Chapter 90: It's Like a Mountain of Gold and Silver

"Zhou Chenglei, look at the island in the distance. Is it a little different?" Jiang Xia pulled Zhou Chenglei's sleeve.

Upon hearing this, Zhou's father and Zhou Chenglei looked over.

Father Zhou: "What's the difference?"

Zhou Chenglei: "It seems to have grown a lot bigger. Dad, let's take a boat over there and take a look!"

After Zhou Chenglei said this, Zhou's father also felt that the island seemed to be larger than usual, and immediately drove the boat over, "Don't put out the net yet, go over and take a look."

The island has grown bigger, which means that the part that was originally under water has been exposed, and there might be something valuable there.

Just as it was almost time for lunch, Zhou Chenglei took out his lunch box, opened it and handed it to Jiang Xia: "Eat first."

"it is good."

Jiang Xia called Zhou's father to eat.

Zhou's father responded.

In addition to dried fish, today's meal also includes steamed shrimp eggs and sauerkraut.

Jiang Xia was not picky about food. After he finished eating, there was still half a box left, which he gave all to Zhou Chenglei.

After the three of them finished their meal, the boat approached the island, and Zhou's father found a place to dock.

We didn't dare get too close because ships used to run aground easily in this area.

The sea is still a bit deep, but you can see the sand under the clear water.

Zhou Chenglei jumped off the boat first, and after tying the boat up, he reached out to hug Jiang Xia.

The boat was a little high, so he said to Jiang Xia, "Jump down and I'll catch you."

Zhou's father was right behind him, Jiang Xia was embarrassed: "I can dance by myself."

Zhou Chenglei was standing on the water, which did not reach his thighs: "If you jump down by yourself, your clothes will get wet. It's okay, just jump down, I can catch you."

Father Zhou was holding a bucket of water, waiting behind the two of them with an expressionless face!

Don't worry about him, he died long ago.

Jiang Xia was afraid that Zhou's father would be anxious, so he stopped being pretentious and simply reached out his hand to him and pounced on him.

Zhou Chenglei caught her steadily and held her tightly in his arms. Even though the impact was strong, he did not move his feet.

Jiang Xia once again felt his strong arms and solid, reliable chest.

This man is really powerful!

Zhou Chenglei carried her directly to the beach and put her down.

Father Zhou looked up at the sky expressionlessly.

Zhou Chenglei turned around to take the bucket or something like that handed to him by his father.

After handing over everything, Zhou's father reached out and asked his unfilial son, "Do you want to catch me?"

Zhou Chenglei turned around and left.

His hearing is not good, his father knows that.

Father Zhou was so angry that he gritted his teeth, took off his waterproof rubber shoes, threw them on the beach, then rolled up his trouser legs and jumped off the boat himself.

There was indeed a lot of splashing water and my clothes got wet, but I wasn't afraid in the hot summer.

Father Zhou took a look at Jiang Xia's clothes and there was not a drop of water on them. It turned out that he forgot about his father after he got married!

Zhou Chenglei picked up the bucket his father handed over, walked over to Jiang Xia, and took her hand: "I just saw a lot of oysters on the reef over there, let's go take a look."

"Yeah." Jiang Xia responded.

Zhou's father also put on his shoes and followed. If the oysters were plump enough, they could be worth some money if they were dried and sold.

This isolated island was not big originally, but now it seems to have grown a lot, with many reefs exposed. Zhou Chenglei had been here before.

I don’t know if it’s because of the earthquake or the high ebb tide, but many underwater reefs were exposed.

The three of them came to the reef.

The reefs exposed above the sea are covered with oysters, whose shells are sharp.

And it's a bit steep here.

Zhou Chenglei warned worriedly: "Be careful, don't fall."

"Yeah." Jiang Xia looked at the reef in front of him, it was like seeing a mountain of gold and silver.

Full of the smell of money!

Father Zhou simply pried one open and put it in his mouth.

Zhou Chenglei also pried one open and asked Jiang Xia: "Do you want to try it?"

Jiang Xia is not afraid of eating raw fish or the like, he will eat it raw or pickled, so he nodded.

Zhou Chenglei handed it to her mouth and fed her.

Jiang Xia held his wrist, lowered his head, and sucked the loosened, white, tender, plump oyster meat into his mouth.

Father Zhou originally wanted to eat another one, but when he saw it, he said, “That’s it!”

full!

"Do you want more?" Zhou Chenglei asked as he threw the oyster shell into the sea.

Jiang Xia shook his head.

It is indeed sweeter when eaten raw, and has a light taste of sea water, but she prefers it cooked.

