Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982

  Chapter 7 Going to the Beach

  After Father Ye went out, Boss Ye and Second Ye also went to the pier to watch the boats.

It’s almost the first day of the new year, and the tide has receded recently. If the boat runs aground, they won’t be able to go out to sea tonight. They have to take a look, park the boat outside, and buy a barrel of diesel fuel On the boat, they still have to take advantage of their luck to go out to sea at night.

  The large yellow croaker they caught yesterday was really exciting. They wished they could go right now, but no, the time was too short, and returning after a while would only waste diesel money.

  The woman in the family also sat at the door with a fishing net and started making fishing nets every day.

  The difference is that today they are extraordinarily motivated. After the house is built, they can live in a new house separately. No one is happy.

  Lin Xiuqing was also very happy. When her lips and teeth were still bumping, not to mention between her sister-in-law, she also wanted to have her own little home. When she weaved a fishing net, her movements became faster.

   Their fishing village is called Baisha Village, which is far away from the county seat. It takes more than an hour to walk on the mountain road. The women have to take care of the family, so they can't go out to work to earn money. The only way to make money is to make fishing nets.

Although this job is cheap, it is easy and can be done at home. All the women on the beach can weave fishing nets and mend the nets, while the men in the village mostly go out to do part-time jobs or farm land, and those with boats go out to sea to fish. This is relatively rare.

  Lin Xiuqing has been married for a few years and has also learned how to make fishing nets. After all, her man doesn't do anything, so she can only save money by herself.

  Everyone had work to do, but Ye Yaodong became the most idle one. Even the old lady was helping them thread the needles of the shuttle net.

  He moved around, squatted beside his wife, picked up the fishing net she wove, and asked curiously, "How many gillnets can you weave a day?"

  Lin Xiuqing glanced at him inexplicably, "Five or six photos, the children are crying, and there are too many things to do, there is no way to do more, the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law will do more."

   "Then how much money do you earn this day?"

   "A few cents less than 1 yuan!"

  Ye Yaodong glanced at the fishing net in disgust, pursed his mouth, labor is really cheap!

   Turning his head, he was about to say something when his second son, Ye Chengyang, came up and stuffed the slobbery vegetable melon into his mouth. He was so startled that he sat down on the ground and spit it out quickly.

   "Ah bah ~ yue ~ are you disgusting, you can eat it by yourself, and stuff it in my mouth."

  Mother Ye glanced at him from the side, "My son is filial, and you still despise him."

   "Mother, don't dislike me, I'll feed you a piece of melon with a mouthful of saliva too! My son, don't dislike me!"

   "Don't be disgusting, how old you are, how old he is, the baby's saliva is also clean."

"Touching here and there all day long, stuffing everything in his mouth, how clean can it be?" Ye Yaodong patted his buttocks and sat up. Seeing his son going to step on fishing nets to make trouble again, he quickly took him aside, "Don't be naughty, naughty To beat me up."

   "Don't scare him, he just knows a little bit about it? It's rare that you didn't run out today, just stay at home and watch the child carefully, let your wife weave more..."

   "Lixiang ~ the tide is low, stop doing nets, let's go to the sea together..."

  Ye's mother's real name is Chen Lixiang, and she is the second in the family. She was interrupted before she finished speaking. Looking up, it was her elder sister who told her to go.

  She belongs to this village and married to this village. Every household has more children these days. There are four to five hundred households in Baisha Village, and half of the village is relatives who are turning corners.

   "It's the first day of junior high school the day after tomorrow. Is there anything to dig today?" Although she said so, she still inserted the shuttle net needle into the fishing net and stood up.

   "Go and have a look and you'll know. It won't take long. I heard that someone has already gone. Hurry up. I'll go and have a look first."

   "Hey, good", Mother Ye said to everyone in the yard after answering, "Everyone put away the net first, take a spatula and a bucket of tools to have a look together."

   At this time, most of them verbally called Taohai, and few called them Ganhai.

  Ye Yaodong was idle anyway, so he followed behind.

   After being reborn, he hasn't gone out to see their small fishing village yet.

  Lin Xiuqing hugged her son, and looked at him wonderingly, feeling that he had taken the wrong medicine today, "Aren't you going out today?"

   "Where are you going? You really want me to go out?"

  She turned her head away, who would like her husband to idle around playing outside all day, "No, just ask casually."

   "I don't want to go out today. I will go to the sea with you to see if I can get anything. I haven't gone to the beach for a while."

   It’s true that I haven’t leisurely walked on the beach for a long time. In my previous life, I would only take my grandson to the beach occasionally when I didn’t go to sea during the fishing ban.

  Lin Xiuqing took a look at him, then looked up at the sun shining in the sky, and came out from the west? What a rarity!

  Ye Yaodong watched her actions, the corners of his mouth twitched, what happened to go to Taohai with them?

   Do it again, he wants to work hard.

He turned his head away and stopped talking. He looked at the dilapidated environment around him strangely. After forty years, he couldn't remember what the village was like in the 1980s. Woke up.

The gravel dirt road under your feet is not very easy to walk. If you accidentally fall, you will definitely see blood on your palms and knees. Weeds grow on both sides of the road, and there is a small ditch. There are all low stone bungalows regularly distributed around it. , and a two-story brick and tile house.

Brick and tile houses are newly built in recent years. In the past, it was popular to build houses with stones. After 2020, stone houses are rarely seen. Some are also covered with a layer of cement putty powder and sprayed with paint. up.

   "Oh~"

"ah!"

  Ye Yao looked around without paying attention to his feet, and accidentally stepped on his wife's heel, watching her stagger and fall forward, the child almost flew out.

  He quickly reached out and pulled her, and held her in his arms with the child.

   "Are you okay?"

"What are you doing? You don't look at the road when you walk. It's fine if I fall. What if I dropped the child?" Lin Xiuqing comforted and patted the child on the back with lingering fear. The child was also very bold, neither crying nor making trouble , Seeing that she was not frightened, she also felt relieved.

   "Sorry, I didn't look carefully. The gravel road is not easy to walk. Give me the child, and I will hug it."

   It was really the sun that came out from the west, and he even apologized and asked to hold the baby. He started acting abnormally early in the morning until now, Lin Xiuqing gave him a suspicious look.

   "How are you doing today?"

  Ye Yaodong's heart tightened. Sure enough, the person next to your pillow knows you best, so take your time.

  He put his hands in his pockets, stopped holding the child, and said casually: "It's okay, I was opened by my parents, let's go."

  Lin Xiuqing: "..."

   "What are you looking at, hurry up and keep up, they are all gone."

"oh oh…"
