Chapter 5 Pick up sea duck eggs!
Su Yunman's breakfast is fish and rice porridge. The milky white fish slices and rice grains are soft and delicious. There are two poached eggs in the bowl.

Su Yunman watched her sister Su Yunxue secretly swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva when she pushed aside the poached eggs, but she still put the delicious meat and eggs into Su Yunman's mouth.

After a week of observation, the Su family was quite poor.

A family of five lived on this somewhat old semi-large fishing boat. The cabin was deep and divided into three cabins.

The one on the far side lived with his father Su Genliang and his mother Xu Xiumei, and in the middle lived her and Su Yunxue. The other end was used as a utility room, and a hammock was hung beside it as the residence for the second brother Su Haichao who returned from vacation.

In addition, the Su family also has a small boat about [-] meters long, which is usually used by Su Genliang to go fishing.

Every day at one or two o'clock in the morning, Su Genliang goes out to sea with his small fishing boat to fish, and when he comes back in the afternoon, he sells the day's harvest to the fish merchants waiting on the shore, and feeds the whole family in this way.

Su Yunman ate more than half a bowl of porridge in a short while, leaving a poached egg and half a bowl of porridge, and refused to open her mouth again. She pushed the bowl to the elder sister's mouth, signaling Su Yunxue to eat.

Su Yunxue was stunned for being deceived, and then said with a smile, "Xiao Man is so good. In the afternoon, I will go to the bank at the foot of the mountain to pick up sea duck eggs, and I will give them back to Xiao Man to eat."

When Su Yunman heard that she was going to pick up sea duck eggs, she was overjoyed, "I'll go too."

Su Yunxue originally wanted to refuse, but when she thought that her younger sister had become smarter, she could definitely take her out and meet more people, so she had to give her more opportunities to make friends.

"Okay, let's go together, but you have to promise to listen to your sister, understand?"

Su Yunman nodded happily in agreement.

Su Yunxue combed her younger sister's hair, held an empty bowl in one hand, and carried her sister out of the cabin with the other.

She hesitated for a moment, and tied Su Yunman to the boat with a straw rope.

"You are basking in the sun on the blanket, I will clean it up first."

Su Yunman looked at Su Yunxue's actions helplessly, and knew that this was the safest way, so she would save herself from running to save others.

The spring sun is moist and warm, and the distant mountains are like Dai.

In the sparkling light, the wind blows across the sea, like a layer of gold leaf.

Su Yunman was lying on the deck, basking in the warm sun, letting go of her thoughts.

Lunch is mixed seaweed and grilled fish. The fish is the leftover from Su Genliang's sale yesterday.

Both Xu Xiumei and Su Yunxue ate corn bread with sorghum noodles, but only Su Yunman had fish and rice porridge in front of him.

Su Yunman thought as she ate, how great would it be if there were duck eggs with red hearts that were dripping with oil!

There are many seagulls by the sea, and more sea ducks. In this season of the year, many sea ducks go to the shrubs on the shore to lay eggs and hatch ducklings.

I was supposed to go to pick up sea duck eggs in the morning, but these days I have been busy catching sea in the morning, catching crabs, picking up conch, mussels, etc., so I was delayed.

And there was no stock at home, so Su Yunxue wanted to try her luck and retrieve duck eggs so that she could replenish Su Yunman's body.

She put on her straw hat, untied the sampan, untied Su Yunman and hugged her, and tied her to the sampan again.

Su Yunman secretly slandered, protested quietly, and then lay down in the cabin and closed her eyes.In fact, she had already entered the space, took out a green fish food from the cave, threw it into the koi pond, and said to herself, "Pick up more duck eggs, pick up more duck eggs, pick up more duck eggs!"

The colorful koi in the koi pond happily swam over, swallowed the fish food in one gulp, turned around a few times, and saw that Su Yunman had no intention of throwing any more fish food, so she swam away with her tail wagging.

"I haven't been here this afternoon either..." Su Yunxue was uncertain, "I don't know if I can pick it up."

Su Yunxue didn't go to the place where she often picked up duck eggs, but rowed a boat to Changcui Island, which was a little farther away from home.

There are many islands in the East China Sea, and many smaller islands without names. This larger island is evergreen all the year round, so it is called Changcui Island.

There were not too tall and dense trees on Changcui Island, but recently the rain has been heavy, and the weeds and shrubs have grown a lot more luxuriantly.

Su Yunxue jumped down first, pushed the boat ashore, then turned around and carried Su Yunman off the boat.
