Crossing the famine, I am a poor fish, and my descendants have to work hard

As long as they have those books, the descendants of the Zhang family will be on the list even if they cannot rank among the top in the imperial examinations.

Even if there is a really stupid person, he can still start a business by opening a bookstore at home.

Their family is relatively small in size.

After all, they are the only family members left now.

The younger generation has only 5 children.

The other two are girls.

Zhao Yuanzhen was not discriminating against the little girls, but was calculating the population. After the two little girls got married in the future, there would be fewer people in the mansion.

It seems that Zhang Xinshu will have to have more children in the future!

She was wondering whether she should take her eldest brother and sister-in-law's room into the family.

After thinking about it, I still feel that it is not right.

Although my sister-in-law's temper is not that bad, she has a bad mouth and speaks without restraint, which makes her easily offend people. If she is slandered by someone with ulterior motives, it will bring impact to our family.

But for younger boys like Zihu, they can still be considered.

She remembered that Zihu seemed to have participated in the autumn examination this year. The results had not been announced when she left the capital, so she didn't know the result.

His memory of Zhang Zihu, or the original owner's memory of him as a child, is too deep.

After growing up, I have hardly seen it a few times.

I saw him once last time when I went to the old house to visit Zhang Sandao and Sun Zhang.

He looks polite and courteous.

I'll go back and investigate this time, and if possible, let Zhang Xinshu make the contact and promote him.

The family is not short of money now, what it lacks is heritage and reputation.

The Zhang family has a good reputation in Yangzhou Prefecture, but they have always been very low-key in the capital.

I didn't try to create any reputation deliberately.

It seems I have to be careful when I go back.

While thinking it over in my mind, I secretly wrote down a few important things.

Slowly, it was noon.

The two little guys came running over, hot and thirsty from playing.

"Grandma, I'm so hot. Do you have any ice drinks? I want to drink that."

"Me too, Grandma!"

"Yes, whatever flavor you want to drink, I'll get it for you two!"

Zhao Yuanzhen had fed loyalty pills to everyone in her family, mainly because she was afraid that the little ones wouldn't be careful and might let the cat out of the bag when they went out.

Although the effects of the Loyalty Pill sound rather vicious.

But on the other hand, it can stop your thoughts. Even if you want to speak out unintentionally, you will be stopped.

This improves safety.

"Grandma, I want watermelon juice with ice!"

Zhang Zipei likes this refreshing feeling.

"Grandma, I want lemonade!"

"Okay, Lanying, what do you want to drink?"

"Just give me some lemonade, with a little ice too."

Zhao Yuanzhen bought lemonade and watermelon juice as requested by several people.

Several people were sitting on the recliners, drinking contentedly.

After a few sips of cold drink, I felt refreshed instantly.

"What do you want to eat for lunch?"

Cai Cai hasn't prepared the meal yet, so Zhao Yuanzhen asked a few people for their opinions.

"Grandma, I want to eat that Yunnan cuisine!"

Zhang Ziyou really likes Yunnan cuisine, such as mint fried pork ribs, passion fruit fish, pickled vegetable and red bean soup, fried dried shrimps, etc.

"I like it too, grandma, I want to eat that red three-leaf duck."

Don't be fooled by Zhang Zipei's gentle and shy appearance.

I can eat spicy food.

"Okay, let's eat Yunnan cuisine. Wait a moment, we'll have lunch at noon."

It’s almost 11 o’clock now, the vegetables should be ready.

"Okay, grandma."

"Well, I'll go to the bathroom, you guys can play here."

Zhao Yuanzhen found a secluded place and entered the ring space.

"Cai Cai, let's have Yunnan cuisine for lunch. Make each portion a little smaller and cook a few more dishes!"

"Yes, my queen. Let's make some mushroom soup. I picked some fresh mushrooms from the mountains this morning."

"Okay, Cai Cai, you decide on the arrangements."

After giving the order, Zhao Yuanzhen took the opportunity to launch his own boat, and then started the boat to the beach where they were resting.

When we reached the beach, we dropped the anchor and a small bamboo raft, then we slowly got down to the raft and paddled it to the beach.

"Grandma, that boat is so big, is it our boat?"

"Yes, it's our boat. After dinner, we'll go on the boat to rest for a while and then come back down to play in the afternoon."

"Yeah!"

They chatted for a while and then started eating.

After finishing the delicious Yunnan cuisine, Zhao Yuanzhen first put away the table and tableware.

Then all the lounge chairs, awnings, tarpaulins, etc. on the beach were taken away.

Lan Ying carried the two little ones onto the bamboo raft, and after Zhao Yuanzhen got on the raft, they rowed towards the big boat.

When they reached the boat, Zhao Yuanzhen went up first, and Lan Ying helped hold the two little ones. Zhao Yuanzhen took them over.

Lan Ying fixed the bamboo raft before coming up.

There are still many rooms in the boat.

Zhao Yuanzhen's ship was not originally a cargo ship, but a passenger ship built for comfort.

There are several rooms on the boat, each of which is not only fully furnished but also equipped with a separate bathroom.

To prevent bumps, the furniture on the boat is fixed on the boat.

The two little ones were assigned a room between Zhao Yuanzhen and Lan Ying's rooms.

