Beachcombing: The beach is full of amazing seafood, but my wife won't let me get out of bed!

After half an hour.

Little Tiger, clutching his swollen bottom, was sent back to his room, looking utterly aggrieved.

Inside the main room, Wu Gang sat down, panting, and took a big gulp of water from his cup.

Wang Feng tossed the broom aside, tidied her messy hair, and then looked at Wu Sui again.

"Ah Sui, you've seen something funny. This little rascal, he's always getting on the roof and tearing off tiles if you don't discipline him for three days."

Wu Sui waved his hand and handed Ya Ya to Chen Xue, asking her to take her to wash up.

After the children had all gone inside, Wu Sui took out his cigarette case, distributed cigarettes to Wu Gang and Chen Yang, and lit one for himself.

"Sister-in-law, I've thought about what you and Xue mentioned carefully."

Wang Feng and Chen Xue's hearts, which had just been at ease, were filled with anxiety again.

Chen Xue stood by the door with a basin of water in her hand, nervously watching Wu Sui.

Wu Sui exhaled a smoke ring, speaking casually.

"Going to school in town is the right thing to do."

"The village's educational conditions are indeed inadequate. If Xiaohu continues to run wild in the village, he'll really become a devil. Yaya also needs a better environment."

Upon hearing this, Wang Feng and Chen Xue exchanged a glance, their faces beaming with joy.

"Ah Sui, you agreed?" Wang Feng rubbed her hands together excitedly.

"I agree, but..." Wu Sui paused, tapping his fingers twice on the table.

"But what?" Wu Gang frowned. "Ah Sui, if you find living in that courtyard inconvenient, we can rent a house in town..."

"Big brother, what nonsense are you talking about?" Wu Sui glared at him. "We're family, why are you dividing things up as yours and mine?"

He stubbed out his cigarette, stood up, looked at the three puzzled men, and dropped a bombshell.

What I mean is, we're not staying in that compound.

"Huh?" Wang Feng was stunned. "Not living in the compound? Where will the children live if they go to school in town? It'll be such a hassle to travel back and forth every day."

Chen Xue also got anxious and put down the basin of water to come over.

"Ah Sui, the compound is fine. As long as we have a place to stay, we're not picky."

Seeing their anxious expressions, Wu Sui laughed even harder.

"Who said you had to run back and forth every day?"

"That compound is going to be a recycling station. Trucks and workers will be coming and going all the time. It's dirty and chaotic, and safety is a problem. How can we let you and the children live there?"

"Since we're going to town, let's go straight there."

"Tomorrow I'll go ask Brother Tao about it, and we can go straight to town and buy a big house."

Wu Gang burned his finger with the cigarette butt in his hand and shuddered violently.

They just built a house in the village, bought one in the county, and have several storefronts.

Is this another house to be bought in town?

"Ah... Ah Sui, you're not kidding, are you?"

Wang Feng stammered as she spoke, feeling her calves cramping.

"We've just made some money, and you want to buy a bigger ship? Can you afford it?" Wu Gang was also anxious and quickly tried to dissuade him.

Wu Sui smiled and patted his older brother on the shoulder.

"You don't need to worry about the money, this is settled."

"Father, Mother, you should also go and live in town then."

"My sister-in-law and Xiaoxue are going to help out at the purchasing station, and the children can't be left unattended. Mother, I'm sorry to trouble you to keep an eye on them as well."

Wu Sui currently has over two million yuan in savings. A decent house in town can be bought for around ten thousand yuan, so he doesn't need the extra money.

As for the storefronts in the county's aquatic product market, they won't be completed until before the Lunar New Year, so there's still a long way to go and no rush at all.

Li Cuihua was carrying a plate of sliced ​​watermelon out of the kitchen when she heard that Wu Sui wanted to buy a house in town, and she stopped in her tracks.

"Go ahead and buy it. As long as you two brothers are doing well and the whole family is safe and sound, it doesn't matter where you live."

Wu Jianguo nodded in agreement: "The town is nice. I take my fishing boat from the town's dock every day."

The old man took out his pipe and tapped it on the table. "Living in town saves me the trouble of traveling back and forth."

Wu Sui sighed. He knew perfectly well that the elderly couple were only thinking of their child.

