A beautiful photo every day
Chen Zhiyao got up at 4 a.m. yesterday and went to the beach twice. She was exhausted.
She slept soundly until the sun peeked in through the window and shone on her face, at which point she slowly opened her eyes.
By then the sun was high in the sky, and the room was brightly lit even without drawing the curtains.
The clear chirping of birds came from the small hill behind the house, which was very pleasant and soothing to listen to.
The house is quiet; everyone's probably busy with their own things.
Chen Zhiyao quickly got up, changed into a casual sportswear outfit, and then casually tied her hair into a high ponytail, looking very youthful and beautiful.
(I can't describe it well, just look at the pictures ( ˉ???ˉ?? )?)
Sugar
Chen Zhiyao came down from the second floor yawning, and sure enough, only Ah Huang was there to watch the house.
Hearing the noise coming from the stairs, the little guy hopped over, wagging his big tail.
"Gurgle gurgle"
I had sandworm porridge last night, and I'm starving now.
Chen Zhiyao ignored Ah Huang, who was wagging its tail at her feet, and quickened her pace to the kitchen.
There was a pot of cooked lean meat porridge, and two pale blue salted duck eggs.
This salted duck egg was made by myself from sea duck eggs I picked up on the beach.
Salted duck eggs can be found everywhere on the beach, and most people in the village know how to make salted duck eggs, but Grandma Chen's are the best.
Chen Zhiyao especially liked the salted egg yolk inside; it was sandy and oily.
After washing the dishes and chopsticks used for breakfast, it was already 9 o'clock.
I went beachcombing for two days in a row after I got back. It was quite lucrative, but also very tiring.
She spent the whole day walking on the beach yesterday and digging for sand worms for half the day. Now her back and legs are aching.
Having already used up her X-ray vision yesterday, Chen Zhiyao decided to take a day off.
Money can never be fully earned, so we shouldn't mistreat ourselves.
After applying the sunscreen provided by the system and putting on a large hat, Chen Zhiyao happily went out for a stroll.
Ah Huang, who was inside the house, wanted to go out and play with her, but she refused him without hesitation. The little guy could only stay at home and guard the house, feeling wronged.
Just outside the door, there's a straight cement road leading to the house. To the left is our small shop. If you keep walking, you can reach the beach.
The Chen family's house is located on the edge of the village. To the right is a small country road leading to their old house and shrimp pond.
Realizing she had run out of snacks at home, Chen Zhiyao headed straight for the village entrance.
The Chen family's house wasn't far from the small shop at the village entrance; it only took three or four minutes to walk there.
However, the doors to the convenience store and the courier station were closed, and she didn't have the keys.
Just as Chen Zhiyao took out her phone to send a WeChat message to her mother, she spotted a familiar figure in the distance.
Yan Shuting was carrying a large bucket, wearing a straw hat and rubber boots, and looked like she had just returned from beachcombing.
There aren't many people in the village to begin with, and since everyone goes out to the beach or fish early in the morning, the small shop hardly gets any customers.
Yan Shuting figured that since the convenience store wasn't doing much business at this time anyway, she might as well go beachcombing and earn some more money.
Seeing her mother return, Chen Zhiyao quickly stepped forward and eagerly took the large bucket of water from her hands.
Inside, there were some smaller seashells and several kilograms of oysters.
They don't look very big, but it's fine for our own consumption.
Upon seeing her daughter, Yan Shuting beamed and said:
"I was lucky today. While beachcombing, I found a tattered net with a red snapper weighing over two pounds and two rockfish trapped inside. I took it to the recycling station and sold it for a total of 90 yuan."
90 yuan may not seem like much, but with overfishing and scarce marine resources, it's considered a pretty good income in the village.
Yan Shuting's small shop only makes a profit of seventy or eighty yuan a day, and with the courier point, she only makes about three thousand yuan a month.
However, with the income from beachcombing, he can earn four or five thousand a month. His family's expenses are low, so he has saved much more money than Chen Zhiyao.
Seeing her daughter's fawning manner, Yan Shuting knew at a glance that she was craving snacks again and had come to get some.
He quickly stepped forward and opened the door of the convenience store, letting the little girl go inside and choose what she wanted.
The shop is located in a rented house belonging to a relative who has moved to the county. The rent is 500 yuan per month.
Previously, Yan Shuting helped out on her family's boat. After selling the fishing boat, she rented this house to open a small shop, and last year she opened a Cainiao Post Station as well.
There are three tables in the corridor near the entrance, which are used by the villagers to play mahjong.
This was suggested by Chen Weiqiang, who is good at doing business. If the convenience store is popular, the business will naturally be good.
As it turns out, this was indeed a good idea. At least, snacks like ice cream and soft drinks sell quite a bit every day.
The convenience store is well-stocked; you could call it a small supermarket.
The interior is divided into three sections. The first section upon entering is where the fishing gear is displayed. All of this gear was taken from Chen Weiqiang's fishing gear shop.
There are many fishing spots in the nearby villages, so there are a lot of anglers in the area.
In addition, their small shop is the only one in the nearby villages that sells fishing gear, so business is pretty good.
The large area on the left sells various daily necessities, while the food area on the right sells rice, flour, cooking oil, and various condiments.
Chen Zhiyao went straight to the snacks section. She picked out several different flavors of potato chips, as well as some other miscellaneous items. She also took several bottles of drinks, filling a large bag to the brim.
Yan Shuting, who was playing on her phone at the counter, immediately changed her expression when she saw that the girl was filling up more and more snacks.
Seeing that her mother was about to get angry, Chen Zhiyao quickly grabbed her snacks and half a bucket of small shellfish and ran away.
Yan Shuting watched the little girl's happy retreating figure, her eyes wide with anger, and couldn't help but nag:
"Eat fewer snacks, they're unhealthy."
"Okay, I'll just have a tiny bit!" she said, walking even faster.
My daughter had just left when a delivery guy came over with half a truckload of packages.
The courier station is right next to the convenience store, but there are few young people in the village, so there aren't many courier services.
Yan Shuting quickly packed up and put the items away, then leisurely drank tea and casually started watching videos.
Yan Shuting's current life is exactly the retirement life Chen Zhiyao dreamed of.
I just got home and found that my grandma and grandpa were already back.
Grandpa Chen took a fishing rod, and was also carrying a large bucket and a large net, clearly going fishing.
Seeing his granddaughter return, Grandpa Chen asked with a loving expression:
"Tangtang, do you want to go fishing with me?"
“Okay, I have nothing to do at home, I’ll go play with Grandpa.”
Then she turned around and went to the storage room, where she took out her father's fishing gear.
Chen Weiqiang owns a fishing tackle shop and enjoys fishing in his spare time, especially night fishing.
He and Grandpa Chen often went fishing together at night, but they came back empty-handed 8 out of 10 times, so the father and son were often scolded.
The fishing rod is a common sea fishing rod. She had seen it before when she helped out at the store. The wholesale price is probably a few hundred yuan.
This rod is definitely not suitable for deep-sea fishing for big fish, but it's perfectly fine for fishing near the village.
They also had a small aerator and a large water bucket, and the grandfather and grandson went out together.
