Zhao Yuyan was curious, so she stopped what she was doing, shook off the sand on her hands, and walked towards that direction.

After squeezing into the crowd, what she saw was a pile of green things. She couldn't tell what they were, but they were definitely not seafood.

Except for Xiaoguo, the few people on the ground all looked depressed.

"After all this time, I only caught a bunch of kelp. That's all I had to eat."

Xiaozhu looked at the few sea fishes in the barrel sadly. They were so pitiful that they were not even enough to fill her stomach.

Yu Ling took out the last sea fish in the fishing net in disappointment and threw it into the bucket. After working hard for most of the day, she only caught five sea fish, and the rest were all green unidentified objects.

"It's okay, I just like kelp, the more the better!"

Xiaoguo's attitude towards kelp is completely different from theirs, she likes it very much.

Kelp is nutritious. Besides seaweed, she likes kelp the most. It is perfect for making soup, stuffing, or salad. Whatever you want comes true!

Yuling and Xiaozhu heard this and thought she was trying to comfort them on purpose.

The two looked at each other, and their thoughts were the same.

Sister Xiaoguo is about to go home, so you must not sigh today and you must be happy.

After they encouraged themselves, they looked at Xiaoguo again, their facial expressions fully expressing that they were very satisfied and happy.

Xiaozhu said, "Kelp is really a good thing!"

"That's right!" Yu Ling chimed in. Although she just found out that the green thing was kelp, it didn't affect her praise at all.

"This kelp is really something good. It's great! It tastes good when eaten..."

“…”

Well, she still didn't know what was so good about kelp.

Xiaoguo nodded and inadvertently glanced at the crowd around her who were attracted by them.

Good guy, just to see the catch of the fishing net, I even went out to the sea. What a good opportunity, hehe~

Xiaoguo looked at the crowd and secretly winked at Zhao Yuyan, who immediately understood and started picking seafood.

After all, a person has limited time, so Xiaoguo secretly asked Zhuangzhuang and Xiaozhu to join in. They pretended to pack up the fishing nets casually, slowly walked out of the crowd's sight, and then went outside to start picking seafood crazily.

The people around were still watching Yu Ling sorting the kelp with great interest.

"Oh, how can we eat so much kelp?"

Yu Lingsi didn't notice that she was the only one sorting the kelp in the fishing net at the moment, and she was still muttering to herself about the benefits of kelp.

Just like this, originally three people could sort out a bag of kelp quickly, but if only one person is left, that would be hard to say.

However, the slower Yu Ling sorted things out, the more Xiao Guo liked it.

Strangely enough, these people who go fishing are so willing to spend half a day just looking at a pile of kelp.

This resulted in a situation where, after Yuling had finished piling up the kelp, Xiaoguo and a few others also had a good harvest, but when the others were about to concentrate on picking seafood, they were dumbfounded, as all around them were crooked melons and cracked dates, with not a single good one left.

Xiaoguo and his companions, already very contented, carried their small boat, which contained several buckets of seafood, and went back happily.

On the way back, I saw from a distance the old village chief and a villager waiting at the door, with a horse-drawn carriage parked beside them.

The cheerful atmosphere just now suddenly became cloudy.

Because everyone knew that Xiaoguo was leaving.

Zhuangzhuang also felt something was wrong, so he closed his smiling mouth and quietly carried the boat.

"Madam, we can go now."

The old village chief stepped forward and spoke first, breaking the gloomy atmosphere.

"Okay, I'll pack up and leave."

Xiaoguo replied with a smile.

A few people moved the boat into the yard, placed it where it would not be in the way, and began to share the seafood.

"Sister Xiaoguo, please take all of these. We can go catch more if we need them."

Xiaozhu wanted to carry all three buckets onto the carriage, but Xiaoguo stopped her.

"I don't need so much. Give me the bucket with more kelp."

In Xiaoguo's eyes at this moment, kelp is more attractive than other seafood.

