Bai Yu ate dinner at Wang Hai's house.
As for his parents, they went home after they finished eating.
Bai's mother is a teacher, and she usually eats in the cafeteria at work. Bai's father, needless to say, is the head chef of a hotel, so taking care of his own dinner is a piece of cake for him.
Bai Yue attends school and usually lives on campus, so she eats in the school cafeteria.
In summary, Bai Yu was the only one in his family who didn't know how to get food, but he didn't want to cook at home, so going to Wang Hai's house for a meal was the best option.
When Bai's mother returned home, Bai Yu had already finished dinner and was playing games with Wang Hai in her room.
After hearing the commotion, Bai Yu finished his game, told Wang Hai, and logged off. He then went downstairs and gave the money he earned from selling lobsters that day to his mother.
"Mom, this is 1,200 yuan. Today, my uncle took me and Ah Hai to the island. He caught a lobster and a crab there. He gave them to me at the dock later. This is the money from selling them."
"How about we use this money to buy something for Grandpa, like some wine? He drank half a bottle at noon today, and I even had a glass with him. One glass was enough to knock me out."
Bai Yu went to her mother's side and told her about what had happened that day.
"You drank today? You, a kid, are drinking with your grandpa? Three of you couldn't outdrink one old man like him."
As for buying him alcohol, let's forget about it. He's getting old, and drinking too much isn't good for him. I'll go over sometime and see if he needs anything, and then I'll buy him whatever he needs. If all else fails, I can just give him the money."
She didn't say much about what Bai Yu said or the more than 1,000 yuan in cash he gave her.
Bai's mother was very worry-free with her son. From childhood to adulthood, apart from his studies, she didn't have to worry about anything else.
After no longer worrying about Bai Yu's studies, Bai's mother had an even easier time, as she could focus her attention on Bai Yue's studies.
After giving the money to Bai's mother, Bai Yu had accomplished one task. He no longer needed to worry about the rest; Bai's mother would take care of it.
When Bai's father got home, it was already past ten o'clock. For the next ten days, he would come home around the same time every day.
When Bai's father came home, Bai Yu had already washed up and gone to bed.
Nothing happened that night. At eight o'clock the next morning, Bai Yu finally got out of bed. No one had disturbed his sleep that day.
When Bai Yu went downstairs today, his dad was still there; he even had breakfast at home.
In the morning, he and Wang Hai went for a run on the beach for more than half an hour as usual, and then had lunch at Wang Hai's house.
After lunch, without even taking a nap, they immediately grabbed their beachcombing gear and rode their electric bikes to their uncle's house after washing the dishes.
"Big brother, big brother went to the beach. We're all ready. Have you packed your things yet?"
As soon as Bai Yu arrived at her uncle's house, she shouted at the top of her lungs and then pushed open the door and went inside.
At this moment, his cousin Liu Tianyu was washing dishes in the yard. These families had one thing in common: the children had no problem eating without cooking, but they had to wash the dishes after eating.
Cousin Liu Tianyu is four years older than Bai Yu and currently works as a crew member on the same ship as his uncle.
"You two are here quite early. Have you had lunch yet?"
"After you finish eating, is that plastic bucket over there the one you're going to take with you when you go beachcombing? I'll take it out for you first, and we'll wait for you at the door."
After seeing Liu Tianyu nod, Bai Yu took the bucket out and placed it with their other belongings.
Five minutes later, Liu Tianyu also rode out his family's electric tricycle, and the three of them headed towards the dock together.
The dock in the small fishing village is still in the same place, with the same small boats, but the people are different now; my uncle has been replaced by my cousin.
"Xiaoyu, is that place really as good as my dad said? You can even find flower lobsters there?"
“That’s right. My brother and I went there yesterday with my uncle. He even caught a moray eel on that island. It was four pounds and sold for over a thousand yuan. I gave the money to my mom so she can buy something for my grandpa.”
"Really? That's great! I'm not asking for much. I'd be happy if I could catch a Flower Dragon today. As for the rest, anything is fine."
From the conversation between Bai Yu and Liu Tianyu, it is not difficult to see that his uncle had already told him about the situation of that island.
However, perhaps his uncle's words were a bit exaggerated, and Liu Tianyu didn't believe them at first, so he asked Bai Yu again.
After receiving Bai Yu's affirmation, Liu Tianyu became very enthusiastic, not for anything else, but to strive for the several hundred yuan per kilogram of Dihualong.
As the ship's engine was started, Bai Yu took control of the vessel's direction, heading towards the nearby reef.
A dozen minutes later, a small patch of reefs appeared on the sea surface. These reefs were much, much smaller than those from yesterday.
After all, it's only one o'clock now, and the afternoon tide has just begun, so there certainly aren't many reefs exposed on the surface of the sea right now.
"Brother Yu, where's that rock we used to pick basil from yesterday? I can't see it anymore."
Upon arriving at this sea area, the first thing Wang Hai noticed was that the reef with the bergamot shells was gone...
"Ah Hai, don't worry. The tide has only just begun to recede. That reef is still underwater and hasn't been exposed yet. Just wait a little longer, and you'll be able to see it when the tide goes out a bit more."
Cousin, Ah Hai, let's get our things ready. I need to find a place to get ashore.
The water level is different now than yesterday, so the location for landing on the islands and reefs cannot be the same.
After circling the reef for a while, Bai Yu chose to go ashore in the northwest direction. The three of them were dressed the same, wearing life jackets on their upper bodies, shorts on their lower bodies, and sandals on their lower bodies.
He was carrying a bucket containing crab tongs, a net, cable ties, and other tools.
"Oh my god, wait a minute, Xiaoyu, I think I stepped on something. Let me fish it out and see what it is."
Just as they stepped onto the reef, Liu Tianyu took a step and stumbled, almost falling into the water.
As he groped around in the water, his cousin quickly pulled a conch shell out. The conch shell was quite large, about fifteen centimeters long. The only pity was that his cousin had crushed its shell.
Well, this conch shell wasn't very lucky. When it was growing, it met its cousin, who then stepped on it, causing its shell to crack a bit.
The conch was indeed unlucky, but my cousin was lucky; at least he stepped on a soft-shelled conch. If it had been a hard-shelled one, my cousin might have stumbled and fallen.
Normally, the conches we see all have hard shells; there's no such thing as a soft shell, because conches don't molt.
When they grow, they only dissolve the parts of the shell that are hindering their growth, and then continue to grow on the original old shell.
The conch that Liu Tianyu stepped on was in the middle of its growth phase, and then he stomped on it and cracked its shell.
"What a pity, such a big conch shell was crushed, otherwise it could have sold for a lot of money."
Looking at the conch shell in his hand, Liu Tianyu said with a hint of regret.
"What's there to regret? Cousin, look what I have in my hand. They're baby snails, and I picked up two of them. Aren't these two baby snails much better than your conch?"
"Wow, the resources here are really plentiful. We can find so much stuff right away? I can't take it anymore, I need to get to work too. Xiaoyu, let's talk later."
Just as Liu Tianyu was preparing to act alone, Wang Hai's shout rang out from the side.
"Brother Yu, Brother Tianyu, come quick! I've found fish here, and they're big fish, lots and lots of big fish!!!"
