Chapter 28 These are all good stuff!
Song Shi curled his lips slightly and smiled.
"You will know when we come back to the beach in the afternoon!"
Fortunately, the two children were obedient. After all, they ate the egg pancakes she made in the morning. As the saying goes, one should be grateful when one receives something from someone else.
They had no choice but to be obedient and each of them filled a bucket of sea water and went home.
There is also an old earthen pot in this house that has never been used because it requires firewood.
Zhou Tingyue was afraid that she would not be used to it, so he used coal coupons to buy a lot of coal.
But Song Shiwei thought it would cost too much coal to process the sea water, and she was reluctant to do so.
He waved and called Zhou Cheng, Zhou Lin and others over.
"Is there anywhere around here to get firewood?"
Zhou Cheng glanced at the earthen pot in the kitchen and asked, "Do you want to cook in the earthen pot?"
Song Shi smiled and nodded.
"If you want to catch something good this afternoon, you have to make something first. With this thing, I guarantee that we can catch a lot of delicious food this afternoon!"
When Zhou Wei heard this, he jumped up with joy.
"I know, I know where to get firewood! Go left after leaving the sentry post, there is a large forest over there! There are also reed marshes nearby! My brother took us there to touch sea duck eggs before!"
When Song Shiwei heard that there were sea duck eggs, his eyes immediately lit up.
“And sea duck eggs???”
Before Zhou Wei nodded, Zhou Xinxin said, "Yes, yes, brother found four or five that time! He roasted them all for us! They were delicious!"
Seeing Song Shiwei looking at him, Zhou Cheng scratched the back of his head uncomfortably.
"Yes, there are indeed sea duck eggs! Linzi and I have seen sea ducks! There are quite a few over there!"
Song Shiwei was excited.
"Can you and Zhou Lin take me there? Let's get some firewood and see if we can find some sea duck eggs. I'll pickle them for you! These duck eggs are the most delicious when they're pickled into salted duck eggs! When you take a bite, your mouth is full of oil!"
After being described by Song Shiwei, the four little guys swallowed their saliva.
Zhou Lin had long forgotten his prejudice against Song Shiwei a few days ago. His mind was now filled with the greasy salted duck eggs that Song Shiwei had just talked about.
"I'll take you there!"
Zhou Cheng glanced at him and sighed in his heart, but in order for his younger brothers and sisters to have delicious food, he was ready to give in.
"Okay, I'll take you there!"
Song Shiwei couldn't help but laugh when he saw the awkward look on the boy's face.
It seems that these little guys are not that difficult to get along with!
They are still children, not hopeless!
She was afraid that there might be poisonous insects in the woods over there, so she didn't let Zhou Wei and Zhou Xinxin follow them.
Zhou Wei was a little dissatisfied when he heard that she didn't let the two of them go.
"I want to go too!"
Song Shiwei patted his shoulder.
"It's not that I don't want you to go, I just have a more important task for you! You stay home and take good care of your sister! I'll take you to get some good food this afternoon! We'll all go together then!"
After hearing what she said, Zhou Wei had no choice but to nod and agree even though he wanted to go.
After all, going out to play with someone is not as important as having a sister!
Sun Meimei, who lived next door, happened to see her taking her two older children out and was a little curious.
"Big sister, what are you doing?"
Song Shi smiled and explained: "I want to get some firewood!"
Sun Meimei didn't expect this.
"Can you cook on the stove?"
Song Shiwei looked at her surprised expression and couldn't help laughing.
"Of course I will. I'm not the kind of young lady who has never been involved in women's activities!"
Sun Meimei also laughed, thinking that she had underestimated her.
From the first moment they saw her, they were wondering whether this delicate and pretty girl could endure the hardship here and whether she would be unable to bear it and go back early.
Unexpectedly, he is someone who can endure hardships.
Song Shiwei followed Zhou Cheng and Zhou Lin through the sentry post and walked along the path to the left.
The road here is indeed quite barren. I don’t know if the land here is not suitable for planting. In addition to weeds, a lot of salt alkali has precipitated on the exposed surface.
It seems that the land near the sea is too salty and many plants cannot grow.
Song Shiwei couldn't help but frown as she watched. She happened to see a middle-aged woman squatting on the ground digging something, so she went over to take a look.
I saw that she was digging a kind of wild vegetable that looked familiar.
"Big sister, I want to ask if the one you dug is the yellow beard vegetable?"
When the older sister heard the sound, she looked up and was almost dazzled.
The little girl in front of me is too white, and it is obvious that she is not from their local area.
And the accent doesn't sound like it's from here.
But she obviously knew Zhou Cheng and Zhou Lin behind her.
"Chengzi? Linzi?"
Zhou Cheng and Zhou Lin shouted, "Second Aunt!"
The person they called second aunt was from the nearby Zhoujiazhuang, and was also related to Zhou Cheng and his parents.
Song Shiwei was a little surprised when she heard Zhou Cheng and Zhou Lin calling her second aunt.
Li Guifen was even more surprised to see her than she was.
"Are you the girl that Captain Zhou just married?"
Song Shiwei nodded.
Li Guifen looked her up and down. This girl looked very young, much younger and prettier than the one Captain Zhou had married before.
Especially that white and glowing skin, I wonder if she is someone who can endure hardship.
I was about to sigh in my heart, thinking that Captain Zhou and these kids had such a miserable life.
Then Song Shiwei asked, "Sister-in-law, are there a lot of yellow beard vegetables in this area?"
She didn't expect that she could recognize the wild vegetable as yellow beard vegetable at a glance.
He raised his hand and pointed at the wasteland behind him.
"There are a lot of wild vegetables here. We country folks will dig some up when we have nothing to do and eat them as vegetables!"
"As you can see, living conditions here are tough. A lot of land is not suitable for growing food, not even vegetables! Poor families who can't afford to eat can only dig these wild vegetables to eat!"
After hearing this, Song Shiwei couldn't help but frown.
Logically speaking, this place is surrounded by the sea, so it shouldn’t be so poor that we can’t have food to eat!
"Can't the big guys go fishing?"
Li Guifen seemed to have heard a joke and couldn't help laughing: "Little girl, I can tell you're from another place. You need a fishing boat to go fishing. Although wooden boats can be used, they will be corroded by seawater after a while. Building a boat is not a small project. Only steel boats can be used for a long time and travel farther!!"
"But we don't have the money to buy such a big boat. Besides, where can we take all the fish we catch? We can't sell them. We can only eat them ourselves. We can't finish them. It's a waste of money. Who wants to do such a strenuous job?"
Song Shiwei roughly understood what was going on. After all, it was related to the current situation. Individuals could not buy and sell.
Li Guifen also dug up a lot. This was the lunch for her family. She left with the basket.
Song Shiwei also squatted down and started digging wild vegetables.
Zhou Cheng was a little confused.
"You, what are you digging these for?"
Song Shiwei smiled with her eyes curved.
"You don't understand this, right? These are all good things!"
