Catch the sea?

Jian Lu's pretty face was revealed from the yellow book, and her eyes were big, smart, and watery.

"Really?" Jian Lu had heard about catching the sea on the Internet before, but she hadn't been there yet, so it sounded very interesting. Wouldn't it be nice to have sea cucumbers, abalone, prawns, oysters and scallops all in the bowl!!

"Hmm." Cheng Zheng knew the old fishermen in the neighborhood and heard that there was a big tide in the past few days, and many people were gearing up to pick up some good things. Originally, he didn't have much interest, but seeing that his daughter-in-law has been bored at home recently, he still goes out for activities.

After all, everything is collective now, and no one cares about catching the sea, and what you pick up is what you earn.

"Go, go!" Jian Lu put the book in the gap of the chair and put her hands on Cheng Zheng's arms, "Then what do we have to prepare?" ”

"Bring a bucket, gloves, shovels, and rain boots..." Cheng Zheng tried to recall how the fishermen had seen the fishermen rushing to the sea. ”

There is a group event! Jian Lu was excited, her face was as bright as a flower, and she leaned over and kissed the man on the cheek, "Not bad, Captain Cheng will continue to keep it." ”

Having been molested, Captain Cheng is used to it, and now his face is no longer red, and he will even kiss him back.

After being excited, Jian Lu held the book again and began to read, Cheng Zheng found that his daughter-in-law's learning progress was really amazing, and she could read any book.

"Can you understand everything? If you encounter a word you don't recognize, you can ask me. ”

Jian Lu rolled her eyes, she really underestimated herself! "I can see that I am now at a high level and high... Well, junior high school students are about the same. ”

Forget it, you still can't be too aggressive, and the learning progress should be slowed little by little.

"Really?" Cheng Zheng stared at his daughter-in-law for a while, suspecting that this person was really a genius, "Then I'll test you." ”

"What to test?" Jian Lu took a sip of hot water, her stomach was comfortable, and she was about to accept the challenge, "You can say whatever you want." ”

So confident?

Cheng Zheng raised his sword eyebrows, thought for a while, found a clean page of paper, and then handed the pen over, "Then you write my name." ”

Cheng Zheng's Cheng is easy to be written as Chen in order to save trouble, and Zheng is even more prone to writing mistakes, such as Dunzi, a genuine elementary school student, who mentioned Cheng Zheng in a sentence last time, and wrote Uncle Chen Zheng.

I did lighten the burden on myself, didn't it.

Jian Lu was about to write when Long Feifeng finished writing, looked up at the man beside him, and smiled at him proudly, feeling that he had won, but the smile seemed to be even greater in the man's eyes.

Lowering his head, there was still one word left that had not been written Jian Lu was suddenly stunned after writing, did this person deliberately deceive himself into writing his name?

After writing the argument indiscriminately, deliberately missing a line, Jian Lu pushed the paper over, "It's done." ”

Cheng Zheng looked at it, his face darkened, this person was deliberate!

"I'll give you another chance, rewrite, write well."

Jian Lu found that this person was thinking a lot, so she had to write his name herself, so she buried her head and continued to write, this time writing Cheng Shao.

Cheng Zheng looked at this clumsy writing typo, and was a little helpless, so he turned the page over and turned it back, took the pen in Jian Lu's hand, and brushed it to write.

Jian Lu was curious for a moment, and when she leaned over to take a look, it was her own name-Jian Lu.

Cheng Zheng's words, like his people, are majestic, with some freedom and uninhibitedness.

"Look, I'll write your name."

Jian Lu couldn't deny that this person did write very well, this time, she snatched the pen in Cheng Zheng's hand and wrote two words next to Jian Lu's two words—Cheng Zheng.

Exactly, not the slightest mistake.

On the clean white paper, the names of Cheng Zheng and Jian Lu are next to each other, with different handwriting and different fonts, but they look very matched.

Four simple words, dotted on the white paper, suddenly became vivid.

Your name, my name.

——

Three days later, Cheng Zheng prepared a set of complete equipment for his daughter-in-law to catch the sea.

Five days later, Jian Lu, who was gearing up and excited about catching up with the sea, was fighting with her eyelids when she was picked up from the quilt by Cheng Zheng at 3:40 a.m.

