Zhao Dahai opened his eyes, turned his head to look at the window, it was already bright, he got up immediately, got dressed, and just walked out of the yard, he saw his grandmother Zhong Cuihua walking in with a bucket.

"Hey!"

"Grandma!"

"I'll do this when I get up!"

"It's not about an hour or two"

Zhao Dahai knew that Zhong Cuihua had gone to water the vegetable patch.

"Hehehe!"

"How can you do everything?! It's not that you can't dry it with a little water. ”

Zhong Cuihua shook her head. In the past few days, Zhao Dahai has been very busy. The seeds that have just been planted have to be watered every day, which is not a heavy job, so you can help do more if you can.

Zhao Dahai took the bucket, walked to the corner of the wall and put it down, lifted the lid of a large bucket on the ground, looked at the blue crabs dug up yesterday, there was no problem, I originally wanted to sell it today, however, the distance between the village and the town is not far, I sell more than a dozen big blue crabs at once, and the people in my own village or other villages must know what is going on.

Zhao Dahai picked up the dustpan with the mud snail and sea melon seed meat, walked out of the yard, put on the stone pile at the door, pulled the meat of the mud snail and sea melon seeds, the sea side was windy, it was only dried up last night, it was blown in the yard for a night, the meat of the mud snail is large and thick, three or four into dry, the sea melon seed meat is small, it has been five or six dry, now in the daytime, the wind is not small, plus the sun, at the end of the day, it is dry, put it away, dry it from time to time, and it can be stored for a long time.

"The sea."

"Where did you get these mud snails and sea melon seeds?"

"This meat is quite big!"

Zhao Dahai looked back and saw that it was Ma Hongyu.

"Aunt Ma."

"Where are you going?"

"Where do you work on the docks?"

"This thing is worthless, no one wants it, can it grow up? I'll get some to dry and eat when I don't have any vegetables. ”

"Where?"

"On the edge of the mangroves! There are fewer people there, and this thing is a little bigger. ”

Zhao Dahai greeted with a smile. Mud snails and sea melon seeds, especially sea melon seeds, are sold for five or six yuan a pound in the city, but in the villages by the sea, this thing is really rare, and if you want to eat in the sea, you can dig ten or twenty catties or even hundreds of catties at will, and eat until you vomit.

"Yo!"

"There are such big mud snails and sea melon seeds on the edge of the forest in Hongcun?"

"You're good at that. I dried it and stored it. When you don't want to buy vegetables one day, grab a handful, cut a radish or pick a few garlic sprouts or something and stir-fry it together. I'm going to have to get some back. ”

Ma Hongyu has been in the village for 30 years, and she really doesn't know where there are such big mud snails and sea melon seeds nearby.

"Who's to say it isn't?"

"Where do you get the money to buy meat every day!?"

Zhao Dahai nodded.

Ma Hongyu chatted for a while before turning to leave.

Zhao Dahai smiled, these aunts, aunts, aunts and six women in the village, each have their own little abacus, Ma Hongyu has been aiming at the mud snails and sea melon seeds in her dustpan just now, it is indeed not a rare thing, but when she saw that she was relatively big, she immediately inquired, maybe one day she wanted to eat and dig a place. In these places near the village, Ma Hongyu and these people are more familiar than herself, and she can't make a fuss, not mentioning the mangrove forest will arouse suspicion, this mention will be fine, but in the past few days, I have to hurry up and enter the mangrove forest, and dig more and catch a few more blue crabs before others find out, so as to save more dreams at night.

Zhao Dahai continued to carefully pull the mud snails and sea melon seeds in the dustpan to make sure that they were all turned over, so that they could be dried thoroughly, and after finishing this matter, after breakfast, he carried a bag of mud snails and sea melon seeds that were specially left last night and said to grandma, went out and walked to Zhao Shi's house, and shouted "Second Grandpa" when he stood at the gate of the yard, and heard someone push the door and walk in.

"Second grandfather."

"Second grandmother."

Zhao Dahai saw Zhao Shi and Golden Peach having breakfast.

"Ouch!"

