I became a vicious stepmother and I went to the sea to feed my three children.

"These are all things in the sand, how can they be eaten?"

Gu Zejing frowned. Isn't everything in the sand just sand? How can it be eaten?

When Bai Qingyao heard the noise here, she stopped what she was doing and looked over.

Even Gu Zexuan, who was originally seriously "stealing knowledge", heard the noise and looked over.

Now that their father is gone, the eldest brother is like a father, so he has to take responsibility for his two younger brothers.

"Ajing, Ahuai, what are you doing?"

As the voice fell, he also walked over.

At a glance, I saw the small bulge in front of Gu Zehuai and Gu Zejing.

Gu Zexuan frowned, "Ahuai, what are you doing sitting on the ground?"

The ground is wet. If you sit on it for a long time, your clothes will get wet.

As he spoke, Gu Zexuan took a step forward and was about to pull Gu Zehuai up.

"Ahuai, get up quickly."

Gu Zexuan pulled Gu Zehuai up and raised his hand to clean the sand off his clothes.

Bai Qingyao walked over and saw this scene, "Ah Huai, why are you wet? Are you okay?"

Gu Zehuai shook his head and said he was fine. Then he pointed to the things he had just dug out on the beach.

Bai Qingyao was stunned, and then when her eyes fell on the things piled on the sand, her eyes lit up.

"Ahuai, did you dig all these?"

Hearing Bai Qingyao's somewhat cheerful tone, Gu Zexuan and the other kids immediately looked up and looked at her with some confusion.

Gu Zehuai nodded and said, "Are these... edible?"

He blinked and looked at Bai Qingyao with a hint of caution in his eyes.

Bai Qingyao raised her hand and touched his head. "Of course you can eat it, and it's delicious."

"Our Ah Huai is really amazing. He actually dug up clams."

"clams?"

what is that?

Are they these little patterned things on the ground?

Gu Zexuan looked at the little things on the ground, and Gu Zejing couldn't help but ask, "These are the things buried in the sand? Can they be eaten?"

Bai Qingyao chuckled when she heard this.

"Of course, these things are under the sand, but after they spit out the sand, they can become a delicacy."

Hearing her words, the three little eyes lit up instantly.

That way, they can find these things and won't go hungry.

Seeing what they were thinking, Bai Qingyao immediately said, "You can dig clams here and I'll make soup for you in the evening."

"However, you can only dig here, and you can't go too far."

"it is good."

Hearing that this thing was edible, a smile appeared on Gu Zehuai's little face.

Gu Zejing was a little stunned. He didn't expect that these things could actually be eaten.

After he finished speaking, Gu Zehuai took the small wooden shovel and started digging again.

Hearing that this thing was edible, Gu Zejing and Gu Zexuan also half-knelt down and started digging clams.

Bai Qingyao glanced at them, then returned to the reef with the basket and started prying oysters.

The oysters on the rocks here are indeed large, some are even bigger than her hands, but it is quite difficult to pry them down, and you also have to ensure the integrity of the shells.

For such a large oyster, it would be a waste to just pry out the oyster meat. Such a large oyster can be steamed and eaten.

Steamed oysters and garlic oysters can retain their original freshness without destroying the taste.

'boom--'

Bai Qingyao raised her hammer and slammed it down very quickly. Soon, she pried an oyster off the reef.

Place the oysters in a basket, separated from the raw oysters.

After all, those are raw oyster meats without shells, and if they are put together, it will definitely get dirty.

Although they are wrapped individually with leaves, it is better to keep them separate just in case.

Looking around, the reefs here were covered with oysters. Bai Qingyao slowed down her movements, her eyes fell on the reefs, her gaze blank, not knowing what she was thinking.

It was only when Gu Zexuan ran over and called her that she came to her senses.

"Ah Xuan, what's wrong?"

Hearing her name, Gu Zexuan frowned, but didn't say anything in the end.

"We dug up that. Is that enough?"

Bai Qingyao looked up and saw a pile of clams on the beach.

In just a short while, I didn't expect that these three little ones were so fast and dug out so much.

There are now pits on the beach, filled with water, which were dug by them when they dug clams.

"That's enough. If we have any more, we won't be able to finish it today."

"These things won't last long. We'll dig them up whenever we want to eat them."

"As for these, let's make some more soup tonight and send it to Aunt Jiang and the others. They have helped us a lot, and we can't repay their kindness with hatred and be ungrateful."

Gu Zexuan didn't say anything, but just pursed her lips. Gu Zejing looked at her with his cheeks puffed out, but his disgust for her had dissipated a lot.

As for Gu Zehuai, he pounced on Bai Qingyao the moment he saw her.

"Aniang~"

When several people heard his name, they immediately turned their eyes to him, but Gu Zehuai was unaware and just stared at Bai Qingyao motionlessly.

"Ahuai, you little traitor!"

When Gu Zejing heard his name, he stamped his feet viciously and turned away angrily.

"Ajing." Gu Zexuan glanced at him. Ahuai was young and needed his mother's care, so it was not surprising that he relied on her now.

But... has she really changed for the better?

Looking at Gu Zehuai hugging Bai Qingyao generously, in a place where no one could see, a glimmer of hope flashed in Gu Zexuan's eyes.

I don’t know what my mother’s arms are like.

Hearing Gu Zehuai's address, Bai Qingyao's smile grew even wider.

Turning to look at Gu Zexuan and Gu Zejing, he didn't force it. There was still a long time to go, and they would eventually change their impression of him.

Bai Qingyao collected all the clams on the ground, then pulled up the three little ones. "Okay, we've found enough for today, it's time to go back."

"Ah."

There was still some distance to go from the beach home, and on the way they met some people coming back from the mountains.

Although Dayuan Village is close to the sea and has fishermen, many villagers still go up the mountain to find food.

In their opinion, there is more food in the mountains than in the sea.

Moreover, going out to sea is risky. Although there are ferocious beasts in the mountains, they are not the same as in the sea. After all, if you die at sea, no trace of your body will be left.

After seeing Bai Qingyao, many people subconsciously moved away, but their eyes were still scanning Bai Qingyao.

When did the Gu family become so quiet?

Especially since he has several children from the Gu family with him?

Speaking of which, Bai Qingyao has been a little too quiet these past few days.

Bai Qingyao didn’t know what they were thinking. Now she took the three little ones and went straight back to the Gu family.

After returning, Bai Qingyao put down the backpack and said, "Wait a moment, I'll go cook for you."

When she turned around and entered the kitchen, Gu Zexuan turned around and said, "I'm going to clean up the weeds in the yard. Ah Jing, you take care of Ah Huai first."
