"Why did you faint? What did the doctor say? The second daughter-in-law took care of her little granddaughter without undressing, and the old man was in his eyes.

"Grandma didn't let me ask for a doctor, saying that my mother just needs to sleep!" Yu Xiaocao took eye medicine at the right time.

"Nonsense! After eating for a while, I invited Dr. You to show the second daughter-in-law, don't drag a small illness into a major illness. Lao Yutou frowned, drank the bean soup, wiped his mouth, and said.

Zhang muttered reluctantly: "Please don't spend money on the doctor!" The third child is about to take the county exam, and he has to take the county and Fucheng exams! The money is spent on the second child and their family, and if they can't get together, can the third child not blame you......"

Lao Yu's brows furrowed, he slapped his chopsticks on the table, and said, "How can our family be as difficult as you say?" Every year, the money earned by hunting alone has to be more than a dozen taels. Not to mention the income from fishing every day! The third child has been taking the exam for so many years, and he can't even pass the children's exam. I don't think it's better to read it, save money to buy a few acres of land, and come down to farm. ”

With the conditions of Lao Yu's family, if it weren't for more than ten years of studying for the third child, even if the rice and white noodles were eaten openly every day, it would be more than enough. The shackles of the gentleman, the rent and food in the town, were enough to bring down a modest peasant family.

"What? Old man! The fortune teller can say that our family has the fate of an official master! I also pointed to the third child to earn my life! Even if you smash the pot and sell iron, I will also give him up!! Although Zhang was a little afraid of the old man, for the sake of his son's future and his own glory, he decided to fight to the end!

Lao Yutou glared at his wife, but he didn't continue, threw the bowl in his hand, and said angrily: "I'll go and clean up the three acres of dry land!" By the way, Xiaolian, give your mother a bowl of white noodles and bury two poached eggs. She's tired enough these days! ”

"Hey! Thank you grandpa! Yu Xiaocao hurriedly agreed loudly, smiling and narrowing his eyes.

"Xiaolian - Xiaolian, you dead girl, what are you grinding in the house? Didn't you see the sky change? Hurry up and put away the clothes that are drying!! Every day, Yu Xiaocao wakes up to her grandmother's sharp scolding.

Liu, who is used to being enslaved by his mother-in-law, has to get up habitually. was stopped by Yu Hai: "You rest for a while!" Let me see!! ”

Today's wind and waves are relatively strong and not suitable for going to sea, and Yu Hai is rarely idle at home.

After collecting his clothes, he re-entered and said to Brother Xiaoshi: "Today is the second day of the sixth month, and this hour is the time of great low tide. I just went out to see, it was cloudy, the southwest wind, the tide receded quickly, and there were more seafood, which was a good weather to catch the sea. Walk! Dad will take you to find some oysters, crabs, fish and shrimp, and if you're lucky, you can even see abalone! ”

"Catch the sea? Daddy, I've never been to the sea! I'm going too, take me there!! ”

In her previous life, Lin Xiaowan's hometown was in the inland area, and she lived to be twenty-nine years old when she was touched by the light of her sister, who was studying in a coastal city, and she had only seen the sea for the only time in her life.

It's been five or six days since she arrived in this seaside fishing village, and the Liu family has detained her at home to recuperate from her injuries, and she has never left the door, let alone seen the sea. As soon as he heard that there was an opportunity to catch the sea, Yu Xiaocao decided to follow even if he was rolling and crying. Who made her a child now? There is a right to be willful.

Liu was also frightened, and hurriedly coaxed the little girl in a good voice: "It's windy today, and your injuries are not completely healed." In a few days, wherever you want, my mother will not stop you. ”

The grass is not followed, and she is almost moldy at home. Today's opportunity is rare, accompanied by Dad, a good fisherman, there will definitely be a lot of gains, where can I miss this opportunity?

"Mother! Grandpa You said that my injuries were fine and my body was fine. I'm in good health now, and I eat so well! Grandpa You said that more activity is good for my body. Just let me follow! As he spoke, Yu Xiaocao turned his pleading gaze to the father who doted on his children.

Yu Hai has never had any resistance to the little girl, so he surrendered directly: "Mu Yun, Xiaocao has me watching, you can rest assured!" You can rest at home in peace, and wait for us to pick up abalone and cook porridge for you to replenish your body! ”

As he spoke, he winked at his little daughter and motioned for her to hurry out of the house. Yu Xiaocao pushed the door out with a grin.

In the yard, Yu Hang had already picked up the utensils needed to catch the sea. Xiaolian and Xiaoshi carried a bucket and a shovel, happily waiting for their father to come out. In the hearts of the children, the father is omnipotent, and he has a premonition that there will be a bumper harvest today before he goes out.

In June, the air in Dongshan Village is cloudy, and the air is hot and humid. Yu Xiaocao, who was wearing only a single coat, carried a small bamboo basket and tried to keep up with his father's footsteps.

Yu Hai is tall and strong, and he has to face up by one meter and eight meters. Eight-year-old Yu Xiaocao, due to long-term illness and weakness, is half a head shorter than Yu Xiaolian, who came out only a quarter of an hour earlier than her. The little short leg had already tried his best to rush forward, but he was quickly left behind.

From time to time, I paid attention to the children's Yu Hai and discovered the embarrassment of my little daughter. Haha smiled, picked her up with one hand, and rested it on his shoulder.

Yu Xiaocao was a little nervous at first, and she was slightly embarrassed. Her mental age is almost catching up with Yu Hai, and she is still treated like a child, even the five-year-old Xiaoshi is not treated like this. Xiaocao couldn't help but blush.

As the eldest brother, Yu Hang is also silently observing the frail little sister. Seeing that her face was red, he handed her the little straw hat made of bamboo strips to her hand, and said with concern: "Little sister, although it is a cloudy day today, you have not seen the sun for a long time, and it is still easy to get sunburned." Look, my face is red. ”

In ancient times, the lunar calendar was timed, and June was considered the height of summer, and even if it was cloudy on the beach, the ultraviolet intensity was not low. However, Yu Xiaocao's face was not sunburned.

The high tide is a rare opportunity to increase income generation for the people of Dongshan fishing villages who rely on the sea to eat the sea. Experienced old fishermen have long figured out the time of low tide. Today's lowest tide is around noon, and the tidal flats are already covered with men, women, and children rushing to the sea.

Yu Hai's family came late, and the good positions were taken up by others. Xiao Shi muttered with some disappointment: "If it weren't for the late cooking of the eldest uncle, those good seats would definitely be ours." ”

Yu Hai touched his little head and said with a smile: "Don't be discouraged! Daddy knows a good place where no one is guaranteed! ”

The good place that Yu Hai said is a sea reef near the cliff. The reef is a treacherous reef that is covered in sea on weekdays and has high waves at high tide. It is only revealed when there is a high tide. Moreover, this place is far away from the village, and most people can't think of coming here.

This sea reef looks treacherous, but in fact, the little terrain that comes in from the edge of the cliff is not easy to pass. But for Yu Hai, it is like walking on the ground. He helped the children through the difficult area one by one, bypassing a section of the cliff, and suddenly his eyes opened up.
