Thinking about how they make a living by fishing, and how they eat seafood for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, Jiang Yan reminded her, "Sister, eat seafood in moderation, and eat more whole grains and vegetables to avoid gout."
Ah Mei looked curious and asked in confusion: "Sister-in-law, what is gout? We in the Dan family have no land, so we can't grow vegetables. We have been eating like this all our lives."
Jiang Yan believed that she had seen it before, and explained: "It is a kind of joint disease, such as joint pain, edema, and joint deformation. This kind of chronic disease is not easy to treat, and prevention is the main thing."
Upon hearing this, Nian A'mei's face changed immediately. Obviously, she also remembered that there were several elderly people on the boat who had deformed joints and were in excruciating pain.
She went to the hospital, but the doctor couldn't help. She came back in agony. She said nervously, "Then I'd better improve the diet at home and stop eating seafood every day. After hearing what you said, my hands and feet hurt a little. I wonder if I have gout too!"
Jiang Yan smiled and tapped her head. "You are just imagining things. How old are you and you already have gout? This disease usually occurs in middle-aged and elderly people."
Nian A-mei patted her chest and exhaled, "I feel relieved. Gout is not easy to cure, and I am most afraid of pain.
From now on, you must control your mouth. Come on, let's get on the boat."
It is called a small fishing village because it is a village where boats are connected to each other, and they are all large fishing boats. The whole family eats, drinks, defecates and urinates on the boats.
On the deck, the gentle and kind old lady saw Jiang Yan, walked over quickly on her small feet, and enthusiastically took her hand: "Xiao Yan, I've been looking forward to seeing you for a long time, and now you're finally here. You introduced a date to our sister, and I haven't thanked you yet!
Come in quickly, have a quick breakfast, and then we'll set off. I'm old and can't stand the wind and waves on the sea, so let her father take you!
I will go and look after the stall with her grandpa and brother, and when we save enough money, we will go to the mainland to buy some land and settle down on the island.”
These wandering fishermen are not welcomed by the locals, who think they are unlucky.
Therefore, they try their best all their lives to own a piece of land on the mainland so that they can return to their roots and not have nowhere to be buried after their death.
Jiang Yan followed her into the cabin and saw that the small place was decorated simply and warmly, with everything it needed.
She smiled and said, "Grandma, why are you in such a hurry? Just wait a few more years. Who knows, the wind might change by then. If a new policy is introduced, we will be like pigs standing on the wind, and we will fly away as soon as the wind blows."
Grandma Nian likes to listen to Jiang Yan talk. Not only does she have a sweet voice, but she also says things she likes to hear.
A stool was pulled up for Jiang Yan to sit on, and Nian A Niang brought the food. For breakfast, there was steamed sea bass and steamed buns made from 200 grams of flour.
There were also homemade pickled radishes and a few luxuriously fried eggs, which were placed in front of the Lu family, which was considered a sign of respect.
In those days, it was not easy for anyone to earn work points, and most families were still eating steamed buns made with wild vegetables!
Lu Li is a good cook. She was a little full, but she still managed to eat a steamed bun with a fried egg.
Seeing that she hadn't eaten much, Nian A'niang asked with concern, "Xiaoyan, is the food not to your liking? What do you like to eat? I'll go make you two dishes."
Jiang Yanni glanced at her and said, "Mother, how can a guest come up to order food? I ate too much this morning and now I can't eat any more. I'm going to vomit if I eat any more. Don't worry about me. Eat quickly. We'll leave after we finish eating. My whole family can't wait."
The others finished their meals, and Lu Yan and Lu Li diligently helped to clean up.
Nian A Niang said to Miao Xiuying: "Your two sons are good. They can help with housework. My family is in a mess. It's my fault that I didn't teach them since they were young. You are more far-sighted."
Miao Xiuying chuckled, "If I don't teach my sons, I'll be exhausted. Your sister and brother are capable and can make money, so why bother with these trivial matters? We can do it together."
Brother Nian tied the wooden barrel to the cart and waved to them, "Mother, Father, we are going to set up the stall and wait for your safe return."
Nian's father was a man of few words. He nodded. Nian's mother smiled and said, "Since your sister is not here, everything depends on you. Don't leave any seafood uneaten for dinner. You also have to learn to support the family. Otherwise, who will support your father and I in the future?"
Brother Nian scratched his head embarrassedly and nodded obediently: "Mother, I understand. I won't let you and father starve to death. Then I'll open the stall!"
They set up stalls at fixed locations, and everyone has a tacit understanding that they will not take up each other's space.
After he left, Nian A'niang was still sighing, "He is such an honest man, how will he find a wife in the future? I am worried about him.
Sister, don’t you have many friends? Introduce him a man. This man can only establish a career if he gets married. Otherwise, he will have no future.”
The older generation all think that men become mature and can take care of the family once they get married.
Nian A'mei was bending over to pack up her fishing gear. She said without even looking up, "Mother, let's talk about it when we meet the right one. My brother is a cunning man. If we find him a cunning woman, he won't be good enough to play with. I'm also afraid that he will be cheated."
This friend is good at playing around, and that's just for the sake of appearance. But now, I heard that she found an officer in the army who has a high allowance and is handsome. People have been trying to find out about it from her in both open and covert ways, asking her boyfriend to introduce her to some comrades.
If she hasn't agreed, it's fine if your introduction is good, but if the man doesn't work out and she doesn't have a good life in the future, she will think that you deliberately cheated her and will be sarcastic to her.
Nian A'niang thought about her brother's personality and decided that he really needed to find someone who could live a stable life with him. The woman was very wild and he couldn't control her.
After packing up, Nian Adie sailed out to sea! The fishermen nearby saw a strange face in his house and greeted him, "Hey, Nian Adie, are there guests at your house?"
Nian's father said in a dull voice: "These are my sister's friends, they are from Yun Province, they have never been out to sea. The weather is good today, let's take them out for a walk."
When the neighbors heard this, they knew that this was the man who introduced a boyfriend to her younger sister.
His eyes fell on Jiang Yan, and then his eyes widened.
My goodness, is this a fairy? Some people pinched their thighs several times, grimacing in pain. Oh my god, this is not a dream, is there really someone who looks so awesome?
Those people looked at her with kindness, but Jiang Yan ignored them. She was on the deck, enjoying the sea breeze, feeling very comfortable.
Lu Li looked at the blue sea and said in a relaxed tone: "Sister-in-law, can we catch something big today?"
Miao Xiuying and the others focused their attention on her. You know, Jiang Yan was the lucky star blessed by the Dragon Mother. Whether they could get the big catch today depended entirely on her.
