Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982

  The two children were jumping and jumping excitedly, stepping on the water and running out, Ye Yaodong couldn't stop him, he yelled from behind, and hurried to follow.

   "Wow~ Dad, there are so many quacks and fish in the sea~"

Ye Yaodong also saw it, and saw the goods in the sea rolling with the waves, coming on the waves, the rolling yellow tide washed the fish and clams onto the beach, and brought them into the sea again, but there were still a lot left on the shore. Got stuck on some rocks on the shore and didn't go back with the tide.

  He held the two children by their collars, "Take it easy, you two, don't move forward, don't be swept away by the waves."

  Ye Chenghu twisted his body and struggled, "If I don't move forward, I'll just pick up quack, right there, there are lots of rocks piled up there, and there are small fish and crabs, let go, Dad..."

  Ye Yaodong has seen it a long time ago, "Be careful, Yangyang will go home and get the bucket."

   "No, brother go."

  Ye Chenghu clenched his fist and gestured at him, "Go, if you don't, I'll beat you."

  Ye Chengyang looked at Ye Yaodong aggrievedly, "Father~"

  Ye Yaodong was indifferent, who made him the smallest, who would he go to?

   "If you are told to go, go, hurry up."

  Ye Chengyang shrunk his mouth aggrieved, unwilling to reconcile, turned his head three times at a step, and walked a few steps before trotting home.

   Then Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua, two couples also wearing rain boots and carrying a bucket, came with Ye Chengyang.

  The rain had just stopped at this moment, and only the three of them were picking up small seafood by the beach. The children next door had gone to school and hadn't finished school yet.

  But not long after, the neighbors next door saw them picking up small seafood on the beach, so they also came to pick them up together.

  People in the village waited for the rain to stop and ran to the beach to watch the waves, and picked them up along the way.

  It’s also seafood, and you can add another meal if you pick it up. It’s been raining for so many days, and everyone hasn’t eaten fresh fish and shrimp for a long time. Now that you see it, there’s no reason not to pick it up.

  Although the waves haven’t receded, you can still pick up some here and there by the beach, and it’s okay to add meals.

   When the tide recedes the next day, there will be more people on the beach.

  Ye Yaodong carried a half-full bucket of goods, straightened his waist, looked at the dense crowd of people by the beach, and thumped his lower back. It was tiring to keep bending over to pick things up.

   "Everyone is probably suffocated, come out to breathe, and pick up some seafood by the way."

"Yeah, I haven't eaten fresh food for a whole month. The rain has just stopped these two days, and there are no boats to go out to sea. Why don't we all come to the beach to pick up some food for dinner?" Ye Yaopeng also straightened his waist and said with a smile .

  Ye Yaohua had just caught a small blue crab and said happily: "Going out to sea this night will definitely bring something to catch."

  Ye Yaodong looked into the distance, the sea was still turbulent and the sea was turbid, "I don't know if the waves are big at night."

   "Wake up at night and take a look. If the waves are not too big, go there quickly, taking advantage of the heavy rain just after, and the goods are abundant." Ye Yaohua was very excited, and he wanted to go out to sea as soon as possible.

   This time, after so many days of rain, everyone was not so impatient. After all, they had just made a fortune before the rainy season came.

  Ye Yaodong earned more than 1,200 points after deducting the money for the net machine, the wages for his father, and miscellaneous money.

   Not to mention, his father followed him and made a lot of money. In addition, his elder brother and second brother can also share a portion of the rent of the fishing boat. The two old men have a lot of money now.

   But it's still early to retire, and his father is still young and still able to follow him! The old lady is 81 years old, and she is still farming there. His father is only in his 50s, so why should he retire?

  However, at this moment, Father Ye is really settling accounts with Mother Ye. How much money does he have? He also said there that he can retire and save enough money for the coffin...

"Why do you retire? You don't want to work anymore after you're only over 50? Do you still want your sons to start supporting you now? How much pressure does Dongzi have? Think about it, son."

   "He has an old man and a young man, and there is a filial piety at home who always wants to respect me, an old man. You are only over 50 and want to retire, what do you want to eat?"

"Usually, I always say that Dongzi is lazy and doesn't work. You are not right at the top and crooked at the bottom. If you retire now, you will be no better than him before? After all, Dongzi has grown up, and you are not Said to help him for a few years, lighten his burden, and still think about retirement?"

"You are ashamed to take his so much wages. Shouldn't I help my son more? He still needs to raise children. You don't need them, and I don't even ask you to raise them. Dongzi bought this radio for me. ..."

The old lady was sitting beautifully on the armchair listening to the drama on the radio, but when she heard Father Ye say that she could retire, she immediately became furious, and she was so angry that she scolded Father Ye **** .