It was still dark outside, and it was so dark that she wanted to fall into bed.

It was too early for her to get up, and she thought about it.

"You don't want to pick up those shrimp and crabs or something?" Cheng Zheng found out that his daughter-in-law had a fight with Dunzi at this point, and it was too difficult to get up early.

It is easy to give up, but it is difficult to persevere, Jian Lu did psychological construction in the quilt for a while, and finally stretched out her hand, "Pull me up~"

Chapter 40

Before dawn, Jian Lu struggled to get up, ate the breakfast she had prepared 20 minutes early, packed up everything, and went out with the others.

At this time, everyone in the family courtyard was still asleep, and there was silence all around, only Cheng Zheng carried tools and went downstairs side by side with Jian Lu.

The night was quiet and deep, Jian Lu rarely went out at this point, and when she walked on the road, she didn't expect to see the sea at four o'clock in the morning.

You know, in her previous life, she didn't want to get up early to see the sunrise when she went to climb the mountain. If it weren't for the scarcity of events in the seventies, she wouldn't have bothered to join in the fun.

"Ah~" yawned, Jian Lu was not too awake, and only felt the breeze blowing in her ears.

"Haven't woken up yet?" Cheng Zheng put on her clothes, it was still a little cold on the beach in the early morning, and both of them put on thicker coats today.

"It's coming." Jian Lu replied casually.

All the way out of the family home, there were gradually more people on the road, mainly to join in the excitement and catch the sea, all of them carrying buckets with a lot of tools in the buckets.

As soon as there were many people, Jian Lu gradually woke up, the air in the early morning was good, and taking a breath seemed to stretch the whole person. Looking at the sea in the dark night, Jian Lu couldn't help but ask, who has seen the beach at four o'clock in the morning, and now he has seen it!

The closer you get to the sea, the more obvious this feeling becomes.

As waves blow, shellfish are swept up in the tidal flats and left in place when the tide recedes.

At the edge of the tidal flat, the traces of the sea water are obvious, soaked and the mud and sand are soft, and at this point, there are already a few fishermen on the tidal flat with shovels looking around for seafood.

"So many people?" Jian Lu suddenly lifted her spirits, took Cheng Zheng's hand and hurriedly walked forward, "Quick, all the good things will be picked up in a while." ”

Cheng Zheng only felt funny when he saw his daughter-in-law who suddenly 'woke up', put the wooden barrel on the ground, took out two handcovers, and handed them over, "Now you know that you are in a hurry?" ”

Jian Lu put on her handcover, bent down and picked out the shovel in the bucket, and was eager to try, "If you don't worry, we can't go back empty-handed." ”

"Don't worry, it's not enough." Although Cheng Zheng has never participated, he is not so bad.

The two of them were half-squatting on the tidal flats, separated by a few meters in the middle, holding shovels and digging in the mud and sand, each with a bucket on each side. Jian Lu was full of interest, and after a while, she saw a white clam, a white shell, and a small one.

"Brother Cheng, look, I picked up a white clam!" Jian Lu pinched the ends of the white clam with her thumb and forefinger and raised it excitedly.

"Awesome, Lulu." Cheng Zheng looked at his daughter-in-law a few meters away, this person was wearing a blue plaid thin cotton jacket today, a red and white plaid silk scarf around his neck, his hair was combed loosely, and a few strands were hanging down to his cheeks.

With a clang, the white clam was thrown into the barrel.

After a while, white clams, large clams, sea cucumbers...

The harvest was quite fruitful, and Jian Lu was already intoxicated with it, working hard with both hands, and gradually shifted her position.

Near the sea, the shallow sea water is surging, and the slender Pipi shrimp is swimming in the water, Jian Lu took a hand cover, grabbed the Pipi shrimp, and Ma Li threw it back into the bucket.

On the other side, Cheng Zheng held a crab shaped like a shuttle, "You like to eat." ”

"Barracuda crab!" Jian Lu nodded vigorously and asked him to find more catches.

The two were busy for more than an hour, loading more than half a bucket of white clams, clams, pike crabs, and skin shrimp, and Jian Lu also found a small octopus, which was trying to go in the direction of the low tide in the sea.

