Fu Wan's words were echoed by Fu Laoda and Ye Xiaocui. Since they were both at home, it would be good for them to go out for a walk.
Before leaving the house, we had to get ready, so the family immediately divided the tasks.
Some people cleared the dishes, while others swept the floor.
Fortunately, Ye Xiaocui usually likes to clean the stove when she cooks, so it only took a few minutes to clean everything up.
"Let's go to the beach!"
Fu Wan washed her hands, and Fu Ling cheered. She couldn't wait to grab her net and bucket, and pulled Qin Mingzhu along, skipping and jumping outside.
While adults take a walk, children are not so well-behaved.
They dig for seashells and catch crabs, running around non-stop.
However, since they were right under her nose, Fu Wan let them be. Kids just love to play, as long as they didn't sneak into the water.
It was July, and the weather was getting warmer. As soon as Fu Wan stepped out to the beach, she encountered many uncles and aunts strolling around, fanning themselves.
These days, there are few entertainment options, and you can only watch open-air movies if the projectionist brings the equipment to the village.
Ordinary households didn't have televisions, and they felt bad about wasting electricity by playing the radio all day, so going out for a stroll and chatting became one of the essential forms of entertainment for everyone.
Many children usually like to run to Old Master Fu's house to watch TV in the evenings. Today, seeing Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu running out, they followed them.
A group of children ran ahead, while Fu Wan and her friends followed behind. The children were making a lot of noise, and Fu Wan felt that something was off. After a while, she realized what was going on and couldn't help but laugh.
"Hey, how did Big Yellow get mixed up with the kids' gang?"
Sure enough, the dog followed closely behind the children, and the children adored it, with each one occasionally reaching out to pet it.
Most children still like Dahuang, and they touch it very gently, afraid of hurting it.
However, a few children were mischievous and secretly plucked the fur from Big Yellow. Big Yellow couldn't speak, but it didn't bite either. It just disdainfully hid to the other side and ignored the child.
Dogs can't talk, but Fu Ling's eyes are very sharp, and the child who had the mischievous hand quickly faced the children's condemnation.
However, as long as you don't physically harm them, the adults won't interfere.
Aunt Huang and the others grew to like Big Yellow more and more the more they looked at it.
"Dahuang is such a good dog, he even takes care of puppies!"
"That's right, Xiao Cui and A Wan! If your dog has puppies, you absolutely have to let me know!"
Ye Xiaocui smiled and nodded repeatedly; she was happy that her dog was so popular.
The road along the beach is long, and many people, after walking for a while, can't resist going to the mudflats to try their luck.
Some people walked around twice and felt it was about right, so they went home to sleep.
As Fu Wan and Fu Ming walked, they realized that Fu Ling, Qin Mingzhu, and Da Huang had already run far away.
Two children were digging for something on the beach in the distance. Fu Wan strolled over slowly, peeked inside, and saw that the bucket contained several conches and three dawn crabs the size of eggs.
"Hey, you guys caught some crabs?"
"Yes, Mom, can we make spicy crab with this crab?"
After saying that, she swallowed hard. Fu Wan was also helpless. Ye Xiaocui usually didn't let her eat spicy food, but Fu Ling, like herself, couldn't live without spicy food.
"I can't make the Dawn Crab, but if you want some, I'll catch a few Blue Crabs for you to take home and cook later."
Dawn crabs are relatively small, about the size of an egg, so they don't have much meat.
But the dawn crab is very beautiful, with its yellow-green shell covered with purplish-red dots, looking just like the stars in the sky.
Besides its beautiful shell, the Dawn Crab's legs are also quite attractive. In addition to matching the colors and patterns on its back, the legs also have distinct dark blue spots along their edges, making them very pretty.

It's called the dawn crab because this type of crab usually appears in the early morning and generally hides in the sand.
These Dawn Crabs were probably dug out of the sand by Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu.
Upon hearing that it couldn't be made into spicy crab, Fu Ling immediately lost interest.
But since she had dug it herself, she couldn't bear to let it go.
"Why don't we take it home and raise it?"
Qin Mingzhu suggested that Fu Wan had bought them a small fish tank when she went to the county town last time, and there were several pretty little ornamental fish in it.
But these crabs might not survive if you throw them in.
After all, there is water and fish in the fish tank. Although there is sand at the bottom, those ornamental fish are also fierce. Who knows, they might eat the crabs one day.
However, Fu Wan couldn't spoil the fun; if the children wanted to raise them, then let them.
As Fu Wan was talking to Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu, a splash came from not far away. Fu Wan looked up and saw that Fu Ming had gone into the water.
"Brother, why are you going into the water?"
"Oh, the water is so refreshing. Since I'm already here, I might as well take a bath before going back."
There aren't many people around here, so I can splash around in the sea for a bit and save myself the trouble of fetching water to take a shower when I get back.
Fu Wan was relieved to hear this. She had thought that Fu Ming was out of his mind and had gone to the water to clear his head.
"Wan, look what I caught!"
Ye Xiaocui's delighted voice rang out as she caught a palm-sized blue crab in her hand, while Boss Fu was still turning over stones beside her.
Ye Xiaocui and her husband didn't stop for a moment while they strolled over.
Upon hearing her granddaughter say she wanted to eat spicy crab, she immediately rolled up her trousers and strolled around the seaside, thinking of catching a few crabs to take home.
Fu Laoda and Ye Xiaocui were both skilled at beachcombing, and they only needed to turn over two or three rocks before they discovered the traces of blue crabs.
"Mother, you guys are moving way too fast!"
Fu Wan couldn't help but sigh; she hadn't even started her plan yet, and her parents had already caught her.
Ye Xiaocui often says that she spoils her child, but in fact, it is Ye Xiaocui herself who spoils the child the most.
However, as usual, Ye Xiaocui would still nag a bit.
"Then I'll give it a try."
My parents have already started making rolls, and I can't just stand by and watch.
Fu Wan also joined the search for the blue crab, but at this moment, the big yellow dog sitting next to Fu Ling was staring at the water with a serious expression.
"rhubarb!"
Fu Ling let out a startled cry, followed by a splash as she plunged into the water.
Fu Wan stood up in surprise, not expecting that Da Huang would also jump into the water and swim towards Fu Ming's direction.
"What's Big Yellow doing? Does it want to take a bath too?"
Ye Xiaocui asked in confusion, and Fu Wan shook her head, "Don't tell me you thought my brother was drowning and went to save him!"
And sure enough, Fu Wan was right.
Da Huang didn't notice Fu Ming when he went into the water. But Fu Ming was having so much fun that he kept making noise on the surface.
Now that Da Huang saw it, yesterday was the first time in its dog life that it had saved someone. Thinking about the delicious big bone it would eat today, Da Huang jumped into the sea without saying a word.
Save the two-legged creatures, and you'll get a big bone to eat!
Fu Ming was deeply moved as he watched the big yellow dog swim towards him.
However, just as Fu Ming opened his arms to welcome Da Huang, Da Huang suddenly turned around and swam away as if it had seen something terrifying.
