My mother is stubborn and she will go back on her word when she gets back.

Compared to the gray world in the north, she prefers the prosperity and splendor here.

In the middle of the night, Liu Yiwen and Liu Yibang picked up their aunt and uncle.

When Xie Qingshu got home, she asked, "Where's Linghua?"

Liu Yiwen replied: "Aunt, Linghua went to the island with my mother and sister! It's just 12 o'clock now, you should wash up and rest first! I will take you there tomorrow morning."

"This little girl just likes to run around!" Xie Qingshu was very angry. Her daughter was too disobedient.

If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer.

Liu Yibang advised: "Aunt, the child is still young. You really can't be so tough on some things. Linghua is actually a very sensible child. She knows what she wants to do."

Xie Qingshu smiled bitterly, "I only have this daughter, I want her to live a peaceful life! If she follows her ideas, I don't know how much she will suffer and endure outside!"

She left home early and suffered a lot, and she didn't want her daughter to go through it again.

Liu Yibang advised: "Aunt, times have changed. What you arranged may not be what he wants! Besides, letting her do a job she doesn't like for the rest of her life may not make her happy even if she lives in peace and stability."

"You only have your cousin as your daughter. I understand why you want to keep her by your side. But this is not what Linghua wants."

"She was able to sneak out this time, and she will do it again in the future. She was lucky this time and didn't run into human traffickers. Will she be so lucky next time?"

Xie Qingshu covered her face and choked up, "Everything was arranged for her, but she just didn't like it! If we had had such an opportunity in the early years, why would we have suffered so much?"

"Children nowadays really don't know how to appreciate the blessings they have! They take our kindness as parents for granted! If they are not at ease, they make us worry!"

The brothers Liu Yiwen and Liu Yibang looked at each other and felt that their aunt's love was too heavy.

Before, they thought it was very wrong for Linghua to run away from home, but now after meeting her aunt, they realized that it takes two to tango.

This matter really can't be blamed entirely on Linghua.

Seeing that his aunt kept crying and his uncle kept smoking and sulking, Liu Yibang said to his second brother, "Second brother, show the video you took of Linghua to your aunt and uncle on TV!"

"Okay!" Liu Yiwen nodded, "Go cook some soft noodles that are easy to digest!"

"Okay!" Liu Yibang nodded. In order to prevent tragedy from happening again, they, as relatives, could only persuade both sides.

Liu Yiwen put the film in the machine and played it for his aunt and uncle. "The day after Linghua came, I took her to see a vocal teacher."

"This is the song she sang as a vocal teacher. Listen to it. Doesn't it sound like an eagle soaring in the sky, charging forward across the vast grassland?"

"Her singing voice is full of power. Although she is only 15 years old and her voice and singing skills are a bit immature, it cannot be denied that her singing voice is full of freedom and heroism."

"You can tell from her singing that she has a free soul! If you imprison her in a cage, she will either fade into obscurity or disappear from the world."

As the songs and images in the video played, Xie Qingshu's crying gradually subsided.

My uncle didn't say anything, stopped smoking, and looked carefully at his daughter inside.

There was some moisture in his eyes at this time. It was indeed as Liu Yiwen said, their daughter was an eagle, and she would not be happy if she was locked in a chicken coop.

My uncle rubbed his face with both hands and finally said, "Qingshu, let's stop scolding the child and just let her be! Her life is only a few decades long. Instead of being unhappy, it's better to let her live in joy every day. At least she is happy!"

Xie Qingshu nodded, "Alas! That's the only way! We don't have a good song and dance troupe in our area. Even if we bring her back, she won't be happy."

"But the child is still young. If he stays here, I will have to trouble my second sister and my second brother-in-law. It will take a few years for the two of us to retire. I am worried!"

Liu Yiwen smiled when he heard this, "Aunt, you don't have to worry about this! We have a music school here, it's a school!"

"Although Linghua can't pass the exam to get in, she can study there as a student and sit in on classes. Let her study there for three years first."

"My mother is a professor at the school. Although it's a different department, I can arrange for someone to go to school. It shouldn't be a problem if I don't ask for a degree."

"After three years, if Linghua can persevere, work hard enough and learn some skills, she can apply to join the art troupe, which is also a stable job."

"Since you are in school, you will go back during the winter and summer vacations. If you calculate it this way, you will be away for eight or nine months a year. You don't need to miss it too much."

