Back to the small fishing village in 1982Y

Chapter 268
Ye Yaodong stood there for a long while listening to the random conversation in his ears, and felt nothing for a long time. He felt that it was a waste of time, but when he was about to leave, he saw people's heads shaking in front of him, accompanied by the noise from the crowd.

"Come, come, come out..."

The villagers on the third and third floors outside were all ebullient, feeling as if some big leader was here, they all stood on tiptoes and stretched their necks, trying to see the true face of Lushan Mountain.

The crowd automatically gave way at this time, and Ye Yaodong could clearly see the smiles on the faces of the village committee members, and his cousin also gave it away with a smile.

It seems that there is nothing unpleasant, the feeling of having a good conversation?

"Okay, don't send any more, we will get to know each other better, and we will come again..."

Secretary Chen also said with a smile: "The selection of [-]-yuan households is a major event. You must understand it clearly. Don't worry. When the county understands it clearly, there will definitely be a commendation meeting..."

Mrs. Ye Datang nodded desperately with a smile on her face, "Oh, okay... It's also my fault that a village woman doesn't know much about the outside man. I only know that he has made a lot of money in business. He should come back in a few days. When the time comes I'm going to tell the secretary..."

The group of people smiled and nodded, then walked out...

Ye Yaodong rubbed his chin. His cousin probably didn't know what happened, so it's not easy for the county leaders to confirm it directly. They probably have to find out, and then they will come again when his cousin comes back.

As for the fate of coming back, it's hard to say...

Those village committee members kept laughing along, followed the county leaders to the commune, followed by a large group of villagers who hadn't seen enough excitement.

Ye Yaodong waited for them to go far away before walking towards his sister-in-law in the lobby. He wanted to ask what was going on, but he saw a group of women surrounded by her, asking her when she would be on the newspaper and on TV. ?Can they still take money to invest in the business?
The corner of his mouth twitched and he stopped.

Forget it, there is no need to be curious about this.

Since I just said everything, people will come back in a few days, so I will know how it develops in a few days.

He turned around, walked directly to the path next to him, and walked in the direction of his hometown.

At this time, Mother Ye was patting the quilt at the door. The door was supported by a bamboo pole, and a pile of quilts and clothes were hanging to dry.

His younger sister seemed to have just finished washing her hair. She was drying her hair with a towel with her head down at the door, and there was a stool and a basin of water beside her.

The old lady couldn't stay idle, his father was cutting bamboo sticks nearby, and she was also weaving bamboo baskets there.

"It's very comfortable, it's all basking in the sun."

"Dongzi is here, come and sit here and enjoy the sun." The old lady happily beckoned him to sit beside her.

Mother Ye also asked curiously at this time: "Dongzi, did you hear that the county leader went to the countryside to your brother's house on the way when you came here? I heard that his family came from a million-dollar household, and how did I hear that?" What's the matter with you, you said you went to your house?"

"Just now I have been washing clothes by the back door. I don't know. I only heard the neighbors talk about it when I came out to dry the clothes. What's going on?"

Ye Yaodong used his own set of excuses to prevaricate again, of course he still said that the village committee got the wrong name, so he went to his house, and then his cousin jumped out and went to Ye Yaohong's house logically.

"It's a pity, it would be great if you were a million-dollar household, then you could be published in the newspaper, and I don't know what rewards are there? It's cheaper for their family, they are so rich, and there are rewards..."

He nodded casually, and stopped answering his mother's words, and turned to look at his father, "Let's have a look in the afternoon, if there are no storms, get ready and go to sea at night."

Father Ye nodded.

Ye Huimei beside her also said excitedly: "It just so happens that the weather is fine today. After so many rainy days, it finally cleared up. The weather should be fine tomorrow too. Mother, let's go to sea with third brother at night. It happens to be the first day of the new year tomorrow."

Mother Ye patted the quilt with a stick and said, "Fortunately, the sun has cleared up, otherwise we wouldn't be able to go."

"You don't want to bask in the sun comfortably at home, you have to go to the island to enjoy the cold wind..." Ye Yaodong said angrily.

"Taohai is very interesting, third brother, wear a hat, scarf, and gloves so you won't be afraid of the wind."

"Never mind you!"

In fact, Ye Yaodong just said that when he went out to sea at night, he was still worried about them.

After hooking up the bait and lowering the hook, he hauled a net near the island before dawn, and waited until the day was completely bright before reeling in the net, and then handed over the goods to his father for sorting, and he took the boat to the oarfish island go.

That uninhabited island has been directly named Oarfish Island by him...

It was around 7 o'clock when the fishing boat docked, and the tide began to ebb at [-] o'clock. At this moment, the water level in some places was quite high. Ye Yaodong went around the island and stopped around a low reef.

Then I helped my mother and younger sister to disembark carefully and climb up the reef.

Mussels grow densely on the reef, and there are some spicy snails attached to it. Ye Huimei bent down happily to pick it up as soon as she stood on it, but the one she aimed at was particularly big.

The snail meat was attached to it with great force, she pulled it out forcefully, her body swayed and almost fell, but fortunately Ye Yaodong grabbed her back collar and stabilized her.

