Time Travel: A Fisherwoman Goes to the Sea to Raise a Baby

Xu Yiyi had no idea that Grandma Xu, whom she hadn't contacted for a long time, was actually thinking about her money.

But even if she knew, she wouldn't care much. She was just looking for an opportunity to completely cut off contact with that side.

Otherwise, we would have to send some gifts to him during festivals for the sake of my uncle.

The relationship cannot be severed.

When the children grow up, other disputes may arise.

……

"Sister, can I go out with you?"

Er'er's eyes were full of anticipation. When her elder sister was her age, she was much more capable than her.

Although she is not as good as her elder sister, she does not want to put all the burden of the family on her elder sister.

Xu Yiyi thought about it and decided not to refuse, so she took Wu Yuan to Aunt Li.

Sihai followed A Yue to the east side of the island to shoot arrows.

It's not easy to come back so quickly.

Xu Yiyi and Er'er sorted out the fishing nets and got on the boat with all kinds of fishing tools.

Generally speaking, very few people go out to sea in the afternoon because the wind direction at sea has changed.

The wind and waves in the afternoon will be stronger than those in the morning, so small boat trips tend to depart in the morning and return in the afternoon following the wind and waves.

After casting the net all the way back, the day's fishing operation is over.

If Xu Yiyi didn’t set up the stall in the morning, he would also choose to go out to sea in the morning.

She tied one end of the rope to the boat and the other end to Er'er.

The two sisters rowed out in the boat.

Er'er's face was full of curiosity and anticipation.

The boat drifted slowly against the wind and waves, heading towards the route the tribesmen took when they went out to sea.

Xu Yiyi aimed at the school of fish and threw the fishing net down.

Now her posture and movements when throwing the net are very standard.

Once the fishing net is cast, there will basically be no empty catches.

I guess it’s about the same time.

Xu Yiyi hung the rope of the fishing net on the mast, and the two sisters used the force to pull the fishing net up.

The pulled-up fishing net was like a small mountain, and the catch was piled up casually on the boat.

The boat of the two was small, and Xu Yiyi usually prepared to stop after making two moves online.

Xu Yiyi stuffed the last net into Er'er's hands.

Er'er stood on the boat, his eyes full of curiosity and anticipation, but also a bit of nervousness.

Then he looked at the school of fish and threw the fishing net with force. The fishing net spread out in the air and fell into the sea like a huge flying bird.

The fishing net was thrown out, and he turned around instantly to look at his elder sister excitedly.

Xu Yiyi patted her little head. It was much better than her first time going out to sea.

Er'er counted a hundred in his mind and couldn't wait to pull up the fishing net.

The net wasn't empty, but there wasn't anything either.

A small bag of shrimps and crabs, and two sea snakes.

Er'er was shocked when she saw it. The two sisters each grabbed one and threw it back into the sea.

Seeing the gloomy look on the little girl's face, he quickly praised her.

"Not bad, not bad. It's much better than your first time out at sea. Back then, I went out to sea alone and didn't know anything. The fishing nets came back the same way they went down, and there weren't even any shrimps or crabs left."

Xu Yiyi picked out everything from the fishing net.

"There are lots of small shrimps and crabs today, so we don't have to go to the beach to pick them up. We can make some shrimp and crab paste at home. The paste can be used to mix with noodles, fried rice, pan-fried pork belly, or stewed tofu. You can make whatever you like. These are all caught by you."

The shrimp paste in our house was sent by Aunt Li, and only half a jar is left.

Xu Yiyi doesn't know how to cook, and Aunt Li sincerely wants to teach her, but it's difficult to find suitable people.

After putting it aside for a while, I was busy setting up my stall and didn’t think about it anymore.

Er'er's favorite dishes are noodles with crab paste and pork belly fried with shrimp paste. She didn't tell them about it before because Zhan Jilan thought the smell was too strong and didn't allow them to learn it.

Because the smell is so strong when brewing, it can fill the whole house with the smell.

Er'er became happy again when he heard it.

After tidying up the fishing net, I cast another net. This time, the net was heavy when I pulled it up.

It feels heavy in the hand.

The two were having sex, and when the fishing net was pulled up, they found a small turtle with a fish in its mouth, which was caught by Er'er.

Er'er touched the turtle's shell curiously and muttered something.

It was probably something like asking the turtle to bless them.

Then he generously fed the turtle a few sea fish before pushing it back into the sea.

In the minds of people living by the sea, turtles are a symbol of luck. Er'er encountered one and even touched one the first time he went out to sea.

We were all happy on the way back.

The two of them took a detour to cut kelp near the reef.

The sea breeze was salty and bitter, and the two men had a thick hemp rope tied around their waists.

Barefoot, standing firmly in the knee-deep sea water.

His eyes were fixed on the kelp swaying with the waves, like dark green silk ribbons, stretching out in the gentle embrace of the sea water.

The two men held the short blades and bent down slightly, bringing the blades close to the roots of the kelp. They raised their hands and slashed with the blades in a skillful and neat manner.

These are things he's used to doing. When he was a child, Zhan Jilan was unreliable.

At that time, Xu Yiyi took Er'er out to cut kelp, go to the sea, and pick seaweed.

The separated kelp slowly floated up, tender and fresh. Xu Yiyi took advantage of the situation and gently embraced them with his arms, then piled them neatly on the boat.

Soon it was piled up as high as a hill.

There was actually very little dried kelp, so the two continued cutting for a while before returning home.

The shrimps and crabs that Er Er caught could fill a whole wooden bucket, and the little girl carried them back happily.

Xu Yiyi picked and chose what to eat at home and what to sell at the night stall.

Xu Anyang helped deliver the rest to some orphans and widows in the clan.

When passing by Agui's house, he was sweeping the floor with his sister.

The two children are now living in their eldest uncle's wife's house and often come here on weekdays.

Aunt Cui has taken good care of the house and plans to let her child move back when Agui grows up and starts a family.

"Sister Yi Yi."

The tiny kid was standing in the yard holding a broom as tall as an adult. When he saw her, he shouted crisply.

"Come and get some fish, some for you and your younger sister. Take them back and have your aunt cook them for you."

Agui's uncle and cousin went out to sea on Xu Pinghai's boat.

I haven't been home for a few days. These days, all I eat at home are the shrimps and crabs I picked up from the sea, or the small fish sent by my uncle.

Xu Yiyi specially left five big fish for them, which had few bones and tender meat, suitable for children to eat.

Agui thanked Xu Yiyi generously and said that he would send fish to Xu Yiyi when he grew up.

After delivering all the fish on the boat, Xu Yiyi returned to his home courtyard.

Draw up well water and put the kelp into the bucket to wash it again.

When it returned to the river, the mud and impurities on the surface of the kelp had been washed away.

After coming back to the water, the kelp that originally had the fishy smell of sea water gradually exuded a fresh scent.

Then hang the kelp on the clothesline in the yard,

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the kelp, creating patches of light and shadow.
