Chapter 280 She just wanted to play in the sand.

Mu Chengju raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"Tiger, I see you guys are collecting fish. Is this beach private or part of our village?"

Mu Chengju deliberately emphasized "we".

Huang Yuhu paused for a moment, staring at the vast beach in front of him.

"Second Brother Mu, this beach belongs to our Chuyun Village. I heard from my grandfather that you didn't live by the sea before, so you probably don't know that after the tide goes out, many fish and shrimp in the sea are left on the beach."

We collect some to feed our chickens and ducks whenever we have free time.

Chickens and ducks that eat fish and shrimp lay a lot of eggs, and the eggs taste delicious.

"Feeding chickens and ducks with fish and shrimp?" Mu Chengju was utterly astonished.

"You guys are too extravagant. Don't you eat fish and shrimp?"

Tiger shook his head.

"We don't really like to eat fish and shrimp because they're too fishy, ​​unless we're really out of food at home."

fishy?

Mu Chengju smiled.

"Actually, fish and shrimp are quite delicious when cooked properly. My mother's fish and shrimp are especially delicious. When my house is finished, Hu Zi will come over and try them."

"By the way, Tiger, may we collect some fish to take home and eat?"

Upon hearing Mu Chengju say he wanted to collect fish to take home and eat, Hu Zi immediately looked at them with a hint of sympathy.

He heard from his grandfather last night that they were all refugees who had come here from famine. They had a very hard journey, sleeping outdoors without food or water, and finally managed to get here and have a home.

But the house didn't even have a roof over its head. Grandpa also told him to tell the children in the village to be friendly to new children and not to bully them.

But when Hu Zi looked at Mu Chengju and the others in front of him, he saw that everyone was dressed cleanly and neatly, and their skin was at least much fairer than his, if not fair.

Moreover, none of them were pale and thin; in fact, two of them were plump and healthy, unlike what their grandfather had described as people who were struggling to make ends meet.

However, upon hearing Mu Chengju say that he wanted to collect fish to eat, Hu Zi suddenly began to believe him again.

They eat fish that smell so fishy and stinky; they're so pitiful!

"Tiger? Can we pick up this fish?"

Seeing that Hu Zi was in a daze, Mu Chengju patiently asked another question.

Tiger turned around when he heard the question and nodded repeatedly.

"Sure, of course, you can pick whatever you want."

This beach belongs to our village; you can come and pick it whenever you want.

However, the tide rises at the beach, and you can't play in the sea when the tide is high, or you'll be swept away.

Mu Chengju and the others nodded in agreement. When Ning Bao heard that the fish could be picked up freely, she quickly signaled her friends to go pick up the fish, while she pretended to walk back.

When they reached a place where no one could see them, Ningbao took out two empty buckets from her storage talisman, carrying one in each hand towards the sea.

The beach is very large, and there are many seafood items on the beach today due to the low tide. The children from Chuyun Village could not possibly collect them all.

Although Ning Bao and a few others have joined the group, no one else has said anything.

This discovery gave the children of Shanglin Village a very good impression of the children of Chuyun Village.

Watching his younger siblings happily collecting fish, Mu Chengju didn't go over. Instead, he stayed by Hu Zi's side and talked to him about things to be aware of when living by the sea.

Mu Chengju is almost ten years old. He is intelligent and meticulous, and he knows his little sister very well. Ningbao will definitely come to the beach quite often in the future.

Asking him about things to be careful about early on will help him pay more attention.

After chatting all morning, Mu Chengju and Hu Zi had become close friends who could talk about anything.

Tiger's family was already calling him for breakfast. Tiger, carrying his bucket, looked towards Mu Chengju.

"Second Brother Mu, can I come to visit you guys?"

Mu Chengju nodded.

"sure."

Ningbao had a great haul, with plenty of seafood on the beach. Unfortunately, Ningbao didn't recognize most of it, so they only picked up the fish and shrimp and threw the rest back into the sea.

A girl was puzzled when she saw Ningbao throwing other sea creatures into the sea.

"Little sister, just leave that thing on the beach. It will be carried away by the sea when the tide comes in."

Ning Bao looked up at the girl who was about the same age as Mu Laidi.

"Sister, you are so beautiful."

Wang Ying blushed slightly.

Ningbao giggled.

"Sister, my name is Ning Bao, what's your name?"

"My name is Wang Mei, but everyone calls me Meizi."

"Sister Mei, you just said that these things should be left on the beach, but I don't think it's good to leave them on the beach. They're not only unsightly, but they'll also hurt your feet."

These things will die once they're exposed to the sun, and then they'll definitely start to smell bad.

But if we happen to be in the right place, we can throw the live ones back into the sea, or even the dead ones, back into the sea to feed the fish.

This way, the beach will be clean and smell nice, and we can play on it.

Meizi looked at Ningbao with admiration after hearing her words. "Ningbao, you're amazing! You know everything!"

Ningbao felt a little embarrassed by Meizi's admiring gaze; actually, she just wanted to play in the sand.
