Chapter 236 -204: Planning Actions After the New Year
Since Mother Superior felt so indignant, Chu Mingcheng naturally had to make arrangements.
However, what’s important right now is not this; tomorrow, his family would be setting out for Hang City, so they checked all the gifts they planned to bring along to ensure nothing was missed.
Choosing Hang City as the meeting place for the two families also showed the Chu Family’s regard for the Jiang Family.
The next day, Chu Mingcheng drove, taking his parents to Hang City.
After today’s meeting, his relationship with Jiang Luoluo should enter the stage of discussing marriage, moving another step closer to his modest goal.
Because they set off early in the morning, they arrived at the hotel in Hang City they had reserved at just about ten in the morning.
Chu Mingcheng handed over the three pounds of yellow croaker he had caught to the kitchen staff and then went to the front entrance to wait for the arrival of Jiang Luoluo’s family.
As for his parents, of course, they were waiting inside a private room, as greeting guests was a task suitable for him as the younger generation.
Just a few minutes later, Jiang Bo arrived by car.
Clearly, around the time the Chu family was about to reach the hotel, they were already prepared and ready to leave their house.
He greeted the elders and then led them into the private room.
When both parties met, cordial greetings were naturally exchanged, and seeing that Chu Mingcheng hadn’t seen Jiang Luoluo in a while, he casually pulled her aside to sit down.
“Luoluo, when you come to my house tomorrow, I should take revenge for your mother-in-law,” he said.
“What happened?” Jiang Luoluo asked, puzzled.
She had long since become immune to Chu Mingcheng’s references to her in-laws.
After all, the man had thick skin and enjoyed teasing her with this topic.
Even a shy girl would get used to hearing it all the time, not to mention she was quite a straightforward woman herself.
“It’s just the neighbor next door. Her son brought his girlfriend to visit, and then she started showing off in front of my mom…”
Chu Mingcheng explained the whole situation clearly, and Jiang Luoluo immediately understood what was going on.
After listening, she quickly had an idea: “That’s simple, just watch me tomorrow.”
“What do you plan to do?” Chu Mingcheng initially wanted to discuss it further, but she had already come up with a plan so quickly.
“Come here…” Jiang Luoluo beckoned with her finger, and after he leaned in close, she whispered into his ear.
Of course, both sets of parents saw what was happening.
“Look at these two kids, don’t they just look perfect together!” An Xiuwen couldn’t help but comment.
The handsome man and beautiful woman made a very pleasant sight together, and since the elders from both families had more or less approved the relationship, they naturally grew fonder of the two youngsters.
Li Ying also nodded in agreement, “Yes, I just want Luoluo as my daughter. Sometimes, I really wish I had a son too. Now that Ah Cheng and Luoluo are together, it feels like my regret is somewhat alleviated.”
“I’m just the opposite; I always wanted a sensible and well-behaved daughter. This darn kid was such a troublemaker when he was younger, he gave me enough headaches.”
An Xiuwen and Li Ying got along very well, chatting about their children and discussing beauty and cosmetics as both had been great beauties in their youth.
And nothing more needs to be said about Jiang Bo and Chu Yongxin; they became close over a single cigarette break.
The meeting today between Chu Mingcheng and Jiang Luoluo was just a casual dinner, as both sets of parents had already approved their relationship, smooth interaction was only natural thereafter.
During the course of the meal, Chu Yongxin and Jiang Bo, unsurprisingly, ended up drunk.
An Xiuwen and Li Ying also drank quite a bit of wine, so only the younger ones, wary of getting drunk and causing issues, stuck to soft drinks.
After paying the bill, Chu Mingcheng planned to take his parents to the hotel, since they definitely couldn’t return home that day.
When Jiang Luoluo heard about going to the hotel, she immediately said, “Why go to a hotel and waste that money? Just stay at my place; we have enough rooms.”
“Would that be alright?” Chu Mingcheng hesitated.
“We’re all family, what’s there to mind?”
With Jiang Luoluo speaking so forthrightly, Chu Mingcheng naturally had no reason to refuse.
So, the two of them helped their drunken elders into the car, and then each drove a car to the Jiang Family’s home.
Upon arriving at the Jiang Family’s place, Chu Mingcheng found out that the rooms had already been prepared; obviously, they had prepared for this in advance.
After helping the elders into their bedrooms to rest, he and Jiang Luoluo sat down on the living room sofa, momentarily having nothing to do.
“By the way, are you not fishing for yellow croaker anymore?”
“No more, I’ve already gathered enough money to buy the boat; now we just wait for our ship to set sail.”
Chu Mingcheng had fished enough yellow croaker over time. If not for the pressure of buying a boat and rapid leveling up in the High-quality Aquatic Products Atlas, he might have considered trying other marine areas.
Currently, the High-quality Aquatic Products Atlas had reached level twelve. It’s worth noting that upgrading one level now required over a thousand experience points, which also indirectly indicated just how much yellow croaker Chu Mingcheng had caught during that time.
“You already have enough money?” Jiang Luoluo was astounded, being somewhat aware of Chu Mingcheng’s savings; she didn’t expect him to have filled this gap in just over ten days.
Moreover, with several months left in the next year, he could even pay off the seven hundred thousand he owed his parents.
“By the way, Luoluo, how about we go to Nansha and play for a month after New Year?” Chu Mingcheng suggested, reminded of a message he received a few days ago from the captain of the Sky.
Many clients had already made reservations there, planning to head to Nansha on the tenth day of the lunar month.
Chu Mingcheng thought this was a great opportunity. It was clearly not feasible to pilot his own ship there, so renting one seemed like the best option.
