"Grandma, just call me Haizhu, my mother didn't leave the village today, right?"

"She's at home, and she's just picked up the soles of her shoes here and went back to cook."

"Then you're busy, I'll go over and ask her to add more dishes."

"You're back, and your mother wants to set up a big table of dishes."

Haizhu laughed twice, and under the guidance of the big yellow dog, she and Han Ji walked into the gate of Yu's house, with clothes drying in the yard, a sewing basket on the chair, and a chimney on the roof smoking.

The big yellow dog rushed into the stove room, and when Qin Jingniang saw it coming back, she was surprised: "You got out of school so early today?" ”

"Did you go to the official school in your life?" Haizhu probe.

"Oops!" Qin Jingniang was startled by the protruding voice, and when she saw the person clearly, she patted her legs excitedly, "You girl, it's you, I thought it was a school student." When did you come back? Ten days ago, I came back to say that you had been to Yongning, I went to the dock and asked, it's really you, you came and left, why don't you come home? ”

"Isn't this coming, I'm planning to come over on the return trip, and your son-in-law is also here." Haizhu smiled.

Han Ji showed his head and said, "Mother, let's pick up Pingsheng and go to live on the island for a few days, you can go too." ”

"Counting the days, my father is coming back, I won't go, you will take Pingsheng. Don't come in, go out and sit, I'll cook." Qin Jingniang stuffed a few more firewood into the stove, she took the bowl and washed it, poured hot water from the pot and brought it out, and went into the house to get food, and the melons and fruits brought by the two were also washed and put on a plate and brought out. ”

"I also feel like it's going to be warmer, and this year's winter is over." Haizhu took out a short blade to cut fruit for the bird to eat, and caught a glimpse of the big yellow dog getting up and running out, and said, "Pingsheng is back." ”

But no one came in outside the door, the big yellow dog went straight to the entrance of the village, it just arrived for a while, the children who were studying in the village came back together, Pingsheng was one of them, he whistled, the big yellow dog wagged his tail and greeted it, the tail shook into a phantom, and the dog's crotch had to be twisted and misplaced.

"Pingsheng, your eldest sister and your eldest brother-in-law are here." Grandma, who was sitting outside the door mending fishing nets, said.

"My eldest sister is here?" Pingsheng led the dog to run back in stride, ran home and saw the person sitting in the yard, he grinned.

"Don't giggle, hungry or not? Come and have something to eat to fill your stomach, today is estimated to be late for lunch. Haizhu beckoned.

Pingsheng put down his bookbag, he scooped up water and washed his dirty hands, sat over, and said, "Eldest sister, I heard people in the school say that you have been here. ”

"Well, I left in a hurry, so I didn't come to see you." Haizhu grabbed the pine nuts that Han Ji peeled for the bird and handed them to Pingsheng, saying, "We are here to pick you up and play, we used to live for a while, and I will send you back when you are homesick." ”

Pingsheng nodded, "I'll go pack my clothes." ”

The bird's eye watched him swallow a handful of pine nuts in one gulp, and said greedily: "The mouth is really big." ”

Han Ji knocked on the table and handed over a few pine nuts to block its mouth.

Just four people eat, Haizhu didn't let Qin Jingniang cook more, so as not to eat the leftovers, and when she and Han Ji left with their lives, she was alone at home, and she ate leftovers at night.

When eating, the big yellow dog lies quietly under the table, and when people throw vegetables down, it eats a bite, and no one throws it and does not make a sound, until the person finishes eating, and it comes out of the table when the rice is fed.

Haizhu asked if Pingsheng's luggage was packed, and said, "Mother, we have to continue sailing, we don't stay much, so let's go." ”

"Alas, I have to leave again not long after I entered the door, and I will stay for two more days when I send Pingsheng back." Qin Jingniang took off her apron and followed the people out, there were people in the neighbors opposite, she confessed that she didn't lock the door, and sent Haizhu all the way to the dock, the boat started and she stood at the pier to watch, and the boat went away before going back.

On the boat, Haizhu asked Pingsheng about moving, he shook his head and said, "My mother won't tell me, and she won't let me inquire." ”

"That's a play, and she's not sure when she'll be able to move over, so she won't tell you." Haizhu said.

The wind outside the cabin was cold, Haizhu pulled Pingsheng into the house, the bird fell asleep in the nest, Han Ji was playing chess with himself, and when he saw someone coming in, he raised his eyes and said, "Talk about a game?" ”

"You let me have five sons."

"Well said."

Haizhu sat down, let Pingsheng sit aside and watch, when playing chess with Han Ji, in order to disturb his mind, she asked him to teach Pingsheng the rules of chess, and she concentrated on judging the position of each chess piece.

