Chapter 70: What was that just now?
The good thing about the military district’s family compound is that you don’t have to worry about your children running away. This area belongs to the military, and there are sentries standing guard 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 also arrived.
A man was carrying a bucket and picking up things on the beach.
Seeing them coming, he waved his hands happily: "Sister Weiwei, Zhou Cheng, Zhou Lin!"
Song Shiwei felt relieved when she saw that Xiaojun's complexion looked much better than before.
"Are you still feeling uncomfortable now?"
Xiaojun quickly smiled and shook his head: "No! I am basically fully recovered now, and even my grandpa and grandma are in better spirits, all thanks to your help, Sister Weiwei! Without you, who knows what would have happened to our family!"
Song Shiwei listened, smiled and rubbed his head.
"That's good! I'm relieved! In fact, I didn't help much! Those Polygonum multiflorum were originally growing in your back mountain, 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 there was no one around, she felt relieved and took out several thick stacks of money from her bosom and wrapped them all tightly in a handkerchief.
"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 it!"
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 does she have to wait to order it?
"Have you ordered yet?"
Xiao Cui blushed and nodded.
Xiaojun laughed and said, "My sister has never seen so much money before. 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 for 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, it might cause trouble.
"Listen to me, this Polygonum multiflorum is not mine. It grows in your back mountain. If Xiao Cui hadn't led me to the back 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 a treasure! Including your two hundred, you must also 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 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 Xiaojun to his knees with a "thump".
"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 man 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 embarrassing 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 dearest one!"
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 safe. 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 nodded with firm eyes, she felt relieved of a lot of worries in her heart.
At this time, the sea water has begun to recede slowly.
More and more people are coming to the beach.
Song Shiwei and the others did not delay any longer and started fishing with buckets in hand.
This time the tide receded, a lot of dragontail fish were left on the beach. This kind of fish is particularly delicious when stewed into fish soup.
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 discouraged, her brows suddenly frowned as she saw that the water in a puddle in front of her was very muddy.
According to her experience, if there is no one trying to catch something in a small puddle like this, there must be something big.
Thinking of this, she walked over with the bucket, but because the water was so murky, she couldn't see clearly what was in it.
She could only reach out her hand and feel around inside, and suddenly she felt something slippery 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 hurried over.
"What's going on? Are you okay, mom?"
Xiao Cui and Xiao Jun also followed.
"What was that just now? A fish? How could it be so strong?"
There was some surprise in Song Shiwei's eyes. It should be a fish, and a very big one at that!
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, you stand over here. Let's surround 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 into the water to catch fish.
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 groped their way inside.
The fish must have heard the noise and suddenly flapped its wings in the water.
Seeing it running towards Zhou Cheng, Zhou Cheng suddenly reached out, grabbed its tail and lifted it up.
As a result, he saw a ferocious big mouth biting towards him. He was so scared that he threw it 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?"
