Chapter 206 Recovering the Ground Cage Net
A few days later, when they had just finished their meal, Mother Ye suddenly came to the house with a smile and called the three brothers to go to their hometown, saying that she was going to have a few drinks with Ah Guang and his father.
He immediately understood that his parents must have agreed to marry their daughter.
Why didn't his mother persist? Embarrassed?
Is it true that the mother-in-law looks more satisfied with her son-in-law?
Cheap, this guy, Hikari! Grass!
Ye Yaodong went to the old house with a serious face, seeing his father and Uncle Pei's blushing faces, he also knew that they had already had a round of drinking.
Ah Guang kept smirking with a red face, which made his eyes hurt.
drink! Must drink!
The three brothers took turns in tacit understanding, and the father and son were so drunk that they were tongue-tied and unable to speak before sending them back.
After returning to the old house, Mother Ye happily said that their family was going to give "three turns and one ring" and "thirty-six legs" as a bride price.
"Butterfly brand sewing machines, Phoenix brand bicycles, Shanghai Plum Blossom brand watches, and opera boxes. Aguang's father said that they have gone to the supply and marketing agency to look at them in the past few days. If they are sure, they will buy them immediately. It is definitely not a loss to Huimei..."
Ye Yaodong curled his lips. It was very difficult to put other people’s houses in three turns and one ring. Not many villages around them could afford these four items. Those who work in government agencies and state-owned enterprises can tidy them up.
But their family can afford it. His parents must have saved some in the past two months. He got the payment a few days ago and gave his father 300 yuan.
Really, let go so easily.
"I also asked your sister in advance, and she has no objection. Now, when their family finds a matchmaker to come to propose marriage, we will settle this matter. It is only two months before Chinese New Year, and we should get married before the end of the year."
"Too soon?" Ye Yaodong couldn't help but ask.
"What are you going to do? If you have money or not, marry a daughter-in-law to celebrate the new year. Back then, you got married within ten days..."
"That's different..."
"It's different. It's hard to find someone who is willing (blind), and you really have to settle down early. Aguang is different, and we in a village know everything..."
Mother Ye said beamingly, "Forget it, we'll talk about it when the matchmaker comes."
Looking at the shy look of his little sister, one is willing to fight, the other is willing to suffer, Ye Yaodong doesn't say anything, the girl is not going to stay, he should go back and let his wife figure it out when the time comes, and prepare a dowry.
A night without dreams until dawn.
Ye Yaodong planned to go to sea to collect the ground cage. He hadn't done any work for half a month, and his arm was much better.
During this period of time, the goods in the ground cage were either being collected by Xiao A, or his elder brother and second brother were collecting them. Every time they collected them all, they sent them over.
But it’s rare to be extravagant, he would give half of it to them, and then keep the rest for his wife and children to make up for, and then divide some to go to the old house. Go there, or let his mother figure it out and send some to relatives.
Lin Xiuqing felt that she had become plump during this time, but A Dongfei said that she was delusional, that she would not get fat after eating seafood, and that she was plump because of her pregnancy, and told her to eat more.
It may be that someone else helped to receive the goods, and my man didn't need to do any work. Waiting for them to deliver it at home felt like picking it up for nothing, and she didn't have to worry about it.
It feels too inappropriate.
"You don't want to keep the goods if you go to collect the cages by yourself today, sell everything that can be sold. During this period of time, you can eat all the good goods in your stomach. It's too extravagant. It can't be like this in the future."
"Is it not good to eat some? One person eats and two supplements."
"It's not money that you eat? Isn't it hard to make money?"
"Okay, okay~"
Anyway, the first thing to do is to make the decision, and it's not up to him to decide what to keep when the time comes.
Ye Yaodong went out carrying two large buckets. The two sister-in-laws at the door saw him carrying the buckets and asked in surprise, "Ah Dong is going to sea? Are you ready?"
"It's about the same. I've been raising it for more than half a month, and I haven't had any problems in my daily life recently."
"That's good, that's good." Second Aunt Ye smiled reluctantly.
