Beachcombing: The beach is full of amazing seafood, but my wife won't let me get out of bed!

Wu Sui put on her shoes, washed her face with cold water, and tried to wake herself up completely.

In the kitchen, Wang Feng and Chen Xue were sitting in front of the stove, where a large iron pot was bubbling away, and the rich aroma of oyster sauce filled the entire yard.

"Ah Sui, you're awake?"

When Chen Xue saw Wu Sui come out, she pointed to another pot.

"The rice is keeping warm in the pot, have some to tide you over."

The food was specially reserved for them, and Wu Sui was really starving, so he quickly ate it all up.

"Where are Ya Ya and Xiao Hu? Where have they run off to again?"

"Xiao Hu took Ya Ya to play at the village primary school. School starts in September, and Xiao Hu will be starting primary school. He insisted on taking Ya Ya to show off."

Wu Sui was stunned for a moment before realizing that there was no rule saying that children had to go to kindergarten.

Xiao Hu will be 7 years old soon and should be starting first grade. Ya Ya will be starting preschool next year.

It was that run-down primary school in the village... let's not even mention it.

"I'm going to town to find Brother Tao, to ask about the beads, and to check on the boat while I'm at it."

Wang Feng looked up, somewhat uneasy.

"How about we invite your older brother along? It costs tens of thousands..."

"It's alright, sister-in-law, let your brother get some more sleep."

Wu Sui packed his things, waved, and left the courtyard.

As I walked to the village entrance, that dream kept replaying in my mind.

The feeling of that truck running away is worse than losing money.

"Once we get a boat, I'll dig you out of the sea."

There are very few cars going from the village to the town, and the cars don't smell good either.

Wu Sui almost fainted from the smell of chicken manure the whole way, and couldn't help but gag twice when she got off the bus.

It was late afternoon, and there wasn't much business at the stall.

Lin Tao was sitting in a rocking chair, smoking and drinking tea.

Lin Jing squatted by the pool, idly using a net to scoop out the dead shrimp.

"Brother Tao, are you taking a break?"

Wu Sui walked over and placed a net bag she was carrying on the table next to her.

Hearing the noise, Lin Tao opened his eyes and quickly sat up from the rocking chair.

"Ah Sui is here, have a seat."

Lin Tao pulled over a stool and handed him a cigarette.

"Why did you come all this way in this sweltering heat? Do you have some goods to ship?"

Wu Sui took the cigarette, lit it, and pointed to the net bag on the table.

"Out of stock. I got some oysters yesterday, and my family made some oyster sauce. I'll bring you two cans to try."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jing threw down the net in her hand and came over.

She untied the net bag and took out two canning jars.

"Angkor, did you make this oyster sauce yourself?"

Lin Jing unscrewed the bottle cap, and a rich, sweet aroma wafted out.

She sniffed, grabbed a pair of disposable chopsticks from the side, dipped them in the bottle, and took a sip.

"Well……"

Lin Jing's eyes widened in surprise.

"This is so fresh!"

She picked up her chopsticks and tried to dip them again, but Lin Tao slapped her hand on the back of her hand.

"You're such a grown-up, yet you still act like a glutton."

Lin Jing rubbed the back of her hand, feeling wronged.

"It's so delicious, Angkor! This oyster sauce is so good that I could slurp it up for ages even if I just used it to stir-fry snails."

Wu Sui smiled and said, "As long as it's delicious, I'll bring you more after you finish eating. We've made quite a bit at home."

Lin Tao carefully put away the two cans of oyster sauce and looked at Wu Sui.

"You wouldn't come to my door without a reason, would you? It can't be just about delivering oyster sauce, right?"

Wu Sui exhaled a smoke ring.

"Brother Tao is Brother Tao, nothing can be hidden from you."

He reached into his pocket, pulled out a small cloth bag, and placed it on the table.

"I got some small gadgets and wanted Brother Tao to take a look and see if there's a way to sell them."

Lin Tao glanced at the cloth bag with curiosity.

"What good stuff is it that's being made so mysterious?"

He reached out and took the cloth bag, untying the knot on it.

As soon as the cloth bag was opened, Lin Tao's hand trembled.

Lin Jing stared in disbelief.

"Wow, what beautiful beads! Are these pearls?"

Lin Tao looked up at Wu Sui: "Sui, don't tell me this was opened from an oyster?"

Wu Sui nodded: "We've shucked nearly 5,000 catties of oysters, and this is all we've got."

"Is that all?" Lin Tao almost jumped up and slapped Wu Sui.

Who's so lucky to get such big and round oyster pearls?

Even if it were 10,000 jin, let alone 5,000 jin, it wouldn't be a loss to get this much.

He rolled his eyes speechlessly, picked up a pink bead, and looked at it in the sunlight.

"It's rare to see wild oyster pearls this big and round."

He put the beads back into the cloth bag, his expression turning serious.

"Ah Sui, this stuff doesn't fetch a high price in our little town."

Wu Sui laughed: "I'm hoping Brother Tao can point me in the right direction."

Lin Tao pondered for a moment.

"Okay, I'll take care of it. I happen to know a jewelry business owner."

Wu Sui picked out a rather large bead with a silvery sheen from the cloth bag and pushed it in front of Lin Tao.

"Brother Tao, keep this one as a small token of my appreciation. I've troubled you quite a bit these past few days."

Lin Tao quickly waved his hand: "This is too much. This thing is precious. It's nothing for me to run an errand for you."

Lin Jing, standing to the side, was displeased and pouted, stomping her feet.

"Angkor, you're so biased! These beads are so beautiful, why didn't you give me one?"

Before Wu Sui could speak, Lin Tao glared at his sister.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Your brother Wu is a married man. If he suddenly gives you a young woman a pearl, what will people think?"

Lin Jing stuck out her tongue.

"I just think it looks nice, that's all."

Lin Tao shook his head helplessly, picked up the bead that Wu Sui had pushed over, and stuffed it into Lin Jing's hand.

"Alright, alright, take it and play with it. Don't interfere here."

Lin Jing took the beads and ran happily back behind the counter.

Lin Tao stood up and dusted himself off.

"Let's go, since we have some free time now, I'll take you to the county town."

He turned around and called out to Lin Jing.

"Xiaojing, watch the shop, I'll be back later."

The two went out, and Lin Tao went to get the car.

Seeing the Santana, Wu Sui was so envious he was practically drooling.

When will he be able to buy a car?

Upon arriving in the county town, Lin Tao skillfully navigated several streets and parked his car in front of the shopping mall.

Wu Sui looked up and saw the sign.

Isn't this the same store where I brought my older brother to buy gold bracelets and necklaces a few days ago?

Lin Tao took the car keys and led Wu Sui inside.

"The owner of this shop is surnamed Feng. He's a very honest man and a long-time customer of my purchasing station. We have some kind of relationship."

As soon as the two entered, the lobby manager came to greet them.

"Boss Lin, what a rare guest! What brings you here today?"

The manager clearly recognized Lin Tao. After greeting him, his gaze shifted to Wu Sui, and he paused for a moment.

"Oh, isn't this Mr. Wu? Here to buy jewelry again today?"

The manager vividly remembers Wu Sui spending tens of thousands of yuan on gold jewelry here a few days ago.

Wu Sui smiled and waved his hand: "I'm not buying anything today. I came with Brother Tao."

"Is your General Manager Feng here? I'd like to talk to him about some business."
