Zhou Ze couldn't help but shake his head and laugh when he heard Xu Kaifa ask this, "Uncle, why do you think so?"

Xu Kaifa was worried. "I had a falling out with the last ship owner because of the commission! We had agreed that sometimes when the income from sea was low, the ship owner would still pay normally. But once the income was high, the ship owner would try every means to reduce the money and was unwilling to pay so much commission."

"But why? We go out to sea to fish, we don't eat well, we don't sleep well, and it's our bodies that suffer. When we make less money, they let us work with peace of mind and honesty. When we make more money, they deduct this and that."

Zhou Ze replied: "If it were someone else, they might indeed do so! You're not the only one who's talking about this, I heard other boatmen muttering the same thing!"

"But I don't think you need to worry! Meilan is different from other people. When has she ever embezzled the commission of the boatmen? You can rest assured that you will receive the money soon."

Although he thought so in his heart, Xu Kaifa was still not as confident as Zhou Ze.

"Oh my god, that's 18!" Xu Kaifa was excited. "It takes so long to go out to sea, it's tiring and hard, but we catch a lot of fish, and most of them are mid-range and high-end fish!"

Zhou Ze was also very excited. "When those buyers saw our lists, they were all happy and envious! Our fishing boats are famous at the dock. Yesterday, those ship owners were so envious that their eyes turned red!"

Xu Kaifa sighed, "Don't even mention the ship captains and ship owners who are so envious that their eyes are red! I have never seen such a high amount of money from a single trip to the sea in my life!"

Xu Xiaohui, who came over with a small stool, blinked and asked, "Uncle, you make 18, how much can our Zhou Ze make?"

Xu Kaifa replied: "According to the contract we signed before, Zhou Ze can get half of mine! He has already obtained a fishing boat license, and sometimes he can drive the boat for me. He also has more prestige on the boat. I think Meilan is training Zhou Ze and Wu Yong according to the standard of a captain."

Xu Xiaohui made the calculation and said, "Oh my God, our Zhou Ze can get 9 yuan! What about the ordinary boatmen?"

Xu Kaifa replied: "I roughly calculated that an average boatman can get between 4 and yuan!"

Xu Xiaohui was stunned. "Oh my god, is fishing so profitable now? I want to quit my job as a teacher and go fishing!"

Zhou Ze laughed and retorted, "Xiaohui, just be a good teacher! Teaching and educating people, being a people's gardener, what an honor! Besides, if fishermen can make money, everyone will be a fisherman, why would they go to work in a factory?"

Xu Kaifa nodded. "There are many fishing boats that make money, but not many that can make as much as Meilan! Besides, fishing at sea is very hard."

Zhou Ze echoed, "Yes, it's really hard to go to sea! It's okay when you're young, but you'll understand when you get older. Besides, your salary is enough for our family to spend, and the money I earn is used to buy a house, and the money I save is enough for our expenses. There's no need to suffer so much!"

"You can spend the money I earn however you want! My parents are not in good health, and you are pregnant, so you will need to take care of the baby! We both work very hard as fishermen, and we earn money, but we can't take care of the elderly and children, and we don't live a good life. What's the point?"

Xu Kaifa smiled, "Yes, men are responsible for the outside world, and women are responsible for the inside world! You have taken good care of the family, which is better than anything else! What's more, you are an elementary school teacher, and you have a regular job. Meilan said that when you retire in the future, your pension will be very high!"

"Zhou Ze works so hard on the fishing boat. If I continue to follow him for another three years, I am confident that I can train him to be a real captain. By then, Zhou Ze's income will be higher, and our family's life will get better and better."

Xu Xiaohui nodded, "Uncle, I will listen to you, be a good teacher, and take care of the family."

Zhou Ze also smiled, "That's right! At least one of us will be stable. If both of us are not at home, even if we make money, our family will not be happy. Anyway, my salary card is in your hands, Xiaohui, you can buy whatever you like. Master Huo has beautiful jewelry. When the commission arrives this time, I will buy you two gold bracelets."

Hearing this, Xu Xiaohui nodded, "That's what you said. When the commission arrives, I'm going to go to Master Huo to buy jewelry. By the way, grandma's birthday is next month. I guess you're free during the fishing ban period, so let's buy grandma a big gold ring as a gift."

Zhou Ze was very grateful and happy to hear that his wife still thought about grandma, "Okay! Thank you, Xiaohui."

"Silly boy, we are husband and wife, isn't it our duty to honor our grandma?" Xu Xiaohui chuckled. Her husband's salary card earned hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Couldn't she be reluctant to spend a little money to give to the only grandma Zhou Ze missed?

Zhou Ze nodded, "Yes, yes!"

Xu Xiaohui mails three hundred yuan to her grandmother every month, and sometimes also sends her seafood and clothes from Sifang Island. All these things are done by Xu Xiaohui.

Zhou Ze imagined his life after marriage. He was not depressed at his father-in-law and mother-in-law's house but was very happy. His wife Xu Xiaohui played an important role in this.

Xu Kaifa was very happy to see that his niece-in-law and his husband got along well with each other. "Zhou Ze, work hard. I will teach you everything I know. When you become a captain in the future, you will get a higher commission."

Zhou Ze thanked, "Thank you, uncle."

Xu Kaifa came to the bank leisurely. He thought he was alone, but he met Tang Changping and Chen Saozi unexpectedly. "Hey, you are here too."

Tang Changping laughed and said, "I calculated that there is a lot of commission. I have been thinking about it. I just called Xiaoyu and she said that the finance department has transferred the money. I couldn't sit still at home, so I wanted to check it out."

Mrs. Chen also smiled and said, "I have nothing to do at home, so I came over for a look."

The three men walked into the bank while talking.

Xu Kaifa first handed his bank card and passbook to the bank staff and said, "Please check how much money is in there. I want to withdraw 500 yuan."

Take five hundred, this is pocket money.

The staff then checked the accounts, printed the inflows and outflows on the passbook, and gave them to Xu Kaifa.

Xu Kaifa didn't bother to take the money. He quickly opened the passbook and saw the second to last line, 18.23 yuan that had been deposited in the morning. He was so excited that his hands were shaking.

The staff member laughed and said, “Uncle Xu, is this how big fishing boats make money?”

Xu Kaifa smiled and said, "Haha, it's hard work too."

"Old Xu, get out of the way quickly, I still need to withdraw money!" Tang Changping urged quickly. Although everyone was the same, Tang Changping also felt that he could see it clearly on the passbook.

So the staff performed the same operation again on Tang Changping.

When Tang Changping saw the commission bonus inside, he was so excited that his face turned red, "I'll take one thousand this time."

Mrs. Chen joked, "Hey, Brother Tang, are you going to die?"