"Then you have to be careful when you go out to sea, and don't be brave if you can't do your best. It's the same when your elder brother and second brother come back in the evening to help collect the goods. We are a family, so it's okay to ask them to help collect the goods. You can rest for a few more days. Take care of yourself, if there are any sequelae in the future, it won’t be good...hey...that’s all I’m saying, it’s best if you’re completely cured, otherwise the whole family is welcome, just help with something, it’s nothing..."
It's still his sister-in-law who speaks better and has a higher rank. Look at how beautiful her words are.
Obviously the smiles of the two of them were a bit forced just now, and the expressions in their eyes showed that they were reluctant to part with the good things of this period of time, but she was able to speak beautifully and make people listen comfortably.
Second sister-in-law Ye is more straightforward and can't hide things.
"Well, there should be nothing wrong. Go to sea and collect a ground cage to see. If there is no problem, I plan to go to sea. I haven't gone to sea for more than half a month. People are going to be useless. I really want to go back to the old days and play all day. work, father will have no work to do."
The last sentence can be regarded as a reminder to them, big brother, second brother's boat is his father's, if his father doesn't work, the big brother and second brother's boat will hang.
Mrs. Ye's mind turned quickly, and the smile on her face became more sincere, "Yeah, it's almost done, it's time to go to sea to make money."
"Um."
Ye Yaodong nodded casually, propped up the bamboo pole for drying clothes that fell down at the door, and then walked outside the pier.
"Hey... Ah Dong, shall we go to Taohai tomorrow on the first day of the lunar new year?" Mrs. Ye stopped him again.
He almost forgot about it, rested at home for half a month, and left it behind.
After he stopped, he thought for a while and said, "Shouldn't I go? I haven't gone fishing for more than half a month. I should go to sea at night. I still have the dried goods at home. Big brother and second brother also have boats now." , if you want to go, you can ask the eldest brother and the second brother to rest for a day, and let them take you there."
Second Aunt Ye nodded in disappointment. There was no wind and waves, and the family's boat must be going to sea to make money.
Ye Yaodong didn't care about them anymore.
The weather today is quite good, the sky is clear and the road is easy to walk.
It rained a few days ago, and the roads are full of mud and puddles. Whenever you go out, your shoes or trousers are covered with mud. The eldest son is frequently beaten three times a day. In the past, he was beaten every three days. It’s okay. Boys are solid.
Recently, he sleeps until he wakes up naturally, and today is the same, it is late, and there are not many ships at the dock, and they are all out to work.
"Hey, have you come back to life?" A Cai sat at the door of his purchase point, crossed his legs, and greeted him with a smile.
"Yes, I have to support my family, and I can't be a waste anymore. I really miss it, and it's better for you."
The corners of A Cai’s mouth twitched. He didn’t like hearing these words, it felt like he was calling him a waste.
"Go, go, get more good goods and send them over."
"OK."
Ye Yaodong smiled and walked towards the direction where his boat was docked. The boat was swayed by the waves. It was a pity that he hadn't set sail for fishing for more than half a month, but that trip was enough to earn money.
The number of his ground cages is still so many. Since he got the hooks, he has not added any more. He is afraid that he will not be able to collect them, but he is still a little reluctant to sell them. Mosquito legs are still meat no matter how small they are, and in the past few months The harvest of the ground cage is also okay.
The position of the buoy is still there. After they help him collect the goods, the cage is still put back to the original place.
Ye Yaodong pulled up the buoy and started to collect the net. The weight of the ground cage net in the water is still relatively heavy, but he still has strength in his hands to collect it.
It was confiscated after a day, and the first net was fine. There were two Huangshan fish that weighed one catty, the others were palm-sized water grain fish, and half a catty white shrimp. Ye Yaodong poured them all into the bucket. Here It is estimated that there are more than 4 catties of goods.
It’s just that except for the first net, the harvest of the next few nets is not very ideal. Each net only has less than one catty of goods, and a row of ground cages only collects about 10 catties. There is no big goods, the best is The two Huangshan fish weighing about one catty are worth two yuan.
