Zhang Siyu was involved in a car accident. When she opened her eyes again, she was in a small fishing village in the 1960s, as Cheng Zhenzhu, a widow single-handedly raising three children.
T...
Sun Xiaode, peed all over, his face dripping with urine, fell silent for a moment. What was going on? His nephew exploded the moment he was in his arms? This was outrageous...
"Comrade Xiaode, let me do it." Cheng Zhenzhu took over and cleaned up the little guy's urine stain. Then she called out to Yitiao, "Yitiao, take Uncle Xiaode to wash his face."
"Okay." Yitiao took out a handful of melon seeds and got off the table, saying very experiencedly, "Uncle Xiaode, Jiutiao likes his mother and doesn't like to be held by others. Especially when he's sleeping or just waking up. You can play with Jiutiao at other times, he won't make a fuss. If there's no one around, he can play by himself..."
Sun Xiaode nodded. "I've learned my lesson!"
After Cheng Zhenzhu finished wiping, she put a diaper on the baby in her arms. When she turned the baby over, Jiu Tiao was already grinning.
Sun Xiaode returned from wiping his face and saw his nephew's slightly triumphant smile, which made him sigh with emotion. A five-month-old who couldn't even control his urine could actually control his emotions. His nephew was truly remarkable!
Jiu Tiao played in his mother's arms for a while, and then he became more energetic. Looking at the people in the room, he started to chatter. One pointed and said "oh" twice, another grabbed and said "ah" twice, as if to ask why so many people came to his house.
Wang Xiongtian felt relieved to see his grandson full of energy. Cheng Zhenzhu saw this and handed the baby back to Grandpa Wang, who had just put on his diaper, and went to the yard with a few other conches to process.
Several people were so excited that one of them took a pair of small scissors and moved a small stool to surround the two buckets. Seeing this, Qian Dawei and others also came to help.
"Sister-in-law Cheng, it's pretty nice to live by the sea. If you want to eat something fresh, go and catch some." Zhao Dali said while cutting the tip of the conch.
"That's right. Especially in October, it's the peak season for catching seafood. Comrade Dali, if you're interested, you can go catching seafood with Yitiao and the others this afternoon. When the tide goes out, there's a lot to pick up."
"No, Sister Cheng, we'll be back after lunch. We'll come back someday if we have the chance," Sun Xiaode said. They had already troubled Sister Cheng enough by coming here, so they didn't want to cause any more trouble.
"Just going back? Stay for two days? I see the old man is quite happy. I have several rooms and several beds, there is a place for him to sleep. Comrade Dawei will also stay for two days. It's not easy for him to come here. They like to hear some stories about military service. Comrade Dawei, if you have time, you can tell them some..."
"Uncle Dawei, Uncle Dali, Uncle Xiaode, I want to hear stories about military service!" One was very excited. Six was also quite interested. Two and the others weren't very interested, but they chimed in. They wanted to take Uncle Dawei and the others to the beach!
This... Qian Dawei and the other two looked at each other, all a little hesitant. Zhao Dali and Sun Xiaode turned to look at the old man in the living room who was happily playing with his grandchildren. Qian Dawei looked at his several expectant nephews and finally nodded.
The old man was very happy to know that he would stay here for two nights, but he was also a little worried about causing trouble.
Cheng Zhenzhu waved her hand, "It's okay, just making the bed and getting a quilt..."
So Qian Dawei and his friends decided to stay for two nights and return together the day after tomorrow. At noon, after the conchs were processed, Qian Dawei and his friends asked Cheng Zhenzhu to rest while they went to cook.
The cooking skills of several people are quite good, and the dishes they cooked are also very delicious. The praise group came online again, praising Qian Dawei and others so much that they went to wash the dishes happily.
After clearing the dishes, the four of them followed the children to the beach. Old Man Wang even took Jiu Tiao, who refused to sleep. Cheng Zhenzhu was happy to have someone look after the children while she lay at home, slept soundly, and fished a bit, completing system tasks, and so on.
Recently, she'd been cutting seaweed again, and she'd gotten a lot of seaweed fiber cloth in a variety of colors. The best-looking one was the camouflage one, which she planned to use to make clothes for a few of the strips.
There's nothing she can do about it. The girls are growing so fast, and their clothes need replacing so quickly. She's thinking about making a few slightly larger ones next year...
As Cheng Zhenzhu thought about it, she gradually drifted off to sleep. When she woke up, it was already five o'clock. She opened the door and saw several people returning home with their full loads, all beaming with smiles. Jiu Tiao, who always loved going out, was nestled in his grandfather's arms, completely overjoyed.
Blood ties are hard to sever, especially those between grandparents. Jiu Tiao had become quite familiar with his grandfather, and when he saw his mother didn't immediately want to hold him, he started to get a little anxious as it got dark, moaning and looking for his mother.
Cheng Zhenzhu guessed the little guy was ready for bed, so she quickly brought him some rice oil. Seeing that it was his favorite flavor, Jiu Tiao ate with great joy. After finishing half a bowl, he fell asleep contentedly...
In the evening, Cheng Zhenzhu didn't let the guests cook. She estimated the appetite and made two more bowls of rice than she had at lunch. And then there were the essential preserved meats. Mr. Wang and his family brought some sausages, and Cheng Zhenzhu cut up two and stir-fried them with pickled mustard greens.
The rest was scrambled eggs, seaweed and shrimp soup, two fish, and a large pot of stir-fried conch. With so many people, each dish was quite generous.
Grandpa Wang and his friends were amazed at the sumptuous meal. It was even more filling than at a restaurant! And judging by the children's reactions, it seemed like this was just an everyday meal...
Mr. Wang ate with satisfaction, yet felt a little worried. He wanted to ask Comrade Zhenzhu if the money he'd given her was enough? Should he get more tickets or something? Comrade Zhenzhu was being too generous. He wondered if he should give her the remaining five thousand yuan, or else he was worried it wouldn't be enough to eat...
