Chapter 221: Damn, I have fallen to the bottom of the contempt chain. I saw a good product as soon as I arrived!
Chen Huihong was mending a fishing net in her yard.
Seeing the two people coming back, he stood up and took the warm Chinese medicine from the pot and gave it to An Wenjing.
Chen Hui took out the jar of rock sugar from the cupboard and gave An Wenjing the biggest one.
But then I felt it was a little too big and couldn’t fit in his mouth, so I changed it to a smaller one and gave it to him.
"You silly child, Wen Jing is such a grown-up, do you need sugar to take medicine?"
Chen Huihong teased him with a smile.
"You don't know, this medicine contains Coptis chinensis! No matter how old a person is, he can't stand the bitterness of Coptis chinensis." Chen Hui said.
"Coptis chinensis?! I was wondering why the medicine was so yellow. I dropped a few drops on the dishcloth and they couldn't be washed off."
"Isn't this stuff for reducing internal heat? Why are you giving this to Wen Jing?"
Chen Huihong asked in confusion.
Chen Hui and An Wenjing both laughed when they heard this.
An Wenjing gestured with her upper body and repeated Wu Daisong's words about the upper body being hot and the lower body being cold, and the imbalance of the three burners.
Chen Huihong shook her head, indicating that she didn't understand.
It’s just that Wu Daisong is quite famous in the village, and people from other places would come to him for medical treatment.
It’s just a few pills anyway. If they don’t work, you can just stop taking them. It’s not a waste of money.
"Oh! I forgot to pay for the medicine!" Chen Hui suddenly remembered.
"Anyway, I haven't received the money from Big Gecko yet, so I can just deduct it next time."
As An Wenjing spoke, she tilted her head back and drank most of the bowl of Chinese medicine in her hand.
It was so bitter that I could hardly open my eyes. I quickly put the candy into my mouth and waited for a few seconds for the candy to dissolve. Only then did my facial features gradually relax.
He exhaled heavily and sighed, "The bitterness of Coptis chinensis is really as good as its reputation!"
After saying that, he scooped some water from the water tank and wiped the area around his mouth clean.
Otherwise, it will taste bitter when you lick it.
After drinking the medicine, An Wenjing followed Chen Huihong's example and mended the fishing nets in the yard together.
Chen Hui strolled around the door.
Looking at the watch, I estimated that it would take more than an hour for the tide to recede.
Seeing that there were still a lot of fishing nets waiting to be repaired hanging in Chen Huihong's yard, she went over to take one, took the tools in her hands, found a small stool, and sat down with An Wenjing to repair the fishing nets together.
"Hey! The sun rises from the west today?"
Wu Shuisheng came back from outside with some shopping.
It was so novel to see the aunt and nephew working in the yard.
Carefully walking around An Wenjing, she looked behind Chen Hui and was even more surprised. "Auntie, you know what, Chen Hui's fishing net is as good as yours."
"Don't flatter him. I'm already happy that he can do his job. It's okay as long as the fish doesn't run away. It doesn't matter whether the repair is complete or not."
Chen Huihong talked and laughed, but she did not slack off in her hands.
"Really? Come and see!"
Wu Shuisheng looked at An Wenjing, then at Chen Hui, "This Wenjing is outshined by Chen Hui."
Wu Shuisheng's words immediately attracted the attention of the two women present.
Chen Huihong and An Wenjing both stopped what they were doing and came over to take a look.
The crochet hook in Chen Hui's hand shuttled freely through the fishing net, repairing the torn places when the fish was being unhooked in a very regular manner.
Not only are the spacings standard and the seams beautiful, but the speed is also quite good.
"Oh my! This is really a good filler!"
"If you can't eat after going out to sea, you won't go hungry every month even if you go to the dock to collect the fishing nets and bring them back to replenish them." Chen Huihong said happily.
"How much money can you make by mending fishing nets? I might as well work in a restaurant."
Wu Shuisheng sat down beside him, lit a cigarette and talked.
Chen Huihong pushed him aside in disgust, complaining:
"Move away, it's stinking."
"You go out to sea every day. When you're not out at sea, you don't do any housework at all. Even Chen Hui knows to help mend the fishing nets. Look at you."
"."Wu Shuisheng didn't expect it.
One day, I will actually be ranked behind Chen Hui and become the last on the contempt chain for doing housework.
He smiled helplessly and took the things he bought to the kitchen.
He went out for a stroll while smoking a cigarette.
Chen Hui and An Wenjing accompanied Chen Huihong to mend the fishing net for a while.
Wu Si and Huang Miao came over to call for help.
Seeing Chen Hui sitting and mending the fishing nets, he also looked as if he had seen a ghost.
"Oh my god, the power of marriage is too great. I don't want to get married anymore." Wu Si shook his head repeatedly.
"Every day, you're the one who says you want to get married, and you're the one who says you don't want to get married."
"There is no such thing as doing nothing and having a good life."
Chen Hui joked, quickly mending the fishing net in his hand and hanging it on the rack beside him.
Chen Huihong looked at it and said with great satisfaction:
"Wu Si, you two grew up together. Now Chen Hui is married and sensible, and Gou Shun has a job. You are the only one missing."
"Oh! I got it, aunt!" Wu Si smiled perfunctorily and winked at Chen Hui, signaling him to hurry up.
Chen Hui prepared the tools needed for fishing and going into the sea, and An Wenjing also repaired the fishing net in her hand.
After hanging up the fishing net, he called Chen Huihong to go with him.
"I'll wait for the aunt next door to go together. You young people can go and have fun, and I won't get involved." Chen Huihong said with a smile.
Dasha Village is even more enthusiastic about catching the trend than Chenjia Village.
When a few people arrived, the tide had just begun to recede and quite a few people had already gathered on the beach.
Everyone was holding a flashlight and carrying a bucket, digging and picking up things in the sand, or chasing the waves and playing surfing.
"Let's go to where the waves can reach and see if there are any good things washed up by the waves!" Huang Miao suggested.
"Okay! That's how I caught the big fish this morning." Wu Si nodded in agreement.
Chen Hui and An Wenjing had no objection either.
Four people huddled together won't yield a good harvest.
Huang Miao and Wu Si were on the left and right, a little further away from Chen Hui.
Everyone keeps their own pursuits, yet each keeps a distance from the other so that they can shout and be heard.
A big wave came up, bringing up a long, thin object.
Chen Hui couldn't sense it, so he just used pliers to hold it down and pick it up to take a look.
"Brother Chen Hui, what did you catch?"
An Wenjing discovered the razor clams. Just as she dug out a clam, she looked up and saw Chen Hui holding something long.
"A piece of kelp! It's perfect for making bone soup with it." Chen Hui responded.
"Braise bones with kelp?"
"Ahui, did you pick up some money without our knowledge? Your life is better than that of my master's family day by day." Huang Miao heard it and asked loudly.
"Is it not okay for me to just think about it?" Chen Hui said with a smile.
On the other side of the beach, someone caught a big fish.
He was holding the fish with great joy, attracting everyone to watch.
Wu Si called Chen Hui, but Chen Hui refused to go, so he pulled Huang Miao over.
Chen Hui took An Wenjing by the hand and continued searching on the beach.
Suddenly, I was disturbed by a wave that was not up to my calves.
He ran forward a dozen steps on the beach, just where the waves could reach.
After stopping to wait for two waves, he ran forward more than ten meters.
"Brother Chen Hui, what are you chasing?" An Wenjing thought he was a little strange and chased after him with a bucket in hand.
"Shh!"
Chen Hui said, pushing the flashlight forward and shining it forward, saying happily: "Look!"
