"Please go ahead."
Mu Chenze looked like he was listening attentively.
Gu Zhiren said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Take me to pick up another ten sea duck eggs, and I'll tell you."
Mu Chenze had already figured out Mr. Gu's temper. Although he was a bit capricious, he was a kind old man. "I know this place well. Not to mention ten, even twenty is no problem. Follow me."
Gu Zhiren followed happily, "Did you bring a cloth bag? My pockets won't be able to hold it all."
The bird eggs are slightly small and can barely fit into your pocket.
Sea duck eggs are big, so they need to be placed in a cloth bag.
He was inexperienced and failed to prepare a cloth bag in advance.
But I believe Mu Chenze is an experienced person.
Sure enough, Mu Chenze took out a cloth bag folded into a small rectangle from his pocket and handed it to Gu Zhiren, "This is for you!"
Gu Zhiren chuckled, "It's not the value of a gift that matters, it's the timing. I like this gift! Take it!"
Wild ducks have the habit of building nests.
A few minutes later, Mu Chenze took him to a tree and pointed to a nest on a branch where there were two wild duck eggs.
"Uncle Gu, wild ducks like to live in groups, and there are still wild duck nests in this area. Please pick up these two first, and we will continue looking."
"Okay."
Gu Zhiren was as happy as a child, picking up duck eggs nimbly.
Gently put it into the cloth bag.
With experience, he specifically looked for nests on tree branches.
Half an hour later, there were more than twenty sea duck eggs in his cloth bag.
Mu Chenze took out the second cloth bag from his pocket and picked up a dozen or so.
He was better at finding than Gu Zhiren. He could not only find wild duck nests on tree branches, but also in the weeds on the ground.
I also caught two wild ducks.
Gu Zhiren looked envious.
Mu Chenze took out a piece of string from his pocket to tie up the wild duck and handed him one, "This one is for you."
Gu Zhiren happily accepted it. "Since you're so generous, I won't keep you in suspense. I suggest that you and your wife apply for a patent for any new products in the future."
Mu Chenze didn’t quite understand the concept of patents, but he knew that Gu Zhiren was knowledgeable and what he said must make sense.
"Thank you for your advice. Not only should new products be patented, but those already in production should also be patented."
"You are able to draw inferences about other situations."
Facing Gu Zhiren's praise, Mu Chenze said without a hint of modesty, "Of course I can! Otherwise, how can I marry Xiaoxuan?"
Gu Zhiren gave a thumbs up and said, "Xiao Xuan is truly rare. I've traveled to so many places, and there aren't many women as capable as her. You've found a treasure."
"Yes."
They picked up branches while chatting. After picking up a bundle of branches, Mu Chenze tied them up, put them on his back, and called out to Uncle Gu as they walked towards the beach.
When we arrived at the beach, we saw Wang Mingchen taking two buckets and a shoulder pole from the fishing boat.
Gu Zhiren pointed at him and said, "Are you going to fetch water? Is there fresh water on this island?"
Wang Mingchen smiled, showing his white teeth, "That's right."
Gu Zhiren looked incredulous. "We're surrounded by the sea, how could there be fresh water?"
Mr. Gu also came over and asked the same question.
Wang Mingchen scratched his head and looked at Mu Chenze, "You explain it! I can't explain it clearly."
Mu Chenze nodded and explained generously, "I specifically consulted an old professor of geology about this matter. He said that the unique geographical environment here has formed a natural and unique groundwater circulation system. There is a lot of rain here, and it is composed of coral reef rocks, which have good permeability and water storage capabilities..."
After listening to his explanation, Mr. Gu and his father had a rare resonance, saying that this trip was not in vain and they wanted to go see where to get fresh water.
Wang Mingchen took them to see the fresh water sources, of which there were several on the island.
They watched side by side very patiently.
More than an hour later, they had grilled seafood, roast duck and roast eggs.
After dinner, we played on the island until dark before returning to the fishing boat.
Mr. Gu was in high spirits and planned to continue sea fishing at night and return to the ship tomorrow.
