In my 40s, the trading system took me flying

On the third day, Xu Xiaoya did not go out with Xiao Zhao, but was taken out by Lao Wang.

Comrade Xiao Zhao is a lesbian after all, so there are some places that he is not suitable to get close to, but it is different for Lao Wang.

Xu Xiaoya was too young, so when she changed into boy's clothes and was held by Lao Wang, disguised as his little son, it didn't look out of place at all.

Lao Wang took Xu Xiaoya to many places, all of which were high-end places, and also near the Japanese base, where he could even walk in.

It was not until this time that Xu Xiaoya realized that Lao Wang's official identity was actually a barber, and he served not ordinary people, but those with status.

Although the Japanese soldiers were afraid of death, they were also men, and men always had to face the problems of trimming beards, shaving, and cutting hair.

They don't trust others, but they trust Lao Wang.

Xu Xiaoya was stunned. If she didn't know Lao Wang's underground identity, she would have suspected that he was a traitor.

Sure enough, anyone who can become the person in charge of underground liaison is not an ordinary person.

Xu Xiaoya helped pass towels to the Japanese devils' place, running around with the people inside. The system had scanned all the places.

When Lao Wang saw Xu Xiaoya making a gesture to him, he bent down and helped a Japanese soldier shave his head before leaving.

After going out, Lao Wang asked Xu Xiaoya how much she had seen.

"all!"

Xu Xiaoya was very proud.

Lao Wang was very excited.

You know, they have always wanted to figure out the layout of the Japanese base, but because the guards were too strict, they had no chance. Even though he came in twice, there were people watching him and he didn't dare to look around or run around. But now a little girl has done it.

After returning to her residence, Xu Xiaoya started drawing.

When the floor plan of the entire Japanese base came out, Lao Wang was so excited that he needed to take medicine.

"Xiaoya, you are so amazing!"

Lao Wang asked Xu Xiaoya what she wanted, and Xu Xiaoya said directly: "I want to go fishing!"

In her previous life, every time she went to the beach, her view was filled with tourists, and going to the beach was just a formality, so that whenever she heard about the beach, she wanted to go there.

Old Wang was stunned, then laughed. He thought the little girl liked something extraordinary, but it turned out to be seafood.

Comrade Xiao Zhao next to him glanced at the calendar and said, "Tomorrow is a high tide day. My hometown is in a small fishing village by the sea. After dinner, I will take her and her aunt to stay at my house. Tomorrow morning, I will take them to the beach to catch fish!"

Xu Xiaoya excitedly began to ask if she could catch crabs or large conchs by going to the beach.

Only then did he realize that the child looked like a four-year-old baby, and Old Wang couldn't help laughing.

Maybe only children are carefree and don’t know how difficult life is nowadays.

Going to the beach is a way of life for people living by the sea, but it is a reward for children.

Old Mrs. Xu had never been to the beach, so she was naturally quite looking forward to it.

After dinner, Hu Yaqin also came back. When she heard that Xiao Ya was going to the beach with Xiao Zhao, she wanted to follow them too.

Despite her anticipation for the sea, Xu Xiaoya was disappointed after seeing the real sea-hunting.

She thought that going to the beach would mean beaches, waves, and seafood everywhere, but what she actually saw was reefs, mud, and dead fish and rotten shrimps everywhere.

"That's it?"

Xu Xiaoya was speechless, while Comrade Xiao Zhao burst into laughter.

She knew Xu Xiaoya would be disappointed.

If she hadn't lived by the sea since she was a child, she wouldn't really want to participate in activities like sea catching.

Although the sea brings many gifts, they are not safe or beautiful, and often bring many dangers.

Fortunately, it was a high tide this time, and although it didn't look very good, there were still many good things brought up from the deep sea area by the waves.

Some deep-sea fish and shrimp are trapped by the reefs and need them to catch them.

Although Xu Xiaoya was disappointed at first, all the crabs disappeared when she caught a big crab.

She even discovered that the system could mark the locations of some valuable seafood, which was like a cheat, making her more and more excited.

When the small bucket she was carrying was full and she poured the oysters into the big bucket, she went to catch more oysters. Because she was small and weak, she simply directed Xiao Zhao and Hu Yaqin to do it together, and only let Old Lady Xu crack the oysters in the back.

The oysters on the reef are so fat that they don’t need to be processed anymore. They can be eaten directly after opening. The fresh and sweet taste is enough to make Xu Xiaoya addicted. This is the freshest and most authentic taste.

Only when a fisherman shouted that the tide was high did they return to the shore carrying two large buckets full of things.

Many fishermen passing by were shocked at their good luck.

Xiao Zhao also sighed: "I have never been so relaxed and lucky as I am today in my entire life!"

Xu Xiaoya would never say that she has a cheat device.

What's more, she took advantage of the cover of the sea water and threw a lot of things into the space.

She also wants to take it back for her family to try.

Some of them could be traded directly, so she exchanged them for good things. Anyway, the more things in the space, the better.

Seafood is always best steamed or boiled.

Xu Xiaoya ate until her belly was full. If she hadn’t been unable to eat any more, she would have been able to eat more.

Xiao Zhao was afraid that she would get an upset stomach.

Perhaps this is because they can forget that it is still a time of war and are simply happy for the sake of having a full meal.

"Aunt Zhao, you're so lucky to live by the sea. You can eat seafood every day. It's hard to find it over here. At most, there's some dried kelp and dried shrimp that people sell!"

Xu Xiaoya was genuinely envious, but Xiao Zhao said, "Do you think everyone is as lucky as you? We fishermen have to pay taxes and hand over a sufficient amount of seafood every month, otherwise we'll be caught. And today's catch is just a stroke of luck. Even if we caught valuable seafood normally, we'd sell it to the merchants to make money to supplement our family income!"

There is no shortage of rotten fish and shrimps on the seaside, but people cannot eat only these, they still need food, and the price of food here is very expensive.

With so many people in every household, fishermen always have a fishy smell on them, which leads to them being looked down upon. What's more, the mortality rate of fishing at sea is very high.

Now that the Japanese have come here to fight again, life has become even harder for the fishermen. All the fishing boats have been requisitioned, and the fishermen can only use some small boats to fish in the shallow waters. There is no way they can catch any big cargo.

Times are so difficult.

Otherwise, why would they kill the Japanese and start a revolution?

Who wouldn't do that because they have no other way to survive?

Xu Xiaoya fell into deep thought. It turned out that what she thought was beautiful was not really beautiful.

Hu Yaqin patted Xu Xiaoya's head and said, "Don't worry, Xiaoya. Sooner or later, we will drive the Japanese away. By then, Xiaoya can continue to eat seafood like today!"

Xu Xiaoya clenched her fists: "Well, in eight years at most we can beat the Japanese away!"

Xiao Zhao said cheerfully, "Then I'll borrow Xiaoya's good wishes!"

In fact, they have no idea when they will be able to drive away the powerful invaders, but they are ready to sacrifice at any time. The resistance of generations will be completed one day.
