Reborn in 1994, escaping from marriage and going sea fishing, I won!

Chapter 20: A Surprise at the Beach on a Cloudy Day

Just as she reached the door, Liu Meilan saw Grandma Wang carrying a bucket and the iron tongs she used to change the coal briquettes. "Grandma Wang, are you going to the beach?"

When Grandma Wang turned around, she saw Liu Meilan, whose eyes were narrowed with laughter. The wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were like blooming chrysanthemums.

You can see the traces of time, but you can still vaguely see the appearance and charm of youth.

"Yes, there is a high tide today, which is perfect for fishing. Maybe we can find something good. I have nothing to do at home, so I'll go out and have some fun."

Liu Meilan pursed her lips and chuckled, "What a coincidence, Grandma Wang, wait for me, we can go together and have a companion."

After all, Grandma Wang is old. If she slips, there will be someone by her side to take care of her.

"Okay, okay, I'll wait for you." Grandma Wang smiled. She usually could only live with other old ladies.

These old ladies don't mean any harm, but they just have annoying mouths.

If she picked up something good, these old ladies would be jealous; if she didn't pick up anything good, these old ladies would laugh at her.

Isn’t the reason these old ladies like this because they have no sons to bully?

She has only one daughter, who is married and lives in the city. She can only come back once before the Chinese New Year or other holidays.

I used to have a nephew, but now he has also gone to the city.

When people get old, they are no longer useful.

Liu Meilan's arrival made Grandma Wang's home lively.

Grandma Wang used the ingredients Liu Meilan brought back, as well as what she bought and grew in the fields, to make delicious food.

There were two people at the dinner table, someone was talking, and Grandma Wang seemed more energetic than before.

Liu Meilan not only carried a bucket, but also a snakeskin bag.

Grandma Wang took the pliers and Liu Meilan used a sand shovel, and wearing raincoats, the old and the young talked and laughed as they went to the beach together.

On the way, we also met other old ladies, old men, and young women in the village.

If you can find good stuff, sell it and make some money.

Even if you don’t pick up anything valuable, you can pick up some oysters, spit out the sand, and make all kinds of food.

There are also those small crabs that we pick up to make crab sauce.

In short, the sea is generous.

As long as people are willing to pick up the items, they will never go home empty-handed.

Because Grandma Wang was old, Liu Meilan accommodated Grandma Wang's pace and walked slowly, and did not follow the crowd.

Seeing this, Grandma Wang said, "Meilan, don't worry about me. You are young. If you run faster, you can grab the good stuff."

Liu Meilan smiled and shook her head. "In crowded places, even if there are seafood, there won't be much for everyone. Grandma Wang, there are fewer people in the west. Let's go over there and take a look."

Grandma Wang nodded and looked at the crowd rushing together. "That's right. I can't squeeze past them. Let's just go over there and pick up some oysters. We don't need to squeeze with them."

The old man and the young man walked towards the west, where there were stones of different sizes.

"Grandma Wang, please stay on the flat place. I'll look for it in the cracks between the rocks." Liu Meilan walked briskly, carrying the bucket and jumping over the rocks.

"Okay, I see some small holes, they look like clams. Meilan, come here quickly, let's catch clams together." Grandma Wang said with a smile, and took out a plastic bag filled with salt from her pocket.

When Liu Meilan heard Grandma Wang's cry, she ran over, picked up a sand shovel and shoveled all the places where there were small holes nearby, revealing small round holes.

Grandma Wang poured the salt into the small hole and then just waited.

These clams will slowly crawl out, and when they are about three or four centimeters long, you can just pull them out with your hands.

"Grandma Wang, I'll go take a look over there." After helping Grandma Wang, Liu Meilan did not stay to pick clams, but chose to go to a place with more stones.

Grandma Wang smiled and said, "Child, you left all the easy work to me."

"Maybe there are better things over there!" Liu Meilan chuckled, picked up the bucket and the sand shovel and ran away.

After going around a big rock, Liu Meilan saw a puddle between two rocks.

Although the puddle was very turbid, Liu Meilan had sharp eyes and she saw several swimming crabs in it.

Liu Meilan used a bucket to pour out the water in the puddle. After more than ten buckets, the puddle was empty.

She quickly grabbed the shell of the swimming crab and threw it into the bucket.

Four big and two small, like a family of six with three generations.

Liu Meilan picked up the four big ones and put them into the bucket. When the sea water rushed up, she threw the remaining two small ones into the sea.

Be good! I will catch you when you grow up.

There were two snails in it, picked them up and put them in the bucket.

Liu Meilan walked forward and accidentally glanced at the beach and found many small holes.

This should also be a razor clam.

Liu Meilan shoveled away the entire piece, revealing a number of round holes.

She also brought salt and poured it into every hole.

After a while, clams popped out of the holes one by one.

The holes in the clams are relatively large, and the clams that come out are long and thick. If you eat them, they must be plump and delicious.

Liu Meilan happily reached out and quickly grabbed the clams and threw them into the bucket, just like playing a game of catch-a-mole.

Liu Meilan was having a lot of fun. By the time Grandma Wang arrived, she hadn’t finished picking up all the trash!

Grandma Wang shook her head and laughed. Although Liu Meilan usually appears strong, she is still a girl who has just reached adulthood after all.

The only thing that allows a person to escape from a home that is like a cage is a desperate spirit.

In Liu Meilan's eyes, work like digging clams is a fun game.

"Grandma Wang, come and help me quickly. After we catch the clams, I'll take you to find some good stuff over there."

Grandma Wang waved her hand, "No, I'll just keep going! Maybe I can find something good!"

Not long after walking out, Grandma Wang exclaimed, "Meilan, come here quickly, there are good things here!"

At this time, Liu Meilan had finished catching clams and rushed over with a bucket in one hand and a sand shovel in the other. "Grandma Wang, what's that? Ahhh...it's actually moon shells! So many!"

It is very big and white in color. When you hold it in your hand, it is bigger than the palm of your hand.

This thing is not sold by weight but by number. Anyway, a moon clam the size of a palm costs one dollar each.

There is no idea how many there are in this large area.

Grandma Wang and Liu Meilan picked up the trash quickly, and soon, Grandma Wang's bucket was full.

Grandma Wang felt a little regretful, "If I carry the bucket back, those old ladies will know there are good things here!"

Liu Meilan chuckled and took out the snakeskin bag. "Grandma Wang, this is what you found. I'll lend you the bag. I'll help you carry it back later."

Grandma Wang looked at the full bucket, then at the snakeskin bag. It was so full that she couldn't carry it.

She thought for a moment and said, "Meilan, how about this? Let's put the things we caught at the beach together and sell them when the time comes. We can split the money equally, okay?"

"No, Grandma Wang. This way I'll be taking advantage of you too much. After all, it was you who discovered the moon shell." Liu Meilan shook her head. She could find more good things in the future, so there was no need to take advantage of the old lady.
