensate slowly later.

Now that Tan Shaobei has stopped working, Tan Shaonan is thinking about spending the money first and saving it up slowly later. He will save it up by next year at the latest.

As a result, as soon as the proposal was made, it was strongly resisted by Tan Ersao, "Brother and sister-in-law, I am not feeling well, so I will stop working for two days, but I didn't say I won't build the house."

"I'm well now, so there's no need to delay. We have to build the house. We agreed to pay half each, and if it's not enough, we can borrow more. You can't just take care of yourselves in the end!"

"You are the eldest brother, you will definitely be considerate of your younger siblings and won't do anything to seize their property."

Mrs. Tan didn't say it explicitly, but her meaning was very clear: the money should be half for each of them, and if she wasn't given it, it would be like the eldest brother had erased it.

Only a fool would stop working at this time!

The third child is not married yet, which means he has no suitable partner now. What if there is a suitable partner next year? Will it still be their turn?
The two elders seemed fair, but they were indeed quite indulgent towards Tan Shaoyang, and everyone saw it.

Especially for Grandma Tan, he did not hide his love for her at all. He saved all the money he earned from selling pigs and was always well off!
She didn't dare to dig into the old man's coffin book, but she had to give them the share that belonged to their parents.

You definitely can't do it if you see the money slipping away from your hands.

Although it is just a one-story brick house with three narrow rooms, the roof is still equipped with beams and covered with tiles. Although I still have to owe money, the house is truly my own!

Who would want to live together if they can have a small family?

There are times when my upper and lower lips even bump into each other!

What's more, when people with different personalities live together, it is bound to be a conflict.

She usually has a lot of work to do, and only when she is pregnant can she do less, otherwise she will feel suffocated.

Only a fool would be unwilling to move out when he sees that he can do so.

The eldest brother had a good plan. He built a new house for himself and left them aside. How could this happen?

After Mrs. Tan Ersao said this, no one in the Tan family said a word. Their family was not like other families where the parents were the masters and there was no room for their sons and daughters-in-law to speak.

Although Tan's mother seems to be quite fierce, she would not do anything to bully her daughter-in-law. The money was allocated long ago and was originally intended for Tan Shaoyang to marry a wife.

Later he said he would not get married and would build houses for the eldest and second sons. The money would be distributed equally, and if there was not enough, they would find a way themselves.

The second brother's family was determined to build a house, and no one could stop them, to avoid being blamed in the future.

The second son's wife is not a peaceful person. She will resent the two elders for only taking care of the eldest son and ignoring the son in the middle. She will not be able to explain herself when the time comes.

As for whether building a house will have any impact on children?

The couple didn't take it seriously and were too lazy to say anything more.

Now that things have been settled, we can continue digging the foundation.

The foundation is built with stones, then leveled with cement, and then red bricks are built after it is leveled.

When I don’t go out to sea, I go to pick up stones every day.

I carried load after load back. It was the busy farming season, and I couldn't ask my brother-in-law to help, so I could only do it slowly by myself.

Tan Shaoyang didn't have to go to the market or the county town, so he would just do the hard labor at home.

The winnowing basket loaded with stones was heavy, and the burden was pressing on his shoulders, making them burn with pain. But his two brothers were busy, so he couldn't just stand aside and lend a hand!

Everyone in the village helps each other, you help me and I help you, but he is going to stand idly by. Although the two brothers won't say anything openly, they will definitely feel unhappy when they are asked to help each other in the future.

Even among brothers, some relationships need to be maintained.

Anyway, there's no rush, so just take it slowly. Pile the stones into a small hill and start laying the foundation.

Pull the lines, pile them flat, pour cement to make them firm, glue and fix them to ensure stability, and then the entire foundation is considered paved.

It seems easy, but not much work can be done in a day.

Tan Shaoyang only helped them transport stones, and he laid the foundation himself. Since the two brothers were working together, it was not like they were helping anyone, so he found an excuse to slip away.

People cannot be too honest. They should help when necessary and avoid when necessary.

The sun was scorching, and he was afraid of getting sunburned!
After all, he has his own things to do, and he can't just abandon his work and do hard labor.

He can help, but in the eyes of the two brothers, he is like the sun rising from the west. He usually sleeps until the sun is high in the sky, eats as soon as he wakes up, and never does any work.

Now helping to carry stones is already impressive.

On the day of the market, Tan Shaoyang took out 300 kilograms of sandworms. This was his way of making money, and no one would stop him.

Tan Shaoyang looked at the car full of sandworms and sighed as he walked out.

He found that the villagers had a kind of obsession. They would gather together to do whatever others were doing. For example, if they wanted to dig sandworms, they would all go to dig sandworms. As a result, fewer people went to the beach to go fishing.

The sandworms brought out this time are just the tip of the iceberg, and we still have quite a few at home.

He estimated that the number would gradually decrease. No matter how many sandworms there were, they could not withstand people digging them every day. As their numbers decreased and their sizes became smaller, they would slow down.

Only those who don’t give up will seize the way to make money.

Just keep it, you can maintain it anyway.

It's just a little troublesome, but as long as I can support it, it's fine.

As for the swimming crabs, we didn't get many of them. We just kept the few scattered ones at home for ourselves. I was afraid that the boss would dislike them if I brought them to him.

Of course, bringing him dried clams, a change from fresh seafood, does not mean that he has no menu to attract customers.

If it weren't for the support of the Xu Hai brothers, there would be no trace of Moyuzai. When the time comes, he won't be able to deliver the goods to the boss, and the other party might think that he is doing business with someone else again!

The two of them worked hard and although it took some effort, they managed to collect quite a lot. Compared with those who were digging sandworms, their performance was not bad. After all, it was just a matter of putting a cage together and it didn't take much effort.

After realizing the simplicity of this method, the two brothers made a fortune in silence.

It’s not that they earn a lot, but compared to before, they are no longer broke. At least they can have enough food and drink, and they can save money, which is enough for them.

Seeing that they were full of enthusiasm, Tan Shaoyang painted a rosy picture for them, saying that as long as they worked hard, someone would load goods for them in the future.

The power of one person is weak, but the power of three people is strong. Squid has to rely on two people for supply!