Father Ye was stupefied by the old lady's aura, and said in a condescending way: "I... I just said it casually... I don't want to really retire and stop working. Then when I retire, I will also plant land ah…"

"What kind of land are you planting? I can do it with a total of one-third of an acre of land. You need to plant it? Don't be lazy. If you should follow Dongzi to sea, just follow me honestly. Help him watch more, he You are still young and have little experience, you are an old man, you have to pay more attention to him and help him more."

   "Don't want to work if you have some money in your pocket. No...I have to talk to Dongzi, I can't count that much wages for you. Once this person has money, he doesn't want to work anymore. He's so lazy..."

  After the old lady scolded Father Ye, she turned off the radio, turned her head and walked outside the house, planning to go to Ye Yaodong's house now, and planned to tell him to give less money to his father.

   "Huh? I don't want to work when I have money? Hey, hey... where are you going?"

Father Ye immediately stopped the old lady with a headache, "I just said that casually, why are you reacting so much? You are old, don't be fooled, the rain has just stopped outside, the road is full of mud, and the stones are slippery. You Calm down, don't cause trouble to others."

  The old lady was still angrily not giving Father Ye a good face, and shook off his hand, "Who is causing trouble, you still think I'm troublesome, don't you?"

"When you are old, you will be hated by others. Then I will not live with you. I will live with Dongzi. I will move in tomorrow. I hate you when I see you. You are going to retire anyway. You are useless. It's..."

   "I'll move there, at least I can show him the baby... that's right... I'll move in tomorrow to show him the baby. I can't help him with the boat, but fortunately, I can help him at home..."

  The old lady stopped while talking, thinking that her idea was good, and she really planned to go back to the house to pack her clothes and things...

  Father Ye looked at her rummaging through the boxes and cabinets there, and really planned to pack her clothes. His head was getting big, and he regretted it to death.

   I really shouldn't be quick to talk about retirement. His old lady usually saves trouble, but when it comes to Dongzi-related matters, he puts him first in everything and starts messing around.

   "Calm down, aren't you making trouble for him by moving there?"

   "What mess can I make, as long as I have a stutter, I can also babysit him, water and pick vegetables in the vegetable field, I am much more useful than you."

"Then let me ask you, where do you move to live? He has two houses in total, one for the two sons, and one for the husband and wife. You used to build another house for you. Aren't you making trouble? You love him , don’t make trouble for him.”

  The old lady stopped when she heard this, and realized that he couldn't live there.

She sighed suddenly, "Oh... can't you live? It seems that I am useless as an old man. Poor Dongzi, there is no one to help. My wife has to take care of three children and has to work hard. Even those who are busy at home can't go out to sea with him...he's alone at sea..."

  Father Ye almost knelt down when he heard this self-pitying words.

  "Mom, I didn't say I wouldn't help him, I just said casually, I'm not retiring, can I go to sea with him? Can't I work for him until 80..."

The old lady suddenly smiled, "There is no need to work until you are 80 years old, don't you have to retire? The palm of the hand is meat, and the back of the hand is also meat. You can help him for a few more years. When he is more mature and experienced, When you want to retire, you can retire."

  Father Ye wiped the sweat from his brow, and his old mother was sure of his filial piety.

"I know, he is holding it in the palm of his hand, and I don't care about the back of the hand. I said that before, don't worry, let him go to sea alone, I am not at ease, he is not the boss, the second is obedient and steady, I I will sail him for a few years and help him a little."

"Well, that's good. But you can't charge him too much money. Look, how much do you pay for catching a squid? In the early 200s? That's too much. Whose boatman gets so much a month? Money? He still needs to raise children, there are so many mouths in the house..."

"Oh, won't mine be theirs in the future? I will share it with them in the future, and I will just help them save money in advance. You can stop worrying about it. His family is rich. In the past six months, he has not Less good stuff."

   "What he got was his. It was only half a year after being exposed to wind and sun all day at sea, and his face and neck were so tanned..."

   "Mom, I've worked hard too! I've been exposed to the wind and the sun with him too! Look at my face, it's much darker than his, and it's been so cold for the past few months..."

   "Uh..." The old lady coughed dryly and couldn't speak, "Then don't you know how to apply some clam oil?"

   "Cough...then... then you can save it for him, and give him more points when you die of old age."

   Alas, he is too difficult. He is only over 50, and the old mother is thinking about waiting for him to die so that she can give her grandson more money.

   "Okay, you can continue to listen to your radio, the battery is out, tell me, don't go to buy it by yourself, the road is slippery in rainy days."

   "Got it, got it."

  Mother Ye watched Father Ye come out of the old lady's room shaking his head, pursed his mouth, and his old lady was carrying it by herself.
