The table had just been empty, and before it had time to clean up the mess, it was full again, and some people also bought food at the side, waiting for the crab butter fried noodles on the iron plate while eating.

The passage of night could not be perceived on the lively long street, Haizhu found that it had been a long time when she found the bottom when she was scooping powder, she fried the last plate, and said to the people who came after: "The ingredients are gone, and the stall is about to be closed." ”

The drunken people in the tavern came out drunk, pulling their pants to pee in the dark alley, and before they could take a few steps, they were thrown out by the men in the tavern and walked away.

Haizhu glanced at it, shoveled two plates of fried noodles and served them to the table, she stretched and asked the others in the room if they wanted to eat the heavy sizzling squid.

Those who drink are interested in tasting it, and those who don't drink shake their heads.

Haizhu walked to the bucket and fished out the half-dead octopus and squid, and the eating teeth had been deducted by Dongzhu, and she spread them directly on the iron plate.

"I'll light the fire, you go and see if there is anything you want to eat, buy some if you want to eat." She followed Feng Ping and said, "Dongzhu will go too." ”

As soon as the two little ones left, Shen Sui came over, and Haizhu glanced at him, "You haven't gone back to sleep yet?" ”

"What time is it going to bed?" Shen Sui looked up at the sky, "You are busy and stupid, it has been less than an hour since you set up your stall." ”

An hour is two hours, that is to say, it is not yet nine o'clock. Haizhu felt that she was busy and confused, and she was really busy in the middle of the night with her little things.

"I invite you to eat sizzling squid, you invite me to drink, go and make two bowls of rice wine." Haizhu said.

Shen Sui just sat down and got up again, and after a while, he came over with a wine jug and three wine bowls, saying that the little old man who opened the tavern was so happy that his mouth was about to crack, "You set up a night stall to do good deeds for others." ”

"Yo Yo Yo, these words can actually come out of your mouth, Little Sixth Master, don't you love to be good people?" Haizhu was surprised.

Shen Sui was also stunned, and reacted and said, "I'm holding you upset." ”

"Excuse me, no grievances, where have you ever seen a restaurant with only one restaurant?" Haizhu picked up the fried green onion pepper sauce and brushed it on the octopus and squid, she took a breath and said, "It's so fragrant." ”

Don't talk about her, all the stalls around looked over and smelled the oil smoke all night, this smell is really refreshing.

Dongzhu and Fengping came back, their hands were empty, Dongzhu threw the copper plate into the cash box and said, "It's not as delicious as ours." ”

"Clean up the table, it's time for us to eat." Haizhu sent a few portions to the diners, and the remaining three octopus, two squid, and three conchs were filled with a plate.

Fengping only took one bite and immediately put down his chopsticks.

Haizhu chewed the squid leg and glanced at him, this is not numb, let alone spicy, she held the wine bowl and handed it to his mouth, "Rice wine, take a sip." ”

"This taste is strong enough with wine, tomorrow, no, I'll get this flavor for me when I come back the day after tomorrow." Shen Sui couldn't stop eating.

Several men at the other table also leaned over and said to Haizhu, "What does this smell like?" It's long overdue. ”

"Green onion pepper oil."

"I'll make it for us tomorrow night."

"I won't set up a stall tomorrow night, I'll come the night after tomorrow." Haizhu saw Fengping pick up chopsticks and coerce the octopus leg again, she patted him, "Tricking wine?" ”

"I want to take another bite."

The taste is a bit heavy, and when the numbness goes down, the squid chews between the mouths, and the juice locked in the oil bursts out and washes the sauce on the lips and tongue, and the two flavors are really enjoyable mixed together.

Chapter 57: The Living Continue to Live

"Haizhu, are you going to the sea this afternoon?" Erwang asked.

Dark clouds covered the daylight, and the sky was gloomy, Haizhu shook his head and said, "The water has cooled down in the past few days, the sea is cold, and it will be sunny and the sea will go down to sea." ”

The weather on the beach was unpredictable, and the night when I was selling fried noodles was still hot, and after a night the sea breeze suddenly changed direction, and it rained in the morning, and it was cold again.

Now there is no shortage of silver in hand, Haizhu doesn't want to waste her body, she hasn't been out to sea for four days, and she has set up a morning stall in the morning when it doesn't rain, and the night stall is temporarily closed.

"Dongzhu, come and play together." The girl jumping rope in the yard shouted.

"Come back tomorrow, I have something to do today."

"Where are you going?" Xiao Hainiang asked Haizhu, the three sisters and brothers were neatly dressed, not like they were working.

"Go see my mother and my little brother, and go over to play." Haizhu said.

She led Dongzhu and Fengping to the street to buy things, to buy two hens, to carry baskets of eggs, when passing by the dock saw a merchant ship docking, she looked at it curiously, it was actually carrying fruits. Haizhu asked Dongzhu and Fengping to look at the two chickens, she strode over with the silver, She didn't know a lot of fruits, and she didn't pick and choose, she bought three or five catties of everything, "What is this?" What about this? Is this delicious? ”

"Papaya, jujube, sugar cane, star fruit."

