Chapter 418 Waiting for Chapter 418 Transfer

They had dinner at great-grandmother's house. He Xinghuan knew that Jiang Xia's family had gone out to sea, so she cooked dinner for them as well.

There are braised pork, steamed sea bass, shrimp and mixed fish pot.

Mixed fish stew is eaten almost every day by every family in the village. It is cheap and delicious.

When you can’t eat rice, you can also use the soup made from mixed fish to mix with rice.

Jiang Xia also brought a snakeskin bag, a large bucket of snails, spicy snails and hairy clams.

Steam the scallops with vermicelli and garlic, and blanch the rest directly with soy sauce.

Today's scallops were particularly plump and the scallops were particularly large, fresh and sweet. They were steamed in half. Jiang Xia ate ten of them along with vermicelli, but didn't eat much rice, only a small half bowl.

During the meal, my great grandfather asked, "I plan to transfer Zhou Jie to the primary school in town next semester. Will Zhou Zhou follow? I can pick Zhou Zhou up and drop him off as well."

Great grandmother: "Teachers in the town teach better than those in the village. Teachers in the village teach in dialect, while teachers in the town teach in Mandarin."

Great grandfather: "Not all teachers use Mandarin."

Jiang Xia heard this and said, "Let's think about it and discuss it."

I have to go home and ask Zhou Zhou if he is happy about this.

If Zhou Zhou wanted to go, he could also go to the town.

I plan to pick up Jiang Xia myself and not trouble my great-grandma and great-grandpa to help me pick him up every day.

People are lazy. Even when taking care of their own children, they may want to be lazy sometimes, let alone taking care of other people's children.

After dinner, when they returned home, Jiang Xia asked Zhou Zhou if he wanted to transfer to the primary school in town.

Zhou Zhou shook his head: "No."

"Why not?"

"It's too far. Sister Yingying is very busy and rushed every time she goes to school."

Jiang Xia: “…”

That's because Zhou Ying eats very slowly, and Li Xiuxian keeps urging her, which makes her seem very rushed.

It only takes about ten minutes to get to town, not far at all.

"Auntie can pick you up and drop you off. When Auntie is not free, you can go to school with Zhou Jie."

"I don't want to go. The school in town has a lot of homework. Sister Yingying works very late every day. Sister Yingying is studying in town. I see that she can't do some math problems when she does them, but I can do them! She doesn't even know how to spell some Chinese characters, but I know them all. It shows that the teachers in town are almost the same."

If she doesn’t know the answer, she can just ask her aunt and uncle. Her aunt is better than the teacher.

Besides, she gets full marks in every exam now, so it won't be likely that she will get 101 points if she transfers to a school in town.

Why transfer? Zhou Zhou didn't want to transfer, nor did he want his aunt to send him there every day.

She goes to school in the village and can walk there by herself. The school is next to the rice fields and vegetable gardens. On the way home from school, she can pick wild flowers, catch fish, and dig sweet potatoes. Her classmates also break sugarcane from their own fields and share it with them. How fun is that?

There is less homework in the village school and you can finish it after class. When you go home, you can herd cattle, geese, and ducks while roasting sweet potatoes and flying kites. You can also go to the beach to pick up conchs and seashells and roast them. How great is that?

Zhou's mother: "It's okay if you don't go. You're not going to college. It doesn't matter where you go to primary school. The primary schools in the town are not much different from those in the village. The teachers are all of the same level."

Jiang Xia saw that Zhou Zhou really didn't want to go, so she let it go. Zhou Zhou was shy, and if she transferred to a new school and changed her classmates, she would have to adapt again, which might not be a good thing.

"If you don't want to turn, then don't turn. Have you finished your homework for today?"

"I've finished it. I finished it at school. I've also memorized the English words and sentences. Auntie, listen and see if there are any mistakes."

"good."

Zhou Zhou memorized it carefully.

After that, Jiang Xia touched her little head, praised her with a smile, corrected her pronunciation, and told her to take a shower and go to bed as it was almost eight o'clock.