That's it, the matter is now completely settled.

Wang Feng smiled broadly, grabbed Chen Xue's hand, and muttered that they would go to town tomorrow to inquire about houses for sale.

Although Wu Gang was still worried about the money, seeing that his parents had no objections, he didn't say anything more and could only smoke in silence.

Wu Jianguo packed the tobacco, lit a match, took a couple of puffs, and then seemed to suddenly remember something.

"Ah Sui, the anglers I picked up today were chatting on the boat and they told me something unusual."

Wu Sui handed a slice of watermelon to Chen Xue, then turned to look at his father.

"What's so special?"

"I heard from them that the city recently got a boat for deep-sea fishing."

Wu Jianguo exhaled a puff of smoke, his face full of envy.

"That ship is huge; I heard it can stay at sea for ten days to half a month."

Chen Yang, who was eating watermelon next to him, mumbled his words indistinctly.

Deep-sea fishing? What kind of fish do you catch?

"I heard they're going tuna fishing," Wu Jianguo said in a low voice. "Guess how much the boat tickets cost per person?"

Wang Feng curiously leaned closer.

"Dad, how much? 200?"

Wu Jianguo shook his head and flipped his hand over.

"1000 yuan!"

"What?!" Wang Feng's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. "A thousand yuan per person? Are these people crazy? Do they have too much money to burn?"

Wu Gang was also stunned.

A thousand dollars, just to go fishing at sea?

Wu Sui stopped eating the watermelon and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Deep-sea fishing boat?

The 17-meter boat he's in is fine for cruising in the near sea, but if he really goes into the deep sea, a single wave will capsize it.

Lin Tao's acquisition station is all set up, and he's about to hold a housewarming banquet.

The two had previously agreed to hold a grand event, inviting all the well-known industry peers in town, and also to announce that they would no longer be doing retail.

A housewarming party needs more than just a grand display; it also needs substantial, impressive items to command attention.

If you rely on your own ship to try your luck, who knows if you'll find anything good.

The system's radar scanning range is limited, and the good catches in the nearshore waters have long been snatched up by those trawlers.

But if we could get on one of those deep-sea fishing boats and go out to sea...

He can pick any of the best goods in the sea.

"Dad, have you found out anything?" Wu Sui wiped his hands with a tissue. "Where does the ship board? How many days will it be gone? Which sea area is it heading to?"

Wu Jianguo was stumped by the question.

He scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"How would I know? I just overheard someone chatting and it just happened to pass by."

"Those anglers seemed to be leaders from some factory in the city. They were having a high-level conversation, so I didn't feel comfortable asking too many questions."

Wu Sui had a plan in mind.

I'll go to town tomorrow to ask Lin Tao for information.

Lin Tao has connections and knows many people, so he's sure he can find out about this kind of thing.

After finishing the watermelon, the family members went their separate ways.

Wu Sui led Chen Xue and Ya Ya back to the stone house.

The little girl ran around all night and was exhausted. She started snoring as soon as her head hit the pillow.

Chen Xue brought warm water, wiped Ya Ya's hands and face, and carefully tucked her in.

Wu Sui sealed the window tightly and then bolted the door shut.

Chen Xue was carrying a basin of water, preparing to go out and pour it out, when she saw Wu Sui's mysterious behavior and was a little puzzled.

"Ah Sui, what are you doing? Aren't you stuffy closing the window on such a hot day?"

Wu Sui walked over, took the basin of water from her hand, put it on the ground, and pulled her to sit down on the bed.

"Please have a seat. I have something nice to show you."

Chen Xue was completely confused by him.

Wu Sui reached into his pocket and pulled out something wrapped in a handkerchief, placing it on the bed between the two of them.

The handkerchief was peeled back layer by layer.

Under the dim light bulb, a gleaming gold coin was revealed.

Chen Xue gasped and covered her mouth.

She stared wide-eyed at the gold coin, then looked up at Wu Sui.

Wu Sui nodded and placed the gold coin in Chen Xue's palm.

The heavy weight made Chen Xue's hand sink even lower.

"Ah Sui, where did you get this?" Chen Xue asked in a low voice, afraid of waking Ya Ya. "Didn't you go fishing at sea today?"
