Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982

  Passing through one piece after another of high and low reefs, seeing the shellfish growing on them, if you have intensive phobia, you should get goose bumps.

   But, he seems to have seen the wild kelp in the gap?

   "Kelp?"

  The wind on the island is so strong that the kelp on the reef is blown out.

  When he came here before, his attention was always on the beach, and he didn't look carefully at the nearby reef. Anyway, the goods on it would not run away. When he returned now, he looked around and saw it.

  Cultivated kelp grows on ropes, while wild kelp grows on rocks and grows on rocks.

  These days, the villages around them don't grow kelp. It seems that it will be a few years before the village committee learns planting techniques from other counties and organizes the villagers to plant it.

  He can't remember clearly either, it's been too long, and he himself has always been in a muddle.

  Thinking that wild kelp is not easy to get, there are few in general places, and even less farmed ones, he hesitated for a moment, and walked towards the edge of the reef.

  Originally, I wanted to dig out the razor clams first and then slowly pry the goods on the stone wall. Now I go to have a look, and then take a look, and it doesn't take much time.

Taking a closer look, the things flying inward in the wind are kelp, and I don’t know how long it has been growing. Some are so big that they are directly attached to the rocks by the wind, and only the small ones will flutter a few times in the wind. .

  Normal kelp is not green, but yellow-brown. It is connected to these rocks, and it looks like a whole from a distance. It is impossible to tell whether it is a rock or something has grown, so it is easy to ignore it.

  He put down the bucket, stretched out his claws and tore at the large piece of kelp forcefully, then tore it off.

   Irregular shape, the head and the middle are thicker, and the tail is a little thinner. The whole sheet is slippery and thick in the hand.

  Looking at the scattered scattered around, some still in the gap between the reefs, he unceremoniously tore off the large sheets, and since he encountered them, he would throw as many as possible and throw them all into the sack.

   Some grew on taller stones, and he climbed them.

  The stones covered by kelp are relatively slippery, and there are no barnacles growing on them. They look smooth, just like stones, and are really easy to be ignored.

  Tearing these seaweeds is also very trouble-free and simple. If you have a knife, it will be more convenient and efficient.

  He threw all of them into the sack one by one, and he stopped and jumped down until he squeezed out all the small pieces around him, leaving only palm-sized ones.

   And the inside of the sack also became heavy. The kelp was full of water and was so big that it took up 1/4 of the entire sack. Fortunately, there was nothing in it that could hold it.

Both hands, the left hand was heavy, and the right hand was also full. He looked at the bamboo slices stuck on the beach not far away, and could only put those razor clams first. He carried these things back, and by the way Look at his wife.

  I always feel that I brought her out this trip not for fun, but for hard work...

  As soon as he came, he left her there alone, and let her pry slowly and secure the guarantee, while he wandered around.

   "Wife!"

   "Ah! You came back, did you catch a lot of fish?" Lin Xiuqing turned around with a smile, then put down the tools in her hand, and trotted towards him, "Is the bucket full again? There is still half a sack?"

  Ye Yaodong kissed her on the cheek, "Everyone is boring?"

   "It's okay! What's so boring about work? Okay, why are you kissing me? Do you feel that your conscience can't bear it? Leave me here alone?"

  Aha, so sensitive, I immediately noticed that he was a little guilty.

   "Cut~ I am rewarding you for your hard work and catching sesame spots. I will give you a loving encouragement."

  Lin Xiuqing laughed so hard that she couldn't see her teeth, "You can pull it down! You still love to encourage, where did you learn this? You are getting more and more slick."

   "Aren't you also very happy to hear it, and your heart is full of joy?"

  He doesn't believe that there are no women who don't like to listen to good words, especially those from their husbands.

  Lin Xiuqing glanced at him reproachfully, and then glanced at the bucket. There was a dog shark in it, which was nothing unusual. I had already seen a bucket ahead.

  She opened the sack again and took a look, suddenly surprised, "Huh? There are kelp! Where can I get it?"

"Over there," Ye Yaodong pointed her in a direction, "There is a small piece of reef that is sunken there, and it didn't grow much. I tore off the big piece, and the small piece of palm-sized ones are useless. It can grow longer there, and it will be picked next year."

