Back to the small fishing village in 1982Y

Chapter 85
Four people worked together to make a total of 5 sacks, 2 bags of juvenile shellfish, 1 big bag of mussels, 2 bags of mixed sea melon seeds, bergamot, snails, and ox eyes, and a full bucket of razor clam and small abalone. Sea chickens and sea turtle eggs were packed into a bucket, and crabs and fish were poured into bamboo baskets, otherwise there would not be enough to hold them.

As for the blue crab king, its feet were tied up and it was thrown directly into the boat. There was really nothing to hold it.

The whole boat was full of goods, piles of sacks, fortunately the tide was high, and the tide overflowed the outermost reef wall. They deliberately waited until the tide was completely up before preparing to leave, otherwise they would not be able to push the boat .

"Dongzi, you don't think it's too much, and you don't think it's troublesome. If you go back with so much, you can't finish eating and send it around, aren't you just tossing around?"

After helping to carry the last bag of shellfish onto the boat, Ah Guang wiped off his sweat. This bag is not light, and the shells are already heavy.

Xiao Xiao also echoed: "Yeah, I think it's much better if I bring two sacks, but fortunately, a sack of spats can only open a sea oyster in the early [-] catties. It’s about the same for two or three days.”

"It's going to be delivered everywhere. My mother told me to dig more. She has to dig out the meat to dry, and then save it to eat slowly. Otherwise, there are so many mouths and workers in the house, and the consumption will be huge."

Ah Zheng pouted, "Your mother is really good at calculating, and it doesn't take too much effort. How long will it take to dig so much?"

"There are a lot of people in the family who can work, and there are three daughters-in-law and one daughter. She doesn't have to work hard, does she?"

"That's true. It's better to have more sons and more people to work."

Ye Yaodong cast a sideways glance at Xiaoxiao, and when he gets old, he will know that his daughter is well.

Son, alas~ I will go to my in-laws’ house to work at that time~

"Is everything on the boat? Don't miss it. If I miss it, I won't come here again."

"It should be nothing. Ours has already been lifted onto the boat. If it falls, it will fall on yours. Just let it go, hehe~ let's go."

Ye Yaodong cast a sidelong glance at Ah Zheng, "Don't you think you're missing something?"

"What? No?" Ah Zheng scanned the boat uncertainly, "No, I brought them all. I only have one bucket and two sacks."

"Then I'm sailing, don't tell me to come back to get the poker for a while, and let your mother beat you up."

"Oh, the poker? Yes, where's my poker?"

He climbed off the boat and ran to the beach to search for it. It turned out that when he was helping Dongzi carry the shells, he put them on the rocks. They were all gray and black. No wonder he didn't notice them.

"Hey, I found it, let's go back."

Ah Guang sat crookedly on the boat and laughed at him, "Did you slap him in the face?"

"Hum..."

Ah Zheng snorted twice and stopped talking.

Ye Yaodong checked again and made sure nothing was left behind before sailing back.

At this time, the sun was almost setting, and he was eager to return home. He was quite tired after being out for a whole day.

His father should be home by this time, right?After all, the tide has been rising for a while.

The thousand catties of sea wolf fish at noon had already fed everyone's stomachs, and everyone just wanted to get home quickly on the return trip, and they didn't want to toss about casting nets anymore.

Scouring the sea is no easier than trawling the sea, especially if you have to climb up to the steep reef wall. Fortunately, the tide has receded to the bottom on the [-]th day, and the reef is completely exposed, so you don't have to worry about slipping your feet and being swept into the sea by the waves.

If it comes at other times except spring tide, the risk factor will double.

When he rowed his boat close to the pier, there were already large and small boats parked around the pier. He was late to dock, and he didn't know if there were any boats that hadn't docked behind.

After docking the boat, they carried the cargo two by two, carrying the juveniles off the boat in bags and putting them on the shore.

Because it was packed in sacks this time, people who came and went at the pier couldn't see what was inside, and some people with good things came up to ask.

They all said nothing.

It's not someone from them, why explain it so clearly?
If they didn't talk, the others would just curiously say a few mysterious words... Then they went about their own business, no one had that much free time.

They didn't load their things into the cart until they borrowed a cart from Ah Cai, and went to the boat to pick up several buckets and put them on the cart.

Because he thought that there were some valuable items in these bags of shellfish, Ye Yaodong was not in a hurry to send that blue crab king to Ah Cai right now, planning to take it home and send it together after picking out everything.

A group of people happily sent them home one by one in order of distance, Ye Yaodong was the third one, and Ah Guang's family lived in the back mountain, the farthest.

After arriving at Ye's house, the whole family was waiting for him alone, even though the sun was setting and he hadn't returned yet, he was afraid that something would happen to him the first time he went out to sea by himself.

Lin Xiuqing was also worried and scared, and kept sitting at the door looking around.

It wasn't until he saw him and Ah Guang that he hurriedly shouted into the room and went up to meet them.

"Why come back so late, next time you come back late, tell me, the whole family is worried about you."

"The four of us are going together. What are you afraid of? There are a lot of shellfish packed today, and it takes a little more time, so it's a bit late."

"Don't be afraid of [-], just be afraid of what happens."

When Mother Ye came out, she saw the whole truck full of sacks and a huge blue crab, her eyes widened in surprise.

"Why is this blue crab so big? How many catties, more than three catties? Why did you bring it back and not take it to A Cai?"

"Don't worry, there are other things in the sack. I'll pick them out later and take them together. Now move the things in."

"Oh, okay, boss and brother, please help carry these sacks to the backyard first."

"Hey!"

Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua looked envious, why didn't Dongzi come back empty-handed?I actually harvested such a big blue crab today.

The second sister-in-law Ye said sour words, "Yaodong really bought this small wooden boat."

Ye Yaodong didn't even raise his eyelids, and he didn't reply to her words, he just said to his elder brother and second brother: "There are two bags belonging to Ah Guang, don't move them by mistake."

"got it."

It was meal time at this time, every household was eating, there were only fishing nets at the door, and there was no one, so it was quite clean.

After moving the goods, Mother Ye smiled and asked Ah Guang to stay for dinner together.

"No, I'll go back and eat."

"You're welcome, just eat at my house. It's an extra pair of chopsticks. I've been busy all day, let's fill my stomach first." Ye Yaodong dragged him into the room for dinner without any explanation.

"I eat a lot..."

"Can you make my family poor just because of you?"

Mother Ye also smiled and said: "Yes, there are only two younger sisters in your family. At this point, they may all eat well. You can eat here."

Ah Guang couldn't refuse, so he had the cheek to stay and eat, thinking about going to their new home tomorrow to help out a bit.
