Wear it quickly! My mad dog-like host!

Fishermen's Bay, Pearl Island.

Several old wooden boats were parked on the coast, and several elderly fishermen were sorting out their worn-out fishing nets and checking whether the boats were damaged.

Not far away, a few children aged three or four were chasing the waves and giggling.

The children of the three women were among them. They were braver than the children of the fishermen nearby. They were tossed by the waves but refused to return to the shore. They were clapping their hands and shouting with joy.

"Oh my God!" The mother of one of the children exclaimed, her head buzzing, she felt dizzy, and then she fainted into the arms of the person following her.

"Hey, Goudan's mother, don't faint, your Goudan is still waiting for you to take care of him!"

As we all know, the more you yell at a child, the more he will run around.

The people present either had several children at home or had several brothers and sisters who had brought them up since childhood. They all knew what kind of people children were like, so they didn't call them directly. Instead, they pretended to come to the beach to pick up some seafood or something to add to their dishes when they got home.

As long as they don't go out to sea to fish, don't pick up the fish to sell, and just add some food to their homes, it doesn't count as speculation. The fishermen not far away glanced at them and ignored them.

The oldest of the three friends, Goudan, was only five years old. When they saw the adults seeing them playing at the beach, they looked scared at first. But the adults did not scold them. After testing the adults' tolerance a little, their fear soon dissipated.

In addition, there were several older children of the same age around Niu Wei, so they all came out of the sea with their short legs and came over, wanting the older children to take them out to play.

The adults watched for the right moment and grabbed the children who frightened them.

After a while, the sounds of adults scolding and slapping, as well as children crying loudly, could be heard on the beach.

"I told you to go to the beach! I'll beat you to death!"

"Tell me, who brought you here?!"

"Tiedan's mother, what do you mean by that? Your child has legs and got here on his own. Don't blame my child. My child was just caught halfway!"

There was a commotion on the beach. The fishermen who were sorting their fishing nets and fishing boats stopped what they were doing and looked over when they heard the noise.

The children of the local fishermen saw that their friends who had just played with them were beaten up by the adults, and they returned to the fishermen with some uneasiness.

Niu Wei and other older children looked at the adults beating and scolding their own children, and unreasonably accusing other people's children of bringing their own children to the beach, with guilt and fear on their faces.

Several people huddled behind Qianghua, their hearts filled with fear.

After the adults finished blaming each other, they thought about how their children had grown up with older kids like Niu Wei, and they rolled their eyes, wanting to get something good from them.

They don’t have it, but their parents do!

But when they turned around, they were met with Qianghua's indifferent eyes, which looked like she was watching a show. Their hearts suddenly skipped a beat for no reason, and they lowered their heads guiltily.

In the end, they did not have time to cause trouble for the fishermen's children, and they did not have a good look at Niu Wei and the others who had kindly informed them. They left with the crying children, cursing.

Niu Wei and the others looked depressed.

Qianghua ignored them and walked towards the old fishermen.

The old fishermen thought she was here to cause trouble and subconsciously tightened the repair tools in their hands.

"Is there any fresh seafood?" Qianghua asked directly.

There was no high tide or low tide, and there were only some small shellfish buried under the sand on the beach.

The old fishermen were startled and quickly said, "Yes, yes, yes, what do you want? How much do you want?"

The fishermen on Pearl Island also operate a collective economy, but seafood is difficult to preserve, the demand on the island is limited, and seafood will become lifeless if it is out of sea water for half a day. Without ice to keep it fresh, it will almost go bad when it is sent to the supply and marketing cooperative department store in the city, which is half a day's journey away, and it will not sell for much money.

The same goes for dried fish. Transportation is really bad these days. Even if there is demand in the mainland, it cannot be shipped out!

In addition, there is limited planting land on the islands, and they still have to complete tasks. If there are strict regulations that fishermen cannot keep seafood for themselves, or can only keep enough seafood to feed their families, it is hard to say what they can do without the supply of commercial grain.

Seeing others enjoying light while one’s own food and clothing cannot even be guaranteed, no matter who one is, his or her moral bottom line will not be high.

Qianghua: "Can you deliver it to your door?"

Hearing that the number was not small, the old fishermen nodded quickly, "Yes."

"There's no limit to the type of seashells. I want 50 kilograms. Pick some good sea fish. Fresh ones are best. If not available, dried fish will do. I want about 30 kilograms. Have it delivered to the family quarters of Mingzhu Hospital in the evening." Qianghua gave the address.

She wants a lot, but it’s not difficult for a village to get enough.

"I'll exchange cloth coupons or food coupons with you."

When the old fishermen heard that they were cloth coupons and food coupons, their eyes lit up.

They have no shortage of seafood, but seafood is not very oily. The more they eat, the hungrier they feel. They have already been hurt by it. A bowl of rice porridge that cannot fill their stomachs is better than letting them eat enough seafood.

"Okay, we'll deliver it to you on time in the evening!" The old fishermen promised happily, patting their chests.

After getting the confirmation, Qianghua lost interest in basking in the sun and said to Niu Wei and the others, "Are you guys going back?"

The few of them no longer had the heart to play outside and were eager to go back.

"Back!"

So Qianghua took them and the two investigators who had been observing her behind her back to the family compound.

It goes without saying that the remaining investigator was going to check whether there was anything hidden in the seafood she ordered.

at dusk.

Qianghua sat under the eaves and teased Xiaoba.

Three old fishermen and two silly-looking young men came to the door with seafood and smiles on their faces.

The price for 80 kilograms of seafood is surprisingly reasonable.

"Comrade Qian, why are you changing so many shelled ones?" Sister Cuixiang heard the noise and couldn't help but walk outside the yard to ask.

Qianghua: "Eat it."

"I see that Wen Yao works so hard in the hospital, so I'll give her some supplements."

Sister Cuixiang: "But this stuff is not oily at all. The more you eat it, the thinner you get. How can it nourish your body?"

When she first came to the island to settle down with her husband, she didn't have much money. She often went to the beach to pick up seafood to add to the family's dishes, but not only could she not get used to the fishy smell, but the children in the family also lost a lot of weight after eating too much.

Qianghua smiled but didn't explain, "Is Honghong at home? I want to ask her to help deal with these things."

When Sister Cuixiang heard that she wanted to ask her daughter for help, she nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, I'll go call her right away."

I had helped make more than a dozen sets of clothes before, and not only was I paid, but all the scraps of cloth were left to her. She picked them up and mended them, and made a top for each of the two children in the family, and also bought a few more pairs of shoes.

Knowing that there are benefits, she naturally would not be hypocritical and feel ashamed to work for a young girl.

After all, Old Liu is the only one in her family who has a stable salary, but he has to support two elderly people in his hometown, as well as their family of two adults and four children. How can he be picky?

After a while, Liu Honghong came over carrying a wooden bucket, followed by her youngest brother, who was four years old.

She smiled shyly, and after asking about Qianghua's request, she rolled up her sleeves and deftly picked up the seafood on the ground.

Her younger brother was not idle either. He was very sensible and busy helping to make fire and fetch water.