Looking at that little appearance, Jian Lu let it go.

"That's a lot." Cheng Zheng carried the wooden barrel to estimate the weight, and there were seven or eight catties, "If you want to buy these, you will have to spend a few cents in the seafood station." ”

Cheng Zheng is the price that he said, but Jian Lu wanted to laugh when he heard it, the expensive seafood in later generations is really too cheap now, many of them are a few cents a catty, and those that can be sold for a dime a catty are extremely rare.

"So, Captain Cheng, you can carry a few cents, but you have to be careful."

Cheng Zheng smiled heartily, "Then my burden is heavy, will I go back?" ”

"Wait a minute." Jian Lu finally came out to participate in the rush to the sea, but she couldn't go back so quickly. There are some beautiful seashells on the tidal flats not far away, and I have been busy looking for seafood, and I have to pick up some other ones now.

At high tide, the color and texture of the shells and conches that are swept up on the tidal flats are much better than usual.

Colorful seashells swaying in the surging sea, orange polka dot pattern shells, green spiral pattern shells, white striped pattern shells, yellow ripple shells......

Jian Lu picked up a handful, and estimated that there were more than 20 of them, all of which were beautiful in color and texture.

When the fisherman's aunt next to her saw it, she leaned over to take a look, "Big girl, why are you picking this up?" Find more to eat. ”

"Auntie, I know, I've picked up a lot of food. This one, I picked it up and played with it. ”

The aunt listened and glanced at Jian Lu again, thinking that this girl was like a child, playing with shells when she was so old, "You want this?" I'll pick it up for my grandchildren there, and I'll share it with you. ”

"No, no, no." How can Jian Lu snatch shells with people's grandchildren, isn't it a joke when she says it.

Besides, is that a little bit?

The aunt was very generous, and took a handful, about twenty shells and starfish conches and threw them into Jian Lu's bucket, "Take it, our baby also loves to play." ”

Jian Lu excused herself and thanked her again and again, but looking at the back of her aunt leaving, she always felt that she had become a bear child.

Adults can play too! Especially for adults who don't have much entertainment when they come over!

"What's the use of picking up so many of these?" Anything else can be eaten, but Cheng Zheng doesn't know much about picking up shells. When the girl was gone, he asked questions.

"You don't understand!" Jian Lu felt that this man didn't have any romantic cells, "You can decorate, when the time comes, find a rope to wear in the shape of a fishing net, and hang the shells to look good." ”

Cheng Zheng really wants to ask, right?

However, seeing that his daughter-in-law's eyes were already twinkling with stars, he did not speak again, but only nodded.

The rain boots were stained with a lot of mud and sand, and the two walked back and forth on the tidal flats, already a little embarrassed at the moment, like other fishermen who were ready to pack up and go home, they went to the beach to wash their rain boots in the sea water, feeling the sea water flowing slowly, submerging their ankles, gentle and comfortable, and there were shrimp, crabs and clams floating in the water from time to time. Jian Lu suddenly felt that this was also very good, happiness was very simple, and the days were very peaceful.

Suddenly, a glimmer of light pierced the sea, sprinkling a little golden light, Jian Lu looked up suddenly, and looked in the distance, a round of red sun rose from the rippling sea, and thousands of golden rays of golden light shot everywhere like sharp arrows, tearing through the darkness.

In an instant, the sun was rising and Jian Lu and Cheng Zheng were standing on the beach, and the fishermen who were squatting on the tidal flats in search of shrimp and crabs were unconsciously looking into the distance.

"It's so beautiful." Jian Lu looked into the distance in a daze, the red sun was dazzling.

Cheng Zheng looked at his daughter-in-law beside him, the morning sun was shining, and the warm golden light climbed up the corners of Jian Lu's eyes and eyebrows, stroking her black and silky hair, outlining her beautiful face, bright and dazzling.

"It's beautiful."

Jian Lu looked at the morning sun for a while, her eyes were full of red sunlight, and she heard Cheng Zheng's invitation ringing in her ears.

"Like it? If you like, you can always watch the sun rise. Cheng Zheng rarely saw such an obsessive look on Jian Lu's face, and his eyes were full of joy.
