Reborn in 1994, escaping from marriage and going sea fishing, I won!

For Mrs. Chen, who is good at cooking dishes from both the north and the south, handling these seafoods is a piece of cake.

In order to make it easier for everyone to eat, she picked out the shrimp thread, took out the shrimp meat and shrimp paste directly, coated them with flour, and sprinkled some chopped green onions.

Then put it in the oil pan and fry it directly. The finished product is really crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. When stir-frying the octopus, add some chili peppers, and the taste is quite good. The sea celery, tofu and shrimp soup is delicious and light.

By the time the food is ready, the large dog shrimps have already been shelled, making them easier for everyone to eat.

The second net caught a lobster. This is expensive and very delicious.

Everyone was busy tying lobsters. In the past, everyone could chat while working, but now everyone's eyes were only on lobsters. Although everyone was very tired, they were all happy, after all, this was all money!

The third net caught crabs, and they were large blue crabs. After tying up the lobsters, they were followed by the crabs. Everyone's eyes were filled with these multi-legged seafood.

Compared to sorting fish, tying crabs and lobsters is more troublesome. Of course, the premise is that those fish do not need to be bled. Fish that need to be bled are also slow to process, but seafood that needs to be bled is often quite expensive.

All the hard work will be rewarded in the face of money, so you won’t feel so tired.

Liu Meilan was also busy, working with everyone else. The shipowners all did this, so naturally, as a ship worker, she would not be lazy.

After dinner, everyone prayed secretly that they would not catch any more crabs.

Liu Meilan stood up and patted her waist, saying, "Everyone, eat first. You've worked hard." In the past, everyone would say it wasn't hard, but today they couldn't say it. They were really too tired. "If you're tired, eat more."

Mrs. Chen smiled and said, "The food tonight is delicious. I made seafood porridge for everyone, and served it with scallion meat patties. I guarantee you will like it." Mrs. Chen's cooking skills are obvious to everyone on the boat. Only when you are full can you have strength.

Everyone went to eat and arranged to take turns to rest at night. Some people went to rest first, while others continued to work. Liu Meilan was obviously the one who continued to work, and she was in good spirits.

The net was full of blue-spotted Spanish mackerel, which are very popular because of their delicate texture, delicious taste, rich in nutrients such as protein, vitamin A, and calcium. Spanish mackerels are big and small, but you can tell the length with the naked eye. The boatmen are all skilled and very efficient.

That night, we pulled up the net four times, and most of them were fish, which made everyone feel a little relieved. Busy life always goes by quickly. After three days and two nights at sea, we finally returned with a full load.

Although we didn't catch any grouper this time, we did catch a lot of moonfish, which was considered to be the fulfillment of Zhou Xingwang's request. Although it was midnight, Zhou Xingwang still came.

This birthday banquet was of high standard. He could earn several days' salary in one day, so he attached great importance to it. After reading the list, Zhou Xingwang discussed it with Chen Dafu, and finally Chen Dafu decided to buy only high-end seafood.

Zhou Xingwang was worried that collecting the money would not go smoothly. Chen Dafu was only thinking about returning home in glory, so he naturally wanted to do everything to perfection so that the villagers who once looked down on the Chen family and him could see how wealthy he, Chen Dafu, was.

Now he is not only a rich man with three children, but he has also changed his last name back to his original name.

Cause a sensation on Sifang Island!

Liu Meilan didn't have time to go, and although Tang Xiaoyu didn't go either, she heard a lot of gossip. While Liu Meilan was eating, Tang Xiaoyu told her everything she had heard.

"Alas, this Chen Dafu has made family planning more difficult on the island by himself." Tang Xiaoyu said with a wry smile. Mayor Tang has been very worried about family planning recently. "Take our family for example. My uncle Jiu has only two daughters. He originally planned to marry a daughter-in-law, but now he sees a heartless man like Chen Dafu and doesn't plan to do so. My aunt Jiu is already 40 years old and is still trying to have a son."

Liu Meilan asked in surprise: "There are more than one family like this on the island, right?"

Tang Xiaoyu nodded: "Yes, although family planning is implemented now, most people turn a blind eye to those who have two children. Those who have two daughters are also accepted. But now those who have two daughters have to rent a house in the city and prepare to give birth to a son."

"It's not that I favor sons over daughters, but I feel that the family will be uneasy without a son. After all, there are not many sons-in-law with conscience, especially those who become rich. Even if you can't have children now, you should start to train your daughter well."

Liu Meilan said with emotion that the situation here is relatively good, with relatively abundant supplies, and even if a girl is born, the baby will be kept. I heard that in some places in the north, as soon as they know that the baby is a girl, they choose to abort it.

"Then you should persuade your father to stop worrying too much." Liu Meilan advised, "This is actually quite good, as it can help to maintain a balanced ratio of men to women. Those who have sons in the future can still find wives. If the control is too strict, women will have no choice but to have abortions, and then all the children born will be sons. Where can they find wives?"

Tang Xiaoyu was stunned, and looked at Liu Meilan with admiration: "Meilan, I find that you are very far-sighted in thinking about things!"

Liu Meilan said with emotion: "This is not foresight, but a fact. Family planning is to control population, but resources and traditional concepts favor men, so people naturally want to have sons. When daughters are raised and can work and earn money, they marry into the man's family, and the parents' family gets nothing."

"Let's put aside the emotions and look at it from the perspective of input and output. This becomes a very simple economic issue. Because having a daughter is not cost-effective. It can neither continue the family name nor bring benefits to the family. Who would want to have a daughter?"

"The key is that there are only men and women in the world, and only when the two are together can they have children. Many people don't want to have daughters, but still want to marry their sons to add to the family. This is a good thing for them, but for the girl's family, isn't it a big loss? This is very contradictory!"

Tang Xiaoyu frowned and said, "I used to hear the old people on the island scolding girls as wench and money-losing goods, but I was not convinced. Now that I have calculated it, girls are really money-losing goods. Suddenly I feel that being a woman is so difficult!"

"Being a woman is difficult, and it's not something that has just started now. It has always been like this!" Liu Meilan said, "There is a big gap in physical strength between women and men, but with the development of productivity, this gap has gradually narrowed. Now girls can also receive education, and have more opportunities to become stronger."

Tang Xiaoyu thought about it carefully and said, "Meilan, you are right. Even without the support of my family, I can still support myself and live a good life. This is a manifestation of social progress."

Liu Meilan smiled and nodded: "Yes, me too. We criticize inequality, but we also have to strive for excellence and work hard with the existing conditions. This way, we will have more confidence to fight for more benefits instead of asking for them. No right comes for nothing. They are all won by the struggles of countless female predecessors."