When Xie Qingshu heard this, she looked at her husband and said, "Old Yang, what do you think?"

"It just causes trouble for my second sister and her husband." My uncle smiled and said politely.

"That's my sister. I'll tell you about this." Xie Qingshu said, "I'm a little worried about leaving my daughter to my younger sister. She's a carefree person. My second sister has been considerate since she was a child. I'm relieved."

"Although we have left our daughter with our second sister, we can't let her stay here for free. We have to pay her. Do you understand?"

The eldest uncle nodded quickly, "Of course, our daughter is so old now, and she needs money for food and clothes, so we can't let the second sister spend the effort and money."

Liu Yibang cooked a bowl of noodles, and after my aunt and uncle ate it, they went to bed.

The couple, having figured out their worries, relaxed completely and slept until ten o'clock the next morning.

Liu Yiwen had a job, and Liu Yibang brought people to the island.

In the morning, Linghua followed Liu Meilan like a little tail, "Sister Meilan, if my mother beats me, can you help me to stop the fight?"

"Okay, do it in front of me. If I see your aunt hitting you, I will pull her away immediately and will never let her hit you." Liu Meilan patted her little cousin's head to comfort the restless child.

"You don't have to stop the fight right away." Linghua pleaded quickly after hearing this, "My mother has a bad temper. If I don't let her beat me up, she will be angry all the time. Her health is not very good to begin with, and if she gets worse with anger, I will feel bad. Cousin, wait until my mother beats me a few times and vents her anger, then you can stop the fight."

Hearing this, Liu Meilan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You are very thoughtful."

Linghua smiled, "Of course, no matter what, my mother loves me the most, I can't let her be so angry."

How sensible the child is to say this!

"Hurry up and have breakfast. I'll take you to the beach later." Liu Meilan said with a smile, "If you have something to do, you won't be so nervous. When aunt and uncle come over, we'll treat them with the seafood we got from the beach."

When Linghua heard this, she was stunned, "Cousin, can we really pick up seafood?"

"Of course!" Liu Meilan nodded, "Carry the bucket and follow me."

Linghua was very obedient. She carried the bucket and went out with Liu Meilan.

When Wang Nuannuan and Xu Chongyang saw Liu Meilan going out to catch seafood, they told their parents and followed her.

With a child by her side, Liu Meilan cannot go to any dangerous place.

"Come, there are a lot of clams here, let's dig together." Liu Meilan found a place where there were more clams.

It was Linghua’s first time seeing the sea and everything seemed new to her.

When I saw the small hole, I took a shovel and started digging there.

I saw little Wang Nuannuan took out salt and sprinkled some salt on the small hole.

"Nuannuan, what are you doing?" Linghua dug for a long time but found nothing.

Wang Nuannuan smiled and said, "Sister, if you add salt, the clams will come out by themselves, so you don't have to dig them out."

"Is it so magical?" Linghua was amazed. She stopped digging and squatted on the side to watch.

After taking a look, Linghua's eyes widened. "Oh my god, this is amazing. Did the salt make these clams salty?"

"Yes!" Wang Nuannuan replied.

"This is the sea, there is salt, why are you afraid of salt?" Linghua asked.

Wang Nuannuan blinked her eyes. "The salt content is too high. It's too salty. People can't stand it. Even clams can't stand it."

"Oh! So that's how it is!" Linghua blinked and saw the clam popping out, "Catch it quickly!"

“Wait a minute, let it crawl out again.” Wang Nuannuan tried to stop it, and when most of the clam had come out, she pulled it out with her hands.

Linghua followed suit and caught one after another, screaming with excitement. She forgot all her previous nervousness and fear, and her eyes were full of these little cuties.

Liu Meilan found a puddle, which contained many blue crabs and a kind of good fish.

She started pouring water out with a bucket.

Linghua and Wang Nuannuan caught half a bucket of clams, and Xu Chongyang also came to help.

There is strength in numbers, and soon the water level in the puddle gradually dropped.

Linghua was curious, "Cousin, there are big crabs in it, and there are a lot of them! Oh my God, I love eating crab fried rice cakes."

I had Ryoka with Crab and Rice Cake last night and fell in love with it instantly.

Oh my God, there are things in this world that taste better than mutton.

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "I'll make you steamed crabs for lunch today. They taste great. Hurry up and work, don't dawdle."

Seeing hope, everyone worked harder.

After a while, the tank was empty.

