Sun Xiaoshan was not very comfortable last night, but today I got better and could sit up.

The nine-year-old child is basically doing everything at home, so Wang Haisheng asked Wang Yuer to take care of Sun Xiaoshan and took Jiang Zhen to clean up the boat.

The boat was a little dirty, but it was well cared for. It was obvious that the owner loved it very much.

"This ship was newly built seven years ago. The one used to be too broken and couldn't hold on. At that time, I saved some money and replaced it." Wang Haisheng said, cleaning the ship as Jiang Zhen asked, and then talking about where the ship needs to be repaired and where some shelves can be added.

"How do you?" Jiang Zhen asked.

"Yes, I have been dealing with boats, I can repair boats, and I have a few tools." Wang Haisheng said: "If there are enough materials and a few more tools, I can make one." He lived on a fishing boat with his parents since he was a child. The boat was a bit broken at the beginning, and he had to repair it from time to time, so he had the ability to repair boats. When he was looking for someone to do this boat, he observed it throughout the process and got some understanding of shipbuilding.

Wang Haisheng didn't think he was so amazing. After all, many people who make a living by fishing these days can repair ships, and there are many people who can build ships, but Jiang Zhen was a little surprised.

He even wanted to ask Wang Haisheng why he didn't live on this, but soon realized that the craftsmen at this time were worthless.

Everything is simple, but the study is high. At this time, people don’t care much about these craftsmanship. Many people who master superb skills are even written as craftsmen, and they don’t even have freedom at all.

Being a carpenter or something in the countryside can lead to better life than a simple farmer, but it is limited. Basically, there are such carpenters in every village, and newcomers will not be accepted at all.

After learning about Wang Haisheng's ability, Jiang Zhen went to cut a few trees and then made some furniture with Wang Haisheng while repairing the boat. The carpentry work is not difficult. If it is not good-looking, he will be able to make a few stools or something.

People these days like heavy furniture and fine carvings, but Jiang Zhen and Wang Haisheng are of limited ability, so what they make is ugly and simple. Not only can they not be sold for money, some of them cannot even be used at all, and this is related to the wood they choose.

Not all wood is suitable for making furniture, and they didn't understand it at first...

Fortunately, those woods cannot be used as furniture, so they have practiced their hands and can be used as firewood in the end.

Jiang Zhen and Wang Haisheng worked hard for more than ten days, and during these ten days, it rained almost every day, but it was not the whole day.

In some places, spring rain is as expensive as oil, but here, spring rain is always free of money and keeps falling.

The weather is getting warmer and the rain is enough. Hexi Village, which was originally full of green in winter, is becoming more and more lush, and the camphor tree also begins to fall leaves - after a year of growth and winter is green, old leaves will fall from the tree after spring arrives, and at the same time, the tender green new leaves will soon grow all over the entire crown.

For Wang Haisheng and his family, it used to be very sad when it rained all day.

Although the mud house is wet, it can at least create a fire and dehumidify and the clothes can be dried. However, it is troublesome on the boat. The clothes and quilts are wet, so they can often just cover them.

Sometimes, some places on the boat are not well cared for, and the wooden clothes may even become moldy and rotten.

In such an environment, people are always prone to getting sick. Wang Haisheng's child is so sick. Because of this, Wang Haisheng is very grateful to Jiang Zhen, who has taken in their family.

After doing what he should do with Jiang Zhen that day, he stuffed himself with earthworms and put them in the river to catch fish and took out all the bamboo baskets he used to catch fish, intending to give Jiang Zhen the best fish inside.

"Fisherman, why have you lived with Boss Jiang recently? You can't live in the fishing boat?" Wang Haisheng was walking back with a bucket of fish, and suddenly someone called him.

"You ask me?" Wang Haisheng glanced at the man and said, "I'll sell the fishing boat to Jiang Zhen."

The fisherman mentioned Jiang Zhen is Boss Jiang? Isn’t that the person who asked Wang Haisheng thought about it and looked at Wang Haisheng with great sympathy.

Could it be that Jiang Zhen stole this man’s ship?

