Chapter Twenty-Six: Grandpa's Chrysanthemum Beach II
"Grandma, we have eaten, my mother and I came this time because the third aunt next door is doing confinement, and my mother's sister is also doing confinement, and she wants us to come over and help buy some eggs. The commune charges four cents for one, four cents for ten, and she wants to buy ten four cents and two, and if you know who has it, we will buy two hundred, three hundred. ”
The barley immediately said with a smile
As soon as the old lady heard about this good thing, these ten could earn two cents, three hundred, but it was six dimes, six cents, and she could get fifteen eggs for nothing, and she could buy five catties of bud rice noodles. The old lady's face suddenly improved.
"This matter, you just leave it to your grandmother, three hundred, girl, it's cash, if it's cash, I'll be able to recruit you in a while"
Lu Xiaohong immediately nodded, "Mom, the money is brought, as long as the eggs are brought, the cash will be given immediately."
"Okay, you and your dad go to the sea, it's half past two, it's just the time of low tide, you go pick up some sea cabbage, and you can eat it as a dish when you go home." When you are done with the sea, I will summon you eggs when you come back. ”
When Lu Xiaohong heard this, she immediately smiled, "Thank you, Mom"
"Alas, family, what's polite, old man, take the bag and hurry up and take your daughter to the sea!"
Although the barley has grown so big, it is the first time to come to the chrysanthemum beach where her grandfather's house is located, in the previous life, before Lu Xiaohong died, she never brought her to her parents' house, for fear that her mother would say that she would bring her mouth again, and after Lu Xiaohong died, their family and this grandmother's family basically broke off the relationship.
The old man said sullenly: "Hurry Hazi, why does it take an hour for the tide to recede, you don't know." You go and go to recruit eggs, I'll talk to my daughter at home, I haven't seen you for a long time, I have to let my daughter eat, I'm walking"
The old lady, for the sake of six cents and two catties of soybean oil, pouted, "You feel sorry for your daughter, you have to get it, can't I go?" ”
The old man, at first glance, cooks at home, he quickly made a pot of rotten seaweed soup for the children, with vermicelli, shredded bacon meat, and clam meat in it, put some diced potatoes, and drank the corn tortillas in the morning, not to mention how fresh they were; Because grandma was not at home, grandpa kept persuading her to eat more. The barley drank two large bowls in a row, and she didn't want to stop her mouth, if it weren't for the discomfort in her stomach, she probably wouldn't even want to put down the chopsticks.
"Grandpa, what you made is so delicious" while rubbing his little belly, he was full of praise.
"Well, ask me clearly, your soup is delicious, I just can't make you taste like this," Lu Xiaohong also said with a smile on the side.
The old man disagreed, "Alas, how can it be as delicious as you say, to make this thing is to put oil, and you can't make this taste without oil." The old man said that it was not that she made it delicious, but that everyone had not eaten oil for a long time.
"Dad, my sister, how is she doing lately?"
"Don't mention it, your mother, there is only your younger brother in her eyes, and she is not very ordinary to her daughter, red, don't worry about your mother, your brother is the youngest, she is afraid of being called out of the house, your brother was born, she felt that she had raised her head and behaved, so it was inevitable to be partial to Xiaobao! If you can ask for it, you will give birth to one, a woman, without a son, she will always be unable to raise her head. ”
Lu Xiaohong nodded, "Dad, I understand"
Lu Dazhu took a sip of wine and said slowly, "Don't talk about it, the time is almost up, you take the children to the beach for a walk, go get some seafood to take back, it's noon tide today, and you can catch things." ”
Lu Xiaohong stood up after hearing this, "Dad, I'll take the child to catch the sea first, and I'll clean up when I come back." , let's go first".
Lu Dazhu brought his father's characteristic smile: "Go quickly, Dad will go catch a few fish, and I will take them with you when I leave." ”
Lu Xiaohong's eyes immediately reddened when she heard this, although her mother favored her younger brother since she was a child, her father treated her sisters very well. Lu Xiaohong packed up and went to the sea with tools, and when the barley heard this, he immediately followed behind.
In fact, the sea is not too far from grandma's house, and the barley estimated that it was more than a mile, and they heard the sound of the waves crashing against the reef from a distance.
When Lu Xiaohong and the others arrived, the sea water had receded, and the barley didn't have time to look at the sea at all, because she only had food in her eyes. "Mom, let's pick it up quickly, so many sea vegetables" Barley's eyes lit up when he saw these things, if it was in the future life, it would be able to sell for a lot of money, and now it is free, and so much.
The mother and the two then also invested in the army of catching the sea, the barley belongs to the people outside the mountain, and the sea can only be regarded as a lively sight for them, the real seaside people, with tools to quickly find clams in the beach Under the demonstration of the mother, they can also find their own clam nests.
The time to catch the sea is only two hours, so everyone's movements are fast and do not delay talking, some people rush to almost enough food to go back, after all, the people who live by the sea are just to eat fresh, and Lu Xiaohong and Barley rarely come once, so they didn't go back until the sea was about to rise. Today's harvest was very rich, and two people drove two baskets of clams. I also picked up some seaweed and conch. While people were not paying attention, the barley was thrown into the space.
When they went back, Grandpa actually caught four or five big fish......
"Girl, Dad, I still have to work in the afternoon, and I can't delay it for too long, so I got so much.?"
"Dad, it's already a lot, we can't take it if it's too much, you all hurry up and go to work, let's clean up and go back, it's so dark when we're late."
And Zhao Xiufan also brought two boxes of eggs, exactly three hundred, when Lu Xiaohong handed her the money, three hundred eggs, 13 yuan, the old lady was immediately happy, because she couldn't find it under the excuse, and she made another four cents. Lu Xiaohong didn't say anything, after all, this can still break away two yuan.
The old lady also had a smile on her face this time, but it was rare to be generous, after all, the seafood, she always eats, and does not feel sorry for these things, and then said: ", a big family, walking on the mountain road or leaving early, for the children to catch up with the seafood are loaded, but also the family dried salted fish also took out some out, girl, next time, in the buy eggs, mom is helping you Zhang Luo." ”。
"Mom, Dad, then I'll go with the barley."
The two of them set off with their things, this time it was not as easy as when they came, Lu Xiaohong took the eggs, because the eggs were afraid of beating, and the remaining fish and clams were put in their pockets, tied on both sides, and placed on their shoulders. If you walk back like this, you have to be tired and half happy, fortunately, most of the things to let her put in the baby, walked for a while, saw that no one, immediately put the items into the baby, the mother and the two of them were easy to go into battle.