Haizhu carried fruits in a straw pocket and sugar cane in his armpits, and got off the boat with difficulty. In a blink of an eye, she saw Qi Laosan coming back from the boat, and she called him over, "Third uncle, I'm going to Hongshi Village, I'll take half of this thing away, and you can take the remaining half back." ”

"How do you buy so much? I can't finish eating it and it's rotten. ”

"There are so many people in the family, how can you not finish eating." Haizhu took a green jujube and wiped it on his sleeve, threw it into his mouth, carried the straw and carried the sugar cane to find Dongzhu and Fengping.

Fengping dragged two sugar canes, Dongzhu carried heavy papaya and green dates, and star fruit was placed in the egg basket and carried by Haizhu. The three of them walked into Hongshi Village and attracted countless scrutiny, and someone saw them face to face and asked them which children they were.

"I'm here to visit my relatives." Haizhu said.

Dongzhu recognized Pingsheng in a group of children pouting and digging in the soil, and she shouted, "Is my mother at home?" ”

"Oh, these are the babies born to the woman Yu Laishun married before, and I found them last year." Someone remembered, "It doesn't seem to be a poor family, how did I hear that I couldn't afford to raise children over there so I brought my life here." ”

"Yu Laishun said it outside?" The woman with a black mole on her face covered her mouth and said secretly, "I think it's just for the sake of a good face, I heard my man say that Yu Laishun married two mothers-in-law before and didn't have a baby, and the third one has been married for a year, and his stomach has not moved, so he probably can't give birth, so he specially found a widow with a baby and raised him for the elderly since he was a child." ”

"Married three?" Some people were surprised.

"Yes, the first one died of illness, the second one stayed in his hometown and ran away with the merchant, this is the third, he looks good, he looks at it every day, and it is very rare, and he is willing to spend money on her."

The three Haizhu sisters and brothers had already entered the door of Yu's house, and when they entered the door, Yu Laishun was repairing chairs in the yard, and when he looked up and saw his youngest son following Feng Ping like a tail, he froze for a moment and shouted into the house: "Jing Niang come out quickly, you can see who is coming." ”

"Uncle Yu." Haizhu opened his mouth and shouted, "Let's come and see my mother." ”

"Come in and sit down, why do you still bring so many things, don't take anything next time you come over." Yu Laishun washed his hands and went to the kitchen to boil water.

Qin Jingniang saw that it was her three children who came, she was very happy, and her eyebrows flew up. She took out all the food and drink at home, and washed the fruits brought by the children and brought them to the table, "Old Yu, boil water to slaughter the chicken, and stew the chicken at noon." ”

"Okay, you mothers talk, and leave the cooking to me." Yu Lai came out with a few bowls of boiling water and said, "The honey water is sweet, I love this in my life, you can also taste it." ”

This enthusiastic look seemed to welcome them over, Haizhu admired his smoothness a little, endured the embarrassment and drank saliva, saying that it was delicious.

"You go cook." Qin Jingniang saw that the three children were a little restrained, so she sent the man away, closed the courtyard door and sat down to talk to Haizhu.

"Do morning stalls and night stalls, are you tired? You're still growing your body, don't push yourself too hard. Qin Jingniang pointed to the hen plopping at the door of the stove and said, "Don't buy it next time, buy it and take it back to eat yourself." ”

"We usually eat it, and we don't lack two chickens." Haizhu said, "I'm not tired of setting up a stall, the night stall is out once every two days, and I will rest when I'm tired, and I won't go out of the stall if the weather is bad." ”

"That's okay, that's fine."

Although Yu Laishun is in business, his family has a lot of money in and out of the account, and he is a wealthy family just looking at the account book, but he is not as willing to eat as Haizhu in terms of food. Ping's teeth, he pinched the cut dates and gnawed slowly, the gnawing saliva flowed to his chin, and when he saw Fengping eating star fruit, he also wanted to take a bite.

Yu Laishun squatted in the corner of the wall to pluck chicken feathers, and said in his mouth: "There are many fruit trees in my hometown, and no one picks up dates when they fall on the ground. This chicken is also, the country house is big, every household raises chickens, and eats chicken at home during the New Year, and he doesn't eat it himself after the New Year. ”

In and out of the words, there is no shortage of this and that at home, and there is no shortage of that, and the gifts you use are all what we have eaten.

Qin Jingniang smacked her lips impatiently, "There are also many fish on the seaside, every household has salted fish, and the people here are impatient to eat this thing, you buy it and sell it, don't the people in your village also rob it?" What do you do with all this? ”

Yu Laishun shut up and went to cook honestly.

Haizhu wanted to laugh a little, Qin Jingniang's two husbands were not stubborn, and they didn't feel annoyed by losing face after being trained, she felt that she didn't have to worry anymore when she came over, Qin Jingniang was a person who would live.

