Chapter 63: Leave
Ling Siye and Lin Xi were about to leave the fishing village this evening, and Yang Zilan got up early in the morning to be busy and loaded Lin Xi with a lot of dried seafood sold in her stall.
"Xiaoxi, when you go back, remember to bring these, it's better than buying them outside."
"Auntie, you can't eat so much, you just give less."
"Take it, if you don't come back once in a long time, I won't have time to install it for you when I set up a stall in the afternoon."
Yang Zilan nagged Lin Xi again.
Lin hoped for Yang Zilan's busy back, and thought about her mother again.
Zhang Feng came back last time, took the bride price and went abroad in a hurry, and he didn't have any words of concern for Lin Xi.
At this moment, Yang Zilan's broken thoughts made Lin Xi's heart sour, and the corners of his eyes were filled with tears.
Ling Siye looked at Lin Xi, her expression was complicated, as if she was struggling, and a wave of distress came to her heart, and she continued to roll.
"Xiaoxi, you only went back in the evening, and now that the tide is low, many people go to catch the sea, why don't you go together?" Sister-in-law Ah Xiang hurried to call Lin Xi.
"Go ahead, Nozomi." Yang Zilan said happily.
"Okay, let's go together." Lin Xi raised a smile, and the sad mood just now was swept away.
Ling Siye's frowning brows also relaxed.
"Ah Ye, go join in the fun."
"Okay."
Ling Siye and Lin Xi changed into shorts and shorts, carried a bucket, held a shovel, and set off with A Xiang's sister-in-law.
When they arrived, the beach was already full of people, both villagers and tourists.
The sea at high tide is blue and blue, as far as the eye can see, and the sea at low tide is also beautiful.
The receding tide leaves layers of ripples on the beach, like a beautiful oil painting in the early morning sun.
"Let's go, lots of crabs, sandworms, oysters." Sister-in-law Ah Xiang pulled up her trousers and walked to the beach.
"yes, okay."
Lin Xi saw that there were lines crawling on the beach.
"Ah Ye, here, quick, here are crabs."
Ling Siye squatted down and used a shovel to pry the wet sand, and sure enough, there was a moving crab.
"Hee-hee, look where it's going." The corners of Lin Xi's slightly upturned mouth were full of joy.
Lin Xi grabbed the crab and put it on Ling Siye's arm, watching the crab crawl slowly on Ling Siye's arm, she laughed happily.
Seeing that Lin Xi was so happy, Ling Siye kept letting the crab climb to his shoulder before gently pulling it down and throwing it into the bucket.
In less than half an hour, Ling Siye and Lin Xi carried buckets and caught a lot of crabs and white shellfish on the beach.
"Ah Ye, go over there and dig some oysters."
Ling Siye looked in the direction pointed by Lin Xi, it was originally an isolated island in the sea, the whole island was covered with reefs, because of the low tide, people went to the island to dig oysters.
"Check it out."
Ling Siye held half a bucket of crabs and white shellfish in his left hand, and led Lin Xi in his right hand and walked towards the island. Along the way, they picked up many razor clams, and Lin Xi was as happy as a child.
The corners of Ling Siye's mouth curled slightly, where is this to pick up seafood, and picking it up is obviously happiness.
When he came to the island, Lin Xi saw a lot of insects of all sizes crawling on the reef and was a little scared.
"Don't be afraid, these are the best ingredients for soup, sea sparrows and sea cockroaches." An old woman told Lin Xi with a smile.
"Thank you, mother-in-law."
Hearing the old woman say this, Lin Xi felt that she was not so scared, squatted down, and looked at these insects carefully, they were indeed sea sparrows and sea cockroaches, dried in the sun, she had seen a lot.
"Are you still scared?" Ling Siye asked her in a low voice.
"Somewhat, so much, dense phobia is committed." Lin Xi nervously grabbed Ling Siye with his hand.
"Let's go around that way."
"Okay."
Ling Siye put the bucket on the beach, led Lin Xi, and went to the island from the other side.
The reef on this side is not completely bare, so there are no sea sparrows and sea cockroaches, and the reef is covered with oysters.
Ling Si landed on the island at night, stood on the highest reef, looked at the busy scene of catching the sea on the beach, and lit a cigarette.
Adults and children are full of happy smiles on their faces, it turns out that it is not very difficult to be happy, these zero-cost happiness, it depends on whether you are willing to put it in your pocket.
In the fast-paced life of the city, many people suppress themselves and live a tired life, and this is a good outlet.
Lin Xi picked up his mobile phone and took pictures of the scene of catching the sea.
She looked back at Ling Siye who was standing on a high place, and felt that he was so different, and wherever he went, he was the most dazzling existence.
"Click, click......" Lin Xi captures every moment of beauty and freezes these moments as eternal.
"Ah Ye, come down."
"Okay."
Ling Siye walked towards Lin Xi, and the two followed the example of the villagers, looking for live oysters on the reef.
After a while, the harvest was full.
The sky was as blue as a wash, the sun slowly climbed up, emitting its light and heat, and the crowd of people rushing to the sea dispersed one after another.
Sister-in-law Ah Xiang went back to take care of Jie Zai first, and Ling Siye and Lin Xi chatted and walked back slowly.
"Ah Ye, are you still used to the life in the fishing village?" Lin Xi had been worried that he would not sleep well.
"It's good, I like it here, I'll come back more in the future, it's not very far anyway."
"Well, my aunt is very good to me, and I will come back to see her more in the future."
"Hmm." Ling Siye wanted to say that Yang Zilan was better than Zhang Feng to Lin Xi, but he was afraid of arousing Lin Xi's sadness, so he swallowed his words back.
At noon, Lin Xi and Ling Siye cooked the seafood they caught in the sea and ate them very satisfied.
After the meal, Lin Xi delivered food to Yang Zilan and helped the stall for a while, and the two chatted a lot.
"Xiaoxi, you pay more attention to Qinghe, this child, I'm still very worried about her."
"I'm relieved to find a good husband, but if she follows Li Ziqiang, I'm just not at ease."
It feels so good to be cared for by my mother, Lin Xi is a little envious of Zhang Qinghe.
"Auntie, I will, don't worry."
"The woman can't help it, but she has to worry about it."
"Auntie, you have to take care of yourself at home."
"I know." Yang Zilan responded casually. Where will she take care of herself, when the business is good, she can't even take a bite of food, and when the business is bad, she is sad and can't eat.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Ling Siye and Lin Xi were ready to return.
Lin Xi came to the rice tank, took out the 20,000 yuan prepared in advance from his bag, pulled the rice a few times with his hand, put the money in, and then buried the money with rice and covered the lid of the rice tank.
"Let's go." Lin Xi looked around the room and reluctantly closed the door.
Ling Siye looked at Lin Xi's face full of loss, put his arm around her shoulder, and comforted her.
"It's not a distant marriage, it's okay."
"Hmm." Lin Xi was so choked that she couldn't speak, and tears slipped quietly from the corners of her eyes.
