Seeing her in the distance, Liang Yueming quickly walked back from the rocky beach.
She was also carrying a tin bucket, which was more than half full of freshly knocked-down oysters.
"Why are you back now? Why didn't you spend more time with Uncle Shen in the city?" Liang Yueming asked Shiyue.
“Uncle Shen has old comrades to visit, so he doesn’t need me to accompany him. I only went for two days before he sent me back,” Shiyue replied.
Liang Yueming naturally knew that Shiyue was just joking. He laughed and patted her on the shoulder, shoving the tin bucket into her hand and saying, "You take Jiajia back first. I still have another basin to knock down. I'll go get it."
Shiyue looked at the bucket in her hand, then at the basin next to Jiajia, and asked with a hint of helplessness, "Sister-in-law, how can you finish eating all of this? It won't be fresh if you leave it until tomorrow."
"It's not just our family, there's also Sister Cui and Mei Ying. Mei Ying is on duty today, and Sister Cui is preparing dinner right now, neither of them is free."
Don't be fooled by all this; this thing is just an empty shell. Once you remove the shell, there's not much inside.
Hearing her say that, Shiyue immediately became interested.
She said, "Sister-in-law, you go get it. I'll take these little ones back first. Don't send them any more oysters. Let them all come to our house for dinner tonight."
I just brought some things back from the city, let's have dinner together tonight.
Upon hearing about the get-together, the children were naturally the first to get excited.
They scattered in a panic, all running back to inform their parents.
Shiyue took Jiajia home.
By this time, the father and his three sons had returned.
Because Liang Yueming was going to collect oysters today, she prepared dinner early.
She wasn't as skillful as Shiyue, nor could she create many different designs.
So tonight's dinner is a cold dish, steamed buns made from two kinds of flour, and a pot of tomato and vegetable soup.
The young soldier who came to help had already escorted them to the expert building with He Liping.
The father and his sons returned quite early today, mainly because they were worried about leaving Fu Yunfang alone at home.
In reality, Fu Yunfang's mental state has improved a lot.
Although he can't communicate with people like a normal person yet, his thinking is much clearer, and he'll definitely be fine staying home alone.
The father and his sons were sitting in the courtyard enjoying the sea breeze, waiting for Liang Yueming and her daughter to return so they could have dinner.
Instead of Liang Yueming, they waited for Shiyue to return.
They were all quite surprised to see Shiyue, and naturally surrounded her with a barrage of questions.
Shiyue gave a few casual replies and then said to everyone, "I brought some food back from the city today. It can't be stored for long. Let's have a get-together tonight."
As she spoke, she pulled He Lixuan, who had been pushed aside, over and then said to the others, "Let's go back and pack first. Mom and Dad, you can just come over later."
Jiajia was incredibly excited when she learned that there would be a dinner party that night.
She didn't even bother to acknowledge her own father, and skipped and hopped away with Shiyue.
Shiyue could only give the little girl a basket, then sent her to the vegetable garden to buy vegetables: "Go and call Xiaofei and the others, go to the vegetable garden together to buy some vegetables. We need plenty of potatoes, eggplants, and pumpkins, five catties of each. Also get some chives, cucumbers, and some scallions."
Besides these, see if there's anything else you'd like to eat and buy some of that too. Tell them to put it on your uncle's tab.
This is the rule on the island.
Because there is a plantation on the island established by military workers, where a lot of vegetables are grown.
The weather on Whale Island is hot, so the vegetables grow very quickly. Sometimes they grow so fast that even with two kitchens, we can't keep up with the demand.
So the plantation began to open to the island's residents, and everyone could go to the plantation to buy vegetables.
Military industry workers don't accept cash; they usually keep accounts and deduct the money from wages at the end.
This money will also be used as a subsidy for the food allowance of the two canteens.
Jiajia repeated the names of the vegetables Shiyue wanted and then ran off. He Lixuan asked curiously, "What do you need so many vegetables for? We're not going to be able to finish them all!"
Shiyue gave him a smug smile and said, "We can definitely finish it, maybe even not enough! I'm planning to have a barbecue tonight."
Previously, some sellers were selling barbecue seasoning in the group, saying it was a special sale near its expiration date, with seven months left on the shelf, and a buy-one-get-one-free offer.
That seller probably had a lot of money stuck in their hands, so they sent out red envelopes for several days in a row, and then bombarded the market with messages, sending them many times a day.
Even if Shiyue didn't want to see it, she couldn't.
At first, Shiyue didn't intend to buy anything, but somehow that person somehow got hold of so many barbecue tips, barbecue recipes, and various short videos of a bunch of people barbecuing together.
After seeing so many, Shiyue's heart began to itch with desire.
In a moment of impulse, she bought three bottles!
With the buy-one-get-one-free offer, she currently has six bottles of barbecue seasoning in her space.
Shiyue had wanted to try making a barbecue for a long time, but she had never had the chance before.
Now that she finally has a reason to bring this back from the city, how could she possibly let it go!
Shiyue took out some fish that she had bought at the small market that morning when she went to pick up dried goods. These fish were not available on the island recently.
Several pomfret, a bucket of shrimp, five large flower crabs, three fresh large squid, and the huge pile of oysters we just brought back.
Shiyue handed all these things over to He Lixuan to clean, while she took the shovel standing against the wall and started digging a hole in the open space in the middle of the yard.
