Jiang Xia stayed up all night reading a retro-themed novel. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself as the male protagonist’s doomed ex-wife in that very story.
Her storyline began ...
Chapter 208 Today's harvest is good
Everyone ran to see the motorcycle; Tian Caihua, Zhou's mother and Zhou Chengxin couldn't help but run over to see it as well.
When Jiang Xia saw that Zhou's mother brought buckets and other tools for fishing, he quickly asked her for a bucket and a pair of tongs, and then went to fish.
After Jiang Xia brought baskets and other things to go fishing last time, Zhou's mother and Tian Caihua now have complete equipment when they go fishing, even fishing nets are prepared.
Zhou's mother directly gave both buckets in her hands to Jiang Xia.
Zhou Chenglei answered two questions from the villagers and became impatient to deal with them. He handed the motorcycle keys and the backpack to his father and asked his father to deal with it.
Anyway, his father never gets tired of this kind of thing.
Zhou Chenglei warned: "Dad, keep an eye on the bag and don't get the things inside wet."
"Okay!" Zhou's father took it happily, thinking that it was the book translated by Youqian and Jiang Xia. He put it on his back, placed it in front of him, and held it with his hands.
Father Zhou wanted to take Zhou Bingqiang, who was as irritable as a chameleon, for a ride on his motorcycle to relax him.
But Zhou's father found out that he had never ridden a motorcycle and didn't know how to ride one!
Father Zhou looked at Zhou Bingqiang, whose expression became more complicated, and couldn't help thinking: Wouldn't it be too stupid to let Zhou Bingqiang sit on the motorcycle and push him around the village to show off? Father Zhou wanted Zhou Chenglei to teach him how to drive, he thought it should be similar to riding a bicycle, but he found that the unfilial son had already run off to find Wangcai!
Forget it, the couple loves each other very much, congratulations on making a fortune!
Maybe the two of them can earn back the money they spent on buying the motorcycle today by going to the beach.
He won't bother you anymore.
Showing off is not as important as getting rich!
Only when you become rich can you show off.
Always get rich, always show off!
Tian Caihua looked at the brand new motorcycle and felt envious!
But when she thought about the two or three hundred yuan she was earning every day, she smiled: her family could afford it!
A villager asked Zhou's father to take him for a ride on his motorcycle, but Zhou's father said, "Some other day! Some other day! A Lei doesn't know how to take care of things! Look at how muddy he got all over his new motorcycle. I'll clean it up first, and when the weather is clear and the road is harder, I'll take you for a ride!"
So Zhou's father ran to the purchasing office to borrow a rag and carefully wiped the mud off the motorcycle.
Even the gaps are not spared, so that everyone can see how shiny the new motorcycle is!
***Jiang Xia got off the beach and saw that there were many people on the beach, so he walked towards the rocks.
There were numerous small holes on the beach, probably because many shellfish had been washed ashore. Everyone was trying hard to dig them out with small rakes.
Shellfish can be picked up on the beach of the isolated island by boat. Jiang Xia decided not to compete with others and went to the reef to see if there were any good things.
There were also several people on the reef.
Zhou Chenglei caught up with her, grabbed her wrist, and squeezed it punishingly: "You're disobedient!"
He told her not to go to the rocks, but she ran straight over there! He took the bucket from Jiang Xia, held it in his other hand, and then pulled her along.
Jiang Xia glanced at him, smiled and joked: "I feel something calling me over there on the reef!"
Zhou Chenglei couldn't do anything with her, so he pulled her towards the rocks.
As soon as the two arrived at the reef, Jiang Xia saw a big butter crab crawling out from the crevice of the rock.
"There are crabs!" Jiang Xia shook Zhou Chenglei's hand.
Zhou Chenglei saw it, it was a butter crab, a very big one. The butter crabs in this season are the most delicious.
He motioned Jiang Xia to stand still, then squatted down, and before the butter crab hid back into the crevice, he quickly pressed down its crab shell and caught it.
This butter crab is very big, bigger than his palm, and the joints of the crab legs are golden and swollen.
He pressed it with his hand and found it a little soft, proving that the ointment had melted into oil.
Zhou Chenglei carefully placed the crabs into the bucket. The legs of this oily butter crab cannot be broken, otherwise the crab oil will leak out during the steaming process.
Jiang Xia loves eating crabs. I’ll steam some for her when I get home tonight.
