Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982

  The strong torrential rain was pouring outside the window, and the typhoon was blowing outside the house, intensifying, roaring like a wounded beast, scurrying around, and the doors and windows were shaking all night.

  The children became more excited one by one, and none of them wanted to sleep.

Ye Chengyang climbed up on the stool and played with the candles on the table in the house, covered his ten fingers with a hat, screaming that his mouth was hot, and muttering to himself Know what you're talking about.

  After all ten fingers had put on the wax-like cap, he kept moving his fingers to crack it, and then extended it into the candle oil, playing repeatedly, how could it not be enough?

  Ye Chenghu was lying on the window looking at the darkness outside the window, the wind was howling, and there was also a ghost screaming there, shouting: "The ghost is coming, the ghost is coming!"

  Lin Guangyuan happily kept somersaulting on the bed, playing upside down, he was so excited.

"Cousin, your house is so nice that it doesn't leak water. Whenever there is a typhoon and heavy rain in our house, it's like a sieve. When I was a child, I could only sleep on the table in the main room. My mother sat by the table and watched over me all night. Now that I'm older, I can only let the youngest sleep."

"It's the same with us! When it rains, all the bowls at home are taken out and put on the bed to catch water. This is a new house, so there is no water leakage. You can go back and ask your father to build a new house, so that there will be no rain in the future when it is windy and rainy." No more leaks."

   "But our family has no money."

   "Then you make money. You were very diligent when you first came here, and you carried sandbags to make money. You have changed now. You are so lazy. You eat and work at home every day, don't work, and run around all day without a trace..."

  Ye Yaodong just pushed the door in with the brewed malted milk, and wanted to put them to sleep, but when he heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he looked at his eldest son speechlessly.

   These words seem to be what his parents said about him before, right?

  Learning really fast, children are really easy to be influenced, and adults learn very fast.

   What he said sounds particularly strange, and there is a feeling of irony.

  Lin Guangyuan also looked at him speechlessly, "Do you think carrying sandbags is a good job? You also said that I have changed, I was forced to go, it's not because your father is cruel..."

   "Why am I so cruel? People don't carry sandbags until they are 20 years old. You have been carrying sandbags since you were 15 years old. If you stick to it, you will earn five years more than others."

   "Huh?" Lin Guangyuan's mind froze instantly, and he always felt that something he said was wrong, but he felt quite reasonable.

   "Wow~It smells so good~"

  Ye Chengyang looked like a stealing cat. When he smelled it, he immediately climbed off the stool and ran over with hands and feet, hugging his leg.

  Ye Chenghu also ran over quickly, "Malted milk~malted milk~"

  One person hugged one leg, and the malted milk in his hand shook a little, and a little bit of it spilled out, "Stop, stop, it's about to be poured out, don't move, Lin Guangyuan's, go to the table for your own."

  The two immediately let go after hearing the words.

  Lin Guangyuan leaned on the railing at the head of the bed, and said happily: "Little uncle, can we eat it dry? I heard that malted milk is delicious when eaten dry, I want to eat it dry."

   "Whatever you want, I'll eat dry tomorrow morning."

   "Can we have a bite now?"

"Fine."

  He can still satisfy such a simple wish.

   "Okay~"

  After their wish was fulfilled, the children's faces were filled with happy smiles. For them, happiness is so simple.

  The three of them took small sips of malted milk extract, hoping to keep the taste of malted milk extract in their mouths longer, and they couldn’t just pour the whole bowl into it just because they could take a dry bite.

   After they finished drinking, Ye Yaodong gave each of them a spoonful in the palm of their hand and asked them to chew dry.

  The granules of malted milk extract are crunchy in texture. The granules crunch in the mouth, melt as soon as they are chewed, and slowly melt in the mouth. The lips and teeth are sweet and fragrant, extremely happy.

   "Little uncle, you are so nice here, I am reluctant to go back."

   "I have no shortage of sons, you have to go back and forth when you have stayed enough."

   "Hey, why am I not born to my sister?"

"Beautiful idea! Two sons are enough, I don't want to have three sons," Ye Yaodong said angrily, "Blow out the candles and go to sleep after drinking, don't let me dawdle in there. "

  The responses were all pleasant to the ear, and when he turned his head away, the three should play or play, how to quarrel or how to quarrel.

   The noise was almost louder than the symphony outside. The roof was not blown off by the typhoon, but was almost blown off by their noise first.

  The next door heard the movement here, and they also shouted and echoed there. Several people intensified their talking and chatting through the wall, and the wall was banged by them.

   Is this okay?

  Mother Ye came over to tell them and told them to go to bed quickly. Lin Xiuqing came over with a whip on her back and slammed the table a few times.

  It was windy outside, the rain was crackling, the waves were rolling and roaring, and there was a mix of noise, but it didn't hurt the children's sound sleep.

