Fisherman Fubao made his fortune by fishing

The original owner's name was Li Yu'er, which was only one character different from her name: Yu (Yu) and Yu (Yu).

Her parents named her Yu, which is the homonym of "fish". Yu also represents happiness and beauty.

The "Betel Nut Song" says:

Red dragon ball, light and joy, seal the book and give it to the koi fish.

The carp carries the book on its back. When the south wind blows, the carp rides on the wind and travels thousands of miles.

Koi carp holds a precious pearl in its mouth, which means it lives a rich and happy life.

This poem represents beautiful meaning and blessings.

The original owner's parents were illiterate, so the fish in Li Yuer's name is naturally not a homonym of "yue", which means fish swimming in the sea. However, "the sky is high and the birds fly freely, the sea is wide and the fish swim freely", so it's not bad to be a free fish.

No matter where this fish comes from, it is a lively and highly adaptable fish.

Living a new life, the fish returns to the sea, hoping to be like a fish in water and live happily.

She is not afraid of poverty or difficulties.

Even as a scavenger, she can still live the free and vigorous life of a killer whale.

From today on, she is Li Yuer.

The door curtain was lifted, and the cool air blew in, bringing Li Yuer back from her memories.

A middle-aged woman wearing a headscarf walked in, and Li Yuer recognized her as the original owner's aunt Zhang Zhaodi.

Seeing her niece wake up, a surprised smile appeared on Zhang's slightly fluttering face.

"Yu Baoer, you're awake!"

She placed the steaming bowl in her hand on the cabin storage board, wiped her hands on her apron, turned around and went out again.

Soon, a voice came from outside: "Mom, Yu Baoer is awake."

She was not good at expressing herself, and when she saw her niece woke up, she just smiled sincerely.

"Yu Baoer is awake? That's great!"

Soon, the door curtain was lifted again, and a skinny old lady walked in.

The person who came was the original owner's grandmother Cai Guihua. Li Yuer was shocked by the appearance of the person at first sight.

The first impression was that he was thin, about 1.5 meters tall, very skinny, with a long dark face, a big nose that lay softly on his face, and big, thin lips that looked a bit sharp.

Li Yuer's heart sank. It was over. She was destined to be an ugly girl in this life.

At this moment, Old Mrs. Cai had a kind smile on her face and walked forward to gently tuck the corner of the quilt for her granddaughter.

"My dear Yu Baoer, you've been through a lot! How are you? Do you feel uncomfortable somewhere? Does your head still hurt?"

Feeling the old man's sincere concern, Li Yuer was deeply moved.

When she spoke, her voice was a little hoarse: "Grandma, I'm fine, how are Dad and Mom?"

Perhaps because she was afraid that her granddaughter would worry and affect her recovery, she thought for a while before saying, "It's all right, all right. The doctor said that I need to stay in the clinic for observation for a while and I will be back in a few days. By the way, your mother gave birth to a younger brother for you, so you will be your older sister from now on."

Without waiting for Li Yuer's reaction, he picked up the porridge on the table, stirred it with a spoon, and handed it to Li Yuer: "Poor thing, you haven't eaten or drunk anything for a day and a night, drink some rice porridge to warm your stomach."

Li Yuer was very hungry. When he smelled the fragrance of food, his stomach churned and growled like a drum.

She climbed up and stretched out her hand, feeling as cold as if she had been electrocuted.

Without caring about anything else, she took the food from her grandmother's hand and started eating it impatiently.

The dark yellow paste has a faint smell of wheat and is a bit irritating to the throat.

But this did not affect Li Yuer's appetite, and she quickly finished the bowl of porridge, which was neither too big nor too small.

Li Yuer looked at Mrs. Cai with an unsatisfied look.

Old Mrs. Cai looked back at her eldest daughter-in-law and saw that she looked troubled, as if she didn't understand something.

This was the only bowl I had. In order to raise money, I sold half of my family’s winter food.

