Chapter 323 So many! Someone will move the goods in the future
There are still not many people going to the rocky beach to catch the sea.
Several women were searching with buckets and flashlights.
When he saw Chen Hui and Chen Xiaoqiao, he stopped to say hello and then continued searching.
"I promised your Aunt Shuhui that I would steam some big crabs for her tonight and get two fish to make soup for the children tomorrow," said Chen Xiaoqiao.
Chen Hui pretended not to understand.
After cheering Chen Xiaoqiao on, he walked to the side, holding the bucket in one hand and the long pliers in the other.
Dong dong dong, he threw three snails into the bucket and continued walking forward.
"Eh? Don't leave!"
"Don't play dumb. This is not a task I can accomplish." Chen Xiaoqiao hurriedly caught up with him.
Chen Hui's long iron pliers came out from the crevice of the reef.
He threw the thing on the tongs into Chen Xiaoqiao's bucket and said, "Hey, isn't it now?"
"Hey?"
The moonlight was not very bright, so Chen Xiaoqiao turned on the flashlight and shone it into the water.
A large blue crab was baring its claws and teeth, trying to climb up from the edge of the bucket.
"Amazing! How did you do that?" Chen Xiaoqiao was stunned.
It was pitch dark and Chen Hui didn't even bother to use his flashlight.
There is a crab just by stretching out your hand.
"I saw it run in when I was touching a few snails just now."
"But I didn't see clearly what it was just now, so I lost a lot!"
"How about I find you a cheaper one and you return this to me?"
As Chen Hui spoke, he reached into Chen Xiaoqiao's bucket.
Chen Xiaoqiao put the bucket behind him and took several steps back.
He said with a smile: "There are two more fish. If you can help me get them, you will be my big brother!"
His elder brother?
Chen Hui automatically thought of Chen Daqiao's face, shook his head and said:
"I don't want to be your big brother."
"How about this, I'll find you two more fish, and you can go to the village entrance to carry them when I deliver them next time."
"."Hearing that he had to work, Chen Xiaoqiao hesitated.
"Give me back my crab!"
"Deal! I'll move it!"
Chen Hui smiled proudly.
I walked to a place closer to the shore, took off my clothes and pants and hung them on the branches.
Holding the long pliers and the net bag, we walked out on the larger rocks.
Seeing this, Chen Xiaoqiao stepped forward and stopped him, "Are you going to the sea? No! It's getting dark."
"Why don't you go into the sea to catch fish, and wait for the fish to come to you on shore?"
"Don't worry, I'll be quick!"
After Chen Hui finished speaking, without waiting for Chen Xiaoqiao to say anything more, he found a suitable position and jumped into the water.
"Oh no."
Chen Xiaoqiao didn't go fishing with Chen Hui very often. He didn't know Chen Hui's strength and didn't dare to go with him.
Just touch the oyster snails around.
From time to time, he stretched his neck to see if Chen Hui had come ashore.
After waiting for more than half an hour, the villagers who came to the beach to catch seafood started to go back, and Chen Hui had not come up yet.
I could hardly touch the snail, so I shone the flashlight and looked forward.
He said to himself, "Why haven't you come up yet? You clearly went down from here!"
Chen Hui had just emerged from the bright sea water, and had not yet adapted to the darkness on the shore.
A beam of light came towards me.
He quickly blocked the flashlight with his hand and shouted, "Uncle Xiaoqiao, stop shining it. It's blinding!"
When Chen Xiaoqiao heard the sound, he quickly turned off the flashlight.
Seeing the darkness all around, I felt a little uncomfortable, so I turned on the flashlight and shone it to the other side.
Chen Hui came up carrying two net bags, a medium size and a small size.
He handed the small net bag to Chen Xiaoqiao and said, "It's yours. From now on, you will be responsible for moving all the goods in the store."
"So many!?" Chen Xiaoqiao took it and poured the contents of the net bag into the bucket.
The large bucket was half full.
In addition to the fish he wanted, there were also crabs, shrimps, sea eggplants, two sections of kelp seedlings and various snails, clams and razor clams.
"How about this bucket? It's obvious that it was found at the sea." Chen Hui said.
“The stuff is right, but the quantity is outrageous.”
"If I bring this bucket back, my mother will think I stole other people's seafood."
Chen Xiaoqiao shook his head.
I found the blue crabs in the bucket, caught two fish, two pieces of kelp seedlings and some oyster snails, and put them all in a small net bag.
He put the bucket at Chen Hui's feet and said, "These are yours. You have so many workers who need to eat!"
"Fine!"
As Chen Hui spoke, he poured the contents of the medium-sized net bag into the bucket he brought with him.
Chen Xiaoqiao shone a flashlight around and saw mostly fish and shrimp, with a few octopuses and crabs.
He reached out and grabbed two octopuses and walked away, "It just so happens that I planted green peppers this year, and stir-frying them is the best."
"Speaking of growing vegetables, have you dealt with the issue of Chen Liping's youngest son stealing your vegetables?"
The two of them were carrying their things back, and Chen Hui asked casually.
"Not yet, my dad asked me to deal with it, and I don't know what to say!"
"How about you accompany me there tomorrow?" Chen Xiaoqiao asked.
Chen Hui shook his head repeatedly after hearing this, "I won't go. If you want to save face for Li Pingbo, no one else should be there for this kind of thing."
Chen Xiaoqiao thought about it and agreed.
"Why don't you let Uncle Daqiao go?" Chen Hui said jokingly.
Chen Xiaoqiao couldn't help laughing after hearing this. "My elder brother only scolds me at home, but he can't be a bad guy outside."
The two of them complained about Chen Daqiao all the way back to the village.
Chen Hui took the things to Lin Jiao's house.
Several people worked together to process the two large buckets of seafood.
If you can keep the fish, keep it. If you can’t kill it, put it away. If you can’t keep it overnight, blanch it and eat it as a midnight snack.
After eating and drinking, the two walked hand in hand from Lin Jiao's house back to Wu Jinhua's house.
"Brother Chen Hui, let's go fishing tomorrow morning?" An Wenjing said as they walked past Chen Kaiming's house.
"Hmm? Yes! Okay!" Chen Hui smiled and put his arm around An Wenjing's shoulders.
"What are you laughing at, really." An Wenjing scolded with a smile.
"It's time to take the medicine in two days, right? Don't forget it when you have a lot to do." Chen Hui reminded.
"Don't worry, I won't forget such an important thing!"
"Actually, it's not impossible today."
An Wenjing finished speaking in a low voice, her eyes drifting towards the moon which was covered by clouds and only had a halo left.
"I don't think there will be any sunshine tomorrow, I hope we can have good weather the day after tomorrow!"
Chen Hui pretended not to understand, followed An Wenjing's gaze and casually changed the subject.
Chen Hui played dumb, and An Wenjing was too embarrassed to say it again.
I went home, washed up, lay down, chatted about gossip for a while, and then went to sleep.
The next day, An Wenjing still got up early.
I boiled water and made two large buckets of tea for the construction site.
I cooked breakfast with Wu Jinhua, and after breakfast we started preparing lunch.
Wu Jinhua took a hoe and prepared to go up the mountain to do farm work.
Passing by the open door of the room, I saw Chen Hui sleeping soundly.
I couldn't help but knock on the door frame and shouted, "Chen Hui, it's time to get up. Wen Jing has been working all morning. Grandma, I'm going up the mountain."
"Hmm? Okay, I'm up?" Chen Hui said in a daze.
"Grandma Jinhua, let's not go up the mountain today. It might rain soon!" An Wenjing said while packing her things.
