In his thoughts, Zhou Xiaochuan looked at the time.

It's 1:30 pm.

He asked, "Uncle Quan, when will the tide ebb in the afternoon?"

"The tide went out at noon. It has been out for more than an hour, and it is estimated that it should be over by now."

Zhou Xiaochuan was overjoyed when he heard the words, it was a coincidence.

Thinking that he was here to play, he took out the contents of his bag.

Two pounds of brown sugar and ten pounds of rice...

In this era of scarcity, whether you are at the seaside or in the countryside. Brown sugar is in short supply.

So this 2 catties of brown sugar is quite expensive.

As for the ten kilograms of rice, it is naturally the food of several people.

"Uncle Quan, there is nothing good, just accept the two catties of brown sugar." After he finished speaking, he handed him the ten catties of rice and a bottle of Erguotou.

"Uncle Quan, I'll take the little guy to the beach for a while, and let's have a drink in the evening."

Looking at the brown sugar on the table, Uncle Quan felt a burst of joy.

Brown sugar is not so easy to get in fishing villages, although it is not like the farmers who cultivate the land, they completely rely on raising pigs and chickens to exchange for some other tickets.

But the monthly ration is much less than that in the city, about one-third of the urban hukou.

This has to say that there is a special existence in the account.

"By farmers".

Farmers in rural areas are called agricultural households, and people in cities are called "supplier households", also known as commodity grains.

Another type of people is a special group, that is, "economic households", who do not produce food.

Same as those that grow sugar cane and tea, cotton and the like.

If you don't produce food, then you must not eat food.

So this kind of person is given a supply card with a ration of rations and some other things, so that the rations can be bought from the food station. There are more guarantees than in rural areas.

But much less than urban hukou.

Therefore, "economic households" are half a level higher than "agricultural households", and half a level lower than "supplier households" with urban household registration.

Of course, this statement is also a private statement, and the actual hukou is still an agricultural hukou.

Just one more supply book.

With 2 pounds of brown sugar, Uncle Quan is naturally happy, and now the children can drink brown sugar again.

Immediately waved his hand: "Okay, no problem, you just go to play. You can eat directly when you come back in the evening."

As for rice, he knew that it was the ration of several people. After all, his family didn't have that much rice to eat.

After he finished speaking, he thought of something and said, "If someone asks you, say it's a distant relative of my family."

This is also to prevent accidents.

During the whole process, Zhou Xiaochuan was communicating with Uncle Quan, while Yang Yuemei and the three of them looked at the surrounding houses curiously while listening.

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded naturally.

After borrowing a few wooden barrels from the other party, they walked towards the beach.

The last time I came was at night and it was cold.

It was summer when this came, and the scenery was completely different.

The shore was full of weeds and groves, and from a distance it looked like a golden sandy beach with the sun shimmering on it.

Look to the left, the reef area, there are a lot of stones.

On the right is grass overgrown with reeds. Also don't know what it is. On the far right shore there is a large mangrove forest.

Some figures could be vaguely seen moving slowly inside.

I have seen the video of catching the sea in the previous life, and it is estimated that these people are going to catch crabs.

No wonder there are not many children in the village, they all came here.

Yang Yuemei and Zhou Xiaohe are better, but the little guy is already too excited, so he has to go down quickly.

Arriving at the shore before going down to the beach, there are some clothes and shoes scattered all over the place. Shoes are basically straw sandals.

Zhou Xiaochuan glanced down, and further down, there was the beach and mud.

"Take off your shoes and leave them here." After speaking, he pointed to a low tree next to him.

The little guy took off his shoes impatiently and threw them to Zhou Xiaochuan, and Sa Yazi was about to run down.

Zhou Xiaochuan hurriedly grabbed the other's braid.

"Can't wait a while."

Xiaomi heard the words lightly. Waiting for a few other people to take off their shoes.

Yang Yuemei also took off her shoes and hung them on the tree, "Xiao Chuan, is this okay? I won't lose them."

"It's all right!" Zhou Xiaochuan and Zhou Xiaohe took off their shoes and walked downstairs with their buckets in hand.

It was a muddy road when we just came down.

After walking over, it is all soft fine sand, and the feet are very soft on it.

The beach just after the low tide is very clean, and there are no plastic bags and glass bottles everywhere. Only occasionally fell wood, roots and branches that had been soaked and blackened by the sea.

And the broken canoe in the distance half sunk in the sand.

When I came to the beach, Xiaomi had already run away. And Yang Yuemei hurriedly followed behind.

Zhou Xiaochuan did not run after him.

The receding sea water is still far away from here, and it is two hundred meters to say the least. As long as you don't go into the water, it's not a big problem.

Then he looked at Zhou Xiaohe next to him.

Only to hear the other party inexplicably spit out a sentence:

I'm listening for the last time

The noise of your mourning, the noise of your calling.

You are my heart's desire!

I am always along your shore,

One wanders silently and dazedly,

I was also distressed and heartbroken because of that secret wish!

How I love your echo.

…

"Snapped…"

"Oh, brother, what are you doing...why are you hitting me!" Zhou Xiaohe, who was immersed beside him, suddenly felt a pain in his head.

Then he glared at Zhou Xiaochuan.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaochuan said nonchalantly, "Who did you learn this from? What a mess?"

"Brother, do you understand? This is poetry? Pushkin, a famous foreign poet, wrote the sea! What he means is the pursuit of light and the eulogy of free thoughts and feelings."

Seeing Zhou Xiaohe's expression, Zhou Xiaochuan rolled his eyes.

Now junior high school, high school and college students, do not read a few foreign romantic poems, do not write a few poems of their own.

I am embarrassed to say that I am a cultural person.

"Zhou Xiaohe, I've never seen you read books on this subject, where did you read them?"

Zhou Xiaochuan is a little strange, he usually doesn't allow him to buy this book.

Hearing his brother's words, Zhou Xiaohe hesitantly said, "It's my classmate! I'll take a look at it occasionally."

Zhou Xiaochuan touched his forehead when he heard the words, and glared at him. "Don't watch it in the future, do you know that this is going to happen?"

Better this year.

Try it next year.

Thinking of a TV I watched back then, a girl sang a song "Hawthorn Tree", and the result...

After speaking, he looked at him with contempt, "This poem is the last time I face the sea. You just came here, and this is the first time you see the sea. Do you feel like reading this?"

When Zhou Xiaohe heard the words, his face flushed, and he hesitated to speak.

"Brother...Brother...Where's the crab? Where's the conch? Nothing at all?"

In his thoughts, the little guy ran over and said dissatisfiedly.

Zhou Xiaochuan smiled when he heard the words, the crab was already lying in the sand by this time.

"It's hidden! I'll take you to find it!" After that, she took her to a place with water and began to look for it.

It is estimated that it has been searched again, and nothing can be seen on the bright side.

But if there is a mind, no matter how deep it is hidden, it cannot escape.

With Zhou Xiaochuan's shovel going down, a sand crab came out of the sand.

This kind of sand crab doesn't grow very big. Generally, it is only the size of a coin, and the big one is no more than two coins.

"Hey, brother, there are crabs, there are crabs."

When I saw a crab running out, I immediately shouted excitedly.

I wanted to grab it with my hands, but I didn't dare.

But crabs won't wait for you.

"Hey, don't run!"

After watching the crab run out, the little guy quickly ran to the distance, and hurriedly chased after it.

I dare not use my hands to hold branches I don't know where to find them.

There it kept chasing.

Two minutes later, the little guy finally came back with the crab in his hand.

Why use your hands?

Because it has been sacrificed.