He sternly said: "Why are you in a hurry? We are the only ones on the whole island. Are you afraid that you won't be able to dig? You stretch out your hand before you step on it, and you don't know how to be careful. The rocks below are all sharp. Juveniles and all kinds of shelled ones, what will you do if you fall and hit the back of your head?"

Ye Huimei had never seen him be so strict before, she was really taken aback, she was too guilty to say anything.

Mother Ye also scolded: "How big is a person, I don't know how to be careful, the wind is so strong, it can blow you down, and there will be time to dig next time."

Ye Huimei lowered her head aggrieved, "I was wrong, I was just too excited, I must be careful next time."

"Okay, okay, don't talk about her, go down first, it's a bit high here", Father Ye quickly smoothed things over, "The water level in the place where a little sand is exposed in front is a bit shallow, so it's not easy to go to the shore, so we can only stop here, first Get off the rock and talk."

Ye Huimei walked down very carefully with both hands and feet, and Ye Yaodong also went up to support her.

The area of ​​the exposed beach below is only less than ten square meters, but the tide is receding, and a larger area will be exposed in the future.

As soon as they stood on the beach, Ye Yaodong saw the sea wash in front of him, and there was a big octopus rising and falling with the waves.

He trotted up, clamped it with the tongs to prevent it from being washed by the sea and went into the sea again, and then bent down to grab it.

The flurry of tentacles wrapped his arms tightly in an instant. The slippery touch and the tight adsorption made people feel sick. He walked back after catching it.

Mother Ye said happily: "Dongzi reacted quickly and caught a big red badge in no time. This one is not small."

Ye Yaodong grabbed it with both hands and threw it into the bucket, but after a while its tentacles climbed up the edge of the bucket again, trying to escape, so he had to grab it and throw it into the sack.

"Let's do it, let's do it, be careful, don't climb up and down, dig the easy to dig first, especially Comrade Ye Huimei, if there is another moth, I won't bring you here again."

After Ye Huimei recovered, she was no longer afraid of him, and even snorted twice, "Next time, you will definitely not bring me here."

"That's right, you will soon belong to someone else's family, and you will no longer be under our control. Hurry up and pack you up and send you away."

"Hmph, you used to speak ill of brother Guangzi in front of me every day, but now you want to kick me out quickly, third brother, you are so fickle!"

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes, "The days are looking good, one, two, or three of you don't have any objections, so why don't you hurry up and get married to save trouble? Girls don't stay in college, and if you stay or stay, you will become enemies! Do you understand?"

"Go away, go and drag your net."

"No, I'm going to watch you today."

Seeing his little sister's frizzy appearance, he and his father had better look at it, but it was just a waste of a day, and he was not bad for a day, so there was nothing wrong with it.

"Aren't you going to drag the net?" Ye Mu just used a flat-head screwdriver to pry two small abalones (small pot lids) off, when she heard him say no, she asked hastily.

"It seems that there is not much goods today. I just dragged a net full of toad fish. It doesn't matter if I drag it or not. Why don't I accompany you to dig more seafood and dry it more."

"That's fine. If there are more people, you can dig more and save more for the New Year's Eve. Fewer and fewer people will go to sea."

Father Ye has no objection either, he is still working.He took the sack and started working immediately.

Ye Yaodong temporarily threw the octopus-filled sack aside, took another one out of the bucket and shook it out, knowing that today they were going to wash the sea, and they had already brought extra sacks, so they were not afraid of running out of stuff.

According to his usual habits, he first searched around before finding a good location, and first dug from the location where there were many small abalones (small pot lids).

There are a lot of people, chatting, time flies, but there is wind leaking from all sides on the isolated island, the sea breeze is especially strong, and it is chilly blowing everywhere.

He deliberately brought the woolen hat and scarf that his wife had hooked up on the bed while she was free a few days ago, but his cheeks were still a little stinging from the wind, even if his back was turned and he occasionally looked up and turned his head.

Glancing at the other three who were digging vigorously, they all turned their backs to the howling northwest wind.

I feel like I have to ask his wife to make a few more masks when I go back. I just take a piece of cloth and sew it up, as long as it can cover my face, otherwise it would be too uncomfortable to blow my face like this.

To be honest, his skin is still quite tender now, it would be better if he kept it so that it wouldn't be destroyed by the sea breeze.

His head kept spinning, but he was not slow in the movements of his hands.

After digging a large piece of small abalone (small pot lid) in front of him, he didn't bother to waste time looking around, and then picked up the spicy snails, flower snails, cat's eye snails, bergamot, etc. that were adsorbed on it, and planned to go back after digging and pick slowly.

Except for mussels, sea melon seeds and juvenile shellfish, all comers are welcome.

These three quantities are too large, so it is better to pack them in a sack alone.

After he was diligently filling a sack, he twisted his neck, twisted his waist, paused for a while, and then dragged the sack to the side.

There were already two large sacks on the open space next to him. He turned his head and looked at them. His father and mother were holding empty sacks in their hands at the moment. They dug these two sacks.

Sure enough, ginger is still old and spicy, but they are still fast.

Immediately afterwards, he took another empty bag, unfolded it as he walked, and took a look at where the tide ahead had receded.

However, with just one glance, his eyes widened in shock, his pupils constricted, his heart skipped a beat, and the hairs on his hands stood on end.

isn't it...

This kind of thing happened to him...
