Chapter 197 Acquiring Seafood
Seeing that Sister-in-law Yu's attention was entirely on her, Su Nuannuan asked.

"Sister-in-law Yu, what's wrong?"

Sister-in-law Yu shook her head and replied with a smile.

"Nuan Nuan, your hands are very steady. You will definitely be an excellent doctor in the future."

Previously, Su Jinjin and Su Mianmian had boasted to the people in their residential compound that their younger sister had been admitted to the clinical medicine program at Beijing University. Everyone who heard the news was shocked.

Compared to the surprise of the residents of Hongqi Village, the people in the family compound understood even more clearly the value of a degree from a Peking University graduate. This was no longer just holding a secure job; it was a golden opportunity.

Su Nuannuan smiled but did not answer.

After the two women peeled all the shrimp, Su Nuannuan began preparing the ingredients for the dish. Su Nuannuan directed from the side while Sister-in-law Yu and Jiang Youning cooked the dish themselves.

It wasn't that Su Nuannuan was lazy, but rather that she felt she could only truly learn by doing it herself.

Aunt Yu often cooks at home and picks it up quickly. She does exactly what Su Nuannuan says. Soon, the fried shrimp balls are ready.

Jiang Youning was rather clumsy, and Su Nuannuan could tell at a glance that she was spoiled at home. In the end, Sister-in-law Yu couldn't bear to watch anymore and helped Jiang Youning make the braised crab pieces.

Both of them brought large bowls with them when they arrived. So, after the food was cooked, they simply ladled it into the bowls.

To thank Su Nuannuan for her guidance, the two of them specially saved some for her.

Both of them were happy when they left.

Sister-in-law Yu said to Su Nuannuan.

"Nuan Nuan, when your mom comes back, tell her to ask me to go beachcombing together."

Su Nuannuan nodded and answered with a smile.

"Okay, I'll tell my mom."

Jiang Youning held Su Nuannuan's little hand, somewhat reluctant to part, and said.

"Nuan Nuan, I'll come visit you again tomorrow."

Jiang Youning grew up on an island, surrounded by dirty-looking boys. Upon first meeting Su Nuannuan, a sweet and gentle girl, Jiang Youning immediately felt a sense of closeness and wanted to be her friend.

Su Nuannuan was also happy to be friends with Jiang Youning. There wasn't much to do on the island, but being with Jiang Youning might bring her some fun.

Therefore, Su Nuannuan accepted Jiang Youning's invitation.

"Okay. Come over tomorrow afternoon and take me to see the island."

Upon hearing Su Nuannuan's words, Jiang Youning immediately made a promise.

"I know some fun places on the island. I'll take you there tomorrow."

After seeing the two off, Chen Xiuting returned.

Chen Xiuting's face was full of joy, and the bucket she was carrying was already filled with seafood. In addition to shrimp and crabs, there were also some small fish and shellfish.

She was delighted to see Su Nuannuan.

"Warm, there are so many of these things. On the island, they were like freebies, and I picked them all up and put them in the bucket."

Su Nuannuan wasn't surprised at all.

At this time of year, the beach is practically deserted. And since it's an island, there are even fewer people.

The people on the island don't really care about these beach toys.

Seeing Chen Xiuting happily picking up the fish, Su Nuannuan suggested, "Mom, the islanders go fishing at night. They trade their catch with nearby villagers and the military for goods and money. If you like these things, we can trade some tomorrow."

Chen Xiuting hesitated for a moment. These seafood dishes did taste quite good, and Su Nuannuan had suggested yesterday that they all be dried and taken home to eat.

Although these things aren't worth much here, Chen Xiuting thinks they taste almost like meat. Besides, her little girl says these seafood products are very nutritious and good for your health.

Chen Xiuting also wanted to buy some seafood to take back with her.

Seeing that Chen Xiuting seemed somewhat interested, Su Nuannuan quietly waited for her to make up her mind.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Su Nuannuan saw Chen Xiuting clap her hands and say.

"Okay! Tomorrow, I'll go ask the people on the island how this was exchanged."

Chen Xiuting decided to switch to seafood because she was worried that there still wouldn't be enough food next year. She wanted to store more food at home. Her two daughters wouldn't need to worry about that.

These past few days, she'd noticed that her sons-in-law's salaries were all in the hands of her two daughters. What's more, both in-laws were quite wealthy, sending her plenty of food every month.

Chen Xiuting wasn't worried at all that her in-laws would mistreat her two daughters, after all, they had given them two sons each.

Although Mianmian and Yueyue are ill, as the saying goes, "the squeaky wheel gets the grease." Their in-laws will definitely dote on this little granddaughter even more.

Therefore, Chen Xiuting became even more concerned about life at home.

Seeing that Chen Xiuting had made up her mind, Su Nuannuan knew she would take action tomorrow. Feeling she couldn't help Chen Xiuting, Su Nuannuan took out two hundred yuan and handed it to her, saying...

"Mom, take this two hundred yuan. Exchange it for more seafood and bring it home."

Su Nuannuan is not short of money at all. She can earn money through translation now, making at least four hundred yuan a month.

Knowing Su Nuannuan's financial situation, Chen Xiuting didn't stand on ceremony with her. She took the money and said...

"Okay, I'll take the money."

Chen Xiuting had gotten used to Su Nuannuan giving her money from time to time. Chen Xiuting saved all the money Su Nuannuan gave her. If her family really had difficulties, she would use the money.

However, she would always tell her family afterwards that it was Nuannuan's money that she spent. Especially the three Su brothers, Chen Xiuting and Su Jianjun, hoped that they would remember Su Nuannuan's kindness.

After finalizing the seafood purchase, Chen Xiuting told everyone about it at the dinner table that evening.

Su Jinjin and Su Mianmian naturally had no objections. After Chen Xiuting arrived, the two of them learned that their family had been starving and barely had anything to eat last year.

The two women deeply regretted not paying more attention to their family. This time, even if Chen Xiuting didn't mention buying seafood, they were still prepared to let her take some food back with her.

Su Jinjin and Su Mianmian had no objections, and Cheng Qian and Wen Wuqi naturally followed their wives' lead and agreed with their opinions.

After hearing that they all agreed, Chen Xiuting decided to go to the island for a visit the next day.

Just then, Cheng Qian spoke up.

“The islanders usually fish at night. Early in the morning, they bring their fish to the dock to set up stalls and wait for the cooks from the army canteen to pick them out. If they don’t pick them out, they will take a boat out of the island to sell their fish in the nearby county town.”

Upon hearing Cheng Qian's words, Chen Xiuting immediately decided to go to the pier the next morning.

At this moment, Su Nuannuan also began to plan in her mind to buy some fresh seafood to put into her space.

Su Nuannuan preferred fresh seafood to dried seafood. Besides, her spatial storage had an insulation function, so she wasn't worried about the seafood spoiling.

Of course, she couldn't let anyone know she was buying the seafood. Su Nuannuan decided she would change her clothes and buy it secretly.
