"Yes, I know."
Lin Yuxin nodded, she understood this principle, so she took the clothes and put them on.
Because she got out of bed in a hurry, she wasn't dressed properly in some places. When Li Xiaochen saw this, he had no choice but to go over and help her straighten up.
Lin Yuxin blushed instantly as she watched his actions. Last night was only the second time the two of them had shared a bed, yet there was no awkwardness at all. Now he was even helping her tidy her clothes, just like an old married couple who had been together for many years, without any sense of incongruity.
Lin Yuxin raised an eyebrow. Was this what getting used to it was? Had she already gotten used to Li Xiaochen's presence? Used to close contact with him?
It doesn't seem bad at all!
Lin Yuxin smiled.
After Lin Yuxin finished dressing, Li Xiaochen quickly put on his coat, took Lin Yuxin's hand, and walked out.
It was still dark outside, but Aunt Mu and Uncle Mu were already up and packing their things for going beachcombing. Since it was still early, they usually waited until they finished beachcombing before coming back for breakfast.
Beachcombing is a activity where people go to the beach after the tide goes out each day to collect fish, shrimp, and other seafood that haven't been swept away by the receding tide.
Each time the locals go beachcombing, they usually have a good harvest, which is a small but significant source of income for them each day.
Lin Yuxin saw that Xiao Hao was also obediently following behind Aunt Mu, helping to prepare things.
"Good morning, Aunt Mu and Uncle Mu!"
Lin Yuxin greeted him with a smile.
"Get up, sit down for a while. We're going to go beachcombing soon. Are you hungry? Have a pancake. It was made this morning and it's still warm."
When Aunt Mu saw the two of them get up, she stopped what she was doing and asked with a smile.
"No need, I'm not hungry yet. I can eat when you get back."
Lin Yuxin waved her hand, indicating that she wouldn't eat.
"Hehe, then I'll have Xiao Chen pack you two pancakes later, you can eat them if you get hungry!"
Aunt Mu didn't insist, and said with a smile, then continued to load the fishing net.
Yesterday afternoon I spent the whole afternoon mending the fishing net, and it's finally done. Uncle Mu will need it when he goes out to sea soon, so I have to pack it up for him so he can take it with him. I also have to pack him some dry food, since he won't be back for lunch and will have to eat something simple on the boat.
The placement of these large fishing nets is systematic, designed so that they can be fully opened the moment they are cast.
So it takes a lot of effort. Laymen might not understand it, but experts can immediately figure out the pattern of the arrangement.
"Xiao Hao, how did you sleep last night?"
Seeing that it wasn't her business, Lin Yuxin asked Xiao Hao, who was standing next to her.
"Yes, I slept well."
Xiao Hao nodded and said.
He slept very well. Last night, Aunt Mu even told him a story. Sleeping next to Aunt Mu, he felt a motherly warmth, which made him feel very at ease.
Lin Yuxin nodded, "As long as you sleep well, that's fine."
Uncle Mu set off first, carrying his fishing net and some dry food. The weather was good today, and he needed to go out to sea to have a good catch.
Aunt Mu then took Lin Yuxin and the others to go beachcombing, hoping they might find some good things if they were lucky.
When they arrived at the beach, Aunt Mu gave each of them a basket to carry, and then taught them to identify the fresh, live animals that they could catch, while the smaller ones were to be released.
Lin Yuxin and Xiao Hao found it very interesting and followed Aunt Mu with great interest, conducting a thorough search of the reef, sometimes even moving stones to examine them.
Other villagers also came to gather seafood. Some of them would come over to say hello, and Aunt Mu would introduce Lin Yuxin and the others to him, praising Lin Yuxin to the skies.
After praising her, Aunt Mu's mouth never stopped.
The villagers around them twitched at the sound of their voices. Some women who didn't get along with them looked at Lin Yuxin and her friends with disdain.
These two old ladies, Aunt Mu and her husband, are getting more and more shameless. They're treating something they found like a treasure.
Lin Yuxin sensed some hostility from the village women, but she didn't care. She and Xiao Hao picked up the trash very quickly, and whether intentionally or unintentionally, they walked ahead of those women. In no time, the two of them left no stone unturned, and their baskets were full in no time.
The village women searched for a long time, but their baskets were empty. They stomped their feet in anger. One of them, a slightly plump woman in a dark green dress, couldn't hold back and glared at Lin Yuxin, saying:
"You little brat, you have no respect for your elders at all! You've already picked up all the stuff, are we supposed to pick it up too?"
"Exactly, this girl of unknown origin is so rude, and she's brought a bad boy with her. Could she have eloped with that boy she picked up? Are they here to seek refuge with Aunt Mu and the others?"
"Maybe this kind of ill-mannered girl was kicked out of her family."
As their words grew increasingly offensive, Lin Yuxin stopped picking up lobsters, stood up, her face turned cold, and stared at them expressionlessly, her entire demeanor instantly changing.
The atmosphere around them changed, and the women who were talking spoke in hushed tones. Looking into Lin Yuxin's cold eyes, they suddenly felt their hearts tremble.
Then I thought, she's just a little girl, why should I be afraid of her?
So, mustering his courage, he shouted fiercely:
"What are you looking at? You good-for-nothing, if you keep looking I'll gouge your eyes out."
Xiao Hao, standing beside him, turned slightly cold. These women did not deserve to be forgiven!
"Oh? How do you plan to gouge out my eyes?"
Lin Yuxin put down what she was holding, lifted her foot, and walked towards them, a cold smile playing on her lips as she spoke in a wicked tone.
