Chapter 18 The Envied Ao Jing

Hai Laoqi is among the locals, and he can be regarded as a daughter-in-law.

After he finished packing up the seafood, he took over his daughter-in-law's work and asked her to rest beside her.

"My daughter-in-law has been in poor health since she gave birth to the fifth child, and she has been especially uncomfortable in the past two years."

"Brother Hai didn't take his sister-in-law to the hospital to have a look?"

"I went, but the doctor didn't say anything, so I let me go home and raise it."

The water vapor in the pot rose, and the face of the old man could not see the expression clearly.

Ao Jing subconsciously glanced at his daughter-in-law again, and a thought popped up in his heart, and he was out of control.

"When will I accompany my sister-in-law to the hospital when I am free?"

She tried to say a word, but sure enough, she was politely rejected by Hai Laoyu.

Ao Hai felt that the atmosphere was not quite right, and hurriedly interrupted, "Hai Laoqi, don't hide the good things, I have heard that you have a very good harvest from going to sea this time." It just so happens that my sister is from the mainland, let her taste the taste of our sea? ”

"You old Ao is waiting here. Okay, since it's our eldest sister who wants to eat, then I'll give you a piece. ”

Hai Laoqi said in the local dialect, probably asking his second daughter to get a yellow croaker out.

At this time, the big yellow croaker is not too rare, but the big yellow croaker taken out by Hai Laoqi is not small, and it can be regarded as a fine product among the wild yellow croaker.

"It's a nice thing." Ao Hai took it and took a look, and directly stuffed money into his pocket to Hai Laoyu.

If it were an ordinary yellow croaker, he would not be polite, and at most he would exchange it for canned food and other supplies.

But this big yellow croaker is rarely caught by ordinary fishermen, and it is taken to the market, and there is no market. Of course, the price of no market today is completely different from that of 20 years from now.

"You look down on me, don't you?" Hai Laoqi's eyes widened, and his dark and thin face looked quite scary, "I said that it was for the eldest sister, if you stuff the money for me, then I won't give it to you." ”

"This thing is so good, Brother Hai, I don't dare to eat it if you don't charge money."

"What don't you dare to eat?" Hai Lao Qi smiled, "Although this fish is rare, it is not rare, I used to go to sea with my father, I caught a yellow croaker bigger than this, so it is good." You guys, still inland boys, haven't seen our treasures in the sea. ”

Ao Jing was still waiting to continue to persuade Hai Laoyu to collect the money, and her brother happily put the money into his purse.

"So, if you don't want the money, I'll find a way to get you something. Your daughter-in-law's body has to be replenished, and you have many children, so I'll get you some chicken seedlings, as well as rice and corn ballast, and you tell your eldest and second child to get some vegetables and chop them after school, mix and feed them, and let them out to find food by themselves when they grow up. Laying eggs can also give children some nutrients. ”

Rice and corn ballast are things that are difficult to buy even if you have money, so Ao Hai is in charge of logistics, and there is a way to get it.

There are few chickens, ducks and geese on the beach, let alone pigs, cattle and sheep. Even Ao Hai and their units rarely eat fresh pork, and it is like the Chinese New Year to have frozen meat sent over, and most of the time they rely on canned pork to cook.

"Don't do it, there are many typhoons on our side every year, and if you raise chickens, you may be blown away by the wind one day."

Some people in their village have raised them, but unfortunately they couldn't even find a few hairs after the typhoon, and they were either drowned or smashed to the reef and smashed to pieces.

"We have scrapped materials in the logistics area, I'll buy some and get a chicken coop for your family, you can lock the door when there is a typhoon, as long as the house can't blow down, the chicken coop won't fall apart."

Hai Laoqi looked at his daughter-in-law and the children next to him with bright eyes, hesitated, and agreed.

He felt that a fish was not worth what Ao Hai promised him, and asked his second child to go to the warehouse and bring out a bag of kelp.

"This is my daughter-in-law and my daughter-in-law, you can take it and eat it."

This thing is really not very valuable, and Ao Jing has also received it happily.

After a meal at Hai Lao's house, he played for a few hours, and when the seafood was loaded into the car, Ao Hai took his sister and three children to go up.

From the place where you stand, the sampan in the bay rises and falls with the waves, and the whole picture highlights a poor character.

Ao Jing pursed her lips and thought for a while, then turned her head to look at her brother, "Brother, I forgot to tell my sister-in-law something, you wait for me." ”

Ao Hai didn't have time to speak, and his sister ran away.

The daughter-in-law of Hai Lao, who was sitting at the door of the house mending fishing nets, saw Ao Jing running back, thinking that she had taken her things off, so she stood up and asked her what she hadn't brought.

"No, I just forgot to say a word to Brother Hai."

"What's that?" The old man who was in the house pushed the door and came out, still holding the tools to mend the boat in his hand.

"As for your big yellow croaker, you go to the restaurant in the city and ask. When I came here before, I was reversing in the city, and I heard from them that there were a few new restaurants opened there, which were dedicated to receiving foreign guests, and they were just like that. The big yellow croaker can't be sold at a high price in our local area, but those hotels and guesthouses are difficult to say, if you hit the right way, you can sell several times more than the price of the local market. ”

Hai Laoqi's eyes flashed, and he nodded and smiled at Ao Jing, "Thank you, I'll inquire tomorrow." ”

Ao Jing was not stupid, looking at Hai Laoqi's expression, he knew that he must have thought of it a long time ago, so he stuck out his tongue, smiled at him, and turned around and ran back.

The daughter-in-law sat down along the door frame, bowed her head and continued to mend the nets.

"Cao'er, you pack your things tonight, and go into the city with me tomorrow, and let's change the doctor again."

"No need." His daughter-in-law shook her head, "My illness can't be cured, so don't waste this money." Let's stay and buy something for a few kids. ”

The boss who was mending the nets with her suddenly screamed in pain, and blood was poked out of his fingers.

"Go, by the way, bring the boss with you, in a few years she should also see others, and learn some things as soon as possible."

When the mother and daughter heard his words, they made a move and did not say a word.

After seeing her father enter the house, Hai Lao's eldest daughter whispered to her mother that she didn't want to get married so early, and she wanted to go fishing with her.

"What kind of stupid thing to say, going out to sea to fish is a man's business, where do you have so much ability as a girl, do you think fishing is an easy job?"

Hai Lao's daughter-in-law touched her eldest daughter's head and sighed: "If you are lucky, you can see a man in your Uncle Ao's unit, and you can enjoy some happiness in the future." ”

"I don't want to." Hai Lao's eldest daughter turned her head and pouted, "Just Luo Xiao. Mom, what's wrong with his father, it's not that he is disliked by his in-laws, and he has not been recognized by his in-laws until he dies all his life. They mainlanders don't look down on us fishermen at all. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about, you look at the brothers and sisters of the Ao family, where do people look down on us?"

Hai Lao's daughter-in-law looked at her daughter with pity, "It's a pity that you can't go to school to study, if you can read and write, maybe you can be like Ao Jing, go to the unit to find a job, get a salary to eat, isn't it better than begging for a living by the sea." ”

Ao Jing, who is envied by them, is counting today's harvest with Weiwei, and she doesn't know that after she goes back, a good show is waiting for her.
