Going to the countryside in the Northeast, educated youths became popular in the village with embroi

Yi hesitated to give it, "Mine is spicy."

"I'm not afraid!"

He An straightened his body and said in a loud voice, "I'm awesome!"

The kid, who had never eaten chili peppers before, didn't know what was so good about it.

She looked at Zhang Xin and asked, "Give it to me?"

Zhang Xin nodded, "Let her eat!"

It doesn't make sense. A child who has never tasted peppers doesn't know what they taste like when they put them in their mouths.

Only when she experiences it once, and cries from the spiciness and pain, will she remember it.

Know that you can’t eat random things.

Zhang Xin's answer made Yi Chichi a little confused. She looked at the old man again. The old man took the teacup and drank water, muttering that the shrimps were not baked well.

Yi Chichi understood it.

This means don't care.

She passed the shrimp to He An's mouth, "Try it first, don't be in a hurry..."

Before he could finish his words, the little girl had already anxiously snatched up the whole shrimp and stuffed it into her mouth.

Then--

"Bah bah bah!"

Her little face wrinkled up and she vomited, then she burst into tears and cried out that her mouth hurt.

"Drink water!"

Zhang Xin, who was well prepared, handed over his teacup, which contained warm water instead of hot water.

He An took a few sips from the cup to suppress the spicy taste in his mouth. Then he pouted and complained, "Mom, the shrimp bit my tongue."

"It's not the shrimp biting my tongue, it's the spicy chili that hurts my tongue."

Zhang Xin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he hugged her and kissed her, "Do you want to eat chili next time?"

"Don't eat."

This girl holds a grudge. When she heard Shi bring people back, she rushed over, hugged his legs and started to complain again.

Knowing that she was burned by the chili pepper, Wen Shi picked her up and said softly, "Can I help you beat the chili pepper?"

The little girl immediately looked at him like a fool, "Uncle, you are worse at coaxing people than my dad."

She argued, "The pepper is not a person, it won't hurt if you hit it."

They were speechless when they heard this, while Lao Li and the others burst into laughter.

"Look, your brain isn't even as good as that of a little girl!"

"Don't mention it, Xiao An is smarter than her father."

It's well-reasoned and clearly organized.

I also know that peppers don’t hurt.

Listening to their banter, Yi Chichi felt that these men were not very smart.

The steamed buns and rice were steamed early in the morning, and the fish and scallops were put into the pot at a scheduled time.

A few minutes after Wen Shi and his friends came back, Wen's mother announced that it was time to eat.

The children came to help on their own initiative after school. When they heard that dinner was about to start, they immediately started setting up chairs and getting bowls and chopsticks.

After spending several months in the sea to clean themselves up and even having no time to cut their hair, Lao Du and his friends were in a somewhat dizzy state of mind.

Fortunately, I have strong self-control and no big problems occurred. I just like to tease children.

It made several people cry.

Seeing that they were still trying to tease He An, Wen Shi could no longer bear it and carried the baby to Yi Chichi's table. Then he returned to his seat and said unhappily, "That's enough, watch out, or Old He will come back and fight with you!"

Lao Du sighed, "I'm afraid of him."

Lao Lei angrily said to him, "Don't be too arrogant. If you are too arrogant, someone will punish you."

As he spoke, his eyes kept looking towards Wen Shi.

Lao Du got his reminder, and after two seconds of silence, he took a skewer of barbecued meat and stuffed it into his mouth. After chewing and swallowing, he was amazed, "Auntie, this meat tastes really good."

Authentic pork belly, fat but not greasy, lean but not dry, with a slightly charred surface, and very spicy when you take a bite.

“It’s really delicious.”

Old Li and his friends gave the same evaluation and even encouraged their daughters-in-law and Wen's mother to learn the craft.

Ji Jian and the others were too lazy to pay attention to them. Wen's mother was even more honest, "This is not my credit. I was responsible for buying the meat. Washing and cutting was the job of Xiao Ji and the others. Marinating and seasoning was the job of Chi Chi. Grilling was the job of Xiao Zhang and the others."

