Chapter 119 Lame Excuse



After walking around the area, Jiang Yan discovered a small reef that was sloping, like a pothole that suddenly appeared on the road.

It’s just because the range is large that the potholes are not obvious, but there is still a difference of two or three meters between the highest point and the lowest point.

Jiang Yan carried the bucket and went down to take a look. She was shocked to see that there were quite a few sea cucumbers and abalone hidden in the puddles.

She quickly picked up a palm-sized sea cucumber and threw it into the bucket, then looked at the progress of the task.

【Task Progress】:

1. Abalone (2.1/20 catties)

2. Sea cucumber (2.4/20 catties)

Seeing the numbers change, Jiang Yan hurriedly threw all the sea cucumbers and abalone she could see around her into the bucket, and the progress of the task was also rapidly increasing.

In a short while, she had picked up a bucket full of sea cucumbers and abalone.

But this area is large, and there are many seafood scattered on the reef.

After putting the sea cucumbers and abalone in the bucket into the space, Jiang Yan ran up, shouted loudly for He Hongxiu and the others to come over, and then continued to pick up seafood.

After completing the task, Jiang Yan was no longer so anxious.

In addition to abalone and sea cucumbers, she also picked up a lot of lobsters, mantis shrimps and some beautiful large conches, and caught several large groupers and other fish in the deeper puddles.

It can be said to be a great harvest!

He Hongxiu and the other two were also extremely happy.

“Lots of abalone.”

"Oh my god, these southern sea cucumbers are really big. They are half the length of my arm, but they are ugly."

Feng Yingchun is a bit of a face-obsessed person, but Yuan Sufeng is a pragmatist.

"Don't be so rude, this stuff can nourish your body if you eat it."

"When the time comes, I'll dry them out and send some back to my parents in my hometown. They've suffered a lot in the village."

He Hongxiu also smiled, looked at Jiang Yan and said, "Sister, let's get some solid stuff together then."

"Sure, no problem."

Jiang Yan thought about it and realized that the house hadn’t been lively for a long time.

"We've picked up so much today, including quite a few big fish, why don't the four of us have a meal together."

"Sure!"

"I agree."

"Sister Su Feng and I haven't tasted Sister Jiang Yan's cooking yet."

The sisters-in-law all agreed with Jiang Yan's proposal. The relationship between the families was already good, and it would be a good opportunity to bring them closer.

Today's trip to the beach made the three sisters-in-law even more convinced that Jiang Yan was a lucky star and had a destiny.

They decided to have a dinner together in the evening, so they picked up some more seafood, including the edible shells and crabs that they had thrown away before, to increase the richness of the food.

The few of them were busy until high tide, and they had picked up a lot of seafood, and there was even a small pile of it near the woods on the shore.

Even if four families eat to their heart's content, there will still be a lot left for each family.

Moreover, this place has a good location, and they can come here to catch seafood in the future.

Before others find out, they can come at least two or three times, and they should be able to save up a lot of dried abalone and sea cucumbers.

Because there were too many things, a few people found a few large leaves, put the extra seafood in the leaves, and carried the bucket home.

When the four of them returned to the family compound, they had already missed lunch time. The three sisters-in-law decided to go home to eat first and then prepare for the dinner together in the evening.

There were a few steamed buns that had not been eaten this morning. Jiang Yan took the buns and some seasonings and went to He Hongxiu's house.

"Come in and sit down. I'll be done eating soon."

He Hongxiu ate mixed grain rice with a small dish of pickled vegetables, which seemed to be specially made in the morning.

Seeing Jiang Yan coming, she hurriedly smiled and waved. After Jiang Yan sat down, she pushed the small pickles on the table in front of her.

"This little pickle is pretty good, let's make do with it."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

After saying thank you, Jiang Yan pushed the pickles back to the middle of the table.

Seeing that she was carrying a cloth bag, He Hongxiu asked curiously, "Sister, what are you carrying?"

"Oh, we came at the right time. We can eat some pickled vegetables from my sister-in-law's house. Sister Hongxiu is really good at pickling pickles."

Before Jiang Yan could answer, Yuan Sufeng and Feng Yingchun walked in one after another, and He Hongxiu hurriedly asked them to sit down.

The two also saw the bag that Jiang Yan brought and asked curiously.

Spreading the bag on the table, Jiang Yan explained, "These are the seasonings we'll use tonight. I brought some with me."

Yuan Sufeng and Feng Yingchun didn't say anything, but looked at Jiang Yan in surprise. He Hongxiu was also a little stunned.

"Sister, after all, it was you who suggested this, so let's do it at your house."

The four of them had a great harvest today. Having a meal together was a proud thing, so everyone agreed to have the meal at Jiang Yan's house.

But now, Jiang Yan actually gave this opportunity to He Hongxiu.

Speaking of which, Sheng Pinghua is the husband with the highest position among the four families, and he usually takes good care of everyone.

After getting married, Lu Yunsheng troubled Sheng Pinghua many times, but Sheng Pinghua never complained and always handled things very well.

What's more, Lu Yunsheng is two levels lower than Sheng Pinghua. If he were to have a dinner at Jiang Yan's house, he would inevitably stand out.

It's okay once or twice, but if it happens too often, it might upset people.

Relationships need to be maintained.

Besides, the sisters-in-law are not unreasonable people. Even if they have a dinner at He Hongxiu's house, everyone knows that Jiang Yan has made a great contribution in this matter, and they will say good things about her in their hearts.

That's enough.

Jiang Yan blinked her eyes and said, "Sister-in-law, please, let's cook at your house. There are more than a dozen people eating. I will have to clean up until late at night."

"My sisters-in-law know that I'm a bit lazy. I was exhausted from hosting the wedding banquet last time."

Hearing this, several sisters-in-law laughed. They knew that Jiang Yan was making excuses, and they were lame excuses at that.
