But if Hong Shanshan wanted to study, eat, drink, or buy clothes, it was like a heavy mountain pressing on his shoulders, leaving him no time to himself at all.
"Don't swim in the east water, otherwise when a wave comes, people will be swept into the middle, and it will be difficult to come back." Hong Dashan reminded.
In the face of life and death, Hong Shanshan was not obedient enough. She swung her legs at Hong Lao San and said, "Third brother, don't worry, he can't swim. He definitely can't swim in the water."
Hong Lao San took Hong Lao Er and Hong Shanshan to play at the beach for more than half an hour. Please tell me if there is nothing interesting at the beach, just step on the sand and enjoy the sea breeze. In that era, there were not as many fun activities as in the later years, so
After playing for a while, they went back together.
Early the next morning, when Hong Shanshan was barely awake, Hong Lao San sent Hong Lao Er to the station. He packed Hong Lao Er with nearly 120 kilograms of stuff, and Hong Lao Er was alone.
As a grown man, if you can't even carry a hundred and twenty kilograms of stuff, then you are really too weak.
Hong Shanshan got up, but she didn’t see Hong Lao Er, and Hong Lao San wasn’t there either. She had no way of knowing that Hong Lao Er had gone back. When Hong Lao San came there to tell her in a few days, Hong Lao Er would probably
Got home.
It happened to be the weekend, and the elementary school had a break. Li Xiaotong and Tian Keke were squatting next to Li Chengcheng, watching her hit small snails with stones to feed the chickens. Suddenly they heard a knock on the door, and Li Xiaotong hurriedly ran to open the door.
Seeing Hong Laoer carrying a big bag and standing outside the door panting, he asked in surprise, "Uncle Yunshan, why am I back?"
When Li Chengcheng heard this, he hurriedly stood up and said, "Second brother, come in quickly and take a walk to rest."
Then he quickly went to the kitchen and poured a glass of Liang Hong for Hong Laoer and brought it over.
Hong Laoer put the big bag on his shoulder and took the cup handed over by Li Chengcheng, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
"It was only a few days ago. Why did you come back so soon? Why didn't you stay there for a few more days?" It took six days to go back and forth, which means that Hong Lao Er only stayed there for two days. That's not it.
I must have gone in a hurry. I didn’t have a good rest, so I went back again.
"The climate there is too hot and I can't adapt to it, so I came back first. Shanshan's work has been arranged. She will go to the elementary school to report on the first day of the coming month. She lives in the third child's house and doesn't need him to worry about it.
What?" Hong Lao Er drank most of the bottle of Liang Hong Kai and said to Li Chengcheng, "There are none of the things Lao San asked him to bring us. Let me see if there is anything in it first."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Li Chengcheng squatted to the east and opened the rope that tied the mouth. The strong fishy smell of the liquid came to her face. She hurriedly poured out the contents, but she found all kinds of dried seafood. Unexpectedly,
The camp of Hong Laosan is actually by the seaside.
Is Hong Laosan not on the island?
In addition to dried seafood, there are many mangoes, coconuts, papayas, carambolas, the kind of carambola that looks like a five-pointed star if you cut it, and a large hanging green banana, which looks like several kilograms.
Mangoes, papayas, and bananas were all underripe, and they definitely didn’t taste good at that time, so Li Chengcheng didn’t take them. Instead, he took a coconut to the kitchen and opened it with a knife. He just poured out two bowls of coconut water.
, give Li Xiaotong and Tian Keke a bowl each.
Hong Laoer was a little surprised, "Sister-in-law, I've never seen that before, how do I know how to eat that thing?"
"Isn't that a coconut? He has seen it in a department store!" Almost exposed, Li Chengcheng hurriedly found an excuse. The department store is the most prosperous place with the richest and most complete supplies in every town and county. Coconuts appear.
It’s not a strange thing!
Hong Lao Er nodded, "The Third Lao also sent us something. It should arrive in a few days."
Looking at the dried seafood and fruits, Li Chengcheng asked curiously, "Is the place where Lao San works rich in those things?"
Hong Lao Er nodded, "Yes, the private house where the Third Lao lives has several mango trees and coconut trees planted in the yard. Fruits are very cheap there, only one or two cents per catty, and dried seafood is also available."
Didn't Li Chengcheng never expect that seafood in that era would be so cheap? I wonder if a few decades later, any kind of seafood will cost dozens of yuan per pound, and whether the price of some marine fish will be as high as hundreds.
At a thousand pounds, it is completely beyond the reach of ordinary people.
But at that time, transportation was inconvenient, and there was no good preservation method, so seafood could not be transported to very far places. It was not easy to eat fresh seafood in a city without sea.
Unless you go to Hong Laosan's place in person sometime and stock up on more seafood to put in the cave, it is best to make a group purchase for a family's lifetime needs, so that you no longer have to worry about eating seafood in the future.
"There are so many dried seafoods, let each of the two families take half of it!" Li Chengcheng knew that the third Hong Lao would not give all of it to them, but would definitely give it to the first and second Hong Lao.
Hong Laoer hurriedly moved his legs, "He can't eat much by himself, and he doesn't know how to cook other things, so I'll just get him two fishes, and let's keep the leftovers!"
"Okay, they asked if they could make other seafood to eat, just leave me a bowl." The people over there have never seen seafood, how can Keke know how to make it? They don't know how to make it, so they just make it randomly.
It's a bit of a waste of food.
"Second brother, I just came back tomorrow, so I stopped cooking for myself. I had dinner at their house at noon, and he just happened to cook two kinds of seafood." Li Chengcheng took a piece of sea fish, put a bowl of conch meat into the kitchen, and poured hot water into it.
Soak it until soft and ready to cut.
Li Chengcheng brought a sea fish to Tian Keke, "Keke, take that fish back to my mother and ask her to soak it in hot water until soft and then drain the water and you can cook it. Hide it carefully and don't ask for help."
My grandma saw it."
Tian Keke's grandma is not a good family. Li Chengcheng doesn't want Tian Keke's grandma to eat his own fish!
"Thank you, Auntie." Tian Keke hid the sea fish in his clothes, turned around and ran away.
"He will go home and pack something first, and then come back at noon." Hong Lao Er took two sea fish, and the remaining items were all given to Li Chengcheng. He couldn't accept the fishy smell of the seafood, and asked the sea fish to be a little better.
.
He doesn't know how to do it, so he doesn't want to waste such a good thing.
After Hong Lao Er left, Li Chengcheng went to the kitchen to cook. After all, I would like to cook a few more dishes at noon tomorrow. I must move my legs in advance. As for the dried seafood and fruits, I would like to wait until Li Xiaotong falls asleep before taking them to the cave.
, it’s hard to explain if she found out.
Among the fruits, there are coconuts, which can be split directly to drink coconut water. Others need to be ripened, so Li Chengcheng put them in an empty rice jar, then covered them with straw, and checked them every two days to avoid covering them up.
