Back to the small fishing village in 1982Y

About ten days after confinement, Lin's father and Lin's mother also brought the small clothes prepared in advance, chicken, eggs, longevity noodles, red dates and longan and other maternal food to visit.

It wasn't the first time, and they didn't rush so fast, they came over after finishing their homework and getting things ready.

Mother Lin hugged the child with a smile, "Fortunately, you are the third one. The birth will be fast and safe. I thought Adong would send you back after the year."

"He's thinking about the beginning of spring, and we're going to start picking tea again in our house. It's too busy, so don't bother you, and our location is far away, just by the beach, so it's convenient to board the boat if there is any movement, and you can go to the town Or go somewhere for a day or two and come back."

Father Lin also nodded, "That's right. Last month we were on the mountain for the whole month. We went up the mountain before dawn at four o'clock in the morning and came back in the evening. No one can take care of you when you go."

"Don't talk about this, just give birth."

"What's your cousin's name? She has so much flesh on her face that it's almost drooping..." The eldest nephew Lin Guangyuan also came to play with him today, and he also stretched his neck to watch.

Mother Lin gave him a reproachful look, "You can't say that."

"It's called Ye Xiaoxi." Ye Chenghu yelled from the side.

"Call Xiao Jiu!" Ye Chengyang shouted not to be outdone.

Lin Xiuqing smiled and said: "The fortune teller said that she didn't need anything, so she could choose whatever name she wanted. A Dong said that the names of their children all have water, so they should be called Xiaoxi. There just happened to be a family of three, and she was among them. She is ninth among her cousins, and the younger ones call her Xiao Jiu."

Nine sisters, nine sisters, beautiful sister...

When Ye Yaodong heard some mischievous boys call her Jiumei two days ago, he couldn't help thinking of the melody of this song in his mind, and thought it was pretty good...

Call him whatever you want.

"Then who will take care of you after you give birth? Your mother-in-law doesn't live together anymore."

"She stays here during the day to take care of the washing and cooking, and only goes back at night when it gets dark. At night, it's Adong who gets up and works."

Mother Lin was surprised, and then couldn't stop the smile in her eyes, "Ah Dong changed the diaper? Hehe, he really is getting better and better. It's hard work for him. He has to get up several times at night."

Father Lin: "Did he not go to sea at night?"

"No, he's going to pull the ground cage every other day, get some fish and shrimp back to milk me, and I said I can change the diaper by myself, but he insisted."

When Lin Xiuqing talked about this, her face was full of happiness. She didn't expect him to be able to do this.

Although every time she changed her diaper, she hated her to death, but whenever Xiao Jiu cried, he would immediately get up and check if she was peeing or hungry.

When he gave birth to his two sons, he never cared so much.

"It's a good time for you to be born, and there are seafood to eat."

Looking at her daughter's white and tender face, Lin Xiuqing also smiled and said, "Yes, now there is fish soup every day, which is much better than when his two older brothers were born."

Ye Yaodong accompanied them in the room, and went out after listening to them talking for a while.

A group of children meet at the door to dig clams and crabs on the beach.

He also looked up at the beach to make sure that the tide had receded, so he went to the village to call for someone.

His boat had been soaking in the sea for a long time, and a pile of juvenile shellfish and barnacles grew under the boat. When he sailed out to pull the cage these days, he felt a serious draft.

In the vast sea, the most indispensable thing is microorganisms and resident animals.

Especially a kind of organism called barnacles, which can attach to natural rocks, pier dams, ship buoys, seawater pipelines, and can also attach to living things such as blue whales and sea turtles.

Barnacles, spat, mussels, etc. will grow on the bottom of ships that have been sailing on the sea for a long time, regardless of their size. The longer they are not cleaned, the more they will grow.

They will increase the draft of the ship, increase the resistance of the ship, and at the same time the speed of the ship will also slow down, and the fuel consumption of the ship will also increase.Therefore, every boat needs to be cleaned regularly.

When he came back from collecting the ground cages in the morning, he docked the boat on the beach, and when the tide receded, it would run aground on the beach

It just so happened that his father-in-law and mother-in-law were all here today, and he scraped the bottom of the boat to get some fresh oysters and mussels for them to bring back.

He called a group of young and middle-aged men he knew well, and a few cousins, and took a few bundles of ropes to the beach. They had to turn the boat over first.

A group of young people were excitedly picking up stranded small seafood on the beach, and seeing Ye Yaodong bring a group of people over, they all surrounded them.

"Third Uncle, why are you here? Are you going to Taohai too?"

"Third Uncle, look, we caught several crabs, and also picked up a lot of snails and clams..."

"I have a fish here..."

"I have sea urchins and starfish here..."

A group of children carried their little baskets as if offering treasures, wanting to show him.

Ye Yaodong smiled and comforted, "Okay, okay, you guys go pick it up again, and I'll call you for help later."

"What are you doing, third uncle?"

