Back to the small fishing village in 1982Y

Chapter 291
He accompanied his aunt's family all the way to the old house, joking and talking, before his butt was hot, Mother Ye sent him back to ask his elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law to come and help cook, and by the way, asked his elder brother and second brother to come and talk to his elder uncle.

Chinese New Year is like this, a bunch of relatives come and go, eat and drink, play cards, chat...

If the fifteenth year is not over, it is not considered as the end of the year.

It was just after the third day of junior high school, and the weather was not good, and it started to rain lightly, and it continued to be cloudy and rainy until the first month was almost out.

They didn't even go to the grandmother's house that the children were thinking about, and they didn't see the Lantern Festival lantern that they had been thinking about for a long time. The two children were very depressed.

In fact, the bad weather was one reason, and another important reason was that Lin Xiuqing's stomach was already very pregnant, and she thought it could be hidden before.

The Lantern Festival falls on February 2th in the Gregorian calendar. At this time, she is 27 months old. Although she can't see her belly in a loose padded jacket, she can still see her pregnancy when she walks.

People these days are very sharp-eyed, and they don't have to look at their stomachs to be sure. If someone reports it, they have kept it a secret for so long.

He also asked someone to deliver a message. Lin's father and Lin's mother knew about the situation a long time ago, and only let them come and hide when they need it.

Ye Yaodong looked angry, crossed his hands on his chest, squinted at his two children, then reached into his pocket and took out 8 5-cent coins.

"Twenty cents per person, no one is allowed to be angry?"

"Hmph! I'm going to grandma's house!"

"How do you get there when it's raining? There are no lanterns and floats when it's raining, and you can't even get out if it's raining."

"Then I want to go too."

"Then you can walk by yourself." Ye Yaodong casually stuffed the few coins in his hand to Ye Chengyang, "Your brother doesn't want it anymore. If you are obedient, I will give you all."

Ye Chengyang nodded happily and took it.

But Ye Chenghu quit, turned around and snatched it from him, "This is mine, I can't give it to him!"

"You don't want it!"

"I want!"

Heh heh, he can't be cured!
After finishing both of them, and sent them to play next door, the room was clean, and Ye Yaodong frowned and said: "We are going to build a house next to us, and you don't have to go out from now on, just stay at home and do whatever you need to do." Tell the boss to run errands, and usually close the door if there is nothing to do."

"I know."

As the month got older, Lin Xiuqing also began to worry. At first, she thought that no one around the new house would be able to survive, but now she would have to hide for a while.

Within a few days, someone came to measure the land next to their house, and before the first month came out, construction started just two days after the sun cleared.

Every day around the house, there are working villagers coming and going, in full swing, and from time to time, they often sit at their door and chat.

Ye Yaodong was worried, so he moved a stool and sat by the door every day to watch, fearing that as soon as he walked away, someone would come to his house to beg for tea, or borrow this or that.

Brother Ye and Brother Ye went out to the sea when the weather was sunny, and most of the villagers went out to work in the light rain one after another after the fifteenth day. Only he was still at home, and it was already February in the lunar calendar.

Alas, it's not that he's getting lazy, it's that he's worried.

His father and mother have been a little anxious these two days. It has been raining before, but it has started to clear up in the past few days. They come here every day to urge him to go to sea.

At night, Lin Xiuqing also hesitated and said: "Or should I go back to my mother's house? With my parents here, I don't need to go out. If something happens, I can also hide in the mountains?"

He was only worried when he hid in the mountains.

"We also have a small house in Chashan, where we can live in whatever we need..."

Ye Yaodong patted her reassuringly, "I'll be picking tea in a few days. The tea hills are full of people, so it's not easy to stay. It's okay to go to sea one or two months later. I made a few hundred dollars on the first day of the new year. It’s enough to pay for a few months.”

"It's been too long. You can't do anything every day. You can only stay at home and watch over me. It's too late. You can go to sea with Dad tomorrow. Mother said that she will come and watch every day..."

"It's only been sunny for a few days, and the first month has just come out. Don't worry."

"When you should go to sea, go to sea. My father and mother are also urging me. If I don't go this day, it is a day's loss. I won't go out anyway."

"Well, I'll check the weather tomorrow first."

He kept stroking her round belly with his hands, and felt the small bulge from time to time, but it disappeared all of a sudden, and protruded again after a while.

He was so curious that he searched back and forth on his stomach with one hand, but it disappeared after only playing for a while.

"Not moving?"

Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "I moved for a while before I spoke, and I'm probably tired and fell asleep."

Ye Yaodong withdrew his hand regretfully, "How long is this?"

"After 5.1."

He calculated, "There are still about two months."

"Well, hold on."

"Are all the clothes ready?"

Lin Xiuqing rubbed her stomach and nodded with a smile, "Get ready, the sun has been shining for the past two days, and I have washed and dried it again."

Ye Yaodong also felt a little more anticipation in his heart, the first two didn't have much sense of participation, this one came unexpectedly, but it was something he always kept in mind.

