There are more than 30 families in Bacun, and every family has a small sampan, all of them make a living at sea, and life is very difficult.

In the past, there were more people in the village than now, but later some people went to other places to make a living, and because of this, there were so many idle houses in the village.

Mei Yixuan saw that it was still early, so she asked Zhao Erli to take her to Lixu's house, she wanted to learn more about the situation in Bacun, so that she could make the next arrangement. The construction and development of the island are inseparable from the locals, and the fishermen are living a hard life, and if the conditions they give are superior enough, these fishermen will be the first batch of help.

However, thinking that the fishermen were having a hard time, it was not good for her to go so empty-handed, so she asked Zhao Erli to go back and carry a bag of white noodles from the warehouse, and then followed Zhao Erli to Lixu's house.

Li Xu's name is Li Maosheng, who lives in the middle of the village, and it is also a simple pattern of three stone straw houses, a one-person high stone wall, a wooden fence gate, three wing houses on the left and right, a firewood house, a barn house, and a thatched house.

When Mei Yixuan took Feifeng and Zhao Erli to push open the wooden fence and entered, Li Zheng's family was gathering in the main landlord's house and whispered about the new guests in the village.

Mei Yixuan took a look through the light in the room, and saw that Li Hai was in his early thirties, of medium stature, and his appearance was seven or eight points similar to his Lao Tzu, although he was a little thin, but he looked very strong and strong.

Li Maosheng heard the voices of Mei Yixuan and the others, hurriedly got down from the kang and welcomed the guests into the house.

Mei Yixuan entered the room with a smile and said a little apologetically, "I'm sorry Uncle Li, I'm sorry for the interruption." ”

Li Maosheng hurriedly said: "Don't disturb, don't bother, it's our honor for your guests to come to the door, but the humble house is shabby, and I ask Zhao Gongzi not to dislike it." ”

Mei Yixuan called herself Hong Gongzi after going out, Tong Hongying is Mrs. Hong, but she can't be surnamed Tong, otherwise it will be easy to expose their whereabouts, so Mei Yixuan thought about it for a while, and temporarily gave herself the surname Zhao, taking the surname of a modern mother, which is also convenient to call.

The external rhetoric is that Zhao Gongzi is the merchant concubine of a large family in the north, and his mother can't tolerate it, so he took his aunt and younger brother to the south. Because of her mother's huge power, she hid to the sea.

The name that Zhao Erli said to Li Maosheng was Zhao Hong, so there was Zhao Gongzi.

Mei Yixuan chatted with Li Maosheng while quickly scanning the scene in the house, and couldn't help frowning secretly, this home is too broken.

I saw a small wooden window on the south side of the house, and an old mattress was spread on a wooden bed under the window, and a dark yellow cotton mosquito net was hung above the bed, and four bamboo poles were fixed to the four corners of the bed.

A wrinkled-faced, kind-eyed old lady in her seventies sat on the bed, with a dozen small stools scattered around the wall, where almost everyone in the family, large and small, gathered. A simple oil lamp hung on the east wall, reflecting the awkward and uneasy expressions of the dozen or so people in the room because of the sudden arrival of the guests.

The room was dark and damp, there was a foul smell, mosquitoes flew in the dim light, and even the buzzing of mosquitoes could be heard. The mosquitoes on the beach are very powerful, they can stare into the meat, and after only coming in for a while, Mei Yixuan was bitten with a few pimples on her arms and legs.

Mei Yixuan couldn't see everyone clearly in a short time, but from the situation introduced by Zhao Erli, he knew that Li Maosheng's father had died when he was a child, and it was rumored that he went out to sea to fish and encountered a storm and never came back.

The old mother is 71 years old this year, and only Li Mao has one son. However, Li Maosheng married his wife Zhang and gave birth to three boys and one girl, and the heirs were also vigorous.

The eldest son, Li Hai, is two years old today Chinese New Year's Eve and married his wife Zhou. The eldest son Li Xiaohai is 12 years old this year, the second son Li Xiaolin is 9 years old this year, and the youngest daughter Li Coral is 6 years old this year.

The second son, Li Shan, is 28 years old this year and is married to Zheng. The eldest son, Li Xiaoshan, is eight years old this year, and the second son, Li Xiaolei, is five years old this year, and the family lives in the West Wing.

The daughter-in-law Li Hua is twenty-four years old, she has already been married, and her son-in-law's family has a grocery store in Ping'an Town.

The youngest son, Li Yang, is 21 years old this year, and he went to other places three years ago and has not returned, and he doesn't know where he is now, but occasionally he will ask someone to bring some silver taels to his family, and his family knows that he is safe and a little relieved.

However, because she has not married so far, it has become the biggest heart problem of Mrs. Li and her mother Zhang.

At this time, all the men, women and children of the Li family gathered in the house, wearing shabby clothes, almost all of them were barefoot, and the men were all open-minded.

Mei Yixuan politely greeted the people in the room, looking polite: "Grandma Li, Aunt Zhang, two eldest brothers and two sisters-in-law, nephews and nieces, the late Zhao Hong took the liberty to come to the door and disturbed, I hope the elders don't blame." ”

It was Li Maosheng's daughter-in-law Zhang who was the first to react, speaking Hokkien and muttering a few words, but unfortunately Mei Yixuan didn't understand a word. Fortunately, Li Xu Li Maosheng and his sons can speak official dialect with a Hokkien flavor, otherwise Mei Yixuan would really not be able to communicate with them.

Zhao Erli translated it briefly on the side, which probably means that there is no blame, it doesn't matter.

Later, Zhao Erli explained to everyone in Hokkien what Mei Yixuan meant, and handed over the bag of wheat flour he was carrying to Li Hai, explaining that this was a gift brought by Mei Yixuan's visit.

After hearing the meaning of Zhao Erli's words clearly, the whole family was stunned, looking at the bag of wheat flour in surprise, even Li Maosheng was so shocked that he didn't know what to say for a while.

Their family can only eat a meal of white noodles during the Chinese New Year, or mixed with glutinous rice noodles to make a meal of roasted wheat, or shrimp noodles and noodles. This is still Li Maosheng's house, the conditions are relatively good, and other families can't eat a meal of white noodles a year.

Although most southerners love rice and don't like pasta, they have to be able to afford it.

Rice is abundant in the south, and the yield is not low, but the price is very high, and it is not affordable for ordinary people. Most of them go to the town to buy sorghum rice, sorghum noodles and buckwheat noodles sold from the north, mixed with fish, shrimp and wild vegetables, and eat them alive, barely enough to feed their stomachs.

This is a situation that only happens when the harvest in the sea is good, and if the harvest is not good, there is no money in hand, even if it is cheap, you have to have money to buy it!
