Su Xusheng's aunt Wang Qiongzhen married into Sujia Village, Su Qinggui and Su Jinshun are cousins in the same ancestral hall, so Su Manjin called Wang Qiongzhen her aunt.

There are 2 families between the two houses.

When Su Manjin passed, Wang Qiongzhen was drying sweet potato slices in the yard.

Su Xusheng lowered his head and placed the sliced sweet potato slices one by one, which made it easier to dry.

He helped his grandmother and mother a lot at home.

In the past year, my mother followed my father to work as a porter on the docks, and rarely went home.

Grandma does all the work in the fields. But my grandmother is in her 60s, so he often does what he can.

Peanut seeds are sown in the spring.

In summer, peanuts are plucked from the ground, peanuts are picked home, peanuts are picked, peanuts are dried, and peanuts are burned.

In winter, go to the field to dig sweet potatoes, go home to peel sweet potato skin, cut sweet potato slices, dry sweet potatoes, and sweet potato powder.

Su Xusheng has basically done farm work all year round.

"Good afternoon, Auntie, I'm here to play with Su Xusheng."

Su Manjin said hello to Su Xusheng's aunt and beckoned to Su Xusheng with a smile.

When the boy looked up and saw her, there seemed to be stars twinkling in his eyes.

"Su Xusheng, look at what good things I brought you! My grandfather caught a crab, but it's fat, you can taste it. ”

Su Manjin handed the boy two and peeled one himself.

The two sat side by side under the porch and ate with relish.

There really aren't many comforting things in this world. The afternoon sun is just the right amount of warmth. The sweet smile of the girl next to her is also a kind of thing.

Many years later, Su Xusheng was alone, far from home. In countless difficult and lonely days. He couldn't help but think back to this day over and over again.

"Su, Su Xiaoman, I'll call you like this in the future!" The boy whispered.

The girl raised her bright little face, listened attentively, and then smiled and responded: "That...... Su Xiaosheng, on weekends in the future, let's all go to the beach together? ”

"Okay."

————

Three and a half in the afternoon.

The Su family's sea-catching team of four people, plus Su Xusheng, a supernumerary member, walked to the beach with various tools and full of expectations.

The tide is just starting to recede. Half of the reef, more than 50 meters near the seawall, has been exposed.

Su Jinshun and his wife and Su Yumei immediately started to work, catching crabs, picking up conches, digging clams, and being very busy.

Su Xusheng did not go in the direction of the reef. He looked around, and finally drew an area on the side of the shallow river that naturally formed on the beach, picked up a shovel and dug it up.

He dug a big hole, threw away his shovel, and squatted down and gouged with his bare hands. After fumbling for a while, he seemed to grasp something, and he tugged hard, pulling out a long strip of about twenty centimeters.

"Su Xiaoman, look!"

Su Manjin was holding a tongs and fighting against a big blue crab under the reef.

Hearing Su Xusheng's voice, she turned her head sideways: "Su Xiaosheng, come and help me." This blue crab is going to run away. ”

Su Xusheng took two steps in three steps, approached Su Manjin, and reached out to hold down the back of the blue crab.

Su Manjin was about to tell him to be careful.

He had flipped his wrist and pressed his thumb to the navel of the blue crab, and picked it up delicately.

The big blue crab waved its claws like pincers, but it couldn't catch his fingers.

Su Manjin: Yo, the technique is quite skillful.

In the last life, Su Xusheng's skills in frying crabs were unique, but he didn't expect that catching crabs was also a good hand.

Su Manjin exclaimed: "Su Xiaosheng, you know how to catch crabs now!" That's amazing! ”

Looking at the girl's sparkling eyes, the corners of Su Xusheng's lips curled.

He put the blue crab into Su Manjin's bucket, and then stretched out his left hand in front of Su Manjin and spread it out.

A large bamboo clam nearly 20 centimeters long.

"Clam King !!"

The girl shouted coquettishly.

"Su Xiaosheng, where did this come from? Did you know that this is worth a lot of money? The girl's sparkling eyes were dyed with excitement.

Su Xusheng smiled and pointed in the direction of digging clams just now.

Su Manjin saw the dug sand pile and the shovel thrown aside.

Pulling Su Xusheng and running over there.

Looking at the girl's pale little hands holding hers, the skin of the two was black and white, which was particularly conspicuous. Su Xusheng's ears turned red.

"No wonder you had to bring a shovel and salt just now, you were going to dig razor clams!" The girl's voice pulled Su Xusheng's thoughts back.

"Let's look for it again, there should still be razor clams in this piece." Su Xusheng lowered his head to look for it.

Su Manjin: ......

Twenty centimeters, razor clams?

Well, you can dig it, you're awesome. What you say is what it is.

In the last life, Su Manjin's family planted oysters for two years except for her grandparents, and from the time she went to elementary school to adulthood, the family never did the work of plowing the sea or catching the sea.

Her most vivid impression of the sea is: a walk by the sea, the scenery is beautiful.

And, many of her and Su Xusheng's romantic and beautiful memories are by the sea.

As for how to find seafood at the beach, she was confused. Even growing up by the sea, she was still a landlubber at the age of 35.

- It's not like Su Xusheng who has a father who threw him into the sea to teach him to swim.

- It's not like some girls who have a boyfriend who throws her into the pool and learns to hold her breath.

After the two fell in love, Su Xusheng taught her personally for two summers, and she couldn't learn it.

- She just likes to lie on the lifebuoy and pull the water to swing, as she says: relax.

The only action Su Manjin has ever done to catch the sea is to dig clams with his mother-in-law, and by the way, he theoretically learned the method of digging clams.

Why Theoretical Learning?

Because at that time, my mother-in-law dug one accurately, but she didn't dig it.

Ahem, it may also be that more than twenty years later, on the beach, too many people dig up clams, and they are all dug up by others :)

"Su Xiaoman, why are you in a daze!" Su Xusheng shouted at her to come back to her senses.

"Su Xiaosheng, how is it, how is it, can you still find the Clam King?" Su Manjin hurriedly asked.

Su Xusheng pointed to the two "eyes" at his feet, "Look, these two eyes are the movable channels carved out by razor clams." ”

"This eye is bubbling, maybe the razor is breathing, let's give it some salt," he said, pouring some salt into the little hole.

"Flutter", a slender bamboo clam exposed half of its body, and was gently pulled out by Su Xusheng. Another king of clams has arrived.

Su Manjin: ......

So, easy?

Su Xusheng looked for it again and poured salt. This time, there was no appearance of the Clam King. A long and powerful column of water came out of the hole and splashed Su Xusheng.

He wiped his face, and immediately took the shovel and dug it down from the place where he had marked. He dug a big hole, then squatted down, put his hands in the sand and probed under the small hole that had just nourished the water, groped for a moment and dragged it out. He pulled out a long razor clam.

Su Manjin: I'm convinced.

More than an hour after that.

Su Xusheng held a shovel to find the "eyes" of razor clams, and Manjin carried a bucket and a bottle of salt and followed him. After Su Xusheng found the "eye", Su Manjin was responsible for feeding the salt, and Su Xusheng was responsible for a series of follow-up actions.

As more and more razor clams are found, Su Xusheng's image in Su Manjin's heart is getting taller and taller :)

Su Manjin held back his inner OS:

Want, fa, big, wealth, it!
