Chapter 359: Her family's one is more like the reincarnation of a demon king

After Amei cleaned Lian Lian up, she came up with an idea—

"Let's go to the North Gate. A patch of sand was transported outside the North Gate; we can take the children over to pile sand."

"There are also people selling little turtles, little fish, and shrimp over there..."

"Then let's go to the North Gate. I'll go back to the room to get things. Amei, trouble you to carry Xiao Mantou and Xiao Nuomi into the stroller; the three sisters and brother will sit in the small stroller, and we will take turns carrying Si Si..."

"No need, I'll carry Si Si on my back, using the cloth pouch from my hometown, I guarantee it's sturdy, so the three of us can just push one small stroller each."

"That works too, it's just hard on you."

"It's not hard, I'm just here to work, this little thing is not worth mentioning."

Amei didn't feel it was hard; she took money to work, which was justified!

Sister Manman trusted her, so she couldn't let down this trust!

Her own man's monthly allowance wasn't a small amount; even if half was sent to the hometown, there was still half left!

She didn't think that after getting married, the man's allowance had to be handed over to her entirely, not allowing the man to help his hometown.

On the contrary, the relatives in the hometown also needed a way to live; giving half, fulfilling the kindness of raising, was what should be done.

When the younger brother in the hometown gets married, then there's no need to give; just give the old mother-in-law in the hometown pension money every year.

And the money she earns will also help her own family.

Her hometown, younger brothers and sisters, father and mother, also need to be supported!

Working, doing a little more, makes one feel at ease!

"Play!"

"Giggle."

Hearing "play," Lian Lian immediately stopped rolling on the straw mat.

Sure enough, acting spoiled didn't work, so she threw a tantrum!

Don't ask who taught her, don't say, don't say!

After the three of them simply tidied up, they pushed the strollers and took the four little cubs out to play.

Old Master Lu and Old Master Pei were rarely resting, both lying in rocking chairs and sleeping soundly.

The courtyard gate was covered, and there was a Tangyuan-brand cat cake on the roof, with the safety factor pulled to the max.

"Meow."

Tangyuan stretched, the weather today was truly good.

Family Courtyard North Gate—

I don't know when it started, but there were more and more fellow villagers setting up stalls here.

Now it had formed a small scale, not only with delicacies but also with practical woven items like straw hats.

"Sister, this hat is good-looking, do I look good wearing it?"

"It's okay, but this hat is not easy to match with clothes, change to that one next to it, it's more daily..."

"Okay, listen to you."

Pei Yao was quickly persuaded, happily trying on the straw hat her sister mentioned; and don't say, it was indeed more of a daily style.

"Fellow villager, how do you trade this?"

Pei Yan Ting saw her sister liked it and started asking for the price.

"Five mao."

The fellow villager setting up the stall looked around, confirmed there was no problem, and then secretly reported the price.

Wealth is sought in danger; he was also for the food of his whole family, so he dared to set up a stall.

"Okay."

Pei Yan Ting estimated the price, which was three mao cheaper than the supply and marketing cooperative outside the Sea Island, so she didn't bargain.

Next, Pei Yao also took a fancy to a wind chime made of shells; when the wind blew, it jingled, which sounded very nice.

Xiao Nuomi, Lian Lian, and Si Si all liked this sound, so Pei Yan Ting bought three more in one go.

Girls just like good-looking and nice-sounding objects!

Amei declined a few times, so she had to help her cousin accept it.

However, she wasn't a person who took small advantages; seeing someone selling whistles, she bought four whistles.

The rope was woven sturdily, hanging around the children's necks, not worrying about the children swallowing them by mistake.

The four little ones received the whistles and started tinkering—

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh."

"Shh shh shh."

"Fish fish fish."

"Pfft pfft pfft."

The vital capacity was different, and the sounds made were different.

With new toys, they were very well-behaved.

Not noisy, not making trouble, the adults all praised them for being well-behaved and cute.

Pei Yan Ting let out a long sigh, well-behaved?

Her family's one is more like the reincarnation of a demon king!

"Sister, come and see, there are turtles here!"

Pei Yao shouted in surprise, then carried Xiao Nuomi from the stroller, pointing at the little turtle in the basin that was about the size of a grape and said:

"Xiao Nuomi, look, turtle, turtle."

"Turtle?"

Xiao Nuomi is still so young, she has never seen a turtle before.

Just as she was staring with wide eyes, the stall owner corrected her with a smile:

"Little miss, this isn't a turtle, it's a sea turtle."

"Huh? What does 'little miss' mean?"

Pei Yao asked because she didn't understand; hearing this term for the first time, she was full of question marks.

"It just means a little girl, a female student, an unmarried little girl."

The stall owner shook his banana-leaf fan and introduced himself in a familiar, friendly way.

"This is a baby sea turtle, it just hatched not long ago, it's home-raised, you can use tap water..."

It's best if it's seawater, otherwise the baby sea turtle is easy to raise to death.

"This kind of sea fish has a tenacious vitality, and fish food is easy to make..."

A strange old lady nearby chimed in, muttering:

"So once it's sold, you take no responsibility for it, right?

Usually, parents buy them for children to play with, it's normal if they play them to death."

"Hey, old lady, I don't like hearing what you're saying. What do you mean it's normal to play them to death?

If you think like that, I can't sell my fish to you."

Although the stall owner wanted to make money, he made his living from the sea and had a sense of awe toward it.

Baby sea turtles, small fish, and shrimp are all children of the sea.

Moreover, he would always give a word of advice: if the children have had enough fun, it is best to release the baby sea turtles, small fish, and shrimp back into the sea.

Consider it accumulating blessings for the children; the sea will protect them.

It's just that these things can't be said too loudly; he could only hint and remind them in a low voice.

Most parents would release them; occasionally, if a child accidentally kills a baby sea turtle, small fish, or shrimp, it can only be said that it was heaven's will.

Calling him double-standard or hypocritical wouldn't be wrong.

He was just that kind of person—not soft-hearted enough, yet not hard-hearted enough...

"Hmph, if you don't sell to me, I don't want to buy anyway!"

The old lady snorted coldly, picked up her basket, and walked away angrily.

It wasn't that she wasn't angry, but her son had told her that if she offended anyone, he would immediately send her back to their hometown!

With that precedent, she wasn't willing to make a mistake and be sent back to the hometown...

"Fellow villager, how much for this basin of baby sea turtles and these small fish? I'll take them all, I'll go to the seaside to release them in a moment."

The one speaking was Pei Yao; honestly, she wasn't short on money.

If releasing these small fish and baby sea turtles could accumulate blessings for the children, she was willing to spend money to avoid disaster.

"Yaoyao."

Pei Yan Ting wanted her younger sister to calm down; this talk of spending money to avoid disaster and accumulating blessings through good deeds might not necessarily be true!

"Sister, don't stop me. I just want to do something meaningful for the children before leaving the Sea Island."

Pei Yao's attitude was firm, her tone insistent.

The stall owner thought for a moment and gestured with a five—five yuan.

If he sold them slowly, it would be about ten yuan or so.

Five yuan; he would consider it his own way of accumulating blessings.

"Fine."

Pei Yao paid readily, then took the children; once they had played enough, she took them to the seaside to release them...

Regardless of whether others thought this behavior was right or wrong, or how they viewed her, it was enough that Pei Yao was in a very good mood at this moment!

The trip to the Sea Island ended successfully.

Pei Yao returned fully loaded with bags big and small...
