Chapter 427 Two Big Light Bulbs

"Let's go, let's go, we're going back too, the tide is about to rise."

As Chen Hui was speaking, he saw Chen San's wife walking away alone, carrying two buckets of water.

Chen Xiaoqiao followed Chen Hui's gaze.

He asked in confusion, "What's wrong with Chen San today? Why would he come to provoke you for no reason?"

"Jealous, maybe." Chen Hui said calmly.

"Ah?!" Chen Xiaoqiao was confused.

Chen Hui told Chen Xiaoqiao that his family was about to build a house.

We are all from the same village and our ages are not much different.

When Chen Hui built a house, no matter where the money came from, at least on the surface he never seemed to worry about money.

I even had enough money to open a store.

Chen San starts making pickles more than a month in advance and does some work at the beach waiting to be used.

Comparing the two, it is normal to feel uncomfortable.

If you feel unhappy, you can't bear to see others feel happy.

"Ah?! Not really?"

"His family is poor. It's their business. It's not your fault."

"Just now, Chen San's wife said thank you to you, otherwise she wouldn't have known about the land purchase."

Chen Xiaoqiao still found it hard to understand.

"Otherwise, I can't think of any other reason."

"Whatever. As long as it doesn't interfere with my life, I don't bother to argue with him."

"But Chen San's wife actually thanked Wen Jing? The sun is rising from the west?"

Chen Hui waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

An Wenjing saw Chen Hui coming up and talking to Chen Xiaoqiao.

Pulling Wang Shuhui over, he asked with a smile, "Brother Chen Hui, what are you talking about?"

"Nothing much, Uncle Xiaoqiao was just showing off his catch." Chen Hui said, gesturing into the bucket.

An Wenjing shone the flashlight over there.

He smiled at Chen Hui and gave a slightly exaggerated thumbs-up, "Wow! Uncle Xiaoqiao, you are awesome!"

He kept his head down and his back bent.

Wang Shuhui felt severe soreness in her lower back.

He clenched his right fist and gently hit his lower back, saying:

"It turns out that going to the beach to catch seafood is so tiring. You may not find anything good after working so hard for a long time."

"Chen Xiaoqiao, you have some skills."

After hearing this, Chen Xiaoqiao was so excited that his tail almost flew up to the sky.

He looked up with a sense of elation.

"I grew up by the sea, so this skill is nothing."

"I'm just too lazy to come. If I were willing to come every day, I would definitely earn more than my brother!"

Chen Hui couldn't help it and immediately said, "Just for this, Aunt Shuhui, you must ask him to come every day in the future!"

Chen Xiaoqiao became nervous, stopped showing off, and threatened him with his eyes.

"I can't call him! Whatever you want."

Wang Shuhui has given up on Chen Xiaoqiao.

She is satisfied as long as she is willing to do some housework occasionally and bring some things back from the beach.

"The tide is about to rise, let's go!" An Wenjing reminded.

Chen Hui went to a tree nearby and put on his clothes.

A few people were talking and laughing, walking back from another village road.

Passing by Uncle Chen’s house.

From a distance, I could hear old man Chen in the house, cursing at the top of his voice:

"You idiot, are the sea and the river the same thing?"

"Chen Hui can go to the sea to catch fish, but what can you catch? You didn't catch a single fish, and your clothes were torn."

"Where can we get the money to buy you clothes? You'll go out naked tomorrow! If you want to buy clothes, wait until we divide the family!" Chen Xiaoqiao wondered, "Why are you scolding now? Didn't Chen San go home a long time ago?"

Wang Shuhui smiled indifferently.
"How can Chen San be in the mood to talk about these things when he comes back? Let's listen to what Chen San's wife said now."

"Chen San's wife likes to gossip about the Zhang family and the Li family on the bridge. I wonder if she will bring up her own family affairs to make everyone excited tomorrow."

The fact that she took the child back to her parents' home was often talked about by Chen San's wife.

Wang Shuhui didn't seem to care, but she felt very uncomfortable in her heart.

An Wenjing asked in a low voice: "Should we go and persuade them?"

"Why should I persuade him? Doesn't what Mr. Chen said make sense?" Chen Xiaoqiao said.

"But after all, it's just a piece of clothing. There's no need to scold me for so long, right?" Wang Shuhui said.

"Look at Mr. Chen's attitude. It's definitely not just because of the clothes."

"It's probably mixed with the fact that he was forced to lend money to Chen San to buy the land."

"And the fear that Chen San encountered danger in the sea!"

"Let him scold us. Let's go in. They will be even more embarrassed." Chen Hui said, holding An Wenjing's hand and walking away.

Chen Xiaoqiao saw the two people holding hands so naturally.

He also carefully reached out his hand to hold Wang Shuhui's.

As a result, I just hooked her little finger.

Wang Shuhui seemed to be shocked, she pulled back her hands and exclaimed: "What are you doing!?"

"Huh!? What's the matter?"

Chen Hui and An Wenjing turned around and looked.

"I just touched it accidentally, what's the matter? You can't touch it!" Chen Xiaoqiao said.

Wang Shuhui reacted belatedly.

He smiled awkwardly and said, "We already have two children, there is nothing we cannot touch."

A few people smiled and continued walking back.

Chen Xiaoqiao was in a dark place, holding Wang Shuhui's hand and walking forward, imitating her.

Chen Hui and An Wenjing found it interesting and were happy to be a third wheel.

He specially sent Chen Xiaoqiao and Wang Shuhui home first, and then went back to Wu Jinhua's house.

The fish were processed overnight, soaked in salt and hung up.

After climbing up the mountains and diving into the sea all day, Chen Hui felt a little tired even though he was in his early twenties.

Lying on the bed, while waiting for An Wenjing, he was thinking about creating some kind of character to reverse the strange rumors in the village.

The person didn't show up, and the problem wasn't figured out.

I don't know when I fell asleep.

When I woke up the next day, the house was as quiet as usual.

It was obvious that it was already past breakfast time. Chen Huihong had even boiled water and prepared the tea needed for the construction site.

"Mmm, it's so comfortable to sleep in!"

Chen Hui stretched himself, picked up the watch beside him and took a look at it.

Seeing that it was already past nine o'clock, he quickly got up, washed his face, brushed his teeth, ate breakfast, and went out for a walk on the construction site.

"Chen Hui, did you just wake up?" Wang Kunhua said with a smile when he saw him.

Chen Hui smiled and walked forward.

From a distance, I saw several people moving things outside Chen Liping's house.

Chen Xiaofeng and Chen Xiaopeng were coming in and out noisily, and they looked very busy.

"I heard that his family wants to remove the roof and raise it higher, and the work is scheduled to start tomorrow!"

"I see he's been doing a lot of things recently, and I think the price will be quite high. Do you want to take care of it?" Wang Kunhua asked.

"As long as Chen Liping returns to work on time, I don't care even if he adds a hundred or eighty floors."

Chen Hui said this and looked up at the sky.

The sky is cloudless and the sun is shining brightly.

It's good weather for demolishing a house and building one.

Wang Kunhua followed Chen Hui and looked up, sighing:
"It hasn't rained for several days. This morning I heard many people working in the mountains saying that if it doesn't rain again, the fields will be dry."