The two rows of ground cages in the back are even worse. The two rows only received 11 to 2 catties of goods, all of which were some worthless small red shrimps and small miscellaneous fish.
Ye Yaodong feels that the weather has been cold recently, and the fish supply is not very abundant.
After he took back all 6 rows of ground cages, the two large buckets were barely full. The largest one was about five catties of conger eels, and the other two were about three catties of perch, and two about one catty of Huangshan. There are three catties of white shrimp, but there are quite a lot of octopuses. There are more than ten catties, and Xiagu also has more than three catties. The rest are all small fish and shrimps.
Portunus crabs should be out of season, and there are none. The same is true for blue crabs. Two days ago, two blue crabs could be collected. In the past, a few blue crabs could be netted in each ground cage, and there were more than a dozen.
The weather is cold, and the seafood along the coast is also less.
Today’s harvest is less than before, but it’s just so-so, at least I have the bait for going out to sea at night, and I’ll just go to Ah Cai’s to add some later.
After putting all the ground cages back into the sea, he will drive to the surrounding sea area for a while. He doesn't know where Xiaoxiao and Ah Zheng are putting the nets now, and he didn't see their boat when he came out.
Driving another 1 nautical mile out of the sea, he saw the small wooden boat of Ah Zheng and Xiao Xiao. What a bold dog!
The small wooden boat was like a leaf, floating and swaying on the sea, and he felt that a wave hit the boat and it would capsize.
The boat approached their boat, just in time to see them retracting the hook.
"You guys are so brave. How dare such a small wooden boat go out so far?"
"What are you afraid of? Anyway, it's still on the coast. If you fall, just climb up." Ah Zheng said nonchalantly.
Xiao Xiao asked curiously: "Your hands are better, you have strength? Why did you run out?"
"It's about the same, come out and collect the ground cage goods."
"Okay, then we don't need to collect the goods for you."
"It's really extravagant. You have to take a ground cage and drive a big boat more than ten meters away."
Ye Yaodong shrugged his shoulders, "I can't help it, I just made a fortune, not short of the gas expenses."
Although it costs a bit of gas, the efficiency is really high. It is better than rowing a small wooden boat half to death. It takes about ten minutes to drive here from the shore, but it takes at least half an hour to row.
Some time ago, after two months of paddling, he felt that the muscles in his arms were much stronger, and the fat on his waist was gone.
"Do you want to say something so hateful?" Ah Zheng glared at him, "It doesn't matter if you say you want to buy us a drink."
"It's arranged in the evening. I couldn't lift my hands a while ago, and even holding chopsticks was a problem. Come to my house in the evening. It just so happens that the cage has received some goods, and there is still enough for drinking."
It doesn’t matter if you don’t go to the literacy class for a day, anyway, he will join halfway, the future will be long, take your time.
"Okay, put the fat man and the others at night... ah yo yo~ **** it...money spots..."
Before Ah Zheng finished speaking, he saw Xiaoxiao pulled a top-quality grouper up, his eyes widened in surprise, and he was so happy that he would lie down.
"Fuck, what **** luck, you got a money spot as soon as I came!" Ye Yaodong also widened his eyes, and drove the boat a little closer.
Xiao Xiao couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, and didn't take off the hook, she just held the money spot under the sun and shined it, "Dongzi, you are a lucky star, what a big money spot! We have released the net for several months, and it is the first Catch such a large grouper at once!"
"How many catties is it?"
"It should be three to four catties! There are hexagonal spots all over the body, tsk tsk tsk~" The little eyes are shining, and I am very happy.
"Made, it's worth ten yuan."
Ye Yaodong looked greedy, he hasn't caught Money Banban yet.
This money spot should actually be called the hawksbill grouper, also known as the fish, flower head plum, and the nobleman among the kidney grouper. It mainly inhabits the coral reef area of coastal debris and often appears along the coast.
Ah Zheng also yelled happily, "Let me pick the hook, this fish is amazing, it's the first time I caught it, hahaha~~"
