Chapter 70 What was that just now?
This is the good thing about the military family compound: you don't have to worry about your children getting lost. This area belongs to the military and there are sentries on duty outside.
The weather was nice today. When they arrived at the beach, the breeze was not loud and the waves were not big. Xiao Cui and Xiao Jun had already arrived.
A man was carrying a bucket and picking up things by the beach.
Seeing them coming, he waved his hands happily: "Sister Weiwei, Zhou Cheng, Zhou Lin!"
Song Shiwei felt relieved when he saw that Xiaojun's complexion looked much better than before.
"Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
Xiaojun smiled and shook his head: "No! I am basically fully recovered now, and even my grandpa and grandma are in better spirits. This is all thanks to your help, Sister Weiwei! If it weren't for you, who knows what would have happened to our family!"
Song Shiwei listened and rubbed his head with a smile.
"That's good! I'm relieved now! Actually, I didn't help much! Those Polygonum multiflorum originally grew in the back hills of your place, I just happened to know them!"
But no matter what she said, Xiao Cui and her brother were still extremely grateful, and even secretly swore in their hearts that she would be their lifelong benefactor!
This friendship can never be repaid.
Xiao Cui put the bucket down and looked around. Seeing that no one was around, she felt relieved and took out several thick stacks of money from her arms, all tightly wrapped in hand silk.
"Sister Weiwei, Doctor Sun came to see me this afternoon. He sold all the Polygonum multiflorum and got the money back! We have a total of 286 kilograms of Polygonum multiflorum, 4 yuan per kilogram, which is 1,144 yuan. He gave me a deposit of 200 yuan before, and this is the remaining 944! Sister Weiwei, please count!"
Song Shiwei was a little dazed when looking at those thick stacks of ten-yuan bills. No wonder he felt something was wrong when he looked at Xiao Cui just now. Her belly was obviously fatter, and it turned out that it was filled with the money!
With so much money, how long will she have to pay?
"Have you ordered yet?"
Xiao Cui nodded with a red face.
Xiaojun laughed and said, "When has my sister ever seen so much money? She counted it several times! This stack is 200 yuan, and the smaller one is 144! I was watching from the side!"
Song Shi smiled: "Then I don't need to order, it must be right!"
She took out two stacks and handed them to her.
"Here, take these!"
Xiao Cui was so scared that she waved her hands quickly: "Sister Weiwei, I don't want it! You have already given me the deposit! I really can't take it anymore. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to recognize this Polygonum multiflorum even if it grew another fifty years, let alone sell it for nothing! What's more, you saved Xiaojun and helped our family so much. I really can't take this money anymore! What kind of person would I be if I did that?"
Xiaojun also said: "Yes, Sister Weiwei, we really can't take this money. If it weren't for you, I might have died a long time ago. You are my savior. We have already taken 200 yuan of this money. We really can't take the rest!"
No matter what Song Shiwei gave them, they refused to take it and kept pushing it back and forth, which attracted many people to look over here.
She was a little anxious. This amount of money was a considerable sum in that era. If it was seen by someone with ulterior motives, she might get into trouble.
"Listen to me, this Polygonum multiflorum is not me. It grows in the mountain behind you. If Xiao Cui hadn't led me to the mountain, we wouldn't have found it, let alone sell it for money! How about this, I'll give you the three hundred and forty-four, and I'll take the lion's share, so I'll keep six hundred. Is that all right?"
Seeing the two children standing there hesitating, she stuffed the two stacks of money into Xiao Cui's arms without saying a word.
"Put it away quickly, don't let anyone see it! The man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing the treasure! Including your two hundred, you must put it away, don't let anyone see it!"
Hearing her say this, Xiao Cui was so scared that she covered herself up, quickly looked up and around, and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that no one saw it.
But she really didn't know how to express her gratitude to Song Shiwei.
He pulled the soldier to his knees with a shout of "Pongtong!"
"Sister Weiwei, Xiaojun and I will never be able to repay your kindness in this lifetime. In the future, as long as you need us, we will go through fire and water for you without hesitation!"
He said "Dong, Dong, Dong!" and kowtowed three times in a row.
Song Shiwei quickly pulled the person up.
Zhou Cheng and Zhou Lin looked at each other, both of them had deep eyes, obviously deeply touched.
He stepped forward and helped Song Shiwei lift the brother and sister up.
"Sister Xiao Cui, please get up quickly and stop making things difficult for my mother! You should know that she does these things without asking for anything in return!"
Xiao Cui looked at Song Shiwei with red eyes: "I know that Sister Weiwei is a good person, and good people will be rewarded! From now on, you will be Xiaojun and I's relative! The closest person!"
Hearing her words, Song Shi smiled.
"Good children, I have received your kindness! You also said that we will be family in the future. I don't ask for anything, but I hope that you, Zhou Cheng, Zhou Lin, Zhou Wei and Xin Xin can grow up healthy and peacefully. No matter what you want to do in the future, you can learn and become a useful person to society and the country!"
As she spoke, she looked at Zhou Cheng and Zhou Lin meaningfully. Seeing the two children nod firmly, she felt relieved of her worries.
At this time, the sea water has begun to recede slowly.
More and more people are coming to the seaside.
Song Shiwei and the others did not delay any longer and started rushing to the sea with buckets in hand.
This time the tide went out, leaving quite a few dragontail fish on the beach. The fish soup made from this fish is particularly delicious.
The picture comes from the Internet
Zhou Cheng and Zhou Lin put on gloves and had a lot of fun catching the fish.
Song Shiwei kept rummaging through the rocks, trying to see if he could find some more sea cucumbers and abalone.
However, she didn't find any sea cucumbers or abalone, only a few octopuses and scallops.
Just when she was feeling a little disappointed, her brows suddenly frowned, and she saw that the water in the puddle in front of her was very muddy.
According to her experience, if no one has been fishing in such a small puddle, there should be something big.
Thinking of this, she walked over with the bucket. Because the water was very murky, she couldn't see clearly what was inside.
She could only stretch her hand and feel around inside, and suddenly she felt something smooth and soft. The thing in her hand swung its tail violently, splashing water all over her face.
Hearing the noise, Zhou Cheng and Zhou Lin ran over quickly.
"What's going on? Are you okay, mom?"
Xiao Cui and Xiao Jun also followed.
"What was that just now? A fish? How can it be so strong?"
There was a hint of surprise in Song Shiwei's eyes. It should be a fish, and a very big one!
If it was a bigger fish, it should be able to sell for some money!
"Zhou Cheng and Zhou Lin, you stand over there. Xiao Cui and Xiao Jun, stand over here. Let's surround and suppress it together. I don't believe we can't catch it!"
Zhou Cheng was immediately excited: "Okay!"
Zhou Lin and the others rolled up their sleeves and prepared to go fishing.
Song Shiwei also put the bucket and the things in his hands on the stone beside him, and even took off his gloves.
It is easier to catch it directly with your hands.
No matter what I say today, I must catch it.
Several people slowly moved in.
The fish must have heard the noise and suddenly jumped up in the water.
Seeing it running towards Zhou Cheng, Zhou Cheng suddenly reached out, grabbed its tail and lifted it up.
What he saw instead was a ferocious big mouth biting towards him. He was so frightened that he threw himself away, took a few steps back, and sat down on the stone behind him.
Zhou Lin, who was closest to him, was almost dumbfounded.
"Just now...what was that?"
