Time Travel: A Fisherwoman Goes to the Sea to Raise a Baby
Chapter 3: Building a Cenotaph
As soon as Aunt Li left, Xu Er'er suddenly lay on her elder sister's back and cried silently.
Wu Yuan, who was well fed, still had rice soup hanging from the corners of his mouth, and his little face was rosy, but even a child the size of a palm could tell that he looked good-looking.
The Xu family's child has facial features and skin color like Zhan Jilan, and a face shape like Xu Yinli.
She has a fair and clean complexion, and even if she runs around outside all day, she won't get too dark.
"It's weird again!"
Xu Yiyi reached out and slapped Xu Erer on the leg.
"Sister, I will repay you when I grow up."
Xu Er'er pursed her lips, her eyes moist, and she couldn't bring herself to ask her elder sister to send them away.
"Nonsense, growing up healthy is the best way to repay your elder sister."
Xu Yiyi didn't want anything.
Just to find peace of mind.
Xu Er'er was not convinced, but she didn't say anything else. She just wanted to prove it to her elder sister in the future.
"You hold Wu Yuan, I'll go cook."
The Xu family was well off, but the Zhan Jilan people were picky, and there was only fine grain at home.
When she was about to run away, she sold everything in the house, but kept the food and carried it all to the old house.
I don’t know if he has a change of heart.
Xu Yiyi cooked fish porridge and stir-fried a dish of oysters with ginger and scallions.
The two little ones in the room also woke up when they smelled the fragrance.
Sihai was confused and didn't know what had happened today. He looked bewildered when he saw his second sister come in.
Sanchuan was only half-understanding, and he hugged Sihai and cried with a pout.
"Sister——"
Zhan Jilan's departure had little impact on the children because she didn't stay at home for long.
Ever since the children could remember, there was only the eldest sister.
When they are sick, it is the eldest sister who stays with them, and when they are hungry, it is only the eldest sister who cooks for them.
Even when they are bullied outside, only the eldest sister will stand up for them.
Now Sanchuan is scared and still wants to find his elder sister.
"Sister is making porridge, please don't shout."
Xu Er'er saw the little brother in her arms move a little, and curled his lips, thinking that he was about to cry.
He quickly lowered his voice.
Sanchuan climbed out of bed with a wronged look on his face. Seeing this, Sihai followed his brother and sat on the doorstep.
As the aroma wafted, their stomachs growled even more happily.
After the meal was served, Sihai took a look and frowned to refuse.
The child didn't like to eat this and was just happily eating a bowl of porridge.
"Er Er, put Wu Yuan down and come over to eat."
A two-month-old child needs someone to watch over him all the time. The original owner must have often held the child in his arms while working, which led to Wu Yuan refusing to sleep in bed.
He must be held when he wakes up, otherwise he will cry.
Xu Er'er has been wanting to eat for a long time. The food her elder sister cooked today is especially delicious.
But my little brother started crying as soon as I put him down.
Seeing this, Xu Yiyi took the child over, and the child slept even more soundly. After carefully putting the child down, the siblings sat down.
"Why doesn't Sihai eat vegetables?"
Xu Yiyi picked up an oyster and handed it to Sihai, who shook his head even more vigorously.
"Sister, Sihai doesn't like to eat this."
When they go out to catch seafood, they just pry open oysters and eat them when they are hungry. But Sihai is different. He would rather starve.
Everyone has their own preferences, and Xu Yiyi will not force anyone.
The oysters here are big and plump, full of flavor, and the ocean is not polluted. Compared with what she has eaten before, this is more like high-end goods.
After lunch, Xu Yiyi took five kilograms of rice to find Sister Cuihua. Aunt Li was right. Wuyuan was still young and couldn't always drink rice soup.
She had just arrived at the door and hadn't even waited to explain her purpose.
Sister Cuihua's mother-in-law, Grandma Cui, asked.
"Is my brother hungry?"
Grandma Cui was sitting at the door eating a bowl of fried fish, but no rice.
"Cuihua, come out quickly."
Grandma Cui was impatient and thought Wu Yuan was starving, so she quickly called her daughter-in-law out.
As soon as Sister Cuihua saw Xu Yiyi, she understood and said, "Dongsheng is full now, why don't you bring your brother over here."
Xu Yiyi had thought about a lot of things along the way. She even felt that no one would agree to breastfeed another person's child so easily.
But Grandma Cui and Sister Cuihua were very enthusiastic.
"Grandma Cui, Sister Cuihua, I came here to discuss with you. Can you help me feed Wu Yuan for a while? I'll give you rice in exchange."
Xu Yiyi was a little nervous, but unexpectedly, Sister Cuihua agreed directly.
Grandma Cui even asked her to take the rice back and refused to accept it.
"Just send your brother over here and take the rice back. Your mother ran away, and the family depends on you. You better save as much as you can."
Xu Yiyi didn't bother to argue with anyone, just put down her things and left.
I walked and stopped along the way, looking around.
The village is on a small island, isolated in the vast ocean, surrounded by several fishing villages.
It is the fishing ban period now, from the first month of the lunar calendar to the last day of the fifth month (the first month of the lunar calendar to the last day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar), and all fishing boats are parked in the waters near the village.
Xu Yi could also see fishermen maintaining their boats as he passed by.
When they arrived near the Xu family's ancestral tomb, Xu Yiyi built a cenotaph for the original owner.
Looking at the slightly raised mound of earth, Xu Yiyi couldn't even erect a tombstone for her.
"Don't worry, from now on your sister and brother are my sister and brother. I will accompany them as they grow up and take good care of them."
The waves roared, and Xu Yiyi's heart calmed down from then on.
The island is quite large, and there is a river near the sea. Fishing can be carried out in the river during the closed fishing season.
Fishermen here rely on fishing and limited agriculture for their livelihoods.
When there was no one around, Xu Yiyi was a little confused.
Walking along the beach, she was thinking about what to do in the future.
Looking at the endless sea, feeling the sea breeze blowing, and the sound of waves crashing made Xu Yiyi let out all the depression in his heart.
When I came back after calming down, the house was in a mess.
"I'm your grandma, I'm doing this for your own good."
All Xu Yiyi saw was the old lady's hunched figure, aggressive look, and wrinkled face full of sophistication and harshness.
Beside the wall stood a tall woman with a long face, wearing a high-waisted skirt and a gold hairpin on her head.
One can tell at a glance that this person comes from a wealthy family.
"You're not, you're a bad person."
Xu Er'er and his two younger brothers blocked the door.
Wu Yuan was crying non-stop inside.
"Big sister, grandma wants to take Wu Yuan away."
Sanchuan looked at his elder sister as if he had seen a savior. He had experienced a lot in the past two days, and the optimistic and cheerful child had become tearful.
He suppressed his grievances and complained to Xu Yiyi.
"Yiyi, now that you're back, talk to them. I sent Wu Yuan away for his own good. Madam Wu is a businesswoman and her family is well-off. Wu Yuan won't suffer if he follows her."
Hearing what grandma mentioned, Madam Wu straightened up, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised and a scornful smile on her face.
"I hope this matter ends here. You didn't care about us before, and you should continue to do so in the future. Whether we brothers and sisters live or die is none of your business, and I won't send Wu Yuan away."
Xu Yiyi crossed her arms and looked at Grandma Xu with cold eyes.
The honest man's transformation was very obvious. Grandma Xu quickly remembered what she had heard that morning about her eldest granddaughter using a harpoon to hurt someone.
Looking at her eldest granddaughter's eyes, she couldn't help but wonder if she would get a forkful of food if she said one more word.
