Back to the small fishing village in 1982Y

Chapter 450 The locust crossing is over

The women on the beach, who were lowering their heads and struggling to pull shells into their buckets, were all chatting excitedly while working.

How big was the typhoon blowing last night?How bad is the rain in the house?What was damaged by the typhoon?Or something was blown away by the typhoon?Did everyone else pick up some fish or something good just now?What surprised them even more was that they could run away when they saw scallops.

"I've lived such an old age, and I didn't expect these scallops to run away? We have to row faster, or they will all run away."

"Who said it wasn't? It's the first time I've seen a scallop that can actually run, and it runs pretty fast."

"I also thought it wouldn't move, like a sand clam, I didn't expect it to run..."

"Dig quickly, or every time the tide rises, a bunch of scallops will run into the sea..."

"Yoyo~ Can you still turn?" A woman excitedly pointed at the scallops that were opening and closing to escape in the sea.

This is called live for a long time!

Most of the scallops live in the shallow seabed of hundreds of meters at low tide, and the catch is relatively small. It will take a few years for people to breed them one after another.

It is relatively rare in daily life, and everyone does not know that scallops can run.

Ye Yaodong saw it too, turned a 180-degree turn, and then ran away. He scooped it up, the scallop lay on the sieve and became obedient in an instant, pretending to be dead and not moving.

Those women saw Ye Yaodong standing in the water, and there were only about a dozen of them in the water, and they were immediately puzzled.

"Why don't you take a bucket or a dustpan? How many can you hold?"

He didn't explain much, he just said that there was no dustpan or dustpan at home.

"Then you can also take a washbasin!"

The old man next to him understood, "All he fished were live scallops. Although we pulled a lot, there were a lot of empty shells inside, and there were also worthless sea oysters or mussels, sea melon seeds and clams. Can't tell who has more than who."

The woman was also a little moved when she saw him fishing. Because the scallops were rarely caught, although they were all shells, the big ones could sell for three or four cents a catty, and the small ones were also about three cents. The shells had weight, and the big ones were a few Each one weighs a pound, which is quite a lot.

Although there are many people on the beach, it is still easy for the family to pick up a few hundred catties and go back, and it can also be sold for a hundred yuan, which is a lot of income.

The woman next to her was also eager to catch those who ran into the sea, and she lifted her own bucket, only to realize that she was not leaking, so she couldn't catch them.

The younger boy next to him went into the water with a dustpan, but he felt too tired after a while, and repeatedly bent over to get up, but it was not as easy as squatting there all the time.

And what's more, just a little bit, not as much as the people around you are pulling into their arms, it's simply incomparable.

After a few strokes, the young boy gave up and continued to attack the shell coastline. He felt that paddling along the shore would be quicker and more efficient.

He also said this to the women at the same time, and everyone felt that it was quite reasonable, as paddling on the shore could catch more shellfish.

Ye Yaodong didn't take it seriously, he took it from him.

The tide has been washing there, and the living scallops followed the tide and ran into the sea one after another. Those piled up next to them were either dead, meatless, or pressed under and unable to move.

His father, mother, and wife are all pulling shells there, so he doesn't have to worry about all kinds of shellfish, so he'd better make more money and sell them.

It's just right for one person to fish, and if the fish slipped through the net, just see if the ground cage can catch a little.

Some people also looked at the ground cage net washed by the waves in the shallow water, and discussed who put it there?

If you come early, you can still see that it was him and his father, but if you come late, you can only find out from others.

I happened to see him in the sea, moving a little bit along the coastline to fish, and someone was free to ask.

"Yaodong, I heard that these ground cages in the sea were placed in front of you? What can there be on the coast? The typhoon is over."

"Yeah, how many things can be stored in the ground cage, if you want to store it, you should have put it in the typhoon yesterday, and you can have a little more..."

Ye Yaodong straightened his body, clenched his fists, and thumped on his back, then looked at the sky, the sky was glowing red, and the sun had already come out, now he hid in the clouds again, today is cloudy, The clouds are extremely thick, but fortunately there is no sun, so it will not be too hot.

He twisted his hips and looked at those old aunts and aunts, "When there is a typhoon and a big wave, you can blow it away in two or three strokes, and you can uproot a big tree, not to mention this ground cage."

The village didn't know how it was affected by the typhoon. They were busy on the beach when they opened the door in the morning. They didn't even eat breakfast, and they didn't go to the village or the old house.