"How did you get to the sea, you kid?!"

"Come on! Sit down. ”

"Second grandma will fill you with a bowl of porridge."

Golden Peach said as she stood up.

Zhao Dahai stopped the golden peach, he had already eaten breakfast.

"Second grandfather."

"Yesterday I went into the mangroves."

"I touched a little mud snail and sea melon seeds."

"Bring some for you."

Zhao Dahai said as he put down the mud snails and sea melon seeds he was carrying in his hands. The blue crab didn't bring it over, it's not that he was reluctant, he definitely didn't want to take it to Zhao Shi, this is something that can be sold for money, and receiving it is equivalent to taking his own money, so he must let himself take it back. Mud snails and sea melon seeds are not rare things, and they are brought to Zhao Shi to taste, so that they will not shirk.

"Oh?!"

"What are you doing digging this thing in the mangroves?! Can't sell for money. ”

Zhao Shi frowned, mud snails and sea melon seeds, they can't be sold for money, this effort is not worth it.

"I'm not going to sell it."

"Boiled, removed, and dried."

"There's a lot to eat in the bowl."

Zhao Dahai really didn't plan to sell these sea melon seeds and mud snails.

Zhao Shi's face looked a little better.

Zhao Dahai sat for a while and stood up to leave, busy with things in the field, and in addition, he had to prepare for the mangrove forest in the past two days.

"The sea seems to have changed sex. It's time to get by. ”

"Pack up the house or something."

"The vegetable patch has been dug and planted, and I almost got into a fight with Sun Minghua."

Golden Peach sent Zhao Dahai out of the courtyard, turned around, pulled a chair and sat beside Zhao Shi.

"Humph!"

"Sun Minghua occupied the land of Zhao Dahai's family. I didn't have anything to say when I was killed. ”

Zhao Shi pursed his lips. Zhao Dahai did a good job. Life in the village is not so simple, those who should fight must be fought for, their own things can't be kept, and the whole village looks down on them.

"Crab fishing and fish selling the other day."

"Earned some money. There is no indiscriminate spending, they are all buying rice oil or something. The old sister-in-law said that she would buy her red date cakes. It's so sensible! ”

"Hey!"

"My old sister-in-law can relax now, and she will be blinded when she dies."

Golden Peach wiped the corners of her eyes. Zhao Shi and Zhao Dahai's grandfather are brothers and have split up their families, but their blood is thicker than water. Two years ago, Zhao Dahai's father and mother went out to sea to fish, and there were only Zhao Dahai and Zhong Cuihua left in the house. Now it seems that everything is in the past. Zhao Dahai has cleaned up the house in the past few days, planted the land and fished for goby fish to sell for money. Now I know how to go into the mangrove forest, dig mud snails and, dried sea melon seeds as vegetables to eat. It's a down-to-earth life.

Zhao Shi picked up the hookah at the root of the wall, felt the tobacco in the bag, rubbed a small ball of stuffed cigarette holders, lit it, and took several puffs, his face tightened.

The golden peach knew that something must be wrong at first glance.

"The sea is thinking about fixing that ship."

Zhao Shi spat out a thick smoke.

"Huh?"

"What about this?"

"I have to talk to my sister-in-law!"

Golden Peach exclaimed and immediately stood up.

"What for?"

"I told you that. The old sister-in-law nodded in agreement. ”

Zhao Shi shook his head.

"It's dangerous to go to sea."

……

"What does this baby of the sea do have to fish? Why don't you find something else to do? ”

……

"Dadong and Xiaodong, aren't they doing a good job in the electron stone? That's 4,000 yuan a month! Hard work is hard, but it's safe to stay in the factory! ”

"Why don't you let the baby of the sea follow Dadong and Xiaodong to work?"

……

Golden Peach sat down slowly, her mouth trembling, and she kept nagging.

Zhao Shi's face was even more ugly, he was the idea, but Zhao Dahai was not happy, Zhong Cuihua nodded again, the key is that Zhao Dahai is right, Zhong Cuihua is old, there can't be no one around, and life has to be lived, so what else can make money except going out to sea to fish?
