Leaving aside the two people at the dock, Chen Hong drove her tricycle straight to the old house and picked up Yu Yang, who was waiting at the gate, without even entering the gate.

Seeing Chen Hong drive back, Yu Yang said aggrievedly, "Mom, why did you take so long to come back? It's almost dark."

Chen Hong took a grouper from the truck bed and handed it to Grandpa Yu Yang, saying, "I'm sorry, son, I went a little far today, so I'm back late. Are you hungry? I'll take you home to cook. This is the fish I saved today, you can keep it!"

Grandpa Yu took the fish and said, "It's not easy for you to fish alone. Don't bring it here anymore. Keep it to sell for money. This fish is worth more than 100 yuan. It's such a waste to eat it yourself!" The old man felt very sorry for the fish.

Chen Hong laughed and said, "We've already eaten it, it's not spoiled, so how can it be a waste? People buy it and they eat it too! That's the only advantage of fishing at home—you get to eat fresh fish. Just eat it when you bring it back. If we had to charge for everything, we'd be in deep trouble."

Grandpa Yu said helplessly, "Okay, I won't say it again. Just give it to me and I'll eat it. It's just too expensive. I'll try to keep some cheaper ones that are hard to sell in the future."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. You can eat the ones that can't be sold!" After saying that, he drove Yu Yang home.

The first thing I did upon entering was park the car and run to the restroom. The most inconvenient thing for women on a boat is using the toilet; the boat is small and there are no restrooms. If it were a man, he could just stand there, unzip his pants, and that would be it.

Women had to use the chamber pot only when no one was around, and afterwards they had to secretly empty and wash it. So Chen Hong tried to drink as little water as possible when she went out to sea to avoid trouble.

Chen Hong told her son to go back to the main room and get some milk, biscuits, and snacks to tide him over, while she quickly started cooking.

While it was dark and her son wasn't looking, she took out a large lobster and a mackerel from her spatial storage, cooked rice, pan-fried the mackerel, cleaned and chopped the lobster, stir-fried it with some chili peppers, and the aroma was incredibly irresistible.

Chen Hong was so hungry she was practically rebelling, so she finally made herself a seaweed and egg soup. Half an hour later, the mother and daughter finally ate their belated dinner. They ate while watching TV; one episode of "Soldiers' Sortie" had already aired.

After dinner, the mother and daughter sprawled contentedly on the sofa, comfortably watching TV, not wanting to move at all. Once they had rested enough and the drama had finished, they took a shower, brushed their teeth, and went to bed.

Seeing that her son was asleep, Chen Hong got up, closed and locked the front door. She packed everything from the tricycle into the storage room, went to the backyard to collect the eggs, and tucked the honeysuckle from the roof.

Next, I capped the wine again and noticed that the foam in the vat had decreased. Tomorrow it needs to be filtered for secondary fermentation. I haven't even prepared the bottles yet. Sigh, there's work to be done everywhere!

The tricycle wasn't covered with a factory shed yet, so let's cover it with a waterproof tarpaulin first. Who knows when it will rain? We put the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen, washed them, and cleaned up.

Chen Hong first did yoga to stretch her body. After finishing, she felt very comfortable. She decided not to go into the space to work tonight, as it would rain for the next two days and she wouldn't be able to go out. She would work during the day when she had some free time. She needed to sleep first, as she had been tense both physically and mentally all day, which had exhausted her.

I checked my phone after getting into bed. The saplings had arrived in the city today and would be at the county's courier point tomorrow. I needed to pick them up quickly and try to plant them in the next couple of days while it was raining and I couldn't go out. I plugged my phone in, turned off the lights, and went to sleep!

The mother and daughter slept soundly through the night without waking up. It wasn't until she heard the sound of wind and rain that Chen Hong groggily woke up, reached for her phone, squinted at the screensaver—it was only 5 a.m.—and, hearing the rain outside, she went back to sleep.

Noticing her son getting up to pee, Chen Hong sat up, leaned against the headboard, and looked out the window at the overcast sky and light rain. The room was dimly lit. She picked up her phone and saw it was 8:10. Time to get up and cook, or her son would get hungry.

I got up, went to the bathroom, washed my face, brushed my teeth, and went to the kitchen to cook. I took out a grouper, killed and filleted it, sliced ​​the fish meat thinly, and cooked a pot of fragrant fish porridge. I only added scallions and ginger, along with a little salt. Once the porridge boiled, the aroma was irresistible.

Fry two dried steamed buns, boil two salted duck eggs, and serve with a plate of pickled cucumbers—a hearty and delicious breakfast.

The mother and daughter turned on the light in the main room and slowly ate their breakfast while chatting.

"What did you and Grandpa do at home yesterday?" Yu Yang ate without looking up: "We cleared out the land in the backyard. Grandpa said he wanted to plant cabbages and radishes to eat in the winter."

Chen Hong said to Yang, "Tell your grandfather that he's just planting for fun, don't overwork him. His health isn't good, so doing less work is good exercise for him. Tell him not to worry about the vegetables, our garden is so big, our two families can't finish them all. I'll send some to him when I have time."

Don't let him buy the eggs either. Our chickens lay eggs very frequently, about 14 or 15 a day. It's more than just the two of us can eat. If he doesn't help, they'll spoil easily. It's been raining these past few days, so there's not much work to do. I'll take you to the old house later, and we can pick some vegetables and eggs for your grandfather together."
