Chapter 113 The Good Luck Has Run Out
Chapter 113 The Good Luck Has Run Out
"Little thing, you always fart. I don't want you to sleep with me!" Li Changle kicked off his slippers and lay down on the bed next to his youngest son.
The little guy suddenly turned over and climbed up, sitting on his stomach with his butt sideways. Li Changle only felt a burst of heat, followed by a smell of onion.
The little guy covered his nose and turned over, looking at him and giggling triumphantly.
"You little rascal, you're up to no good again after all this time!" Li Changle hugged him and patted him on the butt a few times, "Little brat!"
Li Xiaohai covered his nose, "A-di is the worst. He often sits on my stomach and farts. He also says that he farts when he eats garlic."
"Hehehe..." Li Xiaozhou was lying there, holding his two little feet with his hands, swinging them left and right, "Grandma said that my farts are long-bone farts, and I will grow taller after that."
"Nonsense, you will grow taller if you run and jump more with your brother." Li Changle yawned, "Let's sleep, Dad is so sleepy."
Zhou Ruonan was holding a comic book and watching the grandfather and his friends playing. Seeing this, he pulled his youngest son over and said, "Okay, go to the crib and sleep, so that dad can have a good sleep."
She carried her younger son to the bed opposite, waited for her older son to get into bed, lowered and tucked in the mosquito net, and then went back to lie down.
Li Changle fell asleep unknowingly while listening to the noises of her two sons whispering to each other in the small bed opposite.
He woke up when Zhou Ruonan got up and hugged Li Xiaozhou to pee. When she put her son to bed and came back to lie down, he hugged her in his arms.
Zhou Ruonan nestled in his arms, "I'm not tired. I woke up in the middle of the night and didn't want to fall asleep again."
"Let's see if the dark circles under our eyes can deal with people!" Li Changle blocked her mouth after saying this, "An Nan, how about we have another sister?"
Zhou Ruonan, who was so distracted by his kiss, was stunned for a moment, "We already have two sons, and there will be a fine for having more than one child."
"As long as you want, he can punish you!" Li Changle leaned over and bit her ear...
……
Li Changle slept soundly. When he woke up, Zhou Ruonan and his son were both up. He looked up at the alarm clock and saw that it was almost eight o'clock.
Eight o'clock was already very late at the beach, but he was still lying there lazily and didn't want to move. He lay there for a while, and when he guessed that Chen Yongwei had put away the trap, he got up and walked outside.
When Zhou Ruonan saw him coming out, she said loudly, "The food is warm in the pot, take it out and eat it yourself."
"Oh!" Li Changle took the handkerchief, "Where are the children?"
Zhou Ruonan stood up and stacked the finished traps together. "I went to the dock with my mother and sister-in-law. They said they were going to the beach to take a look and pick up my brother and his family."
"Oh!" Li Changle thought of his elder brother who was already bald when he passed away in his previous life, and he couldn't imagine what he looked like when he was young.
He also thought about taking all the jars at home and burying them tonight. When he comes back from Lucheng, the people in the village shouldn't pay so much attention to him, right?
After he finished his meal, he carried the mining tools Zhou Ruonan had prepared and walked towards the grove.
The villagers he met on the road greeted him enthusiastically and asked him where he was going to fish in the sea. It seemed that they wanted to go with him to share in his good luck.
After hearing Li Changle say that he was going to dig sand for his mother-in-law, she gave up the idea of going with him.
When he arrived at the grove, he saw Chen Yongwei and Afa in the grove, both holding ground traps in their hands.
Seeing him coming, Ge Changfa waved at him, "Can't you walk faster? You're not a rich lady, why are you walking so slowly?"
"I don't have any place to hide, why am I walking so fast?" Li Changle walked over with a smile, "You are here to steal my territory."
"Hurry up!" Ge Changfa smiled and stuffed the trap into his hands. "Everyone says you have good luck. Help me cast a net and see who is better, you or Awei?"
"It's easy to get the next network, one dollar a trip!" Li Changle said, spreading his hands and looking at him, "Give me the money, I'll go right away."
Chen Yongwei looked at the two of them with a smile, "Yes, Wang Laobian also gave money to help him last time."
"Fuck, you are obsessed with money!" Ge Changfa raised his hand and hit Li Changle's palm.
Li Changle quickly retracted his hand, "Since we are acquaintances, I'll give you a pack of Red Eagles."
"Okay, okay, I'll buy it for you." Ge Changfa pushed him towards the shallow water, "Give me some big blue crabs, don't just buy a bag, I'll buy you one."
Ge Changfa laid a total of 18 traps, about ten of which were brand new. He told the two that Ah Xiu had bought the materials and made them herself during this period, and the others were given to him by his father.
The three of them were laughing and joking as they set up the traps. When they were washing their feet by the water, Chen Yongwei told him that they had caught a few yellow croakers, two sole skins, some mantis shrimps, and five blue crabs, the big ones weighing 80 to 90 taels, and two of them had roe.
The two decided not to sell today's crabs, but to raise them and keep the rest for themselves.
The three of them put on their shoes, carried their backpacks, and chatted all the way as they walked towards the mudflat. After passing the muddy beach, they arrived at the mudflat.
When they arrived, there were already a few people digging sand clams here. They didn't look like people from the fishing village. Their movements were not skilled at all and they were covered in mud. Li Changle walked forward with the bucket, scanning the surroundings with his eyes like radar, and picked up a few sand clams.
