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

The afternoon sun made people dizzy. Xu Yiyi took Sihai to swim in the river. When his uncle was not around, it was just like playing.

When the great uncle arrived, no one dared to laugh.

Li Xiuying was not good at swimming and her uncle told her off several times. She got angry and simply refused to swim.

I climbed up from the river, all wet, and ran back home feeling very aggrieved.

The uncle watched without doing anything, and the next moment Li Xiuying asked Aunt Li to send her back by twisting her ears.

Unlike the duck swimming competition in the fishing village, the duck swimming competition in the town may not attract the attention of the government and lead to your promotion, but there are various rewards. If the top few winners catch the eyes of these officials, it is possible that they can find an official to marry.

Although Li Xiuying is engaged, if she can win a place in the competition, it will be a very prestigious thing both in her parents' home and in her future husband's family.

Seeing that Li Xiuying was kicked down, Xu Yiyi was very enthusiastic and made room for her.

Xu Yiyi was lazily holding Sihai in the water, looking very comfortable.

My uncle would not allow children of this age to swim in the sea. The waves in the sea are so big that even an adult man may not be able to withstand it, let alone a child.

Another thing is what the villagers often talk about: unusual sea movements, the anger of the sea god, etc. In fact, this is what we now call rip currents, which can kill people invisibly. They appear calm on the surface but flow very fast, making them difficult for ordinary people to detect.

By the time you realize it, you have been swept away from the shallows by the rip current, killing people invisibly, and people often die of exhaustion.

Sihai looked at the sea not far away. Although he was afraid to say it, he still felt a yearning in his heart.

"Big sister will take you out to play?"

Xu Yiyi is not afraid of water and has the ability to protect herself, so it is okay for her to take the children to play in the shallows.

Sihai nodded slightly, and the two of them swam out slowly from the river into the sea.

At this time, the wind and waves were not strong, and the boat was swaying slightly. Sihai was like a small fish, swimming around in the water.

The sea here is very clear and the sand is fine, which is very suitable for children to play.

Sihai used the dog paddling technique, and the water ripples with each stroke and kick, which looked very comfortable and pleasant.

Before the uncle could react, the two of them swam back quietly.

Last year Xu Yiyi was able to take second place, but this year Xu Yiyi cannot guarantee that.

Seeing how much his uncle attached to the duck swimming competition, Xu Yiyi also started to take it seriously.

She has no problem diving, but she is not so good at speed competition.

Even Xu Anyang, who leads Sihai Fushui, said that she was much slower than last year.

With just this one sentence, the uncle urgently arranged for her to have extra training.

I let her go only when I thought it was time to set up the stall.

Er'er cooks at home and is too busy to eat, so she has to eat in advance before going over.

It was not time to cook at Xu Anyang's house yet. The young man sat in the Xu family's yard and ate three bowls of rice in a row before he began to chew the vegetables slowly.

Unlike other children in the family, Xu Anyang loves to eat vegetables.

Maybe it’s because most of the vegetables at home were bought since I was a child, and I spent money on them so I think they taste good.

There are more sea urchins on the stall today, and they are delicious whether steamed or fried with rice.

As soon as I arrived at the dock, someone was already waiting.

I don’t know what the lady selling fried oysters was thinking, but the stall has already been sold.

What appeared on the stall were Guan Hongtian's neatly arranged wine jars. When he saw Xu Yiyi coming, he came over very attentively to help, but was driven away by Xu Anyang.

Mrs. Wu seemed to be very worried that her husband would get involved with Xu Yiyi. When she heard that her husband had rented a stall to set up business, she insisted on following him.

The sun was too strong at the moment, so Guan Hongtian used an umbrella to create a shaded area for her and her mother, and put food and drinks on the table.

People who didn’t know her would think she was just out for fun.

"Sister Yiyi, he's too arrogant. After I refused to cooperate with him, he actually ran to the dock to set up a stall. This must be bullying the old lady, otherwise why would she give up the stall?"

Xu Anyang was very angry. Sanchuan came out of the school and happened to hear what he said.

"I heard from the master that the son of the woman selling fried oysters owns the only gambling house in town. He's on good terms with the government and has a lot of thugs at home. He told us not to antagonize them when we set up our stall."

In fact, I knew that Xu Yiyi was easily offended by her personality, so I reminded her specifically.

"If that's the case, I guess her son doesn't allow her to set up a stall anymore."

Xu Yiyi looked at Guan Hongtian's family not far away, wondering whether she should say anything or not. This person was too embarrassed to admit defeat and was not afraid of losing face.

Sanchuan washed his hands and prepared to help, but he never expected Er'er to stuff a bowl of food into his hands.

"Second sister?"

Sanchuan looked at it in confusion, and Sihai immediately came over and said how delicious it was.

However, after seeing this, A Yue quickly moved away.

"Eat first to fill your stomach, otherwise you won't have time to eat when you're busy."

Xu Yiyi and Xu Anyang set up the table. I don’t know if Xu Anyang brought all the dining tables from home.

There is one more square table than the first night stall.

"Also, big sister, the master told me that from now on, I can put the food for the stall in his gatehouse. I saw that the gatehouse is very big. Besides the resting place for the gatekeepers, there is also a large space that is empty. The master has only one request, which is that you make more delicious food in the future."

When I was an official in Chang'an, I had no appetite for anything, but I never expected that here I would be thinking about food all day long.

Xiang Yu was too embarrassed to tell Xu Yiyi directly because of his pride, so he asked Sanchuan to act as a middleman.

"Did Mr. Xiang tell you that?"

Xu Yiyi was worried that she couldn't rent a suitable place to store her things. Life on the island was very comfortable. Her clan members were united, she had the support of her uncle and great-grandfather, and she had a big house at home. She didn't want to move out for the time being.

But I was also worried about the trouble of dragging these things around every day, and I couldn’t find a suitable place for a while.

Xiang Yu's words actually solved her urgent problem.

"Yes, the gentleman hasn't eaten yet. He will probably be here soon. You can tell him, sister."

Sanchuan nodded blankly.

As soon as the fire started, the oil sizzled on the iron plate and people came to the stall instantly.

Qingshan was thinking about the delicious food Xu Yiyi had made, so he came over as soon as the boat docked.

He looked curiously at the big thing in front of Xu Yiyi. It was an iron plate more than one meter long and was shiny after being washed with oil.

When he saw the wooden barrel next to him, his eyes widened instantly.

"Is this a stone cha? Where did you get so many of them? They're quite big."

Qingshan exclaimed, and the people watching nearby also came over.

Xu Yiyi didn't understand at first, until Sihai pointed at the wooden barrel and called it sea urchin, then she knew what Qingshan was talking about.

"Isn't this a stone raft? This thing is very rare and is only sold in the capital. We are lucky today."

Qingshan turned his head and counted six to Xu.

I asked her how to make it, and she told me to use three for steamed eggs, three for fried rice, and ordered a can of seafood porridge. I also ordered a portion of all the various seafood on the iron plate.

When the others saw that the six sea urchins had been taken away, the wooden barrel instantly became much emptier.

This thing takes up a lot of space, and it seems like there aren't many left.

They immediately started snatching things away.

At this time, Guan Hongtian also began to actively promote his own wine.
