Chapter 53: Bragging fun
"Last time, Chen Ji's A Dong sent a big flower dragon and rice fish. He said that they were also found by a sea hunter, and that person had better luck than you."
"Oh! That's pretty good luck!" Li Changle didn't bother to ask Chen Ji how much he sold it for, so as not to feel uncomfortable hearing it.
Akun came out with a bucket and handed the money to Li Changle, "It's almost dark, take the money and go home quickly."
?????
Li Changle took out three dollars and stuffed it into his hand, "Uncle Kun, don't be too little!"
Akun put it back into his hand and said, "When you collect a hundred yuan later, you can give it to me."
"Okay!" Li Changle quickly caught it, "Thank you, Uncle Kun, I'll leave first!"
Akun nodded, turned around and went to the kitchen, where he ordered two soft-shell crabs to be fried and sent to the private room upstairs.
…
Not long after Li Changle left the town on his bicycle, it became dark. Thinking that Chen Yongwei was alone at the beach, he quickly took out his headlamp and put it on, speeding up and hurried back.
He was the only one riding his bicycle on the dark road. Occasionally, a car roared past on the dilapidated road full of dirt and gravel, kicking up dust all over the sky and rushing towards him.
When I entered the village, I saw Li Xiaoyang and Li Xiaotao running towards the party secretary's house with a group of children, "Li Xiaoyang, why don't you go home after dark?"
"Uncle Third, let's go to the party secretary's house to watch TV, martial arts movies, they're very good."
When Li Xiaotao saw him riding a bicycle, he even stopped watching TV and said, "Uncle, I want to ride a bicycle."
"You are not allowed to go back. I won't be able to watch TV if you go back." Li Xiaoyang quickly grabbed him and shouted to Li Changle, "Uncle, please go back quickly. I will take my brother to watch TV for a while and then go home."
When Li Changle saw a group of children running into the party secretary's house, he shook his head and pedaled back.
When I got home, I saw my two sons and their cousins playing sandbag throwing games in the yard. Sister-in-law Li, who had not been seen all day, and her sister-in-law Zhou Ruonan were weaving nets in the yard to enjoy the cool air.
Hearing the noise, he turned his head and glanced, then immersed himself in knitting.
"Mom, dad is back." Li Xiaohai turned to Zhou Ruonan and shouted.
"Aniang saw it." Zhou Ruonan smiled and put down the ruler and shuttle, and went to greet him, "You're back!"
"Well!" Li Changle took off the backpack, "You return the bicycle to Ah Qing, and I'll go see Ah Wei."
Seeing him coming back and about to leave, Zhou Ruonan asked distressedly: "You don't want to eat?"
"Ale, we ate before you waited." Mrs. Li also said.
"I ate corn before going fishing, but I'm not hungry yet!" Li Changle strode into the house, took out the money from his pocket and stuffed it into the straw under the mat, put on the dirty clothes and went out.
As soon as I reached the bottom of the mountain, I saw Chen Yongwei wearing a headlamp and carrying a bucket walking down. He said loudly: "You are back, and I said I would pick you up."
"Brother, you're back too!" Chen Yongwei walked down the mountain in a few steps, "I originally wanted to fish for a while, but after dark, there were so many mosquitoes and gadflies.
I applied Fengyoujing and cooling oil, and it worked at first. After the smell passed, they started sucking blood around me and there were bumps all over my body." He said and scratched a few times.
After seeing this, Li Changle felt his penis become itchy. Suddenly something came to his mind and he had an idea: "Let's get some mothballs and take them with us when we go down to the cage at night."
After hearing this, Chen Yongwei nodded repeatedly, "Yes, cockroaches of that size are afraid of it, mosquitoes and gadflies are definitely more afraid."
"You guy, no matter what I say, you are right, so you are not afraid that I will lead you into a ditch?"
Li Changle felt that he was no different from the brainless fans of later generations, and he supported him regardless of whether he was right or wrong.
"Hehe!" Chen Yongwei smiled naively, "Your brain is better than mine. You are right, you must be right."
"You know how to enslave me!" Li Changle rolled his eyes at him and stepped forward to take the bucket, "Why don't you go to the dock and sell the fish before coming back?"
"A Dong always asks me to dig up snow clams and send them to his home. The blood clams we picked up today are huge. When he sees them, he will definitely ask me to sell them to him. I will go this way and pick out the blood clams first before going back."
"The thing is yours. If you don't want to sell it, why don't you just refuse it?" Li Changle said, "Every man can't even refuse. It would be strange if he didn't treat you like a bully and a horse when you meet a shameless person!
"Brother, Adong is a nice person, I'm embarrassed to refuse."
"Fool!" Li Changle glanced at him, "Have you found any fish or crabs while I'm gone?"
"I caught two tide-watching crabs, a blue crab whose pliers were broken by me, a black sea bream weighing two to three kilograms, and several kilograms of razor clams."
Chen Yongwei paused for a moment, "I also dug up some mud snails, which weigh only half a catty in total. I don't think they should be sold. I'll keep them for myself to pickle and eat."
"Okay, you can take it back and marinate it in your grandma's milk."
"I still have a jar at home that I haven't eaten yet. You can keep it for yourself."
"Then you take that green crab with the broken claws home and eat it."
"oh!"
While they were talking, the two of them arrived outside the Li family's yard. Zhou Ruonan, who was tying the floor cage with Mrs. Li, saw them coming back and hurriedly put down what he was doing.
"Awei, I told your grandma that you will eat at my house tonight."
"I'll come back when I go back and wash up." Chen Yongwei put down his backpack, "Brother, pick out the blood clams and mud snails. I'll be right back."
Li Changle handed him the blue crabs in the bucket, "Hurry up, I'll wait for you to come back for dinner."
"oh oh!"
After Chen Yongwei left, Li Changle began to clean the catch in the bucket. Zhou Ruonan took out the sacks from the basket and hung them on the bamboo poles under the eaves to dry.
"Anan, have you cleaned up the snails?"
"After finishing it, I got some celery and fried it for a plate." Zhou Ruonan said with a smile, "I don't know how to do it. My sister-in-law taught me to hook the snail meat with a scale hook and let the snail meat come out of the shell by itself. The shells are not damaged at all."
Li Changle then remembered that she had never done it before and had even forgotten to teach her.
Sister-in-law Li came out and saw him picking up the blood clams in the porcelain basin. "Hey, I haven't seen such a big blood clam in a long time."
"Hehe! You won't go if I tell you to!" Li Changle put a blood clam in a porcelain basin with a proud look on his face, "There are not many people fishing in the sea today, and you can pick up good products on the mud beach."
"Are these all picked up?"
"Some were picked up, and some were combed with a rake. Before Awei and I finished picking up, there were more clams washed up by the water."
"Xiaoyang said you picked up a yellow-finned fish weighing about ten kilograms. So it's true?"
"Of course it's true. Have you forgotten the amazing thing about my shipping? As long as I take action, everything will be good!"
"No wonder your elder brother said you're a braggart!" Sister-in-law Li said with a smile, "You can make a dead person alive!"
"If you don't believe me, just watch me come back with the goods every day!" Li Changle picked out all the blood clams and found that there were quite a lot of them, about six or seven kilograms.
He carried it into the house and said to Zhou Ruonan who was folding the oilcloth bag, "Honey, get some water to keep it up and eat it tomorrow."
