On another weekend, Xu Suizhu teased the little bun and faced the afterglow of the setting sun as he returned to his home in the fishing village.
After the New Year, the couple moved into the newly renovated Xu family's old house.
A new year, a new beginning.
The newly renovated old house is quite pleasant to live in.
After arriving home, Xu Suizhu released the octopus cleaning guards and let them clean up and down, inside and out, while she pushed the little bun and locked the courtyard door to her aunt's house.
"You're back, Suisui? Come here, my aunt will hold you!" Xu Xiuyuan happened to be at home. When she saw her niece and grandnephew coming to the door, she happily came out to greet her.
"I knew you would come back this week." Xu Xiuyuan smiled and wrinkled her eyes.
"What if I become a god?" Xu Suizhu joked.
"Where!" Xu Xiuyuan said with a smile, "She is the daughter-in-law of the Wang family in the village. She chatted with me yesterday and told me that the winning of the English competition in the town was all due to you. You have done so much, why can't you give it to me on Sunday?
Are you on holiday?"
Xu Suizhu was made laugh by her aunt.
"The wife of the Wang family also said that her son didn't like to study at first. Since you came, he has not only studied hard, but also been very considerate of the family. If he really fails the college entrance examination, he plans to go fishing with his father, and you said that all roads lead to different horses.
...Is this what you taught me?"
The surname is Wang? That should be Wang Yongjie.
Xu Suizhu helplessly raised her forehead, "Didn't I advise them not to be downcast? The college entrance examination is not the only way out. There are many possibilities in the future."
"Speaking of a way out, have the two kids who went to Guangcheng to become stars last year written to you? Their family received a letter the day before yesterday, and they specially brought a bag of tangerines over. Your uncle and I tasted a few. They were so sweet.
It’s very good, I’ll leave the rest for you to take to town to eat tomorrow.”
"Zhou Dongwei and Chen Xuyang, right? They wrote to me, but they are very busy these days and haven't replied to them yet."
While she was talking, she followed her aunt's eyes and saw a snakeskin bag of tangerines in the corner. She couldn't help but twitch her mouth. How could she finish eating so much?
"It's enough for me to bring three to five kilograms to give to my colleagues to try. You guys can keep the rest and eat them slowly."
"I'm afraid there are five to sixty kilograms here. We won't be able to eat it as food. It will rot if left for a long time."
"Then make it into canned sugar water. Cuicui and Zhuangzhuang will definitely like it."
"Okay, I listen to you."
"Uncle went to sea?" Xu Suizhu didn't see his uncle at home.
"No, we're at the fishing ground. Do you want to go take a look?"
"Okay, I haven't visited it since school started. How is business lately?"
"good."
Xu Suizhu knew that her aunt was not used to talking full words, but looking at the smile on her face, she knew that the business of the fishery should be good since the contract was contracted.
The aunt and nephew came to Nanwan Fishing Ground with their baby in their arms.
Originally a large collective fishing ground, it has been divided into large and small areas since it was contracted.
The Lin family's fishing ground is at the southernmost point. Along the way, we met several villagers.
Seeing them all greeting them with smiles and enthusiasm, Xu Suizhu was very puzzled.
Xu Xiuyuan curled her lips, "What's the reason? I learned that you need to hire people for land reclamation and planting on Fuju Island, and I wanted to sign up on behalf of my relatives."
Xu Suizhu suddenly realized, she said, when they met before, they said hello to familiar faces and passed by strangers. Never had they been so enthusiastic.
However, it is necessary to recruit workers on Fuju Island. Otherwise, she and her aunt's family would develop such a big island to the end of the world.
"I'm not familiar with the uncles and aunts in the village. It's up to you to take care of this matter."
"If you don't tell me, I will check it for you. Don't look at everyone who smiles like Maitreya Buddha. Some of them are very thoughtful. Not all relatives in the family are hardworking and uncomplaining. They pay people to do the work, but they are here to do the work.
It's not for them to cheat... Anyway, I will keep an eye on this matter."
While talking, the Lin family fishing ground arrived.
Lin Guodong saw them from afar, walked over with a smile, and reached out to hug him, but Xu Xiuyuan dodged him.
"Look at your dirty hands, wash them before hugging them."
Lin Guodong smiled innocently, and then asked, "By the way, Suisui, do you like wild yellow croaker? Take two back, steam them at night, and get some tender meat for Doudou to try."
"Wild yellow croaker?" Xu Suizhu's eyes lit up, "This thing is rare. Did my uncle catch it?"
"No." Xu Xiuyuan explained quickly, "Didn't there be a strong wind a few days ago? After the storm calmed down, I found a group of large yellow croakers in the farm. They must have been brought in by the waves. I was lucky, and they were big. I sent them as a gift.
I sent a box to the provincial capital, and your uncle wants to keep the remaining ones for a while. Maybe when the weather warms up, the croakers will give birth."
Xu Suizhu laughed, "That's really good! If we have a few more waves like this, we won't even need to buy fry."
Xu Xiuyuan laughed, "You girl, if you take advantage of this kind of thing once, you will be very happy. Do you want to take advantage of it again and again? You really think that the sea belongs to our family."
"Hey hey hey..."
At noon that day, there was a plate of wild large yellow croaker with delicious and tender meat on the Lin family's dining table.
Xu Suizhu picked some tender meat to feed her son.
Little Baozi seemed to be a foodie. One bite of fresh and tender fish was not enough. He screamed and wanted to eat, and he almost jumped out of the car.
I was so anxious that I miraculously made a "ma" sound.
"Oh, we Doudou can call mom!" Xu Xiuyuan was even more excited than Xu Suizhu, a mother.
Xu Suizhu gently pinched the tip of her son's nose, "Bad boy, I yelled when I was greedy. Why don't I yell at you normally?"
"As long as you know how to shout, it's okay. They say boys talk late, and some don't know how to call parents when they are one year old. We, Doudou, will be able to shout when we are more than half a year old. We will be smart in the future!"
No matter how smart she was, Xu Suizhu didn't dare to feed her more, so she urged her aunt, and her uncle spread his arms and ate them while they were hot, while she slowly fed the little buns and occasionally took a bite herself.
Xu Xiuyuan put a lot of fish into her niece's rice bowl, but she didn't let the little bun see it.
Who made the little guy stare impatiently at the fish on the plate, urging Xu Suizhu to feed it faster?
After Xiao Baozi had eaten three or four bites of the fish, all that was left of the yellow croaker on the plate was its skeleton.
The little bun is wailing and moaning, and even acting coquettishly is of no use. If it's gone, it's gone.
"Okay, Doudou likes to eat. I'll fish again next time. No more now. Is Doudou full?"
"Ugh..." Little Baozi pursed his lips and touched his belly.
My stomach is full - I had a bowl of steamed eggs with milk before the meal, and there was fish and rice cereal on the table, so my belly was swollen.
But I am not satisfied, I still want to eat! Suck it! I want to eat tender fish meat, fresh fish soup...
The adults were amused by the cute expression of the little bun.
"It seems that Doudou is really a seaside person like us. He likes to eat fish from the sea at such a young age."
"Grow up Doudou quickly, my aunt will prepare delicious food for you every day."
"Auntie will take you on a boat to go for a ride on the sea."
