Chapter 1135 Morning Sea Fishing
On a large bed, Liu Meilan slept on the edge. Before going to sleep, she helped her two children urinate, then put them inside, covered them with their small blankets, and quickly fell asleep.
Now, children don't want to wear diapers. Whenever they move around a lot in bed at night, tossing and turning, it means they need to pee.
If Liu Meilan could wake up in time and take them to urinate, they wouldn't wet the bed.
If Liu Meilan hadn't woken up, the children would most likely have wet the bed. But now that the children are a little older, they sometimes sit up and shake their mother, saying they need to pee.
Although waking up in the middle of the night may disrupt sleep, it can help children develop good bowel habits and become independent sooner.
Fortunately, Liu Meilan sleeps well. Even if she wakes up in the middle of the night, she can quickly fall into a deep sleep after settling the children and lying back in bed.
This is why Liu Meilan is able to maintain very strong physical strength and energy.
As for Fu Chen, he was away on a mission; when I called him, he wasn't there at all.
Liu Meilan was already used to it, so she didn't feel disappointed at all.
Because Tang Xiaoyu was coming, Liu Meilan went out to sea early in the morning to go fishing.
It was Sunday, and Xu Chongyang and Xiao Bao got up early.
Wherever Liu Meilan went, they followed.
Even when Liu Meilan went to the toilet, the two of them would stand guard on either side of the toilet.
Liu Meilan was both amused and exasperated. "Sigh, I already promised you I'd take you out to sea! Make sure you have your tools ready, wash your faces, and brush your teeth. It's a bit chilly in the morning, so wear warm clothes. Don't catch a cold."
Liu Xiaobao tugged at Liu Meilan's arm, "Auntie, you're not lying to us, are you?"
Their grandparents wouldn't let them go, so they kept pestering their aunt.
Xu Chongyang quickly replied, "We were ready long ago!"
Liu Meilan instructed, "Once we're on the yacht, you must listen to me!"
"Yes, ma'am!" The two little ones immediately saluted Liu Meilan, behaving very obediently.
After Liu Meilan finished packing, she told her family and took Xu Chongyang and Liu Xiaobao out to sea.
The captain and two crew members were already waiting. When they saw Xu Chongyang and Liu Xiaobao come aboard, they quickly put life jackets on them.
Furthermore, safety ropes were tied around their waists. In case of strong winds or rough seas, even if they fell overboard, the safety ropes would allow them to be pulled back quickly.
Xu Chongyang and Liu Xiaobao were very honest and did whatever they were told. Only by performing well could they make the next voyage at sea go more smoothly.
"Thank you!" Liu Xiaobao said gratefully, eagerly grabbing his small fishing rod, baiting the hook, finding his spot, and then hugging the pillar of his fishing spot to make sure that even if a big fish dragged him, he wouldn't be pulled into the water.
The staff member patted his head. "You're welcome! I'll sit right next to you and keep you safe!"
Xu Chongyang is already a big boy, standing at 1.6 meters tall, and he has memorized all the important points.
Even if Liu Meilan fell into the sea, she wouldn't be a problem given her swimming skills. Therefore, the staff's attention was focused on Liu Xiaobao.
Liu Meilan told the captain the coordinates and told him to sail directly to that location.
Tang Xiaoyu likes to eat grouper, because the grouper there is plentiful, large, and plump.
Besides, everyone loves delicious seafood like grouper! It's meaty with few bones, incredibly fresh, and suitable for all ages.
The captain was very experienced and sailed very smoothly to the other side, then stopped.
Although the sea was churning and there was a bit of wind, it felt like walking on flat ground for Liu Meilan.
Xu Chongyang was also able to control his body, and Liu Xiaobao, sitting down and with someone protecting him, was also able to stay steady.
Not wanting to linger too long, Liu Meilan went to the other side of the yacht and started fishing.
Before long, they caught a very large grouper.
The staff quickly brought over a bucket and put the fish into the fish tank.
The staff member asked with a smile, "Aren't you putting out shrimp traps today?"
Liu Meilan looked closely, and sure enough, there was something good down there. "Then go and get ten shrimp traps!"
The staff member quickly agreed, "I'll bring it over right away!"
There's a special place to store the shrimp traps, and it's very clean!
After putting some bait in, I placed the 10 shrimp traps nearby.
The captain and Liu Meilan are now working together very well, and the captain can always dock the fishing boat where Liu Meilan wants to dock.
This area is teeming with bamboo shrimp—big, long, and plump! Kids especially love them!
After marinating briefly, coat them in flour and deep-fry them until plump, fragrant, and crispy.
Xu Chongyang and Liu Xiaobao had a very good catch today, catching several green grouper and two red grouper.
One of them was only the size of a palm, and Xu Chongyang took it off and threw it into the water.
This fish is too small, and there's not much meat! If you're going to eat fish, eat the bigger ones. Let's release it and eat it when it grows bigger!
Liu Meilan also had a great harvest; one of her fish tanks was almost full!
Liu Meilan checked the time; it was already 9 o'clock! So she started collecting the shrimp traps, and the harvest from the 10 traps was quite substantial.
There were three shrimp traps filled with bamboo shrimp, about the size of a palm, thick, plump, and lively!
Of course, blue crabs and swimming crabs are also included; the large ones are kept, and the small ones are all thrown away.
Liu Meilan and Xu Chongyang quickly sorted the contents of the shrimp traps and placed them in buckets and baskets.
After cleaning, place the shrimp traps in a large basin and then rinse them directly with seawater.
After all, this is a yacht, and it needs to be kept clean and tidy so that people can stay comfortably on it.
Before they even reached the dock, Liu Meilan started making phone calls, asking them to come and pick her up.
Grandpa Liu personally rode his tricycle to the dock with Grandpa Xie, waiting for Liu Meilan to return fully loaded.
The yacht docked at the pier. Liu Meilan, being strong, carried the two fish boxes to the tricycle. There were also two boxes containing crabs, shrimp, and some conch.
Grandpa Xie said with a smile, "Oh my, now that Meilan is back, we can eat the freshest seafood."
Grandpa Liu said proudly, "Of course, I always think the seafood caught in Meilan tastes better. I can never get enough of it."
Xu Chongyang rode a tricycle, with Liu Meilan supporting him from behind. Grandpa Liu led Xiaobao and went home with Grandpa Xie.
As he walked, Grandpa Liu asked, "Little Bao, do you miss your mom and dad?"
Liu Xiaobao replied, "I do miss them, but when I miss them I call them and hear their voices, and then I stop thinking about them. My great-grandfather, grandmother, grandfather, and uncles and aunts are very good to me. Oh, and my aunt is the best; she takes me fishing at sea, which is my favorite thing to do."
At first, Liu Xiaobao was a little unaccustomed to his parents leaving, but after his grandmother stayed with him for a few days, he was able to sleep alone.
However, his disappointment quickly faded because there were so many interesting folk activities on the island. Professor Xie even asked the islanders to teach him the Yingge dance, which was very impressive. If he studies hard this year, Liu Xiaobao can join the children's team next year.
After school started, even though it was kindergarten, it was still very interesting. There were even people practicing martial arts, which he really liked.
Grandpa Liu smiled and said, "When your aunt goes to sea in the future, as long as she is not in school and has time, your great-grandfather will make the decision to let you go with her."
"Thank you, Great-Grandpa, you're so kind," Liu Xiaobao said with a smile, skipping along. Life was much more fun now than when he was with his parents.
