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

Xu Anyang covered his butt with one hand and covered his butt with the other, and followed his grandfather back with a wronged look on his face.

The next moment, she was hit with a stick again. "I say, can you be a little more considerate? How is your sister going to get all these things back?"

"Oh."

He raised his crutch and scared Xu Anyang again before leaving.

Xu Yiyi happily carried the things back, as if she had a great harvest.

When I got home and saw the black sea bream in the pond, I was a little confused.

"I picked up this fish, big sister. It was so big and lying in a small hole in the water. It was still eating grass when I caught it."

Er'er talked happily to her elder sister.

Holding the spatula in his hand, he looked so proud.

Wu Yuan was lying on a bamboo mat. When he saw his elder sister coming back, he turned over and lay down with his head held high.

“Ah…ah!”

Xu Yiyi put down the wooden barrel, washed his hands, squatted in front of the child, touched his little face, and made the child laugh.

"Where's Sihai?"

The yard was so quiet that I knew that little brat Sihai was not at home.

"He went out with Ah Yue. Ah Gui heard we wanted shells, so he picked up a lot and left them on the beach, and told them to go get them."

Speak of the devil, and he will appear. Sihai filled his bag with shells and ran towards home dancing with joy.

"Big sister...big sister, look, there are so many shells. They were all picked up by Gui."

Sihai put the bag on the ground, and the sound of shells colliding could be heard, tinkling.

"Thank you, Agui?"

Sihai washed his little hands and nodded obediently.

"Thank you. I'll ask him to come over for dinner tonight."

When the third brother left home in the morning, he had already agreed to invite Agui to dinner at home when he came back from school in the afternoon. He just mentioned it in passing.

"Fat brother~" Sihai said in a long baby voice.

"Brother is here to hold you."

Sihai kicked off his cloth shoes as he walked, threw himself directly onto the bamboo mat, hugged Wuyuan and kissed him until he screamed.

"Si Hai, don't be so hard when you kiss your brother. Look at his blushing face."

The child's face was very tender, and marks immediately left after Sihai kissed him a few times.

Wu Yuan made a bitter face and stretched out his hand to Xu Yiyi for help.

"Okay, okay! I'll be careful kissing you."

Like a dragonfly skimming the water, Sihai's mouth touched Wuyuan's forehead.

Wu Yuan then struggled less fiercely.

Xu Yiyi rolled up his sleeves and poured a bucket of crabs into a large wooden basin, then took a brush and started brushing the crabs.

Xu Anyang ran back and forth several times before he brought all her things back.

"You don't know, Sister Yiyi, when your grandma saw me carrying things off your boat, her eyes lit up, but she only looked at me for a moment before she left."

Xu Anyang shook his head in confusion, "Look at her like that, she must have been beaten by my uncle again."

After a beating, she would be quiet for a while. That’s the kind of person Xu A-nai is.

Xu Yiyi thought about how angry Grandpa Xu was in the morning, and he must have beaten her even harder than before.

Otherwise, how could I not take her things if I could get them?

"Don't worry about her. Take some crabs home and steam them."

Xu Yiyi picked out a small bag of crabs for Xu Anyang and stuffed it into his hand.

"Don't forget to come over for dinner tonight, and let my grandmother come too."

Xu Yiyi particularly mentioned her uncle's grandmother. This old lady was kind by nature and was particularly afraid of troubling others.

He felt very embarrassed to invite her to his house for dinner, and she didn't think about how dedicated he was every day in coming here to boil water for Xu Yiyi and the others, and helping Xu Yiyi with the vegetable garden.

……

"Don't worry! Even if grandma doesn't come, I can carry him here."

Xu Anyang waved and left.

"Big sister, can you cook a lot of delicious food for my birthday?"

Sihai crawled to the edge of the bamboo mat and looked at Xu Yiyi with anticipation.

Before Sanchuan, all the children in this family had never celebrated their birthdays.

Seeing his elder sister preparing so carefully, Sihai also looks forward to his own birthday.

Xu Yiyi thought about it and realized that Sihai’s birthday was in September.

"Of course you can. Just tell me what you want to eat and I'll make it for you."

"Great! I have a birthday too."

Sihai raised his chubby little hands and shouted in the yard.

When Er'er heard this, he ran out again with a spatula in his hand.

"Miss!"

"Okay, okay, I'll let you go."

Xu Yiyi nodded perfunctorily. Just now, she was almost pinched by a crab while talking to Sihai.

"Thank you, sis!"

Er'er ran over and stuck close to Xu Yiyi.

There was a lot of noise in the yard, and Wu Yuan was stunned.