"We're going to turn the boat over and clean the bottom of the boat, and we'll ask you to help pick it up later."

"Okay, okay~"

Some play, what should they do?

All of them walked towards the ship together behind them, and they didn't run around.

"Stay far away, don't get in the way, go to the side and wait."

After Ye Yaodong sent the children aside, he climbed into the boat and tied up the ropes. Amidst the excited yells of the children, the boat was set up by a group of young adults.

"Ah, there are a lot of mussels under the boat."

"And the barnacles..."

"A lot! Wow~"

As soon as they saw the boat was erected, they couldn't wait to run over excitedly, and were about to get under the boat on the spot, Ye Yaodong immediately snorted at them.

"Go aside. When I didn't say that you can approach, none of you can approach, or you will be crushed into meat later, are you afraid?"

They immediately scattered like birds and beasts.

When he was reborn, he was a little more patient with these children, and he would always think about taking them to play with him no matter what.

After the boat stood steadily on its side, he expressed his thanks to the group of people, and after they left, he took out a sack from his pocket and shook it, then greeted the children excitedly.

"Come, come, let me shovel, and you will help pick it up in the sack later."

"Yeah……"

There are a bunch of shells densely growing under the bottom of the boat, including everything, big and small mussels grow in pieces, and there are green ones, but they are not as delicious as the black and purple ones.

There are also barnacles that look like small craters, and spat with oysters growing inside, and shells that are useless.

There was no red paint on the bottom of his boat, and the shells he knocked out were edible.

The bottom of the ship is usually painted with a special red paint.The paint drives or kills any creatures that cling to the bottom of the boat.

In order not to make these shells and worms adhere to the bottom of the ship, in order to reduce the corrosion of the hull by seawater, paints containing toxic substances, such as copper oxide, mercury oxide and iron oxide, are used to coat the hull below the waterline.

These toxic substances mixed in the paint are all red, so the bottom of the ship is red.

Seafood is adsorbed on this layer of paint, and it is generally inedible after being beaten.

His kind of boat is not painted with this kind of paint.

Holding a big shovel in his hand, Ye Yaodong aimed at a small piece of densely grown mussels, scraped vigorously towards the bottom of the boat, and immediately dropped a large bunch of mussels connected together.

The small door on the side rushes up, "I'm coming...I'm coming..."

"Third Uncle, you should shovel more..."

"Okay, you guys back off first, I'll shovel it down a little more, and you pick it up slowly, otherwise it will hit you."

This group of guys are all surrounded by one side, he is not easy to use it, if he shovels it, he will hit their heads.

"Then hurry up."

"Understood, long-winded..."

These mussels are not big, but the green ones are bigger. They are all called mussels, and they are called mussels in the market. When you shovel them vigorously, another piece falls off.

He shoveled it piece by piece, and a pile fell on the beach. His hands were a little sore, so he stopped and asked the children to pick them up first.

He took out two sacks from his pocket and shook them. The bottom of the boat was densely packed, how could one be enough?

"Be careful, don't cut your hands, the edges of these shells are very sharp."

"Do not worry……"

"Little uncle, it's really fun here, there are so many things to pick up on the beach..."

"It's fun, isn't it? I've asked you to come to play with us a long time ago, who told you not to come?"

"They didn't take me with them, they said they would take a long way..."

"Ah? You came here on foot, why don't you take a tractor, even though the tractor is not easy to sit on..."

Ye Chenghu started blah blah blah blah blah, how the tractor was so bumpy...why it was so hard to sit...and said that his nostrils were full of dust...

Hearing Ye Chenghai wanted to hit him a few times, "You can pull it down, no one else can sit if they want to sit, they can only rely on two legs, I haven't even sat before..."

Ye Yaodong picked it up and said: "If you think it's fun, stay here for a few days, eat and sleep with your two cousins, and let them take you to the beach for a few days."

Those who live by the sea think the mountains are fun, but those who live in the mountains think the sea is fun!

"Okay, okay... Then little uncle, help me... Ah, there are bugs... There are a lot of bugs... Are there earthworms on the beach?"

Ye Yaodong looked up and saw several worms growing on the beach in front of him, wriggling like intestines.

"It's a sandworm! It's not an earthworm. Where did the earthworms come from on the beach?"

Others also noticed that a lot of dense sandworms suddenly appeared on the beach around them.

"Like an earthworm, it seems."

"so many……"

"There are also..."

"There are also..."

"Ahhh... so disgusting..." Several girls looked at the densely packed sandworms and cried out how disgusting they were.

"Cut, what's disgusting, haven't you ever played with earthworms? Hurry up and grab them..." Ye Chenghai shouted excitedly.

The other boys were also very excited. How could they feel disgusted and afraid to catch them? They did catch bugs a lot.

Ye Yaodong also shook the sack excitedly, "Put this on!"

Fortunately, he was thoughtful and brought a few extra sacks.
