Those who got up early in the morning to catch the sea had already harvested a lot, and they all went home one after another.

Song Ranran didn't expect much gain from rushing to sea at this time.

She just enjoys the process of catching the sea, and is very happy if she occasionally picks up a piece of seafood.

Gu Beicheng was very patient. After demonstrating the correct arm stroking method, he began to carefully help Gu Aiguo and Gu Aimin adjust their postures.

Gu Aiguo and Gu Aimin gradually mastered the skills of treading water. Although their paddling movements were still a bit clumsy, they could at least swim.

Over time, they began to enjoy the feeling of floating freely in the water.

"Mother Song, we learned how to swim!"

"Mother Song, it's so fun, let's play together!"

Gu Aiguo and Gu Aimin swam in the sea excitedly.

The environment can really change a person's personality. Gu Aiguo is not as taciturn and deep-hearted as when they first met.

Song Ranran raised her eyebrows and smiled at Gu Beicheng, shaking her head in rejection at Aiguo and Aimin.

Song Ranran wore a white floral bougie today.

As soon as she got in the water, the fabric clung to her proud figure, making her more charming than not wearing it at all.

Today is a day off, and there are not only women and children around, but also men who come here specifically to swim.

Women in this era are still very conservative. It is impossible for her to be looked at with evil eyes just for temporary happiness.

"Your doggy style swimming is too ugly. Let's see who can swim faster with your brother."

Gu Beicheng thought of Song Ranran wet in the hot spring, his Adam's apple sliding up and down uncontrollably.

After taking one look at Gu Aiguo's standard swimming posture, he turned to look at Gu Aimin, who could only paddle with a dog, shook his head and laughed.

"My brother is much better than me, but I can't swim against him."

Gu Aimin looked at Aiguo changing various postures with envy and sighed.

His brother learned everything faster than him, and Gu Aimin was used to it. He turned around and continued to learn doggy style swimming.

There were not many seafood on the beach. Song Ranran looked at the various small and exquisite shells on the beach, and she thought of handmade wind chimes.

Song Ranran's heart moved, and she knelt down and started picking up the shells that she thought looked good.

There are most white shells on the beach, and occasionally you can pick up colorful shells.

There are red, pink, yellow and light brown.

There are striped shapes, large spots, threads and dark brown zigzag patterns, all kinds of shells, colorful.

"Mother Song, this shell is so big."

Aiguo handed the big shell he found to Song Ranran.

"You don't want to swim anymore? This shell is really big."

Song Ranran looked at the big shell in front of her and compared it with her hands. This shell was several times bigger than her palm.

"This is a pearl oyster. There may be pearls inside."

Gu Beicheng was carrying half a bucket of oysters. Each of the oysters in it was very large. It was estimated that one weighed several kilograms.

"Patriot, if there are any pearls in this shell, I'll keep them for you to use as a wife in the future."

There are no tools to open shells now. After Song Ranran put the pearl oysters into the aluminum bucket, she looked at Aiguo and said with a smile.

"Mother Song, I don't want a wife, so this shell is for you."

Gu Aiguo squatted down next to Song Ranran and helped her pick out complete and beautiful shells.

"Then I'd like to thank you first. If I find pearls when I get back, I'll make them into jewelry and wear them every day. This is what my good son respects."

"Mother Song, Father Gu and I are picking oysters."

“Our Aimin family is also great!”

"Brother Beicheng, it seems to be raining now. Today's barbecue picnic will be ruined. Let's go back quickly."

There is no weather forecast now. I thought it would be a sunny day before we went out, but it started to rain before noon.

Fortunately, I drove here today. When I got home, it didn't rain over the family's courtyard.

Song Ranran looked at the sunny sky, thinking that it might have rained in some areas before.

Gu Beicheng looked at Song Ranran who was looking up in a daze, scratched her nose and asked her what she wanted to eat.

"The main dish is to heat up the leftover steamed buns from the morning, and then have garlic steamed oysters, spicy stir-fried baby octopus, chive omelette, garlic greens, seaweed and egg drop soup."

Song Ranran looked at Gu Aimin who looked curious, quickly placed the aluminum bucket on the ground beside the water pressure well, and said.

"hehe!"

Gu Beicheng laughed softly, followed Song Ranran with half a bucket of oysters, and helped her press the water.

"Aimin, come and light the fire."

After Gu Beicheng finished pressing the water, he stopped Aimin who wanted to be lazy.

"Dad Gu, I have a brother who can cook the fire. He can cook it better than me."

Gu Aimin stopped walking to the rabbit house and winked at Gu Aiguo.

"Patriots want to wash shells with me."

Song Ranran smiled as she watched Aimin wink and try to avoid working.

In the end, Gu Aimin did not escape the task of lighting the fire, and followed Gu Beicheng into the kitchen listlessly.

Song Ranran shook her head in amusement, and led Gu Aiguo to start cleaning the shells in the aluminum bucket.

Song Ranran took out two brushes from the shelf, handed one to Gu Aiguo, and used the brush to clean the sand on the surface of the shell and the moss in the gaps.

Put the cleaned shells into the dustpan. The colorful shells reflect the charming brilliance under the sunlight.

The remaining oysters and pearl oysters needed a knife. Song Ranran got up and went into the kitchen to find the knife she had used to open the oysters.

When she came out, Song Ranran looked at Gu Aiguo, who was squatting obediently by the bucket, and knew that he wanted to see if there were any pearls in the pearl oyster.

Song Ranran inserted a knife into the gap between the shells and pried it hard, and she easily opened the pearl shell.

The pearl sac inside the white shell flesh was bulging. Song Ranran squeezed it hard with both hands, and a pink, round pearl rolled from the bead sac into the aluminum bucket.

Song Ranran washed the pearls with water in the aluminum bucket, rubbed all the viscous liquid on the pearls, and showed them to Gu Aiguo.

A pearl larger than her thumb lay quietly in the palm of her hand.

"Mother Song, what kind of jewelry can this pink pearl be used for?"

"It depends on how many pearls there are in the shell meat. If it's of similar quality, it can be made into a set of pearl jewelry."

Song Ranran continued to squeeze the bead sac inside the shell, and then squeezed out two pink pearls.

"There is one round pink pearl and two flat pink pearls."

"Two oblate pearls can be made into rings or earrings. This perfect pink pearl can be made into a necklace."

"But I don't have a drilling machine at home, and I don't know how to inlay it. I will find a master to make it into jewelry later."

Compared with artificial pearls, natural pearls without artificial intervention are not so round in appearance.

The core of natural pearls is mostly made of natural quartz sand.

The core of cultured pearls is artificially made and placed inside the shell meat.

Nowadays, people don’t even have enough to eat, and no one is cultivating pearls.

The color and shape of natural pearls are relatively random. The perfect pink pearl on Song Ranran's hand is very rare.
