Chapter 657: Sea Hunt
Zhou Ying was the first to notice that her father had returned, and she said excitedly, "Dad! I'll take Sister Ruan to go fishing!"
Now Zhou Ying has changed the way she addresses Ruan Tang to Sister Ruan.
Zhou Chengsen smiled at his daughter and said, "Okay, have you eaten?"
"I just ate. Grandma left some food for you. Remember to finish it!"
"good."
Ruan Tang glanced at him. The wind was a little strong today, making his hair a little messy. He always smiled gently at his daughter, and the smile softened his tough features.
Zhou Chengsen raised his eyes and met Ruan Tang's gaze, with a gentle smile on his face: "Long time no see, Doctor Ruan."
When their eyes met, Ruan Tang's heart trembled slightly, and she avoided his gaze: "I have a day off tomorrow, so I thought about going to the beach with my colleagues. I happened to meet Xiao Xia in the city, so I took their car here. Sorry for disturbing you."
Did he feel it was a long time too?
They haven't seen each other for a month.
This month, Ruan Tang found herself thinking of him from time to time and wanting to see him. When she heard her colleagues say they wanted to find a beach to catch some seafood, she brought them here.
She is such a quiet person that she rarely takes the initiative to hang out with her colleagues.
During holidays, her colleagues would organize her to go shopping, watch movies, or climb mountains together, but she would always refuse, preferring to stay alone in her small house and read a book, or make something delicious to comfort her tired body from work.
She wanted to come and see him to confirm her thoughts.
Zhou Chengsen smiled and said, "Don't bother me. If you like to go fishing, you can come often."
Ruan Tang's heart trembled again, and she responded in a low voice: "Okay."
Two nurses pulled Zhou Zhou out, one on each side.
Zhou Zhou called him Second Uncle, and they also greeted him with a smile: "Hello, Brother Zhou Er.
Zhou Chengsen looked at them and smiled and nodded: "Hello, you can come here often with Dr. Ruan if you like. You can also bring other colleagues and friends with you. As long as I am free, I will take you. There are still many seafood on the beach here."
The two nurses smiled and said, "Don't worry, we will come often! We won't be polite!"
Zhou Chengsen smiled: "You're welcome."
Zhou Ying: "Dad, stop talking! We are going to go fishing! It will be dark soon!"
Several adults laughed.
Zhou Chengsen laughed: "Go ahead, but be careful and don't go into deep water."
"I know, do you still treat me as a child? I'm already grown up!"
Zhou Chengsen was helpless. Ever since he taught his daughter to face everything bravely when she grew up, she kept saying this from time to time.
"Sister Ruan, Sister Nurse, let's go!"
The three were pulled out by the two children.
Perhaps influenced by the adults, the children in the Zhou family are very hospitable and enthusiastic towards guests.
After Ruan Tang was pulled by Zhou Ying about ten meters away, he looked back.
Zhou Chengsen pushed his bicycle into the yard.
I don’t know if he will go fishing later.
Zhou Chengsen parked his bicycle.
Zhou Chenglei packed up his tools for fishing and walked out of the garage.
"Let's eat first. The food will stay warm in the pot."
"Okay. I'll be there in a minute."
Zhou Chenglei called out to Jiang Xia in the room: "Xia Xia, are you okay?"
Jiang Xia changed the child's diaper and responded, "Coming!"
Then she said to her daughter, "You guys will go to the beach with your grandparents later, and I'll pick up some snails for you to eat."
She ate it and passed the milk to them, so if we round it up, it can be considered that they ate it.
Zhou's father and mother spend little time with their three children. Except when the children are sleeping or working, the two elders are reluctant to let go of the children, after all, they will return to Beijing in two days.
The two old people have many grandchildren, and they raised every one of them, except for the triplets. They may not see each other once a month, and every time they meet they have to carefully identify each other to tell who is who.
They were born to their most beloved youngest son and daughter-in-law, so naturally they were very rare. If they had not been weaned yet, they would have wanted to leave the three children at home and let them raise them.
Zhou's mother reminded them: "Alei, bring a few more hoes, there are a lot of sandworms on the beach recently."
My grandfather and my second aunt also went to the beach to catch seafood.
My grandma doesn't go fishing because digging for sandworms is too tiring.
She and Zhou's father and mother took the children for a walk on the beach.
Soon the whole family went out, except Zhou Chengsen who had not yet eaten.
It is not a high tide today, but there are still many people going to the beach.
I guess it’s because there are too many sandworms.
To dig sandworms, you need to be able to identify the sandworm eyes.
Zhou Chenglei taught Jiang Xia and Ruan Tang: "You can use a hoe to knock on the sand like this, and the sandworm eyes will spray water. You can also find clams by knocking like this."
Zhou Chenglei hit the beach hard with a hoe, and water came out of two small holes.
There is a little water on the surface of the mudflat, so to dig sandworms you have to learn how to dig holes and fill them with water.
"When digging sandworms, you need to surround the hole with sand to block the water and prevent seawater from flowing into the hole. You need to dig along the sandworm's hole..." Zhou Chenglei taught them while digging.
Then he dug seven or eight times before he saw the head or tail of the sandworm, and Jiang Xia couldn't tell the difference.
"Don't pull the sandworm too hard, otherwise it will break. It's best to pull it and then release it, and then pull it out all at once when it relaxes its vigilance." Zhou Chenglei bent down, reached out to grab the sandworm's tail, and pulled it out of the hole.
Jiang Xia watched him throw a flesh-colored sandworm as long as a finger into the bucket.
He knew that Jiang Xia was afraid of snakes and insects, so he didn't give it to Jiang Xia.
Nurse Li: "It looks like a roundworm in a human stomach!"
Jiang Xia: “…”
Nurse Su: "Hey, can you use another word to describe it? You make it sound so disgusting. Are we going to continue digging?"
"My description is quite apt!"
Children in that era were not as sophisticated and hygienic as they are today. Children did not wash their hands before eating, so even if food was eaten by flies, it would still be eaten into their stomachs, so many children would have roundworms.
People often come to the village to sell flower candies and use them to deworm children.
Zhou Chenglei said to them, "If you don't dare to dig, you can go over there to rake snails. There are people rake snails over there."
Zhou Ying couldn't dig out the sandworms, as they were hidden deep and needed a hoe to dig them out. She said to Ruan Tang, "Sister Ruan, Sister Nurse, let's go over there and pick up snails!"
Zhou Zhou: "I don't want to dig sandworms either."
The two nurses hurriedly said, "Okay! Let's go pick up snails!"
It just so happens that they don't want to dig sandworms.
Jiang Xia didn't go there. He was digging sandworms here with Zhou Chenglei.
Zhou Chenglei asked her: "Aren't you afraid?"
Jiang Xia: "You underestimate me, don't you? I'm not afraid of anything except snakes!"
Zhou Chenglei laughed and said, "Digging this is very tiring, go pick up snails."
"No, I haven't dug up sandworms yet."
I have eaten sandworms in Jiangxia and they are quite delicious.
She likes it.
Zhou Chenglei asked her to try it: "Wear gloves, otherwise your hands will get blisters."
Jiang Xia put on gloves and used a hoe to knock at the sandworm's eyes.
Once you find it, start digging.
It is not that easy to dig sandworms. They hide deep and are difficult to dig.
She dug seven or eight times before she saw a sandworm shrink into the hole.
Jiang Xia: "You come and pull it out."
Zhou Chenglei squatted down.
Zhou Chengsen came over after dinner and saw the couple digging sandworms here. He did not disturb them and walked towards his daughter.
But when he was about to get closer, his expression changed: "Come back!"