Liu Meilan picked up the crabs and put them in the bucket, "Nuannuan, Chongyang, don't come down, pick up the fish up there."

Linghua jumped down and caught a fish. "Cousin, this grey fish looks good. What is it called?"

Liu Meilan replied: "This is called grayfin snapper. In some places, it is also called cow dung. This fish is also called black cow or black fin in other places." (Picture)

Linghua asked hurriedly: "Cousin, is this fish delicious?"

Liu Meilan smiled and replied, "This kind of fish has a soft texture and tastes delicious! I'll catch it and cook it for you at noon today!"

This fish is very adaptable and can tolerate a wide range of temperatures and salinities.

However, death will occur when the temperature drops below five degrees.

This fish is sensitive, suspicious, and highly alert, and is a very greedy fish.

It can eat fish, shellfish and seaweed, and is an omnivorous fish.

The young fish of this kind of fish like to live in groups in estuaries, and after reaching adulthood, they swim out to the ocean.

This fish is also very interesting!

It is a hermaphrodite, first male and then becomes female.

Many fishermen catch fish fry at the estuary and then transfer them to Xiangwang or ponds for breeding. It is a very easy to breed fish and is very popular because of its low price.

Linghua stared at the fish. "Cousin, these fish were silver-gray just now, why did they turn dark black-gray now? Did they go bad because of the hot weather?"

Liu Meilan smiled and explained, "No, it hasn't gone bad. Some fish are one color when they are in the water, and they turn into another color when they are out of the water. This is very normal."

Liu Meilan was putting the fish into buckets as she spoke. She had already harvested quite a lot.

Just as they were about to leave, Wang Nuannuan pointed to the mangroves not far away and said, "Sister Meilan, they haven't been to the mangroves for a long time! Why don't we go over there and look for some good fish? Maybe we can find some good fish."

Seeing that they were so excited, Liu Meilan did not want to spoil their fun and nodded, "Okay, I'll take you there!"

There are many people at home today, so Liu Meilan decided to get more seafood, which will be fresh and save money.

There are indeed good things over there in the mangroves, and we should be able to harvest more today.

Liu Meilan and Linghua carried buckets, while Wang Nuannuan and Xu Chongyang carried tools and walked towards the mangroves.

As soon as they arrived at the mangrove forest, Wang Nuannuan exclaimed and pointed into the water, "Sister Meilan, come here quickly! There's a big red fish over here!"

Liu Meilan rushed over with a fishing net. She had just seen them, so she brought them here on purpose.

Liu Meilan put the bucket on the ground and rushed over with a strong and large scoop net.

This is a red scorpionfish about 70 centimeters long. (Photo)

Liu Meilan moved very quickly and accurately and caught the red scorpion fish in the net.

It is very fresh when it just comes out of the water and its resistance is very fierce.

Generally, young fish like to live at the junction of mangroves and fresh water.

Could it be that this fish has already grown up? And it appears here. This fish must weigh more than ten kilograms.

"Sister Meilan, what kind of fish is this? Is it delicious?" Wang Nuannuan asked hurriedly.

Linghua also listened curiously.

Liu Meilan replied: "This is called red scorpionfish, and its scientific name is purple snapper. The meat of this fish is smooth and tender, but a little rough. However, it has a fragrant taste, is meaty and has little bones, and the fish meat is plump and delicious."

This wild red scorpionfish has a very shiny body.

There are also farmed red scorpionfish now. The appearance of wild and farmed ones is not much different, but the farmed fish is fatter and less streamlined, and the fish meat is not firm and has a rougher texture.

It is not delicate and smooth enough when eaten, and the taste lacks sweetness.

This is why everyone likes to eat wild seafood. It tastes different from farmed seafood and has a different texture.

Correspondingly, the price of wild seafood is also higher. People who know how to eat seafood mostly go to the dock to buy seafood. Some people buy seafood at the vegetable market that is far less fresh than the one bought at the dock. There are also more farmed fish in the vegetable market.

The fins of young fish are mainly dark brown and red, with seven or eight silver horizontal bands on the sides of the body, which gradually disappear as they grow.

All in all, it was a nice tasting fish.

Today is a blessed day.

Afterwards, they caught two thick and strong eels, and then Liu Meilan took them home.

I haven’t gone to the beach for such a long time, and today I got a lot!

Liu Meilan was particularly happy because she could have a delicious meal at noon.