"No, kelp is not as delicious as meat."

As they spoke, the three of them worked together to lift all the barrels onto the carriage.

Seeing this, Xiaoguo brought down another bucket of pure seafood for them and kept the two buckets with kelp for herself.

"Okay, okay, I won't argue anymore. Just keep it and eat it. Don't let it go bad. Try to eat it as soon as possible."

Xiaoguo saw that some people wanted to give her some seafood, so she said, "I will come here often. Let's go fishing together next time."

The three of them smiled when they heard her say that.

Xiaozhu and Yuling were young and burst into tears immediately. Zhao Yuyan was fine, but she felt a little sad about her body...

After this separation, I don’t know if we will meet again.

"Okay, okay, stop crying. Be good and live a good life. I promise I will come to play with you often."

Xiao Guo hugged the two tearful little girls with heartache and patted their backs to comfort them.

Wanting to get home before dark, Xiao Guo did not dare to waste time. After coaxing the two little girls, he picked up his bag and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, Xiaoguo looked at Zhao Yuyan, and they nodded silently as if to say goodbye.

Xiaoguo was also unsure whether Zhao Yuyan would still be there the next time they met...

Thinking of this, I couldn't help feeling sad, afraid that the tears that I had managed to control would burst out again, so I quickly said goodbye, wiped my tears, and got on the carriage.

Xiao Zhuangzhuang was also busy saying goodbye to a few people. Finally, he nodded heavily to Zhao Yuyan, which made the other party smile. Then he shrank back into the carriage with a red face.

"Let's go! If you need anything, come to me and I'll be right over!"

Before leaving, Xiaoguo leaned out of the carriage and gave instructions with concern.

"knew!"

Xiaozhu and Yuling swallowed their sobs and waved desperately in the direction she left.

Zhao Yuyan watched the carriage go farther and farther away, her eyes dimmed, and she said softly in her heart, "Goodbye..."

"Mother~"

Zhuangzhuang watched the carriage go away and then called out "Xiaoguo".

Xiaoguo thought he was reluctant to let her go and was about to say a few words of comfort.

Unexpectedly, Zhuangzhuang shook his head to show that he was fine, "Mom, there is something in my bag that Aunt Yuyan asked me to give you."

"Aunt Yuyan asked you to give it to me?"

"Um!"

Xiaoguo was curious now. Why didn't he hand it to her himself but let Zhuangzhuang do it for him?

Seeing that she didn't respond, Zhuangzhuang took the bag himself, lowered his head and searched, and soon found something the size of a palm wrapped in cloth.

When I hold the small fruit in my hand, it feels like a piece of stone.

"No wonder you had to pack your own bag. It turns out you have such a little secret."

Zhuangzhuang smiled embarrassedly, "Aunt Yuyan didn't let me tell you, and said it was a surprise and I could only give it to you after we left. This is a promise from a little man!"

After hearing what he said, Xiaoguo became even more curious. She lowered her head and looked at the thing in her hand. What could this mysterious thing be?

The wrapping cloth was torn open in no time. The thing inside was something Xiaoguo had forgotten but had once longed for: the night-shining stone!

"When did Aunt Yuyan give this to you?"

"Give it to me yesterday afternoon."

"Did I say anything when I gave it to you?"

Zhuangzhuang thought about it carefully and said, "I didn't say anything else. I just said that this thing was left by her a long time ago, and it's okay for you to keep it without worry."

Xiaoguo took a breath of cool air. Maybe it was a piece that was secretly hidden a long time ago when the island was building a cellar?

Is this something she can keep?

Xiaoguo hesitated. Since it was a national product, it would be difficult for him to use it himself.

However, he changed his mind and thought that no one would know if he used it at night, not to mention that it was just a small piece of night-shining stone, so it would not matter if he used it. After thinking it through, Xiaoguo accepted it with confidence.

This trip was really rewarding.
