Back to the small fishing village in 1982Y

Chapter 26
In recent years, many people's living standards have improved, and not every household is willing to go to the sea, not to mention the sun is so big, isn't it good to weave fishing nets at home to make money?
And Taohai can't make any money, only a bite to eat.

Ye Yaodong was walking home, only seeing a few people carrying tools and buckets on the way.

As soon as he reached the turning intersection, he saw several women in his family with their children, and a large group of people was mighty.

"To the pier, or to the intersection beach?"

Lin Xiuqing hugged her youngest son and stopped to respond to him, "Mother said it's better to go to the pier. Some of your friends asked you to go to the sea, and they are waiting at the gate."

"Got it, you go first, I'll be here in a while."

Ye Yaodong trotted towards the house, and several of his friends were sitting in the shade by the door of his house with their feet up, waiting, watching him running over from a distance, and teasing him a few words.

"Yo, our Dong brother has become more diligent, and he helped weeding in hot weather?"

He stood under the shade of the tree panting, stretched out his hand to fan the wind, "Can't my own new home contribute to it?"

Ah Zheng said righteously: "When will you start building? If you need help, let us know, and we will help you."

"If you don't work at home, come over and work for me, your mother won't beat you with a mallet!"

"No, my mother will only praise me for being diligent! What's more, we are all brothers. If there is something wrong with my family, you will help me."

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes, and muttered in his heart: A loving mother often loses her son.

Forget that I am also a 'loser'!
"Okay, I'll call you when I need it. Have you brought all your tools? Wait for me, I'll go into the house to get the hook and bucket, and a hat by the way. It's too dry."

"Hurry up, you will be picked up if you are late."

"immediately!"

He ran in but couldn't find where to put the hook, so he took a poker and ran out in a hurry. The old lady held a bamboo tube and called out behind him, "Dongzi, bring the tea."

He turned around and took the bamboo tube given by the old lady, "Thank you grandma, you can go back! You can sit in the house or by the door to enjoy the shade, don't go to the backyard, if the ground is wet, be careful of slippery feet."

"Hey, good~"

"I'm leaving!"

A group of five people each carried a bucket, filled with tools and walked towards the pier excitedly.

Xiao Xiao said excitedly: "We haven't been to Taohai for two years."

Ah Zheng reminded: "It's more than that? Ever since you guys got married one after another, we haven't been there much."

"It's okay, let's relive the old dream today, hurry up." Ye Yaodong was full of hope for a new life at this time, and his whole person seemed a little positive.

Seeing how fast he was, everyone quickened their pace to keep up.

When we arrived at the pier, there were already a lot of people on the beach below, both old and young, and his family was the most!
And the adults are distracted there, yelling that the children are not allowed to run out of the tide, but only to play on the beach.

Seeing him coming, Ye Yaodong's two sons called out loudly, "Father! Father! Mother, father is here too!"

Lin Xiuqing raised her head and glanced at someone who came late. It's good that she didn't fool her at the pillow last night, "Understood, you all play next to me, don't run around."

Sister Ye couldn't help but said: "Yaodong has been diligent these two days!"

"Who knows how long it will last? Maybe it's because I haven't come to Taohai for a long time, maybe it's fresh for a while." Second Aunt Ye pursed her lips. She didn't believe that Ye Yaodong would change for the better all of a sudden.
"Anyway, I'm looking at the tune, it's not like before, I can't see people all the time."

"If you don't work harder, be more responsible, and see who will take care of him after the family is separated!"

After Ye Yaodong approached, he also heard the two sister-in-laws talking, and couldn't help frowning, women talk a lot!
"Father, where are you going? Mother said not to go under the tide."

"I'm going to catch fish and crabs, and you guys are here to play and help dig sand clams, and you're not allowed to follow."

The children stopped abruptly and could only watch him go down. They also wanted to go down to play. If there were no adults around, they would go down to swim, which is a pity.

"Let's act separately, and see who catches more later."

"can!"

This kind of chance to find crabs, fish and shrimps is faster than Yemu and the others digging clams, so few people spend time looking for them, and they are the only ones who are idle.

And Ye Yaodong also tasted the sweetness of catching two blue crabs yesterday, and now he walked directly towards the surrounding stones.

He removed a big rock with the tongs in his hand, and a surprise appeared as he expected, a big nine-section shrimp!

"Hehe, I found a nine-section shrimp! This is the first prize!" He quickly picked up the nine-section shrimp that was still jumping, and showed it to others.
Several people turned around one after another, "You're lucky, you'll have a harvest right after you come down, and it's still nine-section shrimp!"

Nine-section prawns are big in size, beautiful in appearance and very good-looking. There are deep and shallow horizontal lines on the body, and there are also patterns on the tail. After cooking, there are obvious nine-section white patterns. The meat is fresh and elastic. It is very popular. Ye Yaodong I also like to eat very much. I just picked up a good start when I came out, and I am very satisfied.

"I'm so envious, I want to catch a few more." Xiaoxiao was full of motivation, and kicked a stone at the side casually, "Huh~ jumping fish? I didn't expect that a random kick would be rewarding."

"Oh, you have all gained, and we can't be left behind, let's go...go...separate action!"

Everyone originally had the mentality of being idle and idle, and just came to join in the fun, but now they are also aroused.

After the tide recedes, the small fish and shrimps on the bottom of the sea are easy to be caught by large and small stones, and they do not return to the sea with the tide, but just move around the low-lying shallow water area around the reef, and will not return until the next high tide. to the sea.

Everyone has a lot of experience. When searching, they always look for low-lying places with stones and water.

Ye Yaodong felt that his luck was a little bit good. He just took two steps to the side when he saw two stone crabs hiding under the boulder.

"I caught two more, but it's a pity that it's not a blue crab. It's better than nothing."

The head and breastplate of the stone crab has red mottled brown cloth, and the claws are roughly bright red. It looks like a stone and has a thick shell. It likes to inhabit the sandy bottom near the low tide line, or the seabed with lush seaweed. It is most often lurking. under the stone.

He used the tongs to directly clamp the two stone crabs hiding under the big rock into the bucket, and then moved to the side.

Now in the 80s, the beach in their village has not been developed, and it is still in a primitive state. The products in the sea area are also extremely rich. After low tide, if you come to the beach casually, you will not return empty-handed.

As for how much to harvest, it depends on the tide and luck.
