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

The stall is open as usual in the evening.

She doesn't like to laugh, but Xu Anyang likes to grin with his big teeth showing.

Sanchuan and Sihai were flitting around the stall like little bees. They were fair-skinned, well-behaved and had sweet mouths.

Despite his young age, he has a good relationship with many diners.

"Will you participate in the competition on the 15th?"

The diners sitting at the table drank some wine and watched Sihai wiggling his little butt as he energetically cleared away the plates left by the other table's guests.

Hearing this, he turned around.

She nodded very proudly, although she was still a little afraid of water, but she had been forced to practice with her uncle for so long.

Finally, my movements have become more standardized and my speed has increased.

Uncle made an exception and praised him, which made Sihai proud for several days.

"Not bad, not bad. Your name is Sihai, right? Uncle will bet on you later. You better do your best and make some money for Uncle."

A group of people at the table were playing with the children.

If it were other children, they would definitely take it seriously.

Sihai shook his head seriously.

"I'm very capable, but I'm only better than my previous self. I can't even compare to others, so how can I help you make money?"

Sihai scratched his little head, his big cute eyes filled with confusion.

"How can I help?"

His short body took a step closer and looked curiously at the person sitting at the table.

"How can I help? If you're participating in a speed competition, swim faster. If you're competing in a skill competition, try some new and unusual moves. If you're holding your breath, hold it longer."

Every year during the competition, many people place bets on their favorite contestants, and if they win, they can make a lot of money.

When Sihai heard this, he shook his head again.

"You should find someone else. I'm still a little bit strong now."

Sihai is not blindly confident. Although the child is small, he sometimes shows an inexplicable maturity.

I have been swimming around the world for so long, but I have only ever compared myself with myself, my past self and my future self.

He doesn't care that much about others.

The group of people were laughing so hard that they couldn't stop. As they talked about this, they became even more eager to bet on Sihai.

It’s nothing, I just think it’s fun.

After hearing what those people said, Xu Yiyi had other ideas in his mind.

"Can Anyang place this bet on himself?"

Xu Yiyi thought that no one could beat her in the breath-holding event she participated in.

If she could place a bet, wouldn't she be able to make some money if she placed a bet on herself?

"Sure. My great-grandfather has already said that if anyone in the clan has any ideas, they can place a bet on you. You must take back the first place in holding your breath."

For this purpose, Xu Anyang borrowed two taels of silver from his elder sister Xu Honglian and put all the money on Xu Yiyi.

Xu Yiyi was secretly delighted.

"But the government has regulations that each person cannot receive more than five taels of silver."

Xu Anyang had no money, so he had to borrow from his elder sister.

When Xu Yiyi heard this, her passion instantly disappeared.

I thought I could take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.

……

As the competition approaches, the pressure is growing.

The training time was also longer than before. Xu Yiyi swam two laps in the river and then went ashore to the town.

The grain shop received its goods today, and the grain that Xu Yiyi wanted was also packed out.

Several uncles from the clan stood at the door and carried the food to the dock in no time.

Including the fine flour and rice that Xu Yiyi bought for her family.

"You have to put this thing away carefully when you bring it back. Don't let those with bad intentions see it, or they'll always be thinking about your home."

One of the uncles held the bag of grain and spoke to Xu Yiyi carefully and seriously.

When the boat returned to the river, the uncle and another uncle took the lead in carrying Xu Yiyi's belongings back.

The remaining two uncles moved the food from the boat that was to be sent to the tribe.

"A Shui, have you made a fortune? What did you buy? All those bags?"

……

"That's right, look how tired you are. This must be so heavy!"

Uncle Great-grandfather asked Xu Anyang to call people, and he came over with a cart.

Everyone then realized that this should be something from the clan.

"Yi Yi, now that you are able, please send some food to our clan. Hurry back and take the bags to the ancestral hall to distribute the food."

The uncle shouted, and the aunts and uncles who were processing the fish in the river stopped what they were doing.

"Is it really food?"

……

"Is this a joke?"

My uncle watched the grain being loaded onto the cart and pushed away, then he said, "Believe it or not," and slowly walked away.

The news spread quickly. In a short while, all sixty-seven households in the clan gathered at the ancestral hall.

Grandma Xu squeezed to the front of the crowd with the bag.

"What are you doing? The clan leader said every household will have a share."

An old lady was pushed and almost fell down, and said something in a bad mood.

When I turned around, I saw it was Grandma Xu. The expression on her face was as ugly as if she had eaten a sour fruit.

"I have the final say on the food my granddaughter buys."

Grandma Xu was so anxious!

There are 300 kilograms of rice and flour in total, enough for the family to eat for a whole year.

If I share this, I will lose a lot of money.

"You're not right. Yiyi is your granddaughter, but the family has been separated. As a grandmother, you can't control that much."

When others saw this, they retorted that Grandma Xu was not good to Xu Yiyi and the others, and everyone in the clan could see it.

Now that she saw Xu Yiyi had become successful, she remembered that she was her grandmother.

You come here to ask for benefits, but no good things will come from them.

No matter what, Grandma Xu is the grandmother of Xu Yiyi and her four siblings. This is an indisputable fact.

He squeezed through the crowd and came to the center.

Xu Yiyi hugged Wuyuan, Erer, Sanchuan and Sihai were all there.

"Is everyone here?"

Xu Pinghai nodded.

"Now that everyone is here, I'll say a few words. The five siblings are sensible. After the Yin Li ceremony, they felt that they had been taken care of by the tribe for a long time and were very grateful. The little girl took her brothers and sisters to the stall early in the morning and late at night to earn a little money, so she hurriedly bought food for the tribe to thank everyone.

I won’t say too much, it’s a good thing for people of the same clan to help each other, and we must continue to do so in the future…”

The main purpose of the uncle's long speech was to tell the clan members not to always think about the little money in Xu Yiyi's pocket.

When it was time to distribute food, according to clan rules, orphans and widows were to receive an extra portion.

But when it was Grandma Xu's turn, she was not happy.

"Anyang, what you gave me is not right! I am Yi Yi's biological grandmother, shouldn't I get more? You only gave me one portion."

Grandma Xu put away the rice and flour she had received and prepared to start the fun.

"Ah—I really gave it to you by mistake. Please give it back to me. You ignored Sister Yiyi and the others and still wanted to eat the food she bought. How can such a good thing happen?"

It's ironic to say that everyone present had once extended a helping hand and provided assistance to Xu Yiyi and her brother.

Except for my dear grandma Xu.