The old Li family has split up. The old man Li and his wife live with their eldest son Li Fusheng in a slightly larger black-sailed boat.

The second brother's family lived in a slightly smaller peng boat.

The total cost of this medical treatment was six taels of silver, which would be paid in addition to the fish tax for the next year. The two families pooled together three hundred coins and borrowed two hundred coins from the villagers, which only left half a tael of silver.

He asked the village chief to pawn his boat to the pawnshop and got two taels of silver.

If it were the sea season, the boat could be sold for three and a half taels of silver. Unfortunately, they were in urgent need of money and it was winter, so the village chief had to save face and ask for two taels of silver.

When she died, she only got one and a half taels of silver by pawning her dowry jewelry, which added up to four taels. After the two families discussed it, they ruthlessly sold more than half of their winter food and got another half tael of silver.

The last tael and a half of silver was brought back by the third brother from outside, and it is still unknown where the money came from.

She didn't dare to ask, nor did she have the face to ask.

The palms and backs of your hands are all made of flesh. As a mother, how can you bear to abandon either of them?

Li Yuer was an orphan in his previous life. He had experienced the harshness of society at an early age and was somewhat able to read people's expressions.

Well! This family is so poor that they can barely make ends meet.

She pretended to be full, lay back in bed, smiled at grandma, squinted her eyes and dozed off.

Old Mrs. Cai breathed a sigh of relief, tucked in the quilt for her granddaughter, and went out with the empty bowl.

After the people left, Li Yuer was so worried that he couldn't sleep. He stared at the dim ceiling with his big eyes in a daze.

She needs to sort out the situation at home.

There are three generations in the Li family. Grandfather Li Youcai is called the Eleventh by his peers and Uncle Dacai by the younger generations of the same clan.

Of course, he doesn't have ten biological brothers, but cousins.

He has three brothers, he is the second oldest, and the rest are cousins.

Because the ancestor passed away late and the family was divided late, the brothers, regardless of their family background, were ranked directly according to seniority and age.

Old man Li is 45 years old this year. In this era, he already has one foot in the coffin.

His ancestors were all islanders from Tuwozi Village on Rabbit Island, and they had lived a poor life by guarding the sea and making a living in the wind and waves.

When Old Man Li was young, he was very handsome, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, an oval face, seven feet tall, and an upright posture.

Due to years of carrying loads on his back and going out to sea to fish, he is now a little hunchbacked and suffers from severe rheumatism, and his legs and feet cannot walk properly.

He is the second child in the family, with older brothers and younger brothers. He is not very favored and has a somewhat soft personality.

Old man Li has been dull and quiet since he was young. When he was young, he liked to listen to his parents, and after he got married, he listened to his wife.

He worked hard all his life, hoping to save some money so that his descendants could live a better life.

Unfortunately, I never saved a single penny until I got old.

Old Man Li's two brothers also live in Tuwozi Village, and their families are also poor.

Old Li’s family has been fishermen for generations, fishing and selling fish, and the farthest he has been to is the pier and Fuzhou Bay for blind dates.

Although Li Youcai's name contains the word "cai", he has nothing to do with money in his life.

His family was poor when his father was alive. He had a lot of brothers and sisters, so poor that they only had one pair of trousers without patches that they could take turns wearing when they went out of the island to do business.

A pair of blue-gray fine cloth trousers allowed the three brothers to complete the most important journey in their lives, from blind dating to marriage.

Of course, his eldest brother Li Youfu and his third brother Li Yougui have nothing to do with wealth.

In short, it’s poverty inherited from our ancestors.

Although Lao Li's family is poor, all of them are good-looking. The men are tall and handsome, and they never get very tanned no matter how much they are exposed to the sun, and they have handsome features.

The woman is tall and plump, with bright and beautiful facial features.

This is also the main reason why the original owner's grandmother, a land girl, was willing to follow him on the water.
