Siheyuan: Walking the Path of Qin Huairu

Xu Huizhen was bragging a bit when she said this, her biggest reliance was space. She also said this to make Village Chief Feng feel at ease.

She rested for a while, and at about nine o'clock, she put all the seafood into the space. In the space, she prepared many wooden shelves with layers of partitions in the middle, so that the fresh seafood could be stacked layer by layer to avoid being crushed.

Then he took out the food he had prepared earlier and put it in the warehouse, and then he went back to the village chief's house. In those days, there were no entertainment activities, everyone went to bed early, and the whole village was very quiet.

She tiptoed into the east wing where Feng Hui lived. Feng Hui was already sleeping like a pig. Maybe because she had been too active today, she fell asleep as soon as she lay down and had a good night's sleep. She slept so soundly.

Hazily, she heard someone calling her to get up. She opened her sleepy eyes and told Feng Hui to stand by the kang. She nudged Xu Huizhen and said, "Cousin, get up quickly. The sun is shining on your butt."

Xu Huizhen got up and said embarrassedly, "Maybe I was too tired yesterday and overslept. Xiaohui, what time is it?"

Feng Hui said, "It's seven o'clock, sister. There are many children at the door asking you if you want seafood today. They want to go to the sea and exchange it with you for candy."

Xu Huizhen: "Yes, of course. How about this, two pieces of candy for a pound of seafood, what do you think, Xiaohui?" Xu Huizhen didn't know what the most appropriate exchange was. Anyway, she had candies rewarded by the system in her space, so she could use them all as a snack for the kids.

Feng Hui: "I think it's OK, I'll go tell them." Then she turned and ran. She ran to the door of her house and said to her friends gathered there: "My cousin said that one pound of seafood can be exchanged for two pieces of candy. But it has to be big and fresh, and no one can pass off inferior ones as good ones!"

"Got it, Xiaohui, let's go back and get the tools." After hearing the news, the children turned around and ran home to tell their brothers and sisters.

As a result, the children in the village immediately started to take action after these children told each other about it. Some young boys, who were originally going to school with their schoolbags on their backs, went home, dropped their schoolbags, looked for tools for catching sea urchins, and prepared to go to the beach to catch sea urchins. They really risked their lives just to eat candy.

Although Shawang Village is by the sea, it is still a long way from the village to the beach, and it takes about 20 minutes to walk. After Xu Huizhen finished washing and eating breakfast, she was not in a hurry to go to the beach. Feng Hui said that the tide had not receded yet.

Xu Huizhen took this opportunity to demonstrate to the village head and others how to plant kelp artificially. She encouraged everyone, saying: "If you can successfully cultivate kelp, you can also promote the cultivation technology to other villages, and you may even get great praise from your superiors."

The village chief frowned and asked, "If everyone grows kelp, can we still sell it if the yield is so high?"

Xu Huizhen said: "Kelp grows in seawater and cannot be grown in inland areas. Moreover, kelp is a medicinal herb. Eating it regularly can prevent goiter. The country is so big, the kelp you grow is not enough for food. Don't worry, I will buy it all if you can't sell it."

The village chief then nodded and said, "Then let's give it a try. If it doesn't work, you can come and teach us again."

When Xu Huizhen and Feng Hui arrived at the beach, it was already crowded. Of course, they were all children, and the older ones were all girls. In rural areas, boys were still valued more than girls, and many families did not allow girls to go to school. They stayed at home to look after their younger brothers and sisters and help adults with housework. Adults had endless work to do. Men went out to sea to fish, and women had to farm.

The only adult was Xu Huizhen herself, and she instantly felt like the leader of a children's group.

The tide had just receded, and most of the beach was still covered by the sea, so there was no place to go fishing. But this did not affect the enthusiasm of the children at all. They changed their playful state from yesterday and were concentrating on wandering around the beach. It can be seen that the charm of candy is really great.

Seeing Xu Huizhen coming, a little boy of about seven or eight years old came over dragging a large piece of kelp in one hand. He might not be familiar with Xu Huizhen. He glanced at Xu Huizhen, and finally set his eyes on Feng Hui. He asked eagerly, "Sister Xiaohui, do you want some kelp?"

Xu Huizhen saw that the two large kelps weighed about 20 to 30 kilograms. She thought she was going to lose money! The dried kelp she bought was only two cents per kilogram. This kid was really smart.

Feng Hui was not happy with this. She glared at the little boy like a cock with its feathers blown off. "Tiedan, can you please have some shame? You want to exchange this worthless kelp for candy? You are not beautiful, but you think it is beautiful!"

I thought Feng Hui was silly yesterday, why did she suddenly become so smart today?

Feng Hui is the child of the village chief, so she is well-known among the children in the village and her words carry weight. The little boy was a little shy and muttered in a low voice: "I'm just asking, if you don't want it, forget it, why are you so fierce?"

Feng Hui: "If you weigh these two kelps, they must weigh more than 20 kilograms. Do you want to exchange them for 10 candies? It's really hilarious." Seeing this, the little boy was not annoyed. After all, he just grabbed the kelp at the beach with his quick eyes and hands. It didn't take much effort. If he didn't want it, then he didn't want it. He threw the kelp on the ground and turned to leave.

Xu Hui really didn't want to discourage the enthusiasm of the children. These children were innocent and cute. She hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, your name is Tiedan, right? Since you have been dragged here, I can't let you work in vain. How about giving you two pieces of candy?"

"Really? Thank you so much, big sister!" Tiedan stared at Xu Huizhen with shining eyes. Xu Huizhen was carrying a backpack, which was convenient for her to take things out of the space without being noticed. She took out two candies from it and handed them to him. Tiedan took it, took out one piece swiftly, peeled off the candy wrapper, and put it in his mouth. He squinted his eyes and enjoyed the sweet taste with a happy look on his face.

He bent down again, spread out the kelp, and spread it flat on the beach, saying, "Put it here to dry in the sun, so you can be quick when you take it back." Emma, ​​this child is really sensible, it's obvious that he has done this kind of work a lot.

Looking at the other children, some were carrying buckets, some were carrying baskets, some were holding shovels, and some were carrying pickaxes. It can be said that they were like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers.

Some children saw the sea creatures rolling in the sea water, and they took off their shoes and stepped on the sea water to fish them out. The sea water was still very cold in this season, and the children were young, some of them were only about five years old, and they were not very stable when walking, but they followed their older brothers and sisters. If they were swept into the sea by the sea water, would she be responsible or not?

Xu Huizhen hurried over to dissuade them: "Don't go into the water. The water temperature is too low. It's not good for your health to stay in the water for a long time. If you catch a cold, you'll have to get injections and take medicine. Let's not rush. Wait until the sea water recedes. There will be plenty of seafood."

Feng Hui looked at one of the boys and asked, "Brother Dawen, why didn't you go to school today?"

The boy named Da Wen chuckled and said, "I have diarrhea today and I feel weak, so I'm asking for leave."

Someone nearby tried to sabotage him: "Come on, brother. You just skipped class and wanted to go to the sea to get some candy."

Da Wen gritted his teeth, grabbed a handful of sand and threw it over, "Er Wen, you are the traitor in the movie! You even betrayed your own brother, just wait and see how I'll deal with you when I get home!"

This caused the surrounding children to burst into laughter. Xu Huizhen looked at their baskets and saw that there were already some harvests, but not much.
