The sun was hanging high, and the little tiger woke up in a daze, and the little head looked around - and found that it was already upstairs with his grandparents!

He blinked in disbelief, then jumped out of bed, ran out of the room, but quickly slipped back, took the thick cotton coat and put it on, fastened the big buttons, put on the small cloth shoes, and ran downstairs.

"Grandma! Grandmother! The little one shouted.

Liu Peiyun, who was sweeping the door, listened, hurriedly put the broom aside, and greeted him with a smile.

"Huzi, wake up? Did you go to bed late last night? I woke up more than half an hour later than usual today! ”

The little guy shook his head: "Go to bed at nine o'clock as usual." Grandma, where are my mom and dad? ”

Liu Peiyun squatted down and re-fastened the big button he hadn't buttoned.

"Your mother and your grandfather have gone to the sea. Then your dad drove back to town, as if he was going to find some gas. ”

Xiaohuzi was surprised and asked, "Mom also goes to the sea?" ”

"Yes." Liu Peiyun smiled: "I'm going to catch a big crab for you." ”

One sentence made the little guy cheer and applaud: "Great! I've got big crabs again! Ha ha! Big crabs! ”

Liu Peiyun took the little guy to brush his teeth and wash his face, and led him outside the kitchen.

"You wait, I'll bring you breakfast."

The little tiger nodded obediently, and the little head looked around curiously.

Today's sea breeze is very strong, and the fishing nets drying on the bamboo poles are shaking. Auntie was sorting out some purple things not far away, flipping and bunching, and I didn't know what she was doing.

"Grandma, Auntie didn't make kelp—what is it?"

Liu Peiyun replied absentmindedly: "It's the vines cut down from the mountain, which are tidying up." Come on, let's eat! Serve hot! ”

Xiaohuzi's stomach was already hungry, so he buried his head and waved a small spoon to eat.

At this time, Liu Peiyun seemed to see something and hurriedly greeted him.

I saw several daughters-in-law carrying a big bucket on their backs, sweating profusely, and walking in the direction of home with difficulty, and the buckets on their backs seemed to be heavy.

Liu Peiyun didn't know who to help for a while, so she asked, "What's in it?" Are there really so many blue crabs? ”

Several daughters-in-law were busy greeting the old man, smiling from ear to ear.

"Ouch! Mother! You haven't seen it with your own eyes! Those of us who saw it with our own eyes couldn't believe it! ”

"That's it! That island is full of blue crabs! It's called a big one! I've been following my dad to the sea for so many years, and it's the first time I've seen so many blue crabs! One thief is bigger! ”

"Daxing said that there didn't seem to be so much yesterday, but today there are more and more, maybe it has something to do with the sister-in-law throwing something called 'crab feed'!"

"Mom! Look, look! It's full of it! It's only twenty or thirty, and it's too heavy! There must be at least 100 pounds! ”

Liu Peiyun listened in disbelief, "Oh? Oh oh? "Shaking my head and looking dizzying.

"That...... Why are you guys? What about them? Where's your father-in-law? ”

The eldest daughter-in-law replied, "Dad will drive us back first, and let us come and tie the crabs first." He's going back right away, and a little later will definitely be a full boat! ”

Liu Peiyun was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly pointed in the direction of home.

"Quick! Fast...... Let's go back and tie it up! ”

More than half an hour later, Chen Xingling and the fourth brother and the fifth brother came back.

"Dad's boat just arrived, so we'll get on board right away! Look at! It's four barrels again! We're going to get the plastic bucket back, and we'll have to ship it back later! Sister-in-law, after you tie up, take the empty bucket and wait at the small pier. Dad is going to send it over again, you remember to go over and pick it up. ”

"Hey!" While the sister-in-law was busy, she promised: "Don't worry, it will be done here in about half an hour." We'll take turns waiting for Dad at the docks! ”

Liu Peiyun poured a few bowls of water and greeted: "Quick!" Drink all water! ”

Chen Xingling didn't care about drinking water, and asked, "Mom, where is the little tiger?" ”

Liu Peiyun explained: "He and Sanqiang ran to play dice, just on the other side of the big banyan tree. Don't talk and drink water. ”

The three of them drank the water and hurriedly set off again.

Then, almost every half hour, several buckets of crabs were delivered to the shore.

Liu Peiyun went to help with the back from time to time, and several daughters-in-law and Zhao Xiaoxing helped tie the vines.

Zhao Xiaoxing was originally very afraid of crabs, but her sisters-in-law taught her several times before she finally learned how to avoid the crab's big pincers, and quickly wrapped the vine around a few times, and tied the crab strongly.