Not only did they snatch the boat, but the family now seemed to be working for Jiang Zhen. The six-year-old boy was carrying a basket of wild vegetables and digging directly for Jiang Zhen.

The villagers who called Wang Haisheng did not dare to ask more questions, let alone say bad things about Jiang Zhen. After looking at Wang Haisheng with sympathy, they shook their heads and left, which made Wang Haisheng confused and had no idea what had happened.

He couldn't figure it out, so he didn't think about it anymore. Wang Haisheng found Jiang Zhen and then gave Jiang Zhen a few big fish in his hand.

Jiang Zhen collected the fish and gave him some rice that was about the same amount as the fish.

Wang Haisheng is not short of fish. In fact, their family is tired of eating fish. However, they are very fond of rice and always think that the rice is delicious.

Not to mention that Wang Hai was tired of eating fish, Jiang Zhen was tired of eating fish at this time.

If it is in modern times, fried, fried, roasted, sweet and sour, spicy and steamed, there are various seasonings and various cooking methods, there are many types of fish, even if he eats fish for a year, people like him who are not picky about their mouths will not get tired of it. But the key is that there is no such condition at all now.

He didn't see the peppers at all. Because of the oil pressing technology, oil is very expensive, soy sauce is no less expensive than salt...

However, even if it is unpalatable, it still has to be eaten, and Brother Zhao and himself have to eat it.

Jiang Zhen killed all the fish, chose one and put it on a steaming rack, and marinated the others with some salt to make the fish.

In fact, the people here are very supportive of the dish of salted fish. Unfortunately, the salt is too expensive, so they usually don’t use salt to pickle the fish. Jiang Zhen is already a big shot.

Jiang Zhen wanted to deliver food to Brother Zhao Jin, so he always fired separately from Wang Haisheng's family. He made fish that night, and he kept the best part in the middle, ate the beginning and end, and then started to wait for the night to come.

When it got dark, Wang Haisheng's family next door was sleeping, so Jiang Zhen took the fish and went to find Brother Zhao Jin for a tryst.

He has been sleeping with Brother Zhao Jin these days.

After being accidentally seen by Zhao Liu, he was very careful now and used all the anti-reconnaissance skills he had in his previous life, so that no one noticed that he had stolen fragrance and jade every night.

Of course, he actually didn't steal the fragrance and jade... Brother Zhao is very busy every day, and the two of them have not yet married, so he naturally cannot do anything to Brother Zhao.

He handed the fish in through the window and handed it to Brother Zhao Jin to hold it. Jiang Zhen supported his hands and quietly entered Brother Zhao Jin's house, then took out a small piece of candle and lit it.

In the candlelight, Brother Zhao slowly started eating fish.

Brother Zhao Jin was actually tired of eating this fish, but this was what Jiang Zhen gave him to eat. No matter how bad he was, he would eat it clean. What's more, he was not an ungrateful person. He knew very well that Jiang Zhen asked him to eat fish for his own good.

Although he was not sick before, his knees often had cramps from time to time, but he had never suffered these problems recently.

Brother Zhao ate fish silently and didn't say anything. Jiang Zhenan looked at him quietly, but didn't say anything either.

This is because they may be discovered by Zhao Fugui and Zhao Liushi, and it is also because... it is good to stay together without talking.

That night, the two were still chatting with quilts.

Jiang Zhen once again sighed at his strong self-control. Although he had lived with his comrades a lot in the past, they were all straightforward, so he had no idea about them, but Brother Zhao Jin was different. This is the person he liked.

The person you like is lying beside you, and it is also a skill to be unmoved!

Of course, on the surface he didn't move, but in fact... God knows how much tofu he has secretly eaten by Brother Zhao Jin, and... Brother Zhao himself should also know.

Maybe he didn't know the first night, but when Jiang Zhen touched his feet, he was clearly awake, but he kept pretending to be asleep.

Early in the morning, Jiang Zhen left and took away the bowl he brought.

Jiang Zhen and Wang Haisheng had almost completely transformed the fishing boat. On that day, they were making boxes by the river. Suddenly, an acquaintance walked towards this side along the river. The man was wearing yamen runners' uniforms, which was Yang Jiang.

