Just when Lin Qingmei wanted to continue pumping water from the first puddle, she heard the call of the village chief's wife from a distance.
Oh no, could something have happened to the village chief’s wife?
Lin Qingmei hurriedly ran in the direction she had just come from, fearing that if she got there too late something might happen to the village chief's wife.
"Aunt, what's wrong with you?"
"Qingmei, come over here and help me. There's a big fish here and I can't hold it down any longer."
Ten minutes ago, the village chief's wife finished digging clams and wanted to come to find Lin Qingmei. Not long after she walked away, she saw a big red fish pushed over by the waves.
Seeing such a big fish stranded, she wanted to pull it up, but she didn't expect the fish to be so strong that it almost dragged her into the sea.
With Lin Qingmei's help, the village chief's wife grabbed the fish's head with one hand, and slowly, the big fish stopped struggling.
"Auntie, what kind of fish is this? It's so beautiful!"
"This is grouper. It's delicious when steamed. But this fish is expensive. It can be sold for a few yuan per pound at a purchasing station. A grouper as big as this one can be sold for dozens of yuan."
The village chief's wife was very excited, as it was the first time she caught such a big grouper.
Today she was really lucky. In the past, she could only pick up some crabs and shells when she went to the sea, and rarely encountered fish, especially big fish. Catching this grouper would make her brag about it in her village for a long time.
Now, fish is so valuable? This made Lin Qingmei start to get excited.
She has several yachts in her space. Why not take her fishing nets and go fishing someday?
But the village head's wife's next words interrupted her thoughts, so she just lay down obediently!
"Although this grouper is valuable, it is also difficult to catch. Villagers rarely encounter groupers when they go out to sea to fish. Most of them are Spanish mackerel, mackerel, sea bass and the like. Although there are many of these fish, they cannot be sold at a high price. Don't be fooled by the fact that there are fishing boats in the village. Every time they go out to sea, the profit is not enough for the villagers to buy food except for the fuel cost. When your grandfather was still a generation ago, he had a way to get foreign food. At that time, we had a much better life in Linjia Bay. It's a pity that not long after your grandfather retired, the long-distance sailing ship broke down and all the boatmen were laid off and returned to Linjia Bay."
The village head's wife was filled with nostalgia when she thought of the good old days, but it was a pity that they were already in the past and could never be the same again.
“Aunt, I miss my grandparents. I didn’t have to worry about anything when they were still alive. Now I’m all alone at home, without anyone to talk to.” At first Lin Qingmei just wanted to act pitiful, but she didn’t expect that she would burst into tears while talking.
"Aren't your parents going to come and take you to the Northeast? Your dad said he was worried about your grandparents staying at home, so he sent you here to keep them company. Now that your grandparents are gone, how can they be at ease leaving you here alone?"
"My dad is out on a mission, and my mom doesn't like me. She probably doesn't want to see me!"
Lin Qingmei planned to take the initiative and tell Yao Yanfang that she didn't like her. She was already sixteen years old, and she would be able to get married in a few years. What if Yao Yanfang wanted to sell her out?
Since she abandoned the original owner when she was young, then don't come to recognize her as your relative. If a biological daughter can abandon her parents, don't think she has a high moral bottom line.
"That's right. It's normal for them to have no feelings for you, a daughter who grew up without your parents. Your grandparents didn't want your mom to marry them, but your dad liked her, so they had to compromise. Your mom never came once during these years. She's really cruel to ignore her own daughter. Your parents didn't come when your grandfather died, and your grandma didn't see them when she died this time. I feel it's not worth it for your grandparents."
The village head's wife wanted to continue talking, but thinking that Lin Qingmei was their daughter after all, it seemed a bit inappropriate to say that to her parents. After thinking about it, she shut up silently. She was just a chatterbox. Why did she say so much in front of a child?
Lin Qingmei didn't care at all that the village head's wife scolded her two heartless parents. Although Lin Jianshe often went on missions, Grandma Lin was ill for several months before she passed away. Could it be that he had never been to the army, or that the people in the army and Yao Yanfang had kept it from him?
Before she died, Grandma Lin was still waiting for Lin Jianshe to come and see her for the last time. Unfortunately, she never waited for her long-missed son to come.
In the deep mountains and jungles of Yun Province
Six soldiers with camouflaged faces were crawling forward, and not far from them there was another team of several dozen people.
"Captain, we are almost at the border. When should we start?"
