Quickly wear a life of peace

"Mr. Song, you are too polite. Doctor Zhou, would you like to come too?" Village Chief Li looked at Imperial Physician Zhou with eager eyes and was very enthusiastic towards both the Song and Zhou families.

"Thank you, Village Chief Li!" Imperial Physician Zhou also bowed to Village Chief Li.

Led by Village Chief Li, the two families came to the center of the village.

This place is much farther from the sea, and the overall structure of the house looks more stable.

According to Village Chief Li, the houses here were built recently and are very sturdy, so they should have no problem withstanding typhoons.

After thanking the village chief, the two families chose two adjacent houses and bought them.

Village chief Li issued the deed to them on the spot.

The two families thanked the village chief and gave him some small gifts. Village chief Li then said goodbye tactfully, "You guys go ahead and do your work. My home is the first one at the entrance of the village. If you have any questions, come and see me."

After the village chief left, the two families quickly began to clean the house inside and out and arranged the things they brought.

Although Song Qingning is not a child anymore and can do some work, the Song family has servants and has no use for her.

Song Qingning took the maltose he bought in the city and planned to find the children in the village to inquire about the situation in the village.

As a result, after walking for a long time, I didn't meet anyone in the village.

It was not until she reached the edge of the village that she saw a few people mending fishing nets in the distance.

It seems that the people who stayed in the village are indeed not rich.

I had been planning to go out for a while, but was afraid that my family would worry, so I was planning to go back.

But I happened to see a little girl about ten years old, leading a little boy of four or five years old walking towards me.

He was holding a wooden bucket in his hand, obviously he had just returned from the beach with some fishing.

Song Qingning stopped and wanted to ask the girl about the situation.

When the others approached, the two looked at Song Qingning curiously, and Song Qingning smiled at them, "Hello, um, Song just came here today, so you can also call me Song Qingning."

The older girl seemed a little shy seeing a stranger.

Two blushes could be seen on his dark face. "Hello, my name is A-Man, and this is my brother A-Lin."

The little boy shyly hid behind his sister, then curiously stuck his head out and looked at Song Qingning with his big eyes.

Although these two children could not be said to be pretty, Song Qingning found them adorable.

He took out the candy he brought, handed it to the two of them, and said with a smile, "Then we are good friends! Please have some candy."

A-Man waved his hands repeatedly and refused, "No, no, no, this is too expensive, you don't have to give it to us."

The little girl's face turned even redder. When Alin first heard it was candy, his eyes lit up. But after hearing his sister's refusal, he lowered his head in disappointment, like a pitiful kitten.

Song Qingning stuffed the candy directly into the hands of the two people, "It's not expensive. I have something to ask you. If you don't accept it, I will be embarrassed to ask you for help."

Ah Man accepted it with embarrassment, patted his chest and said, "Just tell me if you have any problem, I will definitely help if I can."

Hey, you are still a thoughtful girl. She helps when she can, and doesn’t help when she can’t. Isn’t it up to her to decide whether she can help or not?

This is good. People who are too innocent will not have a good ending.

The two of them started chatting naturally, and Song Qingning also roughly understood the situation in the village.

There is a big boat in the village, which belongs to the village chief. Other families in the village only have small boats.

Therefore, most able-bodied men in the village would go on board the village chief's boat to earn some money when he went out on the boat. It was safer than fishing by themselves in a small boat, and they could earn more money.

The village chief's boat has been out for a day now. Although their boat is called a big boat, with current technology, it is not very big and cannot go too far.

The fishing boats will be back tonight, and fishmongers from the town will come to pick out the fish.

After they have finished picking, the village chief's family will take the remaining small fish or bad fish to the town to sell.

This is how most people in the village live.

Song Qingning saw a bucket of clams, conchs, oysters, crabs in Aman's bucket...

I suddenly feel a little greedy. I haven’t eaten for a long time.

So I asked, "Aman, is it easy to pick up these things at the beach now? I want to pick some to eat, too."

Ah Man nodded, "Yes, the tide is receding now, there are a lot of them."

As he spoke, he also kindly pointed out the direction to Song Qingning, telling her where there were more and where it would be easier to pick up the bounties.

At this time, they also arrived at the Song family, and the three of them said goodbye.

"Qingning, where did you go just now? Who were you talking to?" Jia's caring voice came from inside the door.

Song Qingning hurried in to greet her, "Grandma, it's a girl from the village. I'm asking her for information."

Jia chuckled and looked at her lovingly, "Really? What did you find out?"

Song Qingning told Jia about the news he had just heard from Aman.

She even acted coquettishly towards Jia, "Grandma, I think those things are quite interesting, and I want to pick them up, too. Is that okay?"

Jia thought that since she had just arrived here, she should adapt to the local customs and try something new, so she nodded in agreement.

"Call your second and third brothers, and bring Meixiang with you. Don't go into the water, do you hear me?"

When Song Qingning heard that they could go to the beach, she hurriedly agreed. Fearing that her grandmother would go back on her word, she quickly called her two brothers and the maid Meixiang, and they set off with buckets and shovels.

It was not yet dark, and on the beach outside the village, the women in the village who could not go out to sea were still mending their fishing nets.

The two brothers were men, so it was not convenient for them to have too much contact with each other, so they avoided them and went far away in another direction.

The vast ocean has turbulent waves.

On the beach after the tide receded, cat's eye snails, crabs, clams, and more were nesting in the sand...

It seemed that none of them had ever seen the sea and didn't recognize these seafoods. Song Jihong and Song Jichang had also been concentrating on their studies and had never gone out to play.

But Song Qingning used the excuse that he had learned it from Aman, so it was natural for him to command a few people.

After teaching them how to dig for a while, Song Qingning concentrated on pinching cat's eye snails. This thing is very fun, and you must pinch it when you come to the beach, it is very relaxing.

When the Song Jihong brothers saw this, they started to learn it too. They became addicted to playing with it and went around looking for cat's-eye snails to play with.

Seeing that they were having so much fun, Song Qingning stopped competing with them and started to concentrate on looking for small seafood.

There was no one else in the area where they came from, and they soon filled a bucket.

There is mainly a big jellyfish that takes up quite a bit of space, and a long piece of kelp.

Tonight's dinner is steamed seafood. I was afraid that everyone would not be full, so I cooked some porridge as the staple food.

Fortunately, except for Meixiang's family, everyone had eaten seafood before, but they were all processed dried goods.

So apart from my pregnant sister-in-law, Ms. Sun, no one else was unable to eat seafood or had allergies. We also sent some food to the Zhou family next door.
