Chapter 90: Catch the Sea
After the two of them took a bath, they felt much more refreshed, Lin Mo ran to the kitchen to make an oyster mushroom tofu soup, and fried a few stuffed oil cakes with dumpling skins.
After eating, the two of them looked at the yard and started to worry, last night after the two of them drank and threw all kinds of shells and peeled shrimp skin directly to the ground, plus the sea breeze blew last night, and now the whole yard is garbage after eating last night.
"This ......," Chen Nian asked, pointing to the plastic bags and garbage fluttering in the yard, "Will the landlord kill the two of us when he sees it?" ”
Lin Mo pretended to be calm and said, "It's okay, just clean up, I'll go to the bathroom to get a broom and a dustpan." ”
Fortunately, the closure of the yard is good enough, so that the garbage in the yard is not disturbed by the wind outside, which can be regarded as greatly reducing the cleaning pressure of the two people.
"No, I can't bully you like that, we're half in charge of one person separately. Chen Nian saw that Lin Mo was about to plunge into the yard with a broom and dustpan alone, and hurriedly said.
"There's no way to divide it, we just have this set of tools. Lin Mo shook the tool in his hand and said.
"I just saw that there are those particularly long gloves in the kitchen, since we can't be half of a person, then let's just do this, up and down, one person is responsible for the table and chairs, and one person is responsible for the floor, fair and just. Chen Nian thought about it carefully and said.
"Okay, I can't compete with you, so let's do it, you are in charge of the tables and chairs, and I am in charge of the ground. Lin Mo said as he cleaned up.
"Stop, no, it's not fair, we have to choose a completely fair and just method. Chen Nian stood in front of Lin Mo and said very seriously.
"Eh, is it necessary to be so troublesome?" Lin Mo scratched Chen Nian's nose and said with a smile, "You say, what kind of fair and just law?"
"Scissors burden the hammer, and the one who loses is responsible for the ground. Chen Nian pondered for a while, and still felt that the scissors burden hammer was the safest method.
"Okay, listen to you, just scissors and burden hammers. Lin Mo smiled helplessly.
After several draws between the two, Chen Nian won in the end.
"Okay, now it's a happy decision, you are in charge of the floor, and I am in charge of the tables and chairs. Chen Nian wore long rubber gloves taken out of the kitchen, held the trash can in one hand, and began to get the garbage on the table into the trash can with his hands.
Lin Mo is responsible for cleaning the ground, because most of the houses are made of wood, and in order to match the design style of the house, some of the yards are paved with wood, which causes many shells to fall into the gap between the two woods, and it is difficult to get them out with a broom, so I have to pick them out with my hands.
In contrast, Chen Nian's work was relatively easy, and it was cleaned up after a while, she saw Lin Mo squatting on the ground and picking at the shells in the cracks of the wood, for fear that he would accidentally scratch her hand, so she quickly took off her gloves and handed them to Lin Mo.
Chen Nian picked up the broom on the ground and cleaned all the places that were easier to clean, and dumped the garbage in the trash can at the entrance of the courtyard.
After Lin Mo got all the shells out of the cracks, he felt that his short sleeves were soaked, so he had to take a shower again.
The two people who were so tired that they fell asleep as soon as they lay down on the bed, and Lin Mo set an alarm clock at five o'clock in the afternoon before going to bed.
As soon as the alarm clock rang, Lin Mo quickly turned off the bell, then changed into shorts and began to pack his things. When the things were almost packed, he went back to the bedroom and called Chen Nian to get up.
"Niannian, get up. Lin Mo lightly imprinted on Chen Nian's face and whispered.
"Hmm, what time is it, Momo. Chen Nian yawned and stretched hard and asked.
"It's past five o'clock, I've packed up all my things, you get up now, change your clothes, wash your face, and we'll set off." Lin Mo put Chen Nian's outstretched arm on the back of his neck and gently hugged her.
"Where are you going?" Chen Nian asked, sitting on the bed and rubbing his eyes.
"I'm dazed, didn't we say yesterday that we were going to catch the sea today?" Lin Mo looked at Chen Nian who was in a daze in front of him, rubbed her hair and said.
Hearing Lin Mo say this, Chen Nian finally remembered, "Yes, we said yesterday that we were going to catch the sea." ”
"Remember? When I think about it, I get up and wash up. Lin Mo helped Chen Nian tidy up the bangs in front of him, patted her pigu and said.
"It hurts, why are you beating people, I'm not sorry!" Chen Nian rubbed the place where Lin Mo had beaten him, and reluctantly got up from the bed.
Lin Mo watched Chen Nian go to the bathroom and whispered, "It feels good." ”
At half past five, the two of them locked the courtyard door, put rain boots on their feet, and carried packed buckets, shovels, gloves, awls, salt and other tools in their hands, and walked to the beach.
Lin Mo is a very strange and novel thing for the two people who grew up in the inland since childhood, there is a lot of knowledge in this, fortunately, Lin Mo has made a strategy and preparation in advance, so that the two of them will not return empty-handed.
When Lin Mo got up in the morning, he looked at today's tide table, which probably showed that today's low tide time was around 18:00, so he set an alarm clock for 17:00 in advance, plus the time to clean up and wash, and the two of them walked to the beach when the tide almost began to recede.
The two of them walked slowly along the shoreline, learning from the locals around them to sprinkle salt on the beach, and luckily the two of them actually found the leech.
Maybe it's because the two of them are really lucky, and the first time they caught a lot of fish, shrimp, crabs, shells, leeches and all kinds of seafood.
Chen Nian also picked up a lot of good-looking shells, and was ready to take them home to make a beautiful wind chime.
"Nian Nian, are you cold?" Lin Mo felt a little cold on his body when the sea breeze blew, especially after the shorts that were soaked by the tide just now, after sticking to his legs, Lin Mo couldn't help but feel excited.
"Well, it feels a little cold, and it's a little dark, and I can't see clearly. Chen Nian tightened his clothes and said.
"Then let's go back. Lin Mo put away the shovel and threw it into the bag, carrying the bucket full of harvest and leading Chen Nian back step by step.
The two of them went home and took a basin and put water on it, and poured the contents of the bucket into it one by one, and covered the basin with a mesh iron basin, and pressed a piece of iron on top of it, to make sure that these things would not get out tonight.
Even though the two of them were wearing shorts, the tide was still wetting the sides of their shorts, and the smell of the sea water was clearly visible.
After changing the dirty clothes and throwing them into the washing machine, Lin Mo took a few shrimp and oyster meat, plus a little vegetables, and made a bowl of steaming seafood noodles.
"Drink some soup while it's hot and get rid of the cold and dampness. Lin Mo put the noodles in front of Chen Nian and gave her a spoon.
"Well, even though it's summer, the sea breeze is still relatively cool. Chen Nian held the bowl in both hands, blowing the hot air that kept wafting out.
After the two of them finished drinking, they simply cleaned up the house, took a bath, and then lay down on the bed in the bedroom, looked at the moon outside the window, and kept saying the truth in their hearts.
They talked about all kinds of anecdotes from their childhood to the troubles and confusions they encountered when they grew up, etc., etc., etc., and the sea breeze slipped in through the window, blowing the wind chimes hanging above the bed crisply.
"Momo, I love you!" Chen Nian suddenly spoke.
"Niannian, I love you too. Lin Mo replied extremely seriously.
The sea breeze blew all night, stirring the hair of the person next to the pillow and the hearts of the two people who were about to move.
The next morning, the sun rose in the east, dyeing the whole sea golden, and when the two men woke up, they went to the door and stretched their waists, enjoying the arrival of a new day.
