"We have a guest at home, please go home and cook." The old fisherman took the duck eggs for her and said.
"Who is it? Why don't I recognize him?"
"Xiaoli's friend is coming to stay at our house for two days."
"Ah? Why didn't this kid tell us in advance?"
Yufen stepped forward and took Su Mingming's hand, "Hey, this kid's face is sallow, is he seasick?"
Su Mingming nodded, "Hello, aunt, my name is Su Mingming."
"Miss Mingming, are you my Xiaoli's friend?"
Su Mingming looked at the old fisherman, who winked and motioned for her to nod.
"Um."
"Let's go home. That crazy girl, why didn't you tell me earlier? I'm better prepared."
What the island lacks is fresh vegetables, but there is no shortage of all kinds of seafood.
Afraid that she wouldn't be able to get used to it, Aunt Yufen went to her neighbor's house and asked for a handful of cabbage seedlings.
"His family got some soil from the land and planted vegetables in the foam box. Xiaoli's father said that she would go to the land to get some soil in two days and plant some coriander, cabbage, radish and so on."
To Su Mingming, these were like a book from heaven. She couldn't understand a word of it.
Very few people were sincerely nice to her, so she was a little moved, enduring the sadness in her heart, and ate in small bites.
"Try sea duck eggs. I raise twenty ducks. I don't feed them any feed. They only eat small fish and shrimps. I heard that people on land like to eat these duck eggs. Do you know how much they cost in the market?"
pieces?”
Su Mingming shook her head in embarrassment. She had never even seen a duck. How could she know how much duck eggs cost?
Aunt Yufen was a little disappointed, "Eat, eat, it's holiday, why doesn't my Xiaoli come back to see us?"
She was very full at lunch. She had never eaten such delicious food. Aunt Yufen's cooking skills were also very good.
She heard that her eldest aunt's cooking skills were as good as those of chefs in big hotels, but she didn't know if they were competing to see who could cook the most delicious food.
Due to seasickness and physical discomfort, Su Mingming found an excuse to go to bed after lunch.
Yufen followed her man to the shade of a tree to continue weaving a fishing net.
A group of young people came over. They were dressed like they were from the city.
"Master, look at those two girls, they look so much like Xiaoli's friends."
When others walked in, the old fisherman rubbed his eyes and stared for a while, "Isn't that right? She also said that she has no brothers or sisters."
Have you ever seen a child in the city weaving a fishing net?
Qiao Yifeng, Yin Quan and others came around and asked curiously, "Uncle, what kind of fish net is this?"
"You can catch any fish, it depends on what you want to catch."
The couple stared at Su Jian and Su Huan. Su Huan asked embarrassedly, "Uncle, is there something dirty on my face?"
"No, no, you two are sisters, right? You look exactly the same."
"Cousin, she is my sister, but she is only a few months older than me."
Su Jian smiled at the two of them, squatted down and twisted the fishing line, "Uncle, you must have hated this net for a long time, right?"
"Yes, it has been more than ten years."
The old fisherman asked curiously, "How did you know?"
"All fishing lines are different, but this kind of fishing line is better. It has high toughness and is not easily scratched by rocks on the seabed."
There is a kind of net called "Juehu Net". It has a fine mesh and can catch all fish, big and small, as well as shrimps. After walking through half the village, Su Jian did not find a "Juehu Net".
The people on the island have simple and honest customs, but the conditions of most families are very ordinary. Stone houses like those built in the 1960s and 1970s can be seen everywhere on the island.
"Are you going fishing?"
"No, now is not the best time. We are going to go swimming."
