Chapter 732: Just Waiting to Go to Sea

"Have you bought all the cloth? What kind of cloth did you buy? How much did you buy?"

"Do you know how to choose this thing? Don't buy the bad one."

"How much did the cloth cost? How can you have any money now?"

Chen Huihong asked a series of questions one after another.

"Don't worry about the cloth. The quality is very good and the price is absolutely right."

"Aunt, I'm already married and will be a father soon, why do you still treat me like a child?"

Chen Hui felt a little helpless.

"Hey, you're young, you don't understand anything about fabrics and quilts."

Chen Huihong smiled and said, "Where is the cloth you bought?"

The road must be walked step by step, and the meal must be eaten one bite at a time.

After all, this is Chen Huihong's first time doing business.

Chen Hui arranged everything at once because he was afraid that she wouldn't understand.

After sorting out his thoughts, he continued:

"The boss will go to restock the goods tomorrow, so we need to wait a few days."

“When we got back from the sea, I entertained a guest at home, and I went to pull the cloth back.

"Then I'll tell you about the next plan. Let's do the preparatory work today."

Chen Huihong was drinking water from a cup.

I heard there are real things that can be done.

He drank all the water in one breath and asked, "What preparations are you doing?"

"We need to clear out a room on the first floor and move the sewing machine in your room there," said Chen Hui.

"Why? Can't we just do it in the room?"

Chen Huihong didn't understand.

"We want to do business seriously."

"If nothing else, we will be importing fabrics in batches of several thousand feet from now on."

"Everyone is piled up in the room, so where will you two sleep?" Chen Hui asked.

Wu Shuisheng suddenly interrupted, "Let's sleep on the cloth."

It made all four of them laugh.

"There aren't many rooms on the first floor." Chen Huihong said in embarrassment.

"How come it's gone? Isn't the room where you put your things quite big?"

"Let's put our things in order and move them to the small room next door."

"Why don't we just clean it up and keep it clean, right?" Wu Shuisheng suggested.

Chen Hui also thought it was great.

The room faces the yard and the gate.

When the weather is good, the sun can shine half of the house.

It is very bright when the doors and windows are open during the day.

Not only does it save electricity, it is also very suitable for eye-straining work such as needlework.

"Uncle, let's go and deal with him together." Chen Hui finished his tea and stood up and said.

"I just finished cleaning the fishing boat, and now I'm cleaning my house."

"I'm focusing on cleaning today."

Wu Shuisheng joked to himself and put down the cup.

"I'll go too. You don't know where to put things." Chen Huihong also said.

An Wenjing wants to be together.

Rejected by three people at the same time.

Because of the heavy dust, Chen Hui didn't even let her go to join in the fun.

"Then what should I do?" An Wenjing asked, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Go back to your room upstairs and read!"

"Examination to become an official in the village is not much more important than doing this kind of work."

Chen Huihong waved her hands and urged An Wenjing to go upstairs.

"Aunt, if you pass the exam, you will also be a clerk."

"We are here to serve the people, not to be officials."

"I'm just reading here. Call me if you need anything."

As An Wenjing spoke, she ran upstairs and brought down her books and notebooks.

I put all the cups behind the stove and washed them, then boiled another pot of water and poured it into the thermos.

Then he sat down and read quietly.

There are three people: Chen Hui, Chen Huihong and Wu Shuisheng.

I spent an entire afternoon sorting and organizing the things in the big room and moving them to the small room.

Then put them in their proper places. The last time this room was cleaned was before the Chinese New Year.

Another eight or nine months passed.

There were spider webs on the ceiling and a thick layer of dust on the wooden window frames.

The three of them cleaned the house together again.

Chen Hui felt that the rough cement floor was not good.

A bucket of dust can be swept out every day.

Ask Wu Shuisheng to fetch water and rinse the ground clean to remove the dampness.

I rode my motorcycle to the town and bought cement.

Together with Wu Shuisheng, they applied a more delicate layer of cement on the original foundation.

Everything was done and it was already dark.

Chen Huihong is cooking inside.

Look at the two people coming in covered in dust.

He quickly shouted behind the stove, "Wenjing, the fire is fine like this, quickly get a basin of water to flush Ah Hui first."

"Hey! Here I come."

An Wenjing stuffed two pieces of wood into the stove and started burning.

I got up and went to the yard to get a basin.

"Get a basin of water for Uncle, and I'll just rinse him with cold water."

Chen Hui said this and patted the dirt off his body.

Chen Huihong quickly fanned herself with the lid of a large pot and said, "Hey, hey, hey! Go outside and take pictures. The dust is falling into the dishes on the table."

"It's terrible. My aunt is starting to dislike me."

Chen Hui joked and asked An Wenjing to get her some clean clothes.

"Brother Chen Hui, take this first."

"I'll go upstairs to get some clothes and leave them outside the bathroom for you."

An Wenjing took a basin of warm water from the pot at the back and handed it to Chen Hui first.

Then she turned around and went upstairs to get him clothes.

Chen Hui was holding the hot water and suddenly became a little curious.

I don’t feel cold in the sea water, will it be the same when I’m in the spring water?
Although cold water is not cold, is there really any difference compared to hot water?
After trying and comparing.

There is not much difference.

The cold water rushed down, and it was warm, not cold.

Mix cold water with hot water of appropriate temperature, and it will be warmer when you wash.

I don’t know what it feels like to use water with ice in it in winter.

"Chen Hui, are you done washing? Why do you take so long to wash like a woman?"

"Hurry up, it's almost time for dinner."

Wu Shuisheng urged from outside.

He was also covered in dirt and dust, waiting to take a shower before eating.

"I'm coming."

Chen Hui responded, wiped the water off his body, put on his clothes and came out.

"I've lit the stove for you. Go sit over there and your hair will dry faster."

Chen Huihong saw people coming out and pointed at the charcoal stove on the side.

"I really want a hair dryer, but it's a pity that I can't power it up."

Chen Hui muttered quietly.

He took a small stool and sat beside the charcoal stove to wipe his hair.

Wu Shuisheng quickly took a shower and came out, sitting opposite Chen Hui.

While wiping his hair, he asked, "You're not going back today, are you?"

"I promised the village chief that I would stay in the village more and help when the village road is being repaired."

"It's dark now, and the people who were repairing the road have left. Why are you going back?"

"Have a good sleep and get up early tomorrow to go out to sea to make money." Chen Hui smiled.

"Wenjing, stop burning it, we're eating."

Chen Huihong brought the fried vegetables to the table.

I asked casually, "By the way, what time are you going out tomorrow?"

"Half past five."

"what?!"

"what!?"

Wu Shuisheng looked at the young couple who spoke in unison.

He smiled and asked, "What are you guys talking about?! Isn't it normal to go out to sea at five or six o'clock?"
