Chapter 3: Uncle Clan Helps Lu Chaoyi
Lu Chaoyi followed her grandmother home with her younger brother and walked for about half an hour before arriving home. Because it only took half an hour to get close to the elderly, it should only take fifteen to twenty minutes for adults to walk normally.
The Lu family is not too close or far from the sea, and Lu Chaoyi feels that this distance is just right.
The fishing village where Lu Chaoyi's family is located is called Shigang Village, which is a small fishing village by the sea. There are about 20 families in the whole village, with three surnames, namely Lu, He, and Fu. Most of the people in the village have the surname Lu, there are three families with the surname He, and there are two families with the surname Fu.
The surname Lu is the original villager of Shigang Village, and the surname He and Fu are two families who fled the famine and came to Shigang Village in the fifties and sixties. Because the daughters of the two families married the villagers of Shigang Village, the two families lived in Shigang Village. Over the decades, the original two families have grown into the current five.
Lu Chaoyi's family originally lived in the middle of the village, and the house they lived in was a tiled house that had lived for decades. The old tiled house has been living for decades, and the beams of the house are broken. Last year, Lu's father finally saved enough money to find the village chief to redraw the foundation and build the current flat-roofed house. Now Lu Chaoyi's family lives at the end of Shigang Village, which is the closest family to the sea in the village. Lu Chaoyi's house was a flat-roofed house that was newly built last year, and it also surrounded a small front yard.
The flat-roofed house of Lu Chaoyi's house is a typical southern house structure, with bedrooms on both sides of the central hall. There are two bedrooms, one is where Lu's father and Lu's mother live, and the other is where Lu Chaoyi lives with his younger brother and grandmother. The front yard also houses a kitchen and toilet.
Before Lu's father and Lu's mother had an accident, Lu Chaoyi's family was also a good family in Shigang Village. Less than the above, more than the bottom.
It was precisely because they built a new house last year and used up the family's savings that Lu's father and Lu's mother would earn tuition for Lu Chaoyi's sister and brother and often go to sea to fish. But I didn't expect that in the event of a storm, someone with the boat was gone
。
Lu's father and Lu's mother have passed away for half a month, and Grandma Lu has not yet come out of the pain of losing her child. Xiao Lu Chaoyi had to shoulder the burden of supporting his family and follow the villagers out to the sea to earn money. Little Lu Chaoyi encountered an accident, and only then did Lu Chaoyi arrive.
Now the burden of supporting the family will fall on Lu Chaoyi in the future.
"Ayi, you're all wet, hurry up and take a shower and change into clean clothes, and grandma will cook for you. ”
When she got home, Grandma Lu urged Lu Chaoyi to take a bath and change clothes.
"Knowing grandma, I took out the fish first and raised them before going to the bath, and today I picked up a lot of valuable ones, and I will sell them later. ”
It's summer now, although it's wet and uncomfortable, but it's not cold, Lu Chaoyi plans to raise the seafood he brought back first, it's all money, it's the source of their family's livelihood in the future.
"You put it away, I'll clean it up, you hurry up and take a shower to don't catch a cold." ”
Grandma Lu took the fish basket from Lu Chaoyi's hand and took Lu Chaoyi to take a bath.
"Grandma'......"
"I know how to clean up, go shower, go, go. ”
Lu Chaoyi wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Grandma Lu urging her to take a bath.
"Grandma, you listen to me first, and when I'm done, I'll go wash it." ”
"Grandma, there are a few sea bass in the basket, you take the big one out, and we will eat it ourselves later." Just the fish is steamed, and the fish head is stewed. ”
Like this seafood that has just come out to sea, such a delicacy, Lu Chao Yiguang is hungry for it.
"Sea bass is so expensive that it can be sold for a lot of money, how can you eat it? Let's keep this sea bass and sell it for money. "Grandma Lu is reluctant to eat such expensive seafood.
Little Brother Lu originally heard Lu Chaoyi say that he would make sea bass to eat, and the little guy was very happy. But now when I hear Grandma Lu say that she doesn't eat it and keeps it for sale, the little guy is unhappy.
"Grandma, I want to eat fish. I'm going to eat fish. ”
Since the death of Lu's father and Lu's mother, the family has made fish to eat. Brother Lu, who has been eating fish since weaning, is not a slanderer.
"Grandma, we're not bad for this fish. My younger brother is still young, so he should eat something good to grow his body. You are just sick, and you should make up for it. And I want to eat fish, too. ”
She has a golden finger, and it will not be easy to catch this sea bass in the future. Although this sea bass is expensive, Lu Chaoyi is not distressed at all when he wants to eat it.
"Grandma, I want to eat fish. "Little Brother Lu is very clever and coquettish with Grandma Lu.
