Chapter 37 Patience only lasts a week
Zhou Fang was suffering from kidney stones. After leaving the hospital, she planned to go home and rest for two days.
After leaving, there were only three teachers left. Principal Wang finally asked Jing Xiaoran to agree to take over the class.
Zhuifeng Island is located in eastern China, where the days are short and the nights are long, in order to allow the children to get home safely.
Zhuifeng Primary School has three classes in the morning and two in the afternoon, and ends at 3:30.
After school, Zhao Xiaoying asked excitedly, "Teacher Xia, have you crossed the sea?"
Xia Mi shook his head, "None" recently
"I guess you haven't been to the sea before. Let's go to the beach in the afternoon to see if there are any good things. If you are lucky, you can make eight or nine yuan."
These words touched Xia Mi's heart. She had never been to the beach since elementary school.
"Okay, will the seaside be far away?"
"It's like five or six kilometers. If you have a car, don't worry. How about we ride there and back?"
When Xia Mi first heard about five or six kilometers, his brows instantly furrowed and then relaxed again.
"Okay, but I don't have any tools. Do you have many?" Xia Mi then asked about tools.
"Yes, several of our teachers have them. Sister Zhou Fang is not here, so I will use hers and you can use mine."
After solving the problem of tools, Xia Mi packed up and followed Zhao Xiaoying to the dormitory to get the equipment.
The teachers' dormitories are very simple, with three people per room, a one-story stone house, and poor indoor lighting. They have to use flashlights to find things even during the day.
When I got to the beach, I found that there were already many people bending down on the beach to catch the sea.
This beach is much bigger than the one Xia Mi went to before, three or four times as big, and you can't even see the end of it if you look over it.
Xia Mi locked the car, put on his bucket boots, and put on gloves. He had a small bucket in his left hand and a two-tooth rake in his right hand. There was also a pair of fire tongs in the bucket.
"Teacher Zhao, I haven't seen you for a long time."
As soon as I approached, someone greeted me. The woman was wearing a headscarf and looked over with squinting eyes due to the strong sea breeze.
"This is Teacher Xia, mother, you are so pretty. Don't be swept away by the waves if you are so thin."
Zhao Xiaoying introduced, "This is the mother of He Yuanyuan in my class, and her son is He Chengjie in your class."
Xia Mi nodded, and the moment he lowered his head, he was attracted by the big octopus in the bucket. Its tentacles were moving around in the bucket, and it was attracted to the bucket.
“What a big octopus, can you catch this one too?”
When I watched the video before, I thought it was the blogger who was cheating, but I didn't expect that such a big person could be caught. Xia Mi's eyes widened.
"Why can't you? There are still people who are catching bigger ones. I won't delay you any longer. Let's do it quickly. It will get dark in a while."
Only then did Xia Mi notice that there were clumps of black things on the beach here. They looked like hair from a distance, making people's skin crawl.
Zhao Xiaoying noticed Xia Mi who was in a daze beside her, followed her line of sight, and smiled.
"This asparagus is always available at the beach. It looks scary, but it actually tastes good when eaten cold. You can take some back."
Zhao Xiaoying knelt down and pulled a big handful.
[Asparagus detected, today’s price is 6 yuan/jin]
"Why is it still there today?"
[System: Because everything obtained by the host traveling to the sea will be reprocessed and sold in later generations, the price is based on the latest market price in 2024. 】
Xia Mi was surprised that the system was the middleman.
The price of asparagus was still too low, so Xia Mi bent down and looked for others on the beach.
Zhao Xiaoying was also passing on her experience in catching the sea, "Teacher Xia, the light blue ones you encounter are nudibranchs with almost transparent bodies. You can't pick them up with your hands. They will bite. It's best to pick them up with your hands." Colander.”
Triggering the keyword, the system's voice sounded again.
