Chapter 54: Someone is following

Li Changle looked at her with a smile, "People spend money to buy it and eat it. This stuff nourishes yin and yang and replenishes blood. You are too thin, I will keep it for you!"

She is so skinny that if she exerts any force, she will be afraid of breaking her waist.

He doesn't like white-bone spirits. He thinks women who are slightly fat are very good. They have good vitality and blood, look healthy, and are fleshy and comfortable to hold.

"Then keep one pound and eat it, and sell the rest." Zhou Ruonan thought about it and added, "Blood clams are more expensive than other shellfish, and can be sold for only 15 cents per pound! There are so many, I can't finish them all. It’s also a waste.”

"How much meat can there be in something with a shell?" Li Changle saw her frowning and said hurriedly, "Save two kilograms and sell the rest for money, okay?"

Then he squeezed her hand again and said, "Honey, I was not sensible before and put the burden of the family on you. In the future, when you have me at home, don't be too economical."

"Hmm!" Zhou Ruonan felt sweet in her heart, carrying the porcelain basin to the stove room, and bringing the warm food in the pot to the table.

"Anan, there are still some mud snails, please bring me a mouth basin to put them in."

"Are you keeping the mud snails to eat too?"

"It's only half a catty. Ah Wei said he was too lazy to sell it, so he asked you to pickle it and eat it yourself."

?????

"Well!" Zhou Ruonan gave him a basin, "Don't put water in it yet. Get some salt and sprinkle it on top to marinate for a while. Just sprinkle a little lightly on it. Too much will make it salty to death."

"I know, this is how my mother-in-law pickles her food. She taught you how to pickle it!"

"Ah Wei is here, take the bowls and chopsticks and I'll clean them up." Zhou Ruonan said, taking the basin in his hand and cleaning up the mud snails.

Li Changle took the bowls and chopsticks and went out and said to Chen Yongwei, "Come in and eat!"

"Oh!" Chen Yongwei took the bowl and chopsticks, sat down and started eating.

A stack of dried salted fish, braised pork, seaweed soup, fried snail meat and green celery, and a red pepper cut into it. The red and white look makes you appetizing.

"Brother, why don't we go to the grove and set up a cage net?"

"Go there!" Li Changle said, "Let your sister-in-law send those things to the dock to sell them. The soft-shell crabs and yellow-fin fish were sold for more than thirty years. The money will be divided after your sister-in-law sells the catch."

"Do you have enough money to buy a boat and renovate it?"

"It's not like buying from someone else. If you don't have enough, you'll owe it first."

"Brother, I left the money, why don't you let your sister-in-law remember it first, and then you can share it with me when the shares are settled."

"Alright!"

"Ale," Sister-in-law Li came in from outside, "I heard that the village is going to start surveying the tidal flats, and plans to contract the land to individuals to raise blue crabs and dragonflies. Several companies are already looking at which tidal flats will be allocated. "

Li Changle laughed and said: "We are engaged in breeding! Let them go. People like me who have neither money nor skills will not join in the fun."

He did know a bit about the village's contracting of tidal flats for breeding. The party secretary who contracted the most tidal flats was followed by the father-in-law Aqing and his uncle. He couldn't remember the other small households.

What he remembers most clearly is that none of these big companies made any money. The breeding technology was one thing. The most unfortunate thing was that a typhoon blew away everything.

The party secretary who suffered the most was the party secretary. I heard that he still owed foreign debts. When the villagers found out, they secretly rejoiced in the misfortune for a long time.

Sister-in-law Li thought what he said made sense, "Yes, it's like growing rice. The ears of rice that you know how to tend will be long and full, but if you don't know how to do it, the ears of rice will grow like scabies."

Li Changle laughed at himself: "If I plant eighty percent of the seeds, I will get scabies."

Sister-in-law Li couldn't help but laugh when she thought of his appearance while farming, "Ale, do you know? In the past two days, everyone in the village who gossiped about you has turned away.

They say you are so lucky and you have acquired so many good things, but you have suddenly gone from being a despised bastard to being the object of jealousy."

"Damn it, I can't even see the poor have enough to eat. I'm not out of poverty yet! They're starting to get jealous!"

"The people in the village are like this. If any chicken lays a double-yolked egg, it will be spread from the village head to the village committee."

Zhou Ruonan came into the house with a basin and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, which families want to contract? Which tidal flats does the village plan to contract out?"

Sister-in-law Li shook her head, "I don't know. I just heard what my eldest aunt said and her tone of voice, and I think the eldest family wants to take over the contract to raise blue crabs."

Chen Yongwei said: "I heard that raising blue crabs costs a lot of money!"

Zhou Ruonan nodded, "Yeah! How much does a crab fry cost?"

"None of them, we just work to make money." Li Changle put down the bowl, "Nan, let's go to the cages and you can take the catch to the dock and sell it."

"Auntie, let's go with you." Li Xiaohai said hurriedly.

Zhou Ruonan nodded, "Xiaohai will take my brother to wash his face, and my mother will pack the catch."

"Oh!" The two brothers ran towards the kitchen house.

After packing up, everyone went out separately. As usual, Li Changle and Chen Yongwei walked out of the village empty-handed.

When he was approaching the salt-alkali land, he always felt like someone was following him.

Li Changle turned around and looked, but saw nothing. He shook his head and walked forward for a while, that feeling came again.

He turned his head abruptly and used his headlight to shine behind him but found no one. He held up his headlight and pointed to the other side but found no one. Looking at the orange trees on the other side, he suspected that the person was probably hiding behind the tree.

"Awei, do you feel someone is following us on the other side?"

"No! Is there anyone there? Why didn't I notice it?" Chen Yongwei turned on his flashlight and shot towards the opposite side. After looking around, he didn't even see anyone. "There's no one there, maybe the leaves are moving in the wind."

Li Changle didn't notice him when he saw him. He looked at the orange tree opposite and suspected that he was too sensitive.

After doing this, he really felt that the feeling of being followed was gone. He turned off his headlight and walked towards the gate under the light of Ah Wei's flashlight.

After walking through the woods and arriving at the water's edge, Chen Yongwei put down his backpack and took out the ground pot and crab pot. "Brother, I'll put down the crab pot, and you can put down the ground pot."

"Okay!" Li Changle took off his sandals, picked up the ground cage and bamboo pole and entered the water. Suddenly there was a "clunk" in front of him. He quickly turned his head and looked over, only to see a water snake with a thick wrist swimming forward quickly.

"Awei, I encountered a very thick water snake. Remember to hit the water surface with a bamboo pole, especially the bushes in front."

Chen Yongwei, who was holding a crab pot, turned and walked towards him, "Where is it? Why didn't I meet him? I haven't eaten snake soup for a long time."

"...You're awesome!" Li Changle waved to him, "There are so many mosquitoes, so get out of bed and go home."

"Didn't you say you wanted to bring moth balls? Why didn't you bring them?"

"I don't have any mothballs at home. I'll have to buy some at Tuxiaqiao tomorrow."

Li Changle put the ground cage in place, pulled the rope and walked to the shore. When he turned around, he saw a dark shadow flashing through the woods on the shore and shouted:
Chapter completed!
