PDLP Chapter 133 Dead Fish
Chapter 133 Dead Fish
The other, who was a bit fatter, smiled flatteringly, "What do you know? The boss has his reasons for doing what he does..."
"Flattery!"
The thin man spat.
"Who are you talking about?"
The thin man turned his head away and said nothing.
On another small boat, three people were sitting on it, gasping for breath. Two of them looked at the last person who fell into the water with envy.
"You're really lucky. You came down late and didn't get bit by a turtle."
The other two had tiny wounds all over their bodies, and it hurt so much when they came into contact with the sea water.
Several people felt sympathetic, and a dispute arose between the other two ships.
Everyone felt that Xu Yiyi was the only one, and it would be too cowardly to let her go.
I can’t wait to catch up and grab it now.
As I was talking, I suddenly heard something coming up from the water.
One of the people who was bitten looked a little scared and quickly retreated into the cabin.
"Stop arguing, there's something in the water."
Hearing this, everyone stared at the water.
Some people even dared to stick their heads out.
……
"There's nothing there, you're just talking nonsense."
The man waved his hands, looking nonchalant.
The people who fell into the water had terrified looks in their eyes, and one of them subconsciously grabbed the oar.
The next moment the shark suddenly jumped out of the water.
The sharp teeth flashed coldly in the sunlight, and the bloody mouth opened wide, biting the person closest to her fiercely.
But it came to nothing.
"Hurry up! Don't just stand there."
The bearded man pulled the thin man back, and the three small boats left in a hurry.
"Brother, it...it's following us..."
The slightly fatter man looked back and saw that the shark was swimming really fast.
If I were to participate in a duck swimming competition, I would definitely be first.
The fat man thought so in his heart.
The bearded man slapped him directly, and it was obvious that the man was in a daze.
"What nonsense! If it doesn't catch up, how can it be worthy of its teeth?"
The bearded man sighed, thinking that he should have followed Xu Yiyi and left quickly.
She must have known that the blood in the sea water would attract sharks, otherwise why would she let them go so easily?
The bearded man felt regretful and decided not to bring these idiots with him next time he went out to sea.
It's absolutely nothing.
……
The three small boats slid hard, and the sharks were chasing them closely.
At this time, Xu Yiyi had already returned to the vicinity of Wanghai Island, and his hand movements slowed down.
The turtle cleverly climbed down from the boat.
It circled around Xu Yiyi's boat again and again.
When the tribesmen who were salvaging near the coast saw this scene, they all started to speak.
"This sea turtle is destined to be with you. I've seen it lying on the rocks to the east several times. It must be waiting for you."
An uncle shouted at the top of his voice and threw the fish in his hand in front of the turtle.
But he found that it was indifferent, just stretching its neck to look at Xu Yiyi.
"Yes, yes. This turtle is very human. Why don't you take it home and raise it?"
The sea turtle, like a spirit, picked up the fish thrown by Xu Yiyi and ate it in big mouthfuls.
After being fed once, he left slowly.
"I can't keep it at home. There's only a tiny pond in the yard. It would be too unfair to it if I kept it."
Xu Yiyi said with a smile.
This sea turtle was encountered in the town and followed Xu Yiyi to this sea area.
She could spare some time to look at it, but it wouldn't be a good idea to keep it.
After all, people are supposed to grow up in this vast ocean, free and easy.
If it went home with her and was trapped in a small pond, I'm afraid it wouldn't be happy.
"One by one, you think too much."
As the uncle spoke, Xu Yiyi smiled faintly and said nothing.
Seeing that the turtle always follows her, maybe it is thinking about the food she gives it.
If you really want to take it back, it may not be willing to do so.
Xu Yiyi rowed the boat into the river.
Er'er, who just woke up from a nap, is waiting here.
She and Xu Anyang brought over a bunch of seaweed, and when she saw Xu Yiyi, she quickly stood up.
"So many fish, sister, so many fish."
Er'er was amazed at how deep the boat's draft had become.
If there are any more things on top, water will probably get in.
"I caught some fish and prepared to dry them."
When Aunt Li heard this, she hurried over to see what was happening.
"Your fish are all good. You can just use some dead fish for drying. It would be great to sell them for money."
Aunt Li looked at Xu Yiyi as if she didn't understand much.
It’s not Aunt Li’s fault. After all, the dried fish in most people’s homes are dead fish brought back from the sea.
They are all freshly dead fish, so it doesn’t affect their eating.
There are a few of these every day, and saving a little bit is enough to eat.
When Xu Yiyi goes out to sea, he prefers crabs and prawns. He catches enough fish every day to set up his stall and eat enough for his family.
