Chapter 489: Taking Advantage of Others

"I have to write them a letter back!"

Wen Shi said, "What?"

"Let the old witch endure it a little longer."

"I'm just afraid I won't make it through."

This is heartbreaking, but it is not impossible.

The first batch of college students after the resumption of the college entrance examination were severely suppressed.

The rebound effect is amazing.

but--

"I don't think Juanzi is that kind of person."

Wen Shi did not comment and did not want to continue the topic. He was not very familiar with either Wang Nan or Ge Sujuan.

If my wife is willing to be friends with them, then let her do it.

But the only one he cared about was Yi Chichi.

"Get up, it's time to go for a walk."

After the hand care was completed, Wen Shi stretched out his hand towards her.

Yi Chichi is now six months pregnant. The baby is very lively and healthy, but there is one problem: he doesn't like her to sit or lie down for a long time.

Like her to be out and about.

So, after returning from sea, Wen Shi had an additional task, which was to take Yi Chichi for a walk after get off work every day.

"Can I not go today?"

Ever since she got pregnant, Yi Chichi's laziness has taken over.

Every cell in her body was telling her that now she just wanted to lie down and give up.

Wen Shi smiled at her, "If you're not afraid of the baby punching you in the belly, you don't have to go!"

"...Then let's go."

The feeling of the baby punching her belly is not very pleasant. In order to prevent the baby from tormenting her belly, she had better be more self-conscious.

"Get a fan, it's hot!"

"good."

So, Wen Shi went out with Yi Chi Chi in one hand and a fan in the other.

Old Li from next door happened to be walking to their door and said, "Going for a walk again."

"Um."

Wen Shi responded, and seeing that he was carrying a large backpack, he wondered, "What are you carrying the basket for?"

"My wife and your mother found an abalone nest and asked the child to come back and inform us to take some things over to collect it."

Wen Shi's face fell when he heard this, "Then why didn't you notify me?"

"Didn't I tell you this?"

Old Li smiled and said, "Do you want to go together?"

Wen Shi looked at Yi Chi Chi and asked, "Wife, are you going?"

"go!"

Yi Chichi nodded decisively. There must be quite a few places that can be called abalone nests.

She hasn't seen the abalone nest yet.

Go and broaden your horizons.

"Wait a moment, daughter-in-law. I'll go back to the house and get a basket."

Before he finished speaking, he had already rushed into the house like a rabbit, and came back a few minutes later with a basket.

It’s not as big as Lao Li’s, but it’s not too small either.

Then, the three of them walked towards the west gate and met He Yunsong and others who had received the news on the way.

A group of people went to the beach together.

Today is a high tide. Every time there is a high tide, fellow villagers and military families come out in full force.

When they arrived at the beach, there was a lot of noise and bustle.

He Yunsong turned his neck and looked around, then exclaimed, "There are so many people here."

"Free seafood without any money or tickets, there are many people."

As he was talking, Wen Shi saw a cat's eye snail lying on the sand. He bent down, picked it up, and handed it to Yi Chichi, "Wife, pinch it."

Yi Chichi took it and squeezed it. The cat's eye snail with its meat sticking out began to squirt water, and then he put it back.

He Yunsong and the others were so upset by what they saw. What was wrong with this? He even asked Yi Chichi to pinch a snail he was picking up.

"Can't you just pinch it yourself?"

Old Li angrily retorted to him, then turned to Yi Chichi and said, "Sister-in-law, men can't be spoiled, especially your old Wen. If he's spoiled, he'll easily become arrogant. You have to teach him to do things on his own and not rely on others."

There was a lot of resentment in his words.

Yi Chichi understood immediately, "He often doesn't do the work and throws it to you, right?!"

"Um!"

Old Li didn't deny it, and complained to her with a sense of grievance, "My boss said he was young and asked him to take on more responsibilities, but he turned around and treated me like a workhorse."

Wen Shi rolled his eyes. "Don't forget, our division of labor is that you take care of politics, and I take care of military affairs. Those are your original duties."

"Besides..."

Glancing at Yi Chizhi's belly, he said proudly, "My wife is pregnant. I have to take care of her as much as possible. Otherwise, when we go out to sea, she will have to rely on herself and me for everything. How hard it will be."

So you can just exploit us as much as you want?

The men looked depressed, but did not dare to complain too much.

Because they all have wives and have done such things.

It's all old tradition.

If someone's wife is pregnant, the brothers should try to share as much of the burden as possible so that the pregnant wife's brother can spend more time taking care of the family and accompanying his wife.

After all, it is normal for them to be so busy that they cannot go home for as short as ten days, half a month, or as long as several months.

So, let's understand and take care of each other.

"My sister-in-law is almost six months old, right?!"

"More than six months."

When they heard Shi's reply, they suddenly realized that the baby was about to be born.

"When is the due date?"

Yi Chichi, "My prenatal checkup doctor said it was around the Spring Festival."

He Yunsong said, "It would be fun if I was born on New Year's Eve."

"Why?"

"It would be so unfair for a child to miss out on a hearty meal during their birthday celebrations on New Year's Eve."

Everyone: “…”

It is indeed quite unfair to say this.

Yi Chi Chi touched his stomach and said with a smile, "It's not a big deal, at most I can just eat two meals."

One meal for the kid’s birthday and another for New Year’s Eve dinner.

Isn't this balanced?

We arrived at our destination while chatting and laughing.

There is a large group of reefs. Wen's mother and the others are on one of the reefs. There must be a lot of abalone because the reef is piled with abalone.

There were also several buckets filled with abalone.

It is obvious that the bucket cannot hold it, so it can only be placed on the reef.

When Old Li saw this, his eyes lit up. "Old Wen, give me the backpack. I'll take it to Auntie. You and Xiao Yi don't have to come along."

The reefs are not easy to walk on, and even normal people have to be careful when going up there to avoid bumping into things or getting scratched.

Not to mention pregnant women.

To be on the safe side, it is better to let the couple stay on the beach.

Otherwise, no one can bear it if something unexpected happens.

"good."

Wen Shi also knew Yi Chichi's situation, so he handed the backpack over after hearing the voice.

"You two stay here, we're here for you."

He Yunsong gave some instructions and left like a wild horse.

Lao Li and the others followed immediately.

After Yi Chichi and Wen Shi watched the group of people leave, they set their eyes on the coconut tree not far away.

"Wife, would you like some coconut water?"

"I don't want to drink water, I just want to eat coconut chicken!"

Thinking of the coconut chicken stewed by Wen's mother, Yi Chichi became shamefully greedy.

When he heard it, he smiled and said, "Then you wait here, I'll go see if I can shake down a few coconuts."

When a coconut matures to a certain degree, the connection point between the fruit and the stem can be separated by shaking, causing the coconut to fall.

But this is not the correct way to pick coconuts.

But it can be used if you don’t have coconut picking tools.

So, Yi Chichi nodded, let go of his hand and let him shake the coconut.

I was lucky and shook down five of them. There were still some that had fallen down before on the beach.

After selecting, Wen Shi brought back 7 fresh coconuts that felt heavy to the touch and made no sound of water when shaken.
