Dangsheng glanced into her bucket in confusion.
That look made Jiang Mengxue feel a little ashamed, because all she could catch were small shrimps, the longest of which was only the length of a finger.
It's nothing compared to the prawn he caught.
“Don’t look at my small size, I can make a whole dish if I stir-fry it.
I came to thank you for your crab, but I can't take your things for free."
Dang Sheng glanced at Jiang Mengxue, probably thinking that he was going to return the crab to him, so he turned around and wanted to leave.
But Jiang Mengxue couldn't let him go again, so she reached out and grabbed his arm.
"Don't go, don't go. I don't want to return it to you, but I can exchange it with you for something.
What do you need? If you want to exchange it, you can give it to me."
Dang Sheng looked up and glanced at Jiang Mengxue carefully, then lowered his head and said nothing.
Because he was not wearing shoes, his little feet were scratching the ground, and some parts of his feet were scratched with small wounds.
But people here seem to be used to going into the water barefoot.
They tied their shoes and hung them on their shoulders or carried them in a backpack. They didn't dare leave them on the shore for fear that someone would take them away.
Many people don’t even have cloth shoes, and those with platinum still have straw sandals.
The same goes for Dangsheng. He had a pair of almost falling apart straw sandals hanging around his waist, but he was reluctant to wear them even when going into the water.
"Your name is Dangsheng, right? Then do you know me? Why did you give me the crab? One crab is enough for you to have a meal."
The tips of Dangsheng's ears were a little red, and he was too embarrassed to look up.
Jiang Mengxue found this a little funny. How old is this little guy? He looks only about six or seven years old, not much older than her own calligraphy.
But this child has to go out to work and support himself at such a young age, and has already experienced the ups and downs of life.
Would a child of this age be scared to sleep alone in the room at night?
Yes, what child doesn’t want to rely on his or her parents and have someone to talk to when he or she is scared.
But he has been living on his own since his grandfather passed away. Will he be sad and hide away crying?
Jiang Mengxue couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted.
"Come on, let's go to the shore and talk to Auntie, okay? A child like you who is so young must stay within the sight of adults when going to the beach, and never run to remote places."
Everyone is now bending down and looking at their feet, and no one is paying attention to what is happening around them or in the distance.
It would be bad if Dang Sheng ran too far to find something, as their current position was already a bit off to the side.
Jiang Mengxue took Dang Sheng's wrist, and the two of them walked to a big rock on the shore and sat down.
She was wearing water boots at first, but as the water got deeper and deeper, she couldn't wear them anymore and water easily seeped into her shoes.
I had no choice but to take off my shoes. I didn't notice it when I was in the water, but now that I reached the shore, I found that there were two scratches on the side of my feet caused by shells.
Fortunately, climbing on the high bridge didn't hurt much, so she didn't care.
“Auntie doesn’t want your things for nothing. There’s still half a pack of biscuits in my bag. Can I give it back to you?
I don't know how long you will keep picking up seafood here, but if you find anything today and want to exchange it, you can bring it to me. I have other things.
I'm a Navy doctor, based at the Navy base not far from here, so don't worry I'm a liar."
As he said this, he took out half a pack of biscuits from his bag that he had stuffed into his bag to fill his stomach when he came here.
It has a strong milky flavor. Not to mention eating it dry, it is also delicious even if you soak it in water.
Dangsheng looked at the cookies in front of him. He had never seen them before.
But he could faintly smell the fragrance inside, which made him swallow.
"I, I don't want it. It's for you."
Although it smelled delicious and he really wanted to eat it, he controlled himself and refused.
“Here, if you don’t want it, then I can’t have your crab either.
Our exchange is fair. If you can find something else later, you can exchange it with me for something else."
Jiang Mengxue felt that she had a good impression of him and wanted to take better care of him.
She and Gu Qingbei have been supporting the orphans of their comrades who have lost their parents for many years, and they also make regular donations to orphanages.
It doesn't matter if she has one more child. When he goes back and gets to know more about the real situation of Dangsheng's family, she can consider sponsoring Dangsheng until he reaches adulthood.
If he has a talent for studying, we can also provide him with financial support for his studies. It is not a problem.
The premise is that the child is worthy of her doing so. First of all, the child is still young, and his nature is kind and optimistic. As long as he does not grow up in the later stage, he will be fine.
Dang Sheng learned that Jiang Mengxue wanted something else, so he put down his things and wanted to go to the beach again.
Jiang Mengxue was worried that she wouldn't be able to find him soon.
"Wait, when the main force leaves, you hurry back. We'll meet here after it's over. I won't leave until you leave, understand?"
"good."
He agreed readily and rushed into the sea without looking back.
Jiang Mengxue herself was not interested in picking it up.
She couldn't tell where the thing was at all, and before she could move, someone next to her had already dug it out.
She should just wait quietly on the shore.
I looked around again, but couldn't find Ji Xuewei. I didn't know where she had gone.
She was afraid that she would run into deep water, because she had heard Ji Xuewei say that she couldn't swim.
Seeing that Tan Hongmian was with two other comrades, but Ji Xuewei was missing, he hurried forward to ask about the situation.
"Sister Tan, what's going on? Why can't I see Ji Xuewei?
I looked around but couldn't find her. Could she have gone to the deep water?"
Jiang Mengxue was really anxious.
Everyone around was so busy looking for seafood that no one paid attention to the people around them.