Persevere and persevere.

Early in the morning of the second day, not long after the sun had risen, there was the sound of knocking and moving outside the house.

The family can only get up sleepily, and can no longer sleep happily until they wake up naturally.

"It's so noisy, why are they building a house next to our house? Is there no place to build it in the village?"

"They think we are good here."

"I hate it to death." Ye Chenghu was very angry when he woke up in the morning.

"It will be fine after a while, the sun will be drying our buttocks, it's time to get up." Lin Xiuqing said while putting on clothes for the two children.

Ye Yaodong stood at the door and looked at the clear sky, the tide on the beach receded little by little, it seemed that there was not much wind and waves today.

But Ye Yaopeng did not go to sea, but urged Ye Chenghai to hurry up at the door.

"Is it windy at night?"

"No, I want to take this guy to the pier in the town to move goods for two days, and my father went with the second child at night."

"Oh~ the good days are over~ you have to be self-reliant? Remember to be filial to the third uncle after earning money." Ye Yaodong patted Ye Chenghai's shoulder with a smile.

"Do you want to go with the third uncle?"

"No, I'll wait for your filial piety, come on boy!"

Ye Chenghai's eyes were bright, and he nodded excitedly. For him, he can make money by himself, which is undoubtedly novel and worth looking forward to.

Ye Yaodong lit a candle for him in his heart, wish him luck, young man!

"Father, is Brother Ah Hai going to make money?"

"He went to receive a severe beating."

"what?"

"When he comes back at night, you ask him if he is happy with his money today? Is it windy at the pier, is the cargo heavy? Are the steamed buns delicious? How is your shoulder?"

Ye Chenghu looked at him in bewilderment.

Ye Yaodong patted him on the head, "Don't imitate you, Brother Ah Hai."

"Oh, Dad, the tide is low, can we go to the beach later? It's so boring, we haven't been to the beach for a long time."

"Okay, I'll play with you for a while after breakfast."

It's rare that the weather has been fine recently, so let's play with them, maybe I won't be free in two days.

The two children jumped and ran into the house excitedly, urging them to eat. School has already started, and everyone is going to school. They are alone at home, and they are very bored. It is rare to go to the beach to play, and they can't wait.

Lin Xiuqing cooked noodles today, and one of them made a bowl for them to eat by themselves. They were so wheezing that they ate it quickly without being urged, and even drank up the soup.

"If you go to the beach and see if there are no clams, dig some and use it to cook soup. They are tired of eating radish soup every day. At noon, I stir-fry rice with vegetables and make a bowl of clam soup."

"Understood, you close the door after we go out, and treat anyone who knocks on the door as if no one is at home."

"Well, I'll catch up on sleep later, I haven't been able to sleep well at night because of my belly."

Ye Yaodong nodded, and then walked to the beach with a bucket, two short-handled spatulas, tongs, and two children.

At this moment, the beach has just been exposed, and no one has come to the beach yet.

The two children ran excitedly ahead, before running for a while Ye Chenghu bent down and picked up a sea urchin, "Ah, it's so prickly!"

He threw it back to the ground again.

"Dad, we picked up a sea urchin!"

Ye Yaodong trotted forward, picked up the 'undersea cactus' under his feet and threw it into the bucket, and praised them, "Good luck, I will find some more, and I will steam eggs for you at noon."

Although the sea urchin looks ugly on the outside, like a prickly pear, it is black and has some thorns, but the sea urchin yellow after peeling is amazing.

It is bright orange-yellow, with clear grain on the surface. One petal is about the size of a little finger. It does not need any seasoning when eating. It tastes light and sweet, with a natural ocean flavor, and the texture is light and smooth.

Sea urchin yellow is also the only edible part of sea urchin, which is especially suitable for sashimi.

Steamed eggs with sea urchin yolk, the smooth and tender steamed eggs have a touch of plump seafood, sea urchin and eggs have their own unique deliciousness, steamed eggs and sea urchin yolk are all in one spoonful, it fits very well.

"Yeah."

The two turned around and started running on the beach~

"Brother~wait for me~"

Ye Yaodong saw a big snail buried under the sand next to it, it looked bigger than his eldest son's fist, he poked it with the tongs and dug it out from the sand.

I saw it roll over, and there was a small one next to where it stopped.

The snail meat on the top of its head was still exposed, suddenly frightened by this, it was shrinking continuously, when Ye Yaodong bent down to pick it up, the whole meat had been shrunk in, only the cap remained.

This hair snail looks similar to a conch, but its head is a little bit longer than ordinary conch, and the outer skin is full of hair, the color is completely different from ordinary conch, and it feels like turning over cowhide.

But the size is not small, and the snail meat inside is also very thick, which is absolutely refreshing to eat.

He also picked up the other small one beside him and threw it into the bucket for lunch.

"Dad, dad, here is a big ugly crab, it has eyes, it ran away, come quickly..."

The two children trotted and shouted excitedly.
