The noisy children are the biggest problem that troubles Liu Qingshan. Aaron, who comes from Xiangjiang, is the head of the children and the boldest.
Guo Lin's son Qiuqiuze is the best friend of Zhang Weijian's daughter Nannan. Not only are they the same age, they are also classmates in the same kindergarten. They have actually continued the friendship between the two fathers.
Guolunsheng's daughter Lily, who arrived late, is the oldest and the most sensible. She always comes to ask Jin Xishan for advice before doing anything.
Qi Yu and Wang Siqi's Xuan Hao is the most naughty and good at fighting. They don't want other children to surpass them in anything.
These five children didn't know who Liu Qingshan was, and they had to greet him first when encountering almost any difficulty. After just over an hour, they were able to smoothly instruct "Shanzi" to do this and that.
And I don’t know who I learned the word Shanzi from. Each one of them said it so smoothly. When I first heard it, I was so shocked that Jin Xishan opened his mouth and froze. Fortunately, in the blink of an eye, he covered his mouth and started laughing. .
Liu Qingshan would not really take the children to the beach. It is already the ninth month of the lunar calendar. Although it is not cold inland, the biting chill can already be felt here.
After just walking around on the beach, he could feel the coldness on his wet trousers. He didn't want to let the children endure the cold under his care.
So he discussed it with Jin Xishan and decided to go to the salt drying field on the other side of the sea, maybe he could find some ingredients there.
The children all carry a small plastic bucket in their hands, but more often than not, the bucket almost becomes a toy in their hands, being thrown around by the children and often used as a ball for kicking.
So Liu Qingshan lied to them and said that there might be treasures hidden in the salt fields. Once the bucket was kicked and broken, there would be nothing to hold the treasures.
This trick really worked, and when everyone approached the salt field, their attitude was very serious, and the innocent conversations between them were also very funny.
After all, Lily is older and can always find answers to other children's questions.
For example, when someone asked what a salt field is, she would answer: "A place where seawater is evaporated to make salt. Look, this white thing is salt. These are not the things we are looking for. Shanzi said that there may be gems, so we just look for them." Those shiny things that look like gems will do!”
Her answers often come up with a series of other answers that are not included in the question, which is why people always gather around her.
The two adults only need to follow behind and pay attention to whether there is any danger. At this time, the children have their own world in their eyes, and there is no need for them to nag and give pointers.
Jin Xishan asked Liu Qingshan worriedly: "Can we lie to the children like this? How do you explain that we can't find the treasure?"
"I just said it was possible. Did I say there must be one here!" Liu Qingshan said with a smirk on his face.
"What about the ingredients? What about the children who didn't eat at night? Although they are small, they will feel unhappy because they get nothing and are outclassed by their fathers!"
"Don't worry, let's take a walk and have a look. If that doesn't work, can we just buy some from the workers and hide them secretly in some place for the children to find?"
"This is cheating. Aren't you afraid that the audience will scold you for misleading the children? I don't agree!"
Liu Qingshan also knew that this method was unrealistic, but he couldn't bear to let the children endure the cold and wet at the beach, so he looked around.
Finally, he asked Jin Xishan to take care of him, and walked over alone to inquire about the workers in the distance.
He returned not long after, but did not answer Jin Xishan's questioning look. Instead, he came in front of the children and consciously moved slowly in the other direction.
At this time, the children were already a little impatient. There were white grains of salt in the salt field but nothing. They were still a little curious about this thing when they first saw it. After seeing it too much, even the adults didn't have any interest.
There are smart children who, when passing by the place where workers are working, will ask them where there are treasures.
The workers must have been reminded by the program team in advance, and each one of them either smiled and said nothing, or immersed himself in work and pretended not to hear.
When they arrived at the end of the salt field, Liu Qingshan walked to a simple warehouse-like house and said something to the caretaker, and then came back with a bucket of tools.
"The uncles here said that there may be no treasures in the salt fields, and they want us to go to that beach to have a look! No, these are tools. Let's each take one and dig there to see if we can find any ingredients!"
The children couldn't hear the change in meaning in his words, which had been changed from treasure to food, but Jin Xishan could hear the change.
As soon as she rolled her eyes, she guessed Liu Qingshan's intention. When the children enthusiastically grabbed a small shovel or rake that they liked and ran to the beach over there, she walked to Liu Qingshan's side. .
"Don't tell me that you plan to let the children dig razor clams. Even though I haven't lived by the sea since I was a child, I know that they can lurk very deep in such a cold weather! Besides, aren't you afraid that the children will get soaked by the sea water? "
Liu Qingshan pretended to be mysterious and said: "I just asked, you don't need to go to places with sea water to dig razor clams, and our real goal is not the razor clams but the sea crabs!"
"Sea crabs?" Jin Xishan said in surprise, "Don't they live in sea water? And they only come out at night?"
Liu Qingshan explained with a smile: "I asked the fishermen here. There are many crabs on that beach, and there is a small puddle with many crabs. I only need to wash out the water in it and I can find them." Crab nest!”
"You mean you can find the crab's nest? That's great!"
Liu Qingshan came to this island not just for the children, his main purpose was to make Jin Xishan happy.
He had already found out before that the puddle was the favorite place for crabs in the nearby sea to make their nests.
And now is not the right time. Local fishermen think they are small and generally look down upon them, so this is the right time to go dig out their nests.
He knew that for children, it didn't matter how big or small you were, as long as you had fun.
Moreover, he could also see the eagerness to try on Jin Xishan's face, and he felt even more happy.
When everyone was on the small beach, Liu Qingshan followed suit and squatted down to explain the techniques of digging razor clams to the children.
The scientific name of this sea creature is the razor clam, which lives in burrows on soft mudflats. The depth of its lurking varies with the season: summer is warm and the lurking is shallow; winter is cold and the lurking is deeper.
The depth of lurking usually is about 5 to 6 times the body length, and the deepest can reach 40 cm, which is about 10 times the body length.
If you see two small holes not far apart on the beach, and if you touch them lightly with the tool in your hand and a little seawater spurts out, then there must be razor clams underneath.
Then dig deep along the direction of the water spray to find it.