After lunch, Xu Yiyi coaxed the children to sleep and rowed the boat to the town.

I bought ground glutinous rice and japonica rice, went to several shops to find danqu powder, and bought prepared sweet bean paste and apricots at the dock.

After careful selection, I bought an old duck and an old hen.

"Auntie, give me some tofu."

The aunt selling tofu fell asleep on the stool and woke up slowly when she heard Xu Yiyi's voice.

"Why didn't I see you setting up your stall this morning? Your stall was empty and almost got taken over by someone else. Luckily, your regular customers left, otherwise it would have been a waste for someone else to use it."

Auntie put the cut tofu into Xu Yiyi's basket.

Talking about what happened in the morning.

All the stalls at the docks charge rent.

After all, there are a lot of customers here. If we don't collect rent, more people will come here to set up stalls, and it will be chaotic when there are too many people.

Some families are unwilling to pay the rent, so they carry their goods and walk around the streets selling them.

When Xu Yiyi didn't show up after a certain time in the morning, someone immediately put the things up.

One advantage of a fixed stall is that you don’t have to walk around.

In the morning, the father and son thought they had gotten a good deal, but they were driven away as soon as they put the things up.

"I have something to do this morning. I'll set up the stall tomorrow morning."

The diners all know that the night stalls only close for one day every two days.

The morning stalls are basically open except on rainy days.

Some people are still thinking about them because they didn't come in the morning.

Xu Yiyi chatted with the tofu seller for a few words, then went to buy two pounds of pork belly and one pound of pork ribs.

When I got home, I was busy making birthday peaches for Sanchuan.

Mix glutinous rice flour and japonica rice flour with water and goat milk, steam in a steamer for a quarter of an hour, then coat with sweet bean paste and apricots and knead into the shape of a peach.

Then mix the danqu powder with water and dye the shoulders of the longevity peach red, like the color of a ripe peach.

She was more direct and went to the tree outside to pick a handful of leaves and put them in the pot.

Put the prepared longevity peach embryos in a steamer and steam them for a while, then the sweet and milky longevity peaches can be taken out of the pot.

Er'er heard the noise in the kitchen and looked at it curiously.

"What is this, sis?"

The look in his eyes when he looked at Xu Yiyi was sparkling, like a kitten wagging its tail.

"Longevity peaches, when you turn fourteen, I'll make fourteen of them for you."

I can’t make a cake, but longevity peaches are indeed simple.

"Then teach me, big sister. When it's your birthday, I'll make you birthday peaches, and Sanchuan and Sihai will make you longevity noodles."

Er'er stood in the kitchen and watched her elder sister pick out the longevity peaches.

The kitchen in the stone house was still a little dim, but Er'er's eyes were wide open, making them look unusually bright in the house.

"Then I'll just wait."

Xu Yiyi grinned at Er'er and put away the longevity peaches she had picked.

"How do I eat this ugly fish, big sister?"

Er'er took a look at this big fish he had never seen before, and for a moment he couldn't imagine that there were so many strange creatures in the sea.

Standing outside the pool, the fish's eyes are still blue, sparkling and full of water.

"Steamed or braised, this fish is really big. I'll send some to Mr. Sanchuan later."

Xu Yiyi used a dagger to cut the ugly fish into pieces. The fish's head was indeed ugly, and there was something bulging on it, and it was unclear whether it was fat.

She looked at it for a while and threw the fish head into the fish basket.

The remaining fish body was divided into four parts, one for Aunt Li's family, one for Uncle Great-grandfather's family, and one for Xiang Yu as well.

The large portion left at the end is what the family eats.

"Er Er, help me clean the abalone and clean all the shrimps and crabs in the pool."

The little girl squatted at the door with a brush in her hand, and the yard was full of seafood.

When Li Xiuying returned to the village from the dock, she couldn't wait to find her handkerchief and give it to Awan.

The two happened to be passing by Xu's house when they saw this scene. They sighed and said, "Yi Yi is really capable. He's a great swimmer and can hold his breath. I heard from my father that Yi Yi often goes to the bottom of the sea to catch seafood. Look at the ground full of seafood, and they are all good things. It really makes people angry when they compare themselves to others."

When Li Xiuying heard this, she subconsciously rolled her eyes.

However, Awan did not notice Li Xiuying's disgust and kept praising Xu Yiyi.

"What's so great about her? She's an orphan with a few burdens. Even if a woman like this is very capable, it's useless. She still won't find anyone to marry."

Li Xiuying looked condescending as she watched Xu Yiyi handle the fish in a sloppy manner.

There was some contempt in his tone.

