Back to the small fishing village in 1982Y

Chapter 293

Hearing the exclamation in his ear, Ye Yaodong also quickened his planing movements, but he couldn't be compared by his son.

He threw aside the sand clams he dug up one by one, and piled them on the open space.

In the past few months, starfish were rampant, and there were no clams on the beach for a long time. Over the past few months, clams from the outer sea were washed in again and buried under the sand.

After a while, there was a small pile beside him, like a hill, and it was easy to dig.

At this moment, Ye Chengyang suddenly yelled, "The crab...the crab ran away...Dad...the crab ran away..."

Ye Yaodong turned his head and saw that crabs were crawling all over the place, and there were two hanging from the edge of the bucket. Two large pincers were holding each other, one was hanging in the air, and the two fell down together in an instant.

"Huh? I didn't see it in a blink of an eye and I escaped from prison?"

It may be that the buckets were too full just now, and they escaped from prison one by one.

He just came out to pick up some seaweed. The bucket he brought was not as big as the ones he used to get out of kelp. It was the red plastic bucket that is common at home.

He grabbed all the crabs that were crawling all over the ground back into the bucket, and put all the clams he dug into the bucket by the way, it was so full that it was eighty percent full.

Just go out for a stroll, there is a bucket, very good.

Seeing that the crabs in the bucket began to pile up again, he shouted to the two cubs, "Let's go, stop digging, and go home."

"It came out so quickly, let's play for a while, Dad, I didn't dig a lot."

"It's a full bucket. If you don't take it back to the pot, the crabs will run away again. You have nothing to eat at noon. Hurry up, you were asked to dig, but if you don't dig, you should work hard now..."

Ye Chenghu did not give up and dug two more, but Ye Yaodong picked them up, "Wait...my quack (sand clam)..."

The local children verbally call sand clams quack...

After putting all the ones he dug into the bucket, he reluctantly followed behind and walked back.

"Going back so soon...Father, when are we going to dig Quack again?"

"Next time."

"When is the next time?"

"See if I'm free and in the mood?"

Ye Chenghu muttered in a low voice: "Then I will come secretly..."

Ye Yaodong didn't care about him, he just urged them to hurry up.

Although adults don't let children go to the beach, how can we live there? The sea is right in front of our house. Especially in summer, there are no children who don't play in the water. The children are all free-range now.

As soon as he walked to the shore, he saw his old mother in the open space beside him from a distance, chatting with others in full swing, and he couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and he didn't know what was so exciting.

He yelled at her directly, half of the bucket full of seafood was crab, and he couldn't finish it, so he asked her to bring some back.

Mother Ye looked at the bucket of crabs that was almost full, and said in surprise, "There are so many crabs on the beach today?"

"There are other miscellaneous things under there."

"It's very convenient to live here. You can go to the beach when the tide is out. Look, it's not like you can pick up a bucket full on the first day or the fifteenth day of the junior high school. You have to go earlier." It was his newcomer who spoke. Neighbor's mom.

Ye Yaodong smiled, "It's just that I'm idle and I'm idle, and the tide is receding, so I took the two children down for a walk. They are all worthless, would Aunt Lan take some back?"

"No, there are a bunch of shrimps and crabs when I come back from the sea every day. I don't have time to peel them. It's troublesome to eat. I don't have the time..."

No, he went to the back door, entered the house through the back door, took a washbasin to empty, and brought a few for his elder brother and second brother's house, and his wife didn't want it either. His father and second brother went to sea, and she and the old lady were the only ones at home.

Lin Xiuqing heard the movement at home and knew that he was back. She peeked at him and came out of the room with confidence after confirming.

When Mother Ye saw her, she reached out and touched her stomach, and said in a low voice, "Can't you tell?"

"It's just wrapped in a cotton jacket, it's okay if you don't look carefully."

"Then you just don't go out. Should Dongzi go to sea or go to sea? There are still two months left, so he can't stay at home and play all the time. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will be good, so you can go..." Mother Ye murmured.

Ye Yaodong responded casually, picked out the blue crabs individually, and kept them for stewing for the two of them at night, as well as sea urchins, fish, and clams, and washed the rest with water, and steamed them in a pot later, saving trouble.

"You don't have to cook at noon, just eat here, and bring the old lady down, what are the two of you cooking, it's a waste of firewood."

"Alright, then I'll cook, Ah Qing can go back to the house, there are people coming and going at the door..."

"I've already cooked the rice, and I'm going to fry the rice bowl at noon. The meat and vegetables have been cut..."

"Then I'll fry..."

It is a local custom to eat mustard rice (rice with rice) on the third day of March. It is not the time yet, but the mustard greens they grow at home have grown very large, and they can chop a tree in advance to stir-fry rice with rice.

This is also very popular, and the whole family likes it very much. The two children ate a big bowl of vegetable rice with sea urchin and steamed eggs, and clamored to eat it at night.

In the evening, Ye Yaodong had no choice but to go to the nearby vegetable field to chop another tree, but when he entered the house, he saw his elder brother coming back, followed by Ye Chenghai with slumped shoulders and a loveless life.