Gu Zhiren also agreed.
Wang Mingchen and the others naturally accompanied them enthusiastically.
At around ten o'clock in the evening, Chu Xuan washed up and returned to the bedroom.
She didn't tell her family about the danger that happened today.
She went to cram school as usual tonight, and Mu Chenfu picked her and Fu Qing up.
Lying on the kang, she tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
She used to think that without the murderer Liang Shi, her husband's family would not be implicated by her in this life.
It now seems that Liang Shi had a backup plan.
I hope Min Yi can find evidence of Fang Tianjiao and Chu Tian’s crimes.
Chu Tian should know who Feng Chunhua's eldest son is, otherwise he wouldn't be able to take over Liang Shi's job. Yuan Tian should know too, right? As for Feng Chunhua, perhaps she really doesn't know.
There is even speculation that many years ago, Liang Shi gave birth to children to cultivate a leader who would continue to do bad things.
At this moment, it doesn’t matter whether he recognizes his grandparents or not. The most important thing is to find Feng Chunhua’s eldest son as soon as possible.
Fell into sleep in a daze.
The next day, after breakfast, Chu Xuan went to her mother's yard to make seaweed rolls.
Fu Qing had to go fishing and couldn't help. Qin Mahua had to go back to her parents' home temporarily, so she asked Gao Meijuan to help Xiao Xuan.
Gao Meijuan agreed without hesitation.
It was only after Chu Xuan met Gao Meijuan that she learned that her mother-in-law had returned to her parents' home.
According to my memory from my previous life, this month, my uncle should borrow the second sum of money from my mother-in-law.
She had borrowed some money before, but her mother-in-law didn't tell the family, so Chu Xuan pretended not to know about it.
It seems that this time, my mother-in-law still doesn't plan to tell the family.
Chu Xuan planned to continue playing dumb.
However, Fu Qing became cautious.
He did not go to the beach to catch fish, but quietly followed Qin Mahua.
Qin Mahua didn't find her eldest daughter-in-law.
When he arrived at his mother's house and saw his younger brother Qin Chao, he took out five thousand yuan in cash from his pocket.
"Big brother, count it."
Qin Chao looked grateful, "Sister, thank you! It's really timely."
He spat on his fingers and began to count the money.
After a while, the counting was finished.
"It is indeed five thousand yuan. Sister, when I make money, I will definitely pay you back along with the money I paid last time. Brother-in-law doesn't know about this yet, right?"
"Not only your brother-in-law, but no one else in the family knows about it. Don't let it slip. I have something else to do, so I won't stay any longer. I'm leaving!"
Qinmahua comes and goes in a hurry.
I didn't notice Fu Qing outside the wall.
After Qin Mahua walked away, Fu Qing rode his bike back to the village via a shortcut. He had borrowed the bike from Accountant Wen and had to return it.
The tools for catching seafood are still in the accounting office.
I went back to return the bicycle, put on my tools for going to the beach, and walked towards the secret beach going place.
Hesitating whether to discuss this matter with Chu Xuan.
The mother-in-law shouldn't have lent money to the Qin family without telling them.
This time I borrowed five thousand, and I don’t know how much I borrowed last time.
Five thousand yuan was a huge sum of money in that era. It could build six or seven large red brick and tile houses with courtyards, and could also buy two jobs in the county town. If deposited in the bank, it could earn a lot of interest. But if it was lent to the Qin family, it was not known when it would be repaid.
If the Qin family makes money from business, it's fine. But if they lose money...
Fu Qing thought of this and suddenly walked back.
She really wasn't in the mood to go to the beach today, so she decided to go find Xiaoxuan and ask for her advice.
After about ten minutes, we arrived at Xiaoxuan's house.
After knocking on the door and entering, he first greeted Gao Meijuan and then called Xiao Xuan aside to talk.
"Xiao Xuan, our mother secretly lent our uncle 5,000 yuan, and more than once. She didn't discuss this with anyone. I'm really worried that our uncle's business will fail and our money will be wasted. I'd like to hear your opinion."