The people who were named straightened up silently, as if to say, "That's right, we have also made contributions, and we should praise them together. What's the point of praising one person alone?"

Seeing their wives' performance, Wen Shi and the others looked at each other and started praising their wives.

The people without wives felt very full, but the dishes were too rich, especially Lao Du and his friends who had just come out of the sea. Even though they were full of dog food, they still felt hungry.

Because there were too many people, we had to eat at separate tables.

There are three tables for men and two tables for women and children.

The men drank and chatted while eating. After eating, Ji Jian and her friends took the children home first, and the children did their homework.

They have to work the night shift.

He An is young and had played all day without taking a nap. Now that he is full, he starts to feel sleepy and keeps clamoring to go home.

Zhang Xin and his grandson then took her away and said goodbye.

So, only Yi Chichi and her family and the men were left in the house.

Lao Du and the others must be very upset and have a lot to say.

The conversation started out normal, until -

"I still think it would be a waste not to create those islands."

What a great resupply point.

It's painful to look at it just lying there.

Yi Chichi pricked up her ears. Were they the islands she knew?

Lao Li took a sip of tea and said, "Don't think about it now, wait until later."

Wen Shi glanced at him and said nothing.

Lao Lei whispered, "Don't you have any ideas?"

"What do you think?"

Mother Wen rolled her eyes at him and said, "What can you do now? You can't do anything. Just guard the coastline first."

Food should be eaten one bite at a time and the road should be walked one step at a time. Even a three-year-old child understands this principle.

"Just like Lao Li said, wait and you will get a chance."

What belongs to them will be taken back sooner or later.

Temporary frustration is nothing, "We are looking at the future."

"The future..."

Lao Du murmured, then sighed, "Yes, there is still a future."

This topic is not very pleasant.

Instead, it makes people feel quite heavy.

So, Wen Shi changed the subject and said, "You guys go directly to the small dark room later. Doctor Zhou and the others will be here around eight o'clock."

Old Li looked at the time and found that it was already past 7 o'clock. He urged, "Have you finished eating? If you have, hurry over. Don't keep Dr. Zhou and the others waiting."

"I've eaten!"

The few of them did not hesitate. They stood up quickly, thanked Yi Chichi and Wen's mother, and left happily.

Doctor Zhou and his men are the most important in the world, and we have to rely on them for psychological counseling. If we don't adjust well, problems may arise next time we go out to sea.

This is irresponsible to myself and my brothers.

So, hurry up and see Dr. Zhou and others.

As soon as Lao Du and his friends left, Lao Li and his friends, who had also finished their meal, stood up and helped clean up and prepare to leave.

Wen's mother and Yi tried to stop them but failed. The men who were good at clerical work cleaned up the tables, chairs, pots, bowls, and other items very quickly.

The only kitchen waste left are bones, there are no leftovers.

After everyone had left, Wen Shi opened his arms and hugged his mother, "Mom, you've worked hard today!"

"It's not hard for me. Xiaoji and the others came to help in the morning."

Besides, it’s not like this every day. It’s a rare occasion, so it doesn’t matter.

"You talk to Chi Chi, I'm going to take a shower first, I stink."

The clean-loving mother Wen turned around and left. She urgently needed to take a shower and change clothes. It didn't matter when there were many people around, but now that there were only her family members left, the smell on her body was really bad.

When Wen Shi saw this, he shouted, "Do you want me to fetch you some water?"

"You don't need to."

Wen's mother refused. Wen Shi looked at Yi Chichi who was sitting on the chair and came over. "Wife, are you tired?"

"Not tired!"

Yi Chichi took his hand and sat down. He looked around and saw that there was no one around. However, he couldn't hide his curiosity and asked about the island.

This is not something that cannot be discussed; all the fishermen on the island know it.

Therefore, Wen Shi did not hide anything, but told her in detail the locations of several islands and the conditions on the islands.

Yi Chichi, "..."

Wow, it really is those islands.

"Have you considered developing it?"

Wen Shi was silent for a while, then nodded, "We have discussed this topic, but it won't work in a short time."

It really doesn't work.

There is still a long way to go, but this does not stop her from comforting him, "There will be a chance." (End of this chapter)
