What is it like to take your children to the beach?
I don’t know about other people’s Jian Yuelan, but the one in her family is not only smart, but also very lucky.
I usually bring Doudou with me to the beach, and this kid always finds good things.
This time was no exception. Not long after arriving at the destination, he led Daji and the others to pick up a lot of cat's eye snails, octopuses and mantis shrimps the size of an adult's palm.
All I could hear were his excited screams and the meows of the kittens.
Jian Yuelan stared at it for a while, then discussed with him, "Doudou, you and Grandma Daji can just play here while Mommy goes over there to dig crabs for you, okay?"
"where?"
The child looked up, and Jian Yuelan pointed to the mudflats not far away, "Over there."
"Yes, Mom is safe."
This means that she should be careful.
"Okay, then mom is going."
"goodbye!"
The children waved to her happily, and Daji and the others meowed and came over to rub against her.
Doudou also rushed over when he saw it, "Mom."
This meant that she should bend down and lower her head.
"What are you doing..."
A loud kiss interrupted her words.
Jian Yuelan was stunned for a moment before she kissed him back, "Mom will be back soon, you have to protect yourself and Grandma Daji and the others."
"Okay."
So, Jian Yuelan said hello to the old lady and took her equipment to the mudflats not far away.
Blue crabs are beach-dwelling crabs that like to live in intertidal mudflats or muddy mudflats and build nests in the mud of the mudflats.
The ocean resources are very abundant now. After the tide recedes, you can not only dig blue crabs on the mudflats, but also pick up a lot of good things.
Therefore, after separating from Zhang Nan and the others, she brought the elderly and children straight here.
This is a treasure land that she found with great difficulty.
Not many people come here on weekdays.
Such a large piece of land belongs to her. I hope she will have a good harvest today.
As soon as she entered the mudflats, Jian Yuelan picked up turbot, mantis shrimp and a few scallops.
There is also a snail that I don’t recognize. It is quite big and has beautiful patterns.
She couldn't figure out how such a big snail could appear on the mudflats, but it didn't matter; if she picked it up, it would be hers.
After picking up a lot of things here and there, she began to look for blue crab holes.
Soon, a hole with a blue crab crawling through appeared in her sight.
"That's you."
Squatting down, she picked up a small shovel and started working.
When the digging was almost done, she cleared the sand and mud, then reached in and explored carefully.
Then, she felt something hard.
Then he raised and swung his hand, and the black, muddy blue crab was thrown out.
The moment it landed, the blue crab that had left its nest immediately ran to the side with its claws and fangs bared.
"Here you go."
Jian Yuelan quickly grabbed it and felt its weight with a satisfied smile, "A good start, it's over a kilogram."
She scooped up a lump of mud and covered the blue crab's eyes with it so that it could not see.
Then put it in a bucket separated by grass leaves and branches. With something separating them, the octopus, turbot and the like will not be crushed to death by it.
Although it's all death, it's better to die later than early.
Once there is the first blue crab, there will be a second one... and then many more.
In more than an hour, Jian Yuelan dug out more than twenty blue crabs.
September to November is the season for blue crabs to spawn. The blue crabs at this time are the fattest, with shells as big as plates and rich in yellow and oil.
After looking at her harvest, she stopped working and moved away from the mudflat step by step with the bucket to meet up with Doudou and the others.
Seeing her coming back with the bucket, the old lady came over to take a look at the harvest in the bucket, and immediately smiled, "Zhizhi, you poked the blue crab nest today."
"Where, where?"
Little Doudou, who was playing with Daji and the others in the sand, immediately dropped his shovel and ran over to join in the fun as if he had discovered a new world.
Daji and the others followed immediately.
"Here."
Jian Yuelan took a blue crab and placed it on the beach. The blue crab, with its eyes covered with mud, crawled left and right on the beach.
Little Doudou wailed in a baby voice, "Mommy, a big crab."
"Yes, today we are lucky and there are only big blue crabs."
She was about to pick up the blue crab and throw it back into the bucket when the calico cat Meimei suddenly rushed over and started beating the blue crab with her little claws raised.
Maomao swung his fists so hard that he almost wanted to fly.
He kept meowing in his mouth.
Jian Yuelan and the old lady were confused. What was going on? The blue crab didn't provoke it, so why was it beating it?
"Meimei, don't hit meow!"
When Xiao Doudou made a sound, Meimei, who was raising her claws and wanted to hit him, suddenly stiffened her furry little body and turned around to meow at him.
"No fighting, just eating meow!"
Little Doudou squatted down, held its little paw, and said in a baby voice, "You guys eat meow."
As soon as he said this, Daji and the others immediately came over to rub against him.
Meimei even climbed on him, hugged him on both sides and turned him into a child on a cat climbing frame, touching this one and kissing that one. Her technique of keeping everything evenly balanced was very good.
Never favor any one cat over the other and treat them all the same.
After coaxing the kitten into submission, he looked over with his big black eyes, "Mom, are you back?"
"Yes."
"Okay, let's go home and eat crabs."
The children cheered and were very eager to eat crabs.
Jian Yuelan took them home with a smile.
Then she and the old lady began to sort out today's harvest.
As soon as the blue crabs and the fish, shrimps, snails, etc. that they had picked up were poured out, the child spotted a blue crab that stood out from the crowd. "Mom, it's yellow!"