Zhou Chenglei didn't open them for her. He ate two himself, and then the other two started to pry open the oysters.

Zhou Chenglei didn't dare to stay too far away from Jiang Xia, and always stayed beside her, at an arm's length away.

This thing grows on the rock and it takes some effort to pry it off. Jiang Xia was not as skilled as Zhou Chenglei in prying oysters, and he accidentally used too much force, and an oyster flew out and fell into the sea.

Jiang Xia looked down and found a shell lying under the oyster!

It looked just like the pearl shells she had seen in her previous life!

And it’s not just this place, Jiang Xia also saw some in the cracks of the reefs under the water! There are quite a few!

"Zhou Chenglei!" Jiang Xia shouted excitedly.

Both Zhou's father and Zhou Chenglei looked over.

"Zhou Chenglei, look and see if that is a pearl shell."

Zhou Chenglei walked over and looked towards the bottom of the water where Jiang Xia's finger pointed. "It looks like a pearl oyster."

Father Zhou stopped prying the oysters and hurried over. He slipped and almost fell.

He looked and saw pearl shells scattered here and there among the sand on the seabed.

"It's a pearl oyster!"

My god, what kind of shipping is this daughter-in-law?

This is like discovering the nest of pearl oysters!

There had never been such a large reef exposed on this island before. Today, when she came, it was exposed. Otherwise, these pearl shells would not have been discovered.

Jiang Xia said excitedly: "It looks a bit deep, can you pick it up?"

Father Zhou: “Yes!”

As long as you can see it with your naked eyes, you can pick it up.

It's all money!

Do you think it is possible?

You have to be able to do it even if you can’t!

Who would see money dropped on the ground and not pick it up?

Zhou Chenglei: "I'll go pick it up."

Father Zhou: “Together!”

The pearl oysters were just under the water. After Zhou Chenglei and his father did some warm-up exercises, they took off their shirts, took their tools, and carefully went into the water, avoiding the reefs.

Jiang Xia leaned over to take a look, and saw that Zhou's father and Zhou Chenglei were swimming towards the bottom of the water, hooking the pearl oysters into the net bag one by one, as nimble as two fish.

Jiang Xia can swim, and she seems to be eager to try. She remembers meeting Wu Qizhi at the market last time, and he said he knew she can swim, so the original owner can also swim, right?

But just as she was about to go into the water, the two men swam out of the water. Jiang Xia quickly took a bucket to catch the pearl shells they had picked up.

Zhou Chenglei picked up more, ten in total, while Zhou's father only picked up five.

After they poured out the pearl shells, they took a breath and went back into the water.

Jiang Xia poured the pearl shells in the bucket into the snakeskin bag and left an empty bucket there for them to store the pearl shells.

She didn't waste any time and continued to pry open the oysters.

The father and son went into the water four or five times. Zhou's father couldn't stand it anymore and went ashore to rest.

Zhou Chenglei rested for a while and then went into the water again. He went into the water twice before he picked up all the pearl shells on the seabed.

Zhou Chenglei also went ashore to rest: "There should be more nearby, I will go down to check later. Dad, don't go into the water."

Father Zhou nodded: "You go down! I won't go down. I can't stand it anymore. It's not like when I was young."

Zhou Chenglei took a rest and went into the water again.

Father Zhou couldn't sit still. He went out to sea not to rest but to make money. He said to Jiang Xia, "Xiao Xia, I'm going to trawle the nets and will be back soon. You and A Lei stay here."

Jiang Xia nodded: "Okay."

Zhou Chenglei just came up, and Zhou's father repeated what he had just said.

Zhou Chenglei: "Be careful."

Father Zhou: “I know.”

After Zhou's father left, Zhou Chenglei said to Jiang Xia, "I'll walk around the reef to see if there are any more. You stay here, be careful."

"it is good."

This time Zhou Chenglei did not jump into the water, but walked forward groping along the reefs, looking to see if there was anything in the water as he walked.

If he couldn't see clearly, he would jump into the water and swam down to have a look. If he saw a good fish on the seabed, he would catch it. This delayed him for a while.

Jiang Xia waited for a long time but didn't hear any movement from him. She was worried and went over to him: "Zhou Chenglei! Zhou Chenglei!"

Jiang Xia shouted as he carefully groped his way forward along the reef.

Zhou Chenglei was on the other side of the island, catching lobsters on the seabed. His hearing was poor and they were underwater, so he couldn't hear anything.

When he surfaced to take a breath, Jiang Xia stopped shouting.

Jiang Xia shouted around but no one responded. She became anxious. After all, anything could happen underwater, so she jumped directly into the sea!
