Chapter 423 Mermaid Online (4)
"There seems to be an octopus over there, catch it quickly!"
Wang Yuke ran over quickly, took a big net and brought the octopus to the beach.
"Second brother is the best. I will be responsible for carrying the bucket."
"I'll carry it myself."
Wang Yuke knew what was underneath those shapes on the beach, so he started digging in the sand and soon found crabs, mantis shrimps and other seafood.
When he got home, there were already a lot of people standing outside his door waiting to settle their bills.
"It's a pity for this crab. I can only give you half the price at most. I'm afraid it will die on the way."
The Wang sisters were inspecting the goods and sorting the seafood. They were about to take a boat to the market in front to sell them.
"No more. We are leaving soon. If you have any left, please let us know and come over quickly."
Father Wang transported the seafood on a tricycle and started loading it onto the boat when he got to the shore. He served as the captain and helmsman.
"We gained a lot today, and it's almost enough to pay for the children's tuition."
"It's mainly because Xiao Ke is good at finding things like top-quality king crabs and abalone, and I sell them to high-end restaurants."
Carrying the expensive seafood, Wang's father walked towards the restaurant. The manager was stunned when he saw the variety of abalone.
"Our president has been looking for this kind of top-quality abalone recently, but he didn't expect that you, Old Wang, have a connection. Just sell it to us. I'll give you 5,000 yuan each."
"You give me a price, and look at this batch of goods and see what you like."
"We take crabs, shrimp, oysters, and scallops. Come over here."
Mr. Wang's father earned 100,000 yuan for this batch of goods. After deducting the cost, he made 75,000 yuan. Normally, he only made about 30,000 yuan. He went to the bank to withdraw some cash and gave it to his children and wife who accompanied him.
"This is from Xiao Ke. He was very impressive today, and the things he got are very expensive. I've put the money into your account, and I'll give it to you when you get a bank card. Be frugal with your spending."
"Thank you dad."
He was happy to pay 100 yuan per person, and handed 300 yuan to his wife: "I have a boss to meet for an interview, wife, you take the kids shopping."
"Okay, let's go. Mom will take you to eat something delicious."
After eating rice noodles, Wang's mother took the children to visit many places, and finally waited for Wang's father on the boat with fruits and other things.
I saw Mr. Wang and a seafood wholesaler owner coming over, talking and laughing, and waved goodbye.
"Have a bowl of fried rice noodles. You were so busy this morning that you didn't even have breakfast."
"Wife, I want to invest in a seafood wholesaler and open a small shop here to buy seafood and sell it inland."
"Will there be any problem?"
"He was my childhood playmate and my junior high and high school classmate. He was doing market research. He came here last year and thought the seafood here was good, so he rented a house and started a seafood resale business. However, the supply was too limited, so he made little money."
"It's true that those who sell seafood really make money, but I'm afraid..."
"I know you want to buy a house here to make it convenient for the children to go to school, but I think this is an opportunity. We plan to build a small factory first, with an investment of about 500,000 yuan, and the children can live in the factory with us temporarily."
The couple were discussing the matter. Seeing her husband exposed to the wind and sun, going out early and coming back late every day, Wang's mother didn't want him to go out to sea to fish. They have indeed made a lot of money from the seafood business in recent years.
Factories can also be used as places for people to live, maybe this is really an opportunity.
After returning home, Wang Yuke began to catch up on his homework. Why was there so much homework?
At night, he remembered the mermaid on the beach, sneaked out of the door, and came to the remote reef. He didn't know how long he waited, but he saw the silver-blue figure under the moonlight from a distance.
"Why are you here again?"
"I...I wanted to see you. Thank you for the seafood. I bought some candy for you today."
"You came here just to give me candy?"
"I want to swim, but I'm afraid my family will reject me."
Handing the candy to the mermaid next to him, Wang Yuke looked at the silver-blue tail and wanted to touch it.
"Just tell me if you have anything to say!"
"Can I...can I touch your tail?"
Gu Yuxi looked over, but she didn't expect the little boy to lower his head and dare not look. Is she that scary? So she took the other's hand and put it on her tail.
"Okay, but I'm leaving soon. Don't come tomorrow night."
"What do you mean?"
"I want to leave this place."
"Will you come back to see me?"
"I'll come back when I have a chance. After all, you're a fool. What if you drown?"
"I can't do it anymore."
Wang Yuke felt that the beautiful fish tail was very comfortable to touch. She could also transform into legs, so why didn’t he have a beautiful tail?
Gu Yuxi waved her hand, and the venue changed. She sat down and lay on the side, saying, "I have to leave before the sun comes out, so you should swim quickly."
Knowing that Gu Yuxi would leave before the sun came out, Wang Yuke kept pestering her to chat with him after swimming for about a day.
But the scene suddenly changed, the sky began to brighten, he couldn't help but hug her, saying aggrievedly: "You said you would come back to see me when you had the chance, don't lie to me."
"Okay, I won't lie to you. Can you let me go now? By the way, this gift is for you." After Gu Yuxi finished speaking, she took out three silver-blue pearls, tied them up with a silk thread, and then hung them around Wang Yuke's neck.
Wang Yuke looked down and found that the pearl had disappeared, but when he reached out to touch it, the pearl reappeared in his hand.
"This is a magical pearl that can ward off evil and harm. You can take it off to save your life in times of crisis. Goodbye." After saying this, Gu Yuxi turned around and jumped into the water.
"Splash!" With the sound of falling into the water, Wang Yuke wanted to call her and ask her name, but she had already swam away quickly and disappeared. He could only stare at the rising sun and the sea in a daze.
When the sun rose completely and the sunlight shone on the earth, Wang Yuke knew that he could not stay any longer and had to go home.
He lowered his head, gently stroked the pearl, and murmured to himself: "Sister Mermaid, we will definitely meet again."
[Satisfaction: 30%]
The sea breeze was a little cold in the morning. Wang Yuke returned home. His mother, who was preparing to make breakfast, couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Ke, why did you get up so early?"
"Mom, I want to go out for a walk."
"There's no rush for swimming. Mom will take you to the beach today. Don't be afraid."
"I'm not afraid anymore, not anymore."
After breakfast, Wang Yuke and his family came to the shallower sea. He did not want to expose the mermaid sister's secret, so he pretended that he could not swim.
"Here, the arm paddling is much better than before."
Father Wang was teaching seriously, but the third child who couldn't swim was easily laughed at by other children.
"It's already good. Let's come over here. Don't use the swimming ring this time. You're just afraid of going into the water."
After swimming for a while, everyone else was happy to see that Wang Yuke had talent in that area.
