Chapter 255 Shell

Ma Guilan didn't think much of it. She said, "It's not easy for us country people to find jobs. And as a girl, it's enough for me to know a few words."

Liu Yinyin didn't expect Ma Guilan to think this way. She seemed to be very nice to the two girls, but she didn't expect...she was still somewhat biased towards boys.

Liu Yinyin thought for a moment and said to her, "Sister-in-law, girls should read more books. Think about it, if you can find a good job and earn money in the future, you will be more valued by your husband's family, right?"

In fact...what she wanted to say was that if a woman is able to earn money to support herself, she will not be easily bullied if she encounters any difficulties in the future.

Ma Guilan was stunned when she heard this. Perhaps she thought of something, and she said hesitantly, "It's not as simple as you say..."

There are different kinds of jobs in the city. Even if the old ones retire, there are still younger ones at home to take over.

I heard that many people in the city are sent to the countryside as educated youth because they have no jobs. Where are there any job opportunities for people from the countryside?

Liu Yinyin reminded her, "Sister-in-law, you forgot about Brother Tian. He holds a high position in the army and will be promoted in the future. You say... when his position is higher, it won't be too difficult to arrange a job for Da Niu and Er Niu, right?"

"If that doesn't work, we can still let the eldest and second girls join the army in the future. The army also has positions suitable for girls."

It is definitely a very honorable thing for people to join the army these days.

Tian Pinggui himself is also a soldier, and a military officer at that. When the eldest and second daughters grow up, his position will probably be promoted further.

By then, it seems possible to arrange a better job for the young lady?

After figuring it out, Ma Guilan was a little excited: "Hearing what you said, won't the eldest and second girls be able to make money in the future?"

In Ma Guilan's opinion, if a girl could have a job, how respectable it would be to talk about it?

As adults, not only will they benefit from it, but they will also have to worry less about them in the future, right?

The more Ma Guilan thought about it, the more it made sense.

Liu Yinyin nodded seriously: "So, sister-in-law, you have to let the girl continue to study, otherwise she won't get a good job."

Anyway, given the Tian family's financial situation, it is not difficult to provide for the two children's education. They cannot let their future be ruined due to a momentary negligence.

This time Ma Guilan did not object: "Okay, I'll ask people later to see if there is a school on the island."

Even if not, the troops will definitely pay attention to this issue as more family members follow the army in the future.

They are all military cadres and will definitely not let their children go without education.

Thinking of this, Liu Yinyin felt a lot more relieved.

After returning home, Liu Yinyin poured a basin of water to wash the small fish and shrimps.

The temperature difference on the island is large and it is still quite hot during the day, so these small seafood cannot be kept for long.

We can finish eating clams, razor clams, conch, abalone and octopus today.

There were a lot of small fish and shrimps, so Liu Yinyin thought about frying them in oil and making spicy dried fish.

The taste here is relatively light, and it goes better with rice when dipped in spicy dried fish.

After knowing Liu Yinyin's plan, Ma Guilan gave her all the small fish and shrimps she had caught.

Ma Guilan dug a lot of clams and razor clams today, but not many small fish and shrimps. It takes a lot of oil to cook these things.

Ma Guilan was too lazy to bother.

In addition to the small fish and shrimps, the three sea urchins picked up by Tian Erniu were also given to Liu Yinyin.

The young lady picked this thing up to play with. She had no idea how to eat it and wanted to throw it away. When Liu Yinyin saw it, she asked Ma Guilan to give the sea urchin to her.

Three sea urchins are just enough to make sea urchin steamed eggs for three children.

In the kitchen, Gu Cheng was helping Gu Yanyan take a bath.

There are two stoves inside, and the temperature in the room is high, so you won't catch a cold even if you take a shower.

Gu Cheng changed the water three times before he could wash away the sand on Gu Yanyan's body and in his hair.

The sun on the island is very strong, but Gu Yanyan likes to play outside.

When it first came, it was white and plump, but now it has been tanned into a little black ball.

After taking a shower, put clothes on the little guy.

"Dad..." Gu Yanyan stretched out his black little hand towards Gu Cheng.

Gu Cheng helped him put on his shoes and asked, "What's wrong? What do you want?"

Gu Yanyan is small and can't speak clearly: "I want... Beibei..."

He had just picked up a lot of beautiful shells on the beach and hadn't shown them to his mother yet.

"Beibei?" Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows, "You want shells?"

Gu Yanyan hummed twice and nodded seriously: "Dad, give it to me."

Gu Cheng: “…”

Gu Yanyan picked up the colorful shells that he had dug up on the beach and gave them to him.

The little guy dug up a lot, but...

He originally thought that Gu Yanyan was just digging for fun and would definitely forget about it in a blink of an eye.

So, when Tian Pinggui's daughter asked him for a beautiful shell, Gu Cheng gave it to her.

Unexpectedly, Gu Yanyan thought of the shells again at this moment.

Facing Gu Yanyan's expectant gaze, Gu Yanyan coughed and said, "Yanyan, I'm a boy. Those colorful shells are for girls to play with. I don't want them."

Gu Yanyan pouted and said firmly: "Dad, I want..."

He would have nothing even if he wanted it.

Gu Cheng said vaguely: "Dad will take you to the beach to dig for shells next time."

Gu Yanyan was sad to know that Gu Cheng did not put away the beautiful shells he dug.

Seeing the boy curled his lips and looked like he was about to cry, Gu Cheng said indifferently: "Okay, it's not a good thing. You are a boy, you can't shed tears for such a small thing."

"Dad..." It would have been better if Gu Cheng didn't say anything. After he said that, Gu Yanyan felt even more wronged, and tears fell down. "Yanyan... likes it."

Gu Cheng was a little amused and coaxed: "If you like it, I'll take you to dig next time. There's no more today."

Seeing the sad look on the boy's face, Gu Cheng felt quite guilty and consoled him, "Don't cry, I'll get you some candy, okay?"

"No..." Gu Yanyan was really unhappy and didn't even want his favorite candy.

Gu Cheng: “…”

"What's wrong with Yanyan?" When Liu Yinyin came in, she saw Gu Yanyan sobbing and wiping his tears, and Gu Cheng squatting beside him to comfort the boy.

"Mom..." Seeing Liu Yinyin, Gu Yanyan cried even more sadly, "Dad is bad..."

Liu Yinyin: “…”

Seeing the little guy crying with tears and snot, Liu Yinyin felt both distressed and amused.

After asking Gu Cheng, I found out why Gu Yanyan was so sad.

The little guy doesn't usually shed tears.
