When Li Xiaofeng arrived home, Liu Xuexia had already prepared the meal, and she was waiting for him to come back and start the meal.

During this time, his father Li Yonglin was helping people work on fish steaks.

Since the fish raft is far from the shore, you need to drive a boat to it, and you have to burn oil back and forth.

Therefore, the owner of the fish steak will take care of a lunch, and Li Yonglin usually does not come back to eat at noon.

At noon, only the mother and son had a meal, four dishes and one soup, which was very hearty.

A pot of steamed hot blue crabs, the fresh fragrance of seafood comes from the noodles;

A plate of snail meat stir-fried with millet peppers grown in his own vegetable field, spicy and appetizing;

A plate of browned green fish fried in vegetable oil on both sides, burnt and fragrant;

A plate of tomatoes picked from his own vegetable field, mixed with sugar, sweet and sour;

In addition, there is a pot of soup that they Jiangzhou people will never be indispensable, which is made from wild dried abalone dried at home and wild vegetables.

Liu Xuexia brought Li Xiaofeng a small plate of home-made hoisin sauce.

Tear off the shell of the crab that has been steamed red, dip it in some secret sauce made at home, and chew the fragrant crab roe in your mouth, which is comfortable!

Li Xiaofeng hadn't eaten such a delicious meal for a long time, and said to Liu Xuexia with a smile: "Mom, the seafood you make is delicious, much better than the restaurant outside!" ”

Liu Xuexia smiled and said, "You, you will make me happy." How can my skills compare to those of other restaurant chefs? It's delicious, so you can eat more. ”

After eating a meal, Li Xiaofeng's stomach bulged slightly.

It's still fragrant food at home!

It's not easy to eat such fresh seafood outside.

However, Li Xiaofeng also knew that Liu Xuexia and Li Yonglin were at home, but they were absolutely reluctant to eat like this, that is, he only had this food when he came back.

After eating, Liu Xuexia took the tools and prepared to go out to catch the sea.

It's a closed season, and fishermen can't go out to sea.

Although Li Xiaofeng also wanted to follow, Liu Xuexia just disagreed, thinking that his injuries had not healed.

In the end, Li Xiaofeng had no choice but to compromise.

Lying on the recliner in the courtyard of his house, looking at the blue sky in the distance, the white clouds, and smelling the fresh and somewhat fishy air, Li Xiaofeng felt that his depressed mood for a period of time was much better.

Li Xiaofeng's house consists of three main rooms, a side room, a kitchen, and a long courtyard.

At the entrance of the courtyard is a cement road built in the village.

There is also a large vegetable garden in the yard, where some common vegetables are planted, such as peppers, eggplants, tomatoes, cucumbers, shallots, etc., and a pepper tree is planted near the wall.

The other half of the yard is planted with a few lychee and loquat trees, which were the favorites of Li Xiaofeng's three siblings when he was a child.

It's a pity that the house has been built for fifteen or sixteen years, and it already looks a little lonely and old.

Especially now that many families in the village have built 2-storey and 3-storey small western-style buildings, their houses are even more lonely in this group of buildings!

Li Xiaofeng was recuperating on the recliner while thinking about how to go in the future.

In fact, Li Xiaofeng's return this time was also carefully considered.

He was going to use the detector to try to see if he could find the fish under the surface of the sea, which was the only way Li Xiaofeng could think of using it for the time being.

If it can be used to detect fish, it depends on whether he can make a little more money this fishing season, and then add the money in his hand, pay a down payment, and take out a loan to buy a larger distant-water fishing boat.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Xuexia came back with a bucket.

In the bucket were just a few pounds of worthless clams, razor clams, and a few small stone crabs and the like.

The total value should be more than 40 yuan.

This is still the harvest that Liu Xuexia has as an experienced seafarer who has lived by the sea for decades.

In fact, this is the normal state of catching the sea at the beach now, and now you can't catch any fish when you go to sea, let alone catch the sea at the beach.

Sometimes I see some videos of catching the sea on the Internet, looking at the anchor with a big crab on the left and a big fish on the right, Li Xiaofeng can't help but scoff, which can also fool those who have not lived by the sea.

Of course, catching the sea depends on both experience and luck.

If you are indeed lucky, it is possible to gain a lot at once, but this is only an occasional occurrence, not the norm.

More people who really catch the sea do not gain much every time, and they can get money for oil, salt, sauce and vinegar at home.

Moreover, the sea is also limited by the weather, typhoons, high tides, and heavy rain are not able to go out to catch the sea.

When it was almost dark, Li Yonglin came back exhausted.

Speaking of which, Li Xiaofeng hasn't seen his father for about half a year, and the last time the two met was when they came back for the Chinese New Year.

Compared with the Chinese New Year, the burden of life makes Li Yonglin seem to be a little older.

Working on fish steaks is not an easy job, not to mention the wind and sun, a box of abalone is dozens of catties, and I don't know how many boxes to move a day.

Since there was not much harvest from rushing to the sea today, Liu Xuexia simply didn't sell it, and made it into dishes on the table at night.

The three of them gathered around the hot meal on the table, chatting warmly while eating.

Li Xiaofeng knew that there were usually only two parents at home at home, and they were lonely.

Although Li Xiaofeng is a brother and sister, they are not around.

My sister Li Xiaomei is married and works as a teacher in a primary school in Jiangzhou City, and she usually only has time to come back during the winter and summer vacations;

I used to work in Mingyang City, thousands of miles away from home, and it was rare to come back twice a year;

His younger brother Li Xiaoqiang is also working hard in Dongzhou City, the provincial capital, and the number of times he comes back every year is limited to him.

Looking at other people's children and grandchildren, it's no wonder that two people are not lonely!

When he was a child, because Li Xiaofeng's health was not good, he had the best grades among the three children, and his mouth was sweeter, so Li Xiaofeng was most favored by Liu Xuexia since he was a child.

At that time, Li Xiaomei and Li Xiaoqiang complained about their mother's partiality in private, of course, the two of them would never dare to say it in person.

By the way, in Li Xiaofeng's house, Liu Xuexia is in charge!

Liu Xuexia has been a very strong person all her life.

In the past, the three children in the family were studying, and the conditions were very difficult, and many people persuaded her that Li Xiaomei was a girl, and she would be someone else's family in the future, so she didn't need to read so many books.

But Liu Xuexia gritted her teeth, and Li Yonglin and Li Yonglin desperately went to sea to fish, and gave up their three children.

At that time, it was too difficult for a fisherman's family to send their three children to college!

High tuition, accommodation, and living expenses for three people per year......

And at that time in their village, the style of study was not very good.

Children from many families leave school after junior high school, so they come out early to earn money for their families.

At dinner in the evening, because their son came home, Li Yonglin and Liu Xuexia, who were in good spirits, also drank a few glasses of liquor.

Many fishermen on the beach, both men and women, have the habit of drinking a few glasses of liquor when they are not busy.

This is mainly because the environment in which they work and live is humid, and the liquor has the effect of promoting blood and night circulation.
