Fast-paced era: a warm and leisurely life

Chapter 142 The Educated Youth on the Island 6

An hour later, the three young men returned, looking dusty and dirty.

Wu Dong, who was washing clothes, was shocked: "You...you fell into a trap?"

Zou Yuanlong, who was usually taciturn, grinned and said: "No wonder we were given such high work points. We had to carry all those stones by hand. We really couldn't hold on any longer."

Chen Zishi and Lu Jin also said weakly: "We can't do it anymore. If we continue, we will be paralyzed."

Wu Dong said with a look of relief: "Fortunately I didn't go. If the three of you couldn't do it, then I would be even less capable."

Thinking of the scene he saw during the dam repair, Lu Jin's tone was full of admiration: "There were quite a few female comrades there repairing the dam, carrying such large rocks."

Chen Zishi echoed, "Don't disbelieve me, what Lu Jin said is true. Those female comrades are much more powerful than the three of us. I won't talk to you anymore. We have to lie down for a while. We are in so much pain all over."

Gu Nuanyi went to the supply and marketing cooperative in the afternoon, and when she came back, there was a small water tank behind her.

No need to go to the well every time you need water, a full water tank is just enough for a day.

After finishing dinner early and locking the door, the group took their fishing tools and headed towards the beach.

The fruit trees along the road attracted Chen Zishi's attention.

"Wow! There are so many fruit trees, why don't you eat any?" He even wanted to jump up and pick one.

Sheng Weimao quickly stopped Chen Zishi and said, "Those are collective property. You can't just pick them casually. If you get caught, I will hold a struggle session without even listening to your explanation."

Chen Zishi withdrew his hand with an embarrassed look: "If we don't eat it when it's ripe, it will just rot on the tree. What a waste!"

"When they are ripe, the village chief will arrange for people to pick them and distribute them among people. Everyone can get one or two. The village chief has always been fair and just in this regard, but there is a prerequisite. You have to behave yourself. If you are a troublemaker and try to cause trouble, the village chief will really punish you!!! Remember, no matter what fruit trees you see on the roadside, you cannot pick them, even if they are rotten on the tree!!!"

The group nodded honestly: "Oh!"

When she got to the beach, Gu Nuanyi still found a deserted place.

Spreading out his mental power, he continued to pick up seafood, and never let go of anything he saw.

After shoveling around on the beach and turning over rocks, he soon had a bucket full of them.

After filling a bucket, pour it into the space. Although there is one more step, this experience makes Gu Nuanyi unable to stop.

If it weren't for the high tide, she would have wanted to live by the sea.

If she is given time, she can clean up the whole beach!!!

Seeing others find one now and then find another

But she couldn't dig anything up. Ke Sihui was so angry that she threw the shovel in her hand to the ground: "Ah! Why can't I dig anything up?"

Wu Dong: "Don't worry, be patient. If you can't find any on the beach, look for them in the cracks between rocks. I found a lot of conchs in the cracks between rocks."

Ke Sihui said with disdain: "Conchs are not valuable, and they don't count for many work points."

"This is our first time fishing, so it's good enough if we get anything. Don't be so picky!"

"Ah!" Huo Miao cried out in pain, then threw her hand away suddenly, only to see a large crab clamped tightly around her finger.

“Help…Help!!!”

The kind-hearted aunt nearby grabbed Huo Miao's hand and pressed it into the sea water. After a while, the crab let go of its grip and quickly slid away.

"Ah!! It ran away!!! I got caught in vain, no, I have to catch it!!!" Huo Miao rolled up his sleeves and ran towards the crab.

Then my hand was caught again...

The people around her looked at her in a state of confusion, thinking that she was such a strong girl, but in the end, she got her hand pinched twice by the same crab.

Finally, with the help of a kind aunt, I was able to catch the crab into the bucket.

Huo Miao gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not going to hand over this crab! I want to eat it!!!"

On the other side, Gu Nuanyi, who had been away from the crowd and acting alone, had almost dug up all the sand on the beach and between the rocks.

The wooden barrel was filled one after another, and when it was full, Gu Nuanyi sent it to the ocean in the space.

I also caught a large lobster that was washed ashore in the sea.

As long as the forearm

Gu Nuanyi looked at the big lobster and slurped her saliva: "I have never tasted such a big lobster before."

The lobster seemed to sense some horrible aura and started to struggle violently.

Gu Nuanyi swallowed her saliva faster: "It's so strong, the meat must be firm!!!"

After carefully checking the surroundings and seeing that no one was paying attention to this place, he quickly put the lobster into the space.

Of course you have to enjoy such a big lobster all to yourself!!!

A wave came up and brought a lot of seafood to the beach.

The newly-educated youth who were going to the beach for the first time shouted excitedly: "Wow! There are so many! Pick them up quickly, pick them up quickly!"

Gu Nuanyi did not go up to pick up the fish, but instead looked closely at the sea, wondering when to go out to sea for a big harvest.

"Wow!! I'm back! I'm back!!!" The cheers of the islanders interrupted Gu Nuanyi's thoughts.

Following the direction pointed by the islander, a ship was slowly approaching the island.

Gu Nuanyi approached the crowd and asked curiously, "What's coming back? Are there new educated youth?"

Sheng Weimao said with envy, "That's the fishing boat coming back from the sea. If the weather is good, you can earn two or three hundred yuan from a sea voyage!"

Lu Jin asked with shining eyes: "Wow! Then can we go out to sea too?"

Sheng Weimao shook his head: "There are not enough places for the locals to go out to sea, so it's hard for us educated youth to go. The weather on the sea changes rapidly. If we encounter a typhoon or a storm, we may not be able to come back. It's better to pick up some seafood! Although we don't earn as much as they do, it's safer!!!"

"How could it be such a coincidence? They would definitely check the weather before setting out on the ship. If they encounter storms every time, the islanders will definitely be the first to not want to go out to sea. We, the educated youth, are the only ones who live on this island. How come it's not our turn?"

Jiang Yongyuan, who was one of the first educated youth to arrive on the island, said: "I can tell you this. Because the first group of educated youth wanted everything after getting on the ship and did not obey orders, almost everyone on the ship could not come back. After that, the village chief rarely arranged for educated youth to go out to sea. But the village chief was okay. He did not hold the rest of us back because of that person. At least our work points and the things we were allocated were the same as those of the islanders."

Sheng Weimao: "So we should just go fishing. If you really want to go out to sea, you can charter a boat yourself!"

Everyone looked at each other, wondering who had the money to charter a boat to go out to sea...