Although the two little ones are still small, they already sleep by themselves when they are at home.

"Do you two want to sleep with grandma?"

"Grandma, no need, I can do it myself, I'm not afraid."

"Me too, Grandma!"

"Okay, then if you two are scared at night, come find grandma."

"Okay, grandma."

They were a little tired in the morning and the two little ones fell asleep quickly.

Zhao Yuanzhen and Lan Ying also slept for a while.

The two little guys were still playing on the beach in the afternoon. Zhao Yuanzhen planned to go to the sea after catching some fish tomorrow morning.

When the two little guys heard that they were going to go fishing the next morning, they started picking up small crabs, fish, shrimps, etc. on the beach.

I was so excited that I couldn't wait for tomorrow morning to come.

Thinking about getting up early, Zhang Ziyou and Zhang Zipei went to bed early, fearing that they would not be able to get up the next day.

The nights at the seaside are still a bit chilly.

Zhao Yuanzhen was on the deck, gazing quietly into the distance.

The seaside at night has a different kind of scenery.

The sea becomes deep and mysterious.

The waves gently hit the beach, making a low roar. The moonlight shines on the sea, sparkling like a silver mirror, giving people a feeling of tranquility and peace.

The sea breeze gently brushes your cheeks, bringing the breath of the sea. The air is filled with a salty taste, making people feel the vastness and depth of the sea.

Listening to the sound of the waves and feeling the sea breeze makes people feel happy and comfortable.

"Madam, it's cold at night, put on a coat."

Lan Ying brought over a cloak and put it on Zhao Yuanzhen.

"Lan Ying, look at how bright the stars in the sky are!"

Lan Ying looked up. The sky was dotted with stars tonight and was indeed very bright.

"Yes ma'am, the stars are many and bright tonight."

Every time she looked up at the starry sky, Zhao Yuanzhen would think of her previous world.

Not wanting to ruin her rare happy and relaxed mood, Zhao Yuanzhen stopped thinking about it.

He told Lan Ying to go to bed.

"Let's go to bed. We have to get up early tomorrow. Please look after the young master and young lady at night."

I was afraid that the two of them would kick off the quilt, and I was also afraid that they would be scared.

"Well, this servant knows, Madam, don't worry."

Zhao Yuanzhen returned to her room, then went back to the villa, washed up, and came out.

Generally, Zhao Yuanzhen lives in her room unless she is outdoors.

The next day, the two little guys got up very early as expected.

Zhao Yuanzhen ordered some soy milk, steamed dumplings, and some pickles.

After having breakfast, they got off the boat again and went to the beach along the bamboo raft.

It's only about 5 o'clock now, and the sky is just getting bright.

Zhao Yuanzhen took the prepared tools, distributed a set to each person, and started this morning's trip to the beach.

Lan Ying knew how to go fishing, so she and Zhao Yuanzhen each taught a little kid.

Soon, we caught our first catch of the day, a small crab.

There were the most numerous items, including shells, and the two picked up several buckets.

In the morning, the group really gained a lot.

The two little guys were attentive and willing to pick up things, and they basically picked up all kinds of seafood that were washed up on the beach by the waves.

Conches, shells, clams, razor clams, small crabs, shrimps, small sea fish and so on.

I picked up more than a dozen buckets.

Although Zhang Ziyou and Zhang Zipei were very tired, the joy of the harvest was irresistible.

Finally, they decided to have a seafood dinner at noon.

Seafood feasts are easy to cook. Cai Cai washed all the spoils of fishing and made a delicious seafood feast.

There are various cooking methods such as steaming, boiling, frying, pickling and mixing cold dishes.

Several people ate their fill.

After getting on the boat, Zhao Yuanzhen started the boat and let it sail freely towards the deep sea.

After all, there is no destination. As long as it is in the sea, Zhao Yuanzhen doesn't need to care where it sails to.

As long as we don't collide, it's fine.

A system reminder is set.

Just go take a nap.

When I woke up, the ship had sailed very far away and the coastline was basically out of sight.

The two little guys were already awake, chirping on the deck as they looked at the sea.

Huang Rong and Guo Jing were also standing next to them.

From time to time, there would be a few chirping sounds.

Zhao Yuanzhen looked at them and actually had the illusion that they were having a conversation.

There was nothing to do in the afternoon. After the kids had seen the sea, they were no longer so excited and felt a little bored.

Zhao Yuanzhen took out a deck of playing cards and planned to play two of them.

Her plan is to play cards in the afternoon and have barbecue in the evening, the kind that she grills herself.

Tomorrow I will take the two little guys out to fish with the net, and we will go diving again when we have the chance.

Before playing cards, Zhao Yuanzhen asked Cai Cai to prepare the skewers to be grilled in the evening.

Zhao Yuanzhen also prepared the oven and charcoal.

The result of playing cards in the afternoon ended with Zhang Ziyu having his face covered with notes.

"Why do I always lose?"

She grumbled a little unconvinced.

Grandma and Sister Lanying are fine, but why can't I beat this little fool Zhang Zipei!

I am older than him and much smarter than her, so how could I lose?

Zhang Zipei looked at his little sister a little embarrassedly.

The main reason was that the sticker was too ugly, otherwise he could have let his little sister win.
