Su Yi picked up a pound or two of each and put them all in a bucket. Before leaving, she pursed her lips shyly and said, “Grandma said she would come to calculate the money later.”
“Hey, you’re still talking about this with Seventh Grandma!”
Seventh Grandma waved her hand and asked again: “Can you lift it? Otherwise, I’ll carry it with you.”
Su Yi hurriedly picked it up and took two quick steps, “No need. Seventh Grandma, Seventh Grandpa, I’m leaving first.”
Watching her slender figure go around the stone wall, Seventh Grandma sat down to work again. After a long time, she sighed: “What a good child. It’s a pity…”
Seventh Grandpa glanced at her, knocked on the pipe, and still didn’t speak.
Su Yi carried the seafood and walked home along the embankment.
The tide on the shore slowly receded, revealing a large area of fertile mudflats and reefs covered with various shellfish.
Large groups of seabirds circled to find food, and people who went to the sea kept bending over and busy.
Several children chased and played, splashing mud all over their bodies, causing adults to shout and scold loudly.
From time to time, vehicles passed by Su Yi. They were tourists who had played all day and were ready to go home.
There were also many people who chose to stay in a homestay for a night to taste the freshest seafood and got up early the next morning to watch the sunrise.
When she got home, the adults had already calmed down.
Grandma Qu took over the seafood, and Su Wanting helped.
Su Yi wandered outside the kitchen for a few steps but did not go in. She turned around and went to the yard to collect clothes.
Watching her walk away from the corner of her eye, Grandma Qu glanced at her daughter who was still silent.
Thousands of words were stuck in her heart, but she didn’t know how to say them. In the end, she could only let out a sigh.
In the evening, Grandma Qu cooked a table of her specialty dishes.
The staple food was mustard rice. There were also kelp and pork ribs soup, fresh fried oysters, spicy shrimp and crabs, conch platter, and a pot of mixed fish stew.
There was little salt and oil, and there were not many cooking skills, but it was so delicious that people wanted to swallow their tongues along with it.
After dinner, they arranged accommodation.
There were two rooms on the second floor. One of them was originally Su Wanting’s. Later, Grandma Qu was going to give it to Su Yi, but Su Yi liked the attic more, so the room remained empty.
Although no one lived there, Grandma Qu cleaned it every day, just waiting for her daughter to come back one day.
There were five people in the house today, so Xiao Xing and Xiao Yan, the father and son, could only live in one room. Su Wanting slept with Grandma Qu, and Su Yi still lived in the attic.
The summer night at the seaside was very cool. There seemed to be a bonfire party on the beach one kilometer away, and laughter blew into the window with the wind.
Purple fireworks suddenly bloomed in the sky, followed by the second and third ones. The explosion sounded two or three seconds later.
Su Yi leaned on the windowsill and watched, supporting her chin with her hands.
Before taking a bath, she casually put Mao Tuan in the hanging basket. Now it hasn’t come down.
At this moment, it was swaying from side to side in the wind, and its legs were trembling.
[Yi Yi, come and pick me up.]
It stretched out its short legs and looked down. Its hind legs trembled again and again, but it didn’t dare to jump down, so it had to ask for help pitifully.
Su Yi didn’t even look back, stretched out her hand, picked it up, and put it in front of her.
[Purple fireworks are the most beautiful, but there are too few of them.]
Mao Tuan also imitated her movements, supporting its chin with its two small front paws and looking up at its head.
“Su Xiaoyan said that this kind of fireworks from her store is the most expensive, costing several hundred yuan each, and only rich people can afford them.” Su Yi said casually.
Su Xiaoyan was her junior high school classmate. She was also from a fishing village. Her home was on the beach. Her family ran a stall selling seafood and various items needed by tourists, including fireworks.
Mao Tuan glanced at her and didn’t say anything.
After such a long time of being together with her, it had already known that the big devil was a real devil. Her strength was impeccable, but she was a little narrow-minded in some aspects, such as: poverty.