   "This is good. A whole piece can be dried and rolled up and stored for a long time. We can't eat it in the mountains if we want to eat it. When the time comes, I will send a few slices to my parents. My mother seems to like it too."

   Damn like it?

  He really doesn't know this, he is the unfilial son.

   "Well, you can figure it out. Go back later and see if there are any ribs to buy. In the evening, I will cook a pot of seaweed ribs soup. If I don't have any, I will go to the fat man to rob. There is basically no meat left, and I am not afraid of missing bones."

  Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "The big blackie at home has eaten again."

   "Well, after raising it for more than half a year, it is indeed becoming more and more competent. I heard the dog barking there several times at night, which must have deterred many petty thefts."

"I also dug a sack for those shellfish. It was so heavy that I couldn't even move it. I filled it with buckets and poured it into the sack when it was full. Otherwise, it would be difficult to move it. I didn't dare to fill it too much. It’s full, I’m afraid it’s too heavy, and it won’t be easy to carry it on board later.”

   "It doesn't matter, I have it. I will carry it later, you can fill it with a bucket and then pour it in. You can do whatever is convenient, and don't divide it so carefully. Anyway, you have to pick and choose when you go back."

"Well," Lin Xiuqing replied with a smile, "You still want to go over there? There are quite a lot of shells on the rocks here, and the two of us can't finish digging. You should just dig here too. ? Don't pass by?"

   "There is a small piece of razor clams on the beach over there. That can sell for some money. I plan to dig those up and come to accompany you."

"Then shall I go with you? We will dig together and have company. If we want to talk, there will be no one. I knew that in the morning, I would have called the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law together. Anyway, they were still at home weaving fishing nets. It might be better to take a trip together, and we will have company when we talk together, and it will not be boring."

He thought that his daughter-in-law had been married for so long, and she really didn't have many friends. She only had a lot of contact with his two sister-in-laws and younger sisters, and the relationship with neighbors was not as good as a family. Easy.

   "Next time! Next time I will bring you a companion. If you feel bored, let's go back first? It's noon, are you hungry?"

   "I'm not hungry. I just ate several white shrimps. This is the first time I've eaten raw ones. It's quite sweet."

   "Well, these fresh wild seafood can be eaten raw. If you feel hungry or tired, let's go back first?"

   "No, no, it's not easy to go out. It's only noon now, and the tide just recedes, and the tide doesn't rise that fast."

   "Okay, let's dig out the razor clams together first."

  Since she was so excited and wanted to continue, he definitely couldn't spoil the fun by mentioning the two children in front of her, making her think about it again and not having fun.

  Lin Xiuqing happily emptied the bucket on her hand, then lifted her hand, put tools in it, and took his arm.

  At this time, she realized that he threw the rain boots on the beach and she was barefoot.

   "Hey, are you still barefoot?"

   "Well, the front got wet when I got into the water, so I took it off, and it's quite comfortable and soft to step on the beach with bare feet."

   "Then I will take it off too."

  Lin Xiuqing threw the rain boots on the beach, then took off the stuffed socks, and rolled up the trousers, revealing her white and tender toes.

   Two pairs of feet, one big and one small, but equally white and tender.

  She couldn't help but tease: "Look at your feet, they are whiter than women's. Are you embarrassed?"

  And she also used her toes to hook a small amount of sand on the back of his instep, and evenly smeared it on the back of his instep with her sole a few times.

  Looking at his insteps, which were stained with brown sand, she stopped her feet in satisfaction.

  Ye Yaodong smiled when he saw her rare naughty behavior, and let her grab him and step on him at will.

   "The feet are not the whitest yet."

   "Then where is the whitest?"

   "Ass! Do you want to take a look and verify it?"

   "Fuck you!" Lin Xiuqing glared at him reproachfully, let go of his arm, and trotted forward.

  Ye Yaodong took the tool, and the bucket chased after him, "Sunshine, beach, sea waves, and white buttocks are also very harmonious~"

   "Hahaha~ You are so shameless~"

   "I'm your man, why not be ashamed? I'm called fun~"

  Lin Xiuqing laughed while running...
