As everyone was chatting and laughing, the chef called out, "It's time to serve." For a moment, the courtyard was bustling with activity. Everyone found a seat and sat down. The table was filled with various dishes, and the aroma filled the air.
Wu Hao is from Northeast China. He has never eaten seafood since he was a child, so he particularly likes spicy crabs and stir-fried sea cucumbers with green onions.
In order to greet his uncle Wu Hao, Lin Zheng put food into his bowl. "Uncle Wu Hao, if you like crabs and sea cucumbers, eat more. When I have time, I will make some dried sea cucumbers and mail them to you."
"You are still young, don't worry so much. Your uncle Wu Hao is already an adult and doesn't need this little food." Wu Hao also noticed that Lin Qingmei's attitude towards Lin Zheng was very ordinary. In fact, he was a little worried about letting Lin Zheng stay in his hometown, but he didn't have time to take care of him if he took him back to Northeast China.
"Uncle Wu Hao, ordinary seafood is not valuable in our area. Everyone is tired of eating sea cucumbers and crabs." Lin Qinglan smiled and touched Lin Zheng's head. She raised her younger brother to be a grateful person.
"People who live here are so lucky. We who live inland can't even buy seafood if we want to eat it."
Wu Hao felt like a country bumpkin these past two days. After arriving in Linjia Bay, he found everything new and interesting.
"Eat more if you like. We in Linjia Bay have no shortage of seafood. It's not the right time for you to come over now. When our fishing boat goes out to sea in a while, you can eat deep-sea fish." Seeing that Wu Hao's wine glass was empty, Master Lin hurriedly poured him a glass of wine.
"Do you usually get a lot of results when you go out to sea? I've never been on a ship in my life!" Wu Hao's eyes lit up when he heard about going out to sea. Before he joined the army, he actually wanted to sign up to be a sailor, but he didn't have the chance because the navy didn't recruit soldiers at that time.
"The fishing boats in our village are not very big, so we can't go out to the open sea. We can only catch small fish and shrimps near the coast. But sometimes, if we are lucky, we can catch a lot of valuable goods." Uncle Lin smacked his lips and said.
At this time, Lin Zheng suddenly said: "Second Master, if we had a big ship, we could go to the open sea and maybe make a lot of money."
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Lin Zheng blushed all of a sudden because of the laughter.
"Haha, little Zheng has a good idea, but how much money does it cost to build a big ship? What should we do if our village doesn't have that much money now?" Uncle Lin San just thought that children's words were innocent, and Lin Zheng was still young, so how could he understand these.
"Then when I grow up, I will work hard to make a lot of money, and then buy a big fishing boat for the village." Lin Zheng patted his chest and made a promise loudly.
"Stop bragging. It will be good if you can make money to build a house and marry a wife in the future." It's not that Lin Qingmei looked down on Lin Zheng. A large fishing boat now costs hundreds of thousands! In the future, it may cost tens of millions or even millions. If he is just a worker, he may not even be able to afford a motor for a fishing boat.
"Second sister, stop looking down on me. I will definitely make a lot of money in the future." Lin Zheng pouted and was very dissatisfied. His second sister was too mean. She even bullied children.
"Hmph, honest advice hurts. Let's talk about it when you can get full marks in the exam." Lin Qingmei likes to speak with facts, and if you can't do something, don't talk about it.
"Lin Zheng, after you finish your meal, take Uncle Wu Hao for a walk on the beach later. Don't disturb the adults when they are talking." Lin Qinglan was afraid that Lin Zheng had offended Lin Qingmei, so she quickly tried to find a way to get him out.
"Lin Zheng, let's go! I'm going out to digest my food." Wu Hao put down his chopsticks and pulled Lin Zheng out. If this silly child continued to be stubborn, he would be punished by his sister.
…
Lin Zheng led Wu Hao to the beach, where the sea breeze blew gently, bringing with it the unique salty smell of the sea. Many children were playing on the beach, and the sea surface in the distance was sparkling under the sunlight.
"Lin Zheng, what are your dreams for the future?"
"Yes! I want to be a general in the future so that I can protect my elder sister and second sister." Lin Zheng felt a little discouraged when he thought about the fighting power of his elder sister and second sister. What should he do to be more powerful than them?
"Does your second sister love you?" Wu Hao is now very worried about Lin Zheng's condition.