“A whole month?” Jiang Luoluo was also caught off guard by the suggestion.
“Yeah, it is a bit long. Do you have enough dance videos stocked up?”
“That’s not a problem at all, I can just delay their release by one month. I’ve recorded quite a few inspirations recently. I’ll practice a bit after I arrive, and then I can get into filming, no problem.”
Jiang Luoluo clearly understood that going to Nansha was a rare opportunity, especially since it’s different from going to Xisha.
That place is too far, with fewer boats going there, and one needs to book a long time in advance to get on a boat to Nansha.
Seeing that she agreed, Chu Mingcheng immediately took out his phone, intending to book two fishing spots with the captain of the Sky.
But then he suddenly thought of Zhang Wei and Chen Yang. There are many people on the fishing boat to Nansha, and it is not just a trip for two, thus having a few familiar faces makes it more fun.
So he first sent messages to Zhang Wei and Chen Yang, asking if they were going to Nansha.
Thirty days, thirty-eight thousand per person, counting the miscellaneous fees, it would roughly be around forty-two thousand.
Of course, if you rent fishing rods or charter trolling boats there, the costs would naturally be even higher.
But spending one month in Nansha, one could generally cover their costs with a bit of effort.
As for how much one could earn, that would depend on individual luck.
On the same boat, some might hook big fish, while others might end up with squid, naturally making a difference in earnings.
Zhang Wei earned over three hundred thousand at the end of the year with yellow croaker. Now, spending over forty thousand for a fishing spot in Nansha didn’t make him hesitate at all.
He even asked Chu Mingcheng what kind of fishing rod to bring, looking every bit the nouveau riche.
Chen Yang was a bit hesitant, but knowing the boat had Wi-Fi and one could have signal anytime by paying, he had no more doubts.
Chen Yang had bought a boat and was going to be a professional fisherman in Xia City, so going to Nansha was essential for him.
At that time, Chu Mingcheng had Wi-Fi on his trip to Xisha, but he did not really need it then, so he did not spend extra money on it.
“Luoluo, Ah Wei and Ah Yang are all prepared to go. Why don’t you ask Jiayi if she wants to come?” Chu Mingcheng felt it might seem inappropriate to just bring his girlfriend along, so he also considered his good buddy.
But hearing this, Jiang Luoluo could only smile helplessly, “Jiayi isn’t really into fishing. If it were a day or two at sea, maybe, but a month? How could she endure that?”
“Who knows, just like you who had no interest in fishing but started because of me. Maybe Jiayi might agree because of Chen Yang?”
How far Jiayi and Chen Yang’s relationship had progressed, both Chu Mingcheng and Jiang Luoluo weren’t very clear, but Chu Mingcheng could guess a bit from the love-struck way Chen Yang acted.
“They’ve progressed that quickly? Jiayi didn’t tell me anything.”
“Chen Yang didn’t say anything either, but we’ve been brothers for over twenty years, I can just tell.”
“Alright then!” Jiang Luoluo shrugged and tried calling Jiayi.
Who knew she would actually seriously consider it. Unfortunately, in the end, she felt the duration was too long and regretfully declined.
She still had her job, and taking a month off to go to sea would only be possible if she was changing her job location; otherwise, such a long vacation was untenable.
There was nothing they could do, so Chu Mingcheng confirmed the number of people and booked four fishing spots with the Sky’s captain, choosing single rooms for everyone.
Having fished in Xisha before, he knew very well how much a good resting environment could affect fishing.
The dry rooms on the second floor of the Sky were all single rooms; otherwise, he wouldn’t have easily given up the chance to share a room with Jiang Luoluo.
Afterward, Chu Mingcheng took Jiang Luoluo out of the neighborhood to buy equipment at a large fishing gear store.
This time he bought three electric reels, one of which was a twenty-thousand Z30 that could handle a two-hundred-pound catch.
The other two electric reels had much lower power, with a maximum capacity of a hundred pounds.
Of course, match rods and line groups had to be bought as well, and Chu Mingcheng even purchased a hard towing rod.
Clearly, he was hopeful that he would encounter particularly large fish, and having a hard towing rod would make it easier to troll for such big catches.
After spending a day in Hang City, on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Jiang Luoluo followed Chu Mingcheng and his family to Yanmen Island.
She was also busy at the end of the year. She spent the twenty-ninth on Yanmen Island and had to return to Hang City on the thirtieth to celebrate the New Year with her relatives.

Different from Chu Mingcheng’s side, her grandparents were still alive, so every New Year’s Eve was arranged at a hotel where relatives gathered together.
However, this kind of gathering generally dispersed after the elders passed away.
For those who were on good terms, they took turns hosting each year; for those who weren’t, everyone celebrated separately.
This year, Chu Mingcheng didn’t need to join the bustle, but after marrying Jiang Luoluo, he would have to be present.
Upon arriving at Yanmen Island, he parked the car at the road in front of his house, letting Jiang Luoluo out first, not to mention a few bags of gifts were essential.
An Xiuwen was puzzled by this and asked, “Why get off here?”
“Luoluo is here to defend your honor!” Chu Mingcheng explained as he started the car.
“Defend my honor?” An Xiuwen was even more confused.
However, it was just a little while before the car had already stopped in the backyard of his old home, and she hurried out of the car and ran to the front yard.
Chu Mingcheng couldn’t worry about the things in the car and also ran after her to prevent An Xiuwen from messing up Jiang Luoluo’s plan.
Of course, the curious Chu Yongxin followed behind as well; he also wanted to know how his daughter-in-law planned to defend his wife’s honor.