This thing also has a beautiful name, Xi Shi Tongue. It is said that after Xi Shi helped Gou Jian to conquer Wu, she was tragically drowned in the river. She died but did not die, and turned into a sand clam. The clam flesh was shaped like Xi Shi's tongue, so it was named Xi Shi Tongue.
After picking up a handful of sand clams, I stood up and saw jumping fish in the distance, leaping and dancing on the mudflats like martial arts masters.
Thinking of the delicious jumping fish, he planned to go to the dock to buy two pounds to stew tofu.
The fresh jumping fish stewed with tofu tastes so delicious, the fish meat is tender and fragrant, smooth in the mouth, and the soup is fresh and rich. There is also a wonderful cooking method, which is smoking and roasting with rice straw.
The smoke is continued until the skin turns black and oozes oil, and then it is exposed to the sun for two days. The smoked dried jumping fish is cooked with pickled mustard greens, which is fragrant and delicious.
Li Changle's mouth was watering as he thought about it. He decided to buy it at the dock when he got back. He hasn't tasted it since he came back!
At this time, he saw two or three meters away from him, layers of soft and fluttering tentacles were stretched out, blooming like sunflowers in the puddle.
He hurriedly stepped forward and kicked forward to block the sand's escape route. At the same time, he reached in and picked it up. After taking a look at it, he put it into the bucket with satisfaction.
Go ahead!
Li Changle continued to search with the bucket. Today's main goal was sand mullets. She would dig as much as possible and pick the fattest ones to send to her mother-in-law.
Not bad, he found another one, but it was not that big when he dug it up. He turned his head and found another one, which was as big as an air vent of the big toe nail. Based on his experience, there must be a dragonfly living underneath.
Li Changle took out a shovel and with one shovel, a dragonfly that was more than ten centimeters long and thicker than an adult's thumb was scooped up.
There is a piece of soft flesh on it, which is the dragonfly's nose.
The nose of a dragonfly is an organ in its digestive system. When the dragonfly is hungry, the crystal rod will automatically dissolve into food to satisfy its hunger.
After digging up one, he dug up a few more nearby. He heard someone talking behind him. He turned around and saw that it was A Lai's wife and several women from next door carrying buckets of water behind him. There were other people following them.
"Haha, A Le Tao Hai!" A Lai's wife asked with a wry smile, and the others also smiled awkwardly.
"Hmm!" Li Changle hummed and ignored them, looking for sand on the mudflats. In a shallow puddle, he saw an octopus moving its tentacles and crawling quickly towards the sea.
He reached out and grabbed it, put it in the bucket, and continued walking forward, picking up a few blood clams, some flower clams, and found a sand crab.
Li Changle bent over and picked at the sand, wiping the sweat off his face with the back of his hand, thinking that he had been here for more than an hour and had only gotten so little. Could it be that he had used up all his luck yesterday?
A Lai Sao and his gang who followed behind him felt that following him was about the same as before, and they did not find as many things as before when they were wholeheartedly searching the sea.
"Forget it. There are more muddy ponds than there, and I didn't find anything good after following them all the way."
A young man walked up to Li Changle and took a look at the catch in his bucket. "It's not even as much as what I caught. Why do you all say you're lucky? If I had known, I wouldn't have come to the mud flats with you."
"Haha!" Li Changle laughed dryly. "Fuck you, I didn't ask you to come with me. Whether you find good stuff or not is none of my business."
It’s best not to follow me, so that I can go to the small treasury in the cave more conveniently.
The young man was confused and looked at him in confusion, "My little sister didn't follow you, so I followed you."
Li Changle was too lazy to say more to him, so he waved his hand and said, "Get lost, if you follow me again, I will not be polite to you."
"I'm too lazy to follow you!" The young man left angrily.
When A Lai Sao and her gang saw Li Changle driving them away with a dark face, they thought that the mud pit ahead was deep and difficult to walk in, and they would not be able to find anything good by following him, so they turned around and left.
Chen Yongwei and Ge Changfa came over with buckets of water, "Brother, how much sand have you dug?"
"That's all!" Li Changle put the bucket on the ground. "What about you? Did you find any good stuff?"
"No wonder those people left!" Chen Yongwei put down the bucket with a smile, "Your finds are not as good as mine." He picked them up and said, "Two blue crabs, a dozen sand crabs, some dragonflies, sand clams, blood clams..."
"Haha," Ge Changfa laughed proudly, "You two can't even catch up with me. Look, these three blue crabs and sand crabs are all big..."
"Yes, it would be a pity to sell such a fat sand bream. It would be perfect for me to give it to my mother-in-law as a gift." Li Changle said as he fished the sand bream from his bucket. "You don't have to buy the Red Eagle."
"Fuck, you're making such a big calculation!" Ge Changfa pointed at him and said in a strange voice.
"You stingy guy, come on, come on, and get to work." Li Changle smiled and picked up the bucket, and the three of them continued to search for their target on the mudflats.
The further they went, the deeper they sank. Ge Changfa began to back out. "It's too hard to go. Let's go to the rocky beach at the east end and dig oysters to eat at home."
"If we go that way diagonally, we won't sink when we get there."
Chen Yongwei pointed to the southeast, and rolled up his trouser legs to his thighs. "There is a large rock there. The oysters on it are much larger than those in the east. There is also a large puddle. There should be some good stuff there."