[Aplysia detected, today’s price is 22 yuan/jin]
[Cat's eye snail detected, today's price is 15 yuan/jin]
... After dozens of types were detected in a row, Xia Mi's brain almost exploded. The system finally said, [The prompt sound can be turned off. 】
She almost cursed out loud, didn't she tell her earlier?
"Close close close..."
While Xia Mi was digging sand, he kept silently thinking about closure.
Under the leadership of Master Zhao, and with the massive amount of videos he had watched before, Xia Mi got started very quickly, and his efficiency was even as good as Zhao Xiaoying's.
Waves hit the shore one by one, and time passed by.
When Xia Mi got up again, it was getting late and the number of people at the beach had been reduced by half.
"Teacher Zhao, it's getting late. Let's stop here today." Xia Mi took off his gloves and slapped his sore waist.
Zhao Xiaoying stopped and said, "Okay, let's go to the front. These can be exchanged for a lot of tickets and money."
"Teacher Xia, why do you have so few things?" Zhao Xiaoying came over and looked at Xia Mi in surprise.
She seemed to remember that Xia Mi also caught a lot of them.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Naturally, Xia Mi would not say that she would just let the system recycle it while she was catching it. The recycling price of the supply and marketing cooperative here was far lower than that of the system. She was prepared to recycle a third of it to cope with the situation, and let the system recycle the bulk.
She smiled awkwardly and said, "It's my first time. I'm not very handy. It's normal to have few things. Let's go over and line up."
The supply and marketing cooperative has special people who are responsible for collecting these at the beach, and now there is a long queue.
When it was Xia Mi and Zhao Xiaoying's turn, it was already dark, and Xia Mi only changed five yuan.
When Xia Mi was about to arrive home, it was already dark. After pedaling for nearly ten kilometers, her legs were shaking due to the big sea project.
She looked at the last slope going home, worried that the slope would slide halfway through the ride, so she got off the bike and pushed the cart away.
She thought it would be difficult, but it was inexplicably relaxing. She looked back in surprise and saw that Huo Jingchen's eyes were dark and the expression on his face was very light.
“You came back so late, where have you been?”
Xia Mi glanced around and noticed the sweat on the man's forehead. According to the time, he got off work early and was waiting at home. Could it be that he was looking for her so late?
"I went to catch the sea with Teacher Zhao after get off work. Look, I brought some back."
Xia Mi opened the bag hanging on the handlebar and showed it to him.
Huo Jingchen waited for two hours after coming back from get off work, and then set off to school but couldn't find anyone.
He was originally filled with anger, but after seeing her opening the bag seriously and showing a proud and playful look, his heart softened and he was unwilling to get angry at all.
"Go home for dinner."
Without the bulky bicycle, Xia Mi followed behind, feeling relaxed.
-
The consequences of excessive exercise include tossing and turning in the middle of the night and severe soreness in the calves.
"What's wrong?"
Xia Mi complained softly, "Maybe it's because I exercised too much today, which made my calves sore."
"It only hurts after ten kilometers, you're so delicate." Huo Jingchen said in disgust, sat up and turned on the flashlight, lifted the quilt and held Xia Mi's legs.
Under the illumination of the flashlight, her skin was as smooth as mutton-fat jade, so delicate and smooth that people couldn't put it down after touching it.
Xia Mi was frightened at first, but then was conquered by the man's techniques, lying on the bed and enjoying it.
"Why do you still have massages?"
"My grandma is sick and her calves are atrophied and she needs regular massage. I have learned more or less from this." Huo Jingchen said in a relaxed tone.
The man's rough palms rubbed against the delicate skin, making it itch a little.
Xia Mi squinted his eyes, quietly enjoying himself, not noticing the man's increasingly dangerous look.
In the dark night, Huo Jingchen's eyes darkened, her throat rolled up and down, and her breathing became heavy.
"Xia Mi, how long have we been married?"
Xia Mi turned around in confusion, "It's been a week, what's wrong?"
"It seems that my patience is only one week."