At noon, Chen Xingling and her old father came back, her hair was messy and tired, her old father worked all year round, and he was already accustomed to high-intensity labor, and he looked almost the same as usual.

Liu Peiyun had already cooked the noodles and cut a chicken.

"Mari is going to lunch! How many men? ”

Chen Xingling replied: "They are still busy, let's send one more boat over and bring some over to cushion their stomachs." ”

Liu Peiyun saw that her daughter was covered in mud, and she couldn't care about being distressed.

"You Mali eat first, and go back as soon as you're done."

Chen Xingling picked up the big bowl and couldn't help but look around.

Liu Peiyun said: "Your sisters-in-law have all gone into the house to eat, and Xiaoxing took the tiger to eat at your sister-in-law's house." ”

Chen Xingling frowned slightly and asked, "Mom, hasn't Archie come back yet?" ”

He ...... Nope! Liu Peiyun shook his head: "Since I sent you here in the morning, he drove back to the city, and then I didn't see him again." ”

Chen Xingling was secretly worried when he heard this.

It's not like you can't find gas, right?

Don't! Such a beautiful and sturdy blue crab has been rare for decades, and if it is only transported into the city to be sold, the price is at most half of the price in the provincial capital, or even only one-third.

Thinking of Gu Qi's conclusive assurances last night, she calmed down a little.

Archie has always been a man who does what he says, and he must have found a way to go, otherwise he wouldn't have come here at noon.

"It's past twelve." Liu Peiyun couldn't help but remind: "The tide may rise at three or four o'clock in the afternoon." The waves over there are very fast, old man, you should take it easy. ”

Chen Sanshui nodded lightly, picked up the big bowl and ate it with his head down.

"the kid, do you still have meat? The children had a hard time walking around in the mud, and they couldn't do without some meat. You have to eat more meat to have the energy to work. ”

Liu Peiyun was extremely embarrassed, and Zhiwu: "I killed a chicken during the New Year...... It's all here. ”

Chen Sanshui asked again: "Then are there any eggs?" ”

Liu Peiyun thought for a while and replied, "About a dozen." ”

Chen Sanshui's chin raised slightly: "Go to my daughter-in-law's side to have a look, find more than a dozen or so, and cook them together and bring them over." ”

Liu Peiyun was just about to leave - she was pulled by her daughter.

"I brought beef jerky and roast duck." Chen Xingling hurriedly said: "Mom, just put the hot water in the thermos flask, and I'll go and take the meat out when I'm full." ”

Liu Peiyun Fox asked: "You brought meat?" Where? ”

"Upstairs." Chen Xingling replied in a daze.

Liu Peiyun said: "The boiling water is cooling, I'll go downstairs and take it down." Where are you? ”

"I'll just go!" Chen Xingling said: "You have bad legs and feet, you can walk less, just walk less." ”

Liu Peiyun glared at her daughter amusefully and asked, "Just a few steps away?" Don't I climb up and down every day? It's been good. ”

Chen Xingling buried his head in the rice and pretended not to hear.

After a few moments, she put down the dishes and chopsticks, went upstairs and hid in the corner.

Next, she quickly took out a roast duck and a few pieces of beef jerky from the supermarket space, and took the foam box she had prepared last night downstairs.

Liu Peiyun was dumbfounded: "Ling Ling, what are these white boxes?" It's like someone sells popsicle boxes - where did you get them? ”

"Don't ask! Buy it from the popsicle seller! Chen Xingling stuffed all the meat to her and said, "Cut it smaller!" Mari go! ”

Liu Peiyun hurriedly went to the kitchen with the meat in his arms.

Chen Xingling went to the sisters-in-law with a foam box and asked them to put the tied crabs into the box, classify the size into separate categories, and write how many of them were written outside.

"Yin Mo, you are responsible for writing with a pen! Write bigger, bigger the better! ”

Xiaohuzi blinked curiously and nodded hurriedly.

Zhao Xiaoxing asked suspiciously: "Sister-in-law, where did you come from?" Crabs in such a clean white box will easily get dirty. ”

"If it's dirty, it's dirty." Chen Xingling said: "If you don't worry, it won't cost much." These boxes can have a freshness effect, and they are not afraid of too many crabs squeezing each other or something, in case they are crushed on the road, it will be too cost-effective. Sisters-in-law, remember to put them neatly one by one, so that you can put more. ”

"Oooh! Listen to you! ”

"Good!"
