Seeing Qiangqiang being scared away, Chenchen and Anan cheered.
I quickly pulled my father aside and told him what had just happened.
Zhou Zhengting touched the two children and said, "You have done a good job. We can avoid causing trouble, but if others deliberately cause trouble, we are definitely not afraid of them."
Jiang Qingyue smiled and said, "Why did you come here suddenly? Didn't you say you would be very busy today?"
Zhou Zhengting turned his head to look at her and said with a smile, "We are almost done. I am worried that it might be dangerous for you to go fishing for the first time. If you are worried, come and take a look. I will go over later in the afternoon."
Jiang Qingyue hummed, then handed him the bucket and looked at it. "It's my first time here, and I've just found some skills. I didn't pick up much."
"It's okay, I'm here, right?"
Having said that, Zhou Zhengting led the three of them inside.
After a while, cheers from Chenchen and Anan could be heard.
"Dad, that's awesome!"
"Mom, look, what a big crab! Dad caught it!"
After catching enough crabs, Zhou Zhengting took a few people to catch clams.
Jiang Qingyue was surprised to see how good he was. "I've never heard you say you can do these things before. Do you come here often?"
Zhou Zhengting smiled and said, "I've never been here before. This is not to show off in front of the kids, so on the way here just now, I watched a lot of other people do it along the way."
After almost filling up a bucket, Jiang Qingyue said, "Let's go back. This is enough for us to eat."
Zhou Zhengting hummed, "Just now I asked Old Xie to take my place for a while, and he asked to come over for lunch."
Jiang Qingyue shook her head and smiled, "I know. You would have called him even if you didn't say it. This person has been asking for crabs for so long, so he must be there."
Several people were walking and talking and laughing.
I happened to meet Sister Yao who was returning with a lot of goods.
Sister Yao is an old hand at catching seafood, and her two children are also very capable.
So the two buckets carried by the three people were almost full.
Seeing that Jiang Qingyue only had one bucket full, he quickly picked some larger abalone from his own bucket and threw them over, "Take these back and eat them."
Jiang Qingyue felt embarrassed and thought of giving her some oysters in exchange.
But Sister Yao insisted on not taking it. "No, we have enough to eat for several days. This thing is not easy to store. We need to keep it in seawater when we go back."
On the way, Sister Yao also heard about the story of Zhang Cuilian and her son.
She was so angry that she choked, "Well done, but we can't indulge her bad habits. She takes advantage of her husband being the political commissar to take advantage of such a small thing."
A few people returned to the compound chatting and laughing.
As soon as he walked into his yard, he saw Xie Xiangyang waiting at the door from afar.
"Hey, you're here so early?"
Xie Xiangyang quickly stepped forward to help carry the bucket, and said with a flattering smile, "Sister-in-law, didn't Lao Zhou tell you?"
Jiang Qingyue smiled and said, "What? Oh, you are welcome to eat crabs at noon."
"That's not the matter." Xie Xiangyang glared at Zhou Zhengting as he spoke, "Sister-in-law, I heard that you are not going to work today, so Comrade Hu should not be working either. You happen to be free today, can you invite her to come over for dinner?"
Jiang Qingyue smiled and said, "I'll help you and invite her to my house for dinner?"
Xie Xiangyang scratched his head embarrassedly, "Yeah, she didn't come even when I called her, so I can only trouble you, sister-in-law."
As he spoke, Xie Xiangyang took out another box from behind him.
"Look, sister-in-law, I went to the store on the way here and bought you the latest style of scarf."
Jiang Qingyue took a look and smiled, "You keep it. If I want this scarf, Lao Zhou will buy it for me. You can keep it and give it to your partner in the future."
"What about this phone call?"
"I'll just fight."
Jiang Qingyue washed her hands helplessly in the yard, thought for a moment, and then dialed Hu Changying's number.
Hu Changying was very surprised and delighted when she received Jiang Qingyue's call.
"Jiang Qingyue? Why did you call me? Ah, that's not what I meant. I was just too happy. I thought you would be mad at me for what happened yesterday, but I didn't expect you to call me on your own initiative!"
Jiang Qingyue laughed softly and said, "Maybe I just couldn't get rid of my anger, so I called you to have a fight."
Hu Changying exclaimed, "Comrade Jiang, I'm sorry. Yesterday—"
Jiang Qingyue interrupted quickly, "I was just kidding you."
"Hehe, I didn't expect you to be able to joke."
Jiang Qingyue sneered, then asked, "Are you free today?"
"I'm free, what's the matter?"
"Didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to ask me about my paper? I happen to be at home with nothing to do this afternoon, so if it's convenient for you, come over to my house!"
"Really? When can I come over?"
"You can come over now. Today is low tide, so we went to the beach to pick up some seafood. If you don't mind, come to my house for lunch!"
Hu Changying was overjoyed and so excited that he couldn't speak for a moment. "Okay, I'll go right over. Tell me the address."
Jiang Qingyue repeated the address and then said, "I have something to tell you. In addition to my husband and children, there are two male comrades at lunch. They are my husband's comrades-in-arms. Do you mind?"
Hu Changying laughed happily, "What does it matter? I came to see you. Why are you so conservative? There are a lot of male comrades in our unit working in the same laboratory every day."
Jiang Qingyue smiled and said, "Okay, then come quickly!"
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Qingyue specifically told Xie Xiangyang, "I have completed the mission, but you must not scare the other party. You two have nothing to do with each other, and I haven't told her the reason yet."
Xie Xiangyang nodded, "Sister-in-law is very thoughtful. It's just a coincidence that we met here for a meal. Take your time."
Perhaps because Hu Changying was coming, Xie Xiangyang became particularly active and diligent.
He took the initiative to take on the task of picking crabs and oysters.
Jiang Qingyue looked at the bucket full of various small seafoods.
After thinking for a moment, he came up with an idea.
Crabs are used to make spicy crabs.
Oysters are made into steamed oysters with garlic vermicelli.
Razor clams are stir-fried with scallions and ginger.
As for the few sea urchins, it is most suitable to use them to make steamed eggs.
As for the remaining shells, shrimps, etc. that are not enough to make a whole plate, boil them all, rinse them with cold boiled water, mix them with chopped ginger, garlic, chili and various seasonings, and make them into small seafood sauce.
After Xie Xiangyang finished cleaning the crabs and oysters, he took the initiative to ask, "Sister-in-law, is there any other work?"
Jiang Qingyue was not polite and asked Zhou Zhengting to bring him a few heads of garlic. "Chop the garlic!"
"Okay!"
Seeing his useless look, Zhou Zhengting couldn't help but laugh, "Strange, Old Xie really got it this time!"
