Chapter 39 The Beach After the Typhoon

Tian Caihua said, "Go! The typhoon just passed, and the rain hasn't stopped yet. The waves are definitely still big. Going to the beach now is tantamount to seeking death!"

Zhou Chenglei: "No hurry, let's go and have a look after the rain stops."

In fact, he also planned to go to the beach in the rain, but he didn't want to take Jiang Xia with him because it was raining and the waves were big, which was dangerous.

Zhou Chengxin also advised: "Xiao Xia, if you want to go to the beach, wait until the rain stops and let A Lei take you there. It's useless to go now. The waves are probably still big and you won't be able to pick up anything. You'll easily catch a cold if you get caught in the rain."

Jiang Xia took a look at the rain outside. Although it was still a bit heavy, like moderate rain, there was no wind.

However, the rake in her hand had not been modified yet, and it was still raining, so she had to wait a little longer.

"Then wait until I have modified these two rakes and the rain has subsided, then we'll go to the beach. Brother, you guys should go to the beach early as well."

"Why are you in such a hurry? There aren't fish, shrimps and crabs all over the beach waiting for people to pick them up. Let's wait until the rain stops before going. It doesn't cost money to catch a cold or fever from the rain?" Tian Caihua glanced at the rake that Jiang Xia had modified and pursed her lips in disdain. She suspected that Jiang Xia was bored and wanted to go to the beach to play with sand and water! Fearing that the rain would intensify, Zhou Chengxin saw that his parents were fine, so he called Tian Caihua and left.

Another quarter of an hour passed and the rain was still falling. After Jiang Xia modified another target, he went straight to cook. After finishing his breakfast, he went to the beach to pick shrimps.

Jiang Xia simply steamed some dried fish, stir-fried some green vegetables, and a dish of sauerkraut, and the family had a simple meal.

After dinner, the rain lightened up, but it was still falling.

Jiang Xia packed up a few snakeskin bags, two baskets, four buckets, a few nets and some bamboo poles, and also took a new broom and a dustpan.

She put on a bamboo hat, took a piece of plastic film and put it on as a raincoat, and said to Zhou Chenglei: "Let's go, the rain has stopped, let's go to the beach."

Jiang Xia just saw Zhou's mother dressed like this, walking back and forth between the kitchen and the living room.

She found it quite convenient. The brim of the bamboo hat was wide enough to almost cover her shoulders. With the film draped over her body, she didn't need to hold an umbrella, freeing her hands! Zhou Chenglei: "..."

Father Zhou: “…”

Mother Zhou: “…”

This daughter-in-law has completely fallen in love with rural life, right?

Or was it just for fun? Father Zhou looked at the baskets, buckets, and snakeskin bags that Jiang Xia had packed up, and it was outrageous! He couldn't help but say, "Xiao Xia, just bring two buckets, no need to bring a basket."

Zhou's mother nodded vigorously: "Yes, even after the typhoon, there are not so many things to pick up on the beach."

If you bring so many things with you, the villagers will definitely laugh at you! Miss, she thought her fish pond was dry, so are there a lot of fish to pick up?

Did she bring so many things to carry sand to the beach? Did she really think that after the typhoon, the whole beach would be full of fish?

"It's better to be prepared. It might be useful! Isn't it said that the bigger the wind and waves, the more fish there are? Mom, go remind big brother and the others to bring more things over to load. When the time comes, remember to push the cart over."

Jiang Xia then urged Zhou Chenglei: "Have you finished eating? Otherwise, I'll go to the beach first and won't wait for you."

Jiang Xia is really anxious!

If you go a second earlier, you might be able to pick up an extra pound of shrimp!

Zhou Chenglei didn't understand why she was so anxious. It was still raining and few people would go to the beach to pick up fish in the rain. It was estimated that no one would go there until the evening. However, he still poured all the rice in the bowl into his mouth, put down the bowl, stood up, walked to her side, and took the baskets, buckets, snakeskin bags, fishing nets, two iron shovels, brooms and two bamboo rakes that she had improved yesterday.

Although he felt that these things might not be used, it was still a bit of effort and he didn't argue as she liked.

Jiang Xia packed everything up and stuffed them into two baskets. He just had to carry them out on his shoulders.

When the couple left the courtyard, Jiang Xia saw smoke coming out of her great-grandmother's chimney. She ran to her great-grandmother's house and shouted, "Grandma, hurry up and go fishing!"

Grandma replied, "So early? It's raining! You go first, I'll go after I finish my meal."

Jiang Xia didn't wait for them. He reminded them to bring more snakeskin bags and baskets, and then he and Zhou Chenglei walked quickly towards the beach.

Jiang Xia's pace was faster than ever before, she wanted to run!

No, she was already jogging, and she kept urging Zhou Chenglei: "Hurry up! Your legs are so long, why are you walking so slowly!"

Zhou Chenglei: “…”

Until she was a few dozen meters away from the sea, Jiang Xia saw densely packed things on the sea surface. The waves rushed up and took away a wave. She ran directly! Zhou Chenglei had good eyesight and also ran!

Shrimp! Shrimp everywhere! And lots of fish.

The book says that a tornado appeared in the sea and swept the shrimps on the seabed into the air and dropped them down.

Fortunately, the tornado did not come ashore, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

The two ran to the beach. The waves were indeed quite big, but they just stayed away from them.

The stretch of beach that wasn't hit by the waves was enough for them to pick up.

Jiang Xia: "Set up the nets to prevent the waves from carrying away all the shrimps."

"Okay!" Zhou Chenglei was already taking the fence.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

He already understood the purpose of Jiang Xia preparing these things, but he was very curious why she prepared so many, as if she had known that there would be shrimps on the beach.

He is curious, but he won't delve into it.

The couple set up a nearly ten-meter-long net on the beach to trap the shrimps. Zhou Chenglei also watched Jiang Xia not to go too far, fearing that she would be swept into the sea by the waves.

"Give me that rake!" Jiang Xia said excitedly.

Zhou Chenglei glanced at her and immediately gave her the rake.

The couple found a place with a large number of shrimps, and took the bamboo rake improved by Jiangxia, and raked lightly to get a small pile of shrimps. This also requires skills. If you use too much force, you will stir up the mud and sand, which will be more troublesome.

Gently scrape along the surface, just touching the shrimp without touching the sand.

Both husband and wife were good at work and quickly mastered the skills. In just a few minutes, they had picked up a pile of shrimps, about five or six pounds!

They then went to find the next place where shrimps were densely packed. As for the scattered shrimps, they picked up the shrimps in the densely packed areas first and then picked up the others slowly.

Of course there were also some fish and shellfish, which they also piled up.

Wen Wan carried a load of tools and rushed to the beach in the rain. She was surprised to see people on the beach from a distance. Then she recognized Zhou Chenglei and Jiang Xia.

It was only after she was reborn that she realized that there would be many shrimps on the beach after the typhoon.

She thought she would be the first to arrive.

But Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei arrived earlier than her.

She has been wondering these past two days whether Jiang Xia has been reborn.

Now she can confirm that Jiang Xia has also been reborn.

Wen Wan suddenly became furious. Jiang Xia was reborn and refused to divorce, but instead occupied Zhou Chenglei.

She had been waiting to pick up the shrimps on the beach to make money to pay for tuition, so why was she here to grab them?

This is not giving her a chance to survive!