"It should be put outside, there will be more goods brought in by the waves outside..."

Now without him saying anything, the others retorted, "The typhoon just passed, who went out to release the nets? The waves outside are bigger than those on the shore, so we have to wait for two days anyway."

"I just said that casually..."

"When will you collect this ground cage? Maybe you can catch some scallops."

"I'm sure I can net a little bit. Yaodong is a quick thinker, isn't he? Everyone just came out with a dustpan, and you've already laid down the ground cage."

"I live close, and my new home is right by the beach... I don't know how many fish I picked up early in the morning... Oh? Yes, how many fish did you pick up this morning?"

This question is on point.

Ye Yaodong smiled and showed his white teeth, "We didn't pick up much this morning, so others won't know."

The ones in his house were all picked up last night.

Hurry up to work, and later I will take the fish at home to the pier to sell. There is no ice, so as not to keep it stale for a long time.

He walked and fished along the coastline, and when he saw familiar people, he even said hello and chatted a few times, and happened to walk up to the fat man and his wife, who were still being scolded.

When the fat man saw him, he seemed to see a savior, "Dongzi, you put these cages? When will you collect them?"

"Look, let's collect it the day after tomorrow. It's just released in the morning. I guess the tide will recede the day after tomorrow. It's not so full."

The two fishing nets can be collected first if they are later.

"You can make a lot of money?"

"Aren't you the same? The speed of this paddle is much faster than what I can fish."

It is because of this that others did not follow his example and went back to get the ground cage to release.

How fast is it going like this?Run back to get the ground cage, and then put it in the sea, how much time is wasted?

Now that there are so many people here, when you put the cage in place, half of the shell coastline will be removed by the villagers. How fast is it to squat on the shore and paddle if you have time?

The fat man nodded in agreement, "That's right, there seems to be a lot of empty shells and other shells. I have to pick them when I go back. My wife will have to work hard then."

Ye Yaodong laughed loudly, "Now you know how well you said it?"

The fat man's wife gave the fat man a hard look, "You can carry a sack to other women, so that they will have to work hard."

"Uh..." Fatty didn't dare to say anything because he was guilty, and quickly changed the subject, "How was your house last night? Did it leak badly?"

"There was no water leakage in the house last night, so I don't know how the old house is. Don't worry about taking my parents over yesterday."

The fat man said enviously: "It's better to have a new house. We didn't sleep all night. The rain wasn't so heavy in the morning, so we woke up after a while..."

Fatty was afraid of being caught by his wife, so he simply chatted with Ye Yaodong by rambling.

Ye Yaodong was also very cooperative.

Many people are powerful!

The folks are just like the locusts crossing the border. They haven't slept all night and are still full of energy. Each of them seems to have been injected with chicken blood. The long coastline has almost disappeared in less than half a morning, and it has filled the places behind them. There are sacks and bamboo baskets.

Ye Yaodong also straightened his aching back, looked at his watch, it was only around nine o'clock, rich, these people can really survive!

The bright smiles on each face covered the dark circles under the eyes, and after asking each other, they pulled a few bags and fished a few baskets.

Some are still reluctant to stand up, still picking up the residue on the shore, their buttocks are washed by the sea water, and they are still squatting there, which looks very funny. When they stand up, only the squatting buttocks are wet, the buttocks above the waist The following are dry.

Father Ye, mother Lin Xiuqing, and everyone else are the same.

When they pushed the cart to the house, a bunch of children in the family gathered at the door. The old lady watched them with a whip, and laughed at them when they saw them come back with wet buttocks.

"Mom and Dad peed their pants~"

"Father and mother peed their pants in embarrassment~"

"Grandpa and grandma also wet their pants~"

"Hahaha~"

"Go, go, go, people hate dogs!"

"Dad, why didn't you pee your pants, everyone did!"

"That's right, third uncle, why didn't you pee your pants?"

"Hahaha, Dad is definitely not in a hurry..."

Ye Yaodong glared at them, "I will help you pick later, and I will show mercy and not beat you."

"A little bit~"

A group of children laughed and wandered around several adults, talking about who had more wet pants and peed more, making people speechless.

After the adults lifted each other's shells, they yelled again, "There are so many~"

"A lot of shells~"

"Get rich~"

"Ah, can we go to the beach to pick it up? Is there any more?"

"It seems to be gone, there is no such thing as a white line, it has been moved away by everyone..."
