My third uncle's son is named Bai Hao. He is only sixteen years old and just started high school.
While waiting for this guy, Bai Yu and Wang Hai didn't sit idle either; they also called their relatives.
Bai Yu called his dad. His parents should be home cooking at this time. Although his dad usually does the cooking, he can rest today because he has money to earn.
Let his mother cook at home, then Bai Yu asked his father to bring his sister, and then bring two plastic buckets to the beach.
He then called his second uncle, second aunt, third maternal uncle, second paternal aunt, and a series of other relatives.
Unlike Wang Hai, Bai Yu's family had good relationships with relatives on both sides of their parents' side. They treated Bai Yu and her brother well, and they never stopped receiving red envelopes during holidays. Although the money never actually reached them, these elders were genuinely kind to them.
Now that something good has happened, Bai Yu naturally won't forget them, and she made one call after another.
The same applies to Wang Hai's side. Although his family and his uncle didn't get along well, they still had other relatives.
A dozen minutes later, more than a dozen relatives carrying plastic buckets appeared in front of Bai Yu. These people ranged from children to teenagers to middle-aged people in their fifties and sixties.
When Bai Yu and Wang Hai made these calls, their relatives mostly sent Xiao Hai out if they had children at home, and if they didn't have Xiao Hai, their own husbands came over in person.
Strictly speaking, apart from Bai Yu's own family, the other relatives didn't care about what Bai Yu and his family said about the eels catching people on the beach.
After all, they had never encountered a situation where they made a fortune by catching eels while beachcombing. However, they still accepted the invitation from the two children and had someone from their family who had nothing to do bring the food over.
Once everyone had arrived, Bai Yu and Wang Hai led them toward the rocky beach.
Along the way, some villagers who were still gathering seafood on the beach saw this group of people, and those who knew them naturally asked them what they were going to do.
Bai Yu explained the situation to all the villagers who had a good relationship with the Bai Yu and Wang Hai families.
Then, when they reached the rocky beach, the crowd had grown to more than thirty people.
"Hey uncles and aunts, the moray eel I mentioned earlier was caught here. If you want to catch some, just look around here. Let's split up and search."
Now that she had brought these people to their destination, Bai Yu decided not to bother with them anymore and instead led her own relatives to the side.
The villagers who came with Bai Yu didn't say anything about what Bai Yu did. After all, it was already difficult enough for Bai Yu to tell them this information, and they had no reason to ask Bai Yu to help them find eels.
"Dad, Uncle, let me tell you, there are so many eels here. Each of us can easily collect a bucket or two before the tide comes in."
Ah Hai, take your uncle and aunt to the place where you found the eels and go catch some. Don't forget to ask your uncle and aunt to catch a bucketful for you too.
Bai Yu and Wang Hai also searched for the eels separately, since they had a very good relationship and were inseparable.
However, this does not mean that their relatives can do the same. Rather than having disagreements over some eels later, it would be better to separate and catch eels now.
"Don't worry, Xiaoyu. Even if none of us want the eels, we still need to fill Xiaohai's bucket first."
Bai Yu's words were understood by Wang Hai's uncle: while making money, don't forget about Wang Hai.
Wang Hai's relatives were very happy that Bai Yu was a friend who cared about him.
Afterwards, their group of more than ten people split into two groups: Wang Hai led his relatives, while Bai Yu led his relatives.
There are a lot of moray eels on this rocky beach. Basically, every few steps Bai Yu and his companions take, they can find moray eels in the rocky pits next to them.
"Wow, Xiaoyu, is it really true that there are so many eels here? What's going on?"
"Second Uncle, when have I ever lied to anyone since I was a child? If there weren't so many eels here, I wouldn't have called you. It's so much better for me to earn money on my own."
At this moment, Bai Yu was holding a crab-catching tong in one hand, while his younger sister Bai Yue was carrying a plastic bucket in the other, following behind him. His sister was only fifteen years old and was currently in the third year of junior high school, and would be taking the high school entrance examination this year.
"Yeah, you're really capable of doing something like this. But since you've called us over here, we definitely won't let you suffer any losses. No matter how much money I make in the end, I'll give you one-tenth of it, okay?"
"Okay, thank you, Uncle."
While Bai Yu was chatting with his second uncle, he didn't stop what he was doing; instead, he started catching the eels in the rocky pit.
There were four moray eels in the rocky pit in front of Bai Yu. With his skillful handling, he picked up the four moray eels with crab tongs and put them into the plastic bucket in no time.
Bai Yu is now very skilled at using crab tongs, and he can catch a moray eel in less than a minute. Logically speaking, his speed is fast enough, but one of the people he brought is even faster.
This person is Bai Yu's second uncle. Unlike Bai Yu, who uses crab claws to catch eels, he uses his hands to catch them. His main strength is speed and accuracy. He can catch an eel in just a few seconds.
You ask why my second uncle dared to grab the eel with his bare hands?
Of course, it's because he's not afraid of being bitten by eels. My second uncle wears a glove made of steel wire. You read that right, a glove made of steel wire.
As for why my second uncle had these gloves, it was related to his job. He ran a repair shop at the dock, and he could repair not only household appliances, but also cars, electric vehicles, and even some fishing boats.
Especially when repairing the hull, my second uncle often had to deal with cutting machines, and these wire gloves were specifically used to protect his hands.
When Bai Yu asked him to catch eels, he happened to have this glove with him, and he never expected it to come in handy now.
In just a few minutes, Second Uncle had already scavenged several rocky pits and caught seven or eight eels, leaving everyone else dumbfounded.
"Second Uncle, these gloves are great! Are they really that good for catching eels? Do you have any extra gloves? Could I borrow a pair?"
To be honest, after seeing how efficiently his second uncle caught the eels, Bai Yu said he was envious. If he had a pair of gloves like that, his harvest this afternoon would probably double.
"These gloves aren't anything special. If you want them, you can get them from me later. Hey, my bucket is full. Little Yue'er, give me your bucket, and I'll get you a bucketful too."
"Yueyue, your second uncle is calling you. Quickly take a bucket to him. All the money you make from selling that bucket of eels today is yours. I'll talk to Mom when I get home tonight."
"Really? Thank you, brother. Thank you, second uncle. You've worked so hard, second uncle."
Bai Yue, who wasn't particularly interested in beachcombing and catching eels, immediately perked up after hearing what her brother said and hurriedly brought a bucket to her second uncle.
It's not that Bai Yue likes money; it's just that she and her brother don't usually have much pocket money. Bai Yu is a little better off; he goes beachcombing to earn his own pocket money when he has free time.
She would occasionally participate in competitions and win some prize money, so Bai Yu had always been self-sufficient and had never had to worry about anything since she was a child.
But Bai Yue is different. She is a girl and doesn't have Bai Yu's wild heart. She has never had much pocket money since she was a child, and most of it was given to her by Bai Yu.
So it's perfectly normal for her to be happy when she heard that she would keep all the money from selling the eels.
This beachcombing trip lasted until 7:30 p.m., when the tide started to rise and night fell, and the waves on the beach gradually grew bigger. Bai Yu then decided to stop fishing, pack up his things, and prepare to go home.
During this process, Bai Yu took his sister to the purchasing station to sell sea eels again. They sold two buckets of sea eels, and this time they made more than 5,800 yuan.
When they were packing up to go home, they had another half bucket of eels in their bucket, but they didn't plan to catch any more. Instead, they took the half bucket of eels to the purchasing station.