If you want to dry fish, you naturally have to go and catch some fresh ones.
Xu Yiyi did not refute, but just packed up the things on the boat.
After picking and choosing, there were a bunch of things left.
Let Xu Anyang take it and distribute it to the elderly and widows in the clan.
Aunt Li has a good relationship with the Xu family, so she is naturally indispensable.
Er'er went to deliver it to her uncle's house.
Personally, I think my relationship with my great-uncle's family is closer.
Er'er also brought sea urchins and prawns for his uncle and his family.
Back in the yard, Xu Yiyi started killing the fish without stopping, while Aunt Li kept muttering.
But he still came to help.
"Miss..."
Sihai rubbed his eyes and carried Wuyuan out on his back.
Wu Yuan's eyes were bright. He lay on his brother's back and stared at Xu Yiyi.
"Look how sensible Sihai is. He even knows how to help you take care of Wuyuan. Why does Er'er always run away?"
Aunt Li sat in the yard and took a look.
"Er Er is going to help me mend the awning of the boat."
Xu Yi kept talking without saying anything, and Aunt Li held back the words that were about to be said to lecture her.
She always felt that Aunt Li seemed a little crazy recently.
Could it be that Li Xiuying was irritated and now he feels annoyed when he sees the little girl?
Xu Yiyi glanced at it suspiciously.
"Don't blame Aunt Li for being nosy. You're raising several children by yourself. Er'er is only one year younger than you. He should be more sensible than his brother."
Xu nodded slightly, and Sihai walked over with Wuyuan on her back, letting her elder sister kiss her fat brother.
After coaxing the child, he took him out for a walk.
As they talked, they cleaned up the fish in the yard.
Aunt Li was sitting aside watching Xu Yiyi preparing the ingredients for the evening stall.
Xu Yiyi is pretty, and Aunt Li felt inexplicably better as she looked at her.
When he saw Er'er coming back, he greeted him with a smile.
"What are you having for dinner tonight?"
Er'er went in and washed her hands. She looked at the things in the sink and found that there were many fish that she didn't know how to fish.
"Let's cook some seafood porridge and add more shrimp."
Xu Yiyi feels greedy if he doesn't eat for a long time.
Worried that she would get hungry quickly, Xu Yiyi ordered another serving of fried noodles with crab sauce and a steamed fish.
The uncle thought that since he couldn't go home to eat, he just strolled over to Xu Yi's house to eat.
……
"Big sister...won't the master come with us to set up the stall?"
Sihai stood at the door with Wuyuan on his back, looking at the person sitting in the yard with a look of great confusion.
"I won't be going these days."
Ah Yue had lost a lot of health before, and she slowly made up for it after coming to the Xu family. Only then did her monthly income recover.
After all, he was injured. He looked full of energy just now, but now he looks listless and has a dull pain in his lower abdomen.
I was even more shocked when I woke up in the morning and saw so much blood.
"Don't worry, your sister Honglian will be here later."
Sihai rubbed his head: "Oh."
He was just worried that his master would run around when he was alone at home.
"Let's go."
Xu Yiyi moved the things out. Sihai told A Yue to stay at home well, stuffed the meat jerky, Poria cocos cake, and Wu Yuan's small clothes into the small bag, and followed his elder sister out.
Wu Yuan lay behind him, sucking his little hands, his eyes round and bright, looking particularly clever.
On the way downhill, Sihai suddenly became very affectionate and said to Er'er.
"Second sister, a merchant ship is coming to the island tomorrow. Can you buy me a box of Ding Ding candies?"
Sihai was very quiet, and he also looked to see if his elder sister was looking at him. His voice was very low, and he almost lay down next to Er'er's ear with Wuyuan on his back.
"I really want to eat!"
Sihai was acting coquettishly and softly, and only Er'er heard it.
Xu Yiyi was walking behind and saw him smiling in a flattering manner.
Even though I didn't hear what he said, I knew from his expression that Sihai was up to some evil ideas again.
"Why should I buy it for you?"
Er Er snorted and continued walking forward.
"You are my second sister, so just buy me a box."
Sihai pulled the corner of Er'er's clothes and pursed his lips.
"I won't. You have money yourself, why do you have to make me pay?"
On weekdays, when Xu Yiyi is too busy to run the morning stall, they will set up the stall and the money from the sales will be divided among them.
Er Er bullies people all over the world because they are small and give him the least.
The rest was divided equally among Xu Anyang, Er'er and A Yue. A Yue was so stupid that she got angry even when she was given money. She always asked Er'er to help her with her share of the money.
It can be said that apart from Xu Yiyi, Er'er is the richest person in this family.