"That's not what I mean. Marrying someone well is not as good as having your own abilities. And can you guarantee that the man you meet now will still treat you well after you get married?"

Awan didn't quite agree with what Li Xiuying said and subconsciously refuted it.

Suddenly realizing something, Li Xiuying turned around and saw her face turn black.

"Of course, your situation is different."

Awan was smiling, and Li Xiuying was quite happy wearing the new clothes.

Nothing good ever happens when you meet Xu Yiyi.

"A woman will eventually find a good family to marry. No matter how capable Xu Yiyi is, she can't escape the fate of getting married. Just wait and see! With her conditions, she was abandoned by the Zhong family. How can she find a good family?"

"I'm going back."

Li Xiuying pulled the handkerchief with a cold look in her eyes, her heart in turmoil.

"You're not coming to my house? Didn't you say you were going to see the wedding dress I embroidered?"

Awan shouted at the top of her lungs, but Li Xiuying ignored her and left on her own.

Awan curled her lips, thinking that his temper was still as bad as ever.

The two are of the same age, got engaged at about the same time, and their wedding date is approaching.

Because of this factor, the relationship between the two became even closer.

Today, Li Xiuying went to see Awan not only to show off the new clothes her fiancé bought for her, but more importantly, she wanted to see the wedding dress embroidered by Awan.

She is not very good at sewing and has been pricking her fingers at home these days, but she is not very satisfied with the patterns she has embroidered.

Awan's needlework was better than hers, and she thought that Awan's wedding dress would look better than hers.

She was determined to ask her fiancé to order a wedding dress for her at the embroidery workshop in the provincial capital.

After all, she always thought that she was prettier than Awan. If Awan stole the limelight in this regard, she would regret it in the future.

Unfortunately, he didn’t even have the chance to see the wedding dress before he was angered by Awan’s words and left.

"The eldest sister is Li Xiuying! She has such a bad face, I don't know who has offended her again."

Er'er heard Awan's voice and turned around to look, chatting with Xu Yiyi.

The next moment, the lobster that had been cleaned in his hands was thrown into the wooden basin.

"You don't like her that much?"

In Xu Yiyi's impression, Er'er and Li Xiuying seemed to have never gotten along.

"She's vain and has a high opinion of herself. She was born in a fishing village, but she despises everything here. She even looks down on Uncle Li and Aunt Li. She doesn't even think about how she would have grown up without them. I've seen her yell at Aunt Li more than once. She's so annoying."

Er'er frowned and looked a little unhappy.

"Wow, it seems Mr. Sanchuan is doing quite well!"

Xu Yiyi teased.

Er'er blinked her eyes and exploded when she heard Xu Yiyi's words.

Sanchuan would teach Er'er and Sihai to read every night before going to bed, but the two children would complain about having a headache every day and refused to speak.

Every time at this time, Sanchuan would have a stern face, like an old scholar.

Er'er and Sihai were forced to study for a while, and they did make some progress.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more. If you don't like her, just have less contact with her and ignore her."

Xu Yiyi never cared about Li Xiuying. In fact, she had discovered it a long time ago.

Li Xiuying always competes with her openly or covertly.

I don't know what their thoughts are, but the relationship between the two has always been lukewarm.

"Sister, you don't want to talk about her at all?"

Er'er stared at Xu Yiyi curiously, sniffed, and his eyes were full of confusion.

"I don't care about her, so there's no need to talk about her."

Xu Yiyi shrugged his shoulders, stood up and caught the wolf eel from the pool.

Compared to it, the ugly fish only has a bigger head, but the wolf eel is as tall as Sanchuan and thicker than Bill's thigh.

Xu Yiyi quickly picked up the wooden hammer and hit the wolf eel on the head, knocking it unconscious.

The sharp dagger pierced directly into its head, and the wolf eel died completely.

This will make it easier to do subsequent things.

The wooden brush carefully brushed off the scales on the wolf eel's body. When the scales fell off, its grayish-white skin was exposed.

Sihai woke up at this time and used a ladle to help Xu Yiyi rinse the wolf eel.

Then she used a knife to cut open the wolf eel's abdomen and took out its internal organs.

Divide the meat.

The child helped Xu Yiyi move the iron plate from the house and put it up.

"Big sister, it's like Chinese New Year today."

Sihai couldn't help but sigh, holding the banana that Xu Yiyi bought in his hand.

"What you said is true. We couldn't eat such good food during the New Year before."

Sihai recalled that the previous days were indeed not easy.

But he rarely thought about it anymore. If his second sister hadn't suddenly mentioned it, he seemed to have forgotten the days before.
