On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Yu Jian woke up from the sound of firecrackers. She stayed up last night, dragging her sleepy body until the twelve o'clock bell rang, and then fell asleep.
"Cake... Cake... don't go!" Yu Yuan uttered a few unclear words, turned over, rolled up the quilt and faced the wall and fell asleep again.
A bright red was revealed on the messy pillow. Yu Jian reached out and touched it, and stuffed a thin piece into it for him.
He turned his hand and touched his own pillow. It felt quite thick, and when he touched it again, there was another one!
I simply opened the pillow and took a look. Four red envelopes were neatly coded. They were different in color and style, but the thickness was about the same.
She picked it up and saw that her parents, Yu Jianping, and grandma each gave one, especially Uncle Jianping's, which felt thicker than the one her parents gave her.
This was the first New Year's red envelope that Yu Jian received since her rebirth. Naturally, she cherished it very much. She resealed it and placed it neatly in the small box in the drawer.
She doesn't need much money, these are just souvenirs that she will treasure forever.
"Sister, what are you doing?" Yu Yuan rubbed his eyes and sat up. The movement of tables and chairs woke him up. As if he suddenly thought of something, he turned around and threw the pillow away. Under the pillow, there was a small
The red envelope appeared quietly in front of his eyes.
He shouted with joy and showed off to his sister: "Sister, look at the red envelope! I have a red envelope!"
Opening it, a fluttering banknote was marked with a small five characters.
five yuan……
Yu Jian turned her head and grinned silently behind his back.
Then she opened the drawer, took out the red envelope she had prepared and handed it to him: "No, this is from my sister. I hope you will eat less pork shreds on bamboo boards in the new year."
Yu Yuan took it and opened it like a money addict. His eyes widened when he saw the amount of money inside, and he pointed at himself in disbelief: "Are you really giving it to me?"
One hundred yuan! That’s a lot of money! Yu Yuan repeatedly rubbed the wonderful RMB, and his eyes almost turned into the symbols of banknotes.
"Really, really, really!" Yu Jian jumped on the bed, hugged her brother's head and rubbed it several times. Yu Yuan did not resist, and let her move her hands up and down with a silly smile.
"Grandma, Happy New Year!" Yu Yuan, who had put on new clothes, jumped up to her grandma, bowed first, and then extended her hand.
Grandma Yu took a red envelope from her pocket and put it in his hand, and touched his head with a smile.
The same trick appeared in front of Yu Jianping again. Yu Jianping held the corner of the red envelope as if helpless: "A certain young man promised to accompany me to watch the Spring Festival Gala, but turned around and went to a date with Zhou Jingxuan first. What a red envelope for me.
, but don’t give it to people who don’t keep their word..."
Yu Yuan hung his arm, opened her big eyes and smiled: "I am a child! Children can have a chance to keep their words!"
It made Yu Jianping laugh.
After breakfast, Yu Jianguo and Yu Jianping took Yu Jian out to pay New Year greetings. Of course, there was a small oil bottle behind them.
How could the child Yu Yuan miss the opportunity to get the red envelope, so naturally he clamored to go together. Yu's mother endured the anger in her heart and thought to herself, who does this child look like? No one in the family loves money so much...
The New Year atmosphere in Raoxiang is very strong. Every household hangs a row of red lanterns in front of the door, and adults and children walk around the village lively.
Yu Jian walked by and was stuffed with countless peanut candies. Yu Yuan's little pocket was bulging, and he tried his best to catch them in his hand.
Uncle Wang's house, which runs the ferry, became the first stop. Uncle Wang's son left early, and his wife and daughter-in-law took care of the elderly and children. Last year, his son Wang Ke finally graduated from college and refused to stay in the big city.
He wanted to return to his hometown, but Wang's wife couldn't resist him and could only nod her head in agreement.
After Wang Ke came back, he drove the ferry with his grandfather for two days, then found a few friends, worked hard for a few months, and officially became an oyster farmer.
"Grandpa Wang, Grandma Wang, happy New Year!" Yu Jian greeted the New Year with a smile, and then greeted the Wang family's wife, "Aunt Zhang, happy New Year!"
Zhang Meili liked this girl from Lao Yu's family the most. She was good-looking and could read. He nodded with a smile and caught a handful of melon seeds with her.
"Is Brother Xiaoke here?" Yu Jian poked her head and looked into the room.
"Here you are! I slept late yesterday and just got up! Wang Ke, come out quickly, A Jian is here!" Zhang Meili shouted inside, accompanied by the noise of firecrackers, and I don't know if the people inside heard it.
Wang Ke heard it, but he was too sleepy. After shaking for a long time, he reluctantly stood up from the sofa and walked out slowly.
…
"Uncle, I can show you my oyster farm first." Hearing that the Yu family wanted to buy oysters, Wang Ke cheered up instantly, told his mother, and drove them to the sea in the north of the village.
Field belt.
Xi'ao Village is surrounded by the sea, and the north side has been divided into large-scale breeding bases.
The survival of oysters has extremely high requirements on water quality. Seawater temperature, water quality and salinity, if one link is missing, fat and tender oysters cannot be grown.
This batch of oysters was brought from Yangcheng by Wang Ketuo's friend. They waited for a period of time in the sea farm to spawn. In May, they were bundled with one-meter-long bamboo poles. After the oysters spawned, the seedlings were collected and dispersed.
Insert into low tide area.
After several months of growth, it is now the season for eating oysters.
Yu Jianping carefully observed the Wang family's breeding base and watched Wang Ke pull out a long string of oysters from the water, each one as big as a round shell.
I used a knife to cut it open, and it was full of local white meat.
"Uncle, try it?" Wang Ke handed one to Yu Jianping. These oysters just came out of the water are the freshest.
Yu Jianping was also unambiguous. He took it and poured it into his mouth. The oyster meat was plump and tender, and the sea water was slightly salty. When he ate it, he actually had a creamy taste in his mouth.
"It's delicious!" Yu Jianping couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
Oyster meat of this texture is stir-fried over high heat with ginger and scallion, and it is so delicious that it will make you swallow it on your tongue without even adding salt.
Yu Jianping took Wang Ke aside and discussed the issues of price and purchase quantity in detail.
"The village has changed a lot." Facing the sea breeze, Dad Yu looked at the sea level in the distance, where there were fishing boats parked there. He thought of the bustling fishing market and sighed.
Yu Jian looked at his face, suddenly feeling the joy in his words, and smiled unconsciously. The father and daughter listened to the sound of the waves and bathed in the warm winter sun.
Life will always get better and better, and the fishing village will one day become another prosperous place.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Yu Jianguo and Yu Jianping were preparing to return to the capital. Yu Jianping was full of interest when they left. On this trip home, he not only paid homage to his godfather, but also provided most of the seafood ingredients for the restaurant.
Before leaving, he secretly stuffed Yu Jian with a big red envelope and whispered to her: "This is a kickback for you~"
As he said that, he pointed at Yu Jianguo, who didn't know anything about it...