"I have no money."
Sihai said this unhappily, and just as he finished speaking, Wuyuan laughed out loud, which was very appropriate.
The waves crashed loudly, and the sky turned golden.
"What did you buy? Did you spend your money so quickly?"
Er'er looked at Sihai curiously. On weekdays, when he went to the town, Sihai mostly helped out at the stall and didn't have much chance to buy anything.
The child sighed, "I gave it to Duoyuhua."
Er'er was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that it was related to Duoyu.
That little girl who looks a little stubborn.
"If I remember correctly, you have quite a bit of money, right? Did you spend it all on something?"
Er'er was really curious. She didn't expect that Sihai, who was so young, knew how to spend money on little girls.
"You said you could make hundreds of coins a day by setting up a morning stall, and you only gave me five coins. You're not the kind of person I am."
Sihai complained.
Er Er felt a little guilty when he heard this and said, "You are still young, how can you afford so much money? I will wait until you grow up."
Don’t blame Er’er for giving so little. Sihai is a kid who always likes to buy candy when he has money.
He even complained of toothache a few days ago, and Xu Yiyi was worried that he might have cavities that couldn't be cured.
Just ask Er'er to reduce the amount of money he gives him from ten cents to five cents.
"Let's not talk about this. Just buy it for me. I really want to eat it."
Sihai stretched his neck and spoke, his eyes full of desire.
Er Er broke free from Si Hai's hand and said, "Go ask Big Sister. If Big Sister allows me to buy it for you, then I will. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare."
As he said that, Er'er trotted to the boat, and Sihai shifted his gaze to Xu Anyang next to him.
Just imagine, a cute kid with big eyes is staring at him, he really can't refuse.
This is what Xu Anyang thought just now, but he didn't expect that Er'er not only refused, but also slipped away so quickly.
Xu Anyang cleared his throat.
"Actually, I don't have any money either. Your grandfather took all my money. Why don't you go ask him?"
Xu Anyang gave Sihai some advice, and the child became discouraged when he heard it.
It would be better for him to ask his elder sister than to ask his uncle.
Sihai carried Wuyuan on his back and followed Xu Anyang, taking one step forward and one step back.
It’s a delicious ding ding candy, but unfortunately he can’t afford it.
After getting on the boat, Sihai became happy again.
The pork jerky made by Xu Yiyi tastes delicious.
When they arrived at the dock, Sanchuan was already waiting at the stall. The child, who had just turned eight, was very capable and had set up the stall while they were away.
When he saw them coming, he hurried downstairs to help carry things up.
"Third brother, will you buy me some Ding Ding candy?"
Sihai pulled Sanchuan's sleeve and acted coquettishly, and Er'er suddenly said something beside him.
"Your third brother is poorer than you, so don't worry about his money."
Sanchuan has to go to school on weekdays and can only help out at the night stall, so he earns less than them.
Sanchuan was smiling and seemed to be in a good mood.
Use a handkerchief to wipe off the food crumbs stuck to Sihai's mouth.
Sihai just looked at him without saying anything.
"Your second sister is right, third brother is really poor and has no money!"
Sanchuan waved his hand and said, "You should eat less of these things. Aren't you afraid of toothache?"
Sihai shook his head and pinched his chubby little hands.
"When my teeth change, the pain will go away."
The child was very smart. He thought that although his teeth were damaged now, he would be able to grow new teeth like his third brother.
Sanchuan quickly covered his mouth, and his replaced teeth had just begun to show a little bit of points.
Now the way I speak is like a leak.
"That's not okay, I don't dare."
Sanchuan said that he was afraid that Sihai would pester him, so he couldn't help but agree, and hurried to the dock with his things.
Xu Yiyi stood behind and watched intently. She wondered why the little brat was avoiding her when talking.
It turned out that she was pestering her brothers and sisters to buy her some candy.
"What did you buy Duoyu with the money?"
Sihai had only a few dozen coins in his hand, which was a lot for a child.
It was beyond her expectation that she could spend it all at once.
Xu Yiyi was standing in front of the iron plate at this time, brushing jam on the pork belly.
He glanced at Sihai next to him, and when asked by Xu Yiyi, he did not forget to hold Wuyuan and stroll with him slowly.
"Duoyu broke her hand, and her mother and grandmother refused to take her to the hospital, so I had no choice but to take her to the clinic."
Sihai said helplessly, but her hand was hit because her grandmother was angry and threw her against the wall.
Duoyu's elder sister and brother-in-law followed the merchant ship to the provincial capital. After two days, Duoyu felt less pain and ran out to play with him.
Sihai found out after seeing that her hands were swollen badly and asking her.