Han Ji saw through her tricks, let her go from time to time, looked at her with a smile, and began to close the net when she thought she was going to win, and said reservedly: "Narrowly win a son, admit it." ”

"Phew." Haizhu rolled his eyes and said, "One more game." ”

"One more game."

"One more ......"

"Again—"

The parrot standing on the table stretched out its claws to hold Haizhu's hand and said, "Forget it, it's dark, and the bird is hungry." "It's tired of watching it, and it's expected to end up, and it's definitely Haizhu who loses.

Han Ji laughed and provoked: "Mingzhu looks down on you. ”

Haizhu put down the chess pieces, she shook her stiff neck, and said, "I won't play with you, go out and see if dinner is good." ”

Dinner is ready, the food on the ship is simple, the fish soup is boiled with powder, and then two side dishes are fried is a meal, after the meal, go around on the boat to eliminate food, simply wash and then fall asleep, and then open your eyes to arrive at the dock of the island.

At this time, the sky was just dawning, the sea was still blue-black, there were only night guards on the docks, and the streets were empty, except for the morning light. Han Ji chose a family to eat in the morning, the bird followed closely, Haizhu led Pingsheng to the end, the steaming heat in the house rushed in, she couldn't help but shiver.

"Little Er, what kind of food can you eat?" Han Ji walked up to Haizhu and asked in a low voice, "Cold?" ”

Haizhu shook her head.

"You can eat soup dumplings, seafood porridge, vegetable porridge, vegetarian cakes, and wontons." Xiao Er answered.

"Fill a basket of soup dumplings, three bowls of wontons, and a plate of vegetarian cakes." Haizhu ordered, she glanced at the bird, took out the bowl and said, "Add another bowl of warm water." ”

"Okay."

Soup dumplings and vegetarian cakes were served on the table first, Xiao Er scooped a bowl of hot water and poured it into the porcelain bowl, and then the shopkeeper sent three bowls of wontons, he wiped his hands and greeted: "The young general, this is just off the boat?" ”

Han Ji nodded and said, "You are busy, it will be time to come to business in a while." ”

People eat and drink water, hot soup into the stomach, people and birds are comfortable, the residual hardship has disappeared, the settlement of the account out of the morning shop, there are already firewood and vegetable vendors on the street, the sky has been bright.

"Wait." Han Ji turned back to the morning shop, he asked the shopkeeper to borrow a food box, bought breakfast and sent it to the Yue family, stuffed Pingsheng into the door of the Qi family, and left the bird to play with Chaoping and Xingzhu, and said: "Grandmother, I came here with Haizhu to eat at noon, let's go back and put the business at hand in order." ”

As soon as the bird heard that they were going to talk about something he did not understand, he immediately dismissed any intention of going back with him, and said, "When the meal is ready, the bird will call you." ”

Han Ji spoke seriously on his face, but he was actually so anxious that he scratched his heart, and without waiting for Grandma Qi to speak, he took Haizhu away, shuttled all the way through the General's Mansion, and when he entered the main courtyard, he picked up people horizontally and strode into the house.

"I'm going to kill you." Haizhu laughed.

"yes, I'm dying." Han Ji admitted frankly that when he broke into the house, he hugged someone with one hand and took off her shoes with the other, saying: "I haven't slept all the nights on the ship." ”

When the man got on the bed, he pounced on it, tore off the veil with his backhand, threw his clothes off the bed one by one, and whispered, "What do you think I am in a hurry to come back from the night boat?" ”

The bedroom door was not closed, and the maid who heard the sound withdrew from the yard with a red face, and had to stay outside to prevent the birds from making trouble.

From the first dawn to the sun, the sun shone through the open door, and Haizhu lay on the bed like a detached force, with her toes hooked up the veil, she looked up, pulled up the corners of the quilt over her body, cleared her throat and said, "I want to drink water." ”

Han Ji went out with a teapot, and after a while, he brought in a pot of hot water, still holding a basin of hot water in his hand, he closed the door with his feet, poured a bowl of water and sent it into the gauze tent, and said, "Come, drink water, I will help you." ”

Haizhu glared at him, sat up and took the bowl to drink, and only after drinking a bowl of water did he feel alive.

"Fuck off." She handed over the bowl and said, "I'll sleep for a while, and I'll not go over to eat, so you can find an excuse to stop the bird." ”

"I'm not going there either." Han Ji walked to the table and drank two bowls of water, he took the basin to wipe Haizhu's body, cleaned up himself, and sent the maid to Qi's house to say that he had something to do with Haizhu and went out, and came back in the evening.

He and Haizhu both fell asleep, woke up hungry and shouted to the maid to deliver food, and when he was full, he messed around in bed again, and continued to sleep when he was tired, and when he woke up again, he was woken up, and the bird came back and quarreled with the maid who blocked the way outside.

"Get dressed." Haizhu sat up, and she picked up the dirty clothes and pants on the inside of the bed and put them on.

