Chapter 146 Sea
Six carriages were galloping along the road.
Their mule carts and ox carts had long been replaced.
"Sleep a little longer! It's still half a day away!" Qiao Mu patted his sore waist from sitting to comfort Yu Baibai.
"Mom! Let's stop and take a rest~"
Qiao Mu pursed his lips and was about to shout when Yu Yaozu outside shouted:
"Anyway, we're just out here to have fun. There's a forest up ahead. Let's go there and rest for a while."
The carriage stopped at the edge of the woods.
The family got out of the car and stretched their muscles.
In addition to Yu Baibai's family, Yu Baibai's capable employees also came this time.
It can be said that this trip is a welfare. Who doesn’t like traveling at public expense?
The adults took out water and food and distributed them to everyone.
"It's still cool in the woods!" Aunt Zhang exclaimed.
"Yes! This is my first time playing with you all!" Boss Yu took a deep breath.
"That's not what it is!"
"Who of us had the time to go out before?"
Everyone rested and chatted under the tree, enjoying this moment of tranquility.
"Build a stove and we'll have lunch here!"
Yu Baibai took his apprentices to dig wild vegetables around, while the adults started to get busy.
Some went to pick up branches, some went to fetch water, and some were building stoves.
The stove is actually just an iron rack. You can put the pot on it and use it. You can fold it up and put it directly under the carriage without getting in the way at all.
Yu Baibai looked this up online, drew it, and had the blacksmith make it.
It is convenient and practical. Now they always bring it with them whenever they go out and cook it themselves. It is cheap and filling!
They now have ice cubes and other things that are very convenient to use, and you can make them yourself without any trouble.
Today they stewed two chickens and took some potatoes.
Yu Yaozu took the lead in cooking. Soon, smoke rose up and the aroma of lunch filled the air.
Everyone sat together and enjoyed the simple and delicious meal.
The sounds of laughter and conversation intertwined together, making the forest full of vitality.
Finished the meal quickly.
The afternoon sun shines through the gaps between the leaves, forming patches of light.
Yu Baibai and his group of young people were playing in the woods, chasing butterflies and birds.
There were even a few people playing Landlord...
The adults walked in groups of three or five, enjoying the natural scenery.
Yu Yaozu and Qiao Mu walked side by side along the small river by the road, feeling the breeze on their faces.
They came to a stream where clear water was flowing.
Yu Yaozu squatted down, scooped up a handful of water and splashed it on his face. The cool feeling refreshed him.
"It's so beautiful here. We can come here often in the future." He turned to Qiao Mu and said.
Qiao Mu smiled and nodded, his eyes full of happiness.
Fortunately, their whole family is here, fortunately, fortunately...
The group continued walking, passing through the woods and coming to an open meadow.
The grass is full of various wild flowers, colorful, like a gorgeous painting.
Everyone stopped to watch and take photos.
The young men were running excitedly among the flowers, collecting fresh flowers and making wreaths.
At this time, white clouds floated in the sky, as if within reach.
Yu Baibai looked up at the sky, his heart full of longing for his future life.
In this beautiful time, they forget all their worries, leaving only awe of nature and love for life.
At that time, transportation was slow and letters were far away.
She missed her grandparents and grandma very much, and she was afraid that this letter of hers wouldn't be delivered to them...
It would be great if I could go back and take a look, even for just one day!
I don’t know if any of the Liu Lili bullied grandma, and I don’t know if my grandparents are in good health.
Are the jujube trees in grandpa’s yard ripe now?
"Girl! Let's go!" Yu Yaozu and Qiao Mu shouted beside the carriage.
Yu Baibai came back to his senses and trotted back, "Hey! I'm coming!"
The breeze blew, and Yu Baibai's shadow was stretched very long, as if it was going to grow to that time and space...
After walking across the vast grassland for another two hours, they arrived at the yard where they stayed by the sea.
Standing in the yard, Yu Baibai pointed upwards and said to Yu Yaozu who was carrying luggage nearby:
"Dad! This yard needs renovation! Look, the thatch on top has been blown away by the wind."
Yu Yaozu, who was busy moving the tent, nodded in response:
"Okay, okay, okay! Dad got it! I'll go clean it up in a minute."
She looked around and found some old furniture and miscellaneous items in the yard.
Qiao Mu was cleaning the yard and Yu Baibai went forward to help.
He filled a wooden basin with water, took a rag and went into the house to wipe the kang mat.
This is where Yu Yaozu and his family live. In addition to this yard, the several yards at the back are also theirs.
There are no fishermen on this beach. You have to walk another forty miles south to see a fishing village with twenty or thirty households.
Yu Baibai and his team have already bought the yard here, which saves them a lot of trouble.
Yu Yaozu put down his work and came over to help.
The father and daughter worked together to move the old furniture aside and clean up the clutter.
Before long, the yard became fresh and clean.
"Dad, let's go for a walk on the beach later!" Yu Baibai said happily as he looked at the cleaned yard.
"Okay!" Yu Yaozu agreed with a smile, "I'll go after I put these boxes away."
Yu Baibai nodded and started to pack other things.
There is a fishing net hanging against the wall, which looks like it has been repaired.
They now have four boats, and they can make back their investment with just a few catches. It's not like before when there were few catches near the coast.
Going out a little now will pay off!
There are so many fish, shrimps, crabs and so on!
They are not fishermen. They learned how to row a boat on the spot, and they use fishing nets to catch whatever they can.
Very good attitude!
The seafood they catch will be put on ice and then sent to Yujia Market. The price is relatively cheap, so everyone can buy some to satisfy their cravings.
After all, by following the Yu family in the past few years, everyone in the surrounding villages has been able to earn some money.
Their Yu Family Compound has driven the economic development of the entire county!
Live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the sea, then of course you should eat seafood!
Grilled squid and other dishes are very popular among everyone!
They are now sold on the street.
However, grilled squid is only sold on the two days after the salvage team returns, so it is in short supply!
Sometimes I would go to the fishermen to collect some fresh fish or dried fish.
They can all be sold at the market, or in several counties. The profit is not much, just the difference in price.
It can help the fishermen generate income, which is much better than letting them dry the fruits and wait for the dealers to bargain down the price!
Yu Baibai walked out of the house, took a deep breath, and the salty sea breeze blew in her face.
She closed her eyes and felt the breath of the sea.
Yu Yaozu walked out of the room, saw his daughter's intoxicated expression, smiled and patted her shoulder.
"How's it going? Do you like it here?"
"Yeah!" Yu Baibai nodded vigorously.
"I feel so free and comfortable here, the sea!"
Yu Yaozu was eagerly waiting to hear his daughter's next words!
Who knew she blurted out:
"You're all water!"
"puff!"