These days, nine o'clock in the evening already feels very late, as most of the fishermen in the fishing village who are going out to sea have already gone to bed.

*The next day, Jiang Xia woke up on time as usual, planning to continue going out to sea.

Zhou's father washed the agarwood again with clean water last night, fearing that the salt in the sea water would be bad for the wood.

Zhou Chenglei planned to wait until it was dried before sending it to the city and asking Zhang Rong to send it to the port city to sell.

When Jiang Xia got up, Zhou Chenglei was no longer in the room.

She put on her clothes, turned on the light and checked the time. It was only four twenty-five.

Where did he go so early? Jiang Xia went to brush his teeth and wash his face. After that, he went downstairs and saw Zhou's mother and asked, "Mom, where is A Lei?"

"I went catching octopuses with your dad."

"Is the tide receding here too?"

"Yes, many people in the village have gone there. They should be back soon."

In the middle of the night she heard many villagers walking by the roadside, going to the beach, saying that the tide had receded.

After hearing this, Zhou's father and Zhou Chenglei got up and went out.

No matter when the sea recedes, even in the middle of the night, the villagers will get up and go to the sea.

The sea water ebbs and flows every day, but the tide only recedes significantly at the beginning and middle of the month.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

The times of high tide and low tide are not fixed and vary from day to day.

During low tide, the sea water recedes quickly, and many shellfish do not have time to escape and are left on the beach.

Therefore, you will get more harvests when you go fishing at low tide.

Moreover, every time the tide rises and falls, the seafood the sea presents to mankind is different.

Night is the time when octopuses come out to look for food, so the chances of catching octopuses are much greater if you go to the sea at night.

The father and son had to go out to sea today, so Zhou's mother had to make breakfast so she didn't go out to sea.

Zhou's mother estimated that the tide would recede at the beach yesterday, so she planned to go out to sea today as well.

"What time did they go out?" Jiang Xia was tiring after a tiring day yesterday and went to bed at nine o'clock. He slept so soundly that he didn't notice anything.

"It's past twelve o'clock. He should be back soon."

Not long after Zhou's mother finished speaking, the father and son came back carrying a bucket and the straps of two large net bags.

Both buckets were half full of octopus.

Jiang Xia was surprised and said, "So many? And these octopuses are really big."

Father Zhou smiled and said, "We were lucky to catch so many. Others only caught a dozen or so."

Zhou's mother smiled and said, "Bring it aboard later. I'll kill and dry it on board. You guys go wash your hands and have breakfast."

What we caught tonight are long-legged seals. We cleaned the internal organs and spread them out on a bamboo mat to dry in the sun. They can grow into a very large one.

There are more than a hundred of them in these two buckets. After being dried, they are kept by Jiangxia for her milk production after she gives birth. She cooks three or four of them every day, which is enough for a month.

Moreover, their family has been catching octopuses in earthenware jars. These days, Zhou's mother has dried about ten kilograms of octopus.

Zhou Chenglei and his father's clothes were all wet from going to the sea, so they quickly changed into new clothes and had breakfast before going out to the sea.

While they were having breakfast, Zhou's mother ran to call great-grandmother and Tang Ping's mother to go fishing together.

The family arrived at the dock half an hour late. Li's father and Li Qingmin were also waiting there.

Ever since they discovered that they could make a lot of money by fishing at sea, the father and son have been eager to go fishing earlier and earlier.

We are going to catch seafood today, and Li's mother and Li Qingmin's wife are coming along.

Yesterday, Zhou Chenglei and his friends picked up several large bags of scallops, which were worth more than ten yuan! Moreover, scallops are delicious, and many people love to eat them.

Father Li smiled and asked Father Zhou: "My dear relatives, are you going to go fishing today?"

Father Zhou smiled and said, "Go ahead."

After waiting for more than half an hour, Li Qingmin became a little impatient: "Why are you getting later and later?"

Zhou Chenglei glanced at him calmly: "Did I ask you to wait?"

Li Qingmin: “…”
