When the time comes, those who should go to work go to work, and those who should go to school also go to school.

The old lady who took advantage of her was also taken away by the honest-looking Zhang Jiabao.

Calm returned to the courtyard, and Gu Beicheng looked at his little wife with admiration.

He was currently secretly watching Song Ranran while discussing with Wang Xiaolei where to start building the wall.

Song Ranran was just about to go back to the house to rest for a while when she heard someone calling her at the door:

"Song Ranran, are you at home?"

Song Ranran walked out of the yard, opened the door, and saw Aunt Zhao, who delivered firewood, standing at the door carrying a large bucket.

"Aunt Zhao, come in and talk!"

"No, I will go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables in the afternoon. You are not familiar with it just here. If you want to go, I can take you to see it."

"Now is the peak season for catching seafood. Seafood in the afternoon is half cheaper than in the morning. You can buy more and dry it to eat in the winter."

Aunt Zhao, whose clothes are white from washing, can be seen at first glance as a very frugal person.

"Okay, Aunt Zhao, wait for me for a while. I'll go to the kitchen and get a bucket and go with you."

Song Ranran had only seen the sea a few times in her previous life, and had never bought seafood.

Her home always has pre-made vegetables, and she buys fruits online. She has never even been to the vegetable market.

When Song Ranran returned to the courtyard, she told Gu Beicheng that she was going to the vegetable market to buy seafood with Aunt Zhao, and then went into the kitchen to get an aluminum bucket.

Gu Beicheng smiled and shook his head. This was really the first time he saw someone who was so happy when going shopping for groceries, like a child.

"The sun is strong outside. I'll put on your straw hat first. It's too hot. Come back early."

He took off the hat on his head and put it on Song Ranran who was about to go out.

"I got it, brother Beicheng!"

Song Ranran smelled the manly straw hat on her head, but she didn't dislike it. She straightened her hair and waved to him while jogging.

"Aunt Zhao, I don't know the way. You lead the way."

Song Ranran carried the newly purchased aluminum bucket and walked towards Aunt Zhao.

"Okay, the seafood in the afternoon is smaller than the seafood in the morning, but they all taste the same."

"When this girl gets married, she has to learn to plan carefully. You can't squander like you did yesterday."

"Yesterday, I only saw you for a few minutes and you scattered several kilograms of candies. People in our family home are lucky. The men all have high incomes. If you are like this outside, be careful that someone comes to your house every day to take advantage."

Aunt Zhao reminded Song Ranran with earnest words and quickly led the way to the vegetable market.

"Thank you, Aunt Zhao, for reminding us. It's our first time here and we don't have anything to entertain, so we'll give you the candies sent by Yanjing City to try."

Before coming to the island, Song Ranran planned to create an image on the island of people with money and laziness.

Lay the foundation for her future laziness and collecting seafood.

The two of them walked for about twenty minutes before arriving at the vegetable market.

"Spanfish, abalone, and yellow croaker are sold cheaply, five cents a pound. If they are not fresh, there is no charge!"

"Beans, luffa, and green beans cost a penny a pound, all picked fresh in the morning."

"Lychees, mangoes, and jackfruit are two cents a pound. If they're not sweet, there's no charge."

Song Ranran and the others had just arrived at the vegetable market when they heard all kinds of cries.

The island's vegetable market is actually a place specially enclosed by the island's aborigines after the troops moved to the island.

There was only two or three basketball courts in front of us, and there were only about twenty fishermen and vegetable vendors in bamboo hats.

"The fish people here clearly mark the prices, and they are childish. We buy them separately, which is faster."

Aunt Zhao's family has many children. The eight members of her family live on her husband's salary alone. They also have to pay for foster care for two elderly people in the countryside every month. Life is quite difficult.

If there weren't too many children and she couldn't get away in the morning and needed to take care of the children in the evening, she wouldn't come to the market to buy seafood and would go straight to the beach.

Having just had lunch, Song Ranran was not in a hurry, she wanted to see what was on sale.

After visiting all the stalls, she walked to a middle-aged man who had just brought a cart over and the seafood on the cart had not yet been placed on the stall.

"Uncle, how do you sell this seafood?"

Song Ranran asked, looking at the seafood that was one or two times larger than other restaurants.

"Other people's prices are five cents per catty, but mine cost eight cents per catty. The fishing boat leaked last night, and it took a lot of time to repair the boat, so it was sent to this market for sale."

The swarthy uncle with a tired face explained after sweating.

"If you can deliver it to your doorstep, you can weigh five or six pounds of all your seafood varieties for me."

"Uncle, do you have any dried seafood at home?"

The other seafood stalls were all sold by women. In this era, men still had the final say in making the big decisions. It would be better for her to directly find the black-faced uncle who went out to fish.

"How can your family finish all that seafood? Door-to-door delivery is fine. You girl, don't waste such good seafood."

"There are plenty of dried seafood, how much do you want? Dried seafood is more expensive, only 60 cents per pound, but they are all high-quality seafood."

The black-faced uncle suddenly became energetic and looked at the girl in front of him who was well dressed and had the best temperament and reminded him.

"Uncle, I think you can't sell much at this price. Nowadays, people who come here specifically to buy vegetables are looking for cheap ones. I've covered all your seafood."

"My home is at No. 6, Lane 2, Military Region Compound. I'll say hello to the guard when I get back later, and you can just take me there."

Song Ranran saw that the black-faced uncle in front of her was very honest and could directly make the decision. She was too lazy to ask family after family.

"Okay, if you pay for all the seafood, I'll give you five cents per pound. I'll deliver it to you now, and I'll deliver the dried seafood to you later."

It was the first time for the black-faced uncle to meet such a arrogant person. He felt that he no longer had to worry about not being able to sell the seafood he caught in the future.

"Then please calculate how much it will cost and I will give it to you later."

Who would bring so much money when going out to buy groceries? The uncle nodded to express his understanding.

"I have about five hundred kilograms of fish and shrimp here. I'll give you twenty-five yuan."

Now is the peak fishing season, so we can harvest so many fish and shrimps.

You can only go there once a week, and you can earn more than 80 to 90 yuan a month, excluding the food you eat at home.

I can fish half of the time a year, and I can earn five to six hundred yuan a year, which is higher than the salary of workers in the city.

However, they need to pay some fees every month before they can get a tag to go fishing.

At least two men are required for each fishing trip, and there is also the risk of encountering wind and waves.

"Okay, I'll go say hello to the neighbors and then leave."

Song Ranran was also very happy. Twenty-five yuan could buy so much fresh fish, shrimp, and crabs just off the boat.

"Girl, go ahead, I'm not in a hurry, you can just wait a little longer."

When the black-faced uncle saw that all the seafood had been sold today, his heart dropped and he became energetic.

Aunt Zhao also carefully selected in front of the seafood stall. It was rare for her family to buy seafood, so naturally she had to choose varieties with more meat.