"The bird heard the sound and lied to the bird! Haizhu—"

"Let it in." Haizhu shouted, and she opened the gauze tent and sat up.

Han Ji went to open the door, and the bird bumped head-on, he covered his face that had been shaved by feathers, and said, "What's the hurry?" No one was lost. ”

The bird snorted, and it landed on the screen frame and watched the two of them puff out without squeaking.

It didn't speak, Haizhu and Han Ji didn't speak, they were busy with their own things, because they didn't go out, Haizhu simply pulled up her hair and sat on the low couch with her face facing the sky to drink tea.

"Do you drink water?" She raised her glass to the bird.

"You lied to the birds." The parrot accused, "You are at home. ”

"We just came back half an hour ago, and you woke us up just after we fell asleep." Han Ji brought a chair and sat down, and said, "Take Pingsheng out to play tomorrow, where is there fun?" Or back to the city? Let's go back to Fucheng, Fucheng is more prosperous. ”

"Then go back to Fucheng, go back and stay for two days and then come back. I almost forgot about the old turtle, I'll go to see the old turtle, you go to the big kitchen and give an order, prepare more dishes, and call my grandmother to come here to eat at night. Haizhu put on his shoes and said, "Mingzhu, will you go to the beach with me or at home?" ”

After several interruptions, the bird's anger was gone, and it flapped its wings and followed out, and when it met the maid who stopped it, it scolded arrogantly: "Liar." ”

The maid laughed dryly.

Haizhu was also a little embarrassed.

Chapter 240: The Dolphin Leads the Way

When a man and a bird arrived at the beach, it happened that the fishing boat was coming back, and Haizhu was watching their catch at the dock, and the old turtle who was hunting heard her voice and came closer, and suddenly took a bite on her heel.

"Huh-" Haizhu shouted, she subconsciously raised her legs, the shoes stuck on the turtle's teeth and couldn't be pulled out, her feet squeezed out the shoes, and before the feet landed, the old turtle opened her mouth and bit the other foot.

The bird swooped down and took a bite on the turtle's neck, and scolded at the top of its voice: "Old things don't have long eyes." ”

"Don't fight, don't fight, don't fight." Haizhu hurriedly went to pull the frame and explained: "The old turtle didn't bite the skin, Mingzhu, you are angry." ”

There were only tooth marks on her heels, but the turtle's neck was pecked by the bird and bled down, and the blood ran down the blue-brown skin, and the old turtle looked up at the bird, and the bird circled and stared at it viciously.

"The birds are fierce, Lord Protector." The fishermen on the side said happily.

Haizhu picked up the embroidered shoes with a row of tooth marks and put them on, asked the fisherman to buy a bag of shrimp, and led the old turtle away, and the parrot followed.

"I'm out on business, no, I'll come to see you when I come back." Walking to a place where there are few people, Haizhu squats down and twists the shrimp to peel the shell, and feeds the shrimp tail meat to the old turtle.

"Fool, don't give it food." Birds land on the beach and walk around.

"It's playing around with me, not really trying to bite me." Haizhu peeled a shrimp tail and handed it to the bird, saying, "Eat a shrimp to dissipate your anger." ”

She was happy in her heart, the bird was too partial to her, she was small, and she knew how to protect her.

"Good bird." She happily rubbed the bird's head with the back of her hand, turned her head and said to the old turtle: "Your temper is not good, you used to bite me, forget it, now you can remember it for a long time, I have a bodyguard, and if you bully me again, I am reluctant to beat you, and the bird will avenge me." ”

"Revenge!" The bird howled excitedly.

"I don't want you to take revenge now, stop and stop." Haizhu sat cross-legged on the beach and continued to peel shrimp, muttering: "The old turtle is a family with us, you can't bite it, you see you pecked it and bled it, it will have to go back to the sea later, the wound is soaked in salt water, how painful." ”

The bird pretends to be deaf, and it eats shrimp without making a sound.

After feeding a bag of shrimp, the old turtle went straight back to the sea, Haizhu went to clean its nest, and she dug out the sand that the sea water poured into the pit, and the leftover shrimp heads, clam shells, crab shells, and fish tails were also selected.

"Haizhu, can you go back?" Qi Laosan collected the boat, and he shouted on the road with a fishing net.

"Come, wait for me." Haizhu threw away the last clam shell, she got up and beckoned the bird to leave, and said to the old turtle, "I'll come to see you tomorrow morning." ”

On the way back, she went to the fishing market to buy ten female crabs, steamed them on the fire when she got home, took crab roe and fried crab butter, and then fried rice with crab butter.

"It's time to eat." Han Ji came to find it and asked, "Fried rice to feed the birds?" ”

"Hmm." The bird standing on the stove squeaked in a thin voice, "Bird's." ”
