Chapter 355: My goodness, these old gentlemen all have extraordinary identities

Anyone who often goes sea-catching knows that the fun of sea-catching lies in picking up strange and interesting little things anytime, anywhere.

Especially in the scorching summer, stepping on water by the sea, finding seafood like treasure in the sand, in the crevices of stones, and under the reefs, is just as happy as picking up money on the road.

It was Pei Yao's first time sea-catching, her first time picking up beautiful shells and catching cute little crabs herself.

This novel experience kept her in a state of excitement all morning.

After sea-catching, Xiao Hai took her to a nearby shed to teach her how to process fish, shrimp, and crabs.

Because the things she caught were relatively small and scattered, they finally decided to make a pot of seafood porridge.

Perhaps because it was seafood she caught herself, it tasted exceptionally fragrant.

After a short rest, in the afternoon, Xiao Hai took her to the reservoir to fish.

"Sister Pei Yao, although our Sea Island is surrounded by the sea on all sides, we also have our own freshwater reservoir inland..."

Xiao Hai patiently explained to the other party while leading the way.

"So you have freshwater resources; I thought it was very difficult for you people living by the sea to drink water."

Pei Yao learned something new after hearing this explanation.

When she was in the Capital, she used tap water and never worried about water sources.

In the hospital, it went without saying; not only were there tap water washrooms, but there were also dedicated boiler rooms for boiling water.

On the way to the Sea Island at the beginning, the use of water on the train was very tight.

She had wondered if the use of water on the Sea Island was also very tight, after all, seawater couldn't be drunk, and drinking too much seawater would be unbearable for the body, accelerating dehydration.

It turned out she had thought too much; there were freshwater resources on the Sea Island.

"I heard from my grandfather that freshwater resources were very scarce in the past. Many of us used that distillation technology to collect the distilled water formed by the atomization of water on the pot lid, but this kind of water was hard to come by, wasted firewood, and wasn't enough."

Later, we used many ways to extract freshwater resources, but for various reasons, it was all a bit strenuous.

Later, we built reservoirs to store rainwater, and gradually, freshwater resources became abundant, so drinking water wasn't so tight."

Xiao Hai had answered this question more than once, so he answered it with ease.

After about half an hour, Pei Yao was still wanting more after hearing the story.

The two arrived at the side of the reservoir and saw many elderly people fully armed and already fishing by the reservoir.

Not far from the shore, two spirited old people were holding bamboo poles in their hands, carrying a bundle of nylon rope on their shoulders, patrolling back and forth unhurriedly.

"Those are the forest guards of our village. On one hand, they guard the mountain forests near this reservoir to prevent fires."

"On the other hand, they guard the reservoir; if someone unfortunately falls into the water, they will promptly step in to save them."

Xiao Hai said proudly, then took Sister Pei Yao to a place where the water was shallow, "Sister Pei Yao, you wait a moment, I'll go find you a stool to sit on."

"Okay, thank you."

Pei Yao was shocked by the vast and boundless reservoir scene, so she responded "okay" to whatever Xiao Hai said.

A breeze brushed across the water surface, ripples shimmering.

The center of the reservoir was a bit dark, which should be relatively deep.

Occasionally, one or two naughty fish would leap up, drawing a beautiful arc in the air.

Then, with a splash, they would fall into the water and continue swimming freely.

For anglers who love fishing, this was undoubtedly a provocation.

"This fish is really arrogant, watch how I catch it."

"Stop bragging, look, you're still empty-handed until now?"

"So what if I'm empty-handed? Being empty-handed has nothing to do with you, stop being a busybody!

Mind your own business, you only caught one fish, what's there to show off?"

"Alright, alright, stop arguing, you're making me annoyed. The fish was about to take the bait, but it was scared away by your arguing."

More than ten meters ahead, a group of anglers was chattering non-stop.

Others were used to it and continued their work like old monks in meditation, completely ignoring those people.

After watching, Pei Yao thought that this group of old gentlemen was truly old but vigorous, and each of them had a fiery temper.

But when this group of grandfathers took off the straw hats on their heads, who did she see?

Pupils earthquake!

My goodness, these old gentlemen all have extraordinary identities!

Almost all of them were subjects who could be seen on the news and interviewed!

Rubbing her eyes, rubbing her eyes again!

She hadn't seen wrong, it really was them!

Figures that even a doctor like her could recognize were actually fishing here!

And they almost fought!

Alive, they were really alive, this group of people was really...

"Hey, little girl, you come and judge, you say we..."

Pei Yao was named, but she didn't dare to make a sound, her hands shaking violently.

Grandfather, Sister, I've made it, I've seen real ones...

"Sister Pei Yao, don't mind those grandfathers, they just like to bicker."

Xiao Hai came back, bringing two stools, panting, obviously having run quite a bit.

Pei Yao turned her head stiffly, looking at Xiao Hai in disbelief, and asked in a way that she couldn't handle:

"Xiao Hai, do you know them?"

"I know them, they are all old gentlemen who retired to the Sea Island to recuperate. I often see them at Sister Manman's house."

Xiao Hai nodded and answered truthfully.

Actually, one should thank these old gentlemen; it seemed that they had put forward some constructive suggestions, and then the brigade leader and some leaders here took them seriously.

Then their village gradually built some factory buildings, and some elders, after screening, could go to work in the factory buildings, and the conditions of every household gradually improved.

The adults at home had instructed them that in the future, they should be polite when they see these old people; whatever the other party asks, they answer, and whatever the other party needs, they give if they can.

It's just that sometimes he couldn't understand that these old gentlemen had some temperaments like little children.

They wanted to compete in fishing, compete in sea-catching, compete in picking fruit; anyway, no matter what they did, this group of people had to compete for the top!

Although he didn't understand, he expressed respect.

Pei Yao was completely speechless now; how could she say anything?

Judging by Xiao Hai's tone of introduction, this group of old gentlemen was very familiar with Sister Shen Man.

By extension, did it mean that this group of old gentlemen also had some relationship with her brother-in-law?

Let's not think about it for now, let's fish first. Since she was already here, if she didn't catch a few fish to take home, she would feel uncomfortable.

"Sister Pei Yao, wait a moment, I'll help you bait the nest first, sprinkle the feed first, otherwise there will be no fish taking the bait later."

It had to be said that Xiao Hai was very professional and had some understanding of the current fishing methods.

"Okay."

Pei Yao had originally just come to experience it, but seeing Xiao Hai's professional posture, her unyielding heart was stirring... ===== CHAPTER 356 =====
