Wen Family Has a Wife

The remaining two seabirds, Chen Ningya, asked Wen Youshan to take them to the Huang family.

He didn't sleep all night, and Wen Youshan borrowed a scooter to push the messy seafood out the next day before dawn. Judging from his posture, he probably wanted to run to the county seat.

Chen Ningya didn't stop it. It's a good thing for a man to have his own ideas, and she should support it.

After Wen Youshan left, only the half-dried octopus and shell meat were left at home. However, these two things were very heavy. The children tasted the delicious seafood yesterday, but they could not accept it at first. But now I can't forget it, staring at the dried seafood, eyes glowing, and a few children just guarding the birds that drive away flies and stealing food, and have a lot of fun. Chen Ningya wondered if she should go into the mountain again.

When Wen Yuanliang heard it, he had to keep up with him. If Wen Youshan was at home, it would be fine. Now there is only Chen Ningya alone. He doesn't agree. What if Niang had an accident in the mountains.

Seeing his insistence, Chen Ningya only hesitated for a moment before agreeing. After all, Wen Yuanliang is the eldest son in the family. He will be nine years old after Chinese New Year.

Since he was going to go out, he naturally had to be fully prepared. Wen Yuanliang and Wen Youshan also went hunting in the mountains before, but it was on the outskirts of the mountain, and the old forest in the deep mountains had never set foot there before. Don't look at his sworn appearance, but he was completely clueless. .

Chen Ningya didn't break it, she brought the equipment for entering the mountain, and got some sickles and choppers according to Wen Yuanliang's wishes. After Wen Yuanliang was sure that there were no omissions, the mother and son officially left the house.

Now that Chen Ningya goes out, she doesn't have to worry about the hunger of her children at home. Zhang's house is full of grain, and Wen Yuanzhen can already be on her own. Wen Yuanhong has become more and more sensible, and he can't do anything else. Running errands is definitely not a problem. Yuan Jing is also obedient, let her take care of her brother, she can really stare at her brother all day without adults worrying at all.

After Chen Ningya left, Wen Yuanzhen immediately dispatched work to her three younger brothers and sisters, and she used the river water that Wen Yuanliang got back to make do with washing clothes. There were no adults at home, so she dared not go out. The children were tired after playing for a while. Wen Yuanzhen simply let them go back to the house to rest, while she guarded the things in the yard, thinking about going in for a while and then putting it in the house when she went in to cook.

On the other side, Chen Ningya led Wen Yuanliang through the mountains quickly. Occasionally, when one or two villagers came across, they said they went into the mountains to find food, and no one asked any more questions. In this way, the mother and son quickly entered the deep mountain range.

Wen Yuanliang's nerves became more and more tense, her eyes widened and she took a few saliva occasionally, as if she looked dangerous everywhere, but Chen Ningya always looked indifferent, walking on the mountain road with ease without saying a word, and she could follow her closely. Wen Yuanliang, who was in the office, explained the surrounding environment to him from time to time, but Wen Yuanliang didn't even have a chance to interject.

The trees in the deep mountains block the sky and the light is dim. It is difficult to estimate the time, and I don't know how long I have walked. It was not until Wen Yuanliang came to the creek where Chen Ningya and the others rested that he suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment. He looked at the sky. Chaoyang, he asked curiously: "Mother, how far have we come? How long will it take to arrive?"

Chen Ningya used the bamboo tube she brought over to fill a tube full of clean stream water, and then said: "We set off at 90 o'clock, and it is estimated that it is almost 10 o'clock now, and then we will go over the front of this mountain. It should be low tide time. , just in time for us to collect the bamboo baskets."

Seeing Chen Ningya's high spirits, Wen Yuanliang also looked forward to it.

The two of them crossed the last mountain in one go and reached the beach. It was the first time that Wen Yuanliang saw the sea. Unlike Wen Youshan's panic at the time, he was so excited that he almost flew up and rushed straight to the beach. Go, I almost cried, "Mother, my shoes got stuck in the mud."

Chen Ningya: "..." This unfortunate little boy is really looking for trouble.

After the two of them pulled out their shoes, Chen Ningya led Wen Yuanliang to get the mud sled out of the pit, and the two worked together to push the mud sled onto the mudflat.

Wen Yuanliang got on the mud sled under Chen Ningya's suggestion. It has to be said that a child learns things fast. Chen Ningya only demonstrated it twice. The boy can already ride the mud sled and gallop on the mudflat. If it weren't for Chen Ning Ya stopped it in time, the kid was probably going crazy.

I rowed all the way from the beach to the farthest bamboo basket. During this period, I also saw some blue crabs, crawling shrimps and stranded sea fish. It seemed that they were about to be dried by the sun. alive.

Wen Yuanliang was immediately amused and said with a grin, "Mother, you said this seaside is really nice, you can catch fish without going into the water, and it's bigger than the fish in the Yongjiang River. If I could pick up and eat it like this every day, I could even dream of it. Wake up laughing."

Chen Ningya laughed and said: "Then you wake up every day from a dream and laugh, let me tell you, as long as you take good care of this beach, we are not afraid to starve to death even in barren years, this beach is the retreat for our family, so you Remember not to speak out, we are not afraid of thieves, but we are afraid of thieves, what if the people in the village are jealous?"

After Chen Ningya said this, Wen Yuanliang's sanity instantly returned to his position, he nodded solemnly, and repeatedly assured that he would not say it.

Chen Ningya was relieved at this point. Wen Yuanliang was left to pick up the things. The two of them hadn't picked up the bamboo basket yet, and the basket they brought was already loaded with a lot of seafood.

Raising a bamboo basket is a hard work. Before Wen Youshan was there, Chen Ningya didn't need to do anything at all. Now, there are only their mother and son, and Chen Ningya has become the main force. Just picking up the bamboo basket together made her exhausted. Not bad, not only eels, eels, but also a huge octopus caught in a bamboo basket.

Wen Yuanliang was really shocked. He had been dizzy and busy all morning. When the tide started to rise, there were still dozens of bamboo baskets left. Two more and it won't work.

Wen Yuanliang was so tired lying on the sand that he stared at the blue sky without blinking. For the first time, he had a different understanding of life.

Before he could feel it for long, Chen Ningya came over and dragged him to work, "Open up these two large baskets of shell meat, I'll rinse it off after a while and put it on the fire to dry the water, take it back later, I'll go Kill those octopuses, and I'll leave it to you here."

Wen Yuanliang looked at the two big baskets and couldn't say anything. Fortunately, these were all food, and he was more motivated to work.

The mother and son are busy with their own work. The clay pot on the fire is cooking fresh seafood, a few freshly killed sea fish, and some cleaned octopus, as well as shrimp and crabs ready to cook. Dazzled, he was a little absent-minded when he was doing his work, and he swallowed hard.
