As the sky gets darker, every household in the village starts to have dinner.

Many people hold bowls with some food on them and stand at the door, eating and chatting with their neighbors.

But Zhang Ze's family is different. Today Zhang's mother cooked a pot of chicken, so naturally she had to close the door and hide it to eat.

There may be some smell that will arouse suspicion, but they don’t care so much. It’s better than leaving the door open and someone coming to the door with a bowl!

At that time, maybe you can be polite and others will follow the lead.

"Hmm~ The chicken legs are so delicious!" At this time, Zhang Wu, who had been crying for a long time and no one paid attention to him, was competing with a big chicken drumstick.

It has become an unchangeable fact that a dime becomes a penny, so eat more chicken tonight.

After a while, a big chicken leg was eaten, and then he focused on the last chicken wing in the big bowl.

Because the other chicken drumsticks and chicken wings had been allocated to Zhang Qing and Zhang Qian, Zhang Ze was not very interested in the chicken legs and wings, so he kept them.

Just as Zhang Wu stretched out his chopsticks to grab the chicken wings, Zhang's mother's chopsticks hit his hand with a snap: "What are you doing? One big chicken drumstick is not enough for you. Isn't there other meat? This chicken wing is yours."

Brother's."

"I thought brother wouldn't eat it..." Although Zhang Wu is eager for chicken wings, he is not unreasonable or selfish in this regard.

Every family in rural areas basically has several children. Unless the parents have such a personality, it will be difficult for future generations to develop their own personalities.

"I won't eat it, you can eat it!" Zhang Ze smiled and put the chicken wings into his bowl. His brother was wronged today, so he had to give him some small compensation.

"Thank you, brother!" Zhang Wu's eyes lit up, and he immediately thanked him happily, and then started to deal with the chicken wings.

Children are good, their emotions come and go quickly, so they don’t have any worries.

Zhang Huihong smiled when she saw this. Of course she dotes on her younger son. There are only four children in the family. As a mother, she has to keep a bowl of water as flat as possible, not to mention that all this was brought by her eldest son.

"By the way, A Ze, someone from the girl you're interested in came to our village today to inquire about you and Er Gouzi, and they happened to meet me!"

"Cough cough cough..." Zhang Ze, who was eating, almost choked.

He had expected it when the Tong family asked someone to inquire about it, but he didn't expect to meet his mother. It was a bit of a coincidence.

As for the outcome, he didn't have to guess.

"Eat slowly, you kid!" Zhang Huihong patted him on the back quickly, and continued after seeing that he was feeling better, "I have asked your Aunt Fang to go to the matchmaker tomorrow. If they agree, you can go with me the day after tomorrow.

”

"Okay, I get it!" He will have a few days free after delivering goods to the radio factory tomorrow, and he can just go to Tong's house.

After dinner, Zhang Wu, who had been busy all day, took her two daughters to fetch water and go to the house to take a bath, while Zhang Wu washed himself in the yard.

Zhang Ze moved the stools beside the dining table and put them together, then lay on them to enjoy the coolness.

Although it is summer, the current summer is not as hot as it will be in later generations. It is actually very cool to enjoy the wind outside in the evening.

Zhang Ze would go to the beach around eight o'clock in the evening. It was a bit early now, so he simply lay down for a while.

There was a loud banging sound, and he couldn't help but get up after lying down for a while.

Usually before going to bed, Zhang Huihong would light his own dried mugwort and bring it into the room to repel mosquitoes, so he never experienced the trouble of mosquitoes while sleeping after his rebirth.

In addition, I often go fishing at night, and the smell of mugwort in the room is not strong when I come back. I did not consider that mosquitoes are much more rampant these days than in later generations.

If he can't bear it anymore, if he lies down any longer, he will become a mosquito's blood bag.

"Awu, after you wash up, go in and tell mom that I'm going to the beach."

"Brother, are you going to catch lobsters?"

"Well, what's wrong?"

"No...it's nothing. I just want to eat blue crabs. Brother, can you bring some back?"

Seeing his brother's insincere expression, Zhang Ze immediately understood that this kid probably wanted to try the taste of lobster.

But after hesitating for a moment, he didn't point it out.

The price of lobster is quite high and can be sold for money. The family needs money everywhere now. He has no plans to bring these valuable things back to his family for the time being.

For now, we still have to make money first, and it won’t be too late to give our family a taste of these good things when our family conditions are better in the future.

Anyway, there are a lot of good things on the beach that actually taste good, so he can show them to his family when he is free.

"Okay, then I'll come back and bring some blue crabs!"

After agreeing, Zhang Ze went into the house and took out his special bamboo basket, and put the fishing line and fishhook in it. Maybe there were no suitable fishing spots at low tide and he couldn't use it, but he still took it with him, and he didn't forget the kitchen knife in the end.

Leaving the village and reaching the path to the seaside, his heart moved, and the flashlight and battery in the small space suddenly appeared in his hand.

Put the battery in and tighten the cover at the back. The flashlight suddenly emits a bright light, illuminating the road ahead clearly.

And when he twisted and loosened the tail cap a few times, the bulb in the flashlight immediately went out.

Although the switch is broken, it works just fine. It’s just a matter of twisting the cap, so it’s not too much trouble.

Then he put the flashlight back into the small space, and after his eyes adjusted to the darkness, he continued walking towards the beach.

He is familiar with this path, and the moonlight is still good today, so there is no need to waste electricity.

When he arrived at the grove, he felt a little regretful that there was no blood-curdling sound today. Otherwise, he could have gone back secretly and called the master to catch the adulterer on the spot.

After gathering his thoughts, Zhang Ze continued walking towards the beach, and soon he came to the reef area.

The sea water is making a splashing sound now, and it seems that the tide is about to recede.

Zhang Ze sighed, there is no deep water area in this area, otherwise low tide would be a good time for fishing.

However, low tide is also suitable for catching the sea, so he took out the flashlight again, and then prepared to collect the lobsters before starting to catch the sea.

When he came to the puddle, Zhang Ze put the flashlight on a low rock that had not been submerged by sea water, and pointed it at the position of the straw rope.

He found two stones and put them on both sides to prevent the flashlight from rolling. Then he walked to the puddle and grabbed the straw rope that had emerged from the water to pull up the shrimp pot.

As soon as he lifted the straw rope, Zhang Ze's heart skipped a beat. Because the straw rope was very light, there was obviously something wrong with the other end and it had broken.

He hurriedly pulled the straw rope back, and then pulled up a shrimp pot that was mostly broken.

I looked at the shrimp pot carefully and saw that the marks on it seemed to have been bitten by some creature.

Without any time to think, Zhang Ze quickly went to pull the second shrimp pot.

Fortunately, my luck was not too bad, and this shrimp pot turned out to be safe and sound. Its weight was about the same as before, or even a little heavier.

But as soon as the shrimp pot was pulled to the surface, a meter-level black shadow rushed up. It opened its big mouth, revealing a mouth full of sharp teeth, and bit directly on the shrimp pot.

Then his body kept swinging, and he easily bit out a hole in the shrimp pot, revealing the lobster inside.

Zhang Ze quickly lifted the shrimp pot into the air with quick eyes and hands, and then stuffed the shrimp pot into the bamboo basket backwards.
