Chapter 27: Fetching Two Buckets of Seawater Back Home

He was not used to calling her mom, but it would feel too awkward to call her aunt.

The most important thing is that he doesn't want his brothers to think he is a "traitor!"

Although, even so, Zhou Cheng glared at him fiercely, but compared with the fragrant egg pancakes in front of him, these were nothing!

At this time Zhou Xinxin also got up.

She ran over with fluffy curly hair, stood to Song Shiwei's feet, and tiptoed to look into the pot.

The little mouth kept smacking.

Song Shiwei wanted to laugh when he saw this, and couldn't help but took a small piece of the egg pancake he had prepared earlier and stuffed it into Zhou Xinxin's mouth.

This action really annoyed Zhou Lin and Zhou Wei who were standing by.

Staring at Song Shiwei eagerly.

Hoping she could tear off a piece for them, too.

But at this moment, Song Shiwei only had eyes for the little girl in front of him. Her mouth was bulging from eating, like a little hamster chewing food, so cute.

So I smiled and asked her, "Is it delicious?"

Zhou Xinxin squinted her eyes while eating. She swallowed the food in her mouth, then smiled and nodded: "Delicious!"

Zhou Wei couldn't help but swallowing his saliva "Gudong! Gudong!"

"I, I want to eat too!"

Song Shiwei put the last egg pancake in the pot, turned around and said unhappily: "If you want to eat, why don't you go wash up!"

She wants to start by helping them develop good habits!

Some of the kids actually went to brush their teeth and wash their faces obediently.

Song Shiwei placed the egg pancakes and cornmeal paste on the table.

Several children also came back after washing up.

Looking at the five pairs of chopsticks and five bowls of porridge on the table, several people sat down obediently to eat.

Zhou Cheng was a little angry at first and didn't want to eat the food cooked by this bad woman, but he couldn't resist the temptation of the aroma and his stomach kept rumbling.

Thinking of what the woman said, that the food was a reward for going fishing with her later, it would be a waste if he didn't eat it, he picked up the chopsticks and started eating with big mouthfuls.

You know what, this cake is so delicious that all the kids are eating it with their mouths drooling.

Song Shiwei took advantage of Xinxin's meal time to comb her hair with a comb.

Zhou Tingyue usually leaves early, especially when he is busy with training, and has no time to take care of her. The little girl’s braids are basically tied by her brothers.

Song Shiwei touched her soft and delicate hair, feeling itchy in his heart.

I couldn't help but recall my childhood love of braiding dolls.

Later, several of her close friends had children, and every time she saw them, she would tie their children's hair.

Every time my best friend complains, "We have a son, but you braid his hair into two small braids! As a result, my son is mistaken for a girl whenever he goes out!"

Now that she has a little girl, she has to braid her hair properly.

Fortunately, my previous skills were still fresh, and I quickly completed a braided hairstyle.

This caused Zhou Cheng and Zhou Lin to look at him a few more times.

The hair she tied for Xinxin seemed...really pretty.

Zhou Xinxin was so happy that she kept looking at herself in the mirror after dinner, smiling as she looked.

It seemed like this was the first time I realized how beautiful I was.

Song Shiwei was the last one to finish eating. After she finished, she directed the children to clean up the table.

She locked the door, picked up two buckets of water, led a few children, and set off towards the beach!

The distance from the military district family compound to the seashore is not particularly far, only about a thousand meters, and one needs to pass through the military sentry posts in the middle.

Qilian Island is located to the east of the mainland and is surrounded by the sea. This time, Song Shiwei wanted to see what is abundant on the seashore here. If she could meet fishermen nearby, she could also ask questions related to Qilian Island.

For example, when the tide is low, what is best to catch recently.

When she arrived with the children, Song Shiwei was disappointed because there was almost no one on the beach at that time.

Only then did she realize that it was 1989, not 2023!

The country's marine fisheries are not that developed, not to mention a decade of controlled economy.

Individuals are not allowed to buy or sell, let alone companies in various fishing industries.

I guess apart from the locals who catch some fish and shrimp to eat, not many people would go to the seashore to fish regularly.

At this point, it's not low tide, and there is no one on the beach.

But Song Shiwei was looking at the horizon where the sea and the sky met in the distance, feeling the salty and humid sea breeze, and listening to the calls of seagulls above his head.

She felt indescribably happy in her heart.

Walking a little further, small waves splashed against her feet. Walking on the soft sand, she almost wanted to take off her shoes and run on it.

Zhou Cheng naturally noticed her satisfied expression and couldn't help being slightly surprised.

In the past, that bad woman always complained about this and that.

He also said that Qilian Island was a poor place, wet and humid, full of water, and disgusting.

But the woman in front of him didn't show any disgust at all. Instead, she looked excited, happy, and excited!

My feeling towards her changed a little bit.

Zhou Xinxin and Zhou Wei were also very happy. They seldom go to the beach.

Because my father and brother won’t let me.

They said the seaside was dangerous and it would be troublesome if one fell into the sea accidentally.

Zhou Xinxin was happily picking up shells on the beach, while Zhou Wei was using a small shovel to dig holes in the sand and build sand castles.

Song Shiwei carefully observed the nearby terrain and found that this beach should be a good place to dig razor clams. She also found stone crabs under the small reef in front.

This stone crab is a small crab that never grows up. If it is made into salt and pepper stone crab, it will definitely be a delicacy.

Unfortunately, the best way to catch this kind of stone crab is to use meat, chicken skin or chicken legs, but in this place it is much more difficult to get a piece of meat than a stone crab.

Zhou Cheng and Zhou Lin noticed that she kept moving back and forth along the beach, looking at this and that!

I don’t know what she is busy with. They usually come here to play with their friends and occasionally pick up some small fish and shrimps.

Each time he picked up little, and Zhou Tingyue didn’t know how to cook, so he just boiled it in water and gave it to them to eat.

However, the fishermen here almost all take the fish home to eat in the same way.

In this era of salt and oil shortage, these seafoods still have a salty taste, which does save us from various seasonings.

Song Shiwei looked around and roughly figured out some of the tricks. In this area and at this season, seafood such as shrimps, crabs, and clams are at their fattest.

Thinking of the salt and pepper mantis shrimp, Song Shiwei started drooling. It has been a long time since he last had it.

Just then a nearby fisherman passed by, and she quickly asked him about the time of low tide.

The low tide here starts at around 4:00 p.m. If she wants to catch the sea, she has to come before the tide goes out.

Thinking of this, Song Shiwei felt relieved.

He waved at Zhou Cheng and Zhou Lin behind him.

"Get two buckets of sea water and go home!"

Zhou Cheng and Zhou Lin were stunned.

"What do you need sea water for?"
