Seeing that he was still looking at her, Lin Yuxin knew that it was useless to glare at him, so she turned to look at Aunt Mu and said awkwardly, "I'm so tired, but I'm so tired, so ...

"Auntie Mu, we passed by here this time and heard Xiaochen say that you saved him in the past and treated him very well, so we wanted to come and see you. Besides, I have never seen the sea since I was a child, and I also want to come and play for a while, so we came to bother you."

"Oh, Yuxin, you don't have to be so formal. I and your Uncle Mu have only one son. He died at sea a long time ago. For so many years, it's just you and I who have been relying on each other. We are so happy that you can come back to see us. How can this be considered a disturbance?"

As Aunt Mu spoke, she took Lin Yuxin's hand and spoke affectionately.

They couldn't bear to save Xiaochen at first, and they treated Xiaochen as their own child during that time.

Xiaochen still remembers them, and when he comes back to see them, they are already very happy.

"Aunt Mu, where's Uncle Mu? Is he out fishing again?"

Li Xiaochen saw that the two were chatting happily, looked around, and did not see Uncle Mu, so he asked with a smile.

"We're out to sea. Because the fishing net is broken, we can't go far today. We'll probably be back in the evening. Please take a seat. Don't be polite. Just treat this place as your home. Xiaochen is familiar with this place. Xiaoyou, please bring your wife with you! I'll go take care of the kelp at the door and cook you some rice later."

Seeing that it was getting late, Aunt Mu stood up and told Li Xiaochen.

"Okay, Aunt Mu, go ahead and do your work. I understand!"

Li Xiaochen also stood up and spoke naturally, as if he treated this place as his own home and was not at all shy.

Lin Yuxin found it very strange!

Aunt Mu nodded, smiled and went to the yard, sat in the same place as before and started to sort the kelp.

These kelps were brought back by Uncle Mu last night. It was too late last night and they were not processed. If they are not processed today, they will go bad.

She had to sort out the kelp and dry it for storage.

Uncle Mu said that the kelp was given to him by Grandpa Liu from the village when he came back. His family has been cultivating kelp all year round and then selling it, and their business is doing well.

So I often gave some to the people in the village with whom I had a good relationship, but it wasn’t much.

He sent kelp to the village, and the villagers would also send some of the seafood they caught to his family, which was considered a reciprocity.

Lin Yuxin and Xiaohao did nothing but sit in the yard, watching Aunt Mu work, their eyes full of curiosity.

Neither of them had ever seen the sea, nor had they ever seen anything fresh from the sea! Seeing Aunt Mu drying the kelp and then preparing seafood, they were very curious and pulled Xiao Hao to squat aside to watch.

She had seen seafood in her previous life, but she couldn't recognize all of them. She had only seen some commonly eaten ones, such as shrimp, lobster, sea urchin, and mantis shrimp.

There are still many seafoods that they don't recognize! Moreover, there are so many things in the sea. When they were in Beijing, they saw only a few kinds of fish. It is even more impossible for the two of them to recognize the things in the sea.

The two heads stared at Aunt Mu's basket without moving, which made Aunt Mu laugh. She did not stop them and let them continue to watch. While processing the fish and shrimp, she explained to them what these were, how to process them, and how to make them delicious.

There were some sea urchins, conches, octopuses and crabs in the basket, but nothing else, so it was processed quickly.

But when Xiaohao saw the strange-looking creature with eight legs squirming in the basket, he was horrified and took a step back unconsciously, with goosebumps all over his body.

"What...what is that?"

Xiaohao pointed at the things in the basket and asked tremblingly.

"Here! This sea snake is edible!"

Seeing that the child was frightened, Aunt Mu reached out and grabbed the sea snake, then introduced it to him with a smile.

When Xiao Hao saw that Aunt Mu was holding it in her hand, he immediately took a few steps back and was so scared that he didn't dare to get closer.

[This is octopus and sea snake! Although it looks ugly, it is delicious! I want to eat it! ! ]

Lin Yuxin drooled when she saw the octopus as big as her arm and wanted to eat it!

"Auntie Mu, can I eat this for lunch today?"

Lin Yuxin asked as she kept her eyes on the octopus in her hand.

Aunt Mu saw that she really liked eating and didn't seem afraid at all, so she nodded and said:

"I've prepared all of this for you today. This is your first time here, so you must not have seen our specialties. Let me let you taste these seafood today!"

Aunt Mu nodded in agreement and said with a loving smile.

"Really? Did you hear that, Xiaohao? We have something delicious to eat today!"

Lin Yuxin was so happy that she pulled Xiaohao, who was feeling depressed, and shook him vigorously. Ah! We can eat spicy octopus! It would be great if we could grill it!

Lin Yuxin's swallowing movements became more and more obvious!

Xiao Hao was shaken by his sister. He watched Aunt Mu take the sea snake in her hand. The suction cups on the sea snake were still attached to Aunt Mu's hand. She had to pull it out with her hands. When he thought about having to eat it soon, he suddenly felt bad.

Can he not eat? Can he return to Beijing early? He thinks it is safer to return to Beijing!!!

Xiao Hao wanted to cry but he couldn't. However, seeing his sister's happy face, he didn't dare to say anything to spoil her mood. He could only step back a few steps, put on an ugly smile at his sister, and nodded with difficulty.

Li Xiaochen picked up the wood and started chopping wood skillfully. After a while, he had chopped a pile of wood, as if he had done this often before!

He saw that several people were chatting happily, with smiles on their faces, and they seemed to be in a good mood.

At this time, a woman's gentle voice came from outside the door:

"Auntie Mu, are you home? My mother asked me to bring you some crabs!"

"Here I am. It's Shufang! Oh, your mother is so polite. Please thank her for me. It just so happens that your brother Xiaochen is coming back today, and I was just worried about what to cook for him. You really came just in time. I'll send something else to your mother tomorrow."

"Haha, Shufang, sit down for a while. I'll get the basket out for you!"

When Aunt Mu heard Shufang's voice, she immediately went out to open the door with a smile and enthusiastically took the basket from her hand. She and Shufang's mother were friends since childhood, so they often sent food to each other. It was nothing, right?

So Aunt Mu picked up the basket and went to the kitchen!

Shufang was left standing there. She was stunned when she heard Aunt Mu talking about Xiaochen Ge. She looked up at the tall figure who was still chopping wood. It seemed as if she could not see anything around her but him, with his eyes full of affection.

He's back! He's really back!

When this man was injured and recuperating at Aunt Mu's house, she fell in love with him. She had never seen a man so handsome before, and her whole heart was immediately on him.

During that time, she ran to Aunt Mu's house every day, asking about Xiao Chen's health, changing his medicine, and mending his clothes. She thought they could live like this for the rest of their lives, and that he would marry her!

But the news came that he was going back, and before she even asked him why, he left!

For the past five years, she has been waiting for him. Her mother found many families for her, but she refused to get married.

She wanted to ask, Brother Xiaochen, why did you leave without saying goodbye?

Now that she saw the real person, she felt a little homesick!
