Chapter 362: Go ahead and let your imagination run wild. What does it have to do with me, Jingjing?
"Uncle Xiaoqiao, have you learned it? If you have, remember to go back and tell Aunt Shuhui."
"Tsk, Wenjing, you used to be a very well behaved person. How come you became so bad-mouthed after following Chen Hui?"
"."
Chen Hui listened to the two men talking to each other.
I swam into the sea on an oncoming wave and was almost hit in the face by a clam rolling in the sea water.
"Oh my god, I'm surfing in the sea every day. If I get hit by this little thing, I'll be laughed at if I tell others about it."
After Chen Hui dodged, he complained in his heart.
Today is the 16th. After yesterday's big ups and downs, there may still be some good stuff stranded in the sea that is not in a hurry to leave.
After looking around, I didn't see any particularly eye-catching fish, nor did I feel any big catch.
Chen Hui dived hard and swam towards the bottom of the sea.
Swim slowly between the rocks and seaweed piles.
Look for small but valuable fish that may be hiding there.
There was a slight movement underneath the sand pile on the ground, and the raised sand was carried away by the sea water, looking similar to the dust raised from the ground.
"Eh? I was so busy looking for fish that I forgot about this good stuff."
Chen Hui saw a large green pair of pliers.
He took out gloves from the net bag, put them on, swam over and accurately grabbed a big blue crab from the sand.
I turned my hand over and saw that it was a female crab.
After putting the big female crab away, he used his senses to catch two blue crabs, a male and a female, and a swimming crab not far away.
I was thinking that I might just have to catch some crabs today.
Turning my head, I noticed a swaying fish tail in a crevice of a weedy reef.
The tail fin is fan-shaped and covered with dense spots.
You don't even have to see the whole fish, just look at the tail.
Chen Hui could recognize at a glance that this was a blue spot, also called tiger spot.
Judging from the size of its tail, this blue spot isn't very big, probably only about one or two kilograms.
There are a lot of fish of this size in the sea, so you can’t rely on sense to find them, you have to find them yourself.
It was pure luck that I saw this.
There are already a few crabs in the small net bag.
Chen Hui took out a medium-sized net bag and opened it, cordoning off a large area in front of the seaweed pile.
Use your toes to pinch the tail fin that is still swaying leisurely, and pull the fish out backwards.
Qingban was shocked!
The slippery tail fin was pulled away from between Chen Hui's toes and rushed forward with a whoosh.
It swam into the net bag prepared by Chen Hui.
"Wow! It's actually bigger than I expected!"
Chen Hui thought with surprise and immediately tightened the drawstring of the net bag.
I sensed that there were some rather large crabs around.
He swam over with two net bags and dug out five blue crabs, two mantis shrimps and a stone crab.
Stone crabs don't have much meat, even if they are quite large.
After playing with it in his hand for a while, Chen Hui threw it back into the sand pile.
It was almost high tide, so we returned to the shore with a great harvest.
Seeing Chen Hui coming ashore, the two people who were digging clams and mussels and waiting on the side immediately surrounded him.
An Wenjing skillfully used Chen Hui's shirt to wipe the water off his hair.
While wiping, he said, "Brother Chen Hui, isn't it time to cut your hair?"
"Well, I'll go to town to sort it out some other day."
Chen Hui nodded, took the pants and put them on.
I also put on my half-wet shirt.
That’s the good thing about summer.
Even if the clothes have rubbed against my hair, it is fine to wear them. They will be almost dry when I get home. "Chen Hui, are there crabs in here? There look to be a lot!" Chen Xiaoqiao said, looking at another net bag.
"It's crabs. Several of them. Several kinds."
"Uncle Xiaoqiao, just reach out and catch one. It depends on your luck what you catch."
As Chen Hui spoke, he used his empty bucket to scoop up some sea water and put the net bag containing the green spots into it.
"Catch me at random? You have to pay for pinching my hand!"
"I want two!" said Chen Xiaoqiao.
"Okay!" Chen Hui agreed readily.
Chen Xiaoqiao opened the net bag and saw the blue crabs inside and laughed, "Boy, even though you have a lot of bad ideas, you can still be a brother at the critical moment."
I didn't bring any hemp rope today, so the crabs were squeezed in the net bag and fighting, and it was inevitable that some of them would lose limbs.
Chen Xiaoqiao picked up two blue crabs with broken claws and threw them into his bucket.
This kind of crab cannot be sold at a high price at the purchasing point, but it is a real delicacy to take home and eat.
The three of them returned to Wu Shuisheng's home together.
Chen Hui tied up the intact crab with a hemp rope and put it into the water tank together with the blue crab.
"Hey? Isn't this a tiger stripe? You're lucky!"
"If I had known you would catch such a good catch, I would have chosen two big crabs." Chen Xiaoqiao saw it and joked.
"Brother Chen Hui, this fish weighs three pounds, right? How much can it be sold for?" An Wenjing asked.
"It looks big in the water, but it should be just over two kilograms."
"Although blue grouper is also a grouper, it is more common and costs only four or five yuan per pound."
"It's good enough to catch this when going to the sea."
"Take the fish and crabs to Uncle Yao tomorrow and we'll take whatever they sell for."
Chen Hui said it easily.
Chen Xiaoqiao was so excited after hearing this:
"One pound is five yuan, and two and a half pounds is twelve and a half yuan."
"Add these crabs, it should be at least 17 or 18 pieces in total, right?"
"You just swam in the sea for half an hour, and it's almost as good as my elder brother's half-month swim. Isn't that great? It's awesome, isn't it?"
After thinking about it, it’s no wonder that Chen Hui’s life has been getting better and better since he got married.
They have real skills.
Unlike myself, I don’t have a high level of education and my abilities are not strong.
No matter how hard you try, you can't get into a factory or a village.
Just being a farmer like everyone else in the village, what is there to strive for?
Chen Xiaoqiao waved his hands and said, "If I had your ability, I could also go into the sea, but it's a pity that I don't have it, right?"
"Uncle Xiaoqiao, you are the son of the village chief. You were born with a good life."
"Your life now is good enough, and better days are yet to come."
As Chen Hui spoke, he was actually a little envious of Chen Xiaoqiao.
"Is this what Wen Jing meant by, her mouth is filled with honey?"
"Such words really make people feel comfortable. Okay! I'll learn from them."
Chen Xiaoqiao's hair was smoothed down, and he accepted An Wenjing's words naturally.
They raised the fish and shrimp at home, and called Wu Shuisheng, who was addicted to watching TV, and they returned to Chenjia Village together.
Chen Xiaoqiao pedaled his bicycle very fast.
When Chen Hui and An Wenjing arrived outside Lin Jiao's house, they saw Wu Shuisheng walking alone from the road in front of his house to Chen Guogang's house.
"Brother Chen Hui, look at how Uncle Xiaoqiao looked just now. He almost seemed to be flying."
An Wenjing smiled as she watched Wu Shuisheng walk away.
"Uncle Xiaoqiao's passionate middle-aged look makes me want to have wild thoughts too."
Chen Hui leaned close to An Wenjing and whispered softly.
"Go ahead and let your imagination run wild. What does it have to do with me, Jingjing?"
