With Xiuxiu, the funny guy, around, everyone was amused from time to time during the following time of fishing.
"Wow, Aunt Qian is awesome! She caught another big fish.
Grandma Hu, what kind of fish did Auntie catch? "
Hu Guifen suppressed her laughter and replied, "It's flounder."
Xiuxiu suddenly realized: "Oh, flounder. I think I've eaten it before. It has very few bones, right, mom?"
Wang Yufeng nodded: "Yes, yes, your memory gets better when it comes to food.
Mom told you not to be naughty or play in the water, why can't you remember it?"
Xiuxiu frowned, very distressed: "But I just like playing in the water! Dad likes the army, you and grandma support him very much.
How come I like playing in the water, but you guys don’t support me at all?”
There was a burst of suppressed laughter all around.
Wang Yufeng held her forehead with her hand as she had a headache, and with a heavy shovel she scooped up a large number of clams.
Qian Xiaolan laughed, squatted in front of Xiuxiu, and said seriously:
"Because your father's love is not just love, but work, which can make money to support the family and buy delicious food and beautiful clothes for Xiuxiu.
You like playing in the water, but you just like playing. Not only can you not make money like your father, but you will also get sick. Then your parents will have to take you to see a doctor and spend money to buy bitter pills. "
Xiuxiu's expression changed immediately: "I don't want to take medicine, I don't want to take medicine, medicine tastes so bad!
Auntie, I understand. I will never play in the water again."
Then he turned to Wang Yufeng and said, "Mom, I know I was wrong. I will be obedient in the future."
Wang Yufeng was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes, and she couldn't help but say, "It's only Sister Xiaolan who has the solution. We have told Xiuxiu countless times, but she just won't listen.
I didn't expect that just a few words from you would make Xiuxiu realize her mistake. This girl is indeed a college student, and she is really amazing!"
Xiuxiu raised her chin proudly: "That's right, grandma said that aunt is the best college student in the whole Bailong City, and even in the whole Daxia Country."
Qian Xiaolan was embarrassed by this, and she quickly changed the subject: "Xiu Xiu, look, Auntie found a scallop. Let's open it and see if there are any pearls inside, okay?"
When Xiuxiu heard this, her attention was immediately diverted: "Okay, okay, but auntie, what are pearls?"
“Pearls are the round beads found inside these shells.
Auntie's scallop is so big, if there is a pearl in it, can you give it to Xiuxiu?"
"Wow, thank you, auntie!" After Xiuxiu thanked her, she stared at Qian Xiaolan with her round eyes.
Wang Yufeng felt embarrassed to take advantage of him, so she refused.
Qian Xiaolan smiled slightly, "Sister-in-law, don't rush to refuse, this is an uncertain thing.
If pearls can really be found, it can only mean that Xiuxiu is so lucky."
After Qian Xiaolan said so, Wang Yufeng couldn't refuse. If she could really get the pearl, it would be a blessing for her daughter Xiuxiu. How could she push the blessing away?
At worst, if she really finds pearls, she can just buy them.
How could Qian Xiaolan not know what Wang Yufeng was thinking?
She winked at Xiuxiu, took out a tool and slowly pried open the scallop.
The people around also stretched their necks to look over here.
When the scallops were fully opened, everyone was envious.
"Wow, Xiuxiu is so lucky!"
"Such a big pearl is worth a lot of money. Is this really a gift?"
…
Qian Xiaolan took out the pearl, which seemed very big to others but insignificant to her, from the scallop and handed it to Xiuxiu:
"This is yours now. Give it to mom for safekeeping so you can make jewelry when you grow up."
The diameter of this pearl is about 6mm, which is neither big nor small. It has a round appearance and soft color, and looks very pleasing.
Xiuxiu was very happy, but before taking the thing, she turned around and looked at Wang Yufeng.
“This is too expensive…”
As soon as she opened her mouth, Qian Xiaolan interrupted her: "Sister-in-law, if you do this again, I will be angry.
This thing is not worth much. I said I would give it to the child, so please don't let me be the one who goes back on my word."
Hu Guifen also said, "His sister-in-law should accept it. Xiaolan has always been trustworthy since she was a child."
Wang Yufeng hesitated for a while and nodded: "Then I will shamelessly let Xiuxiu accept it."
When Xiuxiu heard her mother say this, she jumped up happily: "Thank you, Auntie, thank you, Grandma Hu, and thank you, Mom!"
Qian Xiaolan handed the pearl to Xiuxiu, who played with it for a while before sensibly handing it to Wang Yufeng: "Mom, keep it for me. When you grow up, I will make you a beautiful necklace."
Wang Yufeng immediately smiled happily.
"Oh, this child is so sensible and lovable."
Hu Guifen really likes Xiuxiu. If her hands weren't dirty, she would want to hug Xiuxiu and give her a kiss.
People around her were also envious of Wang Yufeng for having such a lovely and sensible daughter.
"Oh, now it seems that daughters are still the best! None of the boys are considerate. I have to thank God that they don't make me angry."
"That's right, my boy eats a lot and doesn't work, but my daughter is sensible and knows how to help me.
But she is not as eloquent as Xiuxiu, a little girl, who makes people happy!"
…
Amid the sighs of the crowd, the sea level gradually rose and everyone carried their belongings back home.
After Qian Xiaolan and Hu Guifen returned home, they poured all the fish they caught by the well and counted them.
This time I basically spent time playing with the kids and didn't gain much.
There was only one flounder, one mudskipper, three swimming crabs, four or five moon clams and five or six pounds of clams.
Qian Xiaolan sat on a stone bench to enjoy the cool air.
Hu Guifen scooped some water into a basin, added some salt, and placed the clams and moon shells in it to let them spit out the sand.
The flounder and sea bream were processed, and the swimming crabs were washed and brought into the kitchen.
Qian Xiaolan wanted to go into the kitchen to help light the fire, but was driven out.
"You are afraid of heat with a big belly, so don't go into the kitchen. Go back to your room and turn on the fan to cool down."
Qian Xiaolan had no choice but to go back to her room to rest.
They stayed on West Asia Island for ten days. During this period, in addition to training the employees, they also held a meeting for everyone in the team to discuss which factory would have good prospects and drew up a timetable.
The rest of the matter was left for the team to discuss on their own. She had helped in every way she could.
On the eleventh day, Gu Yanqing sent the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to Shenzhen.
This time they traveled by boat, which was a cargo ship that Qian Xiaolan had exchanged for. If the truck transported the goods too far, the glass bottles of the skin care products would break, causing too great a loss.
He had already booked several cargo ships with the Southern Province Shipyard.
The shipyard belongs to the naval base. When Qian Xiaolan went to order a ship, they gave her a big discount for the sake of Qian Jingming and Old Man Qian.
The cargo ship floated on the sea for more than ten hours and finally arrived in Shenzhen.
Qian Xiaolan only had time to rest for half a day, and then she was busy dealing with the piled up matters and preparing supplies for Karina's family.
