Listening to his mother's chatter, the little bun finally stopped crying and touched his little head curiously. The familiar soft fur was gone, and the tentacles had a slightly prickly feel.
Xu Suizhu comforted him: "It's okay, it will grow out in spring."
Boss Lu couldn't help being happy: "What do you think spring bamboo shoots are? They spring out of the ground as soon as the spring thunder hits and the spring rain hits."
"Shut up!" Xu Suizhu glared at him and turned to ask her son, "Baby, do we want to punish Dad? If he is not good, how about punishing him to eat less than a bowl of rice tonight?"
"It doesn't matter if you don't eat." Lu Chixiao took the initiative to ask for punishment, and then winked at the child's mother, "You're not going to eat tonight, right? You're going to have porridge during the Laba Festival. Teacher Xu still loves me."
Xu Suizhu: "..."
I really want to hit him.
The little bald bun was particularly cute this evening.
It was warm inside, and the old man even asked the bodyguard to cook the sweet potatoes in a smokeless charcoal pot.
Xu Suizhu took off his cotton hat and replaced him with a thin hat worn in spring.
As a result, the little guy probably felt too hot, so he took off his hat, revealing his shiny little bald head.
The old men were delighted: "Hey! Doudou shaved his head! How cute!"
Anyway, no matter what hairstyle he has, in the eyes of the old man, the fat great-grandson is the cutest.
The little bun covered his forehead with his hands, trying to cover it up.
The old men laughed even louder.
"Don't mention it, it's actually good to shave your head in winter. You'll save yourself from sweating and washing your hair! Once you wear a hat when you go out, no one will know that you have a bald head."
"No! How about some of us go get a shave tomorrow?"
"I am a bald commander, and we are bald commanders!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
When the little bun saw the old men enjoying themselves, he also enjoyed themselves.
Gradually, I no longer covered my forehead with my hands, and began to eat the warm sweet potatoes with my arms in my arms.
During the dinner, Lu Chixiao and the old men discussed the establishment of a security team by the Institute of Oceanology.
Xu Suizhu ate sweet potatoes with her son and looked through her notepad from time to time to see what else she had to do as the new year was approaching.
"What are you looking at? You are so attentive." After talking about business, Baozi's father sat over.
"Let's see what other tasks we have at the end of the year."
"Do you need my help?"
"Yes." Xu Suizhu was not polite to him, "Do you remember Xiao Zhuang Yi? I promised him that I would pick him up to come to our house to celebrate the New Year together during the winter vacation. In elementary school, I remember that I took the exam after Laba Festival, and after the exam, I took the winter vacation.
It's not like high school where you have to make up classes. But you have to go back and forth for at least two or three days. At the critical moment before the final exam, I can't get away, so you have to take it."
Lu Chixiao nodded: "It's a trivial matter to pick someone up."
"Not only that. I also want to buy a few stocks listed in Haicheng. Here are some stocks I have sorted out. When you go to Haicheng, stop by the exchange and have a look. If the price is lower than this, buy them all."
"Does the family still have money?" Mr. Lu was surprised, "Didn't I send it all to my eldest brother?"
Xu Suizhu exclaimed: "I have several baskets with eggs! The rent for this quarter has been collected. Although it is not much, it is quite a lot compared to the salary. Another thing, the mother-of-pearl is about to give birth to pearls. Mrs. Lin is better than me.
Remember, when I go to Kyoto this time, I asked my mother to give me the deposit first. If I add the two items together, won’t I have money?”
"What are you two talking about?" The old man couldn't help asking jokingly when he saw the two of them touching each other and muttering.
"Grandpa, I'm saying that the first batch of pearls will be cultivated soon." Xu Suizhu replied with a smile.
"Really? When will the pearls come out? Let's go and have a look. I've never seen a pearl just taken out of a clam shell!"
"But this season, the sea is very windy..." Xu Suizhu was worried that their bodies would not be able to bear it.
"Hey! It's nothing to be cold!" Mrs. Fu said happily while sipping her wine. "Think about the years we spent in the Northeast. It was cold. The wind whistled into my neck. No matter how much I wore,
Even my clothes can't block the coldness..."
"That's it. Compared with the Northeast, the coldness in other places is far away! Sui Sui, do you look down on us and think we are old and useless? You can't stand the coldness?" Mr. Li said.
What else could Xu Suizhu do? He could only say: "Then when the sun comes out and there is no wind, I will pick you up."
Thinking about this time a year ago, the cold air from Siberia moved southward from time to time. Although Yupu was much warmer than Kyoto, the wind on the sea was strong and it felt quite cold. Old men had better forget about this.
Unexpectedly, the old men were very persistent. After that, they often sent bodyguards to the town to ask: When will we go to Fuju Island to see pearls?
Xu Suizhu was defeated by them and took them to Fuju Island on an afternoon when there was little wind and no classes.
"Susuui, you're here!"
Wu Meili has also been very excited these days. After raising her oysters for more than half a year, the mother oyster is finally about to produce pearls, as if she is about to give birth in the tenth month of her pregnancy. When she has free time, she squats in the breeding farm and silently chants: Mazu bless you! I must do it.
The pearl came out smoothly and peacefully...
"I have prepared it a long time ago. The first batch of oysters have been picked up in the net while the weather is still warm. All I have to do is pull it up." Wu Meili rubbed her hands excitedly, "I thought you would have to wait until Sunday to come here when you are free.
Well, let’s start now?”
"Wait, sister-in-law, put on a pair of gloves." Xu Suizhu took out the flesh-colored rubber gloves he bought on this trip to Kyoto. The original black and rough leather gloves were a little hardened and leaked when wet. It made no difference whether he was wearing them or not.
"You are still thoughtful." Wu Meili smiled.
Lu Chixiao touched the water temperature: "The water is a bit cold, do you have to produce pearls on such a cold day? Wouldn't it be better to raise them for a while and then harvest them when the weather warms up in spring?"
Xu Suizhu used the knowledge he learned from the book to convince him: "Mother oysters must produce pearls in winter. Because the water temperature is low at this time, the rate of secretion of nacre by mother oysters slows down, and the surface layer of nacre secreted by mother oysters is more delicate, smoother and glossier.
good……"
"Then I'll do it." Boss Lu took over the job, "You teach me how to do it."
"The operation? Just pry open the mother oyster and dig out the pearls." Xu Suizhu laughed, "It doesn't require any technical content."
The boss is so funny, he thinks that producing pearls from a mother oyster is as complicated as giving birth to a sow! Hahaha!
Mr. Lu is embarrassed.
After I was embarrassed, I called the retired team members who came to work on the island and rounded up hundreds of mother-of-pearl oysters.
The old men rolled their sleeves and wanted to help, but Xu Xiuyuan coaxed them into drinking tea and cracking chestnuts in the house. In this weather, it is quite cold if your hands are wet for a long time. Let the young people do it.
"Then let's sit at the door and drink tea. It's not cold even under the sun. When the pearls are peeled off, let us see." The old boy was curious about the process of pearl extraction.
"Okay, okay." There is no difference between coaxing an old person and coaxing a child.
"Sui Sui, the pearls were dug out from this mother oyster. Can the meat still be eaten?" Wu Meili was reluctant to part with so much shell meat. "If you can't eat it, I will chop it into pieces and mix it with bait. Fuqi will definitely like it."
