Early the next morning, it was Li Chensong's signature loud voice that woke up Li Chenlan.

"Get up, let's go to the sea!"

Li Chensong's voice was excited.

First, the grouper and stone crab brought back from the sea the day before yesterday were sold for 48 yuan, which was higher than the income of the few small marine fish brought back by my father when he went out to fish, which alleviated the embarrassment of this small family.

Second, the novelty made by the fourth sister looks very good, and he can't wait to try it.

Li Erzhu had already gotten up and was doing carpentry work in the yard.

Naturally, the wood was not yet dawn, and he ran to the mountains to cut it back. It's rare to have a woodcutter at home, so you don't have to use it in vain, and when the four girls return the woodcutter, it's inconvenient for him to do something.

A few days after they separated, the family lacked everything, and what he was doing was a washbasin. said that it was a washbasin, Li Erzhu deliberately made it bigger and deeper, and it could also be used as a vegetable washbasin, a stone bath basin, etc.

After all, there is a shortage of containers to be used at home, and everyone is going to the river to solve the personal hygiene these days, and it is too inconvenient to wash and wash or something.

Li Chenlan said while dressing, "Dad, help me chop five bamboo tubes and use them for seafood in a while." ”

Of the two bamboos brought back yesterday, Li Chenlan deliberately kept the hardest and largest sections at the bottom, just thinking that she could decorate the seafood when she caught the sea.

The tattered fishing nets used to catch the sea last time were picked up by Li Chenxing outside, and they made a total of two or three net pockets, which was not enough for so many children in the family to have one.

Besides, whether you take it home to eat or take it out to sell for money, it is good to put it in water.

"Okay!"

Li Erzhu stopped what he was doing, carried the bamboo joints, and thought that he would use them anyway, so he simply cut down the remaining nine bamboo joints.

The other four are not bad whether they are used for drinking water or oil, salt, sauce and vinegar for cooking. Thinking about it this way, the bamboo knot is not enough, and I have to go up the mountain later.

Li Chenlan took the chopped bamboo tube, and after a while, Li Chenhe and several other brothers and sisters had already gotten up, and Li Chenlan distributed one by herself.

"Why don't you have mine?"

Li Chenbai waited and waited, and when he saw Li Chenlan holding the last bamboo tube into his arms, he was suddenly unhappy, "They all have them, why don't I have them?" ”

"Aren't you going to the school?"

Li Chenlan is a little strange, this third brother is an ancient version of a learning maniac, in Li Chenxing's mouth, that is the person who grows on the wall outside the school almost every day.

When the owner hit the doorpost, he was also eavesdropping on other people's master's lectures outside the school, so he wasn't at home, and he didn't come to the sea last time, did he?

"I'm not going today, I'll go with you to catch the sea."

Li Chenbai's face flushed.

It's one thing to like to listen to the master's lectures, but in the past he was away from home every day, mainly because he had to work at home before the separation. It's nothing to work, the main thing is that it's not pleasing to do the work. When grandma saw him, she still scolded and scolded, and the eldest aunt even had a nose that was not a nose and eyes that were not eyes, so there was no quiet time at home.

As for the past few days after the separation, he has become accustomed to running and has not changed for a while.

And yesterday he helped out all afternoon, and finally made seven or eight sand chops, and now he is very curious about whether this thing is good or not!

Li Chenlan was a little speechless, handed him his bamboo tube, and went to Li Erzhu to get a bamboo tube.

"It's not bad to catch the sea, so I'll eat first."

Wang came over with a high spirit, probably getting up at the same time as Li Erzhu, breakfast was made and warmed in the pot, and after a while, the simple stone table was full.

A large pot of steamed buns with Sanhe noodles is filled with a bamboo drawer that I bought yesterday, as well as a bowl of wild vegetable egg drop soup and three dishes of pickles - sour radish, capers, and pickled cucumbers.

"Egg drop soup for the four girls to eat, you go to the pot to scoop the wild vegetable soup."

No one has a problem with this arrangement.

Even the smallest stone only tried to swallow his saliva, and did not open his mouth to ask for egg drop soup.

Li Chenlan: "......"

Eating alone or something...... Well, it's a bit stressful.

However, time is of the essence at this time, and catching the sea is a race against time. Instead of pushing around for a bowl of egg drop soup, it is better to finish eating early and find more seafood. In addition to improving the space of shark beads, let everyone in the family eat egg drop soup!

Li Chenlan made a quick decision, not only solved a big bowl of egg drop soup, but also nibbled on a fist-sized Sanhe noodle steamed bun, panting for breath.

Wang's steamed buns are willing to cut the ingredients, probably because they feel sorry for the children in the family who have not eaten enough in the past few days, and finally have some money, and the meals last night and this morning are all dry goods.

However, Li Chenlan estimated that the harvest of Li Erzhu and their gathering yesterday would not exceed 100 wen in total.

There is the so-called half-sized child, who eats the poor man.

There are now six children in the family, plus Li Erzhu and his wife, even if they are saved, they will have to eat more than a pound of grain in one meal. A pound of food costs three pennies, three meals a day, so it can't last long. At most, a few days of hard work, the family will be poor and white.

In addition, when Li Erzhu and the others came back, they also bought bamboo drawers for steaming steamed buns, salt, oil and other things necessary for cooking, and even bought three kinds of pickles - which were placed on the breakfast table at this moment. Although the amount is not much, it also costs more than a dozen yuan.

The task of getting out of the family poverty line is long and arduous!

"Orchid, come, drink wild vegetable soup smoothly."

Li Chenhe handed over a small bowl of cold wild vegetable soup, Li Chenlan took a sip and drank it dry, and the steamed bun stuck in her throat finally rushed down, "Go, go, go to the sea!" ”

Li Erzhu naturally won't go, he wants to stay at home and do carpentry work. Wang had to take care of things at home and outside the house, and he didn't go.

So Li Chenlan's six brothers and sisters, each with a sand chop, carrying a bamboo tube in their arms, went to the beach, and Li Chenxing also brought the broken fishing nets at home.

This line is the only one, and as he walks all the way, he is followed by a large number of children from a small fishing village.

"Stone, what are you holding in your hand?"

"Xinghua'er, is this thing used to pull sand?"

"Brother Bai'er, can you show me?"

……

Li Chenlan and others simply answered the questions of the "masses", but the steps under their feet were getting bigger and bigger.

Since only the sand grill is made, the crab clamping tool is not ready, and the sand grill is good on the beach.

Li Chenlan has several brothers and sisters, one of them found a piece of beach and started drying, clams, clams, or clams!

Hairy clams, hairy clams, and hairy clams again!

Ah, scallops!

Shrimp creeper, moon shellfish, geoduck...... Gradually, Li Chenlan and others harvested more varieties of seafood.

With the right tools, it is much more convenient than digging sand with bare hands, but unfortunately the sand chop made of bamboo is not strong enough to be compared with the steel made of later generations.

If you accidentally dig under the sand and hide a stone, it is easy to cause bumps and damage to the tool. Fortunately, there are not many rocks in this large sandy beach area......
