Chapter 658 Harmony
Jiang Xia heard Zhou Chengsen shouting and looked over.
Zhou Chenglei also looked over.
Not far away, Ruan Tang ran to the sea to pick up Zhou Ying's small flower hat that was blown into the sea by the wind. When she heard Zhou Chengsen's shout, she subconsciously turned back and said, "It's okay, I'm just picking up the hat!"
Zhou Chengsen rushed into the water like an arrow, grabbed Ruan Tang's arm and pulled her back to the shore.
He held her arm tightly and said, "Are you going to die?"
His tone wasn't great, but he tried to soften it.
Just now, when he saw Ruan Tang walking into the sea, and the waves in front of her had no waves and the color was wrong, Zhou Chengsen's heart almost jumped out.
That's a rip current! I was afraid she would chase that hat and walk into the rip current area.
Ruan Tang didn't understand the source of his anger. Did he think that she wanted to jump into the sea to commit suicide? Ruan Tang explained: "I was just picking up the hat. Yingying's hat was blown into the sea by the wind. The sea water is not deep, not even up to my knees. If it was too deep, I wouldn't continue to move forward. It's not summer now, it's not so cold."
The little flower hat was carried away by the waves, but the water looked shallow and Ruan Tang could swim, so she ran to pick it up.
Two nurses also pulled Zhou Zhou over.
Nurse Li also saw it and explained: "Yes, it was just the hat that was blown into the sea."
Zhou Ying was standing by the side. Ruan Tang had just stopped her from getting close to the water, so she hurriedly said, "Dad, the strong wind blew my hat away. Sister Ruan was helping me pick it up. It was the little flower hat you bought for me. Don't be so mean, you're so mean!"
“…”
Is he that fierce?
Zhou Chengsen glanced at Ruan Tang and realized that he was still holding her tightly. He loosened his grip and tried to soften his tone: "I'm sorry, I'm not being mean to you, I was just worried and didn't pay attention to my tone in a hurry."
"I know."
Even though she knew that his worry had no other meaning, Ruan Tang's heart still beat a little uncontrollably.
My arm was still burning where he had held it tightly.
She shook it subconsciously.
Zhou Chengsen took a look and wondered if he had been rude and hurt her.
"Is your arm injured?"
Ruan Tang let go and shook his head: "No."
Zhou Chengsen looked at his daughter and said, "If you blow it into the sea, you don't want it anymore. Dad will buy you another one. Look carefully at the sea."
Zhou Ying looked over when she heard it, her face turned pale. The sea in front of her had very few waves compared to the sea on the two sides, and it looked very calm. Her little flower hat was visible just now, but now it was gone. In just a moment, it had been carried far away.
"Is it a rip current?"
Dad had taught her how to spot a rip current before.
"Yes, look at your hat. Is it gone? It was carried out to the open sea in just a moment. Dad has taught you many times that when we are at the beach, we must always pay attention to the waves and the high tide, otherwise we may lose our lives if we are not careful."
Zhou Ying corrected her mistake immediately: "I understand. I will definitely remember it next time."
Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei also rushed over at this time.
Jiang Xia asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Chenglei glanced at the sea: "It's a rip current."
After hearing this, Jiang Xia looked towards the sea.
She hadn’t seen a rip current yet.
Zhou Chenglei had also taught her about rip currents before, saying that if you see a rip current at the beach, you should not approach it, and you should not swim in the rip current area.
To put it simply, offshore flow means that the incoming waves build a channel for themselves, allowing them to quickly flow back to the deep sea.
It is a narrow and strong stream of water with a very fast flow and a calm surface. It is not easy to be detected, making people think it is safe.
But in just a few seconds, it can bring swimmers on the shore or people who fall into the water to the open sea area.
"What is a rip current?" Ruan Tang didn't know and had never heard of it.
Zhou Chengsen pointed to the particularly calm sea in front of him and said, "Look at the difference between this sea in front of you and the one next to it."
Ruan Tang looked over and carefully distinguished it: "It's relatively calm, not many waves?"
"Yes. And the color is different from other places. Did you notice it?"
Ruan Tang took a careful look and found that it was indeed a little different, a little darker, but without a close look, no one could tell.
The two nurses didn't understand this either, so they looked at it carefully and said, "It seems to be really different."
"I didn't expect such a calm sea to be so dangerous."
Zhou Chengsen: "Something must be wrong when it's not normal. Sometimes the calmer an area of the sea is, the better you should stay away from it. When you go to the beach, you should always check whether the tide is high, especially when you go to an unfamiliar beach. When the tide is low, the trench may be exposed. The tide rises very quickly, and before you can get back to the shore, the water level in the trench may be higher than you."
Ruan Tang nodded: "I see. I don't know of any other places to go fishing, I only know that you can go fishing here."
Zhou Ying: "Yes, Sister Ruan, don't go to unfamiliar beaches to catch seafood by yourself. Come to our village and ask my dad to take us there. He can drive a boat out to catch seafood! He knows a lot of places to catch seafood! With my dad here, it will be safe."
Ruan Tang smiled: "Okay, I just don't want to trouble you and your dad. Does Yingying find it troublesome?"
"I don't mind! My dad doesn't mind either. Right, Dad?" Zhou Ying shook Zhou Chengsen's arm.
If Sister Ruan comes to ask her father to take her to go fishing, she can also join in.
Adults don't like taking children out to sea.
Zhou Chengsen had no choice but to nod: "No trouble, I'm free during holidays."
Children who grow up by the sea must learn how to swim and catch seafood, as these are considered survival skills.
Being able to swim can save your life; being able to see the eyes of a snail won’t keep you from going hungry; no matter how poor you are, you will always have a meal of snails to eat.
It's also time to take the children to the beach more often to learn about the various types of snail eyes.
Nurse Li smiled and said, "Yingying, let's go fishing too. Can you take us with you? Are you afraid of trouble?"
Nurse Su also said, "Yes! I also want to go to the beach with Yingying."
Zhou Ying immediately said, "Don't be afraid of trouble! Come on! Everyone, come! We pick up the snails here and roast them, they are delicious!"
Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Okay, let's continue picking snails! Pick up more and roast them for dinner tonight."
"Yeah!" Zhou Ying just wanted to have a barbecue tonight!
She quickly pulled Zhou Chengsen and then Ruan Tang: "Dad, Sister Ruan, let's go pick up the snails. Dad, you rake the snails! You rake them, and Sister Ruan and I will pick them up together."
"You are good at planning." Having said that, Zhou Chengsen took the snail-raking tools, found a piece of beach and started raking the snails.
When the rake teeth scrape the sand, the snails and white clams hidden under the sand are turned out.
I was lucky enough to find three or four snails with one raking.
Ruan Tang and Zhou Zhou were picking up the sand in the turned over sand, while Zhou Chengsen was raking in front.
Zhou Chenglei took Jiang Xia to dig sandworms and make sandworm porridge tonight.
Jiang Xia planned to collect some dried sandworms from the villagers when he returned to Beijing and take them to Beijing to eat, and also give them to others.
Jiang Xia had just dug a few sandworms when he got tired. He handed the hoe to Zhou Chenglei and asked him to dig: "You dig! I'll go pick up snails."
Zhou Chenglei pulled out the sandworm and took the hoe.
Jiang Xia glanced at Zhou Zhou and two nurses picking up snails, then glanced in the direction of Zhou Ying.
Suddenly I felt that the scene where Zhou Chengsen took Ruan Tang and Zhou Ying to pick up conchs together was quite harmonious.
Li Xiuxian also felt the same way.
And the harmony is dazzling!
