Chapter 239: [238] Tasty and Pretty Fisherman 89 (Second Update)

"Sister, are you leaving?" Yaya seemed to hear the future intent in her words and panicked immediately.

Xiao Yu hurriedly patted her shoulder, "Silly girl, what are you talking about? Even if sister leaves, I’ll only do so after Grandma’s illness has healed. Think about it, I have to make arrangements in advance so that I can leave with a peace of mind. Also, there’s a younger brother at home who got lost, so I have to go find him. I can’t stay here forever, I definitely have to leave next summer."

"Ah? Sister has a brother?" Xiao Yu nodded, "Yes, he’s three years younger than me, he’s fifteen this year, but I don’t know where he is now, so I have to go find him."

Yaya suddenly became anxious, "Sister, I can’t bear to see you go."

"Don’t make it sound so dramatic; I haven’t left yet. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure you and Grandma are well taken care of before I go to ensure you both have good lives." Then, Xiao Yu went over to Grandma Liu, "How are you feeling today?"

Grandma Liu had naturally heard Xiao Yu’s words, and subconsciously grabbed her hand, but then seemed to remember her own illness and let go.

Who would have thought Xiao Yu would grasp her hand back, "Grandma, your illness has improved a lot, no need to be so nervous. Besides, Yaya and I are also taking infection-prevention medicines, so it’s fine."

"Xiao Yu, you really are our lucky star. My body has been feeling a lot lighter, you see, I haven’t even coughed today."

"Did you take your medicine?"

"I’ve taken it twice today, just one more to go. It’s truly miraculous, how come your medicine works so well?"

It’s not the medicine that’s effective; it’s the power of the needles. Chinese medicine only plays a supporting role, the medicine in the needles is purified, so it’s more potent.

"As long as it works. Grandma, keep taking your medicines and acupuncture, and once you’re better, we’ll figure out a way for you to make money. As for the money we owe Doctor Tang, we will also find a way to repay it."

"That’s only right; people have their difficulties too, we can’t just not pay them back."

After the wind picked up in the evening, they helped the elderly lady inside, administered an injection, and after making sure she was comfortable, Xiao Yu stayed home to cook dinner while Yaya went out to gather sea products.

Today at home, Yaya had already boiled the shellfish and snails they had collected previously, removed the meat, and spread it out on mats to dry—these were the beginnings of dried goods.

Under her instructions, Yaya was now making frequent trips to the shore; only with diligence could they accumulate their stock of dried goods.

Tonight, she planned on preparing a lavish meal, stewing two yellow croaker because they were not that big, so she stewed them with grouper to make up the numbers, and she also grilled two sea eels. The remaining two sea bass, one shark, and one sea bass were nearly dead; she simply killed them afterward and hung them up to dry.

Seven or eight crabs, each plump and weighing around five to six taels, were all still alive. Fortunately, it was good they were alive; she’d have to check her fish cage after dinner to see if there was any new catch.

As for the leftover octopus legs from yesterday, slicing them up and dipping them in sauce to eat would also be delicious.

So tonight, they didn’t need to prepare any staple food; they could still be full.

Once Yaya returned, Xiao Yu had already finished cooking. With Grandma’s illness slightly better, the tender meat of yellow croaker and eel wouldn’t be a problem for her to eat a little. The meat of the octopus was too tough for her weak teeth, so she couldn’t eat that.

Since it wasn’t a seafood that caused allergic reactions, having a bit of fish was fine as long as it wasn’t excessive.

Thinking about it, she might not have had meat and fish for a long time, it’s not easy!