"Okay, grandma agreed, grandma made fish for you to eat. ”
Grandma Lu touched Little Brother Lu's head and turned her head to urge Lu Chaoyi: "Don't go take a bath yet." ”
"Ordered. I'll go. ”
Lu Chaoyi went back to the room and took clothes to take a bath, and gave Grandma Lu a hand for Lu Xiaoyu, who ate fish.
Grandma Lu looked at her well-behaved little grandson with a relieved smile on her face.
This time, Lu Chaoyi almost didn't come back when he went to catch the sea, and almost failed his granddaughter again, which made Grandma Lu, who was immersed in the pain of losing her child, sober up, and she finally cheered up from the pain of losing her child. Her son and daughter-in-law are gone, she still has grandchildren, she has to raise her grandchildren well for her son, she can no longer be immersed in pain, she has to cheer up.
Lu Chaoyi quickly took a cold shower, washed his wet clothes and took them out to dry. Grandma Lu was still cooking in the kitchen, and Little Brother Lu obediently burned wood for Grandma Lu. It was just after twelve o'clock in the afternoon, and Lu Chaoyi planned to sell the seafood while it was still fresh after lunch.
Xiao Lu Chaoyi used to accompany Lu's father and Lu's mother to sell seafood, because there were often restaurants and hotels on the beach to collect fresh seafood, and the fishermen didn't worry about the market at all, but they couldn't catch seafood.
The hotel comes to collect seafood at a higher rate than the vendors who sell it to the market, although it is only higher, but the fishermen are already satisfied. At present, Lu Chaoyi, who has no other way out, also plans to sell seafood as before.
When everything was in order, Grandma Lu also made lunch, and after the family had a delicious seafood lunch, Lu Chaoyi took the seafood to sell on a bicycle. Originally, Grandma Lu was going to go together, but she was persuaded by Lu Chaoyi.
Under the big sun, Lu Chaoyi rushed to the free market where the traders came to collect seafood on weekdays with seafood. It was only when she arrived that she realized that there was no one in the market today, and she didn't know if it was because of the storm in the morning.
Now Lu Chaoyi is worried, what can I do if I confiscate the seafood? This seafood will not be released for a long time, and it will die if it is left for a long time, and it will be worthless if it dies.
"Hey, isn't this the Ayi who built my brother's house?"
Lu Chaoyi parked the car under the tree to figure out a way, and suddenly heard someone behind her calling her, and looked back to see that it was the clan uncle from the same village.
"Uncle Jianmin. ”
"Ayi, what are you doing here when the sun is so big at noon? Go home quickly, don't get heat stroke. Lu Jianmin was worried about persuading Lu Chaoyi to go home.
"Uncle Jianmin, I'm here to sell seafood, why didn't anyone come to collect seafood today?"
Seeing that Uncle Jian seemed to be coming back from outside, he should know, Lu Chaoyi asked.
"You're here to sell seafood? You're late, it's raining heavily in the morning, and the seafood collectors leave early. What kind of seafood are you?" Lu Jianmin walked over to see, Lu Chaoyi's water tank with seafood was tied to the back of the bicycle, and a lot of ice was put to cool down because of the hot weather.
"Yo, you're a big deal. Lu Jianmin opened the water tank and saw a big dragon at first sight, weighing at least four or five pounds, as well as grouper and sea bass, and a lot of coconut snails, all of which were valuable goods.
"I went to the sea in the morning and didn't have time to come back from a storm, so I took shelter from the rain at the reef by the sea, which I picked up at high tide. Lu Chaoyi explained the origin of her seafood, which made Lu Jianmin, who was still envious of her, worried, and lost her envy in her heart.
"Ayik is really lucky. However, the high tide of this sea is too dangerous, and when the tide rises in the future, hurry home, don't be greedy for cheap, life matters, no matter how expensive the seafood is, it is not important to live. Your grandmother is old, your brother is still young, if you have any chance, what will they do? ”
The situation of Lu Chaoyi's family, Lu Jianmin is really worried about their family.
Lu Jianmin is also an old fisherman, and Lu Chaoyi is a niece of the clan, so Lu Jianmin kindly persuaded her. Lu Jianmin's words were really good for Lu Chaoyi, but Lu Chaoyi couldn't hear it.
"Uncle Jianmin, don't worry, I know, I won't in the future. ”
"It's good to know. Lu Jianmin didn't say much, he looked at the little Lu Chaoyi, and looked at the seafood in Lu Chaoyi's water tank.
"You can't keep these seafood for long, and it would be a pity if you died. In this way, I know the owner of a restaurant in the city, and their family also collects seafood, so Uncle will take you to see it. ”
Thinking of Lu Jianmin taking the initiative to help her, Lu Chaoyi was very happy and grateful.
"Uncle Jian, thank you. ”
Lu Jianmin rubbed Lu Chaoyi's head:
"What are I polite to your uncle, I grew up with your father when I was a child, we are not brothers but brothers, and my uncle will be your uncle in the future. Don't be polite to your uncle. Let's go, Uncle will take you to sell seafood. ”
