Chapter 213 Beachcombing on Turtle Island 1



Hi everyone!

"Ring ring ring..."

Chen Zhiyao rubbed her eyes and opened the door. She was about to wash her face and brush her teeth when she accidentally kicked the trash can that had already fallen over.

She felt she had kicked something, looked down, and saw that the contents of the trash can had spilled all over the floor.

The tissues and bags were torn to shreds, and there were many small teeth marks on them.

The culprit was still blatantly tearing apart a wad of tissues.

Chen Zhiyao was just about to go up and teach this Samoyed, who liked to destroy things, a lesson.

Then I saw the little guy tilting his head and looking at me with his big, watery blue eyes.

That little face was so well-behaved, so innocent.

Chen Zhiyao, who was about to hit the child, immediately softened and silently told herself: The child is still young and needs to be taught slowly.

"You're just all about acting cute and charming. You're not allowed to rummage through the trash cans anymore."

As she spoke, she led it to the trash can, first pointing to the trash can, and then gently patting the little guy's bottom.

"Got it? If you dare rummage through the trash again, I'll beat you up!"

"Woof woof woof..."

The little guy couldn't understand what his owner was saying, and kept acting cute and charming towards her, looking like a carefree and innocent sweetheart.

Looking into its clear eyes, which seemed ready to be tricked at any moment, Chen Zhiyao felt a little worried, afraid that the little guy might be lost if she let go.

"The little guy may be a bit slow-witted, but he's good-looking. What if he gets tricked by someone else?"

With a worried expression, Chen Zhiyao let go of the silly Samoyed and then grabbed a broom and a dustpan.

Just then, the door next to them opened, and Chen Weiqiang walked out, yawning.

Seeing the mess of trash, he chuckled and patted the little guy's head.

"Wow, this little guy is already destroying the house at such a young age."

As she spoke, she picked up the little dumpling again and looked closely at those clear blue eyes:

"Those big blue eyes, don't they look a bit like a husky? This little thing is even a mixed breed."

Chen Zhiyao belatedly realized that the little guy was actually mixed-race; those big blue eyes clearly showed he had husky blood.

She glanced at the trash scattered on the ground, then at the well-behaved, adorable little puppy, whose entire being radiated innocence:

"Oh no, this little guy has two of the three silly traits: husky and Samoyed. Will he start destroying the house every day from now on?"

Chen Weiqiang patted his daughter's shoulder with a sympathetic look, "You brought this little guy home, so remember to keep the house tidy from now on."

Yan Shuting had just stepped out when she heard this man's sleazy words and couldn't help but slap his arm:

“Our Xue Tuan is such a well-behaved child, how could she destroy the house?”

As she spoke, she pulled the smiling little angel, who was tilting her head and grinning foolishly at her, into her arms.

"Our Snowball is so good. Are you hungry? Let's go have breakfast."

Looking at her mother's kind face, Chen Zhiyao thought that she must have been captivated by the little guy's good looks.

Hopefully, when it destroys the house in the future, it will be spared its life because it's so cute.

After breakfast, apart from the two little dogs who stayed at home, the family of five went out to earn money with high spirits.

Grandma Chen and Yan Shuting drove their family's tricycle to the beach to collect clams.

Going out to catch seafood every morning has basically become a daily routine for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

If I don't go beachcombing one day, I feel empty inside, as if I've missed something.

Chen Weiqiang drove his van, bringing his father and daughter to the dock.

Yesterday, we went to Turtle Island. The fishing boat was almost out of oil, so Chen Weiqiang asked the delivery guy to fill it up.

The ice in the freezer has melted almost completely in the last couple of days, so we added another 300 blocks of ice.

Chen Zhiyao calculated the cost of a day's trip at sea, and it was quite high.

If I didn't have my own system, I probably wouldn't even be able to earn back the cost of fuel after a single trip to sea.

"My eldest cousin is the smartest. He converted the fishing boat into a fishing boat. Whether or not we catch any fish, we'll at least make a decent amount of money for the boat."

After drifting at sea for three hours, the fishing boat finally arrived near Turtle Island.

This time, Chen Zhiyao took out the crab traps and fish traps early, afraid that she would forget these money-making tools again.

However, I wasn't as lucky as I was yesterday. I wandered around for a while but didn't encounter any decent schools of fish.

In the end, they had no choice but to put all the fishing gear down near Turtle Island.

As Chen Zhiyao stepped off the fishing boat, she was pleasantly surprised by the beach on Turtle Island.

"This is so beautiful!"

Turtle Island Beach

The snow-white, fine sand, combined with the clear, azure seawater, left even Chen Zhiyao, who grew up by the sea, speechless.

The islands here are quite far from the mainland, so not many people come here, making the seawater exceptionally clean and clear.

Looking at the blue sea, Chen Zhiyao thought of her little Samoyed at home; the little guy's eyes were as beautiful as the sea.

However, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it can't fill an empty stomach. Chen Zhiyao still remembered that she came here to make money by beachcombing.

The grandfather, his two grandchildren, and their tools for beachcombing set off step by step toward the beautiful and mysterious sea.

Just as Chen Zhiyao was about to turn on the X-ray glasses, a clear, girlish voice rang in her mind:

"Tangtang, walk to the left side of the beach, there are good things there."

Xiaomeng rarely speaks on her own initiative, but the few times she did offer reminders, she found many good things.

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhiyao jogged to the left without hesitation, while also asking curiously:

"Xiao Meng, what kind of good stuff is it?"

"Anyway, there's a surprise. You'll find out in about 10 more meters," Xiao Meng said mysteriously.

Seeing that Xiaomeng refused to speak, Chen Zhiyao had no choice but to quicken her pace.

Before long, a large patch of snails appeared in front of her, along with many sand clams.

Oncomelania and clams

Seeing all these little ones, Chen Zhiyao beamed with joy and quickly waved to the father and son not far away:

"Dad, Grandpa, come here quickly, there are lots of snails and clams over here."

Grandpa Chen, who was digging for cat's-eye snails not far away, laughed heartily:

"Hey, here I come! Luckily I took a sand rake with me when I left!"

Immediately afterwards, Chen Weiqiang's smug voice came from a little further away:

"I won't go over there. I just found a tattered net with several black sea bream and two large blue crabs hanging inside. I'm busy with that now."

"That brat, all he does is show off."

These snails and clams were quite large; Chen Zhiyao picked them up in a short while and had almost half a bucket full.

Grandpa Chen, wielding a sand rake, moved twice as fast, piling up the snails and clams in front of him into a small mountain.

In less than 10 minutes, the grandfather and grandson had collected this large collection of seashells.

The two of them caught a large sack, which they estimated to weigh around 100 pounds.

With the Lunar New Year just around the corner, the prices of small seafood like snails and clams, which are usually inexpensive, have doubled.

The grandfather and grandson were overjoyed at the thought of easily earning over a thousand yuan.