It takes a long time to stew chicken, and Haizhu proposes to go out for a walk, "Are there many leeks in the village?" When the sky is free, I push the wooden cart and come over to cut leeks. ”

Dongzhu put down the sugar cane, wiped her mouth and followed.

As soon as the two sisters left, Fengping couldn't sit still, and when Pingsheng saw him go, he got up from the ground and hurriedly followed.

It is equivalent to chasing him out, his cheap son has already run away, and when people ask him who he is, he stupidly pointed at Fengping and Dongzhu and said that it was his brother and sister.

"Old Yu, you can't raise this cub." The man who came back from carrying water was upset for Yu Laishun, "If you want me to say just send your life over there, you raise it for nothing, and you will still kiss that side when you grow up." ”

"The family is naturally close, and I am relieved that he has brothers and sisters to help me." Yu Laishun gritted his teeth and said something against his will, he pretended to be generous, and said: "I have a relationship with this child, and I have a relationship with him, and there is no shortage of his food at home, what to do when I send him away." ”

He didn't believe that he treated their mother and son well, and when he grew up, he could ignore him with a black conscience, not to mention anything else, just looking at the three brothers and sisters above him are all filial and good children, and they are not far from in their lives, and good seeds can't grow crooked seedlings.

Yu Laishun went in to cook, and when he was burning the fire, he sighed, he really envied the short-lived Boss Qi, who had a short life but had four babies, and he couldn't see how his temperament was, and the other three were all competitive.

Alas, he longed that these four children were his species, and every time they met, he was envious and jealous, wanting to be good to these children but unwilling, why were they not his own.

After sitting down and having a meal together, drinking a bowl of water after the meal, Haizhu took Dongzhu and Fengping away, and he wanted to play with them in his life, but was coaxed back by Yu Laishun with a copper plate.

The merchant ships on the wharf had gone, and the reef beach was littered with rotten fruit, some of which had been carried away by the tide and floated on the sea, causing seabirds to fall and eat the rotten fruit. A flock of birds also landed on the docks, and the spiky beaks pecked at the flesh that had not yet rotted, and the guards with the knives did not drive them away, leaving them up and down.

The sky was gloomy, the sea looked blue and black, the waves were rolling, and the vast sea surface seemed like a huge mouth devouring everything. Far away, the uninhabited island standing in the ocean is not as big as a ship, and the shadow is hidden in the fog...... Fog!

Looking at Haizhu again, the sea is foggy.

"It's foggy." The guard, who had been looking into the distance, said, "But no fishing boat has lost its way." ”

In the evening, the sea is like a pot of boiling water, and the fog is so thick that people can only be seen when the fishing boats are docked.

The women and children of the fishermen's family had no intention of cooking, so they all gathered at the wharf, and whenever there was a faint light on the sea, the people on the wharf raised their hearts, and the men of their own family breathed a sigh of relief, crying and laughing. The others continued to stare at the sea.

The price of fish was high that night, and the owners of the restaurants stopped bargaining, and they bought them all back, and it was already difficult to come back, so let's sell more money and go home happily.

In the middle of the night, a shrill cry sounded in the alley two streets away, and only three of the five people who were traveling with him returned, and the two brothers fell into the whirlpool with the boat.

The fog is too big, the situation on the sea surface is not real, and it is common to be swept away by a whirlpool.

The sad and earnest cry rang out for two or three days, and the neighbors brought something to comfort the orphans and widows, sighed twice, mourned twice, and went out to live their own lives.

There are many people who have lost their lives in the sea, and the rest of the people are also numb, and those who are alive have to continue to live, and after a long time, they will naturally forget their sorrows.

Just like Dongzhu, she won't cry anymore and say that she misses her father, just like Fengping, he looked at the gate with white lanterns from afar, turned his head and said that he had forgotten what his father looked like.

*

The dock was deserted for a few days, and when the weather cleared, the fog on the sea cleared, and the fishermen went out to sea again.

Haizhu was also about to hold the boat to go to the sea, and was about to go out Han Ji came over, "My father came yesterday, and tomorrow he will have a banquet on the island for the officials of Yongning and Hui'an, I will explain to Shen Sui, and he will bring you over when he passes." ”

"How did you get over? Is there an official ship to pick you up? ”

Han Ji glanced at her, laughed, and said, "The shelf is quite big, you swim over." ”

"Then you said the opposite, I should have taken him." Haizhu smiled, "I'll hold the boat over tomorrow?" ”

"Yes, whatever you want. I still have something to do, so I'll go first. Looking back and seeing Dongzhu running back, as soon as she saw him, the smile on her face slowly disappeared, Han Ji was a little puzzled, he hadn't scolded her or disciplined her, he was afraid of what he would do.

"The food at tomorrow's banquet is very good, you can bring your brother and sister with you." He said.

Han Ji left, and Haizhu asked Dongzhu if she was going.

Dongzhu shook her head, "I'm not going, it's all people I don't know." ”

Haizhu follows her will, not reluctantly.
