Chapter 490 Those who drown will die
"Open one for you?!"

Wen Shi, who came back with a coconut, asked with a smile. Yi Chichi glanced at him up and down and shook his head, "Drink it when you get home. You don't even have the tools to open a coconut."

She also didn't think she could split a coconut with her bare hands.

The shell of this thing is really thick. Without some skills and strength, it is really difficult for ordinary people to open it.

But when she smelled it, she opened a coconut.

Of course, it was not chopped open with bare hands, but with a dagger.

Looking at the coconut handed to him, and then at the sharp dagger in his hand, Yi Chichi's mouth twitched, "Have you always hidden the dagger on your waist?"

"nor."

Today is a special case. I had something to do after training and didn’t have time to take it off.

When I was done with my work and was in a hurry to go home, I kept it with me.

"Drink quickly."

He handed the coconut over, Yi Chichi took it and took a sip. The juice of this fresh coconut, just picked from the tree, was clear and transparent, with a refreshing taste and a light fragrance.

It tastes great and is thirst quenching.

However, she was six months pregnant and her belly was a little big, so she didn't dare drink too much water for fear of having an emergency.

So, after taking a few sips, she handed the coconut to Wen Shi and said, "Don't throw it away after you finish drinking it. Take it back."

"What are you doing?"

There's no use keeping an empty shell.

When I heard it, I was confused while holding the coconut.

"Eat the coconut meat. It's a waste to throw it away."

That is, if you don't have butter, as long as you have butter, you can use coconut meat to make coconut flakes.

Wen Shi said "oh" and Dun Dun drank all the water, leaving the coconut shell behind.

Then he reminded her, "You stay here, I'll go see mom and the others."

The tide is about to rise, so we should quit while we're ahead.

Otherwise, when the tide comes, people will be trapped on the reefs, which would be very troublesome.

"it is good."

Yi Chichi nodded and watched Wen Shi go up to the reefs to meet up with He Yunsong and the others.

The distance was quite far and the sea breeze was strong, so unless you spoke at the top of your voice, you couldn't hear what they were saying.

When she saw this, she picked up something like a shovel and began to squat down to pry the oysters on the rocks. She retracted her gaze and began to scan the surroundings like a searchlight.

Then, she found a small puddle next to the reef. She went over to take a look and saw a large and beautiful purple scallop. She was excited and bent over to pick it up.

Another sea urchin was found, hiding in the crevice of the rocks like a ball of thorns.

This is good stuff.

Unfortunately, the distance was a bit far and I couldn't reach it with my arms, so I gave up and waited for Wen Shi to come back and pick it up.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Wen Shi and the others finally came back.

Mother Wen came to Yi Chichi with empty hands and a smile on her face, "My dear, we picked up a lot of abalone today. I will make you abalone roast pork tomorrow."

"it is good."

She responded with a smile, pointing at the sea urchin and said, "Mom, there is a big sea urchin over there."

Wen's mother dislikes sea urchins and she doesn't like to eat them.

But Wen Shi liked to eat it, so he waved his hand and said, "Xiao Shi, go and dig out the sea urchin."

When he heard this, he said "oh" and went over with the basket to pick up the sea urchins.

At this time, the tide had begun to rise, and the group of people no longer coveted the seafood on the beach, but went home.

If we meet people along the way who don't have enough awareness of the dangers of high tides, we will yell at them to hurry up.

Don't try to race against the tide, you can't win.

Most of them listened to the advice and left as soon as they were yelled at.

But there are always strange people. For example, a woman refused to go ashore and said she could swim. "All those who drowned were good swimmers."

Mrs. Lei didn't show any curiosity and started to retort, "Old Chen's family, come here quickly, otherwise you will be swept away by the sea and no one will be able to save you."

Everyone started to persuade him, but he was still hesitating.

Comrade Lao Lei couldn't bear to see this and yelled at the top of his voice, "If you don't come up, I'll ask your Lao Chen to write a self-criticism and report it to the whole army."

The threat was quite fierce and Mrs. Chen was frightened.

She picked up the basket and ran over here, shouting, "Come up here, Chief, please don't let Lao Chen make a self-criticism."

He Yunsong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and whispered to Wen Shi, "You still care about Lao Chen a lot."

Yi Chichi and Ji Jian exchanged glances and smiled without saying anything.

Can you not care?
The whole family depends on Deputy Captain Chen for support. If he ruins his work, the whole family will be left with nothing.

Mrs. Chen is just greedy for some free seafood, she is not stupid.

Be able to distinguish between one meal being full and another meal being full.

This is also the reason why Mrs. Chen immediately chased after him when she was threatened.

As soon as she ran over, she sighed, "I didn't catch anything."

Mrs. Lei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Who told you to come late?"

People had been picking up things for a while before she came. All the good things had been picked up, so it would be strange if she could pick up too much.

"Come early next time when the tide is high, and you'll have a good harvest."

As she spoke, she glanced at Mrs. Chen's backpack, which contained a lot of shellfish and two medium-sized fish. "Are your fish fresh?"

Don’t eat it if it’s not fresh, as it may cause problems.

“Fresh.”

Knowing what she was worried about, Mrs. Chen smiled and said, "They were still alive and well when I found them."

It is highly likely that he is not dead now, but it is hard to say when he gets home.

But it doesn’t matter, this little bit of time won’t affect anything.

Besides, the temperature now is not as high as in summer, so it won’t deteriorate so quickly.

"Xiao Yi, why are you here?"

Yi Chichi smiled and replied, "I'm bored staying at home, so I came out for a walk."

"You have to go out for a walk. It's not good for your health if you don't move with your baby."

As she spoke, she began to complain about her husband, "When I was pregnant, Lao Chen didn't have the conditions to allow me and the baby to join the army, and my mother-in-law didn't have the conditions either. I had to do everything at home, it was really hard."

These words really touched the hearts of Mrs. Lei and the others.

They began to recall the hardships and fatigue they endured during their pregnancy.

Yi Chichi didn't dare to respond. Compared with most of the sisters-in-law in the family compound, she was the one who had never suffered any hardship or fatigue, and was loved by her husband and mother-in-law, which made it easy for people to break down.

Therefore, the best thing to do is to keep silent and not compare your own happiness with the suffering of others.

As the person being criticized, Lao Li and others also dared not say a word.

Because they all owe a great debt to their families, wives and children.

They are unqualified as children, and equally unqualified as fathers and husbands.

No matter what, what the lesbians said is the truth. At this time, it is actually a good thing to lie down and let them vent their dissatisfaction and complaints.

So, a group of people arrived home listening to Mrs. Chen and the others' complaints and grumblings.

After Wen's mother came into the house, she poured herself a glass of water and then directed Wen Shi to get a large wooden basin.

Yi Chichi sat in a chair, stunned as he watched them pour the abalone from the basket into the basin.

“Such a big abalone?”

She thought that the abalone nest discovered by Wen's mother and the others contained small and worthless abalone, but she never expected that it contained large abalone with three or two heads.

"There are small ones that we are too lazy to pick up."

As Mother Wen was picking abalone, she said, "I don't know where this nest of abalone came from. I went there before to pry oysters and never found abalone. But today I found it. I thought I was seeing things."
