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 ...
The tide receded completely and the shrimp disappeared with the tide.
Some may not have enough time to return to the sea with the tide and are lying in the sand, but they are more difficult to find.
Zhou Chenglei and Jiang Xia caught a total of more than one kilogram, almost two kilograms, of shrimp.
Tian Caihua and Zhou Chengxin also caught half a pound of shrimp with their bare hands.
This is not easy!
Zhou Chengsen and Ruan Tang caught four shrimps in total.
This is really even more difficult!
Zhou Chengsen and Ruan Tang were scrambling all over the beach to catch these four shrimps.
My coat is wet.
Zhou Chenglei passed by them and deliberately put the bucket in his hand together with Zhou Chengsen's bucket for comparison.
In one bucket there were only four lonely shrimps and an octopus; in another bucket there was a pile of shrimps, a few octopuses and a pile of white sand clams, hairy clams, snails and other shellfish.
The shrimps were caught by Zhou Chenglei, and the rest were picked up by Jiang Xia.
You don’t know until you compare. Once you compare, the hurt will be particularly great.
Zhou Chenglei was still rude: "Not bad, second brother broke the record!"
Zhou Chengsen: “…”
When Zhou Chengxin heard that the record was broken, he asked, "How many were caught?"
Zhou Chenglei: “Four!”
Zhou Chengxin: "Oh, it is a record-breaking one, not bad."
Zhou Chenglei: "Next time we should be able to catch five, brother, keep working hard."
Zhou Chengsen: “…”
If you can't speak, you don't have to.
His image of being wise, brave and omnipotent is gone!
Jiang Xia and Ruan Tang were both laughing secretly.
Zhou Chengsen pulled Ruan Tang away and didn't want to stay with them anymore: "Let's go catch mantis shrimp."
Zhou Chenglei added: "Second brother, catch more mantis shrimps. With your reaction speed, you can only catch mantis shrimps. Today's mantis shrimps are left to you. We won't compete with you for them!"
After Zhou Chenglei finished speaking, he carried the bucket and walked back to Jiang Xia, pulling Jiang Xia to run quickly, fearing that his second brother would beat him.
Jiang Xia smiled and lowered his head to continue searching, and then he found a mantis shrimp hole.
She stepped on it a few times and the shrimp crawled out from another hole.
Zhou Chenglei grabbed it and put it in the bucket, then pointed to the side and said, "There is also a shrimp hole here."
Jiang Xia walked over and stepped on it again.
Jiang Xia was stepping on the shrimp's hole, and Zhou Chenglei was not idle either. He saw a big flower crab hiding under the sand and grabbed it and threw it into the bucket.
When the mantis shrimp crawled out from another hole, he caught it easily without Jiang Xia having to do anything.
Zhou Chenglei: "There is one here too."
"There are a lot of mantis shrimps today." Jiang Xia went to step on them again.
"Still fat."
"Well, let's pick up some more."
"Okay." Zhou Chenglei knew that Jiang Xia loved to eat mantis shrimp.
Mantis shrimp is difficult to eat, but it is very fresh and sweet.
The two of them specifically looked for the holes of mantis shrimps.
Of course, I will pick up other things when I see them.
Just pick up whatever you see.
But there are indeed a lot of mantis shrimps today, and you can see a mantis shrimp hole every few meters.
Jiang Xia was having a lot of fun stepping on it.
But some mantis shrimps will not jump out even if you step on them.
Zhou Chenglei started to dig it out.
…
Before we knew it, daybreak had arrived and the tide was slowly rising.
The two of them picked up about two or three pounds of mantis shrimp, and a bucket full of other things.
I also picked up a large net bag of snails, scallops and oysters.
When returning to the shore, people around gathered together and walked ashore.
Jiang Xia took a look at everyone's buckets and net bags, all of which were filled with shellfish.
Tian Caihua was very popular in the village. When a woman saw her, she immediately came over and said, "Ahua!"
Tian Caihua was with Jiang Xia and Ruan Tang. When she heard someone calling her, she turned around and asked with a smile, "What's going on? We had a good harvest today! We picked up so many tapes."
"Whether you accept it or not, if you do, I'll give it all to you."
