Chapter 247: Beach Hunting
The high tides on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month have passed, the waves have gradually calmed down, and they seem gentle when hitting the rocks.
The water began to rise before the sun set.
By the time we had finished dinner the tide had receded.
It was getting dark, and the sunset glow on the horizon gradually faded away the last trace of orange, replaced by a deep blue-gray.
In the distance, the horizon blends with the sky, blurring the boundaries. Only a few scattered stars twinkle faintly, as if lighting up the night sky in advance.
The mudflats after the tide receded were wet and shimmering, like a mirror polished by sea water.
There was a lot of water on the muddy ground.
The traces of shells, crabs and conches are clearly visible.
On the way back, I saw many people carrying fish baskets and bamboo tubes.
"Sister, I want to go fishing too."
Er'er followed him into the yard happily, and Sanchuan Sihai nodded beside him.
"Don't go too far when you go, just follow the uncles and aunties you know."
The mudflats were packed with people, fearing that a few children would have too much fun and run further and further into the water.
"Okay! I will definitely take good care of my two younger brothers and Ah Yue."
Er'er grinned and took out a piece of cloth-wrapped wood from the utility room.
This is the walking tool used by people living on the beach.
It's much faster than walking on foot.
Those who carry fish baskets carry fish baskets, and those who carry wooden boards carry wooden boards.
Xu Yiyi had just carried the water into the kitchen and came out.
Several children had pulled their trouser legs up very high, which made them a little tight and uncomfortable against their thighs.
But it won't fall down while working.
She hasn't spoken yet.
Xu Anyang's voice could be heard from a distance.
"Going to the beach?"
Xu Anyang was fully dressed, with his trouser legs rolled up to reveal his dark and thin legs.
There were two fish baskets hanging on his body.
"Just go ahead."
Er'er helped A Yue tie up her clothes and ran out excitedly carrying various tools.
"Hurry up! I put out several bamboo tubes before the tide came in. They might all be full of fish. If someone else gets them, I'll be at a loss."
Xu Yiyi watched several children running down the slope and shouted.
Another large group of children ran out with a whooshing sound.
It fell behind, making quite a noise.
It looks so majestic.
……
After Xu Yiyi fed the various livestock at home, he quickly cooked food for the old and young in the family.
The little kid has a big temper.
There was an accusing look in his eyes, as if asking why she took so long to feed him.
Xu Yiyi tapped the child's nose lightly.
Cook the soft tofu and mash it into a paste. Add egg yolks the size of a fingernail and stir until it becomes a paste.
Without oil and salt, it tastes bland.
But the kids just enjoy eating it.
Before I even swallowed the one in my mouth, I started thinking about the next bite.
His hand was still tightly holding the small bowl and he refused to let go.
After taking a bite, I was so happy that I couldn’t stop smiling. I was so happy that I could have fun again.
Xu Yiyi was exhausted after feeding her.
"Sit here and play! Big sister, go wash the dishes."
Xu Yiyi coaxed him and turned around to wash the dishes.
Look again, the child is sitting on the armchair and is so sleepy that he starts fishing.
She walked over and quickly took off the baby's clothes.
The chubby child was lying naked in the wooden tub and woke up instantly.
They were having a lot of fun splashing the water with their hands and feet.
I didn't see anyone crying even after choking on water.
She simply washed the baby, put some clothes on him, and ran out happily.
……
As it got darker, it was impossible to tell who was who on the mudflats.
Xu Yiyi moved closer and looked around, and sure enough, he saw his great-uncle's figure on a pile of large rocks.
"Grandpa, help me hold Wu Yuan."
As soon as Xu Yiyi finished speaking, the child was already in his uncle's arms.
He was about to refuse, but when he looked up, Xu Yiyi had already run away.
Only an old man and a child were left staring at each other.
Xu Yiyi rolled up his trouser legs and as soon as he stepped on the ground, a crab pinched his meat.
Maybe it's because I have thick skin, so it doesn't hurt at all.
Xu Yiyi happily put the crab that came to his door into his pocket.
"Big sister, are you here?"
Er'er had sharp eyes and looked up to see a familiar figure kneeling on the wooden board and kicking his feet.
In a flash, he went close to the eldest sister.
Her face was covered with a blush, which was particularly noticeable even in the dim light.
"Big sister, look, I caught a lot of fish..."
Er'er opened the fish basket and held it in front of her elder sister.
There were a few mudfish jumping happily in the fish basket, as well as a few small crabs.
Xu Yiyi reached out and dug around, and actually saw a sea cucumber.
"I found it in a puddle."
Er Erke was very proud and happy in his heart but didn't say it.
I’m afraid that it will be snatched away by ignorant children.
"There will be fish soup tomorrow morning..."
Er'er shook his head and hummed a ballad.
A few seabirds were circling in the sky, chirping clearly.