He reached out and took Jiang Xia's hand, and the two continued to search carefully among the rocks.
Zhou Chenglei spotted another crab leg retracting into the crack of the reef. "There's another crab. Stand still."
"Where?" Jiang Xia stopped and looked around.
"In the rock." Zhou Chenglei waited until she stood up before squatting down. This reef could be moved, so he simply moved the entire reef away.
The reef was very large and he moved it easily.
After the stone was moved away, four palm-sized butter crabs seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then began to crawl around.
Jiang Xia's eyes lit up: Did they disturb the butter crab's nest? She quickly squatted down and reached out to grab it.
Zhou Chenglei also grabbed one in each hand and put them in the bucket.
Jiang Xia looked at the five large butter crabs in the bucket with a smile: "It's a good harvest today!"
Jiang Xia loves eating crabs, and she can also tell that this butter crab is a top-quality butter crab.
The crab oil has penetrated into the joints. Wild top-grade marine oil crabs can be sold for more than 2,000 yuan each in modern times, and you can't eat them whenever you want.
They picked up 10,000 yuan in the future at once.
The two continued to move forward, and Jiang Xia focused on the cracks in the rocks.
Zhou Chenglei saw a jar, he picked it up, took a look inside, and sure enough, there was a big octopus hiding inside.
Jiang Xia was surprised and asked, "How do you know there is something in this jar?"
Zhou Chenglei: "Everyone who lives by the sea knows that octopuses love to get into jars. Some people even put jars in the sea specifically to catch octopuses."
Zhou Chenglei caught the octopus and said, "I'll put this jar in the water. Maybe there will be another octopus tomorrow."

So he took the jar and walked towards the sea.
Jiang Xia hurried to catch up.
Zhou Chenglei: "Don't follow me, the waves are big."
“Don’t be afraid!”
Seeing that she didn't listen, Zhou Chenglei turned around and reached out to help her.
Just when she was almost within reach of the waves, he stopped her from going any further, "Wait for me here."
Jiang Xia stood there waiting for him, with two buckets at her feet. She looked down at the cracks in the rocks and small puddles around her to see if there was anything she could pick up.
Zhou Chenglei continued to move forward with the jar, then jumped into the sea, found a gap, and stuck the jar in the crevice of the rock. After it was firmly stuck, he was about to climb up when he felt something hit his calf.
He looked down, quickly bent down and reached out to grab it! At this time, a big wave hit him!
"Be careful!" He turned to Jiang Xia and said, while he held on to the reef tightly with one hand.
Jiang Xia watched as the huge wave drowned Zhou Chenglei, and then a wave half a day high hit him.
There was an unknown object in the waves! She subconsciously reached out to grab it! It was slippery!
She grabbed it, but her body was hit by the waves and she fell to the ground.
Fortunately, she was standing on a flat reef, and although her butt hurt a little, she was not injured.
Jiang Xia quickly looked in the direction of Zhou Chenglei. Zhou Chenglei had already climbed up, holding a large yellowish-brown conch in his hand.
"Are you okay?"
"Are you okay?" Jiang Xia saw that he was okay, then took a look at the thing in her hand, which was an inkstone bigger than her face.
Haha, today’s harvest is quite good.
Zhou Chenglei picked up Jiang Xia and carefully put the conch into the bucket to prevent it from breaking the crab legs.
Jiang Xia also put the cuttlefish in her hand in.
"What kind of conch is this?" Jiang Xia asked as he looked at the papaya-shaped, yellowish-brown conch with black spots in the bucket.
"Papaya snail, many places call it coconut snail."
Jiang Xia: “…”
She thought of a piece of news she had seen in her previous life, and felt a little excited! Could she make tens of millions eating snails tonight?
"Zhou Chenglei, I want to eat snails tonight."
"Okay." Zhou Chenglei saw that Jiang Xia's clothes were soaked and was about to pick up the bucket to take her home.
Zhou's mother and Tian Caihua were running closer.
"Alei, what did you pick up?" After looking at the motorcycle, Tian Caihua and Zhou's mother dug a bucket of snails on the beach, and then they saw Jiang Xia and the others here.
Tian Caihua immediately called Zhou's mother to come over.
Tian Caihua felt that she might have better luck if she was closer to Jiangxia.
Zhou Chenglei was about to answer when Jiang Xia pulled his hand and said, "Zhou Chenglei, look at what's in the sea?"
All three of them turned their heads and looked towards the sea.