Tian Caihua: "Receive it, why not?"
She also wanted to dry more scallops and sell them to Mr. Xu.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The man laughed when he heard it: "Then I'll send it directly to your house for weighing."
Tian Caihua responded, "Okay."
The other party glanced at Ruan Tang and Zhou Chengsen who were walking in front, and whispered: "Have you heard about Li Xiuxian?"
Tian Caihua also glanced ahead upon hearing this and asked in a low voice, "No, isn't she in confinement after childbirth? What's wrong?"
When he heard that Tian Caihua hadn't heard of it, the other party got excited: "She's already out of confinement! Liao Ruixiang has a woman outside. Li Xiuxian went to catch him cheating yesterday and made a scene at the police station. Last night, her mother-in-law sent her back to her parents' home! Several brothers from the Li family went to Liao's house to make a scene overnight!"
Tian Caihua's eyes widened when she heard this: "Tell me more details! How did she catch the adulterer? How did it end up in the police station? What happened after all the fuss?"
Tian Caihua was upset!
How come she didn't see any of this wonderful scene! It was all because she went to bed too early last night because she wanted to get up early to go to the beach! Otherwise, if she knew, she would definitely go to watch the fun.
"I heard that Li Xiuxian had a gynecological disease and took a bus to the city to see a doctor. On the way, she saw Liao Ruixiang dragging a woman into the guesthouse. Li Xiuxian got off the bus immediately, chased after them, grabbed the woman and beat her up. Later, I don't know who called the police, and they were taken to the police station. ..."
The other party spoke louder and louder. Zhou Chengsen and Ruan Tang were walking in front, so it was impossible for them not to hear.
Even Zhou Chenglei, who is hard of hearing, heard it clearly.
The women nearby heard her talking about this and ran to her to find out what was going on.
Everyone likes to listen and discuss about right and wrong.
Walking back to the shore, a distance of three or four kilometers, everyone was talking and exaggerating the affairs of Liao Ruixiang and Li Xiuxian.
Everyone even counted how many extramarital affairs Liao Ruixiang had.
"Li Xiuxian has fallen into a fire pit! Was her illness transmitted by Liao Ruixiang?"
"Nine out of ten!"
"What do we do now?"
"Now Li Xiuxian and the Liao family have fallen out. She returned home and didn't want the child anymore. She left the child to the Liao family."
"Li Xiuxian wants to divorce again? She has done something wrong. What should we do with such a young child?"
"Why get a divorce? The two of you haven't even signed a marriage certificate! There's no wedding banquet, so why do you need to get a divorce? Just pack up and go home!"
People in the village don’t actually care about marriage certificates. Seven or eight out of ten couples in the village do not have marriage certificates.
After holding a wedding banquet and inviting relatives and friends to witness it, you are considered married.
"The Liao family said they would hold a full-month banquet and wedding banquet together after the baby was born, but they ended up having a daughter, and there wasn't even a full-month banquet."
"Her mother-in-law was too much. She didn't take care of her during the confinement period and didn't even wash the baby's diapers in the middle of winter."
"Li Xiuxian is not someone who will suffer a loss. She threw all the baby's diapers into her mother-in-law's closet and used her parents-in-law's clothes as diapers for the baby, forcing her mother-in-law to wash them..."
"I heard that Li Xiuxian wants to divorce Liao Ruixiang and give the child to the Liao family, but Liao Ruixiang wants to give her 100,000 yuan! To be paid in three years."
"One hundred thousand yuan? Liao Ruixiang has that much money? Even if he had it, he wouldn't be willing to spend it, right?"
"Of course I don't want to. Liao Ruixiang is not stupid."
"By the way, after Li Xiuxian gets divorced, will she come back to find your uncle?"
Tian Caihua: "How can she be so embarrassed? Besides, my uncle is already married to Xiaotang, and they will sign the marriage certificate after the Chinese New Year!"
Writing a marriage certificate means getting a marriage certificate. People in the village don’t say getting a marriage certificate, they only say writing a marriage certificate. For the first time, Zhou Chengsen felt that his sister-in-law spoke so beautifully! (End of this chapter)