  Even the adults were concerned at first, worried that the wind and waves would be too strong, but the environment was so comfortable that they fell asleep lying down in the middle of the night.

  It wasn't until the early morning of the next day that the wind stopped and only the pouring rain was still falling. The whole family woke up and realized that they had fallen asleep last night. They didn't even know when the typhoon would pass.

  When Ye's father and Ye's mother got up, the old lady had already started a fire and cooked porridge. She smiled and said, "The typhoon has stopped. It's rare that there was no water leakage yesterday, so I can sleep for a while."

  Father Ye saw that it was still raining outside the house, so he took the coir raincoat hanging behind the door and put it on, "I'll go out first to see the tide."

   "I'll go out with you to have a look too." Mother Ye couldn't go out last night, so she hurriedly put on her coir raincoat and bamboo hat and went out together.

   "What are you messing with, even if it's raining heavily..."

   "Won't people see it? You look at your waves, I look at my fish, the wind was so strong yesterday, maybe it blew at night..."

   The couple quarreled and opened the door one after the other to go out, but their voices were also blocked behind the door.

  The old lady is still sitting in front of the stove and burning a fire, motionless as a mountain. She is so old that she doesn't go out to make people worry. Making money is the job of young people.

  It's just that Ye's mother hurriedly slapped the door panel and shouted to open the door as soon as she walked out of the house.

  The old lady thought something was wrong, so she hurriedly got up and opened the door, "What's wrong? What happened? Why are you in such a hurry? It's still raining heavily outside..."

   "Oh, stop talking, wake them up, there are a lot of scallops by the beach." Mother Ye interrupted the old lady's chatter impatiently, and hurried in to slap on the door of Ye Yaodong and his wife's room.

  He was worried about the strong wind and waves, so he didn't sleep much at night. Now he was sleeping soundly with his wife in his arms, and Ye Mu eagerly slapped on the door panel, which scared the couple to wake up, thinking that the house was blown away by the typhoon.

  Ye Yaodong didn't bother to put on his clothes, he only put on a pair of shorts, grabbed a vest and rushed to open the door, "What's wrong? Is the tide coming up?"

  He said anxiously while putting a vest on his head.

   "Hurry up and pick up scallops, piles of scallops are piled up on the beach, just like rice, you go quickly ~ call your daughter-in-law together... I'll call your eldest brother and second brother..."

   "Hey, it's really like rice, someone is already holding a bucket by the beach... Hurry up..."

  Mother Ye walked out while speaking with quick legs and feet, with a happy and eager expression on her face, wishing she could have a Hot Wheels on her feet.

  Ye Yaodong was surprised to see his mother come and go in a hurry, so he hurried into the house to put on his pants, "I'll go out first to see what's going on, I don't know how many scallops, I'm so excited."

  Lin Xiuqing also got up quickly to put on clothes and pants, "Should be quite a lot? Otherwise, mother wouldn't rush over to knock on the door in such agitation. It must be that the typhoon blew a lot of scallops ashore yesterday."

   "Go out and have a look first, it's still raining outside, and the sky is still gray."

   "It's only 5:50. The rain doesn't seem to be as heavy as yesterday, and there is no wind. The typhoon should have passed."

   "Well, take your time, I'll go out and have a look first."

  The wet rain boots from last night were still wet, and when I put my feet in, I felt a cold and wet feeling, but there was nothing I could do about it. This pair of rain boots had to be worn even when it was wet. It was raining, so I couldn’t wear liberation shoes to the beach.

  After going out, Ye Yaodong didn't care about washing up, and took the lead in standing by the door with his coir raincoat in his hand, looking not far away.

  The rain in the morning has gradually slowed down, and the light rain is dripping from the eaves, and there is no wind, but it feels a little cold.

  In the distance, the sky is still gloomy, the sky and the sea are the same color, it is very dark and cloudy.

The gate of the courtyard was wide open, and I saw a few people squatting on the edge of the beach. I couldn't tell exactly how many scallops there were. I just felt that there seemed to be an extra arc on the edge of the beach. His second brother and sister-in-law next door just ran out in a hurry. Neighbors also ran towards the beach.

  He put on the bamboo hat after putting it on, and ran out in the light rain.

   There is no wind resistance, and running is much smoother.

As soon as he ran out of the house, he saw a lot of fish, shrimps and crabs scattered on the ground. The quality of the fish was not very good, and the size of the fish was also a bit small. It was not as good as the ones they picked up in the wind and rain last night. It wasn't screened by the early risers.

   When there is really nothing to eat, these can also be picked up, and they can be eaten.

  Anyway, he didn't notice it at the moment, he just ignored it and walked over.

  If he is free at other times, he might still pick it up, and use it as bait, so let’s forget it now.

   After he trotted closer, he was surprised to see the clams, scallops, juveniles, mussels and other shellfish forming a small arc around the shoreline.

  It's only been one night, and these shells can already form a small circle around the coastline.