It's raining these days, and nothing happens in the yamen. Yang Jiang is so annoyed at home that he can't help but want to go to the gambling house to have fun. However, what Jiang Zhen asked him a few days ago scared him. He was not in the mood to go out to drink and gamble with others.

But it was too boring and there was nothing to do... Yang Jiang finally ran to the dock in the rain, and while messing with Jiang Laosan, he helped Jiang Zhen inquire about the sea goods business.

Now that Jiang Laosan has done enough, Jiang Zhen asked him to inquire about it, he came to Hexi Village.

Previous experiences made Yang Jiang have a psychological shadow on Hexi Village and he didn't want to enter the village and be watched by others. Therefore, when he saw Jiang Zhen and Yang Jiang staying by the river, he immediately showed joy.

"Boss!" Yang Jiang greeted Jiang Zhen.

"Is there any news?" Jiang Zhen asked.

"There is news, boss. Those who go to the beach to buy seafood in the county will set off tomorrow. They are willing to take you with you. If you want to go, you will go to the west of the dock to find them sooner tomorrow." Yang Jiang said.

Jiang Zhen nodded and asked for some details. Yang Jiangzai carefully said everything he knew and said, "People at the beach like food very much. If you can decorate some food, you can also sell it at a good price."

Yang Jiang said a lot, and finally said suddenly: "Boss, I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Jiang Zhen asked.

"It's that Jiang Laosan, his errand is gone." Yang Jiang said with a giggle.

I don’t know how many people are watching Jiang Chengxiang’s errand work. It was not easy for him to sit firmly before.

Although Yang Jiang is a yamen runner, he can't go to find fault in a big way. He simply contacted someone who wanted Jiang Chengxiang's job and helped the man a little...

That man is also capable. He also has an uncle who is a small manager at the dock. Wouldn't this squeeze Jiang Chengxiang down? After getting Jiang Chengxiang's job yesterday, he gave Yang Jiang two taels of silver as a thank-you gift.

Yang Jiang was quite proud, and at the same time he looked at Jiang Zhen carefully, for fear that Jiang Zhen would be angry.

However, Jiang Zhen was not angry and smiled: "There are so many places in the Jiang family, Jiang butcher and Jiang Laoer can't farm at all. He should indeed come back to help."

"Yes, that's it." Yang Jiang nodded repeatedly, finally breathing a sigh of relief.

After talking to Jiang Zhen for a while, Yang Jiang left. Jiang Zhen was thinking about tomorrow's events and walked home with Wang Haisheng, and took a detour from the Jiang family.

When he arrived near Jiang's house, Jiang Zhen really saw Jiang Chengxiang that Yang Jiang mentioned to him not long ago.

Jiang Chengxiang has always dressed very well and his hair is meticulously combed, but now he looks a little confused.

Jiang Chengxiang has been having a bad life these days.

After Jiang Zhen released Yang Jiang, he thought his life would gradually return to the right track, but the facts proved that he was thinking too much.

He encountered a lot of trouble, such as Zhu Shufen was unwilling to go home with him, and for example, there were always people who couldn't get along with him at the dock.

He still likes Zhu Shufen very much, and he likes Zhu Shufen's family situation even more - Zhu Shufen's father, who has great hope of being admitted to the juren!

Because of this, he went to the Zhu family several times a few days ago and apologized for being a little fuku.

Zhu Shufen had already had a court meeting with him. Although the Zhu family was not satisfied with him taking the money that Zhu Shufen had been in the box, it was impossible for him to let Zhu Shufen divorce him because of such a little thing, so he asked him to take Zhu Shufen back.

As a result... Zhu Shufen just took it back and his errands were gone!

In the past, he had an income of two taels of silver a month at the dock, so he could naturally live comfortably in the county town. But now he has lost his job and has paid all his savings to Jiang Zhen...

In the end, Jiang Chengxiang had to take Zhu Shufen back to Hexi Village in shame, otherwise they might not even be able to eat.
