Chapter 1245 My Ear Was Twisted
Xu Kaifa began his return journey, while Liu Meilan quietly enjoyed her fishing life.
Sister Chen reminded her, laughing and calling out, "Meilan, since you're on the fishing boat, why don't you untangle the nets and see if your luck is still on?"
Everyone was very curious, and many new crew members gradually got used to life on the fishing boat by listening to Liu Meilan's legend.
Those who were free all came over.
Liu Ersao was cooking when she came over and said, "Meilan, give it a try, we all want to see!"
Coincidentally, Liu Meilan had just had some free time and started using her divine sense to catch fish. This net indeed contained many good things; this time, among the blue crabs, there were even quite a few yellow oil crabs.
It's the best of the best crabs, and with the Mid-Autumn Festival coming up soon, it can fetch a good price.
"Since everyone is so eager to try, shall I give it a shot?" Liu Meilan was eager to try, having not been able to fish in peace for a long time, and was filled with anticipation.
Sister-in-law Chen nodded, "Then come quickly."
Liu Meilan walked to the place where the net was being untied and began to untie it in front of everyone.
Everyone watched intently as, after the net was untied, a steady stream of crabs appeared inside—plump blue crabs, lobsters, and a variety of high-end seafood.
However, the most attractive dish is still the butter crab.
One of them fell right at Mrs. Chen's feet. She immediately picked it up, incredulous. "My God! This yellow butter crab is so fat! It's especially expensive here, particularly in Hong Kong Island. Everyone, don't get cold, let's get to work!"
Aunt Liu gave Liu Meilan a thumbs up, "Meilan, you're really great."
As she sorted the seafood, Sister Chen praised, "Our Captain Mei Lan has always been so lucky, it's fantastic. This batch of butter crabs is excellent."
Liu Meilan squatted down and joined everyone in sorting the goods. "It's all luck, you flatter me."
The new boatmen were surprised by the good harvest, and even more surprised that Liu Meilan actually squatted down and worked with everyone, and that she was quite fast, no slower than the boatmen themselves.
Everyone became even more curious about this Mr. Liu.
The subsequent discoveries repeatedly astonished everyone, to the point that they eventually came to believe it was just as expected. No wonder she was favored by the Dragon King and the Goddess Mazu.
This change pleased Liu Meilan greatly. She remained the capable Captain Meilan, and although her focus was no longer on fishing, her legend was known throughout the fishing world.
Because Liu Meilan was in bed, Sister Chen was very happy every day. Aunt Liu was the same, and she would try all sorts of ways to cook delicious seafood for Liu Meilan to enjoy the authentic flavor of the seafood.
From being hauled from the sea to being fried or boiled in a pot, the time is no more than ten minutes. That's how carefree it is. Of course, the deliciousness of the seafood also surpasses that of what you can eat on land.
Although the entire trip only lasted eight days, they gained a lot.
The fishing boat dropped Liu Meilan off at the pier on Sifang Island and continued its journey to Shenzhen. Their seafood distribution center was there.
Knowing that Liu Meilan was coming back, Fu Ying and Fu Hai had been missing their mother for a long time. They often waited for her at the dock, only returning home when she didn't come. However, most of the time, they played with their cousins, temporarily forgetting about missing their mother.
As soon as Liu Meilan stepped off the boat, she saw Fu Ying and Fu Hai.
Instantly, a feeling of guilt welled up inside her, making her nose sting slightly. She quickly ran to Fu Ying and Fu Hai, squatted down, and hugged them.
Fu Ying hugged her mother's neck, her eyes reddening, "Mom, please don't leave for so long, okay?"
Fu Hai whispered, "My sister misses Mom."
Fu Ying glared at him. "Don't you miss your mother? Then who cries at night?"
Fu Hai shook his head and pointed at Fu Ying, "It's you. I'm a man, not me."
Liu Meilan led her son and daughter, saying, "Okay, Mom promises you, I won't leave for so long anymore. Come on, let's go home."
"Mmm!" Hearing that their mother wouldn't be away for so long, Fu Ying and Fu Hai smiled. Precocious children aren't so clingy, but they are still children after all. What child doesn't miss their mother?
That night, wherever Liu Meilan went, Fu Ying and Fu Hai followed.
To make up for lost time, Liu Meilan played games with the children, especially their favorite game, hide-and-seek. Liu Meilan climbed a tree, and the two little ones searched for quite a while but couldn't find her.
In the end, it was Liu Meilan who deliberately made a sound, and they discovered her.
"Mom, you can actually climb trees?" Fu Ying exclaimed in surprise. "Can I learn?"
Liu Meilan replied, "Yes, but climbing trees is dangerous. You can't climb trees alone outside. Remember this rule so I can teach you."
Fu Ying nodded repeatedly, "Okay!"
Liu Meilan nimbly climbed down from the tree and began instructing the children on how to climb.
At first, it was just Fu Ying and Fu Hai, but when the others saw their aunt teaching them how to climb trees, they instantly lost interest in games like ant nests and playing house.
One by one, they started climbing trees like monkeys. Children are young and highly malleable; no wonder they evolved from apes, they learn incredibly fast.
The jujube tree in our yard has been climbed by several children, and the bark is almost completely stripped off.
As soon as Grandpa Liu and Doctor Wang returned, they saw the mischievous monkeys in the house, all of them frolicking happily!
"Stop right there, you little rascals!" Old Master Liu shouted. "Climbing trees is so dangerous, aren't you afraid of falling?"
Liu Meilan came closer and said, "Grandpa, I'm watching from the side!"
Grandpa Liu pinched Liu Meilan's ear, "You're messing around too. What if she falls and gets hurt? And look at the children's clothes, their pants are all torn, and Fu Hai's pants have a hole in the crotch. What if his little bird gets scratched?"
Liu Meilan was both amused and exasperated. "I'm keeping an eye on things, it'll be fine. As for the clothes, it doesn't matter. They're not expensive clothes, we'll just change them when they get damaged. Besides, kids grow fast, so we need to change their clothes quickly too."
Dr. Wang quickly smoothed things over, "Let go quickly, you've twisted Meilan's ears all red. These little rascals in the house, it's better to climb trees at home than outside, at least someone's watching them."
Grandpa Liu rolled his eyes. "Don't you understand these kids? They can climb trees at home, so they can climb trees outside. If they fall, it could be terrible."
"Go get some mats!" Doctor Wang winked at Liu Meilan. "Meilan, don't be angry. Your grandfather is worried about the child."
Liu Meilan chuckled, "Don't be angry. It's good that Grandpa is keeping an eye on them! I'm thinking that children need to fall and get hurt to grow strong. I told them not to climb trees outside. If they don't listen, I won't take them to play."
Fu Hai ran over and hugged his great-grandfather's leg. "Great-grandfather, don't scold Mom. We'll climb trees at home, not outside."
The other children also ran over, not wanting their aunt to be scolded.
Climbing trees is really fun!
"You're still young, you can only climb trees under adult supervision, understand?" Old Master Liu said sternly, setting rules for the children. He was really worried about these little rascals climbing trees outside; it was very dangerous.