He raised his eyebrows, "Yo? After doing great things and earning a lot of money, you came back? Did you buy anything to honor the third uncle?"

Ye Chenghai cried and mourned, showing a smile that was uglier than crying, "Third Uncle, don't laugh at me..."

"Didn't you say that you can do great things without reading?"

"I was wrong, I almost crawled back..." When he saw the armchair by the door, he slumped on it, with his limbs hanging down naturally.

"How much did you earn today?"

"1 yuan..."

"That's right. If I go again tomorrow, I can earn 30 yuan for one month, 365 yuan for one year, 3650 yuan for ten years, and I can earn [-] to [-] yuan for a lifetime. It's awesome. I can work a few years more than others for nothing..."

Ye Chenghai's face turned pale when he heard that he had worked longer than others, and almost slipped on the ground, "Ah!! No, no, no... I love reading..."

Ye Yaodong almost died laughing, pretending to be surprised: "What's wrong, earning money is not good."

"I almost died... My dad still told me to finish it... Dear dad... Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooty ..."

Other people who were playing in the room also ran out one after another and asked, "Did Ah Hai make a lot of money?"

"Is A Haige Wharf fun?"

"Brother is so powerful, he can make money like Dad..."

"Brother, do you want a treat? Please buy us something to eat..."

Ye Chenghai wanted to cry but had no tears, "Get out!"

Ye Yaodong patted him on the head, "Reading is the most comfortable thing, cherish it young boy, your third aunt will cook rice with rice in the evening, and I will make a bowl for you later."

"Thank you third uncle." He said weakly.

After Ye Yaopeng had time to go to sea at night, he didn't need Father Ye's help.

Ye Yaodong thought about it for a while, and after dinner, he went to tell his father, let him prepare, they will go to sea at night, and let his mother go to his place during the day to watch more.

I wanted to stay at home for two months, but now I can't bear the urging, and it's easy to be asked if I stay at home and don't go to sea.

You can also trawl without preparing bait in advance.

When sleeping at night, Ye Yaodong kept stroking her stomach, confessing uneasy.

I don't know if it's because he thought about it every day and dreamed at night, but at night he actually had a dream. He dreamed that Lin Xiuqing in his previous life was carried back after a tire slipped, with a pale face.

"It's time?" Lin Xiuqing was also awakened by the movement beside her.

He looked at his watch, it was exactly 2 o'clock, "Well, you sleep in your sleep."

It's just a dream, if you don't go to the mountains in this life, you should be fine.

I have already made an agreement with his father, and I can't just stop going in a dream.

Before going to bed, he moved the fishing nets and tools to the cart, as long as he brought some food and water.

Ye Yaodong also paid great attention to going out to sea on the first day of the new year. On the way to the pier, he would first pass the Mazu Temple, so he stopped on purpose to light three sticks of incense first.

Some people who are more superstitious will light three sticks of incense every time they go to sea, and then burn three sticks of incense when they come back.

After arriving on the boat, Father Ye took out yellow paper and lit it and wrapped it three times around his head, three times with his left and right hands, and said something in his mouth, which was a prayer.

Ye Yaodong himself is okay, young people are less particular about it, and old people are superstitious.

After finishing the sense of ceremony, he went to sail the boat, and Father Ye also went to tidy the fishing nets.

The fishing boats at the pier are also heading out one after another.

The sea breeze in early spring was still icy cold, but fortunately he was experienced and did not take it lightly. He wore a sewing hat and scarf, and also wore a mask that Ah Qing sewed himself to keep out the wind.It made Father Ye look at him a few more times.

He touched his pocket, and took one for his father, "Try it, it's good for keeping out the wind, so that your face won't hurt when the wind blows."

Father Ye nodded.

It was the first time he went out to sea in the beginning of the year. He planned to go to the sea area he went to most often, but when he arrived, he found that there were already fishing boats operating there. Ready to release the net.

While trawling the net, avoid it, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, and also fear that the goods will be scarce.

Unexpectedly, when the fishing boat was operating, he unknowingly drove the boat to the isolated island of the oarfish.

He shone back and forth with the flashlight uncertainly, only to be sure that it was the isolated island, and when he was shining, he also found that there was a pointy head protruding from the reef that sank before, about one meter away. .

Submarine reefs are hard to guard against, especially at night, when everything is pitch black, luckily we discovered them in advance, otherwise we might hit them later, and it would be over.

"Dongzi, there is a hidden reef over there..."

"I saw it. It was the reef where the abalones came ashore collectively. I didn't expect that the submerged reef would pop up again in a short time. I will drive over to have a look later when the nets are collected."

Otherwise, the fishing net is easily caught by the reef and damaged.

"Is it the abalone reef? Has it risen again?" Father Ye's heart suddenly became hot.

"Yes, I'll go there later and trawl the net nearby first."

It's dark and I can't see the situation clearly.

　I am lazy and slack today, and there is another chapter later.

　　I really want to ask for leave. I haven’t asked for leave since the book was opened in September. Alas~
